to equal this exploit. There is. OF

The imperial ministerial pro-
! gramme for the session. as foresha-
dowed in the speech from the
throne, shows the change Of policy
IN regard To ireland. Speeches OF
ministers during the recess intimateI
an intention Of dealing with the
land question and also a modified
I system Of local government. Both
I measures will he considered rs iuui-
eating a Willingness on the mart of
the conservative government to
meet the wishes of the moderate
\ party IN Ireland and do something
towards quietinga troublesome par-
hamentary question. The legislation
promised for Scotland is also pre-
pared with the evident intention Of
eounteracting the liberal agitation
IN that kingdom Tor reforms Of
administration. But the most radical
part OF the new policy TO viii n the
ministry is apparently committed is
that in reference TO England. The
question Of land transfers is sur
rounded by extraordinary diff ]
culties. Though reforms in the law 4
have been long discussed, this is the 4
inst time a conservative govern I
ment has had the courage TO propose
them for practical test. The in I

Gratis and the rise Of the labor party
IS to be noted In the proposals to leg
islate regarding the liability OF en-
ployers, the dwellings of the " ork-
Ing people and also with reference
to savings banks. Altogether the
programme is a courageous one and
shows a natural desire to deal with
a class Of questions that nave been
coming more and more to the front
of late years.
