The _British Weekly, one of the ablest Nonconformist journals, the
editor of which recently received the honour of knighthood from the present Government, publishes a long and damaging article on the tactics and policy of the Cabinet. With the " deepest regret" and " with the earnest hope that a change of policy may yet save what can be saved," the British Weekly expresses the opinion that "unless some great and decisive change is made,. the Government will take their way to the General Election on a road macadamised with broken vows." We are not prepared to say that all the charges brought by the British Weekly can be substantiated, --e.g., the statement that the Government intend to spring upon the nation a scheme for the reform of the House of Lords, also that " they apparently intend that the veto should extend only to the period during which the House of Lords is unreformed."
