On Saturday last, Mr. Asquith addressed another meeting of his

constituents at Ladybank ; but the speech was not an important one, except that he reiterated his views on the duty of keeping order, and the criminal character of what the Parnellites are pleased to call " political " offences,—namely, the use of dynataite,—in his usual clear and manly way, and intimated pretty plainly that he thought the Home-rule question a very bad one to dissolve upon. He said that the Government would take care to pass some more popular measure,—such as a large Registration Bill,—before they challenged a verdict on Home-rule. He elicited many cheers by his promise to enforce more effectually the inspection of dangerous trades.
