Mr. Lloyd George addressed a large Liberal meeting at Kirkcaldy

last Saturday, when he discoursed on the iniquities of the Lords, the tragical waste of time in Parliament, and the noble efforts of the Government to save the Parliamentary machine from being destroyed by garrulity and pedantry. He also spoke of the danger to woman suffrage of associating the cause with a defence of violence, folly, and lunacy; but the most stimulating utterance was reserved for Dundee, where, in a conversation held en. route, Mr. Lloyd George genially observed, it propos of Welsh Disestablishment, that if the English Church did not take great care its turn would come next. Liberal Churchmen are long-suffering people, but they must smart bitterly under threats so unmannerly and so unnecessary as these. But threats, as the history of the French Revolution shows, are always part of the stock-in-trade of the Jacobin.
