LONDON, March 10th.-The Liberal leader
has issued an address to the electors of Brad
ford. He denies that the political opponents
of Beaconsfiele seek to disintegrate the
United Kingdom, and intimates that the
charge is made in the hope of diVerting at.

dian policy of the Government.
Shaw Home Ruler), Ill an address to his
Cork constituency, characterizes the letter of
Beaconsfield as an electioneering manifesto,
placing false issue before the people, and
tending to excite the worst passions of the
ignorant. He attributes to the Government
culpable ignorance and neglect. he calls on
the Irish people, north and south, to answer
the insulting nissive of the Prime Minister
by returning an overwhelming majority
pledged to the settlement OF the great vital
national land question, and pledged to give
ample facilities for the creation Of peasant
proprietary, wherever possible, to restore, de-
fine and legalize the tenant right in Ulster,
and extend it to the whole of Ireland.

LONDON, March 10Th 1t is said that
Shaw's address in reply to the Prime Minis
ter's manifesto represents the tone to be
adopted by his Home Rule followers. 1t is
calculated that in Ireland seven Conservatives
will lose their seats and be replaced by Home
Rulers, that eight Conservatives viii be re-
placed by Liberals, and that two Liberals
will be replaced by Home Rulers. On the
other hand, the several Home Rule contests
will be watched narrowly, and where oppor-

A Manifesto of the Liberal Party.
LONDON, March 10th.-The Marquis of
Harrington has issued the following address
70 the electors of Northeast Lancashire,
which constitutes the manifesto of the Liberal
party:
seek to evade no issues which the Government
can raise but it is necessary that they should be
piainly stated, and others which Lord Beaconsf Id
evades be brought before you. know OF no party
which challenges the expectancy Of the imperial
character OF the realm, or which has attempted to
enfeeble the Colonies by policy Of decomposition.
If the Colonies are now more loyal and willing TO
undertake the common responsibility OF the burdens
which must be borne by all members OF reat ell-
pre it is due to the self governing institutions and
principles OF sefreliance which they received from
Liberal statesmen. No patriotic purpose IL served
by exaggerated language in describing the agitation
OF home rule. ANY concession to that very imprac-
ticable demand would be mischieyOus to all three
Kingdoms. The aggressive Home Rulers must be
met by firm, consistent resistance, and proof that
the Imperial Parliament is willing to grant every
reasonable and Just demand Of the Irsh fer equal
laws and institutions.
Harrington discusses the educational ques-
ton, and says:
Much remains to be done before we can hOre 10
convince Ireland Of the impartiality OF Parliament
in removing the inequalities OF the laws as to
Beaconiields claim to have maintained the peace OF
EUROPE the declared object OF the ascendancy Of
England in European affairs has been frustrated by
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of Russia and the destruction oil
the independence of Turkey. The Anglo Turkish
convention is dead letter. Thus the Governments
policy has failed, but EnglaUd's immense re-
snonsibilities remain. The African war brought
neither honor nor advantage. The Government de-
stroyed in Aighanis,an a nation important to the
safety Of the Indian frontier. The Government has
involved India in immense expense for the pres
ent and future at time when her finances only
be balanced by o reduction Of necessary public
works. The Liberals were more sincere and success
full than the present Government in securing the
Just influence If England in Europe Beacons-
fields Turkish and Gladstones relgian policy may
be coatrasted. The Government, in asking the re-
establishment Of Engiand5 ascendency, fails to
designate the purpose of that influence. The rest
less and undecided foreign policy has sasnated IN
ternal reforms aud produced financial confusion.
He criticises the imbecility Of the Govern
ment in regard to the distribution of land
and its small regard for the labors of the Leg
islature He says that the Chancellor of the
Excheeuer must explain how a deficit ae-
cumulated during two years shall be dealt
with He must either confess that the Coz
ernment shrinks from asking the people to
pay the annual charge of their policy, or ask
a sacrifice from the taxpayers which would
grievously check reviviDg trade and industry.
When the Ministers entered office the finances
were eminentlY satisfactory. Had the elect

dress has been issued by Sir Stafford North
cote to the electors of North Devon:
The duration of the present Parliament has been
long, but its age is not to be measured by the num-
Der OF years it sat much by the Importance of

anxiety it has upheld the honor OF the country and
indicated its claims TO its proper rank and influence
among the nations 1t has received at the

It's patriotic AIM its foreign, colonial and domest
policy have all been animated by the same spirit
and same determination TO uphold the greatness,
integrity aud Constitution of the Empire, and to
lnit together the various races who acknowledge
the sovereignty Of the Queen. 1t has labored 70
avert war, and where that has been improbable 1t
has successfully strven to limit its range and TO
prevent complications which would have been
menacing to particular interests OF the country and
the general peace of Europe. 1t has emphat-
ically proclaimed national determination
TO maintain strengthen and defend the co onal and
Indian Empire. 1t has earnestly promoted meas
ures for the advancement of the true interests Of
Ireland while it has steadily resisted proposals

United Kingdom. In its domestic legislation it has
kept in view the Importance Of aiming
at the general good of the community.

in many laws affecting the great industrial classes
After period OF commercial depression almost un-
exampled and OF agricultural l7sses, during which
we have had to incur the expense of defending our
interests in three different quarters of the globe,
