LIBERAL ADDRESSES.

LONDON, March 10.-Wm. E. Forster, liberal
leader, has issued an address to the electors of
Bradford. He denied that the political oppo-
nents of Beaconsfeld seek to desintegratc the
United Kingdom and intimstes that the charge
is made in the hope of diverting attention from
the mischeviOus foreign and Indian policy of
the government. Shaw, home ruler, in an adj
dress to his Cork constituency characterizes the
letter of Deaconsfield as an electiOneering
manifesto, placing false issues before the peo-
pie and tending to excite tho worst passions of
the ignorant. He attributes the famine to the
governments culpable ignorance and neglect.
He calls on the Irish people north and south to
answer the insulting mission of the prime
minister by returning an overwhelming major.
ity pledged to the settlement of the great vital
national land question, pledged to give ampler
facilities for the creation Of peasant prOprie-
tary. and wherever possible to restore, define
and legalize tenant right in Ulster, and extend
it to the whole of Ireland.
STOCKS pANICKY.
LONDON, March 10.-The stock exchange
showed the effect of the approaching dissolu'
ton of parliament yesterday in sharp decline
in consols and most home securities on the the
DRY that general election means an increased
demand for money. 1t is calculated that the
expenditures of candidates will aggregate over
2 COO, GOO pounds, which amount must be with.
drawn from London and sent to the provinces.
There was q severe panic in water stocks a. the
dissolution of parliament ia . practical aban-
donment of the bill introduced in the house of
commons by Cross, home secretary, and the
impression prevails that the announcement Of
the Times for purchase of the water works in
that bill has damaged almost beyond recov-
cry, any chance of making good bargain for
the companies in the future. Some shares fell
so pounds from Mondays closing prices, and
all left off yesterday at rates varying from 10
to 40 pounds.
HOME RULE PROSPECTS.
1t is said, Shaw address. in reply to the
prime minister's manifesto, represents the tone
to be adopted by the home rule followers. It
is calculated that in Ireland seven conservs-
tives will lose their seats, and be replaced by
home rulers; that eight conservatives will be
replaced 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 opportunity
offers, conservative will be brought forward.
The home rulers count on returning with seven
ty votes, and the active section claims thirty
of these will support Parnell. Right Hon. E.
Dwyer Gray announces he will not again offer
himself to the electors of the county of Tippe-
rary. He is spoken of as possible candidate
for the city Of Dublin but his friends declare
be intends to retire from parliament altogether.
THE LIBERAL MANIFESTO.
LONDON, March 10.-The Marquis of Har-
tington has issued the following address to the
electors of Northeast Lancashire, which con-
stitutes the manifesto of the liberal party: 1
scck to evade no issues which the government
..au raise, bat it is necessary that they should
be plainly stated, and Others, which Lord
Beaconsfeld evades, be brought before you. l
know of no party which challenges the expedi-
ency of the imperial character of the realm,
or which has attempted to enfeeble the cole
MES by policy of decomposition. The colonies
are now more loyal and willing to undertake
common responsibility of the blunders, which
must be borne by all members of great en-
pire.
The home rule agitation has existed during
the whole of this parlisment. The govern
ment has hitherto treated it with indifference,
if not indulgence. The attempt to reawaken
national animosities by description of dan
gers worse than pestilence or famine, appears
unnecessary and unwise. The agitation must
be met, not by passionate exasgeration, but by
firm, consistent resistance, combined with
proof that the imperial parliament is willing
to grant every reasonable and just demand of
the Irish for equal land and Institutions. We,
regardless of party considerations, ce-Operated
with the government in Irish educational
measures, although we thought they were in
some respects inadequate and not calculated to
effect final settlement, because we thought they
gave proof to the Irish people of the desire of
all parties in parliament to meet reasonable
demands.
As for Lord Becconsfeld's claim to have
maintained the peace of Europe, the govern
ment didn't prevent, even if they didn't cause
war in the East. The ascendancy of England
has been claimed in circulars and surrendered
in secret conventions. The influence of Eng
land is not based on boasts of ascendency over
Europe, but rests on the frmness and m0dera-
ton of conduct, based IN the material and
moral strength of our position and exercised
in concert with other nations in behalf of
peace, justice and freedom.
