| LONDON, Aug. S.-The National Liberal
| Federation, an Outgrowth Of Mr.. Cham
berlaln's forsaken caucus. has issued
manifesto saying: "Although the result
of the election does not realize our hopes
the situation is encouraging, the support
ers Of half measures being the smallest
! group in Parliament. Mr.. Gladstone has
secured the support Of vast majority OF
the Liberals and Liberal organizations. AS
far as the federation is concerned the re-
suits of the appeal to the country com
! pletely justify the course taken by its
council. Greatly as we regret our
! losses, the manner in which the Libe-
rails responded TO Mr.. GladstOne's appeal
! proves that the federation represents the
real opinion of the Liberal party. That
party being committed TO effecting a
union between England and Ireland, will
never abandon that object until the goal
has been reached. No progress is p0ss-
BILE in Liberal work until that has been
settled, nor will the Conservatives be able
to indulge in cOngenal inactivity. 1t is
the imperative duty of Liberals to obtain,
at the earliest possible moment. an ex-
plicit statement of the Tory policy in re-
gard 10 Ireland. Mr.. Gladstone's policy
still lives and its ultimate triumph is as
| sured."

! that they will rush forward with home
! rule btll-that is, a home rule bill on the
! line OF Mr.. Gladstone's. our hopes must
be rather of negative than a positive
character, and this makes our people
anxiOus to 1nd out whether or not any
thing in the shape OF cOer-
cion bill will be introduced -
