The Liberal Federation's Report in the
Nature of Manifesto.
LONDON, Sept. 29-The report of the
council of liberal federation to bs presented
at the Newcastle meeting has the character
of a manifesto. 1t congratulates the party
upon the progress made during the year,
which, it says, inspires confidence in
the future The district agents
appointed to prepare for the gen
eral elections report that the arrange
ments are now complete. The condition of
the rural population is referred to as sug-
costing the basis for the policy to be urged
on the party. In regard to labor candi-
dates the council has increasingly urged the
liberal associations to adopt them where
success is probable. Every labor represen-
tative now in parliament will receive the
support Of the party.
LABOR CANDIDATES APPROVED.
A number of new laborists have already
been approved. and regotiations are pro-
crossing for the support of others. This
recognition promises to result in a substan-
tial addition to the number of labor mem
bers of the House of Commons. The coun-
Gil deplores some instances of so-caIled
laborists opposing well known and tried
liberal commoners, and says that this policy,
if persisted in, will result in
DHTbY ulht5beT, hilelub6 NObeTS anu TeLaTu
the return of genuine labor representatives
The report, continuing, says that the re-
turn Of large numCer of laborisJs to the
legislature of New South Wales has en-
coureged the advocates of the party to act
independently OF all political combinations
1t is forgotten that the circumstances in the
coonies and in Great Britain are widely
different
DIFFERENCE WITH THE CONDITIONS.
In the former many questions dividing
the parties at home do not exist there are
no hereditary peers, and no privileged
church. In England, so long as those other
burning questions are unsettled. the labor
party, as an independent party,
considers that it cannot assume
any real magnitude. The council renewsi its
pledges to do what ii can to reduce tie OBJ
stacles to all increase of labor representa-
tives in parliament by cheapening the cleo
ton expenses and recognizing the principle
of the payment of members. The true
policy Of the laborists is in an alliance with
the party whose motto is "for the greatest
good TO the greatest number"
OUTLOOK FOR THE SESSION
Dealing with the outlook for the coming
session, the report says that thegovernment
is obviously preparing, in view Of the eiec-
tions, to reappeal to the fears of the half
| hearted and to persuade them that COM
promise may be found between home rule
and coercion. 1T is impossible says the
| report, ito believe that the country will
| prefer az incomplete liberal measure from
the grudging hands Of the tory ministers
who have assumed to appropriate to them
| selves a programme which few
wears since they vehemenly denounced.
| The electors would rather wait for more
thorough proposals from the party from
which homo rule originally emanated
! When the elections come they will find the
| liberals ready to act, confident of victory
and strong 10 the conviction that fnal re-
| Cancellation of England and Ireland will be
added to the previous triumphs of Mr..
| Gladstone's genius aud labors."
