The supply of election literature Of the very
first importance is simply overwhelming. Most OF
the leaders on either side of the House Of Commons
have now published their addresses, and the
speeches of the week include at least dozen from
men of the highest political rank. Mr.. Balfor
Lord Roscbery. Mr. Chamberlain, the Duke
f DevOrshire, tie Duke Of Argyll, Mr..
John Morley, Sir William Harcourt and
many more. There has been a great meeting
in Dublin in echo of the greater meeting III Bel
fast. There has been another in London. Yet it
is not quite certain that much new light has been
thrown on the situation One point comes ont
in Lord Roeebcry's speech Thursday at White
chapel not entirely new but very timely, There
have been rmorS of dissensions between Lord Rose
bcry and Mr.. Gladstone on foreign policy, and LORD
Kimberlys name has been mentioned as a possible
Foreign Minister in the Glacstonian Gov
crnmcnt instead Of Lord Roscbcry The
radicals of the party, o. some GA '''c.h.

because he has "A mind and will Of his own, partly
because of his opinion about Egypt and of tho
doubt whether he be willing to reverse Lord
Salisburys policy and fall down and worship
France. Lord R0sebery's speech is in this view
curious and important. lie says with that gravity
Gladstone has gone rather too far in his con-
donation Of Lord Salisbury's foreign policy Then
he adds with equal gravity that the new Foreign
Secretary, whoever he may be, will continue Lord
Salisburys present policy 80 far as we know
il" adding with some emphasis, We intend 10
try the experiment Of having a continuous foreign
policy" If Lord Roscbcry can persuade the coun-
try Of that, he will do much for his party. Most
