Liberal Party Threatened with a Third
Movement

Movement
Not since the chartist agitation col
lapsed nearly fifty years ago, has the
Liberal party in England been threat
ened with third-party movement
whicn has caused the whips OF the lib
elal party anything like the uneasiness
.hey are now feeling in connection with
Tue independent labor party. This or
sanization has now nineteen candi-
yates In the field at work, in view OF
ene dissolution, and 1t threatens that
e'ery one OF them shall go to the poll.
IL IS led by Keir Hardie, already in tho
House OF Commons, as the representa-
i've or one of the outlying working
class constituencies of London. The
new party holds that the English
working classes must look to them
serves for a solution of the problems In
which labor is interested, and to this
END It's speakers, wherever they can get
nearing, urge the working classes to
put themselves outside both the exist
ing political parties, and to aim at hold
ing the balance of power in the con-
stltuencies and in the House Of Com
mons. AS national organization the
independent labor party has now been
IN existence for about three years.
summed up briefly, the new party Is in
politics for national manhood and
womanhood suffrage, payment of
members of parliament and of all
members Of public bodies, and the
seneral characterization Of the
whoie system of municipal and nation
al government. 1t also demands a
regal eight-hour day, the compulsory
abolition Of overtime and piece work.
the prohibition of the employment Of
children under IA years of age, pro-
vision outside the warehouses; for the
SICK, disabled, and aged out of the taxes
on unearned incomes, state pensions for
all over 30 years Of age, fee and unsec-
tartan education, primary, secondary,
and university, remunerative work for
the unemployed, and the substitution of
arDltration for war. These are the
pianks OF the platform upon which the
independent labor party candidates will
stand at the general election. The
nineteen candidates who are now in
the Held are all assigned to Industrial
constituencies in which but for their
presence liberal and radical candidates
would have good chances of election.
Many OF the seats to be contested by the
parry, as In the case of John Morley's
at Newcastle, have long been held by
Liberals, whose return would otherwise
be as certain as anything can be in
English politics. The Liberal party
has now given up any idea Of com
promise with the independent la
Dor men. Their only hope is that the
majority of the candidates will not be
able to find the sum Of f200 or $500
which 1t costs to contest a parlia-
mentary constituency. From any point
of view the new party introduces a
great element of uncertainty into the
approaching election.

BIG VESSELS FOR THE LAKES.
They Will, Ere Long, Do the Great Bulk
of the Carrying Trade.

They VIII, Ere Long, Do the Great Bulk
of the Carrying Trade.
Plans already formed settle the ques-
ton whether lake steamships 400 feet
long or upward, with capacity of car
rying 5000 tons Of freight at load,
will be common after the opening of
the channels twenty feet deep through
all the shadows between Duluth and
Chicago, and the ports of Lake Erie.
There is no longer a doubt that such
monster vessels will rapidly multiply
within the next few years, and they are
certain to do great part of the carry
ing trade Of the lakes, perhaps most
of 1t, before the end Of the century
The steamships already contracted for
and those which are certain to be built
before next spring will undoubtedly
so far surpass all vessels now in use
in ability to make money at low rates
| for freight that other vessel owners
will be forced to follow the pioneers
in this latest step forward in the con-
struction of splendid lake carriers.
Even an over-supply Of tonnage such
as Is very likely to be the result, will
not prevent the work of replacing
small craft with steamers of the larg-
est size from going on steadily. In one
sense it will hasten the change, says
Cleveland Leader. Only the biggest
vessels can make money in such sea-
sons Of general over-competition for
cargoes, and in order to continue the
business the owners of old boats must
let them go and put in commission
steamships equal to any on the great
lakes.

The Outlook Encoursqina.

The work of placing the stock for a New
England League team in the Kennebec
valley was begun, Wednesday afternoon,
and encouraging progress was made 1t
is evident that the business men of this
section are fully alive TO the advantages
of having position in this strong league
and the practical benefits to be secured
from the crowds that would be attracted
to the game.
Our people appreciate the fact that the
work of the New England League is not
mere boys play. 1t is business enter
prise and is backed by leading business
men in all of the live New England cities
where it has clubs. The present mayor
of Pawtucket, one of the ablest of the
pushing young men of Rhode Island is
the president of tic club in that city.
In three other cities of the circuit ex-
mayors are prominent hackers of the
teams. Among the hustlcrs for the team
in Lewiston are two gentlemen who have
served their city with credit in the Maine
Legislature and both the Portland and
Bangor teams are differed by some Of the
foremost men in those cities. The cities
of the Kennebec valley may well feel proud
to train in such company.
BY Il peculiar combination of circum-
stances a free franchise is now at their
disposal, and thcre is everything to indi-
cate that they viii not lack the spirit and
enterprise to avail themselves of it. We
believe that every man on the kennebec
should do something in aid of this move
ment A number of gentlemen have al
ready signified their willingness to take
shares i'll the company, and the work of
