The nritInh IlIaotlona

From the Montreal Herald.
For the reverses attending the later
patches Of elections Ia Great Britain the
Liberals will have TO thank the British
system largely. Simultaneous elections
Ia ali conatituenciea tend to offset the
human inclination to vote with the
crowd But the most enlightened
electorate Ia the world would fall under
the influence OF the crushing defeats
wilton the British Liberals underwent
during the hrst two days ofthe elections.
aud no one would be aurprised II the
hnal result sho ned the utter rout Of the
Liberal forces II Is pleasant 10 remem-
bar through 70 ali that Great Britain has
developed a well-marked tendency to
give the parties turn and turn about.
Tae Liberals will be back soon.
