London Press on Rosebery's Retirement.
All the morning papers have editorial
comments on Lord Rosehery's retirement
from the Liberal leadership. The Times
says: "Tho Armenian agitation has not
deposod the sultan, but it has driven Lord
Rosebery from his leadership The ma
tiOn hos the right 30 know In detail Lord
Rosebory's opinion Of the means OF dealing
with the eastern problem. We cannot
doubt that he acted rightly in yielding
the nominal authority which has been set
al nauRht by his colleagues"
Proceeding then 90 prescribe the diff
cultiss, amounting to a practical boycott
by the leaders OF the party ever since Mr..
Gladstone retired, The Times article con-
tlnucs:
Lord Rosebery might have gone still
further and might have added that he had
been subjected to attacks such as no politi-
cal leader has met with from the organs
Of his own party in our time.
IL is needless to choose a new leader.

energy ns a fighting partisan out Of Office.
Nobody in either the lords OF the com
mons could attempt 10 compete with him,
and it would be absurd 20 treat seriously
the suggestion that Dir. Gladstone be re-
called. "
The Daily News the Liberal organ, IN
an editorial says:
Lord Rosohery has allowed himself by
undor and above ground means TO be
maneuvered out Of tha leadership. His
lettor Will aslonish the political world. IL
Is a very grave and lamentable step. be-
cause It seems 60 encourage the spirit OF
faction, disloyalty and hackbiting which
reduces parties 90 impotence and degrades
the whole tone OF public life. But il IL
not irrevocahle Lord Rusebery must be
reelected. Mr.. Gladstone by advocating
single handed action on tho part Of Eng
land IN Turkey, has brought, not harmony
but a sword into the agitation. Il is true
that he professed to speak only as a private
citizen, but he cannot undo the post moi
diYest himself Of his matchless authority. .
