piring-Niany VIII BE DISTINGUISHED
A War Issue ind Ants There Too.
London, Sept. 24.-The political cam
paign has commenced in earnest Only
another Week remains before the poll
ing begins, and ii will be only little
over five weeks before the new parlia-
! nent assemblies. That it Will be a con-
servatiye body is d foregone conclusion.
! Herbert Gladstone admits that ii is
\ quite impossible for the liberals to win
4 over the 100 seats necessary TO give
them victory. Thus from the outset
/ the election loses its interest, practical-
4 IL resolving itself into an opportunity
I for the politicians on both sides to air
4 their views and discuss the momentous
4 issues of the last year. This outbreak
j of oratory, judged from the initial
h stages, promises to develop no new or
/ startling facts. The conservatives Will
icontine their energies to the defense of.
4 the war in South Africa and It's man
| asement, While the Liberals will at
| tempt to ignore H. concentrating their
\ attack upon the failure of the conserva-s
( tives to fulfill their promises of bene-
! fetal home legislation. Tho this is Of
1 ticially he liberals main plank. the di-
/ vision of their ranks over the war is so
]. great that it is quite impos sible to!
/ keep all the candidates in line Thus.
I While Sir Edward Grey and Rt. Hon.
II. H. Asquitt and others are telling
the voters 1t is useless to discuss the
War, and are admitting that the an
/ neSation of the Boer republics is the
lsonly logical outcome MIR. Morley and
other We'll known members of the par
ty are telling where the unnecessary
annexation of the republicsi is a hot on
Englands fair name.
ON one point. however, the liberals all
unite, and that point is the unfairness
of Lord Salisbury in bringing about
the dissolution at the present moment.
whenth register Of 1898 is expiring, so
that thus all who We're not registered
lover Two years ago are disfranchised.
The new register comes into force in
: February. Thousands are affected,
K and the liberals maintain that Lord
! #Salisburys action Is not only without
i precedent, but is constitutional. On
THE other hand t;is CONSERVATIVES claim
Lord Salisbury acted fairly, as had he.
/ waited until after February he would
1 have had the undoubted advantage Of
The votes Of the soldiers returning from
I South Africa.
In their wrath that the election was
+ precipitatsd With 50 little warning, the
j2liberals are not alone. The business
men, regardless of party, are furious

tests. The publishers. for ms lance. af :.
ter a wreteled year seeing the War in
II south Africa ending and affairs in
China becoming more quiescent, made

trade. Just as they We're beginning to
aGput their new books OUT the announce
Slgment of the dissolution of parliament
came like q thunderclap, spelling all
their prospects. The stock exchange on

Into the conservative camp by the lib
