LORD RosERERvs CHESTERFIELD SPEECH

The long expected and much advertised speech Of
Lord Rosebery at Chesterfield has not told the public
of Great Britain the world at large anything partc
ulary new. All the world knew and the public Of
Great Britain knew that, in spite OF my Lord Rose
bery's having pretended for time TO be out of
politics he would very much like to be premier again.
In fact, he made conceament of this ambition in
his speech Amid loud cheers he declared that his
vices were at the disposal Of the country in anything
ne could do to further the policy he had expounded
While, OF course the speech not be regarded,
Lord Roseberys ardent admirers propheeied would
be the a speech that would save the nation
(were the nation in danger speech of however great
could do that It is pretty good exposition of
the principles Of the liberal party.
It is to be regretted that the liberals we'll the
conservatives, believe in continuing the Boer
Lord Rosebery insists that it be accepted just
and pushed vigorously to annexation He accepts the
policy of the colonial secretary and him for
exciting the ire of the foreign press No contenance
he says is to be given to the vile and Infamous" sto-
ries of British barbarty' spread the continent
The policy of imperialism he insists must be accepted
by the liberal party-not a program of aggression
greed and violence" but "a sentiment of affection in
volvng family feeling of pride" in the colonies and
empire of Great Britain. The liberal party his lord
ship held must drop Irish home rule and the proposal
20 dsestablish the church 1t must clean its slate
put away 'ideasts and honest fanatics reform par
lament, overhaul the and navy departments and
hiring them up to date. The governmental machine, he
said, needs remodeling, The Salisbury ministry he
ridcuIed as being sadly inefficient provocative and
sactless, with result thai it has gotten England hated
IN many countries.
This is the new liberalism as expounded by the
leader OF the liberal party In many respects it seems
identical with old conservatism The of the
semblance is undoubtedly that Lord Rosebery is formu
latng program upon which he thinks he can win
He is, above everything else, practical politician. AS
he said in his speech we must keep eyes the
stars, but we must also remember that feet
the ground"
