Sir E Grey on Liberal Disonion

AN IMITATION TO LORD j ROSEBERRY ■

Sir Edward Grey, on Ju> 17th, de livered an important speech to a Liberal gathering at Peterborough. Ha wished to comment on Lord Eoßebery's letter as frankly and pub licly as it seemed to invite o>mraenfr, His Lordship took a gloomy vt»iw of the future of the future of the Libpral party meeting at the Reform Olub. He thought differences existad in the Liberal party which wtsre irreooticiUbl" and that things could not rem-.n a» they are. That point, bownver, was not worth arguing. Events onlj would show who was right. (Hear, bear.) For himaelf, be felt that for the Liberal party they wera a' the beginning of new things, of a new life. (Cheers) But when Lori Kose bery weDt on to say that the Liberal party had at present two muds and tempera on Imperial affaire, a <d when he deplored the fact that ife had not as yet arrived at one mind on the moat important Imperial question o? the day, be was sure his Lordship did not mean to imply by that, that those of them Qh the Liberal side who held thnt this war was a just war were bound to express their confidence in the present Government, (Hetr, hear.) He would suggest that it LorJ Rose t>ery desired the Liberal p*rty to be brought to one mind on th> matter ho should go • good deal beyond hia letter. ( His?, hear;) He should b pin from the outside-— (cheers)—an \ use fan persons! influence to promo o that one mind. (Loud cheers.) It w»s true that lookers-on saw most of the gamp. Yes* but they did not influence the result. (He*r, hear.) It wss too Strong c thing to s»y of Lord Rosebery that even If he stood asid • he could not influence the result, because he had just that touch of something more than oleferuees, more than ability, which men 'O*!tad . jsalus, which would always make him, even'standing aside, interest ing to the country. The country would »lw»ye be interested, be fascinated by bis comments on public affairs. But for him to exercise his full influence in public life he needed to be in the confi dence of the country: (Cheers). Confi dence was not the same tiling as interest. It was only in the stress and heat of the struggle of political life that confi dence was to be gained, and it was only by keeping in the etreas and struggle of political life th»t confidence could be kept. (Cheers.) The Liberal party must make itself ao alternative force or ifc would disap pear. (Cheers) The task before them was a severe one, bat they must look fche facts in the face. (Hear, bear) Nobody would be justified in putting the country to th© expense of an elec tion just now, and he desired no gpne ral election before the war was over. (Cheers) In his opinion the country would resent very much another gene ral election forced upon it, perhaps on a similar false pretest as the last on p. (Gbeere). I! they were to effect the great; chaage desired in political opinion in their favour they must not depend upon organisation or machinery amdjaot rely wholly on the short comings of the present Government. What they had got to go on was their own merits, and what they had got to do in these intervening years was to give scope and form to the body of Liberal ideaa and reforms which would bo understood by the county and would appeal to it. (Cheers) There were three things which the Liberal party most set itself to do; The first was to get rid of that amount of dis trust which had come to attach to the Liberal party; With regard to exter- Bftl affairs, they had fco show they were in sympathy with the Imperial sentiment, aod that they reciprocated the Imperial sentiment in our colonies, which had made them desire that the \ firit results of their strength should be to come to the support of the Mother Country. (Cheers.) They must get rid of this rayth of national distrust, (Hear, hear.) The next thing they had to do vm to prove that Imperial ism was not the same thing as Jingoism —(cheers) —that there was no need for to to place ourselves in antagonism to any part of the civilised world. Hear, oe,ar.j In conclusion, he appealed to the Liberal party to ba tofera-nfc to* each other, bat at the same time to speak freely, Let; them bear in mind too, the lesson of the past generation,. < that if they wero to make progress they must be practical, They must take what they could get> and pat : their ideas in a practical form, which ; would appeal to the common seas© of ; the country.

The morning of life is the time of abundance, profusion, strength, vigor, growth. When the sun begins to sink, •when the midday of life is past, then the hair begins to fade and the silvery gray tells of approaching age. Sunrise or sunset? Which shall your mirror say ? If the former, then it is rich and dark hair, long and heavy hair; if the latter, it is short and fall* ing hair, thin and gray hair. The choice is yours,—for Ayer's Hair Vigor always restores color to gray hair, Stops falling of the hair, and makes the hair grow long and heavy. This is something you nave been looking for, isn't it ? And it is some thing you can have confidence in, for it is no experiment; people have beer using it for half a century. We do not claim it will do every tiling, but we do claim it is the best hair preparation ever made. Prepared by Dr. i. C. Ayer Co.. I.nwcM, Mss3., U. S. A. T. Bulloofc.
