Lord Rosebery on Dormant Liberalism.

Lord Eoßebery, in the course of a speech, as guest at the National Liberal Club, said: —I have alwayß held at all times and during all the worst cries of ithe Liberal party, that there is a great dormant force of Liberalism in this country. (Cheers.) Ah, but then you must remember this—• that Liberalism, dormant or living, has profoundly modified its character. It is prepared to consider and to investigate the problems of the present; it is not prepared to keep its eyes fixed upon the past, The Liberal Party when it goes into Opposition is apt to become a chaos of the conflicting aspirations which have always, so far as I know, existed within the Liberal party, and which find a'free vent when the Liberal party first goes into Opposition, and con tinue that free utterance for a long time afterwards. The Liberal party in Opposi tion, if I am right, is not as a rule united l>y any positive enthusiasm ; it is united by a reaction from the errors of the Govern ment in power. (Hear, hear. Welt, if that be sound doctrine—and I believe it is sound doctrine - how do you stand now ? Surely no Liberal p:irty has ever stood better. (Cheers.) I think my self that during the past seven years since the Liberal party was last in power there have been great opportunities. I do not think that they have always been utilised, j But you never had such opportuuities as you have now. I think the Liberal Opposi tion in Parliament have never stood so well for unity ; 1 think they havo never had such a case in which to appeal to the nation ! outside Parliament, for I have little hope of their appeal either to the Lords or to the Commons. (Uheeis.) The absence of an alternative to the present Government has been even greater than the want of fore sight of the present Government, even greater than their weakness, even greater than the ineptitude of their foreign policy an evilforthe nation itself. (Cheers.) I believe that if you can one© come together—and I don't doubt it for a moment —(cheers) —if you can once come together and stand shoulder to shoulder in a great political cause, you. will forget these petty personal questions—of the sxistence of which I en tertain the most wholesome doubts—but you will forget the phantoms of those per sonal questions, and resuscitate once more a great political party, worthy, of the por traits I see around these walls—(cheers) — and especially of that illustrictu leader — (hear, hear) —who, had he lived, I am con vinced, would have told you this —Do not regard me as a prophet whose eayings are. to be graven on tablets of stone and to be kept as sacred for all time, but ba a Liberal party in its essenco and in its spirit, moving with the times, adapted to the times, and prepared to face the problems of the times, i Cheers, which were again and again re newed.)

A Boer General's Letter.

The Press Association says :—General Ben Viljoen, who is a prisoner of war at St Helena, has sent the following letter to Miss Harrison, a London lady, in acknow ledgment of a letter thanking him for his kindness to her nephew:— " St Helena, May 6,1902 " Dear MissHarr Lson, —I greatfully ackno wledge receipt oi: your esteemed letter, with acompanyino: Bible. It is very kind of you to speak so highly of. the treatment your nephew got from my hands. But I did not treat him better than any other British soldier that very often fell into my hands, and the same can be said for every burgher officer. There is no personal griev ance between us and your people, and I hope yon will grant that we are not fighting for the love of it, but for the highest ideals and noblest principals of humanity—viz., liberty ; not a liberty that we know not or seek to attain, but that which we possess and our fathers possessed, and which is being threatened to be wrenched from us. At the same time we are* not blinded to extremes by the turn of luck, and I think those who have come much in contact with our people will agree that humanity and Christian feeling is one of the features of the character of 95 per cent of Afrikanders. I ami, I hope, not raiEiunderstood; but I see so often in English papers how we are slander ed and your people abroad misled by most cruel and unjust misrepresentations that I thought you might forgive me trying to expound in a small degree the gist of our feelings. I observe your remark that you are not a £ pro-Boer.' Ido not quite un derstand what a ' pro-Boer' is. Anyhow I expect no Britisher to turn against his own f people, as little as I hope you expect an Afrikander to turn against his people. I must beg you to forgive my bad English. The language is rather foreign to me, but I do my best to pick it up.—ln meantime believe me, yours respectfully, B J. Viljoen, General, Prisoner oi War,"

Great Britain and Germany.

THE PEOBABILITT OF WAE,

In an article in a recent issue, the " Scots man. " says, inter alia ■. —Those who have studied the recent developments of Ger man policy and the recent utterances* of German publicists with the sanction of the German Government, have noticed that there is every note of preparation for a war at some time with Great Britain. They have spoken of a " Naval Sadowa." Their Navy League is urging on the building of German ships of war. The German Govern ment knows with absolute certainty that if it were now to precipitate a war against Great Britain it would be beaten, and German commerce and German interests would be thrown back for a century. But there is every reason to believe that the Government thinks what the advocates of the Navy League and many German public ists assert is true, and that Germany will be able to cope with Great Britain when the German Navy now being built is com .plete. In short, those who reckon on the goodwill of Germany towards this country reckon on what does not exist, or only exists in very few quarters. We have to count in the future upon German hostility, just as we have experienced German hostility in the recent past. Not long ago it was said in the German Parliament that if Great Britain were to alter her tariff as n gainst German products it might be a cause of war.
