at a meeting of the Council of the Liberal League deserves serious consideration. Men, who have only entered upon active political life during the last few years during which Lord Rosebery has steadily maintained an attitude of aloofness towards official Liberalism, are apt to forget the faithful and valuable services he formerly rendered to the party. His influence in Scotland was second only to that of Mr. Gladstone, whose triumphs in Midlothian were largely due to his initiation and energy; and when the unhappy Home Rule rupture of the party took place, it was to Lord Rosebery that Mr. Gladstone pointed as his most worthy successor in the Liberal Leadership. The language of the last Liberal Prime Minister cannot but reflect what is present to the minds of many men in the Liberal ranks, when he protests against the injury done to the party by the speeches of extremists in associating in the popular mind Liberalism with hostility to property. Should that come about, he predicts that at no distant time the Liberal party will find itself squeezed out between Socialism and Conservatism.
'Socialism can promise much more to the predatory elements in politics, Conservatism can afford much more confidence to those who wish to keep things actually as they are. And I do not see how, if the Liberal party is to associate itself with a general attack on property in all its forms, as some predict and as some see signs of, there will be any room for its existence in the political arena.
He had seen in his time, Lord Rosebery went on to say, many Liberal Governments, and the chief cause which had brought them to destruction was, he believed, the prevalence of a fear at the General Election that they were threatening property. This is a warning which Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman would do well to bear in mind. Amongst his colleagues are many men whose individual character and abilities have earned the respect of the public. But how far is their influence sufficient to guarantee wise and prudent policy? In former days the presence, say, of Lord Hartington or Lord Goschen in a Cabinet was felt to be a security against reckless statesmanship or the pursuit in supposed party interests of a course of political adventure. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, however deservedly popular with the House of Commons, does certainly not impress the country as did either Mr. Gladstone or Lord Salisbury. There are difficult times in store for us, and, before many months are over, Ministers will have to show of what mettle they are made, and to whom among them the country is to look for wise and steady guidance.
