CHRONICLE OF THE WEEK.
LORD ROSEBERY
AT SCARBOROUGH. L ‘ ORD ROSEBERY fulfilled a series of political engagements at Scarborough on Friday last. His “ Trip to Scar
borough ” was by no means a holiday, for he delivered no less than three speeches in one day. He formally opened the new Liberal Club, was the principal guest at a public luncheon in the building on the Foreshore, till lately used as a Fisheries Exhibition, and, in the evening, addressed a mass meeting in the Circus. At the opening of the Club he told his hearers that before they could “ talk of a Liberal victory, they must win a Liberal victory,” and, as a means of accomplishing that end, he advised the persistent education of the electorate in order to abolish their present “ extreme gullibility.” He pointed out as the direction which this education should take the capabilities of the State towards beneficent legislation. This would prepare a reaction which would again float the ¡Liberal party into power. But his lordship declared that he did not want power from mere reaction, from false issues, or petulant impulse, but “ from the sober and well-considered support of sober and well-considered reforms.” At *ihe luncheon, after deprecating the idea of any reason for the Liberal party being dispirited, he said to them cheerily that the task now before them was to “ rebuild and reconstruct.” He advised that there should be no indiscriminate criticism of the policy of the party in power, and proceeded to approve of the foreign policy now being pursued by Lord ■ Salisbury.
----HIS SPEECH
IN THE CIRCUS.
Addressing the mass meeting in the evening, Lord Rosebery treared an unpleasant subject in the pleasantest manner. As a help to the process of the reconstruction of
•the shattered forces of Liberalism it was necessary to discuss with all frankness the reasons of their defeat. Those reasons, in the opinion of his lordship, were the length and multiplicity of their programmes, the blow sustained in the loss of the personality of Mr. Gladstone, and the indubitable fact that the Liberal party must “ to some extent have lost its hold on the masses of the country.” Ihe devotion of Parliamentary time to non-English measures, disappointment in the high hopes formed of the measures actually passed, and the alienation of the well-to-do were suggested

as the cause of this declining affection on the part of the country. The glamour of the enfranchising times of Liberalism had passed away ; the present was the age of construction; and constructive legislation, which must always, from its very nature, be largely experimental was difficult, and liable to constant disappointmeut. This retrospect was not gloomy, it was a frank statement of the truth. Lord Rosebery saw no cause for despondency in their adversity,, the uses of which are sweet; Liberalism will be afforded opportunities of better organization. A long Government programme was then constructed from the election addresses of prominent Cabinet Ministers, which, if it were all to come at once, would assuredly compel the Newcastle programme to hide its diminished head in point of the multiplicity of its items. His lordship concluded his speech by an exhortation to his hearers “ to be of good cheer,” for Liberalism has behind it “ the moral forces of mankind— all that makes for justice between man and man— all that makes for equality of opportunity to all •— all that makes for religious freedom— all that makes for commercial freedom, all that makes for sympathy and succour to the oppressed.” It must be confessed that with such power behind the Party it is difficult to account for the last verdict of the polls.
On Friday night an equestrian statue of the w i l h e l m a t late Emperor Frederick was unveiled by the w o r t h . Emperor William on the battle-field of Worth.
It represents the late Emperor in field uniform and cap pointing and looking westwards, his horse stepping on the rocks, which form the foundation of the monument, as if the Imperial rider was about to give orders to the leaders of the troops, after the intended skirmish was seen to b t growing into a great battle. The rocks of the pedestal are decorated in front with the combined arms of AlsaceLorraine, surmounted by an eagle, and in front also stand two old German warriors with hands clasped together, representing the united troops of North and South Germany. The sculptor is Herr Baumbach, of Berlin. After a stirring address had been delivered by General Miscke, his Majesty unveiled the monument, and, standing in front of the monument, declared : “ Germany has the will and the strength to keep Alsace-Lorraine under all circumstances.” In his speech the Emperor thanked his mother, the Empress Frederick, for her presence there that day, and called for cheers in her honour. A word in praise of the statue was followed by the declaration: “ What we feel, however, in presence of this statue, and in remembering the 25th anniversary of
