At the head of the movement against the House of Lords
stands the National Liberal Federation. This powerful body
has issued its programme for the coming campaign. It is significant beyond any of its predecessors in that for the first time
it takes cognizance of the deadly liquor.-traffic in its platform.
It demands the principles of one-man-one-vote, the payment of
popular representatives, reform of the machinery of Parliamentary
registration, a single day for general elections all the country
over, and local control of the liquor-traffic.
These, or the more important ones of them, are the measures
which it will be necessary to pass before the battle of Home
Rule is finally won for Ireland. The battle may now be said to
have really begun. All'the signs and tokens point to the approach of a dissolution of Parliament and a rousing appeal to
the country by Mr. Gladstone.
