The " Daily Chronicle " says but tot smaller boroughs Toryism is almost extinct. The "Times" says that the great towns comparatively reversed the verdict of 1896-1900, but the iu the election would do well to remetn* bor that what they were witnessing wm not an expression of admiration of Liberal statcmanship or faith in the nebulous Liberal promises, or a whole* sale condemnation of Mr Balfour and all his works, It was only limited by the verdict upon the issues. Politicians Imagined that they knew what they were prescribing for. As a matter of fact, while they were disputing about the issues another issue was ship, 'ng itself, quietly and silently, Tii„ whether the workers, constituting a majority, should dictate the policy or be content with choosing between policies offered then by the traditional parties. The workers decided in the first alternative. The Laborites -form a. considerable section of the new House, and the Liberals, from whom the workers extorted pledges, and to whom they are indebted for their seats, are also very numerous. The Labor Party had chosen their new experi* incnt with great judgment and patriot* ism, seeing that the foreigu relations are settled and are peaceful and trade usually prosperous.
