SPEECH BY LORD ROSEBERY.
PRAISE FOR,THE GOVERNMENT. THE' PRINCIPLE OP EFFICIENCY. ?iess ABSociaties—By Tolesniph—Cepyriglit, LONDON, March' 27. (Received March 27, at 11.25 p.m.) .Lord. Roscbcry, addressing the Council of tho.Liberal League, said although, a. Government emerging from an election with a great majority was entitled to ..something like a free hand, at anyrato for the lirst year of its existence, the league's vigilant activity was never mows necessary than now. He could 6pcak quite frankly regarding the Government. He owed the Government no confidence, and had iio connection, secret or open, with it. Ho was not suro even that lio owed it the common courtesies of life. That made it more iricmnbonb on him to say tl)at he considered that the C'pvernuicnt had surmounted great difficulties with extraordinary success, and caire to tho second session invigorated by the experience of the first. I'hc vice-presidents of the leaguo had carried into tho Government the principlo of efficiency, which the league had so, loudly demanded when the country was in the middlo of tho Boor war. His'apprehension regarding tho Government was concerned not with its past, nor with its composition, but lest it. should make too many impossible promises.
