Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Canadian Magazine of Politics, Science, Art and Literature, May-October 1902, Vol. 19 Lord Rosebery has suffered not a little in Canadian estimation at the hands of the cable correspondents. His exceptional position in British politics has been ascribed to vacillation, caprice, and lack of practical purpose. He has been thrown into contrast with Mr. Chamberlain, the alert, resourceful and audacious leader of the Conservative democracy. To us on this continent the one man has been pictured as wanting in successful leadership, the other as a new type of English politician, half American in method, a modernized jingo, bordering upon the demagogue. Neither view is in the least degree accurate, it is by looking through the spectacles of the New York cable correspondents that we get these distorted visions. To explain the keen interest taken in Lord Rosebery´s recent speeches, especially that delivered at Chesterfield last December, when he announced his return to politics, one must go back several years. A certain veil of mystery surrounds the withdrawal of Mr. Gladstone from the Premiership in 1893, and Lord Rosebery´s accession thereto. There has been gossip, half-fanciful, possibly half-real, but authoritative explanation of why Mr. Gladstone insisted upon retiring when he did, and how far Lord Rosebery secured the loyal co-operation of Mr. Gladstone´s associates in the Cabinet, there has been none. A commonly accepted story is that when the Home Rule Bill had been forced through the House of Commons and rejected by the Lords, the veteran Prime Minister desired to appeal again to the constituencies. But his colleagues urged that as the majority secured in 1892 had been given in favour of other promised measures besides Home Rule, it was well to attempt to carry some of these - Welsh and Scotch disestablishment, reform of the registration laws, local option, etc. - before dissolving again. Feeling that his failing faculties did not warrant his staying longer in active politics, Mr. Gladstone withdrew. His mantle fell upon Lord Rosebery, but, as we can sec now after the lapse of years, the vitality of the Liberal party departed with its illustrious leader. The seeds of decay were in the Ministry he left behind him, and according to the stories current at the time and since, the leader in the House of Commons, Sir William Harcourt, was never on cordial terms with the new Prime Minister. It was even said that they did not speak. Be that as it may, the Ministry soon fell. The elections of 1895 gave a great majority to the Salisbury-Cham-berlain coalition, and Lord Rosebery´s position, equivocal enough, owing to defeat, was rendered intolerable by Mr. Gladstone suddenly emerging from his retreat and beginning a campaign against the Armenian atrocities, and incidentally, of course, against the foreign policy of the Ministry, a policy which had a modified support from Lord Rosebery.
