The first plumber of the Canadian
Liberal Monthly, published at Otta-
wa, has made its• appeaeajnee. Its
•scope and object cannot'be better,
explained than by an extract from
the opening article:
"It will aim !at'recording from
month to month, opinions had
events which -are of interest to the
Liberal parity in Canada'and the
promoting of Liberal principles in
matters of government. Its main
purpose is educational. It will seek
to' give ;its retaderj am intelligent
appreciation, of Liberalism—what
Liberalism stands for; what the Li-
e beral parity has accomplished for
Canada in the past, and whet are
its present policies and aims. It
will present a aomprrehensive view
of the political situation in the Do
minion, and of movements affect-
ing Canada in her imperial and in-
ternational relations. It will en'
deiavor to make clear the limes of.
cleavage between Liberalism and
and Conservatism, between the
present Government and the pres-
ent Opposition in Parliament: This
will be done by fair and impartial
statement of the facts as they are,
and by a critical examination, of
the work 'of' the Administration
