TO CORRESPONDENTS. Mr. Miall's speech will be published separately by the Liberation Society. We apologise to subscribers for irregular despatch of papers in the last weeks. Delays traced to difficulties in quick paper machining after the destruction of Burt's printing establishment.
The NONCONFORMIST will print full reports on the Peace Society annual meeting and related anniversaries in the Wednesday May 24 edition with supplement. May 4 Liberation Conference report and May 11 debate on Mr Miall's motion are also available, with full May numbers offered by post for stamps.

The article criticizes the Gladstone Administration for losing support of the Liberal majority and facing ongoing conflicts to keep power. It argues the party’s strength is waning, not due to dissent within the Liberal bloc but the Ministry’s chosen course, potentially endangering its supremacy and cohesion.
The piece criticizes the government for courting Conservative opponents, weakening its own majority, and mishandling key bills. It argues Forster’s education bill sparked disintegration, while war panic and Army Regulation debates harmed economy. It warns Liberal fear and possible mutiny unless ministers unite and act decisively.
