of the Government, encompassed with enm-
plications in Afghanistan, and surrounded
by -difficulties arising from the attitude of
Germany and France in connection with
Egyptian and other matters both European
and Colonial. It is not surprising that a cry
is raised against a bellicose policy which can
only end in a fiasco ; but it is surprising that
such, innocence and simplicity should pre-
vail at the Council of our legislators. The
solution of the difficulty appears to be only
in a sensible gauge of our military strength,
and the extent and capacity of our resources.
Those we must apply to the best interests of
the country in the event of the necessity
arising of entering a conflict of more im-
portance than that of annihilating the in-
fluence of the False Prophet. We are told
that we have au army of nearly ten thousand
men already "locked up" iu the Soudan,
and it surely is prudent to consider carefully
whether we should dismantle our resources
by -sending another army of equally dis-
tinguished officers and men. There is this
certainty, that, if the Government do not
look the facts fairly in the face and en-
deavour to encounter them in a manner be-
fitting the prestige and historic character of
the British nation, they will retire from
their official life. amid an outburst of public
odium and indignation.
