THE }XPRFSS, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER

juster or more splendid tribute to Lord etVor's
Indian services was ever paid than that contained
in Lord ELLENBOROUGH'S terse and eloquent eulo-
glum. The noble lord's speech has, however, a
practical value, and may be accepted as a guarantee
that munificent contributions to the national Monu-
ment will be sent from India. There is no reason
to doubt that they will be equally large and
liberal here. Lord CLYDE'S titled friends,
official acquaintances, and distinguished mili-
tary comrades have, as was fitting, taken the
initiative in the matter. But the public will not
be slow to follow in a movement which, if it is to
have any real value, significancy, and success,
must be in the truest and largest sense a national
one. Lord CLYDE was one of the people, sprung
from the humble ranks of social life—in a word, a
successful working man. After toiling with un-
wearied fidelity for half a century, he at length
gained a position in which he was able to save an
Empire. Such a man the whole nation will gladly
and gratefully unite to honour.
