this moment Pitt played desperate
game, and was always liable to suffer the
penalty of failure. But Nj. Gladstone is
asked to do nothing more than carry out
certain internal reforms which he has ca
gerly advocated for years past. When
mans heart is set upon great work,
and the power to accomplish that work
is suddenly placed in his hands, we
have right to look for great results.
MIR. Gladstone is absolutely master at the
present time of the destinies of England.
He has an enormous majority in the
House of Commons at his back. The
vast bulk of the people are cheering him
on. The opposition party are weak and
disorganized. Even MIR. Disraeli's genius
can do nothing for the Conservatives.
The day has gone by when the Prime
Minister was little more than puppet in
the hands of the Sovereign. Mr.. Glad
stone has more power than the Queen,
and it is difficult to say what measure he
could not pass through Parliament if he
chose to bring all his strength to bear
upon it. He occupies the grandest posi-
ton which any man of his country has
been able to boast of since Parliamentary
Government was known.
