Ma3cat and the British Lion.

We publish to-day an interesting review Of
ihe causes which have led to the last Of the
many revolutions that have taken place in
Muscat. The facts stated were gathered on
the spAt, are absolutely reliable and suggest
one or two very obvious reflections.
As will be seen from the article, the British
Lion in the East, true to his pristine instincts
of ferocity, has been misconducting himself
very grossly. What concerns us still more is
that he has, indirectly, greatly damaged our
commercial interests by plunging a friendly
and independent kingdom into a condition of
ruinous anarchy. All this might have been
prevented by the presence Of an American
ship-of-war within a reasonable distance Of
Muscat, or even by the simple protest of an
honest and well-informed United States Consul.
an the confusion of the civil war the State De-
partment perhaps lost sight Of Oman but it
would be we'll for them in the future to keep
track of it's affairs.
The conduct Of the British Resident in the
Persian Gulf, Colonel Pelly, affords curious
view Of the vaunted sense of justice of the
Anglo-Indian governments. It is we'll known
IN Bombay that Colonel Pelly was appointed
Resident because while employed as private
secretaryto certain great man he acquired a
knowledge Of valuable secrets, which he
would not keep unless paid to do SO. Such an
appointment naturally leads to corruption,
like that whispered against him. The
home government of Great Britain would do
vell to strictly inquire into all the charges now
made. It is satisfactory, however, to note
that Thoorkee, the new Sultan, will probably
be q just and good ruler.

ETe to God and to His word whether 'fien wlll
hear or whether they will forbear There
must be no letting down of the standard Of
Christian duty and morals among us. And
when we come up to the full measure of the
Gospel we shall no longer have men pious In
the church and mean on the street, nor women
gentle and meek in the prayer meeting but
tscolds and tyrants at home. For ourselves
we may say that we believe that hero In this
land there is being nourished and strengthened
that manly type Of Christianity which is per-
meating She nations Of the earth and Is causing
tho thrones and the kingdoas of the Old World
and the New, which have sxisted for centuries
upon fraud and deception, to totter and to fall.
The words of Christ and the influence Of
American Christianity weigh more and go
further to-day In directing and shaping the
governments and legislation Of the earth than
ever before. The greatest and the grandest
sight which we can imagine here is to see a
band of manly men In whose hearts Christ
rules supreme doing manly work for Him, and
it will be found to be universal rule that
such men are the most popular in the church
and in the world. Would that we had more of
them In our city and in our land.
