DiSraeli's Diplomatic Victory.
| There has been within the last two
weeks great change in the tone of the
English press toward the Earl of Bea-
consfield, and many papers that praised
him without stint now criticise his
course. To those who are familiar with
the history of the Eastern question, and
of England's policy in regard thereto,
this is not strange. Beaconsfeld en-
tered the congress with the assurance
that he would secure triumph for En-
gland. Enthusiastic Englishmen jumped
to the conclusion that this triumph would
be secured by huniliating Russia and
by forcing remarkable concessions from
her. They had neither the long head
nor the knowledge of Eastern diplomacy
that guided their Prime Minister. I'm
derstanding Russia, and looking ahead
as did Russia, Beaconsield saw how
England could take advantage of the
battles Russia had fought and won. He
abandoned the old English policy, and
inaugurated a new one. He surren-
dered the principle of the integrity of
the Turkish empire, which has been so
obnoxious to Russia, and, caring little
for Bulgaria and Roumania, struck for
Asia. AS the real purpose of this new
departure has dawned upon the English
mind, the friends Of the old policy have.
taken alarm.
But the Prime Minister will carry
England with him, because he has given
up what was little more than sham,
and always burden, and secured great
advantages. Thirty years ago some of
the oldest and shrewdest officers in the
British army in India argued that the
old policy of antagonizlng Russia was
mistake, and that the true policy was to
join hands with her and settle the East
ern question as friends. These men
have had strong following for years,
and Beaconsfeld has been the first
Prime Minister to use their practical
knowledge and to act on their sugges-
tions.-Inter Ocean.
