imaginative energy than Lord Beaconsfeld. ltmIght
have answered every political purpose in India bat
to contrve that an embassy should be 80 proiiered
as to insure its rebuff and to seize upon that rebun
as a means both Of conquering or Overaving Shere
Ali, and of ttrniug English attention away from
the collapse Of one triumph, in the eager expecta
ton of another on different seene-that Is con-
ception not perhaps unworthy of the most brilliant
political adventurer Of his time. 1t would be dan
gerous to affirm that this is the true exp lnaton OF
what is now going on in India Too few facts are
known to serve as the basis of confident opinion.
But this may be affirmed, that it is consistent WITH
such facts as we do know; that IL is coherent ana
plausble and that no more probable theory has yet
been put forward. 1t must be added that the
scheme bids fair to succeed. ItOccupes everybodys
thoughts, and most people agree that whatever may
have been the means or the motives which have
brought England to the verge of war with Afghan
istan she has no choice now but to draw the sword;
unless, indeed, Shere Ali should apologize, and ac-
cept the embassy he has ostentatlOusly repulsed.
And the Jingo" party halls it as one more chance
to bring on that conflict with Russia which they so
ardenty desire. G. W. 5,
