There is n story going aDOut, Guudrd, we believe,
on good Authority, that wAen some one quoted
"Iahcrpd,' TWO or three months ago, IN Lord Bca-
cOuslirlGS presence, the Prime Minister remarked,
"Ahl perceive you have been reading lauclcu

it in relation the policy OF the day Turn, for in

These are all the ideas Of his recent policy IN germ,
especially the treatment of the British Empire
having IT'S true centre of gravity in tie far East, the
of the Indian Army for cOuquests to be
made Western ASIA the acquisition Of the Lee
YauIne coast for Great Britain, the active alliance
between the British power and tho MOhaIumedan
PuWcr-and last not least, the gotting nd 10
great extent at least, 10y the help of Indian lover
age, of the embarrassment Ol tho Chambers For
the last eight months at least, our policy has eyI-
IDENTIFY been borrowed from " "IanCred." Ihe
monarch, for anything We know, has been &" mague-
tIZed." fine Cabinet assarcdly have been magne-
tIzed. Lord Derby and Lord CarnarYon have been
treated much tho Emr IN "IanCred' would
have treated Aberdeen and Sir Pcel'-Ihrown
aside as too "TlNGs" An Oriental policy
has been inaugunted. The possession of India
has been made the origin OF new start IN British
history From first last, Parliament has been
completely ignored, and the future determined Tor
us without even sounding ITS wishes, much less ask
ing It's viii. How this marvellous vision has boen
translated from the dream OF the widest of rhOdO-
mOntade aud romance writers into the accepted
policy of the stOidest and most practiCai-minded Of
alt European States is question, to our minds
rather for the philosophy of magnetism to deter
mine than lOr any strictly political explanation.
