The organization of q strong Blaine club
ct Washington is indicative of purpose on
the part of that statesman and his friends to
press his claims to the Presidency without

has much to fear, for, especially in the
West, Mr.. Blaine has strong following.
The further statement that Sherman will
join his forces with those of Blaine in case
he fails to secure predominating part of
the convention is indicative of the fact that
Grant will not have walk-over in the race.

BEACONSFIELD'S POLICY.

1t IS very evident that tue DeaCousneio
government in Great Britain has the full
confidence and approval of the people. Sew
eral elections have been held recently to fill
vacant seats in parliament, and in all of
them the conservative party has not only
maintained its own but made important
gains. In Liverpool and Southwark, both
of which constituencies have all along been
represented by liberal members in the house
of commons, the conservative candidates
have been chosen by decisive maiorities.
That party and its newspaper organs are
very naturally greatly elated, and regard these
elections as indicative of the popular ap
proval of the aggressive policy thus far pur-
sued by the government. This no doubt is
correct.
The English nation is nothing if not ag-
gressive. The people are proud of the in
fluence of their government in the affairs of
Europe and Asia, proud of the extent of
territory embraced in the empire, and proud
of the respect shown them Individually all
over the world. To maintain this pre-emi-
nence they are willing to endure all manner
of hardships. to undertake wars of conquest,
or to take any advantage Of their neighbors.
The peace policy of the Gladstone govern
ment disguised them. A large majority of
the British people were heartily in sympa-
thy with France during her war with Ger
many, and if the government had obeyed
the popular wish and interposed at the prop
ec moment, the conflict might have had
different termination. By neglecting that
and other opportunities to assert its power
as an autocrat in the affairs Of Europe, the
British nation suffered great loss of prestige
and her people felt Inundated. The result
was the return to power of the conservative
party under the leadership of that most ag-
gressive and crafty of statesmen,
Lord Beaconsield. His first effort was
to restore the prestige that had been
lost through the temporizing policy of his
predecessor. The opportunities were not
lacking. The Russo-Tarkish war was
golden one. By constantly menacing in
reference she kept Russia in constant dread
lest the Crimean war would have duplicate
in the result of the conflict then going on.
By means of the treaty of Berlin Beacons-
field not only prevented the extinguishment
of Turkey, but secured for Great Britain the
island of Cyprus and substantial protecto
rate over Asiatic Turkey, while Russia, after
all her expenditure of life and money, was
compelled to be content with a small slice
north of the mouths of the Danube. Bea-
consfeld's policy in Zululand and Aghanis-
tan has been characteristic of the aggressive
ness of his nature, and hattering to the van
ity of the British people. By shrewd d.
plomacy, too, he has placed his government
in commanding position as to European
affairs, SO that no important change can be
made without due consultation with and the
consent of the government he represents.
These facts being manifest, we do not won
der at the endorsement his policy has re-
ceived, for there is nothing that SO fatters
an Englishman as TO know that his govern
ment is potent in influencing the affairs of
other people.
