Review for October

H. NJ. Hyndma in the North American
Review for October.
1t is commonplace to say that hun
dred years is a short period in the life
of nation, yet few perhaps reflect how
short it really is. A man of 70 in this
year 1SS2-and nowadays our English
statesmen are, so to say, in their "teens"
at 50-might have conversed as youth
of Is with his father, who, if he had then
attained likewise three score and ten
years, could retain clear personal re-
membrance of the events of the Ameri-
can War of Independence, and must
have PASSED through the era of the
French Revolution in the prime of man
hood. Thus considerably less than two
ordinary lives carry us back to a date
which, in certain respects, social and
economical, seems as remote as ancient
history. 1t needs an effort of the imag-
ination to recall what England was in
1882. Nevertheless, those who have
studied the years Immediately preceding
the great war with France know we'll
that at that time the opinions of educa-
ted men were to large extent in ad-
vance politically Of what they are to. day.
The writings Oft homas Paine, Priestly,
Horne, locke, Thomas Spence, of New
castle, the speeches Of the elder Pitt,
Burke, Fox, She ridan, and Col. Barre,
to say nothing of the crowd of pamphle-
teers who in one way or another reflect
ed the ideas of Rousseau and Voltaire
and the general tone of the working
classes in their ordinary talk, all shad-
owed forth political movement in Eng
land not very WI Iely different in it's OBJ
jects from that V. lich wrought so great
change in France. A hundred years ago
the duke of Richmond fathered bill in
favor of universal suffrage and annual
parllaments, and man was tried for
high treason because he agitated for a
national convention. It is certain that
the mass of EngIishmen. so far as they
could give expression to their opinion, full
ly sympathized with the early phases of
the attack upon the ancient regime in
France, and would gladly have followed
up the policy so successfully begun in
America and carried on by the French
in the direction of complete enfran-
chisement of the people. Yet here we
are to-day without reforms admitted to
be necessary by Lord Chatham, and
considered with a view to bringing them
forward from Tory point of view by
his reactionary son.

France and Madagascar.

The French, who since their defeat in
1870 have paid great attention to colo
0iol extension and have annexed Tunis,
Tenquin, and the New Heprides, are be-
GeveG to be provoking war
in Madagascar. Their consul
there, M. .Baudais, has so irri-
ted the queen that she has sent an EN-
bassy to Europe to complain, but the
consul refuses to allow it to leave If
the French government is bent on col
onies, Madagascar is most tempting
prize, as it is twice as large as Britain,
CONTAINS most fertile provinces OF vary
ing climates, good rivers, and fine har-
bors, and is full of minerals 1t is,
however, great pity that any European
power should interfere in the island, for
the Hovas, the dominant race, tawny
people, apparently Polynesian, exhibit a
marked tendency to develop an original
civilization; and as they would resist the
invaders, the French would be com
PEELED to rely on the Negritos, decid-
eddy inferior people. 1t is possible,
however, that the French government
may think the project of which the con-
sui is suspected a little too large. Queen
Ranavalona, person of remarkable en-
ergy, has 10000 fair troops, the coast
districts of the island are very unhealthy,
and profitable conquest would occu ~
at least $4,000 men.
