The possibilities of the outlook for the
British empire were never~darker. In
the old days when British statesmen
were}ess polite than they are now. there
would have been war with either Russia,
France or Germany, IL they had done the
things which are being done now by the
frst. in Afghanisian, the second in China.
and by the latter in Africa. None Of the
old admirals would have witnessed in
silence the aggressive actions which have
been committed By the French and Ger
man vessels during the last few months.
Perhaps it IS good thing that British
officers in these days are as discreet as
they are valiant; but the frequent insults
which they are compelled TO accept, tend
rather to take the pluck out Of their
soldiers and sailors; and nothing is more
demoralizing in a military sense. than for
men to feel, after undergoing great hard
ships and achieving great victories. that
they are eventually TO c~vacuate the posi-
tons they have won.
Much Of the trouble in the Soudan has
arisen from the foolish announcement Of
Gladstone, that he did not intend to keep
the British forces there after the release
Of Gordon. This declaration has made it
very awkard for tribes which have desired
10 assist the British officers. They felt
that making friends with the English
might in the neal future cost them their
lives and property; whereas. if they had
the assurance that the British forces
would remain among them to administer
their affairs, they would have been faith
ful allies and friends. The result is before
Us. The false prophet has succeeded in
alternating many Of the tribes heretofore
allies Of the British, and to-day the
Mahdi is the victor at the head Of G0,0O0
Arab warriors; Gen. Gordon is killed or a
prisoner, and the whole Of Great Britain
in anguish over the defeat,
1t appears As if the English empire
we've d%rifiing into a great war in many Of
ifs foreign possessions. as well as into
great political changes at home The
meeting Of parliament next month will be
full Of new interest, more particularly as
il is known that a general election is
rapidly approaching. Gladstone's minis
Try is nearing the end; will his successor
be able to cope with the manifold difficult
ties in the British empires path?

the grazing lands, as proposed by a few Of
our wealthy stock growers, and the estab-

will not be speedily acted on by congress,
