have taken generations to quell. The
| EmperOr of the French invited us to
ioip in recognizing the South and
breaking the blockade. The Tory
party. as a rule, were in favor of the
South. Lord Palmerston, with a good
many of his colleagues-nOtably Mr.:
Gladstone, with his genius for political
blundering-was VIGOROUSLY willing to
take action. A word from Dlsraell
would have turned the scale and given
an overwhelming majority in favor
of intervention. 1t must be remem-
bered, to the credit of Disraeli, that
that word was eve spoken. He
advised and insisted that the Amerl-
cans must be left to shape their own
destiny in their own way.
The PaImerston Cabinet blundered
into letting, the Alabama escape, and
Mr.. Gladstone's speech in support of
Jefferson Davis ranked for years in
the minds of the Americans. When
r%etributiOn overlook Mr.. Gladstone as
Premier, in the shape of increasingly
urgent demands for Compensation from
the other side of the Atlantic, it was
to the wise and patriotic support of
the leader of the opposition, that Mr..
Gladstone was indebted for being ex-
tricated without a war, from trouble
which he had mainly brought upon
himself by his rash meddling and
muddling. Not merely was moral
support given to Mr.. Gladstone in
Parliament, but one of Disraelis most
important colleagues, Sir Stafford
NOrthcOte, was associated with Mr.
GladstOne's own ENJOYS in the work OF
~pacification, obviously for the purpose
of strengthening his hands and assur-
ing him beforehand of a free course,
u~nfettered by the risk of parliamentary
Censure.
The Reform Act of 1862, was Dis
raeli's foremost achievement in legis
lation. The principle of payment of
rates being the qualification for voting
was his own, and in the details of the
measure he defeated the opposition by
large m~ajorities. What the essential
results of these democratic measures
may be (the Act of 1867 was followed
in 1884 by applying Disraeli's principle
to the counties) no one can fOretell.
Our position is totally different from
the state of things in America. There,
power is divided and sub-divided
among institutions which all act as
checks upon one another, and under
PO11d1Uy VI OuS1 dCGS OGL1S u0C1d10u
null and void, if they exceed their
powers. Here, absolute and unlimited
power is vested in the constituencies
and in the majority of their representa-
tives. There is no limit to the power
of Parliament in this country; and the
Cabinet, which is practically a COM
mittee of that majority, yields a more
absolute authority than is reposed in
an America President, Senate and
House of Representatives all put to-
gether.
AS the result of a long career of con-
slant struggle amid jealousies, ami
mosities, and fierce, personal and po-
litical rivalry, is no small thing to
obtain from a somewhat critical and
adverse ~biOgrapher such a Judgment
as Mr.. FrOude passes upon Disraeli:
I'm public or private he had lever
done a dishcnorable action, he had
disarmed hatred, and never lost a per-
sonal friend. The greatest of his an
tagonists admitted that when he struck
hardest he had not struck in NAL

LITERARY.
FROUDE'S LORD BEACONSFIEED.

FROUDE y LORD BEACONSFlEED.
We need hardly say this is not the
life of Lord Beaconsfield for which the
world has been waiting. It is a short
biography of him by Mr.. Froude, the
first of a series which is to include the
whole list of nine Prime Ministers of
Queen Victoria, whether living or
dead. There is very little in it which
is new, and that little is of no great in
terest or importance, as affecting the
life of Disraeli. At the same time we
do not wish to u~ndervalue the sketch.
1t is ably and cOnscientiOusly done,
and it's author, with his devotion to all
things Carlylese, has evidently taken
the Life of Sterling for his model. We
should say it is the work of a man who
has had considerable and lifelong
p~rejudices, derived from Carlyle,
against the subject of his memoir, but
who, as he warmed to his work, has
gained greater insight into Disraeli's
marvellous career, and into the finer
points of his character, and has striven
in a pOsthumOus Justice to do honor to
his memory. It is satisfactory to see
how, as the clouds of contemporary
d]etractiOn and vituperation roll away,
his career and character during his
long parliamentary leadership, vindi-
cate to the eyes of posterity the CON
fdence which the sovereign, Parlia-
ment, and the nation eventually re-
posed in him, and the devotion which
his colleagues uniformly paid to him.
DlsraelIs literary position was made,
and he was already a prominent poll
tician, when he entered the House of
Commons in 1887. Not long after his
entrance into Parliament, a fortunate
marriage rescued him from financial
embarrassment, and after the catastro-
phe of self-lOve in his maiden speech.
he soon made solid ogr in the
estimation of the House, and ACQUIRED
that intimate knowledge of its temper
and disposition, which was the founda-
ton of his fortune.
For th1rty-ive eventful years Dis
raeli led the Tory party-the longest
political leadership recorded in parlia-
mentary history. On this period Mr..
FrOude is unable to throw any new
light, and declines to follow DisraelTs
action with minuteness. This, in fact.
can only be done, afterth papers con
hded to Lord ROwtOn shall have seen
the light.
Perhaps the greatest achievement of
that personal ascendancy, which Dis
raeli derived from his genius and in
sigh. into surrounding circumstances
and their probable consequences. in
dependently of the numerical weight
Of his parliamentary following, was
u nOn-lnterventiOn in the American
Civil War. Had we taken part in it.
