LONDON Truth, Henry Labouch

LONDON Truth, Henry Labouch-
ere's paper, is very evidently of the
opinion that we are the people. He
says in it: lin many ways the
United States have educated the
w0rld in politics, and l, for one, do
not hesitate to say that their scheme
OF government is the best that has
ever been established by = nation.
But in nothing do we owe more to
the Americans than for their having
afforded us the great object lesson of
state pursuing the even current of
its way without that meddling in the
affairs of other states which has been
the bane OF European powers. Here
we have a country rich. powerful. in
dustrial, and commercial, yet never
troubling itself with what happens
outside it's frontiers; or annexing for
eign lands on the plea of philan-
throphy. or on the ground that in
some centuries its area viii be
too small for its d. population, or in
order to create markets for its goods.
And what is the result? No one

States, or of picking a quarrel with
them. =
