THE IMPERIAL STATESMAN.

or Mr. Chamberlain as an Imperiallst II Is too

ity Much might be said In expectation. but II
would not be convincing. At any rate, his ad-
ministratlon OF the Colonial Office is an interest
ing experiment. For he is even yet new man.
and that office Is Of all perhaps a this time the
most important. Certainly It's dutos are the most
intricate and exacting. The Colonial Minister
must be H. shrewd diplomat. He must b.
pert On finance tariff. commerce. manufactures.
He must understand all considerations and preju-
dice3 Of race and creed, and be able to manipulate
them with unfailing tact. The army and navy
must be his especial care. for the Issues OF peace
and war are in his hands. Since. indeed. the Brit
ish Empire s chiefly q Colonial Empire he Is pre-
emincntly the Imperial Minister.

and It is a new departure that he Is endeavoring
to effect In his administration OF IT, He is doing.

OF all It's parts the smallest and most remote,
and to bind them all more closely and more indls-

The programme is ambitious one 1t Is an

JUDAS"

Passing by many interesting matters Of detail
Parliament and at the Board Of Trade we come
to the momentous events OF 1885 which dis
rupted the Liberal party and made Mr.. Cham
berlain "the best hated in England" and
also the most potent figure In British politics
The common reproach against him has been that
he entered Mr.. Gladstone's first Home Rule Cabi-
net as professed supporter OF Home Rule but
with the deliberate intention Of betraylng the
cause and wrecking the Government. Hence
the epithet Of Judas" 80 freely flung at him
by his political foes. OF course no adequately
informed person now believes that scandalous
story. which was promptly repudiated and con-
demned by Mr.. Gladstone himself 1t may be
WELL however, to repeat once the simple
facts Of that memorable case
Both parties la 1885 coquetted with the Irish
when-and because--it was seen that only
through an Irish alliance could either secure a
stable majority. Exactly what negotiations oc-
CURED between Mr.. Gladstone and Mr. John Nor
ley, on the one hand and Mr.. Parnell. on the
other, may not yet be revealed But they were
effective. The Liberals won. The terms OF the
compact were not known in advance But Mr.
Chamberlain. In common with nearly all the
Liberal party. expected they would prove salts
factory. He had. at any rate sufficient con-
ndence In Mr.. Gladstone to intrust to him the
leadership OF the Government and power to
formulate bill for the better administration of

IN THE CABINET.

There Is little question that this caucus or ma
chine contributed largely to the Overwhelming
success OF the Liberal party in 1880. and that fact
as well Ala others prompted Mr. Gladstone TO give
Mr. Chamberlain a place in the Cabinet. This
was almost an unprecedented promotion for 50
young a man and for one who only three or four
years before had scarcely been known outside OF
his own town Mr. Chamberlain was made Presl-
dent of the Board of Trade, place for which his
practical business instincts and methods admira-
bly, fitted him. But his energies were by no means
confined to it. He made himself felt Throughout
the entire Government.
The preceding Conservative Cabinet had been
pursuing forward policy in foreign affairs. and
had involved the Empire in all sorts Of compca-
tons in various parts Of the world. 1t fell TO the
lot of the Liberal Government to settle these az
fairs as best It could and In this ungrateful task
Mr. Chamberlain played his full part. He APP
proved the withdrawal from Afghanistan. md
the Pretoria Convention by which the Transvaal
was surrendered to Boe- control. Doubtless he
made record at that time which contrasts
strangely with his Imperial policy of the present
day Yet he never went to such an extreme OF
non-reelstance az did John Bright. He never ac-
cepted In full the peace al any price" dogma or
the latter-day Manchester school So far as he
was a follower Of Golden. he bore in mind that
Golden was. OF all men, one Of the strongest ad-
vocates Of making and keeping the British Navy
the most powerful in the world There never was
a more rampant lingo In that respect than Cob
den and Mr. Chamberlain was so true disciple or
him that Bright declared him 10 be the only
Jngo In the Cabinet"

Lord Harrington was n Wing. who wanted 10

was also gifted with a confident optimism-a
marked characteristic Of his whole career which
increasingly persuaded him that the march -
events was surely making for his advantage and
for tho ultimate success OF his cause.
In this he was not mistaken. Day by day the
leadership OF Lord Harrington declined and that
OF Mr. Chamberlain increased In popularity AMI

him into closer and frlcndllcr relations with the

him for an actual coalition with that party.
