The ncbleuaa made a courtly saiutation
TO the lady and accepted her invitation

l have said that Palmerston understood
his public and played to it with assiduity
and success. The public, however, was by
no means England's best. The Ashburtons.
the Granvilles, and C%larendons were not of
it. The queen and the prince consort EN-
phaslzed their opposition to it, SAYS the
Century. Reformers lige Golden and
Bright did their best to divorce the masses
from it. But insular prejudice was SO strong
and meiodrama proved so popular, that Pal
merston retained his prestige almost without
interruption until the end. Yet he succeeded
in arousing an a%ntagonism to British policy
and in forming an ideal of British aggres-
sion abroad that still obtains upon the con.
tinent and in America.
The fact that there is no other nation
with whose interests our own are SO bound
up is xuite lost sight of in view of popular
prejudice against a policy that men like to
still formed upon the Palmerston model.
The irdisputable fact of the superiority of
English rule to that exercised by France
and Germany over subject nations is but
grudgingly admitted, because since Pal
merston's day men have been able to see
nothing in every new British acquisition but
the brutal bullying of a weaker power.
No higher handed piece of of national ag-
gression has probably been perpetrated
within this century than the recent invasion
OF Madagascar by the French. But the
world at large has proven quite acquiescent.
Had England undertaken such an eopedi-
ton, however, the press of two continents
would have exhausted the Vocabulary of
contumely. Yet no one at all conversant
with colonial history can doubt thac NADIA.
gascar would be a far better place to live
and work in under English than under
French dominion, and that 1t would prove
OF vastle greater value to the civilized world.
England's position today is startlinzly iso-
lated; and a prime factor in her isolation has
been that she has cherished Lord Palmers-
tons ideal of craftsmanship too dearly.

But all that day long, Elma noticed her
