ENGLAND'S RESOURCES.
Sir Richard Temple Regards Them
as Equal to Any Emergency.


In the June number of The North
American Review the Right Hon. Sir
Richard Temple, formerly governor Of
Bombay, gives Il most impressive ac-
count of the vast possessions and the
numerous points of vantage held by
Great Britain in Asia, illustrating the
means by which she exercises practi-
cal domination over a large part of
that continent. Sir Richard points
out also how certain recent movements
oil some of the European powers, which
have revealed purpose of challenging
or weakening her position there, i'm
pose upon her the necessity of n policy
Of IvatchfulneSs. Her resources he re-
CARDS as equal to any emergency. He
says:
Whether the present is Il fitting time
for other powers to try any contests
with Britain is a question for them to
determine. Britain is at the acme of
her puissance. Never has she dis
played such resourcefulness as she has
recently displayed in South Africa, and
yet her resources are very far from
exhaustion. Indeed they have not even
vet been adequately called forth. She
is still ready to meet any combination
that could reasonably be anticipated,
and if the present war shall be speed
lily terminated then she will have forces
available in n strength never before
equaled in all her eventful history. She
can afford to regard other nations quite
complacently, whatever they may say,
realizing what her rights are through
out the world and knowing well how
to guard them
