which will doubtless attend the present war. As however the British Govern- meat is arowedly acting in concert with others less inclined to make themselves
ridiculous in Oriental oves, we shall pro- bably be apated the usual amount of gue- dy-goody twaddle which the home-keep- ing philanthropist is apt to dispense when other people come to blows. European interference or non-interference will almost certainly depend upon the view takon as to which best serves European intaresta. And to our mind the arg ments in favour of the latter course far outweigh those in favour of the former. Although our action in aiding the Chinese Government to suppress the Taiping rebellion was, in the opinion of many qualified judges, a complete mis- well understand the motives which induced Sir Frederick Bruce to urge that policy spon the British Cabinet. We had forced the Chinese to concede certain points by treaty, and this treaty could only be carried into effect by a central power sufficiently strong to compel partial if not satira obedience in the provinces.
