We are no apologists for the boast ful"spirit of national scif-will. We have no sympathy with the desire to ride dem other nations. But if anything is clear, it is that Enghelimen have a talent for goreraing Oriental peoples of different raves and steeds without pressing to severely on their social freedom, nad that while we are thus: use to them, we find our work there increase our own bepefulness and our capacity for the molding of our own. Isture. Ta is too much to entreat Mr. Gladstone to think twice before assisting his humoured name with a paliny, which, we believe to be both narrow and injuriose, and which, in any case, will certainly associath him with unpopular vions which he is hardly likely ever greatly to advance, while he may, by advo sating them, be depriving the Empire of possible resource in the confidence which Liberals still feel in the political genius of his
