" A truer patriot never breathed Er>g« lish air. Whether it has been the strengthening of the navy, the defeat of the Channel tunnel, the development of the Volunteers, the cheapening of postage over sea, or the advocacy of Imperial Federation, you could always count upon the Cardinal." It is Mr Stead's description of Cardinal Manning which was repubhshed very widely during January, after the Cardinal's death. Sir Edwin Arnold says :— "England has no desires. England has all she wishes. India always will be ours. Two men will always oppose war over that country — the Czar of Eussia and the Prime Minister of England, whoever he may be. Still, just such a war is inevit* able, although it may not come for many, many years. When, from unavoidable causes, those countries come in conflict the Romanoff dynasty will be wiped away forever. Every Russian throat east of the Caspian will be cut and the Khanates will reign once more in Asia. The remnants of the retreating Russian Array will face at home a revolution which will overthrow the reigning house. England need have no fear. Understand that there is no truth in the talk of our small army. It is the largest in tke world. We can place in the field more than 2,000,000 men."
