Fbom the elections of Great Britain op to the latest dates, it appears-evident that a change in the Government it impending. Lord Beaconsfield, np to a certain point in hit career, carried the hearts of the people with him by his daring attitude towards other European nationalities on whom he bad any spleen to rent, or whom he considered as encroachiag too viv.dk on the national dignity. But this doubtless apparent heroiim soon turned into right
down Jingoism, and henceforth the Tory Government gradually grew less in the estimation of the public. At the time, when Beaconsfieli was evading conflicts with European powers, he was not at all backward in sending the forces of England to engage in sanguinary struggles with barbaric peoples. Whether the wars in Afghanistan and Zululand were justifiable is doubtful, but they have served to undermine the rock on which the Tory Government stood.
