Thu proverb "that foola and children ahould
never ace half done work," lias n great ileal of
truth in it if applied to tho present condition
of political and international affairs in Kastern
Huropc and Asia. After tho aignature of the
lieaty of lltilin it was at once concluded hy an
overwhelming majority of the people compos
ing vnrioiia rmtiona of the earth, that trouble
was over and place insured for an indefinite
period, lireetingi and ovations of tho most
enthusiastic character awaited the successful
diplomatitta; presentations nn I tutunor.i.ils
weru showered upon thtm.and the highest hon
ors that their sovereign could u.nfer were also
bestowed. Of all these they were, no doubt,
well worthy m recognization of the acrvicea
they had rendered nud tho success attending
them, We suspect, however, that nono knew
an well as Jtcaconllcld and his colleague did,
that their arduous work was only beginning and
that tho terms of the general treaty
ns well as those of tho apeci.il one with Turkey,
conceding the protectorate of Cyprus and Aaia
Minor to Jlritaiu, wero but a atep to guard
their country's interests and to secure from at
tack their invaluablu Hast India jioaseiiiuii,
threatened ns they have alwnys been by the

Tho same headlong way of jumping nt hasty
conclusions ia again indulged in, and many who
wuru loudest in applauding the success of thu
policy puraued by thu llritish lepresenativea at

had been caught, and proposed to produce the
right man if granted time. A requisition was
issued for tho "right man" who, it was alleged,
was in San Francisco, and now that tho time
