Abstract

England - Tory Mismanagement

The article presents information about various political developments taking place in Great Britain. British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli is trying the patience both of the House of Commons and of the country at large by his eccentric conduct of public business. He has thought fit to take up the role of former British President Viscount Palmerston, but, up to the present time, with only partial success-his sardonic appearance, his enigmatic turn for mysterious surprises and his unaffected satire being incongruous elements in a make-up of one whom England delighted to reverence as "jolly old Pam." Disraeli must be grateful that he is not confronted with a similar phenomenon in the House of Commons. If anything could perturb his composure it would be the continual presence of such a dumb witness of his eccentricities, winking in silent criticism at his strange maneuvers.
