If, for the sake of selfish gain, we are bound to uphold a political system of which one of the ordinary characteristics is to indulge in brutality beyond conception,' we are clearly justified in indulging in these brutalities our selves, whenever the alternative is the jeopardy of our interests in the 'irrepressible struggle for empire.' But if England would be justified in defending her interests, in the last resort, by brutalities like those of Batak.
