1'hcre is no doubt a grouudnork of truth ii

tadslonc allows no man to dispute wltb bin :
Some would never have the pluck t
.ttempt it , no matter what emergency mlgb

as made them what they are and can easlli
nmake them. Morlev would doubtless stain

They do not agree on tbe labor question !

provoke n great dlflsrence of opinion. Who

which , in private , he has opposed. Th :
may seem very immoral , but governman * ,
could not oe named on unless those -wb
compose them knew how to give way.
Gladstone in his early d ys resigned froi
iir Robert Peel's ministry because he-woul
not vield on eocleMasticul points , but has u' '
ivays adapted himself to circumstances skill
fully since then.
Down to the last moment nobody woul
believe that Chamberlain meant to resign i
> > G over the home rule bill. Perhaps I
might not have done so if ha bud cared ver
much for tbo office which he happened l
hold at the time.
Gladstone will not be scared out of pn
ducing home rule , und will leave Rosebei
to xvrestlc with the British public over tt
Uganda bill. He Is the man to deal with U
missionary societies.

some other remedy must be found. B
ijiotallism is the fjvorlte spscific , usneciull

Gladstone at a cabinet council oa the 27tb in
structed Lord Kosebsry to pat at the bottom
of the real intentions of tbe Gorman govern
ment.
Tuc solo object of Germany is to make up
for tbo Deficiency in tbo Austrian ana Ital
ian forces , tbo financial condition of thosu
countries not permuting them to increase
tbeir armies , as members of tbe triple ullt-
anoe. Germany : s , therefore , obliged to
make tbe effort herself , as it is Impossible
for ber allies to do anything
Nevertheless the tendency is b'ad. The
bourses arc weak and ill at caw. This 1
especially the case In France. In addition
to the fears she has of the causes for i he in
crease in tbo German army , she has her OWR *
difficulties to contend with. Tbo strike at
Carmaux is a proof of tbo weakness of that
government. The country foals that it l
as tmdlv governed as before the Boulunirlst
explosion. It wants a change.
