No very startling intelligence with re Spect to the actual War is contained incur despatches to Day and their entire interest centres in the reply of lord Derby to the russian circular accompanying Tho Declara Tion of War against Turkey and the debate in parliament upon or. Gladstone s resolutions. Respecting Tho former we can but come to the conclusion that having taken ample time to Framo this expression of their views Tho British government have at Hist stated in Plain Torng their opinion of the russian policy diplomatic considerations having hitherto restrained them from speak ing their minds. When Thero is such very Plain speaking Between Tho governments of nations naturally jealous of each other s Power and influence in Tho East something More emphatic than words May to shortly expected. In fact there is every Indica Tion that England will soon take such action As will elicit a declaration of War from Russia. The latter has a Licet in China which it is surmised May have been ordered to enter the Blok sea by any of Tho canal. Tho Neutral character of such a Highway goes for mighty Little when it is required for the purposes of a belligerent. Accordingly As Tho Khedive might Faelz unequal to the task of repelling the russian Fleet British interference May be come Abs Lutcy necessary. It is whispered thata Force of men is already being prepared to encounter this emergency 000 to be sent from England and a like number from India. The occupation of the suck canal by Russia would be an almost fatal blow at British supremacy in Asia. It will therefore have to be defended at any Cost. The debate on or. Gladstone s resolutions seems to have been unusually exciting More particularly because it has developed the dissensions Long existing in Tho Liberal party. What Tho amendment of or. Trevelyan Liberal May have been to arc not inform cd but it seems or. Gladstone was Willim to accept it. He also offered to drop those of his resolutions which declare that the Porte has no moral or material claim to Tho support of the British Crown and that though War has actually begun England s influence should be employed in Tho councils of Europe for the effectual development of Liberty and local self government in the disturbed provinces. Notwithstanding the withdrawal of these resolutions Tho remain Der can be viewed in no other Light than As a vote of censure on Tho government. In giving notice that he would move Thorn or Gladstone distinctly Sta de that he acted solely on his own responsibility it is Well that to made this declaration for last night in parliament the Marquis of of Arlington who was chosen Leader of the Liberal party on or. Gladstone s retirement plainly ii timoted that the resolutions were not sup ported by the bulk of Tho opposition. Sir ii. D. Wolff and Tho Jit. Hon. Or. Cross Are Bot i conservatives. To the two meetings reported to have been held in Tho Metropolis we Are inclined to Accord Little weight. When to find the Liberal party prepared to split up rather than Embarrass the government during an important crisis it May be concluded that Public opinion in England is really alarmed at the action of Lussia and will support the ministry in going to War if Cire Mstan cos demand it. The replies of Tho minis ters on Tho resumption of the debate to night will Manifest their policy As they May now be expected to state what they really think of the designs of Lussia. Most observers of men and things in this Community must to struck with Tho greater importance usually attached to Tho Circum stance of who does or attempts to do any Public thing than to Tho circumstance it is done. Not a tithe of the opposition encountered by our Public men is traceable to any other cause than jealousy whether found in an agricultural society Tho City school Board Tho City Council the Provin Cial legislature Tho Dominion parliament or elsewhere. Tho immediate occurrence that has suggested these observations is Tho treatment received by a motion of Aid. Allo Way in Tho City Council inviting lion. Or. Mackenzie to visit Manitoba with Tho Iov error general. Certainly Tho conduct of some of those gentlemen is rather hard to reconcile with Tho loud lamentations Hoy Are known to have Boon guilty of at Somo of those mass meetings.1 for which Winnipeg is or. Mackenzie had not seen this country for himself. Notwithstanding Tho Peculiar characteristic of our people Al. Ready referred to and Tho fact that pome members of the City Council Are Strong partisans to could have hoped that there would not have Boon a breath of opposition to Tho motion. It was opposed however and so strongly opposed that Tho promoter with Drew it. The excuse offered by some Alder men that they had no official intimation that Tho governor general intended visiting this province was simply puerile. If Tho City Council expect anything official in that connection to think they Over estimate their importance far enough and moreover most people who want something More official than newspaper statements stand a first class Chance of being disappointed. Of All Tho aldermen who resisted motion perhaps the Only one that gave the real Rea son for his individual conduct was he who intimated that Mich a motion should have been left for him to make because to was Tho Best fitted and Tho in to competent and whether he is Tho More to be admired for his Candor or to be pitied for his or whelming is a Ime Stion. At any rate it is much to to regretted the the motion had not been passed unanimously and it is to to hoped that Aid. Alloway will again put it on the boards. .
