The Times.

The enquste just now going on in Russia relative to the Bismarck letter forgery is likely to complicate a greater num- ber of persons than was at first appre- hended. The investigation has exonerated the Orleanists. The Czar is using all his energy to get atthe bottom of the affair, assuring the Chancellor at the same time that the evidences of Russian hostility were traceable to these documents only, and that Russia entertained the most friendly feel- ng tothe German Empire. But whilst the Czar and the Emperor are protesting their love the one for the other, and grow- ing eloquent over tle friendliness of their subjects, a grand movement of mobilization of Russian troops is taking place upon the German and Austrian frontiers; and wily old Bismarck, not ‘‘ putting his trust in Princes,” in conjunction with the Emperor Joseph, is strengthening every point o' defence, and holding the soldiery of the two allied powers ready for the word “‘go.” True, the best guarantee of peace is to be always prepared for war; but it really looks like a brush over there in Europe just now. The Bulgarian difliculty has sunk into insignificance in the presence of such an aspect of affairs as the present

ery, a bas Grevy (down with Grevy) ringing coutuuailly in his ears, he relinquished his oftice, suceumbed tothe inevitable. "Tis hard to hold out against truth. As Burns said :—

‘* Facts are chiels that winna ding,

An’ cannot be disputed.”

Grevy does not even leave the heritage of a great name behind him. Purely and simply he was the tool of his ministry, and prepared to sign his name to any legisla- tion, no matter how nefarious, brought be- tore him. He will be remembered most in history as the father-in-law of M. Wilson. But ail the trouble is not overin France with the choice of a President. Already the cable brings news of disaffections and political schism. This unfortunate country will always bein hot water until she re- turns to a moderate monarchical form of government, as best suited to the character of her subjects. ¥*

In the Republic to the south of us, the event of absorbing interest is President Cleveland’s message to Congress, which advocates a cutting down of governmental resources by a reduction of taxation, and a judicious administration of the enormous surplus in the Treasury vaults at Washing- ton. Few countries have the same dis- order to complain of as that the Prseident looks upon as about to result fatally if not seen to atonce. One would think it a matter of simple justice as well as expe- diency to reduce taxation, whether direct or indirect, tothe bare necessary for a decent and competent ailministration of the government of the country. Politicians and pai'tizens are hard at work making the President preach the doctrine of their choice, be it Free Trade: or Protection, and it is wonderful what constructioa some journais put upon the Message. To our mind it bears the imprint of neither party ; it is coaceived in the interests of the entire nation, and as well as being a nine days’ wonder, wili, we believe, be followed by beneficial legislation.

The very undignified spectacle of a pro- minent member of the Executive of Great Britain entering the cell of the imprisoned patriot, William O’Brien, and committing the petty larceny of his clothes after he had received a semi-officiai guarantee against any such indignity, has furnisheda new evidence of the measures to which the pre- sent sorry administration of Salisbury and Balfour can stoop. The affair was to have been a private one ; but like everything in connection with Irish matters, it soon got bruited abroad ; and what Mr. Balfour con- sidered a smart trick has been condemned by the werld as one of the shabbiest acts of a shabby administration. Mr. O'Brien's imprisonment and subsequent treatment is an outrage: the civilized world has declared it to be such, and for such and for such acts alone is the present English govern- ment likely to give any trouble to the his- torian of the future. The privileges and immunities of political prisoners have been rudely disregarded to satisfy a personal

hatred of Mr. Balfour for Mr. O’Brien, whom he evidently intended to do to the death at Tullamore. But Mr. O’Brien will prove a lively corpse to him yet, and he is awakening to the full knowledge of the the truth, and consequently has asked his uncle to put Mr. Smith aside and_ let him lead the House this winter. Whatever position he is plaeed in his contemptible aiministration of the Coercion Act in Ire- land will handicap and harass him. Before relinquishing the keys of the Castle, how.

ever, he has given orders for another on- slaught on the people’srepresentatives, their liberties and their press. The cable brings the news of ex-Lord Mayor Sullivan's ar- rest and incarceration, and that of Timothy Harrington, M. P. Even the Tory papers of any independence have denied in no uncertain language the arrest of Mr. Sulli- van, whom they declare a gentleman, such as the realm has few others. Who may be the next victim nobody but Balfour knows, but it is self-evident that in their attempt to construct the nationalism of Lreland, the Salisbury Government will be ‘as successful as was Dame Partington in sweeping out the Atlantic with her broom. +

There are few men in this world without astrongalloy of vanity. Freedom from this failing has hitherto been regarded as a characteristic of greatness. All reputed greatness, however, can scarcely be defend- ed upon this point. Disraeli achieved sig- nal success in British politics, and his grave is the resting place of one of England's greatest statesmen. But Disraeli was as vain as a peacock. In his correspondence to his sister more than anywhere else, per- haps, this weakness is observable. He is congratulated on one of his books or letters, noticed by Peel or some of the leading statesmen, spoken of as likely to succeed in oratory, invited into sociefy, and immedi- ately his satisfaction is put on paper, and his excellent qualities dilated upon by himself. He is not only. vain of his ac- quaintance, but his dress and carriage are matters upon which he looks for approval. In court dress he imagines himself a real Charles II. He poses for a being a little beyond the greatest perfection aimed at by anyone prior to his time; and even on the first day of his entrance into Parliament writes to his sister that he is fully satistied of his superior ability over any member of the House. He does, just by way of con- contrast, admit that his maiden speech was a failure, but true to his instinct he re- deems himself by assuring his dear sister that the fault was somebody's else. ‘It was like my debut at Aylesbury,’=he writes, ‘* and perhaps in that sense may be auspi- cious of ultimate triumph in the same scene. I fought through all with undaunt- ed pluck and unruffled temper, made occa- sionally good hits when there was silence, and finished with spirit when I found a formal display was ineffectual.” In these letters he speaks of his great rival, Glad- stone, in whose character there is certainly no place for selt-adulation, and remember- ing O’Connell’s having declared him “ the lineal descendant of the impenitent thief,” the Liberator is mentioned with little show of friendship in these memoirs; and hig at- tempts to redress Irish grievances branded as high treason. In a word, he thinks ‘**there has been nothing as bad as O’Con- nell~sinee--Robespierre.” And still the name of the great Irish tribine will live when even such names as Beaconsfield are long forgotten.

Things look blue for those who expected much from the Fishery Commission, now sitting at Ottawa. Although nothing is known of the proceedings, the public has gotten hold of the idea that all possibility of acomplete adjustment of the difficulties between the two countries by the present Commissioners is at present precluded. Now the very opposition press that ex- horted Sir Charles Tupper to hold out strong for Canadian rights, are attributing to his stiff-neckedness the failure of the negotiations, and accusing Sir John of re- fusing to act, that/he might have an oppor- tunity of sacrificing Sir Charles, whose ‘‘ growing importance” he is jealous of. ‘Twill be time enough to talk when some- thing of the result of the Commission is known. But somehow or other we have, like Mrs. McComber, a presentiment that nothing very satisfactory is to be the out- come of the present negotiations.

It ‘is pleasing to note that the Whelan Memorial Committee have been formed,and that one of its members at least is in favor of a Coles and Whelan monument erected before the Parliament Building. Let us hope that the committee wiil place the pro- ject on a proper footing, or throw up their brief. Once they decide upon a modus agendi the monument is sure to come.
