Way, we ask, are these favors showered upon Normand. Campbell? If he deserves well at the hands of Grit politicians let’ him be rewarded as liberally as their generosity inay suggest. But we protest against doing so at the expense of the tax-payers of this Province by paying him ten times as much as other clerks receive.

We have by no means done with this sub- ; ject, but we must conclude this article with |one word more.

It has been stated that we have received our information as to the workings of this otlice from Deacon Crabbe. This is not the cise. We have held nocommunicat.on with him direct or indirect. We will go further and unhesitatingly state that we regard him as a living enbodimeit of laziness and in- competence, only second to Norman J. Campbell himself.

Replying to a recent article of the Lon- don Stanted, which declared that the sword would have to be drawn unless Ruas- sia made concessions, the Agence Russe says that the British Government has de- clared that it would only «make war on be- half of British interests. Russia has res- pected and _ satisfied these interests, therefore either the Standard is misin- formed, or England will act in opposition to her formal declaration. As regards con- cessions, the European C.2binets know that Kussia is resolved to mairtain the essential results of the war. She will always show herself <isposed to accept every means of reconciling the inviolability of those results with the interests of third parties; but threats and military preparations are bad means of attaining a peaceful understand-

Loxpon, March 2. It is stated in the lobbies of Parliament that the ordinary Estimates for 1878, to be published to-morrow, show an increase of £35,000, one-half of which is for the trans- portation of troops. The Estimates show that itis the intention to commence four first-class iron-clads, complete four iron- clads, twenty-eight corvettes and gun-boats, and thirty torpedo boats. The above in- crease is exclusive of a portion of the vote of £6,000,000 which has been devoted te the navy. Lonpon, March 2.
