The new German Reichstag was opened to-day. The Emperor's speech was read from the throne. In it be says he is grati- ted at the benevolent disposition the Pope has shuwn towards the Empire. The for- eign policy of the Empire is continually directed to the maintenance of peace with all powers, and especially with Ger- many's neighbors. If the present Reichstag without hesitation or division & UnaAniMoUs expression to the resolve that the nation will put its full strength in full panoply now, and at all times against any attack upon our frontiers such a resolution, even before it was carried out will naturally strengthen the guarantees of peace and re move doubts which the late parliamentary debates may have inspired.

The Washington Star has the follow- ing remarks on the recent seizures. in Alaskan waters:—‘** Although the secretary of state has not yet announced that the British schooners were unlawfully seized

and held, it is learned on very good authority that this will be the outcome of the whole matter, and that proper damages will be paid by this government for the losses by detention. It is under-

stood this is in accordance with an opinion of the Attorney-General, after carefully considering all the court proceedings, which showed that the vessels were catching sea! outside the three-mile line, and were theve- fore well within their rights, according to the construction this government has always insisted upon.”

The- Hamilton Times (Liberal) com- menting upon the result of the recent election, says:—‘* We have gone up Salt Creek for the time being, but no tossing wavelets will prevent us from working steadily for a victory on the first available opportunity.” It would now be in order for some of our own ‘“‘general result still in doubt” cranks to own up.

as follows tothe New York Stu We

have once more entered on a period of pat

liamentary storm. The Speaker, in the | ruling with which all newspaper readers

|

| port Parnell’s amendment the address.

wwe now familiar, has displayed an wacom pre } the possession of a personal temper that

using enmity tothe Parnellites, and

cause the Liberals to question seriously of Mr. Peel position calling for impartial‘ty before all things was a wise one. It is putting it mildly to say that the confidence of the House in Mr. Peel has been seriously shaken by the events that led to the sum- mary closing of the debate.

On the Liberal side of the House thege was no strong objection to the debate on the address being brought to an end, but the gagging of John Dillon, the suppression

whether their choice fora

of the motion respecting jury packing, and |

the total barking of the constitutional juestion, taken altogether, have stirred English Democratic opinion to the pro-

foundest depths. The front bench leaders received Mr. Peel's decision with astonish- ment. One of them speaking to me on the subject stated that unless Mr. Peel receives a distinct warning from the press and the public generally to treat all members with equal consideration, the House will peedily become involved in one of the uvliest questions that can engage its utten- tion, namely, a vote of censure on the Speaker. If Mr. Dillon had not been so summarily put down by the Speaker, but allowed to present the plain facts in his possession, he would have proved beyond a doubt that the jury selected to try him had been shamelessly and maliciously packed and that a fair verdict was absolutely im- possible. The Speaker may have been ig- norant of this, but the government were well aware that Dillon would have made a damaging exposure of scandalous and_ in- tolerable official! practices to cheat justice and forward the ends of the party in pow- er. By ery prov ision of Lord O’Ha ran s act had been violated, and the law officers ofthe Crown must have known it. The Speaker's ruling, however, will not prevent the truth becoming known. The facts will presently leak out through other channels, if their statement in Parliament is impossible. No graver question than this, affecting the purity of justice, the personal liberty of the subject and the safeguards erected by the constitution against ministerial abyse of law and power, has arisen in this country for many a long day. Lord Salisbury’s Govy- ernment, with the help of Mr. Peel, has succeeded in passing the address in reply to the speech from the throne, but ministers

may rest assured that they have laid the foundations of serious trouble for them- selves in the near future.

The round table is upside down. My

prediction that nothing would come of the conferences, and that they were in effect done with is justified by the event. Cham, berlain has utterly failed in his short-sight- edendeavor to out-imanceuyre Gladstone. In his self-complacent way he counted on hending John Morley to his will like a piece of putty. But Morley proved to be of sterner stuff than most of the tools Cham- berlain has been accustomed to handle. Finding he had committed a mistake and made no more impression on Morley than his fist would have done on an iron anvil, he tarned around on his own colleagues and abused them. The result is, the last attempt to resuscitate the dry bones of reunion has completely broken down, the embers re- viling each other like pickpockets. Con- vinced at last that he cannot return in triumph like a conqueror to the Liberal party, Chamberlain has directed his atten- tion to the next best thing—an attempt to secure Lord Randolph Churchill's recon- ciliation with Salisbury and restoration to the Tory Cabinet. There is a whisper going the rounds, the source of which I suspect is Mr. Chamberlain himself, that Lord Randolph Churchill is to return to office as Secretary of State for India, that Mr. Chamberlain is the medium through whom this happy solution has been effected, and that Churchill, consequently, is to be reckoned henceforth as one of Chamber- lain’s henchmen.

The present session of revealed a remarkable and unexpected solidity between the Gladstone Liberal party and their Irish allies, thus bringing together in reality, as well as in name, inglish, Seotch, Welch and Irish iu one solid political combination for the achive- ment of Home Rule. It is a remarkable fact, and one well worth taking note of, that not a single Gladstone Liberal ratted who has been asked aud prmised to sup- Lt was prophesied that the plan of campaign would smash the Home Rule party into fragments, but the party survives and the coalition 1s stronger than it ever was before. The fact is the English democracy never Irish movement with one-

parliament has

rallied to any twentieth of the enthusiasm taey have shown in the cause of the oppressed

tenantry of Ireland. The movement out- side parliament is kept going by the mem- bers of the whole party —English and Irish showing equal devotion—as well as inside the House of Oommons. has absented himself simply because he cannot agree to abstract resolutions. wishes to attack the government on its legislation, when it begins, and that he will do so effectively if opportunity offers, and on the side of Ireland, there is happily not a shadow of doubt.

The government, i think, are seated in their places for a time, and no serivus at- tempt will be made to dislodge them. They are weakly led in the Commons by Smith ; but the procedure rules will probably be carried, the Liberals feeling little desire to oppose them. The Trish will insist on dis- cussing every detail, and the discussion will certainly carry us to Easter. Coercion will be the chief dish in the ministerial bill of fare, and will be subjected to the severest attacks the government has yet expert- enced.

I have trom a correspondent in the south of Russia serious accounts of the massing of troops on the Austnan frontiers. There had been concentrated on the Galician bor- ders an enormous force of cavalry. New
