Imperial Union.

Tue Halifax Herald says :-

There is an idea just now finding con- siderable prominence in magazines, public journa s and speeches of public men. It is the preject of forming the | nited Kinsdom | the British possessions into a great comercial Union for the purpose of unit- ing and strengthening British interests and fostering reciprocal inter-British trade. The old question of the reorganization of the Empire is again to the fore, and in a hun-

and

dred different directions the indications are that a most exhaustive discus- gion. of ‘the subject is about being)

inaugurated. It has broken out in Cape Colony, where a member of the Legisla- tive Assembly has been recently making a speech in favor of giving colonial represent- ation in the administration of {mperial af- fairs. Broad Arrow warns the Imperial Governient that the Empire is falling into disintegration for want of erganization. A military M. P, Lieut.-Colonel Arbutinot calls for a Union of the whole Empire for the purposes of military defence. English statesmen are giving the whvle question considerably more than the usual attention. From many quarters confirmatory of each other, it is beyond doubt that Earl Beaconsfield has been studying the subject, as also have the Earl Carnarvon, the true

friend of the Colonies, and the Duke of Manchester, the latter of whom struck the key-note of the English utterances upon the sub-

ject when he said: “‘I feel that the great colonies of England have as much right to exercise a voice, and to govern and in- fluence the foreign policy of the nation as any country in England.” The ‘*Broad Arrow” says: “lf we could see Canada sending her members to London, New Zealand. Australia and the Cape following suit, anc ali taking part at fixed periods in matters connected with the Empire, we should feel that its existence was assured, and that the British power was imperish- able, and that our enemies might rage against 1s in vain.”

Thia idea of organization of the Emy is one of the oldest of the ideas which sprung from the establishment of British colonies on this continent. Joseph Howe, in his great speech upon the organization of the Empire refers to an old statesman of the revolutionary period, whose name he said would be dug up, and whose writings would be read with interest in years to come, on both sides of the Atlantic—old Governor Pownall. Looking through the strife and passion which preceded the American revolution, through the fire and smoke of it, at the stupid prejudices and blunders which it en- gendered, and which it - has entailed, Governor Pownall said to the budding rebels cleaning their muskets, and to the deaf and blind statesmen of England: ‘‘You are one family. ‘The ocean divides you. You must have different forms of Government, but that is no reason why you should not bea united family. Arbitrate on ds, uted points. Keep the peace. Have distinct forms of Government if you please, but establish a Zoiverein, and let there be perpetual amity and free trade between the British races on both sides of the Atlantic.”

Sicilia lhliinicmvcaiosienl A New European Combination. The New York World's London corres-

pondent writes that the British Govern-

ment were disposed to enter into a direct alliance with Germany and Austria. The only objection to this alliance would be the bad effect it would have on British relations He says that :—

with France. ‘* Nothing but a not unreasonable indis- position to alienate France now restrains Great Britain from an open alliance with Germany and Austria to curb the ambition and thwart the policy of Russia. It is quite certain, however, that any serious at- tempt on the part of Russia to resent the attitude taken up towards her by the two great German powers, or to counteract the inevitable effect of that attitude upon the populations of European Turkey, would put an end to all such hesitations at Lon- n. For, whatever may be the dreams or + desires of Frenchmen, it would be gheer madness for France to invite upon her open eastern frontier the assault of the vast combined armaments of Germany and Austria backed by the wealth and the irre- sistivle naval power of Great Britain. Nothing that italy could do to aid a Franco-Russian alliance in the Mediter- ranean, on the line of the Alps or in the Adriatic could counterbalance the enormous advantages of position possessed by the Austro-Gorman armies, which hold Central Europe from the Vosges and the Moselle to the week frontier of Russia and from the Baltic Sea to the Alps, acting in combina- tion with the mistress of all the European seas frou the Channel to the Neva and from Gibraltar to the Dardanelles. So long as Lismarck lives and the Nihilists rage, Enyland, Austria and Germany have only to * pool their issues” to keep Murope at their p.creye” ——> <> a

The Afghan Problem.

If the London Times Simla despatch, which we published yesterday, reflects the views of the indian Government, there can- not be miuch difficulty in determining what the solution of the Afghan problem wi! The British are to remain in the coun‘), that is they will remain there in forc id not merely be represented by a mission.

~ PUBLIC

—

They will not set up another Ameer to plot against them as soon as he gets strong enough to do so, but they will assume the direction of affairs themselves and let the petiyllocal chiefs do the rest. In fact, the British will take the place of the Ameer in the Government of Afghanistan ; for all the Ameers who have ruled of late in

the 30th day of November next tors, in accordance with the prov

lect the rates and taxes from al!

same.

those

that country have exercised authority main- ly by dividing up these local chiefs and taking advantage of their quarrels. The } Afghan knows nothing about loyalty or| p.triotism as it “is understood in Europe, nor is he open to any of those generous im- pulses which affect the political concuct of civilized peoples. The only attachment he knows is to his tribe or tribal chief and that is mainly because he is allowed to rob and murder under his banner. The only sensation by which he can be affected in his conduct is fear ; he knows nothing of faith, or honor or generosity. The British Gen- eral, who now occupies Cabul, understands

this feature of the Afghan character well and he will not fail to take ad-

vantage of his knowledge. He is in- stituting a thorough enquiry into the ori- gin of the Cabul massacre and it will be strange indeed if he does not lays his hand on the real culprits. If the Ameer’s father- in-law, the ex-Governor of Cabul, the Min- ister of Finance, or even the Ameer him- self are found te have been parties to the treacherous Cabul massacre of September last, they should be solemnly and publicly hanged before the whole population of the Afghan capital. Such a punishment in- flicted on men so high in rank would never

and it would teach them the useful lesson that treachery and murder would

their du reward, no the culprits may be. It by the exercise of severe measures that the British will be able to establish a Government in Afghanistan ; but, when once established, and when they once have been imbued with a wholesome dread of British law, there is reason to be- lieve that the Afghans will give no further trouble. One thing is certain, that the sritish, for better or for Worse, have now the Government of Afghanistan thrown on their hanes, and it will be singular if they do not succeed it bringing it under proper control.—sSt. John Telegraph.

Accounts of experiments with the electric light in illuminating the fortress of Metz state that they have proved entirely satisfactory as far as they have been tried. It is proposed by means of the electric light to render it impes- sible for an attacking party to sap and mine a fortification in the night, as the surroundings will be lighted up with a brilliancy that wiil render concealment impossible, and enable the guards to preserve as perfect a watch as in the day time.
