Government and Opposition. ENGLAND AND KUROPE, Finance has always been Mr. Gladstone’s strong point; and even his little supple- mentary budget was not without its sur. prize in the abolition of the malt tax. This tax is one of those things that an outsider can’t well understand. Somehow or the other the ‘‘Malt Tax” is supposed to embody one of the deep constitutional principles separating the two parties. As itis now abolished, it is to be hoped we shall hear nothing more abeut it, and be spared the humiliation of constantly reading about one of those things which, ‘‘of course, everyone understands,” while one is secretly, though painfully, conscious that he does not and cannot understand it. A porn? which the Conservatives are try. ing to make against the Gladstune Admin- istration is scarcely a fair one, It is said that this Administration, loudly against every act of their predeces sors, are now in all places in South Africa, the same linies. after clamouring in Afghanistan, in Europe—running on But it will be a fatal day when every in-coming Government, instead of taking up affairs where they were left and making the best of th@m, will think it necessary to reverse all that its opponents have done. When a party leader fails to prevent a certain act, he by no means pledges himself to reverse it on the first opportunity. He may say, with perfect consistency : ‘‘ I would have prevented this if | could ; but now that it has been done, i must make the best of a bad bargain.” Sir Wilfred Lawson has succeeded in get- ting his local optien bill threngh the Com- mons, aud it is thought that there is a fair chance of its passing the Lords. The bill is of the same kind as the Canada Teimper- ance Act. That this should puss the Br¢ tish House of Commons shows a wenderful growth of temperance principles. recall of Sir Bartle Frere, someting inay be said for the vosition the Government take.

One not well up in the mysteries of Con- ventions, Delegations, etc., might be ex- cused if he supposed that a few days ago Garfield had been elected President of the United States. He would, however, be ewbarrassed at finding Hancock also elected a few days afterwards. The preliminary choice of candidates is as much a trial of strength of parties within the party as the final election is between the parties them- during the campaign. But the hustings is not the place from which toe hear the words of seber wisdom ; and better there shonld be some inconsist- encies between pre-election speeches and post-election acts, than that the honerable tradition of British Statesmanship should be violated, which stands by a” public ser- vant as leng as possible, and shields him from all that vindictive partizanship would do. selves.

But these are matters of infinitely small importance, com- pared with the reforms promised in the Turkish Government generally, and in Asia Miner in partic: ; and that these re- forms are simply i. ossible 1s an opinion more and more prevailing. The Sultan has received M. Goschen very affably, and has not failed to make most profuse prom- ises of amendment, even going so far as to dismiss some of his ministers and appoint Grant and Tilden were the two men either ef whom would, if nominated, have split his party. All anti-third term Republicans would have gone against Grant. Tam- many would have epposed Tilden. Be- tween Grant and Tilden there would prob- ably have been a clese run, theugh either of them would most iikely have been beaten by any other candidate frem the oppesit® side. Grant having failed, it became necessary for Tilden to be withdrawn, With his usual astuteness ‘‘ Uncle Sammy,” as his friends affectionately call him, saw not only this, but saw also that the best way would be to make the withdrawal his own act. and, in a most able and clever letter, which must prove a strong campaign decoument, declined the nomination. The advantage the Democrats have gained by this strategy is that they have been able to put in the field one of the'r strapg men, without causing the soreness of defeating a streng body of delegates. The Republicans have had to put up a ‘‘dark” man, as their strong men would net yield. Hancock is a soldier whose record is a°good one. If the South will accept him, and it is said that the old Confederate soldiers are in his favor, hig success is very probable. Garfield is evi- dently taken as being the “least dividing man.” He is scarcely as prominent a ian as was Hayes, who, by the way, has proved himself net much more than an irreproach- new ones. Indeed, Lord Granville’s in- structions were so plain spoken, and con- veved so unmistakeably a diplomatic threat that, no doubt, something had to be done. Had they been issued by Lord Salisbury to Sir H. H. Layard, we should have had them paraded in all the Liberal papers as But it is marvellous how our opinions vary about the same act done by a friend or an op- Jingoism of the worst type. ponent, It does not say much for the common sense, tact and (notwithstanding the large number of Liberals) liberality of the Brit- ish Parliament, that it has allowed Mr. Bradlaugh to succeed in getting himself At first the member elect professed conscientious but find- made a martyr. for Nerthampton scruples against taking an oath ; ing that this would cause himself some in-|able and amiable nonentity.

However, that wasea matter for himself to deside. Had he been allowed to make this exhibition of himself ane his principles. he would have dene more to discredit those principles andbring himself into contempt ‘han his mest vielent opponent can do fer aim. But he has the game now pretty much in his own hands. The oftener he is committed to prison, the stronger he will become. That he will win in the long run there is little doubt. But it is also pretty certain that his election has preved a God- send te the Oppesition—he has already done a govd deal to discredit the Govern- ment majority. It is never safe to draw conclusions from the brief and imperfect notices the telegraph sends. Fuller ac- counts often give quite a different appear- ance to matiers. But the fact seems cer- tain that the Leader ef. the Oppesition has guided the whole House in its action in the Bradlaugh matter, right in the teeth of the Ministry.

Tilden reckons that unless the opposition, at the beginning of the campaign, have a two- thirds majority they will never carry an election ; and a very practical proof of this is given by the long term that a party, once in, isable to hold. The Republicans have been in power for over twenty years. The Democrats had a long innings before them. [t is ominous that at the last change there was a rebellion ; and when four years ago, there was very nearly a change, there was as nearly another rebellion. How bitter the feeling between the North and South still is may be judged from the following remark made at the Republican Convention by a delegate who was opposing a metion in favor of Civil Service Reform. Mr, Cessua said ‘‘that he was not in faver of any civil service reform which weuld prevent turning out of the Departments at Washington, the rebel brigadiers who are entrenched there like rats in their holes, and thus make place for one-legged and one- armed Union soldiers who are entitled to ly before.
