A WORD Ti) COURTIRAL
Public opinion and political cootrovermy are rapidly
falling into a dangerous and demorellesd condition. The
spirit of inaccuracy, to soften down Mr. Cr,..'. famous
phrase, is once more abroad. and Ministers are stain
committing themselves to contradictory or irreconcilable
statement, with a truly alarming recklmenees. In the
Yale speech Lord Salisbury denounces the Opposition
for unpatriotic partisanship and misrepresentation, and
shows by the bitterness of his invective that be is nothing
if not.. partisan, and that he can make nothing of his case
if he does not misrepreeent. The Berlin Treaty could
only be the diplomatic triumph for England which
Lord Salisbury claims, upon the assumption that
its pmvisions, as TORRTd• the eve MA' ion of
Rsionselis, were carried otiL here in two all-important
respects they have been violated. The 3rd of May
hoe gone, the Russian troops hare made no sign of
leaving, and an even snore essential point, there is no
pro:petit of the Turkish troope entering. While the
assertions of the Premier. on • very critical and painful
subject, only conflict with those of one of his colleague.
It so profoundly unfortunate that Colonel Stanley and
Lord Resconsflelil should hese given different accounts of
the queen's letter to Lord Chelmsford. According to the
Secretary of State for War, it was the private act of her
Majesty, with which the Cabinet had nothing to do.
According to the Premier, it mu the act of her responsible
Ministers, and was constitutionally approved of by them.
