THE SPEECH OF SIR JAMES GRAHAM.
( From the Times of till's day.
The common sense of mankind has aereed that there
is something inevitably little anti narrow-minded in imi-
tations. No imitator, no follower, ever theroughly in
destood his original, or was anything else than a re-
duced and bad copy ; and the best pupils have invariably
found it necessary before long to sacrifice their love and
admiration for their master to the higher instincts of in-
dependence and self-respect. Why Sir Robert Peel's
small band cif followers have not clone this—why they
make such a religion of doing what Peel did, and finding
out what Peel would have done—and why, in this hope-
less pursuit, they put themselves into a bad position
with nineteen-twentieths of their fellow-countrymen—
which Peel certainly would never have done—we cannot
divine. There is something morbid in the whole affair,
and it is not to be explained by any common rules of
action. We are not going to quarrel with the very
small bit of Peeliern that Sir James Graham did the
other day in the neighbourhood of Carlisle, for we hold
that there ought to be a decent reserve, a cloak of charity,
thrown over the transactions of a gentleman with his
borough. The railway of which Sir J. Graham turned
the first sod, if sod it really was, appears to lead from
one sandbank on the south shore of the Solway Frith to
another. Carlisle, which contains under a thousand 101.
householders, has already several communications with
the sea, and the railway to which Sir James has con-
tributed his lofty prestige purposes—at the cost, we
should think, of a quarter of a million—to carry an ex-
isting communication almost as far down the coast as
another existing one. How many coast railways Car-
lisle can require, how many Civita Vecchias this Rome
of the Borders is likely to create with its overflowing
commerce, we cannot pretend to guess ; but we are not
at all surprised to hear that the existing line most
threatened by the Silloth Railway fought it in committee,
beat it in more than one session, and apparently has
only been defeated at last through Sir James's powerful
advocacy of the new line. Howevei, though the line is
speculative to the last degree, a large proportion of Sir
James's humbler constituents have invested their savings
in it, and he seems to c insider the poverty of the share-
holders a set off against the badness of the speculation.
We do not ourselves see the logic of thin. In other re-
spects the line does not stand a comparison even with
the Trent Valley Railway. There, though at a very
disproportionate cost, the main line of the London and
North- We-tern was shortened by about tea or twelve
minutes, and a direct communication gained with borne
warn/eel taut towns. 'Lie benefit of Sir James's line
will be, that his 525 supporters, who now go by rail to
hree points of the Solway Frith, will be able to go to a
f.,urth, not quite so far dawn as one, or so far up as
en ether. We have attempted to calculate the profits of
the new lire, but the only result we cars obtain is, that
if all toe other lines are deserted, and Sir James kept the
whole of his Carlisle constituents travelling up and down
the Silloth Railway every day in the year, Sundays and
holidays included, at ordinary fares, it would still be a

losing concern.
But, standing on the pedestal of this promising enter-
prise, Sir James is reminded of tile ouestion, `• What
would have been the conduct of Sir R. Peel under exist-

ing circumstances, were be now alive ?" and he answers
it by enlarging on Sir Robert's predilection in favour of
commerce, peace, progress, improvement, free trade,
private enterprise, profitable expenditure, and, in a word,
the work of citizens, as opposed to the work of politi-
cians.iklle rather permits the inference t i lurk than to
:'eclarlr itself, but the inference is, that at this moment
Sir Robert would be taking more care of the merchants'
profits than the supposed honour of his country. He
would be on the side of the citizen, not the politician.
The contrast of these ta o things runs through Sir James's
'tree speeches. He congratulates England that her
railways are made be citizens, not by politicians for
what he calls political purposes ; he entaks of all pros-
perity as speciall® the province and achievement of
citizens, and he evidently implies that, were it left to the
citizens of this country, of course we should nut be at
war, that being exclusively the work of politicians. There
is some ingenuity in the contrast here supposed, and in
the sort of foundation it has in the example of Sir
Robert Peel. Unquestionably that statesman left rail-
ways and everything else as much as possible to the pri-
vate enterprise and the spontaneous progress of the
people. He did his best to find out wuat the people
would do, or what the people would become, and he ex-
pedited the process in a legislative form. But, as the
enlightened British people cannot really love war, cannot
like fruitless expenditure, cannot like a 6 per cent. in•
come-tax, the wholesale destruction of human life, end-
less fighting, and abortive diplomacy, so it is assumed
that Sir Robert would have found expression for these
feelings in the preeervatien of an honourable peace. We
do not pretend to say that we have supplied a complete
train of reasoning, beginning with the Trent Valley
Railway and ending with a universal peace, even in spite
of the Czar and the Sultan, but we do say that some
such train of reasoning is the clue to Sir James's three
harangues.
We shall meet this way of speaking at once by deny-
ing as most untrue, and most dangerous, the supposed
distinction between the citizen and the politician. It is
very true that we may call a merchant a citizen, and a
Minister or a diplomatist a politician, arid no doubt
they have, by long habit, different ways of thinking.
It is also true that Sir Robert Peel in fighting the batt'e
of his life against classes, oligarchies, and minion,-
lies of all sorts, did often speak as if the citizen was the
proper and natural unit of society ; the politician
exotic, artificial, and forced. It is true that at a
time when his thoughts were concentrated on one
particular measure, he committed the immense and irre-
parable error of repudiating, in the matter of railways,
;ill the functions of the State, except the mere task of
discovering which were the !nest deserving, or the
strongest, or the w,althiest, or the tno4, unscrupulous
competitors. So f•r Sir Robert die sick the politician,
as he thought, fir the good of the citizen in a citizen's
affair; but, to do Sir Robert that justice which Sir
James does not, he did not suppose the citizen to be
wholly unpolitical. He never acted or spoke as if the
ordinary Englishman cared only for the balance in his
ledger. On the whole, Sir Robert raised the English-
mati's aspirations, and enlarged the sphere of his sym-
pathies.i He enc waged the citizen to feel that he n-
fleenced the world, and had a inissien towards all
nations. He did not degrade our politics, but he en-
nobled commerce. He was al ways prepar, d to recog-
nise the voice of the people, arid, so far from being ready
to divert the public rage from national honour to private
gain, and to answer our honest bidignatiOn by pointing
to the blessings of peace, Sir Robert never once said
" Nay" to any popular cry such as that which for many
months anticipated the declaration tit war against Res-
sta. It was only in commercial questions that he
favoured that. di,einction, unfortunate in any case, as we
think, between the citizen and tee politician, which Sir
James now essays to import into the question of national
honour. Once for all, however, on all subjects, we
deny that distinction. The good citizen is the best poli-
tician, and the sounl politician is the only true citizen.
On every subject the State expresses, or ought to ex-
press, the coalition conviction of all its citizens, as far
as they can be ascertained.; and all those citizens ought
to do their best that the State shall truly and fully re-
present them, and give effect to their common wishes.

THE WAR IN ASIA.
(From the Times of this day.)
The intelligence from Erzeroum is declared to be
much less alarming, and fully confirms the opinions we
have expressed as to the Asiatic struggle. According
to a bulletin of the Porte, the Russians advanced on the
4th of August against the intrenchments of Kars, and
attacked a battery. An artillery fight commenced, which
lasted two hours. The Russians are stated to have lost

a number of men, and to hrs.cs left 100 on the field, be.
sides those they took away. Although the event may
have received the usual official exaggeration, it is plain
that the enemy made a demonstration against Kars
which was attended with no effect, 'and that, either pur-
posely or from necessity, no general attack has been at-
tempted. Erzeroum is completely relieve& At Kerpi-
Keui, a little village on the road to Kars, a combat is
said to have taken place, probably between the irregular
cavalry of the two armies. Atter it, though we can
hardly believe in consequence of it, the Russians broke
up from before Erzeroum, and retired on Kars across the
Soghanli range of hills. In six weeks more the cold will
be piercing over all the great Armenian plateau, and the
heavy snows of another winter will begin to lie deep on
the roads which wind through ravines and round the
slopes of mountains in the country which is the scene of
war. How far the fear of Russian conquest was justi-
fied we now know. The campaign may be said to be
over. The generals of the. Czar must soon recall their
toops to Guwri and Teflis, while their opponents will
be distributed in the frontier towns from Batoum to
Bayazid. The little practical advantage which followed
the Russian victories of last year is well known, and,
although a large additional force has been brought across
the Caucasus and along the Caspian, the present cam-
paign is still more barren in results _than the last. The
Turkish_ commanders have this year at least been wise
enough to avoid an engagement, and not even fruitless
victories have ministered to the pride of the northern
Emperor and his people. A war from which much
was expected has produced only empty demonstrations,
and is now concluded in disappointment. Its ex-
penses have, no doubt, been very great : admitting
that provisions may be furnished by the country itself,
yet men, guns, and ammunition have been brought over
a thousand miles of steppe or ravine, or river or stormy
inland sea, to the frontiers of the two Mahomedan em-
pires ; and such a war must have derb,nded all the ob-
stinate hope which distinguishes the Muscovite. Opera-
hevtioawnewehr small,ichsli

them possession of some part,
Ottoman
territory, and place them
in -a higher position in the event of an attempt at pacifi-
cation, were their object ; yet, though they met only a
disorganised army, all their attempts were vain. They
have been vanquished, not by the strength of their ene-
mie,, but by the nature of the war itself ; and the result
shows how easily a pwerful adversary may be foiled in
a rugged and pathless country by an almost powerless
levy, if it be only guided by prudence. and not betrayed
by the venality or rashness of its leaders.
