MR. GLADSTONE ON THE PRESENT STATE
OF THE ALABAMA CLAIMS QUESTION.

From the reply of the British Premier to Mr. McCul-
loch Torrens, in the House of Commons, as to the state of
the Alabama claims question, we understand precisely
where the hitch is that prevents negotiations. Mr.
Gladstone said the case stood just where it did a year and
a half ago, at the time the United States declined the
offer made by England, and that the next advance for a
settlement was due from the American Government. The
British Government waits, then, for some action or pro-
position from the United States for reopening negotia-
tions. We hope Mr. Frelinghuysen, if he is going to
London, will be instructed to make a definite proposition,
or if he should not accept the appointment of Minister to
England that some other able statesman will be appointed
at once with like instructions. The responsibility o
keeping open this question is now thrown directly upon
our Government by the official declaration of Mr. Glad-
stone in the House of Commons. We cannot let the blame
rest upon us. To do so would show weakness and inde-
cision. It would be said that we do not know what we
want, or that we are captious. In the first place
negotiations for the settlement of the question should
be conducted in Washington, and whoever may be
sent as Minister to London should propose ibis as
the first step. Negotiations having failed fn Eng-
land, let them be tried at Washington. There
may be some difficulty in making out a bill of damages in
dollars for the actual loss by destruction of American ves-
sels by the Alabama and the other British built corsairs,
though this is but a small portion of the damage really
done. But, we suppose, this loss can be pretty accurately
ascertained from the claims of shipowners filed in Wash-
ington. At any rate the amount can be ascertained.,
This, then, would be the first bill of items. That should
be presented and the amount demanded. But for the
other and greater damage, in the destruction of our mari-
time interests and commerce, a settlement might be
reached through negotiations for the transfer of the Bri-
tish possessions in America to the United States. The
damage was national, rather than individual, in this re-
spect, and such a settlement 'would have &national cha-
racter. The inevitable destiny of the British American
colonies is annexation to the United States. Within a
comparatively short time the American Republic must
become a continental Power by the absorption of adjacent
territories, and if England be wise she will take this oppor-
tunity to settle all difficulties with us and cement a lasting
friendship by giving up her American colonies. As a
part of the United States they will become more valuable
to her commerce and to the world than they are now or
e.Ter could be under colonial rule. Mr. Gladstone and
the ;other far-seeing statesmen of England may not be
unfavourable to such a proposition, and we advise General
Grant to present the question and to ask for a settlement
on this broad ground.—New York Herald.

and of free speech. So has King William.
idleostpoattismlelasiats heeq
Napoleon has suspended the liberty of the press
governed without Ministers. King
Napoleon has everua l equalled, cdo, m ifm
William has done the same—indeed, he has
treated his Ministers worse than his dogs. Napo-
leon has disturbed the peace of Europe. Bismarck
and King William together have disturbed it at least quite
as often.
But then, it is said, Bismarck is working for a
sable enough as a piece of dogmatism, but
good end and Napoleon for a bad one. Well, that is
pas
how will it bear investigation? What has be-
come of popular liberties under the rule of Prussia,?
Is there anything like fair play in the way
in which Denmark, Hanover, or Schleswig-Holstein
have been treated? It is said, " Oh, but it is for the
good of these small States to be swallowed up." The eel
might as well be told that it is good for it to be skinned
—but if we could become acquainted with the eel's
opinion upon the subject,'we should probably find that it
did not appreciate the beauty of the transaction. For the
sake of German Unity " everything must be sacri-
ficed. The idea naturally dazzles the mind of
every German—although it is only very -lately
that the people have brought themselves to
approve of it. At first they considered the ambition of
13ismarck as almost criminal. Now he has shown them
that he can make their country the greatest in Europe if
they will only follow his advice. Germany, like Aaron's

an opinion upon the subject. When our nation attempts to
decide off-hand on a question in dispute between foreigners,
she generally makes a mess of it. So it was with England
in our war. So, perhaps it will be with other nations in
the present war. Now, who caused the war ? France,
everybody shouts. Well, where is your proof of it? A.
theory is cosntructed that Prim saw Napoleon, and ar-
ranged the Hohenzollern difficulty, so that it might afford
a pretext for declaring war against Prussia.
Very pretty—but is Napoleon a fool? He may
be - anything else people choose to call him but
he is not an imbecile. And the precious plot
attributed to him could only be the fruit of sheer dotage.
For it was quite certain that Europe would instantly
see through the trick, and that almost every great power
would soon be arrayed against France. If France was
determined to make war, she need not have gone so far
out of her way for a pretext. She could have taken up
the disregarded treaty of Prague, and found in that some-
thing to answer her purpose. Then take the story on the
other side—namely, that Bismarck intrigued with Prim
in order to compel France to fight, knowing that by that
means he could bring over the South German, Confedera-
tionto his side, and -at once suppress all jealousies of
Prussia. Who is to 'decide between these stories,- unless,
indeed, it be the Pope ? On the face of matters, the one
tale is no more improbable than the other. France, after
all, has not so much. to gain sty a War as
I • russm. Bismarck 'accomplishes " German Unity"
by it, whether he wins -or loses, while
France can only gain if she wins. A German
correspondent offers to put us right on the whole ques-
tion. He says I merely wish-to state that Prussia,
since Sadowa, has contimially been working for a German
unity, which could only be achieved by a war against
that despot whose main object has always been to
impede, if he possibly could, the attainment of
the desired aim." Then what Worms of the
statement that France' alone,
and France is re-
sponsible for the war ? Our correspondent is doubtless
right. German unity could not have been accomplished,
at least so soon, without a war with France. The end
may a
be worth war; but is it just to saddle Napoleon
with the whole responsibility of it ? Can we not give
"moral support" to the Germans without falsifying all
the facts of contemporary history? It is all very well to
renounce Napoleon and all his works—but surely some-
thing is clue to our own credit as the chroniclers of pass-
ing events.—. New York Times,
