Ono might as well talk about the weather as the
Eastern Question by way OF news. What little is
known regarding il. is generally known what the real
state Of il a, ard what the final answer to il in history
viii re- nobody knows. But does tsld about the
weatAer, because every body else talks about i-Per
hsps because it il easy to talk abOuts0 able edit
and well informed correspondents write about the
Eastern Question. Take the morning and evening pa
pcTs together, ard what with telegraph dispatches ani
eorTtfpondeIce and correction denial and discussion
of tie sane and rumerp and Cuesses, and historical
essGys en- the Ottoman Empire and Russian iradi-
tonal policy and their criticisms Of each others srt
el.s, there sppear daily Paris average not far
fIom three yards Of printed matter, touching or pre-
tending to touch this same Eastern Question. Ihe

"perts hiss ?" was hcOnsm in comparison. Longer

were never written The diplomatic literature in the

that have read this same European diplomacy is in
