az II the thing that has been shall beas If enthusiasm
and devotion but vagaries in politics, soon 10
meet with disappointment and ridcoie.
We conceive IL quite possible, thesefOre, that the
British people will be dscOntented with the peace
which if about to be proclaimed Granting what its
def noeIs state that il 10 a. favorable As could be *
pectet and may stand On its solid merits, we doubt
whether il will satisfy the hopes which, rightly or
wrongly have been cherished by Engli.hmen. There
can be doubt that the commenced with large ex
pec,a ions which increased by victory aud by the
consciousness Of ability 10 prolong the contest II was
thought concessions or even pecunery
dcmniy would be the result Of exedions. Bat It
DOW appears that triumph il Of different aud Of
a les payable kind. Our victories and our undlmn
i,btd resources are Their own reward. Inc defeats
brOOded over Europe are the losses Of Russia Even
though no concession had been wrung from the enemy,
even though S.vastOpol and BOmarund were again 10
brise with guns and shelter tqnadrons beneath Their
batteries Russia VIC uld not be what she was The
allies have scattered two lu-iODs-that her armies
were invincble, and that her territory must be tue
grave Of an invading force. They have shown that
The increase Of maritime and the progress of
science have made possible campaign with the sea for
BIZ sis Of peratOns and that Russia may be atany time
asaed according to the tactics OF 1901 They have not
only destroyed Of her Daves and forbidden Its
CONJUNCTION, but they have shown that naval forces IN
any sea are TO Russia only feeble exotic fOstered

There II, therefore, time 10 degenerate, regeneration
be possible. Perhaps the most sOhd gain of the war is
the night TO advise and 70 enforce advice on turkey
In one sense garrison the frontiers 81 the Otto
man State. For many years, unless France and
England be more reckless and Russia more subtle
than we can believe the ascendancy of the
WeaGD POwtn NUT be complete al CONSTANT
nOpe. Somewhat similar are our relations TO sweden.
The two along the shores of which Russian power
hes crafty advanced commanded by two States
which have been the victims of Muscoyite aggression,
and which are bound to Us IN close aud natural
alliance by the events of the wal. Such state of
things could not have been hoped fol three years since,
ard only made possible by CONFUSION like that
which Is about to end Viewed dispasslonatey these
~
are of uOIe import uce than If we had severed a
province from the Cars dOmnions, restored to its
savage population the supremacy over its mountain
chain.
While therefore, we regret that the weight of the
burden Of the wal allies, and their unwlse and
undignifed demonstrations in favor of peace, have
given TO Russia better terms than she had reason to
erect we cannot believe that this has been made
in vain. Netting that the country has done or sut-
fered will be lost; its shortcomings so speedily
and amply repaired, will add TO it's future fame. II
will not be gain believed that nation must be UNFIT
for war and incapable of high policy because its
peope in time Of peace devote themselves to those
pursuits by which alone the advantages Of
peace can be attained These two years have
shown that industry and enterprise are the surest
basis which military power can rest. The ma
ton which is sad TO have recklessly, foOishy, even
soIdidy neg, c the art of warfare, is fond, after
short term of bOstes possess ed OF the largest arna
menis by land and that the world has ever seen,
while military monarches exhausted and collapsed.
This reflection alone should reconcile EDglshmen TO
tie results about to he announced at Paris and con
vince them that the blood Of their countrymen has not
beer shed in vain. 1t should also convince any Envoy

war;
