The task offnteryensns even In the mos, friendly

night were to the effect that the British Govern
ment, at least has no intention Of Offering nica ion

have been made bY the French Emperor.
We should desire nothing better than that Ma
poleon or the Czar, who the two most popular
sovereigns across the Atlantic, should either sepa

WHAT THE MANCHESTER COTTON MEN THINK or
MEDIATION.
From the Manchester Guardian, June 1911
There are many objections TO the scheme
OF the joint mediation winch appears to be on the
t,pis Our hands not free in this matter rs
those of the French Government whose relations
with America not embarrassed either ty lies OF
relationship or by recollecions Of recent rivalry
Bat the Emperor Napoleon has t,rutiiied tie taste
OF his subjects for foreign influence in many worse
directions than that which he ID now again repre-.
seutcd to be thinking of aud he will have our ac.

take for the simple purpose OF putting stop to the
most crying scandal whoh the 18th century has

THE LONDON TIaEs ON TIE NATIONALITY" or
THE REBELS.
From the london Times, June L.
1t ID plain that the time is approaching, when
Europe viii have to think seriously of its relations
to the two beliigerents in the American war A
contest is raging OF which we predict nothing
but that every week viii add to the hatre,ls of the
two communities, and will spread ruin wider and
wider; The state Of ;iirs disclosed ,,s by the
last advlccs deserves anxIOus consideration '-* <
1t cannot be doubted that we are approaching
time when more important question even
than that OF an offer of nediation may have to be
considered by England and France. The Southern
Confe6eracy has constituted itself a nation for
nearly year and half. During that time the ut.
ttoimen of the people to the new Government has
been indubitably shown; immense armies have
been raised, the greatest sacrifices have been IL
durcd, the persistence Of the South in t'm war
through q long series of battles some victories.
some defeats-has shown the force and consis-
tcacr' which are looked upon as the tests of ma.
tionality. Wherever the Government is uuno-
Tested, the laws are administered regularly as in
time Of peace, and wherever the Federals have
penetrated they received with an animosiiy
which they resent, as at New Orleans: by u military
rule OF into!erbe brutality. The vision of Union
party in the South has been dispeIie the North
erners themselves compelled, with bitterness
aud notification to admit.
All these circumstances point to but one conclu-
sioc : Either this war must he brought to an end
the tine will at last when the South III ay
claim its own recognition by foreign nations ~,
independent Power. The precedents OF our Amer
ieau colonies, of the Spanish colonies, OF Belgium
and of Trgcany and Naples the other day, forbid us
to question this right when asserted by the Co,,fed
crate States. II is our duty to anticipate this pos
sbe event, and it may be wise as well generous
for statesmen on this side of the ocean to approach
the American Government In friendly spirit with
the offer OF their good Offices at this great crisis OF
its fortunes. a
