From tile Weekly Dispatch, London dug. 49,

Rectiication of the French frontier de-
manded of Prussia We must look
carefully into the state of the ''frontier
in 1874" W. presume as it was first held
by Louis XVIII. b, fore the hundred
days, ere We excIaim too loudly but the
claim is ominous 1t is, however, in
some degree imposed on Imperialism by
the mob of France headed by such States
men q as Theirs, and such writers as
pander TO the common Ignorance.
There is pretty much the same ambi-
tious greed in all nations incompletely
civilised. The most difficult of all les
sons is that of common honesty. "Live
and let live" is really the Omega as we'll
as the Alpha of politics, but your over
clever folks think they can invent some
more ingenious maxim that will put such
simple wisdom quite out of countenance.
The Americans, with their manifest
destiny" are almost caricatured by the
celebrated French politician, M. FORBADE,
whose articles in the ReUue des Dear

interests Of the new one. IF they choose
10 invade England we'll and good, and if
England hangs them better still, but the
welfare of the Union is not 10 be made
dependent upon their proceedings or
their fate. The curse of American poll
tics is the necessity of intriguing for
"heavy" votes, just as the curse of ours
is the necessity of "conciliating" special
interests.-Ibid, august IL.
A remarkable speech was made in the
House of Lords on Monday, Lord Kim
berley taking advantage of the Bill for
continuing the suspension of the Habeas
Corpus Act 10 deliver his views upon the
condition of Ireland. He believed that
few were aware of the extent and danger
of the Ftnian conspiracy, which was
most active among the %arlizans and small
tradesmen, and in which the farmers
would undoubtedly have Joined. Lord
Kimberley evidently believed that moth
ing but the energy of the Government
averted a formidable rebellion, and urged
on the Peers the consideration Of Irish
tenure, which he declared to be ga most
urgent question:" Unless the land griev-
arces were remedied, 'lhey would, he
was convinced, be forced upon the atten-
ton of Parliament" These are grave
words TO be spoken by a Peer 10 Peers,
but the landlord feeling is, we fear, in
durable except by offers of compensation,
which will not be made until we have
met and survived a catastrophe.-Ibid.
People are dying in hundreds in Orissa
because the Indian Government will not
keep its pledges. 1t has promised a per-
petual settlement over and over again,
but only granted one for thirty years
the last is Isl expiring, and the land
lords are throwing the country out Of cul-
t~lvatlon lest Government should, accord
ing to custom, raise The rent. They will
not even use water brought to their
doors, lest it should be made an excuse
for increasing taxation. The settled dis
tricts of Bengal are the richest in Asia,
and have nc !an'n3s, and their population,
except on a single estate, refused to
rebel, knowing quite well that a native
government would upset the settlement.
Yet nothing Can induce the old Indians
in the Victoria Hotel TO let any other
province share in Tie security Of Benga-
lee tenure. The "revenue must be pro-
tected," as If a rich people were harder
to tax than a poor one,-I6id.

Poplar and Bow "the people are falling
i'll every hour" the medical officers are
overworked, and the Registrar-General
earnestly calls for help. The people for
tunately do not desert one another, but
with putrid water, little medicine, and no
knowledge, what can they do? There is
no organization, not as much as in a good
country village, and no upper class to
take the lead. The results of the neglect Of
years are being crowded into a month,
but the moment the storm has passed the
neglect will recommence. Peers and
members live in the country, and cannot
be induced to organize the collection of
towns called London on any scientific
system. With no means of government,
they must be "self-governing."-Ibid.
The most powerful speech of the night
was made by Mr.. Bernal Osborne, who
pointed out that the Habeas Corpus Act
had been suspended in Ireland nine times
since the Act of Union. He held that
the responsibility for that state of things
lay with the English governors of Ireland,
who still "walked the m%ill-horse round
of coercion" till, though 1900, 600 Of
people had left Ireland since 1916, there
had been in those twenty years two at
tempts at instruction. Fenianism was a
communistic plot, which could be dealt
with in the field, but in the south respec-
table farmers would, if the Fenians gain
ed any success, join them in a body. He
believed that the remedy woaId not be
found in the ''cuckoo cry for identity of
institutions" but in reforming or abolish
ing the Church, in doing justice as 10
education, in remoddIing the tenure, in
abolishing the Lord-Lieutenaucy, and in
organizing throughout the country a strong
and actiUe executive. We i~taIicize those
words, because we believe that this is one
of the wants Of Ireland which could be
supplied, and which is much too often
forgotten. The English system of gov
erning the poor by the rich, and calling
that selfgovernment, IS as much out Of
place in Ireland as it would be in France.

The Emperor of the French has signed
the bases of a decree creating a fund for
the maintenance Of workmen incapacita-
ted for work by wounds. The wording
of the decree is a little obscure, but its
meaning appears to be that the State, the
Departments, the Communes, and the
Railways are to pay a tax amounting to
/ per cent. on their expenditure for pub
lie works towards q Labour Fund. This
tax will, it is supposed, realize 100000.
a year, which allows 500 pensions of 12L.
a year to be distributed annually, the
pensioners living generally about twenty
years. This looks very like a new tax
decreed by the Sovereign alone, but the
bodies affected will not be able to resist
so popular o measure. The next step
ought 10 be to provide for workmen in
capacitated through age.-Ibid.
The Jamaica affair has been brought
to conclusion in both Houses of %oarIia-
ment. We have analysed the debate in
the Commons elsewhere, but must men
ton here that in the Peers Lord Carnar-
Won was indefinitely more conciliaiory,
straightforward, and impartial than his
Under-Secretary, Mr.. Adderley. He also
refused TO prosecute Mr.. Eyre or to grant
compensation, but he described the mill
tary letters exul,ing in the massacres as
'sindecent and disgusting" and promised
to revise the whole system Of martial
law in the Colonies. He ackno wledged
that he was responsible for any injustice

committed on any c%olonist, and stated that
he had repeated Mr.. Cardwell's orders for
inquiry into the conduct of civil officials,
and had induced the Horse Guards 10
order that the officers implicated by the
Report should be tried by courts-martial
composed Of officers un~connected with
Jamaica. Moreover, although a general
amnesty is refused, the power of pardon
is to be largely exercised. The whole
speech suggested that Lord Carnarvon
felt his responsibility, considered a negro
a human being, and, as far as party ext
gencies would allow, would secure him
iustice.-Lbid.

justice.-Lbi@.
Either we have been very near o gene
raj European war, or the French Govern
ment is trying very hard to conceal a
complete defeat. Papers in its interest
assert that peace was only secured by a
threat of armed mediation, that Napoleon
acted with "profound disinterestedness,"
that Saxony was saved by a distinct me-
mace, and that Luxembourg is after all
to be handed over to France, Bismark
engaging TO secure the consent of Holland.
On the other hand there is some sore
ness in France, Luxembourg is German,
and the King Of Prussia will surrender
nothing German, the King of Saxony is
an old friend of Frederick William, and
France is avowedly excluded from the
negotiations. The balance of evidence
seems TO prove that France has applied
some pressure, and that it has been re-
sented with asperity.-I6td.
The Daily NeWS thinks it necessary to

we fail to see IL good reason for the

is not wisdom, for if a COMMANDMENTS

body under him will expect immunity,
and everybody therefore will do his best.
Admiral Persano, for aught we know, is
an unfortunate officer of great gaIlantry,
but suppose he ran away, as the Italians
say, why should he not be shots The
next admiral would be daring enough,
and recklessness is the precise quality re-
quired in a new State.-Ibid.
The American "House Committee on
Foreign Affairs" has recommended, and
the House of Representatives has passed,
a Bill relaxing the neutrality laws, abo-
fishing in particular the law which re-
quires the owners Of armed vessels quit
ting ports within the Union 10 give
bonds for good conduct. The report
which suggests this change gives as its
principal reason sympathy with Ireland
under her treatment by Great Britain,
and both report and Bill are simply bids
for the support Of the Fenians, whose
leaders were visible on the floor of the
House. The Liberals fear the armed
Irish will support The President in his
expected contest with Congress, described
elsewhere, and Mr.. Johnson on his side
has directed Mr.. Seward TO advise Lord
Monck that any severity towards Fenians
will be regarded with disfavour in the
United States. All this while the true
feeling Of nine Americans in ten is that
ireland has, grievances, as Germany has,
but that Irish citizens of the Union ought,
like German citizens, to forget their old
nationalityand devote themselves to the
