The Eastern Qnestion.

It is well known that Lord Stanley, the late
Foreign Secretary OF Her Britannia Majesty
had serious f1rcSolings In respect to VIII II is
known as the " Eastern Question"
The cable dispatches now indicate that the
long lrea led conflict is At hand Ofoae thing
we may be iully assured, Anl that Is, II will
require all the skill and inge nulty Of the ablest
dlplomatlsts Of the Old World to save Conti-
mental Europe from a universal war.
The late new. sSem, TO pnrteni immediate
trouble. The Su tan has positively refused 70
allow his authority or rights 10 Crete 70 b.
questioned This Is taking bold stand, and
ii he who Is known as 1.-The Sick Man" can
maintain his assumed pc iuou Ani keep bold
front, what will the o'her Powers Of Europe
dot what cAa they dol
The Sultan In assuming this position does
simply what every ruler or power Is bound tc
do, and that is, to maintain its own rights t.
govern every inch Of territory which, byp5c
cedent, usage or conquest, belongs to It,.
When the civil war was Lu progTess In Amarl
"a we could n 1t have accepted any interference
on the part OF England, or France, or an!
other Power, which would have reco sniRe
the right OF the South to secede. That ques
tion could only be settled BY the sword. WOul
England to-day allow her right to rule in Ire
Land to be questioned Clearly not.
We confess that we do not see how the sui
tan of Turkey can consent to give up his spowe
10 control and govern Cretci and If the grea
Powers compel him TO do this, we see no
where lies their tight to do it, and we shal
not, therefore, be disappointed II there b
trouble growing out Of this Eastern question
which shall involve the whole of Europe in
terrific conflict, Great and important princi
pies of international law are involved In thi
Eastern question. There Is to assemble II
Paris on Saturday a sort OF European Con
gress, and we may well conjecture tina: thu
task before 1t Is one Of much perplexity. W.
shall walt the action Of this body with much
anxiety and solictulc. Perhaps Louis Napo
leon and that grca. statesman, Bismarck, may
be able to carry the thing through and Nvoi,
all the breakers ahcNii but we confess thl
the prospect is not hopeful.
