TIE TIMES ON Mr.. GLADSTONE AND THE FE-
MANS. I...
The Times to-day in an article on the elamor for
Fenian amnesty, says Many Governments as well
a. that OF England formerly regarded rebellion as
transcendng all other crimes, and as one to be pun
ished beyond them all. The British Government
now looks on il as more fraught than ordinary crimes
with ruinous consequences to the peace and prosper
ity of the country, as springng from the same In
tractabity of temper and selfish disregard
Of the welfare of others which prompt
common illegalities and requiring the
same standard of punishment When it Is demon
strated that tho Fenians have harder work, worse
food and harsheT treatment than other conviots, 1t
will DO time to accuse Mr. Gladstone OF being less
sensitive to injustice when practiced on his fellow
eountrymen than when inflicted on foreigners.
While the Government refuses to act towards rebel
lion as if it simply virtue msdireeted, Mr. Glad
stone can afford to treat with indifference the impu-
tatjon that he has turned renegade from his gener
GUS principles Of 1851.
