Tho Relations Botwcea Fraaco and Italy.
France and Italy do not appear to main
tain that exact feeling Of cordiality towards
each other which should characterize the
diplomacy Of the two advanced national
representatives of European freedom and
progress. The Theirs Cabinet Is not pleased
with the tone adopted BY King Victor EN-
manuel in his reply to French cOmmnnioa-
ton requesting tue recall Of the Chevaller
Nigra from the Italian Embassy in Paris. The
Italian Parliamentary Committee on the Army
Budget Appropriation has approved the gov
ernment estimate for military purposes. The
Minister Of War announces that tho army re-
quirements should be fully provided for, al
though there Is s'no reason to fear aggression
on the part of their neighbor France, for an
aggressive policy is opposed to her interests"
The Minister added that the Italian nation
should always be prepared for tho ''evil'
of war, although there is mo danger" of its
occurrence just now. Proceedings such as
these bstoken the existence Of rufied course
Of diplomacy between the two countries, to
say the least. 1t is difficult to explain the
oauss. Perhaps the Italian Minister has been
merely experim enting on the patriotic senti-
msnt of the Parliament in order to carry his
army bill of estimate difficult work In the
present condition of the Italian treasury and
under the existing rate of taxation In Italy.

English Stockholders

TSe Erlo Railroad Riua-huAsc'y
Enslish stoclshoiders.
The English stockholders Of the Eris nan
road are watching With great deal OF anSle.,
the progress Of the efforts being made here 70
overthrow the present Erie Rs'lroad ring, and,
according to the HERALDs sreclai cao'e
despatch, they receive much consolation from
q report transmitted over the cable to London,
from their agent in New York, stating that the
Attorney General elect proposes In his
official capacity to break up the whole combl-
nation Of the Erie Ring without respect to per-
sons"
The Attorney General elect can only hope
to carry out his advertised good intentions
through the instrumentality Of the State Legls-
lature, and If the bona .tSde stockholders and
the public had only the State Capitol to
depend upon for q reformation In the manage
ment of the most important line Of traffic
between New York and the West, the prospect
before them would not be very promising. The
recent action of Judge Blatchford affords
much better ground for anticipating speedy
overthrow Of the present combination than is
furnished by the promises Of State officers
and State Legislature. Besides, the people
will desire to be protected from the simple
displacement Of one "ring" by another. 1t
just as necessary to guard against the plots
Of foreign stockholders, aided by few
designing and INSCRIPTIONS Americans, to
obtain control of the management of tho Eric
Railroad, as it is to labor for the overthrow Of
the present combination. Let US have reform
In the direction of this great artery Of COM
merce, so that 1t may be run, not as huge
stock jobbing machine, but in the interests Of
the people, and 1t will not matter whether the
relief comes from the United States Courts, or
from the Attorney General elect and the legis-
la!iye patriots at Albany. B9t Dc not Ley I'd
suffer the control of the road to pass Into the
hands Of Foreigners, or Of Americans who are
as notorious as tho famous Fisk himself ia rail-

official pronouncement Of threat Of military
retaliation against the inhabitants of the
French territory which has been hostaged to
Germany, on account of the perpetration of out
RACES on Prussian soldiers serving In the army
Of occupation, has excited France deeply. It
is just as we anticipated in the HERALD's COM
ments on the subject yesterday. France
writhes under the painful oppression of the
force Of the v0 victis. She breathes the spirit
of revenge. The national feeling is expressed
in the words, s'The silence of the vanquished
is the only fit reply to the insults of the
victors; river Of blood has divided u.s. we
(France) learn to suffer and to walt" A
nations wrath is always terrible; a warlike
people, pressed and struggling under the heel

very sad to contemplate. Europe may be on

THE POLICY OF THE New ONTARIO Gov
ERNMENT was yesterday explained In the
Legislature of the Province by the newly
elected Premier and Councillor Of State He
advised that the Provincial govern
ment should take neutral position in
regard to the Dominion governments that
there should be neither alliance nor
hostility. He maintained the necessity Of the
government having full control over the pub
lie funds that there should be reforms in the
courts Of law and equity, and that the scholastic
and other provincial institutions require their
attention.
