THE formation of Tory ministry at this
time in Great Britain, although it cannot un-
do-what it has so violently opposed Mr.. Glad
stone for doing, may interrupt what Queen
Victoria calls ''the full prevalence of interna-
tional goodwill so far as it relates to the
United States. The Tories in England un-
der this same leadership did what they could
during the late war in this country to
strengthen the rebellion and insult the North.
They opposed tn, treaty of Washington in
the most bitter manner, and if that and the
Geneva award were nos already accomplished
facts, our relations with England would now
be hopelessly involved.

sp..,ees rom their oppressors, this policy
has at times seemed cowardly and selfish.
But it has been firmly adhered to. Our peo-
pie have felt that everything depended on the
perpetuity of this republic, AMI that to put it
in peril was to risk all. So we have remained
mere sympathetic spectators while tyrants
have worked their will. But the friends of
despotic government evidently begin TO lear
that prudence will not much longer demand
of the United States this strict neutrality.
They taxi fearful note of the eager welcome
and the prompt recognition given by us to
each new recruit to the democratic ranks.
They ear that we may soon feel that some
thing more than moral support may safely be
given to their own restless subjects, who clam
or for selfgovernment.
There have of late been several very signi-
fcant indications Of purpose on the part of
the more absolute governments to form NUT
ual insurance orgapiz cation. The meeting of
the En- perors of Prussia, Russia and Austria
at Berlin last year was one OF the strongest
of these indications Some after that meet
ing, Russia took occasion to warn M. Thers,
in the most peremptory manner, that France
would be held to strict accoun liability for
the radical democratic speeches of Gambetta
in the provinces. The message was designed
ly threatening and insulting in its terms, and
was notice through France to republicans
everywhere that democratic propagandism
would not be allowed. 1t is no wonder that
the iron despotism of Prussia, having formed
the league whose DEGREES Russia no doubt
was executing in giving the notice to Theirs
above referred to, should take alarm at Presi-
dent Grant ingenious exultation in the rap
id diffusion of republican principles. Such
an expression fom the Executive of forty
millions of lepublicans, IN the hearing of two
new republics that have dismissed their
hereditary rulers, must awaken serious refec-
tions in the minds of the adherents Of Caesar
ism. ..-- .--
It is perhaps a subject too fanciful for seri-
ous consideration, but it is curious to reflect
upon the probabilities Of success in case the
issue should now be fairly joined between
monarchical and popular governments, and if
the former should undertake to extirpate the
latter. On the one side would be the United
States, the republics Of Central and South
America, France, Spain and Switzerland.
On the other, all the monarchical powers Of
Europe. But the pop lar SIDE would labor
under an immense disadvantage from the un-
stable character of all but one of the govern
ment, supporting it. France and Spain have
to contend with strong factions of their own
people who would enrol themselves on the
side of royalty, while the most OF the South
American republics wouldbe sources of weak
ness rather than strength. Still there would
be great reason for thankfulness that the con-
fict did not take place hundred years ago
instead of now.
