GERMANY'S SARCASTIC SHEER


DrinA 10 London
The interest OF all Europe ccnters to-day in the
Timer leader Of yesterday, full abstract Of which
was forwarded by cable. The universal query is re-
gardns tho sources Of the inspiration under which
that remarkable article written How far does tho

the government The managers Of rival
Journals WHO have been accustomed TO sneer,
refer to "the waning power Of she Thunderer" have
seen to-day their statement completely nuhed. The
sad, abect position in which that one column OF
type puts England in the eyes Of all Europe makes
every in the metropolis tonight duly sensible Of

which their great coadjutor has expressed More
humiliatng yet, the journals OF the German capital
tell Engands newspaper that II must not expect Ger

GERMAxy DECLINES
That there may not be any mistake the extracts
The National Gazette Of Berlin, discussing
:
sThe power OF Germany neither gives her tho right
nor imposes her the duty Of placing her own peace
IN jeopardy for the advantage Of others" The North
German Gazette says that "The Times in It's article,
ignores the existence tho alliance OF tho three In
psria Powers" To ask, nay entrcat and be refused
that is too bad too pitiful.
THE EXCITEMENT IN PARIS.
The panic has communicated itself to Paris. Al
ready the atmosphere ripe for such epidemic.
n. Girardin has reused the fires in France by his
brilliant pamphlet "Eurcpe's Shame" may bc said
10 mark new point Of departure in French political
thought. NJ. de Girardin warmly advocates quad
ruple alliance between France, Russia Germany and
Italy, whose interests he considers identical.
Great Britain and Austria, on the other
hand, hc believes irrevocably committed 10
the maintenance Of the Ottoman Empire 10
It's integrity. He hopes for peaceful solution
OF tho pending difficulties, but should this prove i'm
possible he does shrink from the idea OF war; for
getting that conflict with England would probably
cost France her Algerian domnions ana the few
colonies that remain to her II. de Grardn further
advocates the expulsion OF the Turk from Europe aud

wonder what earth free trade has to do with the
Eastern question: and may possibly feel that France is
really kind in offering her set Of commercial prin-
ciplcs OF the value of which she far from satisfied
On these points NJ de Girardin is eloquent than
explicit but perhaps he had better be permitted to
speak for himself.
'.The old policy" he says ssthe little policy, tho
policy OF territorial parceng, the policy OF rivalry

Of Prince Bismarck il summed up in this word:-
The cartE.
''Tno now policy, the great policy. tho policy OF
maritime expansion the policy Of reciprocity, the
policy OF peace. the policy of Christopher Columbus
and OF Ferdinand dc Lesseps is summed up in this
word:-The sea-"
alter perusing such passage one can only applaud
and wonder the commentary Of ordinary mortals can
have place here.
THE PANIC N ENGLAND.
Returning 10 the sentiment in London, the Pail Nal
Gazette this afternoon has strong leader Russia
position. II says:-"we believe the Porto will and
pugnt TO regard the alternative demand for q short
Armsticc the proposal Of almost undisRuised bel

Power OF Europe adopt without loss OF sercs pect
and without the risk OF becoming the tool OF diplomatic
1ickery. We observe with profound regret that an
opposite course is advocated In language which is al
most the language OF panic" This is quiet sneer at
Me Times and It's trcmuious agitation over the
crisis Of affairs. Tho article continues: I'VE do

The Empire in his keeping, and 1t may be he thinks
