BuRNE's QUARREL WITH Mr.. BUCHANAN-THE
HOME RULE DEBATE.
jYRoN An OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUNEl
LONDON, July 6.-People are still in doubt
as 10 whether the cautious counses Of Lord Derby viii
prevail over those which generally understood to be
the Premers Mr.. Disrae's anxiety 10 keep from the
country ANYTHING in the shape Of statement OF BIS
policy can only arise from the fact that his Govern
ment has not yet made up its mind as to what that
policy is to be- In the of the short bat angry
debate OF Monday night Mr. Dsrae put forward his OLD
plea delay: See what the Sultan will o." but
he did promise the papers soon as they could DC
printed The only other circumstance worthy OF remark
IN connection with Dsraels observations is that he
sneered at the press, and warned the House against
forming any judgment upon what he was pleased to
term anonymous articles in the papers from our
own correspondence who prinklcd over all the cap
itas OF Europe" II the Government is slow In i2king
up mind what policy TO pursue beyond the pocy
OF waiting, the country is not quite so etharglc NIL
Bright in few short sentences IN the course OF TINS
same debate explained emphatcally what was thought
by his school politicians and he also gave an OPINION
which j. not without value, TO the general feeling OF
the country Mr. Bright plainly told the Government
that il their policy to maintain the integrity OF
Turkey the sacrifice Of British treasure and British
blood, me did not believe any considerable portion
OF the people would support them in it, If again the
policy OF the Government 10 give it's coultenance
even is moral support the Turk in opposition TO tie
efforts of some subjects of the Porte TO free them
selves from its mnion the country would not support
them the other hand the country would support
them in policy neutrality in that inevitable struggle
leaving be determined by the forces on lhe
spot So far as the immediate present concerned no
doubt Mr. Bright is right. The general run OF pubhc
feeling Is emphaticaly in favor Of neutrality. 1--WE
have nothing TO do but to maintain position OF perfect
neutrality1 saws The Times and The Daily Ncrs hopes
the assurances said to have been given by English
German and Austrian ambassadors at ConstaDtnope,
that the powers which they represent will be neutral III
the struggle will nc repeated without delay and in IN
equivOeal terms in London OF course there are some
people who that the OF the Christian popua
tons the nsurgent provinces is just TO demand
interference their behalf aud on the other hand the
Turk even has few friends left who would regard with
satisfaction an interference his behalf But these
sections are too small TO be worthy OF consideration
The bulk Of the people are waiting with anxiety 10
know in what light the Government regard the struggle
whether, as The Pal Mall Gazette and ihe MoFa'"g
Post are almost daily asserting the hand OF Russia is 10
be discovered behind all the present turmoil The Daily
Esus shares Mr. Brighs feeling that under cover o.
pledges Of neutrality may be slowly drifting INTO
war and may suddenly find ourselves in 1894 100 far
70 return aud thereby involved in war for wlnch we
would not willingly shed drop OF blood or expend
fsrthing Of treasure STILL the fear Of Russia has not
proved very formidable at present The Times says in
regard 10 il that the English people viii not allow them
selves be drawn into another Crmean war; N It's be
hef and Tie Telegraph quite enthusiastic on heha o.
the Gar whom SAYS from the first opening OF these
troubles has shown himself the enlightened friend Of
peace" There is meanwhile a steadily increasing,
perhaps prevailing. opinion that England has
had enough of Turkey and trying to patch her up and
that any power which takes her under Its wing viii have
but bad bargain and Of which Britain need net
envy it.
The English press has been unusually kind TO the
United States this year in its Fourth Of July artcs
suppose because il is Centennial year. Even The
Standard has sOftcned its animOsty and admits that the

bopeyed words however, few and far between and
The Standard could not lose the opportunity o. giving
Americans a lecture. The Declaration OF Independence
was, il says, war measure, like President Lincoln

of Indecndence probably immense majority OF Amer
leans would have voted against separation, ana, Ihe

The news OF the nomination OF Mr. Tiden has been
most favoraby and may say hopefully, received here
by the friends Of the Democrats. He considered be
yond compare the strongest man among the ST. Louis
candidates. but on the principle that the rvorite seldom
II ever wins at party conventions IN the United States, it
was hardly anticipated that he would DC the Democratic
choice The English papers ALL or almost all, have
something to say regarding the choice but they pay
more attention the platform than the man The Iacs
thinks that DR. TGen much OF his success to the
Reform party, who have given him thelf support Mr.
llidens services in crushing the coTuponsts OF the
state OF New-York have inspired nope that he may
have the win as well as the strength to take IN hand the
organized corruption Of Washington. 1T speaks GubOnSy
