Ioxpnv. March 25.-"The great thing IN states
manship," said Mr. Dsraeh not many day5 ago "is
imsriuation, and the want Of It is the reason why
most men fail IN public lifc." But the English are
beginning TO think IA Minister may have too much
as well as too little imagination. and that in Mr..
DisraeHs case some Of it might advantaeeousiy be
replaced by sound common sense ard sohdity Of
conviction. The angry roar Of criticism and de-
punclation which fills The Liberal and Independent
press is but An echo of that which is heard every
where among almost all classes Of people,
in private and in public, ana which found
uttcrancc IL the House Thursday IL
language seldom used and still more seldom
tolerated in Parliament. The feelings Of the coun-
Try aged by tie Royal Titles bill and by tile
way in which il is supported. The most conecrra-
tive and the most radical OF Eus.i>Lmen agree for
once. The typical Tory Of England is Alr Henley,
and Mir Henley walked ont of tie House or Thurs
day night rather than vote for the third reading OF
the bill. Al the other end Of the political scale Il
Mr. Cowen Of Newcastle whose ardent attack upon
Parliament, and lifted him at once TO the rank Of
celebrity Ii you turn to the Press, the most con-
servatlve iourna-I use the word in its real
not III its political seuse-is Tic Times; and TIE Times
has resisted this measure at every step with de-
termination that grows more energetic with every
defeat. I Will not dwell on what l. SAID by such
papers As The Doy Aers ard The SpecctOr for, indie
pendent as they are, they would, on the whole, be
reckoned among supporters Of the Liberal party.

The Iy0miacr and The UttkIy Dbpc'ch-two weekly
papers written with brilliant ability. whose Radi-
calism almost amounts 20 EeTubHcanlsm. They
might naturally welcome this Empress title for It's
plain tendency to weaken the links which bind
mems affections to an ancient Throne. But they do
not They b0th dislike it and oppose it. The Dis
patch points out that spite Of iir DsTaeIs extored
pledges Empress is likely in few year, to super
sede Queen at home as well az in India, and so de-
stroy the old associations which strengthen royalty,
md saws: Thus the bold innovation Of Empress
can only be supported by reformer, and We fancy
that few OF " would care 20 be refonners in such
CASE 1t is not often that Minister succeeds in
enlisting SO universal an opposition TO a proposal III
trinsically 20 unimportant as the present.
Stin he has carried the bill through the House.
The majority for ii on Thursday was reduced from
100 10 -, but Is exceeds 10y % tho normal Con-
scryative majority, and the vote was light one.
No division was expected. 1t was Mr.. Disraelis
speech which brought 1t on-a speech in which ho
first defended his bill with fippant nonsense, and
then with arguments which might have led mp
TO declaration Of war with Russia The Queen
ought to be Empress because .he has already been
called 80 in school geography and a popular
almanac. And she ought TO be Empress because
Russia is threatening England in India, aud Russia
is ruled by al Emperor and the way to prevent this
monarcl'5 encroachments is to give tie Queen All
equal title 1t is hard TO say which of these state
meuts smacks 1uost of saw-dust and spanglcs. Mr.
Lowe went to the verge Of Parliamentary license
when he described the Prime Minister as " noehing
the House with miserable friyoiity and driyelne.
But 10 attempt was made 70 call him order. The
House felt chat the words were just
These are ofenses against the sentiments. and arc
resented accordingly. But resentment oi this aiud
though more general, s nothing 20 the rage and fury
Of that part Of the public which has suffered IL

with MIR. Cave, report on the finances Of Egypt
That report has been days ia England, and the
Government has twice been questioned about il ia
the House l don't recollect whether any distinct
pledge Of It's publication was ever given, hut il has
alwsys been taken for granted that 10 would De pub

But on Thursday night MF. Disrael told the House
the Khediyc did not want the report made public

wa. taken to mean that Mr Caves account Is I'M
favorable; a panic eusued and "Ecypts' opened
next morning on the Stock Exchange with "a fall Of
G-from G3 10 81. And the wort OF 1t is that the
contents Of MI Caves report are believed TO be
known 10 certain groups Of spectators IN Cairo,
Paris and London. The facts probably leaked cut
through the Khedivo, who is himself one OF the
largest spectators IN ms own bones. Holders Of
them VINO have lost mons. however. don't stop TO
reason. They hold Mr. Disraeli responsible, and hls
WIS certainly the best cuIsed on al the Bourses
Of Europe yesterday.
Then there has been the Talsnau case, into which
will not enter further than 10 say that the Govern
ment has coutriYed 10 crcate an impression that 1t
has allowed Peru to maltrcat English suijects-ah

Government To be suspected of lnkewar1nness in
such case is what the strongest Government can
i'll afford.
