Pence without England.

Turkey has made war without England,
and the apprehension that she will also
make peace without England rather troubles
the atmosphere of diplomatic London
They call this Exclusion from the councils
of Europe" and they attribute the DISPOSE
ton to make peace without any reference
whatever to London to the i'll will OF Russia
provoked by England's good wishes for
Turkey and her evident sympathy with that
Power. England has left Turkey to do her
own fighting and even to do England's
fighting, too; but if there is peace to be
made England's position is that she must
make it in order ia have guarantee that it
will respect her interests, and if her wishes
are not needed in this particular, and the
settlement is against her interests, she
must refuse to be bound by It. Every
cisely what it is proposed that England
should here do-that is, commit an act Of
war to right itself where it believes that
international interests have been settled to
its injury; but nations, though they claim
this right, do not always deem it polite to
exercise it. England also thought that
Russia's Reputation in 1870 of the Black
Sea clauses of the Treaty of Paris. was an
invasion Of her rights, and she had the
privilege to fight about it if she saw fit; but
after some grimaces she decided to keep her
temper Perhaps she will do the same now
if treaty is made that has the sanction
of Germany, Austria Italy, Russia and
Turkey. If such a treaty is made those
Powers will be bound to defend it, and
it would not be wise to violate it.
Wisdom of the kind that would respect
such treaty is one of Englands strong
points. The suggestion in regard to Eng
lands purchase OF the Turkish fleet involves
one of those pieces Of adroit cunning that
English organs would scourge as paltry and
contemplate if done by any other Power,
but which they will rub their hands over
as very clever if done by Englsnd. It
would prevent the Turkish navy falling into
the hands Of Russia as part of a war indem-
nifty; would supply the Sultan Immediately
with funds, but would leave his coasts de-
fenceless and perhaps give the Russians the
opportunity to use the Black Sea as line
OF supplies, for if the transfer is made it
must be made ere peace making is begun
that is, while the war is still under full head
way-and the removal of the fleet might
prove such an advantage to Russia as to
induce her to make demands that would
cover full equivalent for that fleet.
