tacks Gladstone this morning, and says of his |
soeech: "Tne House of Commons listened
with b4ted breath for his contribution to the
great controversy, and some prophetic glimpse
into the future. He speaks two and half
hours and occupies seven columns Of our space.
He carr. es his hearers rresstably down to-
rem of brilliant oratory, but when all is over
and we have time to breathe, 20 What does it
all amount? With few exceptions, to nothing
but prolonged invective against the pres
ent ministry. Scarcely anything they
have done or said escapes de-
nunciation. Peace has been made, but
no thanks TO them. They have pref, rred servi-
tude to freedom: have pretended to defend the
public law and have really betrayed it; have
made conventions, violated existing treaties.
brought into question an important perogatiye
OF the crown, discredlted us abroad, and
weakened us at home. But who are those
plenipotentiaries whom he denounces with this
unmitigated. unrelieved censure? They are not
merely Lords Beaconsfeld and Salisbury;
they are the represen tatives of England
before Europe and the world. Their
work, when ratified, is the work of England.
They have not usurped power over an unwill-
ing people. Gladstone himself admits they
command the approval OF the mass OF then
Ccuntrymen. There are other persons in the
world besides Beaconsheld, and larger questions
at stake than that OF the conduct OF the minis
try in the details of the prolonged negotiation.
We regret 10 say it, but the whole tenor of
Gladstone3 speech. as much by what it con-
/ tanned as by what it omittet, was inconsistent
with craftsmanship or generous patriotism, and
he must proportionately forfeit his claim to
the attention of his cuuntrymen this great
issue

COMPLAINT FROM SALISBURY.
Lord Salisbury in receivinga deputation of
southeast Lancashire Conservatives, who con-
rratulated him the success of his mission
to Berlin and invited him to Manchester, said
S,he did not object to having the governments
policy submitted to searching criticism, but
explained that while their policy was subject
to acrimonious crsticisn in the house of
m ms, the protocols which record the work of
the pleniputcutiaries passed the house of lords
without Comment that the plcnipotentiaries
lave opportunity to explain them, though
they alone are able to do 50 mluutely.
CARNARvoN RAMPANT.
In the house of lords to-day Lord Carnarvon,
attacking Lord Beaconsfield asked an explain
n.ion of the latters remark regarding the
formers retirement from the cabinet. He said
If Lord Beacousteld meant to say he (Carn-
aryon) at the moment of difficulty and danger
fIncnea from what he had pledged himself to
do, he must absolutely deny such state
ment.
Lord Beaconsield, in reply, pointed out that
Lord C.trnarvon assented to the policy en-
bodied in the circullr, stating that the ques-
ton OF the possession Oh Cunstantinople in
volved British interests and that when the
Russians were approaching Constantinople
Loru OArnarvon refused to concur in ord ring
up the British fleet. The subject was then
dropped.
