will to man" was proclaimed, the La.
tins and the Greeks fought pretended
ly for key to, or a silver star within
the sanctuary, but really for a right
to take toll at the sacred entrance !;
has the Eastern question been go deli
cately balanced as at present. And
as IN old times one Church lid not
find fault because she was kept ont of
he sacred grotto, but because the
other was let in to worship; 80 row
the trouble with many Of the great
powers of Europe, is, not that Russia
has possession Of Turkey, but that
they do not share in that possession.
We are unable to see how the war thus
far has affected European interests.
AS we have before said, the growing
strength Of one power, even though
she be rival, gives no occasion for
trouble if she do not interfere with
those rights secured by common con-
sent to the other powers. The merits
or dement's of Russia in fighting the
Turk is not now the question. If she
was wrong in attacking the Turk, the
time to interfere was while it was be-
ing done, and not in fighting to share
in that Of which she has leen plum
dered. Let us for 4 moment examine
the position Of the two parties in Eng
land.
The Earl Of Derby is the represen-
tatlve OF one party. He resigned
when the fleet was ordered through
the Dardanelles. The fleet was order
ed to prevent what? Well size has
not found out herself yet. Does the
commander know what he is there
for? No one disturhs him because he
has no occasion to disturb any one {;
and when from his neglected stu alton
on the lone sea he looks upon the en-
tertainmcnt of feted Russians through
the bright windows of Constantirople
like an unlimited guest he can't give
an excuse for being there But Lord
Derby is told that Russia having con-
quered Turkey is now in a position to
control the sea. But when he SAYS 10
is grand to admire the growing
strength of a fair competitor, but base
ly dishonorable to be moved to q quar-
rel with her by low jealousy of her
strength Or prosperity, and before she
has in any way interfereI with any
interests affecting the other power or
powers, how can the good old man
be gainsaid? Is there any evidence
:, yet that now the Turkish kingdom is
in the hands Of Russia, that the rights
of the other powers will not be ss safe
in the hands of Russia as they have
heretofore been in the hands of the
Turk?
On the ether hand the war party
object to the clause in the treaty de-
fining the new boundaries of Bulgaria
which will lie under Russian Control
What if Russia does dwarf Servia, il
: she is content? AS we'll might Eng.
land complain that Austria, Russia
and Prussia had grown strong from
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Poland, and
bitterly complain that that once heroic
people who have become homogeneous
with the peoples who have absorbed
them, do not come out Of their lost
Identity and become cause Of war tc
: supply the absence Of any other. /
the whole Balkan Peninsula is merged
: IN the Russian possessions, and the
Turk chooses to exchange his crue
name, for one significant Of wisdom
In legislation, and glory in arms
