resists her in every place where she sup

growth. She spares not money, in
trigues, calumny or ~endeavor. She en-.
courages treason in Bokhsra, aud unin.
terruptedly extends arms and ammuni.
ton to the Turks, against whom Russia
wages war in defense Of the d%owntrodden
Christians; she covers them with tents,
transports them in her ships, builds their
fortresses, directs their guns, digs their
trenches, plans their campaigns, pays
their debts, %applauds them, whispers
into their ears promises OF victory and
alliance, and through her press, tribune
and diplomacy defends them before in
dignant Europsl Turkey is only an au,
tomaton animated by the breath anG
spirit Of England!

British Policy.
the Editor Of the Ledger:

10 tne EuitOr OF the IeQg3f:
Your correspondent, "Briton," says:
American papers seem to delight in
accusing England of se~lfshness," and
asks, II would like to know what all the
powers Of Europe are doing, if they are
ses leaking after their own interests?"
No doubt it is the right and the duty Of
the English government to look after
British interests, aud nobody would can
plain if this were done honestly. But
wherever England looks after her inter
esls sbe commits either robbery or per.
fdy. We all remember her late out.
rageous steal of the Transvaal Republic
by which she simply meant to take care
Of her interests 10 Africa; and about her
recent perGdy Turkey could unfold a
tale and thereby point to a moral. En.
gland. by not joining the great powers
at the beginning Of the conflict, and as.
surfing the porte Of her sympathy aud
friendship, forced Turkey into this war,
knowing very well that, no matter how
the var ended, the resources Of Turkey
would be crippled, and that she would be
forced either into the cyms of her con.
qasror or Of her pretended friend. The
possibility of Turkey preferring the
m%agnauimity Of her hereditary enemy
10 the friendly advice OF friendly England
did Of course never enter into the head
Of the British premier. As long as the
Russian arms met with reverses, En-.
gland looked on very coolly, but after
the fall of Kars sbs commenced and
kept M to this day her game of bluff.
This is John Bulls fsyorite game, which
is we'll understood in Europe, and | pTe.
