BRaCONSFJFLD IND OPPOSITION

The debates in the British Parliament have
collapsed before they we're fairly begun. In
the Upper House, Lord Granville has been
half hearted and the Duke of Argyll absent.
The strongest arguments against the policy
of the Government have been brought forward
by discounted Conservatives like Lord Derby
and Lord CarnarVOn, or by Lord Lawrence,
who does not take any interest i'll party poll
tics; and after flourish of trumpets from
Lord BeacOnsfeld the resolution of censure
has been thrown out by an overwhelming
majority In the Commons the amendment
was offered by one OF the subaterns
aud not by recognized leader of the
Opposition, and the debate was virtually
opened by Radical, Mr. Chamber
lain. Mr. Forster has not been silent, but
some of his colleagues of the front rank have
been backward in facing the issue. Mr. Glad
stone seems to have been the only Liberal
who hash finChed. The interest in the de-
bate is already tagging, and the result is
foregone conclusion. The Government will
have the support of nearly tWO-thirds Of the
House. After the great cry raised over the
Afghan question there is very little wool for
the Liberals.
The functions Of an Opposition party are
well nigh suspended in time of war or at any
crisis in foreign relations. ElOquence, sagacity,
even Justice and common sense, 10 for moth
ing. A century ago the greatest men in
England, Chatham and Burke, led the
Opposition, and there was no one on the Min
isteral benches who could confront them in
debate and get how pOwerless they were to
avert war in America which they condemned
m advance as unwise and unjust! The OppO-
stion may be sober and discreet and never
lose its self-cOmmand, and yet as often as the
aims and methods of the Government fall
under It's criticism, ITS motives will be CON
dcmncd as unpatriOtic and its structures as ill
timed. At such times tho leaders must have
consummate tact, or they will find the
ground slipping away underneath them. Dur
ing the Crmcan War, Mr.. Dsraeli cOntrvcd
TO hold his party together, but the
Liberals during the last twelyemonth have
not been 80 fortunate. They made a bold
stand when the vOte.Of credit was proposed
late in January but in an hour Of panic, caused
by silly rumOr that the Russians had vio-
lated their pledges and were marching on
COnstantinOple, Mr.. Forster withdrew his
amendment, the party was split IN two and
feeble minority of Ia members was left to
measure the resistance to Lord Beaconsfeld's
policy. In the subsequent debates over the
call for the reserves, the transfer of the Sepoys
to Malta and the treaty-making prerogatiye.
the Opposition was badly handled. The lend
ers have eyinced very little nerve and no tact

full and free forgiveness. The Democratic
party, coming now into the partial tempo

up the other side Of the case, and discussing
the question whether the people who put

thing is certain they won't be forgiven unless
they promise never to do so again.

The Board of Trade and Transportation is
renewing its commendable effort to secure
the establishment Of a Board Of Railroad
Commissioners. and IN other ways to put
under proper control the great corporations
which have grown to be greater than the State
it,c.. 1t is not yet possible to say what hope
OF success there is for an effort that has so
often failed before. The lapse of every year
increases the necessity for an Intelligent
supervision of the railroads which shall give
the public, among other things, all the infOr-
mation concerning their workings to which 1t
Is entitled, but which is now withheld. Every
year increases, rather than dimInlshes. the
evils Of secret arrangements and yet II
would be an agreeable surprise to find the
coming Legislature disposed to be indie
pendent OF corporations.
As a rule, Just when the country is on the
point of forming a good opinion of Congress,
there is some outbreak of delegated foolish
ness TO prevent the completion Of that unac-
CustOmed process. 1t is certainly little dis
CUuraging 10 find House of Representatives
which had exhibited tendency recently to
behave itself, actually passing bill to
regulate Interstate commerce Of the
nature of that carried through yesterday.
It is, in substance, nothing more nor less than
the so-called pro rata freight bill which
makes its appearance every year in most
State capitals as a means of striking u"
corporations. 1t will not do to expect too much
of House that gave handsome majority
vote to the crazy silver bills of the other day;
but the country can hardly help beng startled
mt the evidence OF Congressional ignorance
contained in the passage of bill to
prevent railroads from charging less for
long distances than for shorter. Granger
legislators, whose homes are in the setting sun,
found out the folly of that sort of thing long
ago. But our National pride needs periodical
Christening, and no doubt this vote in the
lower House of Congress was intended to re-
mind us of the duty of humility.

consequence of this hesitation was that

Reports of towns flooded and bridges swept
away still come from many places on the track
of the great storm. Places on the Hudson
and Susquehanna have suffered more or
less severely, but the greatest damage
appears to have been in the COnnecti-
cut velley, where factories aud mill-dams
have been greatly damaged. The water Is
falling at many points, and, except
where bridges have been undermined,
the period of greatest danger is per-
haps past. The storm visited NoyaScotla

vance of it, and put mariners on their guard

A FEW TRANSACTIONS IN FLORIDA.
sPECIMENs oF ANOrHRR CIPHER TRANsLATED


Those who have carefully followed the course OF
the cipher disclosures aware that there are many
dispatches which have never been published. Some,
though curious enough in themselves, Were omitted
from TIE TRBUNE's narrative because the case v IS
complete without chem. and they would only OBJ
struct the story. Others related TO transactions OF
which we had not discovered the full bearings.
Among the kilograms belonging to this latter class
are the communications winch passed between the
local politicians in Florida. Several are found ID

each letter IN this cipher was not substitute for
another letter. because double Characterization ex-
ample CO. PIP. w, IA, mn, IS, etcoccurred too fire.
