ENGLAND AND TURKEN-RUSSIA
AND EUROPE.

Below we give a speech by one of
the ablest of English statesmen, the
Marquis of Salisbury, delivered dur
ing the debate upon the "Queen's
speech" in the British House of
Peers. Our main purpose in doing
so is to further establish the position
we maintained last week against
nearly ali our contemporaries that
the English Government did not
lead Turkey into the war and was
not bound in honor to see her safe
out of it. Most of the foreign drti-
cleS we have read from the COM
mencement of this war seem to have
been constructed upon the principle
that it signifies very little what you
say about European affairs provided
you BLACKBOARD England sufficient
Iy, and on this matter of England's
relation to the present complications
in the East the application of this
principle seems to be more than
usually bareEaced. Virtually our
contemporaries say 10 that Govern
ment, "You are q treacherous cow
ard if you don't take a hand in
this fight; YOU are a meddlesOme
bully if you do" Surely something
a little more rational than this bal
derdash would be acceptable to en-
quiring readers, who will perceive
from Lord Salisbury's speech that,
should England against her desires
be drawn into this struggle, it will
not be in consequence of any claims
which the Turkish Government may
have upon her, but in pursuance Of
her own claims to be heard in the
new settlement that must now be
made in the regions which were
lately the seat of war.
Sir Stafford Northcote in n recent
speech has graphically described the
present state of things by saying
''the keystone of Southern Europe
has fallen out" The regions and
nationalities bounded by the Dan
ube. the Adriatic and the Archipel-
ago are the UolGssoirs which have
been disIeoated and scattered by the
falling in of this keystone. All
these regions have been long the
subject of international treaties,
many of which are still in force,
and, however unreasonable it may |
appear to our contemporaries, we
have never for a moment contem-
Mated it as possible that the recon- |

THE LATEST FROM EUROPE.

The news prior to Thursday was
that all the powers who had signed
the treaty of Paris except Russia haa
agreed to a conference of the sigma
tories of the treaty of Paris at either
Vienna or Paris, and that Russia
had signified her willingness, bnt
preferred some other city. On the
arrival of Thursdays mail, however,
all this was set aside by the start
ling announcement that the Russian
army is IN possession OF C01astG'ltino-
pie. This announcement is not Off
cial, but the general unanimity of
the London press renders it certain
that there is some truth in 1t. OF
this there can be no doubt, that if
any portion of the Russian army is
in Constantinople, it is with the con-

A correspondent Of the Rural New
Yorker says:
Does such and such crop pay, or
does such kind of crop pay? has
become a standing query. Now,
pay is the difference between a GER
tain amount of outlay and certain
amount of income, and it is only.
when the income is greater that it Is
said to pay. In all investments on
a farm it is very necessary to hold
the money outlay in check and
make up the deficiency with extra
care and brains. The slipshod mode
of management so common never
pays. and all "slipshoddiesn-
coin a new word-say that nothing
pays, and it is only from that class
that we hear the cry, farming
don't pay" A careful man makes
everything pay; he bestows care
upon every operation, and during
every moment of that operation his
mind is totally given to his business,
which he conceives to be to produce
the best possible article. 1t is not
the crop or stock that with some
does not pay; it is the man that
does not pay {attention understood,
as we used to say in our parsing les
SOM. The fact is, when anything
on farm doesn't pay it is because
it has no chance.
The moment man finds that his
labor doesn't pay let him increase
the amount of outlay in that line ;
that is to say, let him increase his
capital by the addition of brains,
care, perseverance and courage, and
the pay will come.
Producing great quantity of a
thing overstocks the market; hut
producing a high quality always in
creases the number of buyers. The
market is short, the price runs up,
and then sit pays"

bic lords opposite towards that Pow.
er. ! heartily and deeply sympa-
thiZe with the subject races in the
East; but do differ from the noble
duke in this-I believe that this
war has accumulated into nine short
months more misery than would
result from generations of Turkish
government. (Hear, hear.) True it
is that war is the only ultimate cure
for obstinate mlsgoYernment but
war is righteous or unrighteOus
according as it is OppOrtune or
inOppOrtune and when there is no
Power to direct it to a speedy and
successful issue, and when the
crimes or vices against which it is
directed are not so great as to pro-
duGe utter paralysis and reckless
ness. then the remedy is OFTEN d
hundred times worse that the dis
ease. The noble duke is not salts
fed without driving the Turks from
every inch of ground in Europe.
(The Duke of Agyll.--N0t the
Turks, but the Turkish Government
ment.) Well, if you hold that policy
you will reduce them to absolute
desperation. Hear, hear.) That is
the message conveyed TO them by
the noble duke. A word or two
now as to whether we have melted
the Turks, Undoubtedly we had
difficult and complicated duty to
perform, and this complicated duty
arose from the circumstance that
England was already party to
Treaties and that we had In past
times pursued a policy of which the
maintenance of the Turkish Empire
was the life and soul. That time
had passed. Opinion had changed,
and events had proved that the
homes formerly INDUCED in We're
not founded upon any basis of fact
and the people of this country and
the Government, recognizing the
circumstance, were aware that it
was no longer their duty to sustain
