COL. STANLEY REVIEWS THE SITUATION.
The Right Hon. Col. P. Frederick A.
Stanley, Secretary OF State for the War
Department, in remarkable speech dcliv-
cred yesterday denounced the action OF the
opposition to Her Majesty's Government
under the leadership of Mr.. Gladstone,
Mr.. Chamberlain, Mr.. Bright and other
Radical politicians as grossly unpardona-
sle and unpatriotic
He said that Her Majestys Government
believed there was every prospect OF a
speedy return of peace in the colonies, and
that there was almost n certainty of an I'M
mediate increase Of trade and of return
Of general prosperity. #
The attempts on the part of the opposi-
ton to make capital against the Govern
ment by reason of events which have oc-
Cured in Africa and Afghan and of the
depressed condition of business and indus
trv at home did not, in Colonel Stanley's
opinion, have their origin in patriotic de-
sires, but were aetuated wholly by a wish
to bring those who We're conducting this
agitation again into power.
Colonel Stanley added that, with respect
o Irish affairs, he believed that the present
threa9s Of disorder there will soon exhaust
themselves, and that the good sense of the
Irish people would lead them to wait pa
tiently until next session of Parliament,
when the Irish University question and
necessary reforms in the Irish land laws
would, in all probability, be satisfactorily
adjusted. Both these questions, Colonel
Stanley stated, were at this moment in a
lair way OF settlement
