BIsMARCK's ULTIMATE AIM.
All this mutiiarious activity and hos.Hlty OF
Bismarck all over the globe is due according 10 me
Daily Necs. to Bismarck's desire to overthrow the
Gladstone Ministry and replace 1t by Govern
ment willing TO annex Egypt outright and so pave
the way Tor the accomplishment OF Bsmarcks own
schemes for the complete aggrandizement of Ger
many This story. if believed, Will surely
strengthen Mr. Gladstone. Engishmen will sooner
eondone the eravest errors of English Minister
than accept sounder policy at foreign dctaton.
LORD DERBY AT FAULT At ANGRA PEoUENA' :
Unhappily an adequate explanation of the con-
,iton of English affairs abroad can be found nearer
home where nirmity of vision and purpose has
long existed. The publication OF the Colonial once
papers relative to- Angra Pequena, meant as reply
10 the German white book, fails to supply even
Ministerial journals with plausible answer to Bis
marcks crushing indictment. Its sole effect Is to
saddle upon Lord Derby his rightiul share OF the
blame. before too exclusively allotted TO Lord
Granville; Lord Derby. with curious naiyete. con
Tossing that he had no idea Germany would annex,
if England did not. Never an English Minister
more unanimously condemned by his countrymen
RrFoRMiNG THE PEERS.
Lord Rosebery's circular letter to his fellow Peers
inviting them to say whether favorable to any, and
If so to what reform, is welcomed by the Liberals
who prefer reform to abolition. The Radicals op-
pose every proposition to improve the Up
per Chamber, fully intending to get rid of the
whole concern Critics agree that now if ever is
an opportunc moment to attempt to recoustitute
The House Of Lords on new basis.
