iusist that merit and competency
shall be recognized instead Of party
subserviency, or the surrender of

Opinion OF the rhunderer >.

The papers are filed with rumors Of ag-
gressive movements both on the part of Rus
STA and England, and also for negotiations for
settlement of difference, but the London
Times says: While politicians believeor pretend
to believe, that there is prospect of peace,
commercial and financial circles, who have
powerful motives for forming opinions, care
to believe Russia is bent on forcing quarrel.
An emphatic indication that the position is
critical is afforded by LORD Dufferin's refer
ence to the attack on tho Afghans as unpro-
yoked. Russia is preparing for war on large
scale, without attempting to conceal the fact
It now appears beyond doubt that the Russian
government WINS appraised Of the Penjdah
