MR. GLADSTONES Defence.

Mr.. Gladstone has the flue books to answer
as well as Sir Stafford Northcote. This is his
chief misfortune in the present debate. There
il no orator in the ranks of the Opposition who
can rival him in argumcntatiye subtlctics,
dignity of manner and lucldity of style. But
while he may succeed in silencng his critics and
in defeating the motion of ceDsure, he will in
eyitably fail to convince the present or any
future generation of Englishmen that his Adj
ministration has shown either courage, sagacity
or common prudence in its operations III the
Nile Valley. When the full text of his speech
arrives a week hence, we may find it a brilliant
and ingenious plea, with a crushing rcjoinder
to Sir Stafford NOrthcOtes argument in favor OF
British responsibility for portions of the Sou
dan. But the abstract given in the cable dis
matches conyinces us that the Prime Minister
has failed to make speech which can be read
side by side with the official dispatches IN the
blue books. He replied 20 his critics with char
acteristic energy and dlalectic skill, but he
could not argue away the facts.
The Prime Minister. for example, denied that
the Government had reason a year ago to sup
nose that General Gordon was In imminent
danger. and cOntended that it had not swcrved
from its covenant to send assistance to him.
The blue books contain n continuous record Of
appeals for aid from Khartoun AS soon as
General Gordon arrived in the city he asked for
troops, the appointment OF Zebehr, and the
adoption of a positive policy. On February
81. 1884, he requested the Government to send
200 British soldiers up the Nile, and during
the following month he repeated his despairina
appeals, urging first movement OF General
Woods forces to Berber by way OF Dongola
and subsequently an advance from Suakim. Or

TILE CENTRAL ASIAN QUESTION.

dispatch from Berlin states that Russia mas
arranged with Persia for the construction OF
military road from the Russian naval station OF
Ashurada, at the southeast corner OF the
Caspian, to Pcnjdeh. which lies In Afghan ter
ritory. At the same time The London Times has
information that the Russians are Advancing
upon Penjdeh, and that there is consequently
imminent danger of collision between them
and the Ameers troops. This news appears to be
confirmed by dispatch to the British Govern
ment from Sir Peter Lumsden, in char &c of the
Afghan Boundary Commission, who reports
that he has withdrawn from Baa Murghab
toward Hcrat, to avoid being entanglcd IN the
hostilities he believes to be unavoidable Lon

guilty of double dealing IN regard to Afghan

Asian policy Russia has for years talked one
way and acted another. 1t is now forty seven
years since she took possession of the island of

tests of Persia. Later on she concluded that

where.

The horrible story of tho three-tmes- repeated
failure to hang a murderer In England ought to
direct public attention. wherever the gallows Is In
use to the untrustworthlness of that method of
inhictiLg capital punishment. If u careful COLA
ton were made of all the of like failure which
have occurred in English speaking countries even
during the past twenty years. the record would
shock the least sensitive. Ii also the cases were
cited in which death on tho galows had resulted
from slow stranguation, tho nhumanity or the
pnpishmont would appear incOntestable. That It
is a clumsy, uncertain and therefore cruel mode OF
execution, experience shows concusively ana IL IL
NOT little remarkable THAT the Latin races should
have shown CHER civilization In ms matter
than the Anglo-Saxon. The Spanish garrote ana
the French gul0tine are certainty more mercliul
.han the galows for they destroy life, or at least
conscio usness, mstantaneOnsly, whereas the man
who il hanged imperfcctly may lnger for several
minutes undergoing the pain Of suffocation Inc
suggestion made by Governor Hill to the Legisa-
tarc of this State regarding capital punishment has
not "a yet been acted upon but suoh occurrences as
that mt Exeter should quicken the interest in the
proposed reform sufficiently to produce NJ least q
serious Investigation of the subject.
Perhaps il Is too much to expect that English
conservatism will give way even to such shock.
Fof many years complaint has been rife as'to the
mism auagelnent and consequent unnecessary
cruelty of English executions, yet nothing has been
done toward supersedng tho gallOws In tho
limited States however, there are no such excuses
for apathy or inacton. This country has from the
