THE present strained relations between
England and Russia are but the natural out
come of the policy of conquest which the
" countries have so resoldtely pursued
in Asia. The natural ambition Of Russia
since the time of Peter the Great, has
been to drive the Turks from Europe,
and to cause their broad provinces to be
blended with the Russian empire. The
polite few have loneed for the day when
the possession of the imperial city
of Constantine would give Russia
command Of the Bosphorus and
the Dardanelles. The peasant millions
were eager 70 slaughter and extirpate the
MosIems, to free from thraldom their
brother Christians. England has ever
insisted on the maintenance Of the Otto
man empire, and her statesmen and
diplomatists have cherished the idea that
the rule Of the English in India is de-
pendent upon the stability Of the s~ultan's
dominions in Europe.
Russia, unable successfully to fight the
coalitions which England has raised
against her in Europe, has endeayored,
meanwhile, to secure n commanding posi-
ton in Asia, and to prevent England's
combination with Turkey through fear of a
Russian invasion Of India Why Russia
has seized upon the present as a favorable
opportunity to extend her boundaries in
Asia, is obvious. Just as she took adyan-
tage of the war between France and Prus-
STA, to refuse to be longer bound by the
treaty of Paris, so she is at present seek
ing to profit by England troubles in the
Soudan. She also remembers that the
Wing, or Liberal party, has ever been the
English peace party, and that since the
time Of the elder Pitt the wars in which
England has been engaged, have been
originated and conducted under tho au-
spices of the Tory or Conservative party.
It is not too much to say that were the
Tories in power, or Beaconsfeld alive,
Russia would have been content to pursue
her work of conquest by slower methods
and with greater eircumspection.
If the present complications lead
to war, England, we believe, win in
the end be successful. q Her immense
and ever augmenting wealth, her supre-
macy upon the sea. the well known cour-
age of her soldiers and seamen. make this
result n moral certainty. One assured
result of a declaration OF war would be the
downfall of the Gladstone ministry.
Gladstone has none Of the qualifications
ola great war minister, his very experience
and past record serving to dislualify him
for such a position; his opposition to war
in general as a brutal and un-Christian
occupation, being reinforced by his obieo-
ton, as a f~inancier, to the harm which war
inficts by its costliness.
With the car it Is different. BY the
sheer exigencies OF his inheritance, he
will, sooner OF later, be driven into a war
of conquest. There is a large. influential
war party among the mobiles of his realm,
who demand a war for the glory and pres
tige it promises to them and the Russian
empire. In such a war the government
chief. IL not only reliance will be upon the
religious fanaticism of its subjects, with
