The Dash Upon constan,inop,a

There may have been no official authority
for the story published yesterday that Emper-
or william had been one of party that dis
cussed the advisability of attacking Russia
before she should complete her preparations
of war. The significance of such discus
sion is Of course in the assumption that Rus
STA is really preparing for war. That such is
the case seems to be generally admitted In
Europe, although the same thing has been
admitted every year for some time. The
truth Is, probably, that Russia is always
preparing for war. For more than century
she has been endeavoring to possess herself
OF Constantinople. The longing of Russia
for this great outlet of her system of water
ways howtng into the Black Sea. is mich
IKE the longing Of the people of the West

outlet OF the Mississippi in the early DAYS of
this government. Manifest destiny" GER

trance to the Black Sea should 90 into the
possession of the great Power that hollis the
waters which it shuts in. But then we come
to the question. which Power? Shall II bo

Black Sea, or Austria, with the great com.

Dnieper flows into the Black Sea. and the
only way out OF the Black Sea is bv the
great town OF the Turks. Russia has settled

possess the Dardanelles, and she has WORKED
steadily to the accomplishment of this aim.
She tried 1t last in 1877-7S, and the Cossacks
reached San Stetano, a suburb Of CONSTANT
nople, on the Sea Of Marmora. They were
no sooner there than British fleet moved
through the Dardanelles and anchored Before
Constantinople. This was significant that
Russia had gone as far as she should be
allowed to go; and that very year by joint
action OF the powers, Russia was forced to
give up good share of the spols Of terrific
ry that she meant to take from Turkey. She
yielded sullenly to the superior power of the
rest OF Europe. and began preparing her
armies and fleets for another trial She has
ceen preparing ever since, constantly and
carefully. The military establishment that
came out OF the Turkish war much shattered
has been repaired and enlarged until 1t is

minister has accumulated great store of
gold; and the rest of Europe is now wonder
ing whether the blow is to fall now. or
whether 1t will be deferred a year or two.

the time Is nearly at hand. A Vienna dis

On the twelfth of next month Canadian
ENJOYS VIII be In Washington for an infor-
mai discussion with our government on the
question of reciprocal treaty between this
country and the Dominion. II will be rec
objected that the discussion was first ar
ranged for last spring, but for various rea-
sons was postponed to autumn. Unoues.
tlonably the origin of the proposed negotia-
lions Is to be found in the growing senti-
ment among the Canadian people for closer
commercial relations with this country. a
sentiment which Sir John A. Macdonald.
author though he was of what is known in
the Dominion as the National Policy, was
compelled to recognize aud to make conces-
sions, Ito some extent. Precisely what
Sir John had in mind to offer the United
States in the way Of reciprocal treaty last
spring was never known except to Sir John.
and very likely he had formulated no def
mite proposition. Without being grossly in.
consistent he could have offered nothing
very different from the last reciprocal treaty.
though OF course he could haveextended IL
somewhat along the old lines. But since
last spring a good many things have hap

conservatives still hold the government,

census has disclosed that for the last decade

cept In the way Of Increasing debts. where
1t has made rapid strides. The sentiment
for closer business relations with the United
States, which was strong last spring. has
doubtless grown much stronger with the
revelations of the census. and the strength
OF the government to withstand 1t has be-
come much weaker since the death of Sir
John macdonald. We may fairly expect.
therefore, that the Canadian ENJOYS will 90
to Washington in October disposed to make
much larger concessions in the way of recip-
rocal trade between the two countries than
would have been the case had they entered
upon negotiations last spring We do not
believe that they will limit their offer to
reciprocal trade in natural products. as
was apparently Sir John Macdonald's inten-
tion then. Whether they will be ready for
commercial union is questionable, but we can
be assured that they will be In a much more
conciliatory frame of mind than they would
have been last spring.
