Prom the Timr.
The struggle over tin; Keform question in
England lias proiliu-eil extraordinary confu
sion in the ranks of the liiof political parties.
Individual memliers of rarliaiu-ut must find
it hard to say positively on which side they
really stand. The old-fashioned Tory squire
has been metamorphosed by the dexterous
hands of .Mr. Disrndi, and we now behold him
with a questionable cap of liberty on hid head
and red republican colors in his button-hnle.
Mr. (Jlailestoiie's breath has been so utterly
taken away by the rapidity and completeness
of the transformation, that lie has lost his
presence of mind, and half ruined his party
in consequence.
Mr. Disraeli proved too shrewd and expert
for him. He has profited by every mistake,
by every error of judgment, by every defect of
temper which the leader of the Opposition was
betrayed into. Never has the present Chan
cellor of the Exchequer displayed greater ver
satilityor alertness never has he madesogreat
an impression upon the House of Commons by
Lis speeches, always unrivalled in felicity of
expression and vigor of thought, but this year
distinguished by an intensity of power which
his enemies seldom gave him credit for. As
we heard by the mail the other day, he has ,
won in anoiuer stage 01 me great contest. A
majority of twenty-one in his favor, in a
crowded house, and in spite of all the ell'orts
of his practised adversary, is a victory of which
any leader of a party might well bo proud.
It ia impossible not to perceive, even at this
distance from the scene of contention, that the
result of the Reform debates thus far has been
moulded, in no small degree, by the personal
character and qualities of these two eminent
men Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Disraeli. Ac
cording as they have evinced a spirit of states
manship and wise forbearance, or been un
mindful of their responsibilities, they have
gained or lost influence with their foilowers.
lJut it ha9 happened that the larger propor
tion of mistakes have been committed by Mr.
Gladstone, and his wary opponent has seized
upon every one in an instant, and turned it to
good account. Able as Mr. Gladstone is,
there are many grave, almost fatal defects in
his organization, and not the least of them are
liis inability to discern what is the most mate
rial point in the controversy, and consequently
the one best worth lighting for, his tendency
to overwhelm every subject with a torrent of
words, and his utter want of command over
Lis temper.
He will take up a wrong issue, and stake
the fortunes of his party upon it. He did so
in the recent instance of the foolish "instruc
tion" to Mr. Coleridge, and he underwent the
mortification of seeing it withdrawn amid the
jeers of the whole House. His tongue runs
away with hiin whenever he speaks ou a great
question. He elaborates and re elaborates till
the minds of his hearers wander away from
him, although their ears are still pleased by
his eloquence. They listen, but he ceases to
convince. A slight incident a smile, for
instanco, on the face of Disraeli opposite,
or a stray ironical cheer sets him atlame
with anger. He becomes insolent and
arrogant towards the other .side, and these
are faults which the House of Commons is
ewift to resent. It is not so long ago that
Mr. Gladstone bitterly olfeuded his own party
by the contemptuous tone and haughty man
lier which he assumed when answering
questions as leader of the House. This ses
sion he began with better promise. He had
evidently set a guard upon his unruly mem
ler. He was studiously, sometimes almost
painfully, courteous and deferential to all.
lie listened to everybody's opinion, and honey
dropped from his mouth whenever he ad
dressed the Philistines. Sweet and pleasant
were his words, even when he attuned them
for his successor. Everybody began to think
that the House had, indeed, been well swept
and garnished. J Jut before the Liberals had
had time to render thanks for this mercy,
their eccentric leader turned round upon
them and began to rend them, and it was too
evident that many other spirits had entered
in worse than the first. He abused the Minis
try, and dictated to them what they should
do in terms which Mr. Disraeli afterwards
very happily mimicked. One night he
pledged his party to a course upon which he
had not consulted them, and which they were
not prepared to follow. He led them into the
mire in all directions. At last he conducted
them to sure defeat, and, if the telegraph is
to be trusted, he has resigned the leadershig
of the party. 15ut this we greatly doubt.
Things have not yet arrived at such a pass as
to require that step.
The relation in which Mr. Disraeli stands
towards the Reform question is too large a
subject to enter upon here, but it is perfectly
evident that he was placed in circumstances of
very great embarrassment, and that ho is
emerging from them with skill and credit.
He has had to force his party along a road
they were indisposed to travel. The con
servatives, as a body, were opposed to any
large measures of reform. Many of them
would have preferred to remain out (if ollice
until the question was settled. But they came
into power, and Mr. Disraeli, little by little,
brought them to the measure which is now
before the English Commons. There is no
reason to suppose that he does not honestly
believe it to be a sound and satisfactory solu
tion of the problem, for he has too much tact
to trifle with the opinion of England, and to
give the people a quack mixture, the ineflicacy
of which would be discovered as soon as it had
passed from his hands. There would be
another agitation, and in that Mr. Disraeli
and his party must hopelessly go down. On
the other hand, if he succeeds in devising a
good and suitable measure, he will, as Mr.
JJright told him, thoroughly establish his
fame. All the considerations naturally lead
him to try his utmost to accomplish the task
successfully. What, tln, is it that he is
attempting, and what are the prospects before
himf
In seeVmg to .irrive at conelusions upon
these points, we are met by many difficulties.
The Ministerial bill is being discussed ou theo
retical grounds. We do not believe that any
party understands precisely what will be the
lull effect of its working. The English press
is very much divided upon its merits. As our
reaueru nave oeen Informed, it proposes to
give the suflrage to every householder who
pays rates himself not through a landlord.
The tenant whose landlord pays the rates will
not get a vote; but it is contended, and we
believe justly contended, that, by an arrange
ment with the landlord, compound house
holders may easily transfer to themselves the
obligation of rates, and thus be admitted
to the franchise. The scheme may not be so
liberal as it looks; we require special
information and statistics Wore we can
form an accurate judgment upon that point;
but it Beema to aflord the materials out of
JTgE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY,
which a good bill may be shaped. We re
gard it as immensely more liberal than Mr.
Gladstone's plan, which is to confine reform
to a live pound suffrage. Why five pounds f
Why not four pounds or three pounds? What
principle is there iu affixing an arbitrary line,
especially after the experience of former fail
ures of tleatne kind? One proof that Mr.
Gladstone's policy is really a Tory one in
spirit is that pointed out by Mr. Roebuck,
namely, the advocacy it receives from Lord
Cnmborno, a seceding member of the Derby
Ministry, lie deserted his colleagues because
lie thoupM they were too radical, ami he takes
shelter behind the conservative, back of the
"indicn!" Air. uiaostoiio.
In all probability the bill will yet be con
siderably altered and amended before it be
comes l.sw. It has already consumed the
greater part of the session. The speeches
have been very long, and the practical result
very small. Mr. Gladstone has come out of
the encounter seriously damaged, and with
tbe coniidence of his party in him much
shaken. There are some people in the world who
explod:-, as it were, in numerous places at all
sorts of unexpected and inappropriate moments.
When everything seems to be going on well,
they go oil' suddenly with great violence,
throwing their friends into the air, disordering
their own plans, frustrating their own wishes,
and planting in onlookers the seeds of per
petual distrust. Mr. Gladstone appears to be
a man of that kind, and the feeling of inse
curity which the discovery of the fact inspires
is likely to mar the usefulness of his public
life.
I.tixemboiire Its Importance to Franco
The I'ofcltiou of Prussia.
From the Herald.
Luxembourg was exacted as one of the guar
antees for the peace of Europe when the powers
Mere in a temper to fancy that peace could
never be threatened by anybody but the great
disturber, l'rance. This alone indicates the
importance of the little scrap of territory to
the Government which now demands posses
sion of it. Indeed, while Luxembourg is in
the hands of her enemies, France is, to a cer
tain extent, under bonds to be civil, and it i?
her desire to be free from such restraint that
moves the present agitation. It is not a ques
tion of dominion; for there are less than a
thousand square miles, and less than two
hundred thousand inhabitants. It is a ques
tion of strategy, and, in that sense, of safety.
It is a question of a thorn in the side that
keeps one restless and wakeful; because any
chance may stir it and make it a cause of un
endurable evil.
Between Alsace and the sea, following down
the Rhine, there are three zones of country of
primary importance in view of any military
operation against France. They open ou the
Rhine at one end and into France at the other.
They are formed by the relation that the Menso
and Moselle bear to the Rhine. The first lies
between the Upper Rhine and the Moselle,
opening on the Rhine below Coblentz; the
second letween the Moselle and the Meuse, and
the third between the Meuse and the German
Ocean. In the latter zone lie such famous
points as Oudenarde, Namur, Ramilies, Ni
velles, .Temeppe, and Waterloo. It is because
the Netherlands lie so much in this division
that they became in so many wars against
France the "cockpit of Eurcjpe." But since
the days when the wars of the Spanish succes
sion, the republic, and the empire were fought
wvi oimuni ovn uiuo ui uiuii uisLrict, me in
troduction of railroads has made some modifi
cation of strategy. We have an illustration
of it here. Luxembourg lies in the middle
zone at the upper extremity of that zone
where the waters, of the Meuse and Mo
selle are nearest together as they rise in
Ardennes. It is not at all in the route of an
army marching to France by the lower Rhine,
yet by its rail communications it can com
mnnd any point on almost any line '
operation in that direction. It can by the
same means command all important points in
the upper zone, and the march of a foreign
army by the middle zone would not be feasible
if Luxembourg and a well-organized French
force were in the hands of an active and reso
lute commander.
But in the hands of the Prussians this im
portant scrap of territory is a foreign wedge
forced in at the vulnerable point of French
defense. This point in hostile hands, and
France lies almost naked to her foes. March
ing from the Prussian frontier by the middle
zone, they have an easy line to the Marue, and
the direct route to Paris, with no good defen
sive line between. It is obvious, therefore,
that France would never willingly have seen a
garrison of six thousand Prussians placed in
that vital fortress. Such a possession is to
her a constant reminder of the humiliation
that followed the dreadful days of Leipsio and
Waterloo. Prostrate before Europe, she had
to accept the law, not give it, and assent that
others should have the material guarantee
of a way to her heart. Prussia claims that
she holds the fortress by treaty right, mean
ing the treaty right given at Vienna that
treaty right by which there existed a German
Confederation, and which treaty right she
Emashed to atoms last summer. But Prussia,
though she lias obliterated so much of the
system then established, wishes to preserve
the advantages it gave her. She can hardly
expect that others should consent for her to
preserve what she pleases of a system de
stroyed by her, when that preservation must
bo at their expense. It has not escaped the
keen eye ruling in France that the destruction
of the treaties of 1815 has left Luxembourg
out of all the realms, and made it accessible
once more to its natural owner; and it is only
natural that Napoleon, in view of so much
European reconstruction, should demand and
require the reconstruction for France of a de
fensible frontier.
France, having once mooted this point, very
naturally hesitates to recede. It is a topic too
vitally important ever to have been started
until the determination had been reached to
carry it to a settlement by diplomacy, if pos
sible, or war, if absolutely necessary. That
was the French purpose. But it appears by a
cable despatch that the Emperor Napo
leon has signified his willingness to take part
in negotiations now in progress, and which are
likely to eventuate in the assemblage in Lon
don, some time in the month of May, of a
general conference of all the great powers of
Europe, having for its object the final settle
ment of the Luxembourg question. Another
despatch informs us that the Prussian Govern
ment has also signified its acceptance of the
proposition of the Queen of England for the
assemoung 01 such conterence, ana inai
King William is not averse to treating the
question on the basis of the neutralization of
the Grand Duchy. In the meantime it has
been agreed that the fortress in dispute shall
be dismantled.
Our Great National Heprotch-The la
Ulan War.
From Uif Herald.
The statement recently Dublished bv Mr.
Bogy, late Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
substantiates the view which we have all
along taken of our difficulties with the Indian
tribes and of the management of our Indian
affairs generally. According to his showing
the impending war is due, not to the unrea
sonable demands of the chiefs, nor yet to the
rapacity of the Government agents or trader,
upon whose shoulders the blame has been no
freely laid, but to mismanagement in Wash
ington. With the exception of a band of
Sioux, headed by a chief named Red Cloud,
there are really none of the tribes hostilely
disposed towards us. Even this chief, irri
tated as he is by bad treatment, could easily
have been kept quiet if a disposition had
been shown to conciliate them. lie is
represented to be mauly and honest, and
he has taken to arms simply because,
after repeated remonstrances with the
agents of the Government, he has been suffered
to acquire the conviction that nothing remains
for him and his followers but the alternative
of fighting or starving. He now serves as the
lender around whom all the malcontent spirits
of the other tribes rally. Mr. Bogy thinks it
would be easy to satisfy the requirements of
this chief and his tribe, and that it would bo a
much more humane and economical policy for
the Government to spend a few hundred thou
sand dollars in providing them with reserva
tions and cattle for stock-raising than to allow
itself to be involved iu a general Indian war,
which, if once started will, extend from the
Missouri river to the foot of the Rocky Moun
tains, and from the mouth of the Yellowstone
to and including Arizona and New Mexico,
costing, as he believes, many millions of dol
lars, thousands of lives, and the entire sus
pending ami perhaps destruction of the rail
roads now being built upon the Plains.
The expedition sent out under General Han
cock is, Mr. Bogy thinks, a great mistake.
All that was wanted was the sending of a
small number of men to the Yellowstone to
chastise the chief Red Cloud and his adhe
rents. The effect of the appearance of an
army of the magnitude of that under Gene
ral Hancock's orders will be to alarm all the
well-disposed tribes and render a general
war inevitable. These views, he says, he tried
months ago to impress upon the Government;
but no attention was paid to them. This he
attributes to the inihieiice of the Indian Bu
reau at Washington, where, he contends, have
originated the numerous frauds that have per
meated our Indian affairs, and that have cre
ated all our present difficulties. The head
ollice there, he asserts, is surrounded by a set
of heartless cormorants who care but little for
the consequences, provided tbeirrnnncitvis
satisfied. l!It2Jl'
In all this there is but too mucii uutn, ami
it is a melancholy reflection that, repeatedly as
it has been urged, it has failed In producing
any impression. If wo wage a war of general
extermination against the tribes and we do
not see what else is the result from Hancock's
expedition the world will, in view of these
statements, hold us responsible for blood un
necessarily shed, while the addition to our
public debt of the millions of dollars which
the war will cost will render such of us as are
insensible to the moral guilt ultimately con
vinced of its impolicy. It is not as yet too
late to retrace the steps that have conducted
us into such a criminal and dangerous error.
In the name of humanity and justice, let there
be no delay in backing out of it.
