Pall Mall Garstts.) -It is enrions to observe the one of mar tyrdoon adopted by Mr. Gladstone with regard to Parliament. It mare: appear to euter big head that the diffinity to his found in passing hie trogenres may aries vither from some in- horent fanit in those measure or from the manner in which they have been brought for ward. The whole fault, in his opinion, rests with the Honso of Commons, and be seriously tells it that unless it mouds its way it must either "resouace its duties or recon- sider its zuiks." Its datics are not to op- pose Mr. Gladstone's wishes beyond a cer tain point, aud to fall in with bin inclinations na to the methed in which it shall condout Ita business. If it neglects these duties, now ralca must be made by which it will be forged inta obedience. Mr. Gladstone appears en tirely to forget that the House of Commons is a very old institution in this countrywit dates even before, Mr. Gladstone's birth. Other." statesmen have held the position ho now holds, and have found is quite possibla to conduct their business without falling foul of rules and regulations of the House, and calling for the alteration of those rules when their opera- tion has became inconvenient. It is possible that Mr. Gladstone may with the diminished. majority at his back be able to rivet on the minority the letters be dangles before thair Exces, but what he gains at one end he will loose at the other. His own followers, find. ing the Opposition disarmed, will to a cer tainly reroll at last from a despotism the like of which is unknown in parliamentary co words, and refuse to sterile the freedom of the Hunes to the whims and fauoies of an ephem oral power. Treubharý la more dangerous than open hostility, and alaves are apt to become very treacherous, and plot against their drivers without soraple. The lord wreck of the whip may drown their armor for the moment, but it will not remove the cause of their discontent, and Mr. Gladstone has quite enough to do to preserve discipline in his own camp without buaying himself with the teaties of his advermorshaat to Kin-name side, who after all szerely take advantage of his own internal weaknem.

The same journal very properly patats out that the Frenhindernity will not compensate the four business, as hitherto, under the game ptyle. private losses of Germany. The payment of it will impoverish the customers of Germany, and German industry will gain nothing di rectly, because the money will be largely used in replacing munitions of war, and otherwise assisting warlike operations. The German triumph is the far from analloyed, and as France has suffered far more it would ha diffoult indeed to moñsure the net suffering of the two belligerent.
