Clouds In the Kr rope an sky. The remarkable religious oontro veray now waging in England is fol lo sTnd by oew phenomena. There were, for instance, two or three ap patently harmless despatches Boattered through onr European news culumns, yesterday, which will bear a second consideration in the view of the Man ning-QladBtone war. The temper of the European mind is so uncertain, there are bo many angry conditions in the relations of the States, and this re religions question assumes auch promi? nence, that it is wise to consider criti? cally the slightest indication of the temper of the times. Thus we have the word of Disraeli, as told in "Lo thair" and repeated in many speeches, that we are on the eve of a great orisis. So we oannot study the signs too closely. We observe that Priooe GortBobakoff has arrived in Berlin and has had interviews with Bismarck antl the Emperor. Fricee Gortsobakoff is one of the most distinguished of liv? ing statesmen; before the rise of Bis? marck he was a leading statesman of Europe. He is now seventy-six years of age. and people naturally usk what leads him in his old age to take an in? clement winter journey from St. Pe? tersburg to Berlin. This is a natural question, one that cannot be ashed without uneasiness. Accordingly the telegraph gives ns a reply. "Frinoe Gortsobakoff has discussed proposals for the revision of the Busso-German customs regulations for the benefit of commerce and international inter? course." In other words, the tele? graph asks us to believe that Prince Gortsobakoff has actually come to Ber? lin npon a cold November errand, that oould have been as well performed by a consul-general or an under secretary of State, to talk about salt and beer and hay and floor 111 We pass to Paris and we flud that a newspaper as calm and respected as the Journal des Debate has been making I a severe attack upon Mr. Disraeli "for his disclaimer that his recent Guildhall epeeoh referred to the Von Arnim case." The Journal says: "Mr. Dis? raeli has simply apologized to Prince Bismarck for his offensive utterances. It is apparent from this inoident of Mr. Disraeli's apology that England in her turn has been invaded. The Prime Minister can no longer speak without submitting to censure from Berlin." A criticism of this nature from a jour? nal of the standing of the Journal des Debats means a great deal. And we can learn the value put npon these cri? ticisms in Germany when we remem? ber the concluding words of the epeeoh addressed to the German Fariiament by the Emperor William. Royal ora? tors are generally vague in their speeches, and to find the royal mean? ing we are compelled to read between the lines. The Emperor's exact words are as follows: "I know myself to be free from all tempting thoughts to employ the united power of the em? pire for other than defensive purposes. Conscious of tho power at>onr disposal my Government can afford to pass over in eilenoe the suspicions unjustly oast npon their polioy. Not until the malice and party passions to whose attacks we are exposed proceed from words to no? tions shall we resent thorn. Iu such an event the whole nation and its princes will join me in defending onr honor aud rights." This is a declara? tion the ruoro we read it the more me? nacing it appears. Why should a great Emperor oare particularly ubout the criticisms of foreign journals? What has Germany to fear that the old King should brandish his sword in the face of Europe? What power "attacks" his imperial policy? Is it France, or Austria, or Russia? It would seem to u? ?hat Germany bus boon treated with remarkable cordiality and forbearance by the other powers. England saw the partition of Denmark without a move? ment. France yielded toSudowa with a simple protest. Russia stood with drawn sword to prevent any inter? ference in tho mutilation of Franoe. Germany has had the utmost indulg? ence from Europe. She has gained greet advantages; bat victory, us in the case of Napoleon, seems to have taught the Emperor simply arrogance. He does not propose to pause iu bis career, and the problem now in all European minds is, "Where will he strike?" Is it not also a sad comment upon the civilization of oar blazing, boastful century to see a groat monarch and tho head of a great empire wuutonly in? voking the spirit of war? Germany has bad thron wars in ten years, and we should think that even the martial spirit of a Hohenzolleru would bei satisfied. The nnensiufBs occasioned by a speech like this from the Emperor, and the prodigious spread of this reli? gious flame, would explain tho visit of toe Imperial Ohuucelior to Berlin. It is not the first sign of unrest that Rus? sia has shown. The whole Brussels Conferonoe tnovemcment was an ap? peal for peace, or for such modifica? tions in the actual doing of war that strife would loso its terrors. This j Brussels Conference was, in some re epects, a romantic idea?an effort to adjust all the hard ami brutal condi? tions of war to tho conditions of mo? dern civilization. But tho fact that u martial power like Russia should be? come so suddenly anxious to deprive war of its terrors and to modify inter? national law iu the interests of belli gerouts, shown that iu the mind of the ?zar the business of belligerency is not at au und. In addition to this, there have been ugly homo symptoms in Russia. This "socialist conspira? cy," about which we have so many guarded despatches, would seem to be a marked indication of morbid na? tional health. Russia, empire and ab Bolutism as it is, contains as many vol? canic elements as France. Those who have studied that extraordinary nation closely, its habits, traditions, ambi BY J. A. SBLBY. COLI tions, ita difference in nationality, re? ligion and race, the hundred antago? nistic elements thut have ueeu wuiuuu together under the iron rale of the Czar?German and Pole, Tartar and Cussaok?Will understand how even Russia would respond to the spirit of obango which for the past fifty years has been moving to and fro over tbo nations of the world While Russia "suppresses sooiulistn" all England is oommeii'iug upon the fact that tho Prince of Wales has been receiving honors from u Republican Mayor of the radioal oity of Birming? ham. This Mayor, Mr. Chamberlain, is known to be one of the advanced English Republicans. The Prince of Wales'came to visit the oity, and of course the Mayor would be called upon to do him honor. Evou as staid a journal as the Times compares the meeting to that of Potion with Loais XVI. Other newspapers not so re? served wonder because the Mayor re? ceived the Priuoelike a gentleman and did not strike from tho shoulder or cry "Live the Republic." This is a small event, but it is very significant. Eng? land begins to look upon Republican? ism us a fact in the monarchy, a prin? ciple of political action. The trades unions und other labor movements have great strength. They aro rich iu money, and men, and organization. Every year adds to their strength. No longer the docile support of crown and caste, like tho caryatides thut support tho splendid edifice, silent, suffering, unresponsive, only to stand und die, that ancient and false system* should exist iu nndimiuished spleudor, tho poople feel that they have rights us well as the descendants of tho free booting Stuart and Plantagenet. From St. Petersburg to Birmingham, wher? ever we look wo see troubled waters. Danish nod Polish und Roman and Eistern questions, Spain and France nuder the mailed bund of armed ad? venturers, who represent neither that "grace uf God" which comes with a orown, nor that still higher grace which comes from the will of the peo? ple. The Commune in Paris, tbo Io traasigentes in Madrid, the TJltramon tanes in Berlin, the Socialists in St. Petersburg, the Republicans in Lon? don, all these wo see and have seen. Truly the European sky is in angry mood?shooting flames here and there and lightning flashes, and tho ominous thunder that comes from the far-dis? tant canopies of heaven or the far-hid? den caverns of tbo earth. What does it all mean? A proud Emperor brandishing his sword, and elements of disturbance everywhere. As if to add to the complication here is the mightiest religious controversy that bus been known since the time of Luther, and not unlike that of Luther; for Germany and England have again grappled with the power of Rome. All this time Germany and Prance are arming every able-bodied citizen, and even bidding tho old men to be ready to defend their homes. Europe is an armed oamp. The sword is the sign that is 6oon in tho Heavens. No won? der the venerable Russian Chancellor shoold take a long and dreary winter journey to seo what it means; to try if peace cannot be preserved; to avoid, if possible, the tremendous shock that seems so swiftly coming. As our venerable and illustrious fellow-oitizen, Mr. Bryant, said the other day, he could remember the time when Na? poleon was First Consul, and when no events seemed more distant than the downfall of the Bonaparte Empire, the abolition of the temporal powor, the unification of Germany and the emancipation of the slaves and the serfs. But in his life be has witnessed the fruition of all, and now, in bis venerable, honored and sunny old sge, he sees the coming of even greater events. Like DTsraeli, he sees thut the world is on the eve of o momentous crisis?one of those events that give a a monumental grandeur to the age. It is uot for us to speculate npon the nature of this crisis or the tremendous consequences it may involve. But we can well understand how (J-?rtschakoff and Bismarck, and those whose trude is the service of kings, would sit iu anxious thought ue they looked upon these clouds which float, black and threatening, over the Euiopenu sky, and wonder whether tho monarchy will ride the storm, and whether the time is uot at hand which Napoluou predicted at St. Helena, when Europe would be Republican or Cossack. Civilization has made the Cossack al? ternative impossible, but how about the Republican??New York Herald. ? --? ? - A f ii"t is worth a thousand statements, To Rent.
