England, for Instance, has been pinching oft' of her stack sparingly, uud hy some subtle psychology reasons that the luck Is hound to. change. In the Hoot* war and In some other en tanglements, notably one with Mr. Na poleon Honapartc, England waited until till of the others who sat in the gauio had lost Interest, aud with u smart coup the Itrltivh royal straight "busted the bank." ? Apparently England has been slick ing to her old form of play, waiting and watching^ supposing that her pass | lylty would be regarded as impotency, ! uud hoping thus to catch the others napping and to settle the evening's seorcs on terms of her own making. England bus heeii wafting for what a distinguished statesman in South Car olina once called a "lallapaloosa" hand. The offer of (Ieriuany to make peace Is on its face fair and frank. We don't see how the allies can decline to enter into a discussion of it ulthoilgh they might reject the exact terms. The suggestion of (ieriuany might be sub ject to amendment.
