International Affairs.

Nations n-v*-r go out «f town ; his tory never makes holiday. Whatever " the weather or the season,the peoples of the world are always in deadly earnest. Politics are never out of fashion, and destiny never takes * rest. No sooner is China oat ot band — fora time—than the Tsar accept■ ; an invitation, to visit France, and statesmen leap of a sudden out of their slumberous hammocks and resanoe con sideration of how things stand. Just an the British Parliament-man hag reached the moors, and Mr Arthur Ba!four is careering about the country roads in a motor-car described by Lady Elcho as, although like himself fast, in reality trustworthy, Franca leaps forth in a litilo frenzy of joy at the promised visit of the Tsar, »nd pouts half-pleaaed at the pretty ? speeches of Germany, w.hi!e she shakes ' a threatening; fist at the Sultan of Turkey. In this holiday time, in f*Bt, Franc* it Jrtgbfc in front cf the world's stage, and It is accordingly worth while to consider the spec* tacle somewhat in detail. This pretty widow, who preserves all the graces of maidenhood, while employing | all the arts gained from a chequered matrimonial experience, manages her affairs with an exceeding belief in her self. It would puzzle the ordinary spectator, however, to explain the ex treme jubilation of the French people at the Tsar's acceptance of their Presi dent's invitation. What in essence U the Ruesiaji friendship, or alliance, worth to France ? What are the ob jects of France in the world* that this benevolent borrower should count for ao much? Compared with Germany or Russia, France does not seem to have any true life's work to perform. Set against the hard day labour of I Britain or the United States, the efforts of France ate as theatrical feata of strength. Her colonies are not colonies, but'costly settlements. Her desire for fresh acquisitions does not spring from the needs of her com merce or the increase cf her people, but from schemes of conquest and the glory of foreign rulo, . Her institutions have no fixity, there .is no centre of fealty to which all her activities turn for encouragement. The Army, the Ohurcb, and the Government seem ail separate thing?, bent on purposes of their own, despising the Republic, and careless of the v'tate. Anything at anytime may go into the neiting pot. There is no ono expression to embrace the French nation in a'l its diversity, no destiny that seems to call upon them irresistibly. What' has she in common with .Russia to produce so exceeding amiability? Kub?iauodeni ably has such a destiny, and is working it out— Ov-tlook
