Ilie Canadîan Statesman WEDNE'SDAV, FEB. 19, 1896. NOTES ANVD COMflILTS. If the repart that Russ4a andi Turkey bave entered inta an offensive andi de- fensive alliance on the line, of the Un- kiar-Skelessi agreement is true, a new situation w iii have ben createt ini Europe. The latter agreement wvas mateienc 1833 betwe osa the Czar Nichoiars I. anti the Sultan M&bmoud Il., at a time when the latter founti himself through th-- defeat of his armieG by Ibrahim Pýa3ha anti the vlirtual destruc- tion of his fieet uât Navarino,, in diffi- cultias almost as great as thoo which besaýt the prsent sultan. It bounti the two signatories to assisi each other both ln the case, of external aggressiou and internal dange.rs, and considering ithe condition of Turkey at tbýe lime, amn- ounteti practically to ber reduction t0 the position of a vassai statýe. Indoed, iLn view of ber patent lnability to fui- fil ber part of thea mutual obligations, Ilussia w alved býer clamra to assistance on condition that the Dardanelles should ba closeti to the ývarsisips of ail nations whienever Russia should 'oat war. But Englanti andi France 4rotest eti 50vigor- otsly against this conversion of the Black Sea luto a Russian L.ake, with an outiet for Russia ships, but no entrance for the vessels of other powers, that the agreement w ns abandoneti, anti the old Ottoman ruleclosing the Dardanelles tot the warships of ail nations w-as again ac-1 cepteti. That an alliance on the lines1 of tbis agreement bas iaow been made la improbable, andi, intieed. is discredit- eti at the varions forelg-u offices, tbough it remains to be saiti that if it were truc, it would not ho admnitteti by eitherf of tise parties to it. The chief reason for tiaubt is the fact that the sultan lias haff led. the six powers a t every point, that he sits saféo la Yildiz, masterP of ail around hlmn, and able to defy thosen w ho senti hlm instructions, w ith im- C punity. a He, bas found alisolute safety in bis ahlity te play off tbe powers against each other, lu their inability to agree uponj a common policy ugaiast hlm, and. th'hr feur to aet save in concert; antih thlere is wje apparent tesson why he abouiti now- abandon a po1iry that bas9 proveti so useful, anti put himself ina charge of a single pow-er, anti that onea thc' rnost hostile to 'hlm' of thes all Possession of Constantinople anti of -an tutiet train th-, Black cea 10 the 1'7edi- service. If il liaefpecteti that he shahl preacl w itis spiritual energy, anti lav- ish thb, w lu of the spirit lu foilow ship witli bis people, lie must lie treateti otherwise than as a mere hireling. "The liard, comm'rcial way of looking at the pastorats-," says the Watchman, wich. i3 a Baptist organ, 'reacts nfavoralily bobli upon ministers anti churches; it ruina tise more delicate aspects of tho pastoral' relation." We feel sure that this remark must lie true; anti it le more satisfactory ce us than many other remiarls upon the sulijeoct presenteti by religious papers. In any ovont, the min- ister must live if leie l to prenai; anti it is tbe tiuty of thse people who engage bis services tc aste lb that lie is fair- ly paiti for them. -How much pay ." That la a question w-blch must ho de- bermineti by the parties. lu interest. The clergyman of one of the churclies of a large city recently tieliveretl a ser- mon in w-hidi ho scoldeti bis congroga- tion. for their failuro te support lim ia proper style. lie arguoti that bis sal- ary of $5,000 a year titi not represent the value of bis services, anti that it ought to 1)0 at least twice as much as that. lI-I tolti bis people that be coulti make. more mo'noy if ho were to tuke up some other business, and be spoke words of w-arning to, thein which. are saiti to have, lad an effect upon the authorities of bis churcli. This partie- ular preachler belongs to the, class known as *'scnsationalists," antiw-e in- fer fiýom what we bave houard about bis sermons that it -woult ho wehl for hlm te, look for a jobi outside of the pulpit, more especially if hliecan get higbier ps,' olsowhere. Withiu a few montha w-e have bat liews of two cases lu wbicb ministers1 lef t their churces bocauso of titesatis- faction w ith thcir salaries. There w-as one minister w-be gav e up preaching Co start a teer sahoon, lu whieb, as -we learn. frein tbe reports, he bas found prcsperity; andi there -%vas the other mînister who, gave up preaching 10oes- tuhuial, an undertaker's shop, lu w bhich, as the reports bave toit, he is ti-oing a Lirof itale business. But neither of Iliese minisiers hati an income of ý5,UUU a year, Ia truth, the salary of the first aman w as only $500, w hile. that of the other mnuw-as not any larger; aud lot h of I hein.

As wehave saiti, the linager is not a nexv oea, but tisat at the latter euti of the ninete,th ceneury international rela- tiens shoulti be greatly affecteti by the frenzy whidi tiominateti tha buccan- eers of the sixteenffh century ha not creditablB te civilization. The5 fact, iowever, must ho recognizeti, anti the C'hristian palpita of sîl countries cannot too urgentiy present to their bearers the dangers tiat meý-nace- those w-ho haste to lia rîch, anti the tiuty w-hicb the possession of riches imposas. The cirpense, deiay, anti vexation at- tendant upon proceedings ln the Eng- lish courts of law- bave long- been the theme of poets, isatirists, anti novel wnitera. 0f Jute years the evil bas ho- corne so intolerable that Englishmen, baving rlghbs te assert or wrongs to redress, nsually avoiti the tribunals andi seeli justice in arbibration or comprom- ise. Theý English law-yers, fiuding thoir busi ness falling off in consequence, are casting about them for a remedy. One of theai, w riting upon lie subjeet in thse Fortn!ghtly Review, ascerîs that il a eahofounti only lu appointiug more competent jutiges than thcsse w-ho now cccnpy the hench.

In spite of tihe prote.csts of tise counset for the defenti- a ho, hantieti both chieck- anti magnify- ing glass to the jury, anti thoy prompt- ly founti for Iie plaintif f.
