Sarru, editor of tho Philadelphia cas, and widely known asthe Chairman of the Third-Term Convention in Now York in February, 1880, has been on a visitto New York City. 11s means of In- forinition concerning the intentions of the President ought to be large; and he says that Mr, Binine will be Inylted and urged to re- main fn the Cabinet. A wiser step for the Administration could not be taken, though it may be doubted whether Mr. Blaine would accept the Invitation, however mueh It ainight be pressed. Such seems at lenst to bo the opinion of Mr. Sinith, who Intimates that the diMleulty will be rather in Inducing him te remain than in obtaining the hearty acquiescence of President: Arthur's friends In his retention. Mr Cian ‘Tur senior Chieago organ of Conkilng and the spolls system Is dispused to sneer at the good advice which Tn 'Trimuxe has tendered, from thne to tUme, tv the Presl- dent of the United States. With the anerrlng Justinet of a spoils-hunter, the organ in ques ton Lins been on tha scent of offices for two weeks at le or, to be more speeliie, ever since the 19th day of September. . It seems to Imagine, moreover, that the resident will be swayed by the counsels of sycophants and toudies rather than by the Independent ex- pressions of opinion of newspapors that ask no favors, but do represent the people, and have messages of haportunce fram them to communicate to the Clilef Magistrate of the Nation. We have a better idea of the President than this, ‘Tue ‘Trmuxp be- Heves him to be “capable of seolne through the slat friendships of the spolls-hunters, and getting nt the true sentl- wmentof the people, In any ease, good nue vice can’t hurt him, fle ts under no com- pulsion to act upon ft if he doesn't choose to do so, ‘Thue will very speedily demonstrate whether It fs good or not. But we should bo slneerely sorry fora President who depended fiyon a svoils-huntiug organ for honest re- ports of publle oplnions, All such supports will prove, tu the hour of trial, to be but broken reeds, ‘Tue law's delays in this State avo striking: ly exemplified In the cuse of John Lamb, whose trial on a charge of burglary Is to beagln today. ‘The erlne for whieh he Is to. be tried was connnitted three years ago yos- terday. An Incident of the burgtary was the murder of Policeman Race, and for that murder Lamb has once been tried, convicted, and sentenced to ba hanged. A new trial has been ordered, and will shortly be called for; but the Stato's-Attorney, for good and sufll- elent reasons, has chosen to try the burglary ease first, In which a verdict of guilty may easily be obtained, leaving the more diteult auestlon of murder to ba ctetermined after- wards, ‘Tho history of the engo isone long record of procrastination, quibbling, and de Jay. Race wis Iied Oct. 4, 1873, Lamb ‘was indicted for murder In November, 1873; tried in March, 2870; found gullty March 8, 1879; and sentenced tobe hunged April 5, 187%, An application for n supersedpas was wiude to the Supreme Court, and ‘granted fn June of the same year, The court did not dally decide the case until September, 1680, or a year and three mouths after it had taken jurisdiction, One Judge died; one was part of the thay In Europe; threo were in favor of anew trial; threo opposed to it; and one oidu't know his own mind. ‘The testimony was reviewed three times, Finally it was Guclded that Lamb, though engaged in the commission of a felony which resulted tn murder, was not clearly proven to have fired the fatal shot, ‘The court held that murder was not a necessary sequences of the felony, and xo gave Lamb anew trink "The case was redocketet In April of this year (188i); a ehange of venue was applied for in June, and it finally comes tu trial, perhaps, in October, ‘The possibility of ‘conviction has heen very much diminished by the de- cision of the Supreme Court; and, though there ts no reasonable doubt that Lamb held the pistol and fived’ the shot whieh resulted In the death of Officer Race, it is extremely probable that he will get off with aterm in the State's Prison for burglary. With such examples of the eelerity of the administra- tlon of Justies tn Lfnols fresh in the minds of the people, it ls possible to view with some charity the action of the: mob at Blooming. ton, which put one red-handed murderer forever beyond the reach of supersedenses, Is May Inst ‘Pres Truss called attention to the shameful abuses of the straw-ball sys- fem In this county, and urged the State's Attorney to do hls whole duty tn the prem ises. We aro bound to say that Mr. Mills re- sponded in a proper spirit to this demand, aud nt his instance bonds to the amount of $50,000 were declared forfelted, and exceu- tlons on aceount of them placed in the Sherifl’s hands. It is now stated that none of these executlons, or but one or two, have been satisfied. When they were first given to the Sheriff he asked the County Hoard to {ndemmilfy iu against the possibilty of toss In making levies and advertising. The Board promptly agreed to do so by resolution, ‘The whole responsibility for the tallure to bring the bondsmen to time therefore rests upon tho Sherif, If he has not Balliffs who can hunt down the delinquents he should: find others who ean, Every forfelted ball- bond, it should be remembered, represents 0 mlsearringe of justice, amounting usually to the'eseape of nerlminal. ‘The business of contributing to this end should bo made so risky and expensive that no responsible per- gon will care to engnge Init, 1f the execu tions are pressed with diligence anda record keptot the delinquencles, the practice will soon be broken up. In any event, © com- forlable sum will be brought into the County ‘Trensury, and part of the enormous expense of keeping up the criminal courts bo thereby. defrayed, By the blundering stupidity of an outside reporter the action of the West Park Com- missioners was misrepresented—making tho Commissioners refuse to change tho name of Central to Garfield Park, wherens exactly the opposit was done: Commissioner Bronock moved that tha namo of ContralLark be changed to that of Garileld ark. Commdssioncr Carter doubted tho right of the bourd to change names, And tho Secretary was entled bye to produco preecdents, flo stated originally the three west parke— Humboldt, Con- tral, and Dougins—bad been called North, Con~ tral, nnd South Parks respectively, and that the North and South had teen changed to Hum: poldt and Douglas by tho board. Central up to the present remained unchanged, ‘The resolution was then unanimously adopted. ‘he South Park Cunmnissioners, as the people learned with some astonish- ment a few days ago, had: conferred the name Jackson (Stonewall) on the Enst Park, Hence the Central Park of tho West Side system was the only large one left without a distinctive name. It is, fortunately, well auapted to bear the name of Garfield, being the most accessible of all the parks, with the exception of Lincoln Park, and having a large area, improved and unimproved. ‘Ihe propriety of conferring the name of Stone wall Jackson upon the largest of all tho parks Ig more open to question; and up to this time tho State-soverelgnty Democratic Commissioners of the South Parks, ap- pointed by State-supremacy Judges, are tho only persons who have been forcibly struck by the fitness of the christening. Tho peo- plo of Hyde Park, we are not surprised to learn, viewed It with very moderate enthusi- asm, for the name Is not cuphontus of itself, nor was thera any suflictent reason why Adams and Madison, to say nothing of Ham- ton and Franklin, should be jumped over todo honor to Stonewall, ‘Tue star-route prosecutions are bound to cone toa lume and impotent conclusion If there ig not perfect harmony among tho counsel retained for the Government. We do not seo how this end can cortalnly bo at- talned without the dismissal of District-At- torney Corkhill, Ho has been openly ace cused of treachery to the cause. Hs failure to secure an Indictment at the Inst session of the grand jury, when the statute of Iinita- tions was coming into operation before the noxt regular session would oceur, was an in excusable blunder, No good Inwyer could overlook the statute of tmitations In such a case. Corkhilt’s negligence was either willful and erlminal or it was proof of his ineompe- tency for tho position he now occupies, Eithor way, he should pay the penalty for it, which ought to be prompt dismissal from oflee. It 1s not falr to the eminent Inwyers engaged in these cases that they should be compelled to keep one eye upon Corkhill and another upon the prosecution ahead of them, Thera ought to be no apprehension of a fire In the rear, and no lukewarm advocates In tho front, After what has tnken place it will be impossible to repose tnipllelt caniidence in tho integrity and Intelligenea of Corkhill in other cases that the Government may have to try In the Distriet. ‘The local achulaistration of Justices In Washington Is notoriously loose and Inefticient, ‘The sympathy of the Jurles nuutot the Inferior court oficials 13 atimost Invarlably with persons accused of fraud upon the Government, whieh Is regarded as acommon prey. When a flagrant breach of duty is noted, asin the matter of tha star: route prosecutions, an example ought to be mado. of the offender, A good test of tho sincerity of the Administration in carrying forward these trints will ba tho disposition made of Corkhill! Tun Garileld Ropublleans of Now York havo learned by bitter, experience to look with suspicion upon the outeries of the spoila-hunting machine for “harmony,”* “conelltation,? and “anaderation.”? Tho machine never wants “harmony,” except when It 1s whipped and knows it, When it hus a majority, or can make one, it glves no quarter, It then belloves In “chugging” {ls opponents to the wall, ‘The change in its) program seems to have been contemporaneous with the discovery thatthe muchine was likely to Jose its position of “chugger,” and speedily. accupy the less fayored situation of un “chuggee”” Whattho deniand for harmony” may amount to It is dificult at this distance to comprehend, It seems to mean that the majority may have the umply honor of nominating a numbor of third-rate State officers if they will leave the ninurity in undisturbed possession of tha machine, and espeelally neglect fo rip open and abolish the abominable distrlet associn- Hons which have denied to seven-elghths of ali the Stepublicans In the elly any repre- sentation in tho primarics, ‘That this view of the propused “harmony” arrangement is not prejudiced or distorted will fully appear from the following In the dispatches of yesterday? ; Tho machiue nen aro talking about harmony. Finding thomseclves fairly beaten, they are will- Ing to concede thy right of the nafority to rule, providing tho majority in uo way iuterferes with the wtutue of the inuching, When thie subject {a moutioned the Conkling men aagert that they will uot submit to avy Buch insults, The talk of recognizing tho party In the city is one of the things which the minority says it will not sub- mitto. It is eortuln, however, to Lo brought before the convention, Lf this ts what “ harmony’? means it is tho most generous proposition heard of since the memorable division of the turkey and the buzzard between the white man and the Indian, If the Garteld Republicans get hold of tho convention and do not reform the State Commitico aud the aystem of repre: sentation in New York City they will earn the contempt not only of thelr “ harmont- ous” opponents, but of their constituents nt home and their friends in other States. ‘The fight is against tho machine, not for © nin ber of inferlor State oftces.. GROWING SCARCIIY OF GOLD IN THE + WORLD. Emite do Laveleye, the ‘eminent French writer on financlal matters, publishes in the Tntcrnattonal Revtew for October an article on the “Future of Gold? ‘The article em- bodies a great collection of facts, Including whatis known of the history of gold produc. Hon inall ages and countries, When the gold allscoverles were made in Californiaand Aus- traila, and those countries were sending thelr $8t70,000,000 of gold annually into the mar kets of the world, Chevalier and Cobden raised the alarm that the world world be submerged with gold, ‘This was about 1950, 1n 1860, goldyproduction having diminished, the London Eeonumist stated that "the present annual supply of — $150,000,000 of gold fs no more thin. siflicient to meet the maquirements of tho ¢: panding commerce of the world." In 1871, after Gorninny bad decided to demonetize silver, the same paper stated the anmal sup. ply ot gold to be only $100,000,000, and poluted out thatthe German polley would: cause a severe strain upon the stock of gold oh hand, ‘The danger foreseen Is now at hand, Silver has been demonetized, and the stock of mon- ey inthe world is now only fed by gold, the production of gold continues to dimluish, and of that produced the United States has for three years retalned the whole product of the Ameriean mines. ‘The annual pro- duetion of gold now fs less Mian $100,000,000, audits foreign colnage is now practically suspended. M. de Laveleya says that “It Is clearly. evident that these circumstances untted— viz.: the proseription of silver, the decrease in the produetion of gold, and the dralning of gold to Amerien—have led to an apprecia- tion of gould, » fallin prices, and to the pres- enterisiy, xs the Inevitable consequence of monetary contraction’? . F Using the valuable work of Dr. Suess, the German author, the writer examines the probabilities of further discoverles of gold. ‘The discovery of fresh countries fs often the eduse of an influx of gold; the old countries have completely ceased producing gold, and It is only in regions yet unexplored that there van be hope lo diseuver fresh velns. Iistory records the finding and production of gold in asia beginning at an carly date, but, the sources of ihis stpply closed in the Middle ages. Jn time the European gold mines wore exhausted, After the «discovery of America the Spanish possesslons yielded much gold, but no more gold is ylelded from these purts now. From 1500 to 1875 the pro- duetion of gol inSouth America was nearly $1,100,000,000, ‘Lhe alluylum beds haying been exhausted, the working of the veins was begun, but with no profit, and the an- nual product has fallen to less than $1,000,- 000, Among Ue gold-producing countries of ancient times Africa took high rank, but the richness In gold of the African continent. Isa thing of the past. It yields to-day about $1,200,000 n yenr, though since 1495 Africa, it is estimated, has produced 500,000,000 of gold. 'The threo important centres of production atthe present time ure Siverin, the United States, and Australia, In Siberia the product since 1809 has averaged about $27,000,000 a year, In the United States the produc- ton has decrensed rapidiy; Montana, in 1806, produced $18,000,000 of gold; now it does not exceed $2,500,000, Fron 18 to 1871, Idaho produced aumually over $5,000,- 000, and Jn 1880 Its product was $510,000, Oregon and Washington had declined 7% per cent in their guld production.” Californin has passed through the three habitual pe- tiods of gold production; (1) ‘Tho washing of tho river sands; (2) the superficial washings; and (3) the excayation of the “deep leads” and velns, and the annunl production Is now from $15,000,000 to $17,000,000, ‘The tetal gold production of the United States amounted in 1878to $47,200,107, in 1879 to $38,900,000, and §n 1880 to $34,000,000, In Australia the production of gold has followed the course ot California, The yearly average from 1850 to 1860 was 360,000,000; In 18791t had fallen to 27,000,000. Large amounts of the Australian gold are used In the dentings with China and Japan, and much of it Is absorbed in do- mnestic uses. The story is everywhero the same, Tho abundance of gold 1 obtained from the deep alluyluin, and when this has been exhausted, and need requires the excavation of the deep Jeads and velns, the production ceases to bo profitable, and ench dollar found costs two. dollars to find it, M. do Laveleye says: From ali theso facts Dr, Suess conctudes that. the desire to make everywhere gold the only coinuge, to the excision of sliver, Is pure mad- ness, Geology opposes it, There ‘docs not exist dn tho world gold enough for that purpose, The true money metal fs sliver, Locke was right in iver {a the instrament and measure of cou o In all the elvilized and trading purta of the world’: and Laseehot expressed the. Kame opinion betore the Silver Coumission of sid (Question It * Silver is the normal cure roncy uf tho world,’ ‘The total quantity of thls metal produced since the disvovory of Ameriea In 1402 Ly estinmted at $7,000,000,0007 Of this quantity perhaps £5,000,000,000 remain in the form of mmaney and ornaments, Mr, Loebeer asserts that there exists hs mpney in civilized coun- tries (excluding India and the extreme East) $1,350,000,000 of gold and §2,100,000,000 of allver, Up to 1873 tho world’s currency was suppliad by gold and silver united equaling $175,000,000 annually, but itis now kept up alone by the $100,000,000 of gold, ‘Trade consumes probably $00,000,000 an- nually, Manufactures and the arts require $10,000,000 nunually tn the United States, and an equal sin fs constmed for te same purpose in France, and as much in England, mnaking $80,000,000 In these three countries, Initia takes between $10,000,000 and $25,000,- 000 every year; the remainder fs what Js left for coinage. The entire goll product of the United States is less than 7 cents per head. of the population of this country, ‘The entire an- nual product of gold throughout the world, putthyg It at $100,000,000, 1s only equal to about seven cents per head of the world’s population, From thts annual supply of gold ohe-third must be dedueted for other purposes, luaving tho’ amount to be used for monoy at not exceeding flve cents per head, M, de Laveloya thus concludes his papor, which Is one of the most Interesting and Ine structive contributions to the discussions of monetary atfalrs: Liven supposing that the absorption of gold by Atwerica will auditouly stop—und It ainounted ta Peete to 875, TEBOW, arid fay 1bA)-L68) to But, 050, or for theus two years Genrly 3H mitlions steriing, thut iv the third of all tho gold coin of England—it fa beyond all doubt that If aliver re- tuulne proseribed there will not be gold enough for the Inonetary and iudustrial uses of Europe, Already, ut tho. very monient these ines aro written, the goid scarcity begins tu be seriously: felt on the woney marker. ‘The Stock Exebungo fa looking with abxluty to every withdrawal of motal from the bank,” What the late Mr, Bago hot used to call *apprebeusion pulnt" le very J ueur, Soon the soutiment of Uylog under the wal fene of Jacking the breathing air of comterce—i, ¢., of tha means of exehange—will beenme Intolorable, long before tho exhaustion of tho gold washings predicted by Dr. Suess will bo realized, It becomes every day moro evident that the dream of Hater Alone us tintverant hones tt romere thipossiviity.

Arthar two years ngo, ant reproduced yesterday in. Uw cole wan of Tne Tn Col. Biss 1s one of President Arthur's oldest and best frientts. His letter ts not so important becanse ft shows thatonly two years ago Col, Bliss ree- oguized Gen, Arthur as the “ Hoss” of the Now York City machine and hetd hin re- aponsibie for {ts nbuses ns It is for ity de seription of the machine methods in that city. ‘There.is nu evidence that Gen. Arthur ever spoke the word which Col, JHiss believed to be all that was necessary to accomplish the desired reforms. It ts certain that the meth- ods have not been elanged, and Col, Diss’ letter Is as applicable today ns It was when written two years ago. ‘The machino m Now York City consists of A number of Distriet Associations which Manage and contro! the Republican pri- martes, ‘Tho plan was orlginated ostensibly with the purpose of enabling Republicans to control thelr ewn affairs, and to exclude the Interference of Democratte outstders, and stop the voting of hlrerl repenters at the Ree publican primaries. ‘The constitution gov erning these clubs or associations requires thatevery Republican voter stiall be adinit- ted upon application; that the names of such voters shall be enrolled; that the rolls shall be perlodically revised In order to prevent such frauds a8 might arise from the continu- nnev of men who had removed from the dis- triet, who had died, or gone over to the Dem- ocrats; and also that these rolls shall be open to Ingpection, In order to guard against the use of fictitious names, Col, Bliss, In Is let- ter to Gen, Arthur, points out that all these provisions hnve been grossly vielated. Republican yolers who were not obedient to the mandates of tho controlling clique were dropped ont of the assvelations, if they had become mem- bers, and thelr mames inysteitously disap peared fromthe relly, In case such persons had not been members but desired to Join the association, they found tt inpossible to secure consideration of thelr applications, and were thus excluded from voting at the Republican primaries, The rolls were nob regularly revised nor kept open tu inspection. When some of the lists were unearther, it was found that they contained names of many men who were dead and numerous others who had Jong since removed from the district In which they wero registered, The minions of the ring were voting at the pri- martes under the allases of these dead or re- moved members. In one caso elted by Col. Bliss, where an associntlon had 600 names enrolled, about one-half the notices sent to their addresses were returned because no such persons were known at tho plnces designated. In ono | district where the Republican vote was tho smallest thera were more names cn- rolled for voting at tho primaries than in any other district in the eity except ane, A favorlt device for preventing refractory members from voting at the primaries was to send them notices by mail too Inte for those members to recelve them, and to refuse their votes when tendered . without such notices, ‘The Republican strength of tho elty in 1870 was about 75,000, Tho rolls of the “machine” only contained 13,135 names, and more than half of them were bogus. Col. Bliss says that of the 75,000 Re- publicans In the efty not moro that 6,000 or 7,000 of them wero permitted to be enrolled or take part in the primaries or the business of tha party. No system was evor devisdd that was so eloverly adapted to giving over the control of the primaries into the hands of a corrupt, unserupulous clique, Col. Biss’ protest two years: ago met with no response, Gen, Arthur, when questloned abont it, refused to reply to it, So far ag is known, he never made any effort to correct the shameful abuses pointed out, ‘Lho recent primary clectlons in New York City wero held under the suspices of theso sume rotten clubs, governed by thesamo ras- cally methods which were described by Col. Bilss, ‘This Js the reason why Conkling del- egates will be able to misrepresent the Re- publicans of New York City in tho Stato Convention which meets today.. Thera are 81,000 Republican voters In the city, but the entire delegation to the State Convention of that elty was elected by the votes of only 4,000 persons. In this manner ut least 77,000 yoters were excluded. *Whethor the 4.000 who voted were all Republicans or not is necessarily © matter of wnecertainty, How many of them were hired retainers of the Conkling faction, voting under the names of dead omen and non-residents, no one can tell, Gen, Anson McCook, the only Republican inember ‘of Con- gress from New York Clty, was denied the privilege of voting in his own precinet, elther becausn he was nota meimber of one of those close corporations or becnuss his name had been fraudulently dropped from the lst, Under such conditions, the Conk- Hng delegates In the State Convention from tha Clty of New York cannot by any streteh of justica ba regarded as representing tho Republican party of that city, ‘The Indications aro that; notwithstanding the fraudulent capture of the Naw York City delegation, Conkling and his friends will be {nn hopeless intnority in the State Conven- tlow, Ifthls shall prove to be the ense, tho State Convention ouglit to sinash this In- fernal machine, 15 ts a swladle upon tho lass of Republiegus in New York City and an injustice to the Republieans In the rest of tho State. RAISING THE BLOCKADE IN CORN. It seems probable that tho action of the Directors of the Board of ‘frade in regard to the basis for margins on November corn will prove to be the beginning of a break-up in tho corner and blockade, And it fs about thne, Right on the edge of winter wo hive now in store in this elty nearly nine mulion bushels of corn, besides rather Jurgo auantittes of other grain. ‘The corn hus kept piling up here-nearly one and a half million bushels belug added to our stock during lust weuk alonv—because the price had been jackscrowed here far above ashipping basis. {6 may be accepted asa compliment to Chicago that alot of specu- lutors In Wall stregt have bid up the price of No, 3 corn tn this elty to 76 cents por bushel, while none of them were willing to- pay more thin about Ty cents for it laid down in New York, But like some other compll- ments, there is 8 sorlous Inconventence ut- tunding It, Of course no ono would want to ship corn under such conditions, even if he could obtain transportation for nothing, The consequences are really disustroug, Nutonly have wo so nearly reached the flNog-up potnt that our elevator propristors are ar- ranging for the use of other storage room, and a company of merchants has been formed with (he samo end in view, but our carrying trade has been prostrated by tho block, and other branches of commerce seriously him pered, Only Inst weele several vessels left New York in ballust for the Mediterranean Deevauae they coal And ne grain cargoes to carry neross the Atlante, Much of our lake marine tins been forced to ie {dle just at the the when ibshould be fully vecupted. Sallors and stevedores are unnble to carn bread for thelr tauilies Ina nnd of plenty. Only.the steamers are carrying grain ‘enst- ward now, and they take It as balinst. Of course If vessels ate kept from moving to the East they cannot bring conl here; and if rallroud cars shoukt be unable to: discharge gtaln here they could not carry lumber aud other merehaniise to the country. ‘Tho list has been seriously threatoned by recent events, though that pliase of tho difficulty is not reached quite yet.

As the Sneetator says: “France would not allow England to occupy Egypt, nor would En- ghind allow France.” And tt might have added that the jealousy of the two Powers Is so tntenso that they could not occupy tt Jolutly, France could not allow Turkey to ocetpy It, because that would be an adiis- sion that the Sultan ts tho head of the Arab people, nnd England could not allow it be- enuse she lins assumed ns a principle of her policy that the Sultan 1s unworthy to rule, 'fo disband the Egyptlan army was a danger- ous step, because the revenues could not be collected without It, not to mention the dan- gers of Invasion If Egypt were left without defense, Sos temporary arrangement was patched up by which Chorlf Pasha, an old friend of tho late Khedive, accepted office, and the army oMicers agreed to leave Catro— returning, of course, Whenever they please. Connnenting upon this temporary settlement, tha Spectator says: The confualon will begin ngain, of course, from tho nature of things, Tho joint protect- orate of Egyptis a cynical fraud, perpetrited by two rent Governments for money, and It cannot endure, Itinyolves all tho grent evils of Europonn conquest in Agia, the losa of Inde- pendence, the depreasion of the upper cliss, tho: arrest of wll spontancous developmont, excess- ive tnxution, and the Nberution of tho Execu- tive from native opinion; and tt docs tot secure the grand compensations, personal freedom, the seeurity of hfe aud earnings for the poor, und impurtial Justice (o ait men, Such a double rrytne bas always bud justly pppenred wo ite subjects the toast intolerably leaden of ull zov- erninents, und it willend, Whbethor the end will come through a Turkish intrigue, or a militar emeuite, or ni Arubinynsion—tquite on the curda —or n rising of tho fanutics, no one can fara- seo; but it willend, and when it ends England and France, uniess they have come to some per- imanent agreeuient us to the future of the couns try, wn agreement which will work, and which thorefore must be an agreement tongsign Layer to Bngtand, with compensation to Franco, will be nearer to war than thoy buve beon since 1915, ‘The situation may be summed up tn this: that the bondholders are determined to rob Egypt. ‘hese bondholders lent in various loans to a corrupt and extravagant Khedlve nt round $400,000,000, at 50 cents on the dollar and at G and O per cent Interest, which money he squandered In a truly’ orfental manner, They are now determined. to bleed tha people of Egypt until they linve paid the whole face of the debt, It is an infamous conspiracy of French, English, and Jowlsh sharks in a robbery speculation, "They succeeded In hounding their Goyern- ments until a joint Fronch and English commission was appointed, with the priy- lege of farming out Egypt and squeezing Its revenues ont of its puople, The situation has engendered such a jealousy between England and France that thoy-aro ready to fly at each other's throats upon the slightest. pretense. ‘I'ho English and the English-Jewa lave the ennnl to pro- tect, which 1s England’s only route to India, and in which they have Invested twenty-five millions of dollars.

So both Powers, though perfectly aware that their mutual alliance {3 for thelr mutual benelit, are so jealous of cach other that it will require tho very least pretext for a quar- rel botween them. As the Spectator says, they ura nearer to war than they have been at any tine since 1815, and “If no arrange- ment can be made, the prosperity of En- gland hnugs by a thread, for at any moment {tmay be ended by a great and sanguinary war.” The Spectator sugaesta as remedy that an Arnab, like Khalneddin, shall be sppolnted, “who. can govern an army a8 woll as oa people, and the Egyptian dividend be reduced to au endurable Thnit, leaving the country on all subjects except that dividend and tho ennul tree Jo take its own way and make history for Msolf.” ‘This ts altogether too Just a proposition ever to be accepted by tho ravenous bondholders, They ate deter- mined to rob Egypt, even If it should ine yolve a war which could have no other re- sult tha to make Bismarck master of Eu- rope. llow infumous this robbory Is tho fixures will show. ‘Tha debt is $40,000,000, {neurred by a profiigate ruler without the consent of the people, and the interest ($24,- 000,000) upun this debt, only about halt of which Is a genuine consideration, is to be around out of about 4,000,000 people, whose rights have never beenconsldcred, The nrea whieh has to pay this debt fs only the Delta of the Nile, hardly bigaer than Now Jersey, Should Franee and Exgland fall foul of each other tnd erlpple each other, and Bismarck hold the reins yver thom, It would be none too severe 8 pttulshment for auch greed. ‘Tne cable dispatches have failed to notices tho complete ovdeuntion of the wholo of tho flue provinea of Thessaly by tho Turks, after tn oecupntion: of more than four centuries of barbariam and oppression.
