J., there to pre- are itself for competition with teams sent by various states to represent them in the matches conducted by the National Rifle Association of the United States. There are ‘two competitions of supreme importance, the first, in point of rank, being for the ‘Hilton trophy, won by our team in 189 at terial used in shooting, there is no reason for believing that Pennsylvania's rifiernen are any more expert than our own.

He 1s also a thorn in the side of that emi- mently philanthropic colonizer, John Bull. i fi 5 3 ni rite ! dive of Egypt, sovereign of Nubia, of the Soudan, of Kordofan. and of Darfour. With all these titles Abbas has imbibed the absurd idea that he should be allowed to appoint an under clerk of the garbage de-| partment without consulting the English minister. Last winter the Khedive, with « barbarous disrgard of Great Britain, ap-| pointed a ministry without first getting the | consent of Lord Cromer, Engiand’s minis-| ter. Lord Cromer promptly rebuked such | entirely unacquainted even with the rudi- ments of maritime law. The Americans havé, in fact, never had a @iplomatic ser- vice, properly so called. Their ta- tives abroad have never been to any kind of examination as to fitness for promoting diplomatic intercourse with foreign states, or the amount of their lin- guistic acquirements, if any; and the fatal system of cutting off offi at the expiration of the term deprived services ‘of gentlemen of the highest ac- complishments and with natural facilities, So to speak, for the delicate and difficult craft of diplomacy.” No denial can be made. No plea in abate- ment offered. The diplomatic service—for that fs {ts name—is now nothing more nor less than a means by which political debts may be paid, and if, by chance, some one of the appointees should develop abil- ity as a diplomat, that would be simply so much good luck, for which no one could be held to responsibility. It may be many years before partisan politics can be elim- inated from control in the conduct of pub- Me business, but until that time arrives our so-called diplomatic service will, in the main, be efficient, and the people who aid and abet in its uneducated continua- tion be fit and proper subjects for criticism and even ridicule. + +e Liet Erikson’s friends are much disap- pointed. They have been insisting for years that their hero—who was undoubted- ly a great explorer—discovered this con- tineat foar hundred years before the dar- ing Genoese navigator landed on one of the West India Islands, and they have | Ji further insisted that among the records of the Catholic Church, stored away in the library of the Vatican, was docu- mentary evidence of the most conclusive sort which would put Lief right on the Pinnacle. The Vatican holds no such tes- timony. Mr. William E. Curtis says 50, and he ought to know. Mr. Curtis visited Rome @ year ago as an agent of the Columbian Exposition, and having heard the claims of Rasmus Anderson, Prof. Rayn, Prof. Horsford and other Scandi- navian scholars of eminence, determined, so far as was possible, to settle the con- troversy. He obtained by order of the Pope copies of all documents on file reiat- ing to the discovery of America, and none of these mentioned Mr. Erikson. Over fourteen thousand manuscripts were care- fully, examined’ and the search revealed many that contained valuable and inter- esting contributions to history, but in none of them was there mention of the hardy Norseman who sailed the seas before the Columbus family had fairly commenced to be. But although Erikson secured none of the credit it was proven conclusively by some of the ancient records that there was a bishopric of Greenland in the twelfth century and that the church had informa- tion as to the existence of unexplored lands farther south in which savages lived —descendants, doubtless, of the hundreds of Welshmen who sailed from their native Jand with Liwellyn ap Madoc fully four hundred years before Lief Erikson attained his majority. Who was the original Ameri- can anyhow? ———+++—___ Ohio should appoint some properly quall- fied person to edit her state conventions. Doubtless the selections made by the re- cent democratic convention are wise from @ political standpoint, and creditable as viewed on broader lines. But as the prop- 'y man and the calcium light tender have been known. to ruin what might have been @ beautiful exhibition, so in this convention an unrighteous action by giving the Khe- dive, with gentle hints of war, confagra-| Yioas and cisaster, twenty-four hours in which to withdraw the appointments, The | Khedive surrendered, and a new prime min- ister was appointed. Lately the Khedive| has been paying a visit to Constantinople, | with the alleged purpose of getting the Su! ‘tan, to whom he owes allegiance, to inti- mate to England that it was about time she| withdrew her army of occupation from | Egyptian soil. Ten years ago England | stated that her army would remain in Egypt onty until such time as tranquility | @hould be restored. For the past six or seven years the only portion of the Khe- @ive's domain which has not been thor-| oughly tranquil has been the Upper Nile Tegion, which was abandoned to rebels through England's orders. Another cabi- met crisis forms the latest move on the Egyptian chess board. Abbbas is reported to have quarreled with Riaz Pasha, his prime minister, and to have started in to| form a cabinet in accordance with his own views. Such an action may mean several things. It may mean that Lord Cromer *-s given Abbas permission to quarrel wich Riaz, or it may mean that the Sultan in- tends to allow the Khedive fo tell England to mind her own business. If the latter, we shall probably hear lurid accounts from English sources of the umsettied condition of Egypt, and England will promptly setze the opportusity to increase her army of oc- cupation by a few thousand troops. What- ever the outcome of this one little trouble, it is apparent that when the long-expected European war comes there will be lively times for England in Egypt. ——_—_+2s—__ Some censure is being devoted to the President for leaving Washington at this €ritical period for health considerations, and, as is hinted, for domestic reasons Which call him to the side of his wife. The Philadelphia Press says: “So far as the considerations which are Pezsmnal to himself are concerned, nothing at the gravest condition justifies his absence. So far as relates to those which touch ties dearer than himself, can they demand prolonged stay? The President Gisappoinis the country.’ The Press does not apparently see the significance of the announcement that the President goes away under medical advice as “absolutely necessary” to his health and strength. President Cleveland is not a man to shirk work or responsibility, as his ecord abundantly shows, and it is certain that his departure at this juncture is not for fun, but under the imperative orders of his doctors. Mr. Cleveland's life is very important to the country just now, and it is fervently to be hoped that he will get the desired benefit from a quiet rest by the sea-side. ———_+ 0+ —___ As a people we are impatient of criticism, especially when the critic happens to be & subject of Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria. The scarlet jacket 1s, to Many of us, as effective a disturber as the ¢rimson rag is alleged to be when waved within the visual range of a supersensitive Dull. There is nothing unnatural in this feeling, but occasionally we would derive Feal benefit did we profit by some of the advice which in our wrath we now thrust aside. With frankness that should be ap- rectated the London Daily Telegraph has been discussing the system which when- ever the color of our administration changes, results in the unreasoning removal from the public service of many capable men. There seems to be no flaw in the in- dictment, and, as a matter of fact, the doc- ument Is less strongly worded than it could be did the writer have a more intimate acquaintance with the spoils system. It is surprising to the English mind that so many changes should take place in the de- yertments, among the collectors at the Ports, and the district attorneys through- @ut the country, but the situation seems to Bave been sized up and ts regarded as an evil that will sooner or later be remedied. But the Telegraph seems‘ unable to under- @an@ why the nation’s diplomatic and €onsular and vice consular representatives should be summarily removed without cause. Americans are credited, to their honor, “from the very infancy of their wonderful republic,” with having been per- sistent in conferring diplomatic appoint- ments on distinguished men of letters, among them being Benjamin - Franklin, Rush, Washington Irving, Bayard Taylor, James Russell Lowell, Robert Dale Owen, Motley, Whitelaw Reid and other notables, while Nathaniel Hawthorne and Elihu Bur- ritt were both consuls in two of the more Prominent English towns—Liverpool and Birmingham. But even such as these were Femoved a3 soon as another Pr been elected. Says the Teleg! “When the outgoing Chief Magtstrate Rot pecure re-cle the heading ax begins to do its ri ork, and from end of the rr American m and con- nd therm- there were lapses of judgment which inter- fered, so to speak, with the symmetry of the occasion. For instance, the man who had the brass band in charge should have been more careful in posting the leader as to his cue. Upon the decision of the con- vention he succumbed to the habit of years and drew forth form his music’ portfolio “The Campbells are Coming,” when mani- festly it was not the Campbells who were coming. It was the Neals. The Campbells were headed in quite the opposite direction. ‘The joke s a good one, and it is too bad to lose it, but the democratic convention brass band cannot expect to have the politics of the state regulated with the sole idea of fitting its repertoire. Then, too, it was thoughtless of Mr. Richie to refer to the candidate whom he presented for the state attorney genera/ship as representing “a hoop pole district where they eat frogs and raise democrats." To be sure, the phrase Is a picturesque one. But the market is drugged with picturesque phreses to an ex- tent which suggests “golly swashed” or “blood up to the bridle” every time a man tries to descend from the platitudes of common sense to the free and untrammeled atmosphere of comic colloquialism. It is possible, however, that Mr. Richie intended the remark for rural consumption only and that he bas no idea of entering the already well filled lists for humorous oratory in Congress. If this is the case there is no occasion for serious admonition. ——_ + += In his farewell message yesterday Mr. Cleveland gave it to be plainly understood that he was leaving the city for private reasons only, and that he would be glad to dispense with the presence of the ubiquitous newspaper correspondents. This is but a natural desire on his part. Publicity and newspaper fame, whic’ are so dear to the small politician, are no. always so grateful to the occupant of a high position. He would dispense with them if he could, but he can’t. The fact that Mr. Cleveland ts the President of a great nation invests all his doings with an importance they would not otherwise possess. This is well shown in the fact that ex-President Harrison may come and go as he pleases unattended by the special correspondent. Mr. Cleveland may be in the enjoyment of just such im- munity four years from now and the news- paper men may be following up some other man, but in the meantime it is probable that his request to be left alone while he is at Gray Gables will not be granted to any considerable extent. The fact that he has gone away partly for the benefit of his impaired physical well-being will give his presence on the shores of Buzzard’s Bay unusual attractions for the special correspondent. In his statement Mr. Cleveland assures them that his day's do- ings will be devoid of interest to the public. In this he is not altogether right. At any rate he is but paying the penalty of great- ness. It would seem strange if the voluminous and frequent interviews which preceded the assemblage of Congress were not sufii- cient to replace a large amount of the usual preliminary debate. —<+s___ Sergeant-at-Arms Snow having consid- erable patronage on his hands will now realize the beautiful generosity that per- meates human nature with reference to disinterested advice. ——+++—___ The war cloud is said to be disappear- ing from Central America.

Congress, in extraordinary session, is the center of attraction and has been ever since Monday noon, when, in obedience to the Presidemt’s decree, it assembled for the purpose of considering legislation by which, if possible, the financial strain and busi- ness uncertainty are to be removed. The President's message, which was communt- cated to the national legislature on Tues- day, urged the speedy repeal of the silver purchase act of 1990. Silver enthusiasts and anti-silver men, democrats, republi- cans and populists, have all held caucuses, but not one of them has yet made itself either in the House or in the Senate.

At Home. ‘The presence of Congress and the first ‘week of the extra session and some features of the local financial situation has served to furnish more than the usual topics of Public interest than is customary in a week in midsummer. What might have been a Tun on the Washington Loan and Trust Company was checked by the prompt action of the officials of the company. The fact ‘was brought out that not only this institu- tion, but the banks of the city generally were strong and in good condition. Prog- Tess was made toward the formation of a clearing house association by the financial institutions of the city. The District attor- ney was instructed to begin proceedings against the Metropolitan railroad company for the forfeiture of its charter because of failure to comply with the law relative to the change in the motive power. The brigade and regimental rifle teams of the District National Guard left for Sea Girt, N. J., to take part in the annual shooting contest. SHOOTING STARS.
