The reported capture of Betber by the rebellious forces of the Mahdi has not as yet baen confirmed, but there is very littlo doubt that the rebels have taken the aggressive in the Soudan. If the British government has ever eoriously contomplated a campaign for the relief of (eneral Gordon at Khartuom, the fall of Berber would greatly increase the diffi- culties that lie in the way of success. At last accounts General Gordon had evacu- ated the government palace at Khartuom and had taken possossion of the Catholic mission, where he has intrenched him- selfs 1t is now officially announced that the conference between England and France has resulted in an agreement upon the futuro Tigyptian policy which the two governments intend to pursus in com, mon, This agreement, according to the London News, stipulates that the British troopa shall remain in Egypt until Janu- ary Ist, 1888, and may romain longer if England and one other great power judge it expodient. An attempt {0 censure the government for its Egyptian policy will be mado in the Louso of commons just as s0on ag,Mr, Gladstone ‘Btates tho terms of the conference. The debate on the motion is expected to opsn on the 28th of June and to last five nighte, There is no doubt thst a hostile vote of parliament will ho fatal to tho schemo and a aissolution of that body will speodily follow. Mr. Gladstono has done pretty well con- sidering the difficult and really dangerous position in which he was placed. The government has felt allalong thatin view of the expected hostility of Germany and the uncertain attitudo of Italy in the con- ference the support of France would be very important to England if she wished to maintain her ascendancy in Kgypt. This fact was no more apparent to the English governmont than to M. Ferry, and ho has proved himself too thorough an adept in statecraft not to ob- tain tho fullest advantage from it. Two ways were offered to Mr. Glad- stono by which France might bo placated and tho desired accord obtained. One was for the English government to acqui- esco at lemst pnssively in the I'rerch schemes for territorial acquisitions on the north coast of Africa, and the orher was to admit France to a dual control in Egypt. The first plan was sure to meet with opposition from the tories, but Mr. Gladstone hus successfully withstood their wrath befove, and the sccond plan would not enly be opposed by tories, but would also antagonize an important sec- tion of the liberal party, It was, there. fore, plainly a matter of pradence, indeed of geli-proservation for Mr, Gladstone to accept the first of the French alternatives, and this is what he has done. All that the ministerialists will admit to-day is that an amicable arrangement has been oconcluded, and they intimate that no equivalent was required by France, 1t will bo found sooner or later, however, that a secrot treaty has been made by which France is to be permitted to buc- caneer to her heart's content in Morocco and elsewhero in Africa as long as she keeps out of Egypt. The Irish people do not regard with mnch favor the new land law, by which Mr. Trovalyan proposes to enable them to acquire the ownorship of their farme, They object to iton two grounds. The first is that ho proposes that the tenants shall pay twenty times the legal rent in order to acquiro ownership of the land, although as he admits Irish land now sells for but eighteen times tho annual rent, and would bring much less if large «quantities were thrown on the market, They regard thoe bill, therefere, as rather a moans to benefit the landlords than to make their tonants prosperous. Their second objection is that the government been advancing money to enablo the ton. anta of any district to buy land, requires 3 pledgo of security for repaymont from the couuty board, which may bo com- pelled to reinburse’ the government for ny losses it way sustain. As these boards are to be made up largely from the landlord claes, and as overy piece of property in the county would bo- subject vo nesessment for the dischargo of their obligations, the people, especilly in the poorer districts, would incur very serious responsibil ties by accepting such an offer, ‘Those of the riclier districts are able to tuko caro of themselves, The law seoms to have fallen flat both inside parliament and outside, The intelligence that instructions have been sent by the British government to the viceroy of India to fortify Quetta is not without significance. This town, which is situated at the Balan pass of the southern extension of the Himulayas, was until the last Afghan war subject to Beloochistan khan, whose suzerain was the khan of Khelat, the recognized head of the Beloochee tribes, But when that contest was ended, and the ‘‘sclentific " in other words, the ex- tension of the Punjaub to the mountain barrier—was formed, it became a possession of the Indian empire. Situ- ated where it is, it is one of the moat im- ortant strategic points on the northwest Eronlior of India, for the pass that will be protected by its fortification is one of the few practicable routes across the mighty mountain chain that is the nat. ural wall of the great British empire in Asia. As a matter of course, the fortification of Quetta is the English anawer to the Russian occupation of Merv, and, while it is by no means a complete defense, it may be taken as an indication that the time has at last areived when England will meet Musocovite aggression with preparation for a possible conflict. The passes north of Quetta, one of which is the famous Khyber, will probably be protected at an early date, if that has not already been done, for al. though they lead into Afghanistan, which is at present under English influence, the temper of oriental potentates is as un- cortain as their tenure, and no guaranty exists or can exist that the Ameer Abdur- rahnian may not prove as susceptible to Russian intrigue as was Shere Ali, The parlismentary elections in Belgium have resulted in a l&nnl triumph for the ultramontane party. Although the chambers of deputies consists uniy of 152 members, elected for four years, and only half the number of seatsis subject to a chango in the biennial elections, the lib- orals have lost upward of twenty seats, They have bosides been beaten tn their main stronghald, she capital. The cabi- net of Frere Orban, which has governed the country since 1818, and has almost constantly been engaged in anenvenomed atruggle with the clericles, will now prob- ably make room for an ultra-Catholic ministry, and the fi-at changein the poli- cy of the kingdom will be the restoration of diplomatic relations with the Vatican, whenoe tho Belgian legation was with. drawn in 1880, To this effect Pope Leo NIIL has already m the first advance hy instructions to his representative in Brussels to open friondly negotiations. The most important object, however, be- fore the new government will be a com- plete reversal of tho anti-clerical educa- tional policy which has provailed for years. The question of secular or cleri- cal education has been the great issue be- tween the two great partics in Beleium almost since the creation of the King- dom, and never has tho contention be- tween thom risen to a more intensoe de- greo of passion and hostility than during the administration of Frere Orban, Never have the mutual provocations been wore galling, The recent eloction in Spain for mem- bers of the national legislature resulted in a very complete triumph for the gov- ernment, which, under the guidance of Danovas del Oastillo, is reactionary in the extreme. The republican party is only ropresented in the Cortez by seven depu- ties; Canovas, by the use of the govern- mental interference customary in Spain, oan count 329 deputies ready to do nis pleasure; the oppositioe only numbering 98 of all partics, Emilio Castelar's party of republican possibiliats is represented by threo mem- bers and the independent re- publicans by four. Canova, since his return to power, has resumed the old tactics of suppreasion and for the presont at least, the hopes of the liberals which revived during Sagasta’s two years of power, aredashed, Prince Bismarck is the model of Canovas del Castillo, and iv| is morally certain that if he continues to rule Spain for his master Alfonso on the Bourbon plan, he will have revolution on his hands which will again remove the Bourdon monarchy. For in Spain, the large standing army is a menace to any regime, It has, oser and over again, overthrown succestive Spanish govern- ments, The people of Cuba aro complsining, with great bitterness, of tho lack of in. torest shown in them by the home gov- ernment at Madrid. They intimato that the Spanish government recognizes their existenco only when taxes aro to be col- lected, and then after a fashion the re. verso of amiable. Meanwhilo bandits continue to distract the icland, and againet them the peoplo of the isolated counrry distriots are absolutely powerloss, being forced to pay whatever sums aro domanded. Between the Spanish tax- colleetors, who take all the year's profits, and tho bandits who como after them aud rogulurly gather in a largo sharo of cach year's capital, the sugar planters are not making much money, and naturally feel somowhat_sore ovor tho situation, A stzong feeling is said to be epringing up in the country in favor of annexation to the United States as the best way out of all their difficultics, and_should this feel- ing take root among tho better classes it will probably give more troublo than Spain has ever yet experienced in Cuba, Tho strugglo botween the Norwegians and King Oscur, of the dual kingdom of Norwsy and Swedon, continues, The king remains firm as to his veto of the bill passed three times by the lower house of the Norwegian legislature, pro- viding that the ministers ‘of state shall take part in the proceedings of the house. The king and his_party take the ground that the royal veto is_an absolute right, but the Norwegians point to tne law which gives a bill statutory effect after it has been passed by three successive assem- blies. In the meantime the lower house of the Norwegian parliament has im- peached snd triad and sentenced, through tho supreme court, minister after minis- ter, and the secretary of state has been sentenced to ¢jectment and the payment of a heavy fine. The king immediately conferred o decoration on the 'disgraced uflicial and ordered four editors to be imprigoned, the offense of one them being that he published a lotter of the colebrated novelist, Bjornatjerno Bjornson, eriticizing somewhat aoverely the conduct of tho king. The Norwegians aro greatly excited, especisl Iy as the king has appointed a new cabi- not, not in sympathy with the peopls of Norway. The Norwegians never fancied the arrangement of the European powers, which seventy years ago, took Norway from Denmark and landed it over in Sweden, The two countries have sepa rate administration and separato armies and navies, The tendency of the Nor- wegians 18 to a republican form of gov- ernment, and if King Oscar continues to obstruct their wishes and preferences they may dissolve the arrangement of 1814 and leavo the King to lord it over Sweden, where the monarchy is more popular, The slave question continues to be the burning isswe in Brazil, although little illusion has been made to it in the Chamber, Both the abolitionists and the slaveowners are “preparing for the struggle; the former have been notified by the arrival of their chief, Joaquin Nabuca, from England, and are likely now to assume the aggressive strongly, while the slaveowners are holding assem- blies to organize defeace against the abo- litionists and the slaves, for the latter urpose forming bodies of municipal po- lico at their own cost. The Russian royalists find themselves atill forced to tread carefully and cau- tiouslgy leat the bomb of the dynawiter should'make short work of them. The bride of the Grand Duke Sergius entered the city of her future residence with no one, except the soldiery who lined her pathway, being permitted to see her pase, It is notorious that the czar has recently resumed those precautions for the secu- rity of his person which he had been em- bo{donnd to abandon, The continued discovery of nihilists under the guise of the imperial uniform and the reiterated threats of the secret propaganda have resulted in once more making a prisoner of the most autoeratic of Kuropean rulers. To those who do not understand the tow- ering pride of a royul Muscovite, it seems strange thac the czer should prefer his inthralment day by day to the concession of reforms which would dissolve Nihi- lism into thin air, E— Grins, Flossaut, boalthy grios are comn anly en the acen of healthy persons, yspopiic and | dobilitated oun il uly 10 Balfhoartod . on the with Burdocd Bl e 1 pon Wik 18 langh woll an cétets way. ATURDAY JUNE 21, 1884 POLITICAL 0O NDRUMS, Why the Editor of the “Bee"” Cannot | ¢Pull the Anti Monopoly Mule into the ktepublican Pasture, Atntox, Booxe [To rar Eprror]—N yeara ago has “Old Scl” Ly June 15, — ot sinco business than he is doing now towards making corn, and take it s a whole, es- pecially taking into consideration what a season the last was, thero is a good stand of corn, while all kinds of small grain is a3 good ac it could be. I have been asked a hundred different times, by anti-monops and others, in what direction the editor of Tir Bre was trying to drive the anti-monopoly mule, to all of which questions 1 could ouly sy nix; but T hope and trust that the editor of Tre: Brk has a higher opinion of the intelligence of the mule than to imagine that it can be driven into the republican stables; especially after it has been 8o amply demonstrated that it is owned and controlled by such men &s Church Howe and John M. Thuraton, OF the hundreds in this county who loft the Republican party, not a single ono have I heard say that they were going to support aticket at the getting up of which every railroad and corporation attorney and political barnacle in the land had a hand in. In the presidential iterature which, during tho last twenty years has been emanating trom the white house, President Arthur s tho only man who dared call the attention of congrers to the fact that tho groat barous of the iron highwaya were robbivg the people hand over fist, of their hard earnings, and their heritage, and yet, although public opit- ion had compelled the manipulators of platforms to acknowledge in every repub- lican convention almost, that his Admini- stration had been tho purist of any since Lincoln, the one fatal mistake which he made was in thinking that the people had somo rights which Congress ought to pro- tect, That beat Lkim out of the nomina- tion at Chicago. As Gieneral Van Wyck has truly said, in looking back over the legislation of the republican party dur- ing the past twenty years in behalf of, or in the interost of the working class, that the ouly bright spot wich can be found which stands like an oasis in its vast and waste, is the homestead law, and how many tons of thousands have been in the past and will be in the future preventod from transferring its benefits to their children through the insatiablo greed o railroad monopoly. The editor of Tnr Bre says that the national republican platform is broad enough for anyone to stand upon. That is truo, but it is too elippery. Bosides it looks as though the ropublicans had robbed the democratic nest of some of its eggs, and was trying to convince the dear peoplo that if only it was kept in power it would hatch them. Take for instance the planks in regard to the heathen mongolian, the rairoad land grabs, the Americhn citizen abroad and contract lebor. In fact the promise which are showered so lavishly in that platform reminds me very much of the gifts which tho terrors of dissolution and the sting of a guilty conscience caused the baronial cut-throat in the dark ages to shower upon the altar of his church in order that he might have masses gaid for the repose of his crimo- stained soul. I supposo the real issue, which will divide the anties and demo- crats from the republicans during the coming battle will be the tariff question, and republican one hundred dollars a day orator will tell us, as they have been telling us during the last vwenty years, what a glorions thing high tariff has been for the country, Now let us see what high tariff has done for one thing. American commerce previous to 1856, before the days of high tariff, it was the w.ournfull complaints of English news. papers that intono partinthe world could an English war ship go but it would find already there American trading ships. In 1856 the mercantile navy of Kogland amounted to seven and a half millions of tons, and that of Americs second in the world, In 1883 that mercantile navy of England amounted to forty seven millions of tous, while that American had almost ceased to exist., That of Bogland re- quires forly seven thousand ships at an averago of one thousand tons burden each, enough to whiten every sea with their sails and blacken the sky of every clime with the smoke of their oceun steamers, The American citizens asks as he journeys round the world, 0, where aro the ships of my country? And the answer comes echoing from the dark of the past, “aunk on the rock of h tariff.” In conclusion I wish o ask one tion: What were the number of U v ion soldiers and eailors who, in the late war, were killed in battle, or died from wounds or sickness contracted while in the service. The orator of the day in Al- bion on decoration day stated that it was 140 000 more than I thought it was. T. T.

The Turks are a nation of coffee drink- ers. They uso coffee as the Italians use wine or tho Germans beer. Of course, tcoholic drinks are popular, but it is illegal to use them in public. Coffee houses are as plentiful as saloons in & mining town, and in addition itinerant venders of tho drink aro omnipresent in the streets. These lactor have each a smell sheet-iron stove, such as tinkers carry, an iron sauce dish with a long wooden handle, a bottle of coffce, a pa- per of sugar, a can of water, a spoon and a fow small cups. When a cup of coffee is ordered from ona of these fellows, he retires into tho nearest doorway aud rakes up the coals in his stove. Then out of the bot- tle is ladled the coffee, previously ground into an impalpable powder, a teaspoon- ful being taken for each cup to be made. An cqual amount of sugar 13 added, and the wholo put in the saucepan and cover- ed with water. Then thoe pan goes on to the coals and is allowed to boil up at once. The result looks inviting and smells good, but you feel more friendly with it outsido than when you have got itin, If ho Gid not have so many grounds in it it would bs good syrup, but there is altogether too much sugar for it to be good coffee. Besides the old feliow wet his thumb in his mouth and rubbed some fly specks or old grounds out of the inside of my cup, and somehow it gave me a sus- picion that the utensil was not clean, I told him 8o, but he smelled it, and fur- ther so polished it with the palm of his hand that it shone like a reflector, so I knew I must have been mistaken. The coffee-houses were delightfully free from ceremony. I have seen nothing except a German theatre that equalled them. They are generally combination concerns, neatly whitewashed.
