OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. The sensation of the week in the Brit- fsh metropolls Is the great scandal created by the exposure of the vice and llcen- tlousness of the nobllity of Great Britaln, While these revelations have within themselves no political significance - they are likely to produce impresslons upon the masses of the Engllsh people which in the end may result In the downfall of the aristccracy as a rullng class. With the extended franchise the power of the arlstocracy has been materlally weakened and the leveling process has doubtless been accelerated by the recent exposures. The revelations made by the Pall Mall Gawette will open the eyes of the British nation to the fact that, socially, the English arlatocracy and nobllity are the ‘WE take it that Mayor Vaughan, of Councll Bluffs, intends to withdraw from the gubernational race in Iowa, as he has applied for the office of superintend- ant of police cf the District of Columbia.

The Raes'an nress Is anxlous for a dis. avowal by the British premier and secre- tary of state for India of the hard things recently satd about Russla by the Marquls of Sallsbury and Lord Randolph Charchill, and the Russian forelgn office Is sald to be expecting a spontaneous explanation of the eame. This explanation, if glven at all, will undonbtedly be couched in the most general of poesible terms, Mr, Gladstone’s apology to Austria, which is probably taken as a precedent, is one only euperficlally,. Mr. Gladstone’s disagreeable referonces Anstria wero much more to nearly *[tultous than those of which Ruesia now complalns. What Lord Salisbury sald was said under the excltement of a wholly different state of aftairs, England and Russla were on the very verge of hostilities, and as the marquia occupled no officlal position, he was certalnly priv- ileged to deal with the extraordinary sit- uation as he saw fit. To hold him to a strler account now for such utterances of officlal amenity, which shonld be needless, unless something oc- curs in the future to render them pertinent, would be to glve very just provocation to England. If the rald from Tarkestan into Afghsnistan s really in behalf of Ayoub Khan, It is, an the con- trary, Russia that might more propar'y be called on for explanatfons;; and if Lord Dufferln, who has already been called on for the fullest particulars of it, forwards any Informatton ascribing the attack to the famillar *‘Russlan intrigue,” she most certalely will be. It 1s too soon yot to guess whether the Incident would, in that, turn out a blessing or a misfortune for the new government, Reports about what Is going on in the vicinity of the Afghan frontler are con- tradictory. From St. Petersburg we learn that the Afghans are gathering In force on the Murghab apparently with the Intention of attacking the Russlans who whipped them ‘at Pul-i-Khists, A London paper, whose Information con- cerning affalrs in Indla and Afghanistan has been fresh and trustworthy, declares that the Ameer wants more British gold, and that untll he gets it his attitude will be uncertain. More- over, it s asserted that the people and local rolers in Northern Afghanistan are leaning toward Russla. The n from Persla that the Russlans are mas: ing troops at Askabad and eending fresh troops dally from the Caspian to the frontier confirms previous reports and ls undoubtedly trustworthy. 1t will ba very easy for Russla to preclpitate a quarrel at any time with Afghanistan or Peraia. In the last few weeks she has extended her line of attack, and if she should declde to move southward she would not now be restricted to one path. And yet again Mr. Bradlaugh has “‘ad- vanced to the table” for the purpose of taking the oath and been excluded from the house of commons. The new leader of the commons, Sir Michael Hicks- Beach, msde what may be called the usual motlon of exclusion and the noted radical retired. The time will come when these solemn differences over the modes of formal pledges of faithfulnees to duty and country on the part of the members of parliament will seem child's play. Bradlaugh has retreated from his original position of affirmation only, and a re- flectlon I8 belng cast upon a large con- stituency, which for years has gone un- represented—or to use the vigorous words of Mr. Gladstone, *‘the present psrliament throughout kas grlevously wronged the electorate of Northampton.” Letters from the mahdi have been re- celved in Cairo, in which he says he ls certainly coming to that place before long, and he has lssued twelve command- ments in antisipation of his arrival. The principal one Is the killing of all infidels unless they turn Mussulman and pay taxes, The press also Is to bs sup- pressed, with the exceptlon of one ne paper which he will edlt himself—proba- bly as striking a testimounial to the power of the press as was ever uttered. His paper will doubtless be what we call here “‘a rellglous weekly,” but will certsinly have neltner a ‘‘secular depsrtment”’ nor a ‘“‘publisher’s department.” It will be wholly religlous and will handle the sceptics without gloves, Everythiog points to the likelthood of another revolution in Mexlco. Reports that have been coming northward from time to time Indicate that there is at last a ruptore of the delightfal, harmonlous relationa that have existed forso many years botween Porfirlo Diaz and Manuel Gonzalee. With the terrlble financial preesure the arrangement by which they havo passed to each other the control of the Mexloan treasury has come appar- ently to an end, and with this rupture there are slgns that foul weather will soon succeed the long politleal cslm, A short time sgo the Mexl- can congress was startled by the charge of president Disz, through his minlster of finance, that Gonzales was guilty of official peculation and robbery. At the same time a strong sueplclon pre- vails in Mexlico that Diaz s no better than his colleague In the polnt of finan- clal integrity, Between the palr it fs certaln that the tressury of Mexlco has been brought to utter bankroptey, and so reat Is the financial disorder that the public revenues have been put in pawn for months {o come In order to obtaln means to carry on the government. The Mexican congress has been prorogued by President Disz without makiog formal ac- cusationagainst Gonzales, Inthe fear prob ably, that he would organize a revolution agalnst the government or blab concern- ing the financlal arrangements of the two chieftalns. By this quarrel the political situation in Mexlco has become extreme- iy embarrassing, and there Is imminent davger that the peace will be broken, Of the term of President Dlaz about two years remain and if his ropture with Gonzales be slncere he may not be per- mitted to peacefally transmit the govern- ment to & regularly elected successor. As the neighbors of Mexlco, with whom our politieal and commerclal relations are becoming more and more important, the people cf this country cannot afford to re- gard the coming events in that country with {ndifference. Sir Jonn Maocdonald has won his long contest oyer the franchise bill in the deminfon parllament, The oppositlon made a strong fight agalnst the measure from the first, but the government had a large and trustworthy majorlty, and It was all along evidently only question of tix e when it would carry its point. The bill gives the rlght to vote t» Iudlan in all the provinces, except British Oclam- snd the northwest territories, of them live on reserves, makes them wmerely the tools THE DAILY BEE--SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1885 —_— of agents appolnted by the goverament Still more objectlonable is the ecreation of & olass of ‘““revising barristers” to pre- pare the voters’ lists, who are glven al- most tyrannieal powers, which they may be trusted to use for the benefit of the authorlties by whom they are appointed, The property qualifieation in some of the provinces Is increased, and there are oth- er provislons Intended to weaken the oppotition party. The final vote was taken lata on Friday night, or rather oarly on Saturday morning, and after it was announced, Sir Rlohard Cartwright, leader of the opopsition, quletly remarked, *‘It is the Fourth of July—a fit day on which to disfranchise your own countrymen,” The fact that two of the conservatiye mombers voted with the opposition in the negative Is only a hint of the populax foeling agalnst the measure, and Sir John may live to see the day when he will regret his victory. The private reports touching the health of the Emperor Willlam Indicate his early decease. He Is gradually slnking, and the oplnion of those conversans with his condition Is that he will hold out but & few days longer. With his dlsease and the accession of the Prince Imperial a new policy Is likely to be inaugurated. 1t Is stated that the prospect In this direc- tlon is what led Lord Salisbury to finally consent to take office. It s propored, acocording to these rumors, to form an Anglo-German alllance, In which Eng- land wlill have German support sgalnst the Rusaians, the French and all others. The attempts to arrange a treaty with the United States which would give Ja- malea an outlot for her products having been defeated by the selfishness of Ka- gland, that unfortunate Island {s obliged to torn once more to Canada, and hes sent commiesloners to Ottawa to negotlate for some kind of reciproclty arrange- ment, From thelr account it appears that the 60,000,000 inhabitants of Ja. maica derlve thelr usual supply of the moat necessary arlicles—floar, lndlan meal, ofl, timber, butter, cheese, etc.— from the Unlted States. But ail these imports are taxed pretty heavily by the Jamalcan tariff, and if the doty wera ra- moved from the Canadian article of the same kind, thers might arlse a very re- spectable commerce.

While there is juat enough coloring to make it plausa. ble, the clrcumstances as related by Mrs, Morris warrant the conolusion that her huwband has been grossly slandered. Mr. Sparks corroborated Mes, Morrls’ story in so far as his personal knowledgo of the difficulty extended, and vouched for the reliabllity of her denial, Mre. Morrls produced a number of lotters from prominent business pesple at Valentine to verify the truthfulness of her own re- port of the affair. The following letter from J. Wesley Tucker, recelver of the Valentine land offics, to ex-Senator Saunders, gives his veasion of the trouble: Vawestine, Neb,, July 7.—My dear governor: In the Bxk of the Gth Inst., I notlce a lengthy article puroprting to glve a detalled statement of reported trouble between our filend Morrls fand w fe. These are matters in which I never meddle, dlrectly nor indirectly, nor would I do so now only for the reason that I have known the friendly relation exlsting between yourself and the honor- able reglster, and knowlng that the Ber’s artlcle would be embarrassing in the absence of any explination, 1 therefore ask you av a matter of alm- ple justice to allow & brlef statement of facts. Some ten days ago we received orders from the honorable commissioner for the employment of three clerks for the use of this office. On consulatlon ba- tween the honorabie reglster and myself. it was determined that George Fisher should be retalned and a man by the name of Histon, from Alosworth should also be employed. Pending this agree- ment Mra, Morrls did come to the office and objest to Histon’s employment. Mr. Morrls was present durlng the most of the conver:ation with Mrs. M. and at no time did he show any aigns of anger or In any way was he impclite or disrespectful to Mrs. Morrls. On the next morning Mr. Morris suggested that weabandonthe 1dea cf the employment of Heston and we did. This was all of that, Shortly after this, on the ssme morning, Mrs. M. belng down in town, stopped fn at the office, and appeared in a perfect good humor. I saw her face and I did not observe any cute, or bralses, or black eyes. Indeed, if she bad been beaten and bruised as the BeE’s articls would have you believe, she could not have walked so briskly and been cheerful as she was the morning after it is eald the trouble took place. The truth is the striking and beating 1s a bace fabil- cation. As to excltement, talked of in the BEE—1t Is not so. The reglster has some enemies who have been doing all in thelr power to do him all the injury poseible, and In order to do this dld not hesitate to make any statement, regard- less of truth, As to the charge that Morrls’ Intimacy with o'her women has ‘“‘almost driven Mrs. M. dlstracted,” I can only say that I almost dally see Mr. and Mras, Morris together, with apparent best of relatlons exlsting between them And, senator, sllow me to say in all candor, that for two years I have been intimately associated with the reglster, snd In a position to know, and the accu- sation that he is so desperate In his in- timacy with other women s untrue. 1 have written you this statement, asa matter of slmple justice and the facts as set forth I know to be true, and can be proven. The better class of citizens, here are Indignant of the course taken by the enemles of the Reglster, and I can as- sure you that among the better class of cltizens, there 1a nelther, excitement, or credlt given to the libellous and slander- oua reporis thus circulated. Very truly, J. WesLEY TUCKER. [Note by the Elitor |—Inasmuch as the original report, as published by the Beg, emanated from Mr. Tucker, and was by him reported to the partics at Valentine who are our informants, Mr, Tucker may now explain to whoever it msy concern whether he lied in the first place or is telling the truth now. e —— The Sweet Girl Graduate, Sha read the valedictory; 'twas deep and an- alyt And aco) ing critic; But much I foar her logic clear and all her moods and tenses 1c, rod o splendid victory o'er every carp Oarfield, II; D, T.
