1t is hardly possible to agree with the tele-
craphed opinion of The London Times that the
jealousy of the Porte was excited more by sus-
pciOns than by acts. The independent ap-
pearance of the Viceroy at the European
courts, his purposed journey to Russia, and the
compliments paid him Ivy agents of the Gar
irrespective of his master; his direct confer
ence with the European Powers on the subject
of the Consular question; his contracts for an
extraordinary armament and loan, stimuli
taneOusly with the rumOr that Egypt was pre-
pairing for war-did, we think, have all
the force of formidable action. The Vice
roy did all but rebel, and would have gone to
the extremity of war had the conditions been
favorable. But the Sultan was shrewd enough
not to be coward, and hence the Nlceroy's
obeisance is most pronounced. He has aban-
doned all his pretensiOns except the right
to contract budget loan. If pressed he may
abandon that, for it is not certain that the loan
he wished to raise in Europe was intended
for the ordinary expenses of his government

MEASURE FOR MEASURE.
The Commercial Advertiser saws:

"There is one great evil which eau he remeded by
either custom or legislative enactment, and public
opinion ought TO be aroused demand It, We refer to
the VIGOROUSLY unfair measures used or rather he lh
especially the poor TO whom every cent is Of conse
1uenoe should be defauded OF what they supposed
10 buy The universal custom OF the city now is that all
vegetables shall be bought and sold by measure whereas
the only fair plan Is that OF weighing them Take as an
instance the article OF potatoes, vegetable generally
used by everybody Now. bushel OF potatoes should
weigh hfiy-six pounds and 1t is probable that IN
S SUSh Mil be found OF fu Weight; though by a
simple trick In filing bushel measure may be made
10 hold much less filling halfbusnel, the trick is
much easier and the possible discount larger while the
peek half peck and twoquart measures can be so hed
we'll wonder What he has been buying The plan OF
weighing vegetables is adopted In the markets OF Balti
more and perhaps other cities and Ia the only fair one
especially when IL is considered that the greater portion
OF such vegetables sold only In the smallest quaint
gets what no pays for the dealer who sells by
weight buys In the way, aud the only loser VIII be
standard weight while he who raises crops OF extra
quality will be proportionately benefited"
This is very true, very forcibe, and very
Inconsistent For when, only last Winter, we
asked the Legislature to apply the rule above
contended for to periodicals that print adver-
tisements for pay-making each set forth ex-
actly how many copies it printed-in other
words, how much publicity it gave for the
money it exacted-Ihe Commercial AdrertiSer
appeared in Albany by one of its editors and
publishers, and defeated the bill, leaving the
old, dishonest game of selling a large amount
of advertising and delivering on the contract a
very small one, inactive andigainful operation.
The swindle in measuring potatoes is but a
flea-bit to that constantly practiced in adver-
Using, and the potato buyers have fifty times
the chance to protect themselves against it
that our laws now afford the advertisers. And
yet tho major rascalty must go on, because
journals of large pretension and little circula-
ton. like The Commercial, profit by it, and
can I afford to have il stopped by law.

A mercantile agent writes from Salt Lake
City that the so-called Cooperative Stores in
Utah are swindling, or will swindle, those who
trust them for goods. That is half the truth.
The other half implies that a Cooperative
Store dnyrhere that obtains or seeks credit
away from home is fraud, and will swindle
whosoeyer will let it. The essence of the CO.
operative system is payment before consump-
tiOn. A Cooperative Store that will accept
credit will surely abuse it.

The Senatus Consultum, as at length pro-
mulgated. is in essentials the same we have
heretofore described and explained. We have
only to observe that the Senate may oppose
the passage of a bill into effect, and so pre-
vent its further presentation in the course of
the same session. This appears to be the most
significant of the amendments made to the
original plan of the Emperor.

How to Settle the Alabama Claims.

from Ute ~. r. Herald.
The United States cannot be responsible for
British insanity. The fact that Earl Russell
said that the escape of the Alabama from
England was "due TO the insanity of the law
officer of the Crown" has nothing to do with
the case 1t may be plea for us to show
mercy in our demands, and make them as
light as possible under the circumstances.
There should have been an addition to the
expression of opinion OF Earl Russell. Hs
should have stated that the insane law officer
was the best representative of England that
could be possibly found during our civil war
troubles. That officer represented lord, mer-
chant, bOOtblack. He was the exponent of
English sympathy for the great republic,
and of English neutrality whenever an ocean
port was found large enough to give shell
ter to any privateer that would fulfil the
wish nearest to the English heart-the
destruction OF American commercial supre-
macy. But We are willing to be gracious
to great people with whom we have
so many traditions in common, and
with whom We are linked in ties of religion
and language. We are beyond being satisfied
with few paltry millions of treasure as a
salve to our wounded national honor for the
destruction OF few ships was not and is not
the point with us. We therefore propose that
we shall do good for evil Instead of pressing
the Alabama claims through our gastronomic
| diplomat now in England, who will be recalled
Immediately that General Grant takes the
executive chair, we shall propose to England,
through special commissioner, that we take
| Canada and the whole of British North
America in exchange for all the injuries done
by the Alabama and other commercial repre-
sentatives of English neutrality, and for all
the grievances which have from time to time
been heaped upon us while yet Great Britain
was in the zenith of her power.
The far. seeing wisdom of Russia caused hsl
10 sell Alaska to US. She saw the steady
movement OF the United States to the west
and northwest, and knew that soon We should
be pressing upon the Alaska frontier. II
would be good craftsmanship II England could
have the same broad view of the march o.
events on this continent, and acknowledge

quest. These events are completely beyond
our control. They are the movable force that
sends us onward upon this vast wave Of West
ern civilization with power that would
swamp the republic were we to attempt to
resist it. II England is still advised by Gin
sane law officers" she will cling to Canada
instead of yielding ii up to the United
States. If she cannot see that the very
elements that bind us together as a nation
are elements that laugh at and strike out
boundary lines, II will be because she will
not listen to the teachings of civilization and
to our warnings. The whole of North America
has been taken possession OF by the modern
forces which the liberal genius OF Germany,
France, England, and the United States has
called into action. Our Southern States,
clinging to feudal principles which had, unfor-
tunately, been planted upon their soil, tried TO
stand in the pathway of this modern giant.
They were crushed by it. Our Constitution
forbade the addition of territory to the old
Union, and yet we went on adding, first the
valley of the Mississippi then Florida, then
Texas, until, finally, we debouobed upon the
Pacific through California. Our eyes now
turn northward and southwark. Canada is
essential to us and we are essential TO Canada.
The times will have 1t so, and in stating this
we simply recognize o fact. To England
Canada is burden, and a severe one, too, in
view of the present condition of Europe.
Europe, VIII SIX ullllOuS Ol 1u6u uuuST aTulSt
stands divided against itself, waiting, as it
were, for the railroad, the telegraph, and
modern civilization to strike the tocsin which
shall inaugurate the great final struggle be-
tween the relics of feudalism, as represented
in class privileges and great standing armies,
and the liberal progressive movement Of this
century. We can bide our time: but we ask,
can England do the same! She has an Indian
empire TO take care of which keeps half of her
cotton manufactures in motion. She has
Australia and Ireland on her hands-both
nearer to the United States by adoption than
they are to Great Britain by national ties. Is
it not worth consideration on the part of
British statesmen that, under the administra-
tion of Grant, we shall always be prepared to
settle the Alabama and other claims to our
own liking? Perhaps we may settle them ac-
cOrdiDg to the example set us by the mother
country, which, sometimes, in late years, has
spoken with pride of people who are appa-
rently welded TO English habits and customs.
If we undertake this method, we promise to
make old England very proud of us. Better,
however, surrender Canada, aud by making
the amende honorable to us prepare the way to
friendship, which, in the coming European
struggle, would be the only reliable foreign
| element upon which England could depend.
