A FAMILY QUARREL IN EGYPT.
IN. Y. Sun. !

Apart from the European officers, the
Sultan has large number Of both
Asiatic and African leaders In command
Of the troops Of their tribes. Prominent
among them Is Prince Hassan, COM
manding the Egyptian corps stationed
at Varna. Hassan is the third son Of
the Khedive, and is considered very
valuable officer. He was educated in
Germany, has served in the German
name Of "the Prussian," in opposi-
ton to his brother Hussein, the second
son of the Khedive, called "the Pari-
sian," because he was educated in
Paris, and is just as thoroughly French
as his brother is German. 1t Is but
short time ago that they both returned
from exile, where they had been sent
by their father for having disfigured
each other in pugilistic fight. It ap-
pears that there has been at all times
between the two brothers the full
amount Of asim;osity which Il d;a nick
openly openly break out iii the a arrival in
Egypt of Mile. de Sienne, an opera
bouffe singer. Both princes became
infatuated with her and came to blows.
The Khedive, on hearing the story,
exiled both of them, and took Mile. de
Sienne under his own protection.
That's how they settle such matters
in Egypt.
The Greenback party in Pennsylvania
is making a vigorous effort to arouse the
disconnected laborers into an alliance
with it. It is said that twenty new clubs
have been organized in the vicinity of
Pittsburg during the past few days, and
around Pottsville similar activity is
perceptible, Mr.. Francis W. Hughes
being, as usual, at the head of the dis
turbance. At a recent meeting Hughes
told crowd of laborers that the hard
times were due to bad financial legisla-
ton, and that the remedy is not vio-
lence, but combination of the people
to rise above party, to appeal to Con-
gress, and exert an action and influence
that cannot be ignored by that body.
We must have an increase of the me-
dunn of exchange, or fall" This is the
cheapest sort Of demagogueism, but the
audience greeted it with yells of delight.
There are indications in other States
than Pennsylvania that the working
men will constitute voting element
this fall which the regular parties will
be good deal crippled with.

week Of the session fifty or hundred bills
be will introduced for the
SOLUTION OF THE GREAT SOCIAL PROBLEM,
the first act of which was witnessed last month
in the desperate effort of 'labor" to free it
self from the burdens which the heartless
moneyed corporations of the land had i'm
posed upon it. This first act ended in the
temporary victory of those corporations, be-
cause they had the law on their side, while
the labor revolt was allowed to degenerate
into riot and spoliation; but, while labor
achieved nothing by this movement in the
way Of increase of wages, it succeeded in
drawing the attention of the whole country to
the wrongs it suffers under, and in setting
everybody to thinking over the causes that
have brought about this strange anomaly
bread riots in land overfiowing with all of
the elements Of food and prosperity. Chief
among these causes, to my thinking, are
OUR PERNICIoUs SYSTEM OF PROTECTIVE
TARIFFS,
designed to build up Northern manufacto-
ries at the expense of the people; vicious
tinkering with the currency for the benefit OF
foreign and domestic bondholders; the des-
truction of our foreign trade and the corrupt
fostering of monopolies through which the
rich are becoming richer and the poor poorer
All of these things are the outgrowth OF
the Republican party's theories of govern.
ment and are essentially undemocratic. They
must and, believe, will be stopped. sooner
or later, and the country become prosperous
