the former Case. Turkey, under whAieseT

nate 10 Russia. and without motive for
attending to English interests, and the
ultimate cootrol Of Egyp, will therefore

any war, for example, with America
we might find our Cape route han
assed and interrupted by cruisefs
emerging from San Francisco, and
the Canal suddenly blocked by the
accidental" sinking in it of couple Of
Turkish steamers. We could not endure
that, and might have to occupy Egypt
under circumstances which would make
the operation one of nearly insuperable
difficulty. The French Government, for
example, might be pining for an excuse
for war satisfactory to its people. or we
might be wholly. unable from iosurrec
ton to occupy Egypt from the eastern
side. On the other hand, Turkey may
20 down, and in that event the Khedive
would declare himself independent.
There is theory held in many impor-
tant quarters that this would suit the In.
terests of this country, because the Khe-
dive would naturally rely for help upon
British. power, but we fear this Is a
short-sighted view. The Khedive, once
proclaimed Sultan of Egypt, will be
harassed by new kinds Of difficulties,
one OF them being the risk of civil war.
He is now guaranteed by Turkey, and
protected by the influence of the Kaliph-
ate; but when independent, he would
be at the mercy of any successful soldier
in his army, of any popular Prince in his
own family, and Of any fighting adven.
turer who might arise in Arabia. The
tradition Of Egypt is not that of orderly
government but of military risings; the
Khedive has NO money with which to
form . mercenary army; and his exac-
tons, redoubled under the Goschen
scheme, which met every interest but
that of the Fellah, have made him de-
tested. Anarchy in Egypt would be just
as ruinous to us as foreign interference,
for each party would apply to England
for help under the menace, if refused, of
blocking the Canal. There is, and can
be il fact no security for us in Egypt,
except the possession of the country,
and we have no right to possess it with
out governing it, and SO cOmpensating
the people for foreign conquest by the
vivifying order which our rule invariably
produces.-Ihs Spectator.
