80HEEZFn EGYPT

] Ihe tolls are fapldy BaL1eflng round the
luxurious Khedive Of Egypt, and the time
is evidently near at hand when he must
step down and out, and hand over his ha.
rems and palaces to some other Turk, who
will be made of more pliable material in the
hands Of Egypt's foreign creditors. England
and France have united in demanding his
| abdioation. Germany and Austria, though
not greatly interested in Egypt as creditors,
| have given him the alternative of the full
payment Of the floating debt be owes them,
or their cooperation with England and
France in pulling him of his throne. AZ
tho juice is about a1l squeezed out Of the
orange, and the creditors won't take the
peel, Of COURSE there is no possibility that
he can pay evan the accumulated interest,
much less ths enormous principal. Even his
own Ministers, with ono exception, favor
the abdication. Az the Sultan cannot resist
the pressure Of the four Powers, and there
is no probability. that Russia will interfere
in his favor, as she doesn't care straw for
Egypt, Africa will soon have one monarch
out of business.
But after the abdicaion is accomplished,
aud new King or V1ceroy has been appoint
ed who will attempt to carry out the pur-
poses of the Egyptian bondholders, what
then? How much bet ter of will England
and France be than they are now2 As for
Egypt, it is certain sho cannot be any worse
off. She owes debt of nearly six hundred
million dollars, for which the bonds sold at
60 to 10 cents on the dollar and drew tot
per cent interest, being equivalent to 10 per
cent On the money actually borrowed This
vast gum has been squandered upon palaces,
seraglios, fancy farms, ornamentatton,
yachts, wines, entertainments, increased
harems, useless army and good for nothing
navy with high-salaried oficsrs who do
nothing but strut around jingling their
swords, and general prodigacy. The Khe-
dive has spent his time for years in riotous
living upon his borrowed money, and the
fcllah, who live by cultivating the soil have
been ground down into the very
dust to pay it.. They are in as miserable
a condition as the Jews were when Moses
led them out Of that country. Their ability !
to pay is utterly exhausted. Egypt is even
worse off than India, where tho English have
carried the system Of taxation to an extreme
that takes the last cent out Of the impe-
cunious masses, and yet fails to meet the
enormous expenditure. Egypt is in the same
fix. Her five millions OF miserable inhabit-
ants ore utterly unable to earn the money
the Government and foreign creditors de-
mand. ~ :,:
Wehave then, on tn one side, miserable,
exhausted people robbed to the uttermost
farthing; debauchee and spendthr1ft who
cannot bear to close his palaces, give up his
harem, and dismiss his concuhines; useless
army, whose lazy and expensive officers
claim they are appointed for life; navy
whose officers will not consent to the sale Of |
heir veksels; and Sultan who hesitates J

VACANCIES IN THE BOARD OF EDUCATION

| VACANCIES IN THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
Mayor HARRISON will ba called upon next
month to fill five vacancies in the Chicago
Board Of Education The retiring members
are Messrs. WELLS, HoTz, PnussrNa, Ar
MOLD, and JACOBS and Of these, without
prejudice to the: others, Messrs. WELLS,
Ho1z, and ARNOLD have been especially use-
full to the cause Of education in this city.
There is no one citizen of Chicago who is SO
thoroughly conversant with the educational
system of the city, who knows so we'll the
e1cellences that should be cultivated and the
embarrassments that should be avoided, ~
does Mr.. WELLS. His knowledge, his expe-
rience, and his personal integrity demand
that he be retained in the Board as long as he
is willing to serve in 50 thankless position.
But, whatever changes Mayor HARRISON
may make, it is certain that he ought not, in
this case, land his ear to the partisan clique
that demand that ss none but Democrats be
placed on guard" The Board Of Education,
Of all municipal Institutions, should bs kept
free from the communicating influences of
ward politics. The fact that citizen,
otherwise competent, is Democrat, is no
objection to his appointment to this Board,
any more than would be the circumstance. Of
his belonging to particular Church; but to
make up such Board entirely Of partisan
Democrats would be as damaging to the ed
ucadonal interests Of the city as to consti-
,tute it entirely of denominational Catholics,
Aethodists, or Jews, who would govern the
schools from dogmatic and sectarian stand
point. It will be impossible for Mayor HAB-
a1soH to regard and trent the School Board
IS part Of the political patronage without
appointing incompetent and Objectionable
men, for the simple reason that the partisan
machine = il run by ward politicians of
little sympathy with, and still less knowledge
Of, the school system There is 70 doubt
that strong pressure: will BE- brought to
bear upon the Mayor to psddie ont these
appointments in reward for dirty partisan
work but be will do the city and himself a
vast injury. if he shall yield to this dis
reputable pressure. -,
!. Tbs power Of the Board of Education for
good or for evil is very important. It af-
fects the entire community, either as tax
payers OF as bene6ciaries Of the public |
schools If it shall ever become part Of |
the political machine, then it will be but q |
short time before the army Of teachers will |
Do selected solely on account Of the partisan |
brought to bear in their behalf, and |

The disingonuousness OF the Nation with re-
gard to the silver question is morrifying token
OF the failure Of high-c]ass journalism In this
country. The Nation has pretended to be- an ad-

ethics in this country; but its persistent falstd-
cation Of the facts in its discussions OF the silver
question, and its vulgar abuse Of persons who
have differed from It, have eivcn it quite an

UNPUBLISHED CR1ME IN KENTUCKY.
A few days since The CHICAGO TRIBUNE
| commented upon the remarkable controversy
between the Louisville Courier Journal and
the Cincinnati Gazette upon the relative
crimes Of OHIO and kentucky, and pointed
social crimes in the two States is about the
same, but that there are three Glasses OF
orime in Kentucky which are unknown in
| Ohio and tho other Northern States, namely !:
the vendetta, tho duel, and murders for
| political causes, These are distinctive char
acteristics of Southern society, and they ara
now and always have been ths disgrace Of
| that section. =: .~
In confirmation Of this charge, here ia
some testimony that cannot be questioned
even by Mr.. WArrERsoN. A correspondent
of the New York World, an ultra Democratic
paper, which cannot b charged with any
prejudice against the Southern Bourbons,
recently had an interview with the venerable
Bishop sM1rH, of Kentucky, the senior Pre-
late Of the Episcopal Church in America In
the course Of that interview tho Bishop re-
marked that his State has fearful history Of
unpunished murders, that every portion OF
her soil has been tarnished by brutality, and
that events which elsewhere would have
raised CRY Of righteous indignation have
n1f% nLxy S17cf1 1Hok1
homicides. Further, in the course of the
conversation, the venerable Bishop narrated
his Intellectual attempt forty years ago to in
duce Mr. GUTHRIE, who was Secretary Of the
Treasury under President PIERCE, and at
that time Senator, to amend the code so
that murderers could be punished In rela-
ton to this code, Bishop ssurH says:
1.-THE code Of Kentucky is peculiar In the matter
Of taking life. The ancient rule OF 4 life for
life is recognized. and to some extent put in prac
tice. Among some nations where this rule was
held it was the practice Of the aVengor to shoot
down his victim without hint or warning; but 8
Kentuckian would acorn this. He announces his
purpose; it ts talked OF By friends Of both men

sumption Of the largest possible SUM, or
weight, or number of the comforts and good
things Of thus life ; and any policy that tends
to bring about scarcity, as opposed to an
abundance, is clearly directed to defeat tho
end Of all labor. The general reduction of
production is Of necessity step in the direc-
ton Of general poverty the largest possible
abundance Of production is in the direction
Ct the end Of human happiness, wealth, and
enjoyment. An overdowing harvest and q
famine fairly represent the extreme con-
ditions Of abundance and scarcity, and all
schemes to reduce production, or to in
crenss it, are necessarily directed to
ona or the other Of these conditions
The improved plow was q vast benefit to
mankind, because it was q measure OF en-
larged production; SO has been the reaper
and binder, the thresher and mower, the
stean-engine, the ootton-gin, the railway,
The sewing machine, the roling-mill, the
power-loom, and all the other. thousand
machines and agencies by which labor has
been able to enlarge and multiply its pro-
ductions, and cheapen. them as well. To
reduce the hours Of labor one-ffth, and
exact the same wages for the reduced labor,
must increase the cost Of production with
out: any increase Of the mems Of purchase.
Thus, if 100 man now work ten hours each
day, and their wages are 50 each, then the
cost Of the product Of their 1000 hours of
labor is 5000; If, instead of this, the hours
Of labor be reduced to eight, and the
wages be the same, then it Will require 125
men to furnish the product Of 1000 hours,
and the cost will bs $3.50. How is this i'd
