WHAT MOST PLEASED A DUKE

The Duke Of Sutherland visited Gen.
in Virginia, last week. and told the cop
per-skinnetl scholars and their instruct
ors that he had seen rothing since land
ing in America which afforded him equal
interest and pleasure. The Senators at
Washington will remember with some
discontinue that the Duke had Just paid
a visit to the Senate Chamber when he
made that remark. But in proof OF its
sincerity. it may be said that the Duke
and his party devoted a day to visiting
Captain Pratt's Indian school at Carlisle
Barracks. 1t was intensely interesting
to the Duke to witness the exercises
which exhibited to him something of the
customs of savages, but what astonished
him most was the progress the Indian
boys and girls have made during the few
months they have had training at their
schools. The Duke If Sutherland is Il
man OF much practical sagacity, devoted
to the proper administration of the affairs
of the colony of 2l 600 people who reside
upon his estate in England. and in study
ing the work of General Armstrong and
Captain Pratt he has shown himself not
only philanthropist but man Of much
keener discernment than most Of our own
countrymen, He perceives in Gen. Arm
strong aud Capt. Pratt's scheme of In
ance. 1t is the beginning OF Il true Indian
policy for the nation, and ten years hence
everybody will recognize the fact, and
honor the men who have been so happily
honored by the Duke of Sutherland.

AROLISHING SLAVERY IN EGYPT

Gamhetta's presence and toast at the
banquet in Paris to celebrate the ab"li-
tol of slavery directs attention to the
movement to abolish slavery in Egypt
Tie khedive is said to be favorable to
emancipation. but he hesitates to act be
cause he fears the opposition of intiuen-
tial Egyptians. The English philanthro-
pists purpose to encourage MIN to become
an emancipator. The same arguments
are used in Egypt for the defense of
slavery as were used in the United States.
1t is urged that the slaves are more com
tortahle and happy than they would be
if set free. and this plea is made con-
cerning even the harem slaves. But the
English abolitionists reply that slavery
in Egypt implies the continuance Of the
brutal slave trade to supply the slave
market, and that every consideration of
humanity demands the breaking up of
that infamous traffic. Besides. it is said
that the emancipatsd slaves would ulti-
mately, if not immediately, rise to Il bet
ter condition than is possible in servi-
tude. 1t is probable that Egypt, the
country whose slaves are the first de-
>cribed in history, will erelong contain
no bondsmen, and such Il prospect is an
unmistakable evidence that, in spite of
much darkness. the world does make
some progress in the right direction.

SPLITTING THE SOLID SOUTH.

While the ostcnsible object of the ALI.
ance on the part of the Republicans with
Mr.. Malone was to split the solid
South, yet it was sclf-cvidently absurd
for party whose strongest and ''livest'
issues are those growing out of the tnan-
cial questions, to endanger its hold on
the honest money and debt-paying States
that arc its main strength. by even the
appearance OF Irritation with Malone s
regulators. no matter how earnest the
latter might be in their tight for free
suffrage and an honest count. The Re-
publican party cannot successfully fight
Greenbackers i'll Maine and favor rep,l-
iators in Virginia. 1t is a NATIONAL party
and its strength is in its fidelity To prin-
ciples worth fighting for.
But we must "split the solid South -
Very well. let us do so, if we can. First,

gent men in the South that Republican
