dered an impressive service in royal church,
and, wearing deep Grape on his robes,
preached thoroughly manly sermon on the
significance of English sympathy and the
characteristics OF the President. Yet what
touches Americans most deeply is the sincerity
OF the mourning among the humber classes.
Our special cable dispatches state that the
immediate consequence of the Turkish mission
TO Egypt, designed to strengthen the suzer-
alnty OF the Sultan, is that France and Eng
land are drawing closer together in the bonds
OF the financial alliance. The Controllers
who represent those Governments in Cairo are
nominated by the Khed.ve and remunerated
from the Egyptian Treasury like National Off
Gals They discuss all matters of public business
in the Cabinet councils and, without being
allowed to vote, determine the action of the
Government i'll finance, public works, aud
other questions of the first importance. These
foreign Supervisors of Administration cannot
be dismissed unless their respective Govern
ments suggest the eXpediency of such step.
Being thus jointly responsible for the admin
lstration OF the Egyptian sovereign, it will be
impossible for one to exercise more authority
than the other without causing breach be-
tween the Home Governments. The English
Controller was the more conspicuous figure
III the recent negotiations with the mob of
soldiers, but NJ. de Beignieres, the French
representative, is most adrOit diplomatist,
who has brought the influence of his nation
to bear upon all the administrative depart
ments. Jealous rivals England and France
undoubtedly are for supremacy on the Nile,
but they are now so intimately associated in
these abnormal relations to the Khedive's
government that they must go on together.
The Democrats are bent upon stealing the
Presidency if an inscrutable Providence or
Guiteau's double will help them out. They
have decided to elect Mr.. Bayard presiding
officer of the Senate before the three Republ-
can Senators can be sworn in. The conference
between the Republican and Democratic COM
mlttees was an utter failure. The Democrats
had planned the election of constitutional
successor to President Arthur and declined to
confer with the Republicans respecting the
only question at issue. The session which
is to open tomorrow will witness deliberate
attempt on the part of the Democratic party
to defraud the country out of its constitutional
rights, for it was the will of the people
year ago that there should be a Republican
President and a Republican successor in
waiting. 1t will witness also the out
break of party strife for the Republic
cans cannot remain Indifferent spectators
If the Judgment of the whole people is to be
reversed i'll the narrowest spirit of craftsmanship.
We do not assume to know whether reorgan-
ization OF the Senate can be promptly effected,
OF whether a deadlock will be created for an
indefinite period. The Democrats had con-
spicuous opportunity for displaying genuine
patriotism. They have wasted it, as a matter
of course. They have disgraced themselves
and given the signal for the renewal of un-
seemly strife at a moment when the eyes of the
world are upon us.
