A Fitting Act of Generosity.

The belief which we lately expressed
that Mr.. JAMES GORDON BENNETT would
deem 1t proper to make due provision for the
families of those who have persisted ON the
Jeanette expedition, is confirmed by our
esteemed contemporary The Neu York
Herald, which yesterday announced that
care would be taken of every widow and
every orphan of the men who We're lost.
The Herald also gracefully acknowledges
our kindness in affording 1t n suitable oppor-
tunity to make this announcement
Mr.. BENEFITS action in the matter is
proper and generous, and what we expected.
We said that IL the Jeanette expedition
had been successful, Mr.. BENNETT would
have gained immense credit. He depre-
Gates this statement as too fattering
The conception OF the enterprise, he says,
was due to another, and the credit and honor
would also, and justly, have belonged to that
other and his gallant companions in the
event of success
Admitting all this. we still think our state
ment was none too strong.
We learn with surprise from the Herald
that scurrlous ISLANDERS charging its pro-
prietor with cruelty in this matter have been
circulated from sources which it mentions in
this city We were not previously aware Of
any such intimation having been made.
Our paragraph, which that journal uses as
the text OF its article on the subject, had no
reference to suggestions Of that nature.

but an antiquarian interest, and we are not
tempted, therefore, to quote M. D'HAUssoN-
v1LLE's report OF them.
On the whole, we opine that NJ D'HAus-
soNvILLE would have done well to confine
himself in his pleasant narrative Of travel,
to recording the good looks and winsome-
ness Of American young women--a topic, by
the w. II --hich he does ample justice-and
other social phenomena rs to which his own
eyes could he trusted, and upon which he
was unlikely to be studiously misiniormed
by astute and interested persons. His book,
when completed, may afford some useful
hints to Mr.. HENRY JAMES, Jr., and other
delneators OF the nice differences between
American and European manners, but 1t will
scarcely commend itself to serious inqulrers.

peared to be out of harmony with the church

On the contrary, the eX-Deacon has instgatcd
bill at Albany to further his railroad projects
by perpetually prohibiting the rcopcnng for
railroad purposes of the tunnel that is now en-
tombed beneath Atlantic avenue. Some years
ago n Frenchman wanted the tunnel to raise
mushrooms. Perhaps the eX-Deacon. who
doesn't lack an eye for profit, is contemplating
turning his attention to mushroom gardening
for change from Sunday railroad building.

One thing at least seems demonstrated in
regard to the Egyptian embodiment. by the
events OF last week. viz. that ARAB Bey has
been for tho last year u much more conspicu-
Gus person than he deserved to be. When the
pinch came 1t turned out that he had
nobody behind him except few score
of officers whom he had recently pro-
noted. The Chamber Of Notabes. which
he called into existence. peremptorily refused
to do his bidding; the chief men Of the towns
and villages on whom he called for the army re-
serves treated his summons with contempt the
Bedouins offered to occupy Cairo in the inter-
est Of the Khedive; and even some Of his COL
leagues in the Ministry tried to make terms
on their own account. Altogether. the
author of the programme. Egypt for
the Egyptians seems to have been
left in the lurch. and his dismissal and
humiliation will not probably be long deferred.
The present Ministry. 1t is true. are permitted
to retain their posts temporarily, but although
they Frustrated themselves with all the show Of
repentance and abasement at the feet OF the

they were naturally treated with much cool
ness. Under the circumstances they must be
held to have evinced good deal OF assurance in
suggesting that the English and French squad
rons should withdraw from Egyptian waters on
the ground that the crisis is past. The English
and French Consuls answered that the ships
would remain until certain desirable changes
had been made in the Egyptian Administra-
ton. which OF course meant that ARAB and
his colleagues would have to retire to private
life. Meanwhile French gunboats have occu-
pied the points adapted to the defence Of the
Suez Canal. to guard against any possible in
jury to public property through an outbreak Of
ARABI's partisans.
So far as the Khedive is personally concerned.
he is gamer by the movements which have
brought the disaffection OF ARABI's party to a
head. He is more powerful to-day in Egypt
than he has been for upward of year
and. according to the most trustworthy
information. he uses power in an intelligent
and disinterested way that is n revea-
ton to the Nile land. II Egypt is
to exist henceforward as a semi-independent.

The vote in the London Reform Club the
other day on the question whether the de-
csion regarding the admission Of members
should hereafter be left to q committee. repre-
sents the last phase OF quarrel between Mr..
FORSTER and Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN. which has been
seething for twelve years. The dissension be-
tween these prominent Liberals has become
n matter Of public interest now that it
is understood to have had much to do
with the species of revolution in the Cabinet
whose outward sign was the reputation Of Mr.
FoRsTER's policy. The variance began in 1870
whom Mr.. FORSTER was II more important man
than he is now. and when Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN
was relatively humble member Of the Liberal
party. 1t was occasiOncd by the formers stub
born and somewhat arrogant refusal to assent
to certain notifications of the Education bill
which the latter had strenuouSly urged in the
interest Of his constituents. Three years later
Mr.. GLADSTONE was beaten through coalition
of English nonconformists and Irish Catholics
with the Catholics. and Mr. CHAMBERLAIN did not
hesitate 20 charge this defeat on Mr. FORSTER
He declared he never would forgive him. and
he never has. When the Liberals returned to
power in 1880. it turned out that Mr.. CHAMBER
LAIN through tho wide extension of the Biz
mingham caucus system. had become n poti-
cal parsonage of quite as much Importance as
his old enemy. and he was accordingly made
President of the Board Of Trade. while Mr.
FORSTER became Chief Secretary for Ireland
Hcnceforward there were three parties in the
Cabinet. viz. the Old Wings. represented by
Lord GRANVILLE and Lord HARRINGTON. the
old-fashioncd Liberals. OF whom FORSTER is II
type. and the Radical element. whose Minis
terial chiefs are Messrs. CHAMBERLAIN and
DlLRE. That tho Radical section OF the
party is already the most powerful as regards
popular support. and is destined to exercise
complete ascendancy is understood by every
body in England except tho fast dwindlng
body of voters who adopt the opinions
Of the London press. That Mr.. GLADSTONE
had inclined during the last six months
to Mr.. CHAMBERLAlN's side was indicated by
many signs. including the temporary release
of Mr.. PARNELL on parole, and it WAS openly
demonstrated at the Cabinet meeting in
which he announced his intention to
release the suspects and to introduce such

chanrss of policy a. would practically

Tenchant changes OF policy a. would practically
compel Mr.. FoRsTER's resignation. This action
on the part Of the Premier was a great triumph
for Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN as we'll rs for Ire
land. but IL was we'll nigh nipped In the
bud by the Dublin tragedy 1t is note
worthy that the Marquis Of HARRINGTON
seems for some time to have sided with
MIR. CHAMBERLAIN. although his political
and social predictions would naturally
lead him to favor the other party in the contro-
versy. When Mr.. CHAMBERLA1N's brother was
blackballed not long ago by Mr.. FoRsTERs
friends and the aristocratic Liberals OF Belgra-
via. Lord HARRINGTON expressed great indig-
nation. and took a prominent part In the move
ment which aimed TO lodge In a select commit
tee the power to pronounce ON the fitness OF
candidates. The proposition was voted on last
week. and was defeated by u very small majority.
and there is reason TO believe that but for the
murder Of Lord FREDERICK CAvENDIsH. which
Mr.. FoRsTER's friends ascrbe to the change In
the Governments Irish policy. the motion
would have been carried. As 1t is. the Reform
Club will either be compelled in the end to
admit such men as the brother of the President
of the Board Of Trade. or far-sighted Liberals
like Mr.. GLADSTONE and Lord HARRINGTON will
resign and form a new organization.

Is Infant Baptism Going Out of Vogue {,

The Baptists, 1t is well known have always
been bitterly opposed to infant baptism, or
pedobaptism, as they term it. They contend
that only those who are able OF themselves
to make profession Of faith, and who give
evidences of conversion, are entitled to re-
celve the ordinance. Accordingly, even if
person has been baptized in infancy after the
requirements of another religious dcnomina-
ton, the Baptists will not admit him to
church membership among them until he
has again been baptized as they hold CHRIST
directed that is, by immersion.
The distinctive features of the Baptist faith
and practice are, therefore, adult baptism and
baptism by immersion only. These separate
them very widely us a denomination from
nearly all other Christian communons. The
Baptists must stand alone il they follow
their doctrines to their logical conclusion
According to their belief. baptism is n naces-
sary preliminary to church membership. 1t
can be administered only after a personal
profession OF faith, and only by immersion
The great mass of Christeudom, therefore,
have not been baptized at ALL in their opin-
ion, have not been introduced into the Church.
have not obeyed CHRIsT's commands and
arr uoI cHIlIlcu W BIZ ~ IlIS communion Ia
bic. Only by arguing that baptism is not
necessary requisite for communion can
they justify themselves in admitting pcdo-
baptist to the Lords Supper with them.
That Is what some of them do some of those
who profess what they term open COM
munion views.
But unquestionably from the Baptist point
OF view tho open communicates occupy II
position not at all tenablc. If baptism is not II
prerequisite to communion, an initiatory
rite, what is It? 1t Is not surprising, there
fore, to find that the great progress made in
this country by the Baptsts is made by those
who demand that the communion shall be
strictly confined to those baptized by INNER
sion. The avowed open-communion churches
are comparatively few in number here.
Yet, though they are so widely separated
from the rest or nearly all the rest OF the

the most startling and important character
upon the other side of the Atlantic do not af-
feet the circulation of The sun The assas-
slnation Of the Car had no effect; the be-
ginning OF coercive measures in Ireland by
the arrest OF MICHAEL DAvIrT had none;
even the Dublin asSassinations of a few days
ago had little, If any. Prolonged public ex-
element over European affairs, however
may materially influence circulation. The
Franco-Prussian war carried The sun from
about 100000 to weekly averages of 10000

war was much less noticeable.
