J1rSTLY CAREFUL OF HIS DIGNITY.

General Beaver has made the engaging an
nouncement that he will not accept Senator
Stewards courteous invitation to joint discus
sion because he thinks the time for that way
of conducting canvass has gone by. He Is
afraid. moreover, that joint discussion would
lead to personalities which would be undig-
ni6ed. He is adverse to getting into a
- vrancleu with Senator Stewart. What a
tremendously dignifed candidate the General
has become all at once We very much fear he
has been subjected to n gaggng process by
somebody. Previous to the Independent nom
ination he went about talking with great deal
more freedom than dignity about all sorts OF
things and all sorts of persons He spoke OF
the Independents with great contempt and was
opposed to treating them as Republicans at all.
But his most Otf-hand remarks were made
about Senator Cameron. He was asked a a
Dublic meeting what he had to say about being
Boss Camerons man, and in the heat OF the
moment he replied that he was nObOdy's man,
and added the curious remark that Don Cam
eron is a very little man. This he subse-
ouently attempted to modify by explaining
that he referred TO the Senator's physical pro-
portions-an explanation which for scintillating
b,illiancy has rarely, if ever. been equalcd
After this unfortunate performance the Gen
eral lapsed into Il silence which has been sub
stantially unbIokcp ever since. He has ap-
reared no more in public, though previous to
that he had been eager to exhibit himself and
make a speech anywhere on the slightest prov
ocation 1t was even announced that he pro-
posed tour of the whole State, speaking In
every county. There are many conjectures rs
to the cause Of this sudden change o. conduct.
The one generally believed is that the Cameron
managers gently but firmly put an injunction
upon his mouth. He has shaken hands with
great freedom lately, and has once or twice made
a few dihident remarks to the casual interview
ing reporter but no speech in public has he
ventured upon.
In view of these facts it is easy to sec why he
thinks a Joint discussion with Senator Stewart
might become undgnifed." We think he is
quite right about it. 1t would undoubtedly
become very "undignifed for him. The spec
tace of any man repeatedly crawling through
a very small hole could not well be otherwise.

Journals. On the day Congress adjourned tha'

NJ. de Les seps has now been snubbed by the
French Government, which enioins upon MN
the virtues OF prudence and clrcumspecV'on'
This lecture would be moie impressive IL the
present Ministry represented anything mort
than the organized impotence OF Caoihe'
government. Possibly it has sufficient vigor
to reprimand NJ. de Lcsseps, especially as tno
Deputies have dispersed. That eccentric
parsonage has an intensely tragic ar as ho
struts up and down his great ditch, but IN re-
atty he is the only low comedian III the EsSp

Americans do not want either to build the
Panama Canal themselves or to be obliged TO

The British forces are apparently concen-

march eastward across the desert. There aIe
three reasons for haste First, audaclty
invariably succeeds in war; secondly, the
isthmus from Port Said to Suez is depend
ent for fresh water upon the Sweet water
Canal, and the supply may be cut off at IA
gazig; thirdly, Oriental troops are always
denoralized when they are not behind en-
trencbmcnts. and Arab should not be given
an opportunity for throwing up new
line of earthwOrks. There has been
a skirmsh at Shaluf, the first station
above Suez, where small body of Egyptians
were entrenching and at the same time divert
ing the course of the fresh-water canal; and
there are signs Of activity in other quarters
The movement of the Mediterranean force was
we'll timed. for the Indian contingent is already
on the ground at Suez in readiness for active
operations Ismalia, situated on the shore OF
a miniature inland sea of considerable depth,
will be a convenient base of supplies. The
shortest highroad to Cairo begins here, and Is
flanked by fresh-water canal and railroad.
The only other available line of march from
the isthmus would be the old caravan road
which crosses the Suez Canal at Kantarah.
This was the road which NapOleOn's troops
traversed to and from Acre.

The Erie freight-handlers have carried the
degradation of an ignominious defeat to the
lowest level. The resolutions in which they
entreat to be taken back into the employ of
the railway acknowledging their misbehavior
and denouncng their leaders, are very dis
creditable in form. American workingmen,
when forced to surrender, ought to yield like
men, with their heads up ana a proper sense
OF the dignity of honest labor.
