From the Spectator Of 80 Sept,

Mr.. Fawcett made a long and very
able speech to his constituents on
Tuesday. After referring with just
pride to the improvements in his
Department, and telling his hearers
that he would not give them the Par
eel Post till his organisation was rea-
dy, and that they must wait till some
months after Christmas, he turned to
Egypt, and declared that the object
OF the Government there would be
to secure to the people the best adj
mmistIation and the largest amount
of liberty practicable, without re-es-
tablishing the abuses of the late Con-
troll. He maintained that we had act
ed rightly in Ireland, and in regard
to peasant-proprietorship had gone
to the verge, or over the verge, Of a
wise liberaIty He deprecated, in a
passage which rose to unusual elo-
quence, the habit Of perpetually
granting State money, and giving to
the poor from the means of men no
richer than themselves. lie took a
hopeful view Of the future, and init
mated that the reform of the county
franchise, Of county government, and
of the government of London would
all be brought forward next Session.
lie was most cordially received, and,
indeed, it IS strange to see how spe-
cially good a working administrator
the Professor" has made. Brains
do not, as was supposed, d~isqualify
for departmental work.
The fighting chiefs are rewarded
first, as usual. 1t is officially an
nounced that both General Wolseley
and Admiral Seymour have been offer
ed and have accepted peerages. Hon
ours to subordinates cannot, of course,
be distributed until the official reports
have been received, but we trust
there will be no needless delay, and
that the medals to the soldiers will
this time be issued within three
months of the final battles. England
rewards literally but rewards too
late, an absurd waste of power, which
Mr.. ChiIders and Lord Northbrook
should be able to correct. If, at the
same time, they will distribute a few
sharp punishments, the next wal
will be much nor perfectly arrang-
ed. BY all reports, a ~disgraceful
breakdown occurred either in the
despatch or the transport Of medical
stores, even c~hloroform being want
ing for operations. individuals must
be responsible for that, and though it
may not be possible to shoot them as
privates are shot for smaller offences,
it is possible to dismiss the guilty
with ignominy from the public SER

Europe from a CHASTITY contest with
the whole Mahommedan world. We
mentioned last week that the Moors
in western Algeria on hearing the
news gave up plans of lnsurrection,
AMI information comes in day by day
showing the deep excitement of the
Mussulman world. 1t is believed
that in Mecca the new Khalif has
been proclaimed. In Syria, and es-
pecially Damascus, the Christians
were trembling for their lives, and
the Mahommedans were 50 c%onvinc-
ed Of Arabi's invincibility that they
refused to believe the fall Of Cairo.
In Suda the Turkish soldiers collect
ed for Egypt declared that they
should join Arab, whose success was
openly desired in Constantinople,
Even in the interior of Crete, where
the Christians are a majority, they
were threatened by the Moslem.
The defeat Of Sir Garnet Wolseley
would have been followed by explo-
sions which would have compelled
Europe to begin n crusade. Had
the British Government shrunk from
its work, a million lives might have
been lost in a movement which has
been suppressed with an expenditure
of less than six thousand. Nor is
life the only thing that has been saw
ed. Civilization has been saved with
it. "CiviIisation" is a "vague" word,
to European publicists but if they
were dying in the citadel Of Cairo
under the fortunes inflicted by Sulei-
man Zogheib, who is only an ordina-
~ Asiatic in temporary power, they
would recognise that it has at least
II definite meaning. How many
policemen here in England should
we expend, to say Mr.. Bright from
being thumbscrewed.
Our readers will understand a little
of what /" self-government" means in
Asia, if they will read a letter from the
TelegrapEs correspondent at Cairo,
printed on Thursday. When the
citadel of Cairo was occupied, an
Egyptian Major (Suleiman Zoghelb)
was found there, a pleasant, we'll
hammered man, who professed the
deepest friendship for all English
men. His %demeanour, however, ex-
cited some suspicion, and he was ar
rested, pending inquiry. Meanwhile
the dungeons were opened, and were
found crammed with $50 prisoners
accused of unfriendliness to Arab,
and subjected by the Major to torture
until they paid him to desist. Nal
tese were especially tortured, being
beaten into jelly, fayed or the back,
or their legs broken, and then flung
into the dungeons to the flies, where,
when they were found, they had
been four days without food. The
motive was not "fanaticism," but
simply plumber, Arabs being treated
quite as badly. One had received
1,2OO strokes of the bastinado, and
another 500, either being in ordinary
cases equivalent to hogging to death.
"Some men"-the correspondent saw
them" bore signs of thumbscrews
others, a network of hot branding on
their breasts" The Major was ar
rested, and is to be tried by court

nara as IRON, TO the immense III
provement of its whole service.
The country has heard with a SEN
sation of unmixed surprise, that a
Government like that of Mr.. Glad
stone has sanctioned the appointment
of Baker Pasha as head of the new
Egyptian Gendarmerie, = that is,
virtually, Commander in Chief in
Egypt. Baker Pasha has done no
thing whatever in Turkey which
should not only obIitcrate his dismis-
sal from the British Army, but JUST
fly his claim to singular and excep-
tional promotion. lie has not or
ganised a Turkish Gendarmerie, or
shown that he is anything, except a
good cavalry officer, with such a ge-
MUS for making friends in high pla-
ces that conduct which would have
ruined any other man, in him is treat
ed as a claim to distinction. The best
officers will not be attracted by his
name, nor will it help to inspire in
the new Egyptian Army the tong Of
character indispensable to a mixed
a half-dIsciplined and a m~ercenary
force. 1t is difficult to hope tor
improvement in the East, when even
a Government like the present, the
moment it has to deal with Oriental
affairs, shows publicly hat it thinks
of nothing except immediate conye-
nience. The Indian Government
has at its disposal at least a dozen
officers who, to far greater experience
than Baker Pasha's, add a record
which is Of itself an attraction to the
best subordinates, and a justification
Of confidence in the men, There
may be plenty Of reasons for allow
ing Baker Pasha a new chance, there
can be none for making him the head
OF the British Executive in Egypt.
The British Government and the
Khediye have decided to act with a
wise Ienity in dealing with the re-
belIion. A general amnesty will, it
is stated, be shortly published, from
which none but a small number of
leaders will be excluded. They will
be tried publicly by a mixed tribunal
appointed by the Khedive, and con
sisting of five European and four
Egyptian officers, and the sentences
subsequently revised both by the
Khedive and Sir E. Malet. It would
be most injudicious to punish mere
treason with death, or to execute
conscript mutineers ; but the higher
officers deserve death for mutiny
alone, and when mutiny has been
aggravated by murder, 1t should be
inflicted. For example, we can see
no reason, moral or political, why
the officers who ordered the Khedive
to be burned alive should be treated
as anything but murderers. Our
correspondent from Alexandria, who
may be trusted, affirms, on the direct
authority of the Khedive, that such
orders we're given and we at least
cannot see that the crime is the less
because the criminals had voluntari-
ly taken the military oath to their
intended victim, or because Tewfk
happens to be a ruler. Sovereigns
are human beings.

vice. The Government is habitually
far too lenient to such offences. A
great contracting firm would be as
hard as iron, to the immense i'm
provement Of its whole service.
