WHAT HAVE rmEY DONE.

Congress will perhaps adjourn in a
few days more, and IL would be edifying,
indeed, 20 have the administration or
gans point out some Of tho great meas
rres that have been passed. The people
demanded relief from exorbitant taxa
ton. They demand it yet, but no heed
is or has been paid to their wants by
the present Congress The chief aim
of the party in power seems to be to
end new objects upon which TO lavish
its generosity in the shape OF enormous
appropriations. The country Is troubled
with too plethoric treasury. Corfu p
tion and extravagant legislation with all
its attendant ills are the results. Instead
OF applying the pruning knife at the
source of the evil, and reducing taxa
ton, the only thing the American states
nan of today seems to think of ia, how
can tho surplus moneys inthe treasury DO
expended for the best interest of the
party in power. No steps have been
taken that will afford any immediate
relief from taxation. The tariff COM
mission is a subterfuge and sham, and
the result Of desire Of the present
congress to delay action against the
great protected monopolies of the coun'
try. 1t amounts to nothing, aud no
relief will be attained through this
channel. The house, in an attempt TO
quiet the clamor Of th, taxpayers, did
originate a measure, apparently for the
purpose of reducing taxation, whilst in
truth it was simply gotten up in the
interest of bankers, pro7rietors OF pat
ent medicines, match manufacturing
monopolies and the like. The Senate
committee, alarmed at the popular
outcry against this measure, attempted
to give it some show of plausibility by
adding stcel, sugar and other Items to
those already contained in the bill.
This opened the door to other amend
ments in the Sepate, and gave the dem.
ocrats an opportunity of testing the
sincerity of The republicans. Needed
amendments were sought to be added
by the democratic members and, in the
discussions which ensued, the mask
dropped from the faces of the party in
power, and let the world see that the
efforts to reduce taxation were all bun.
combr. Measures TO reduce taxation
have been abandoned. The wants oi
the farmer, the mechanic. the laborins
man, and all, are left unheeded and
nothing bat disgrace awaits the present
congress for their neglec. Of the peoples
need.

GENERAL CROP PROSPECTS,.

Crop reports from all parts of the
country show that the harvest this year
will be a most bountiful one. In
Kansas, Missouri and Texas, the crop
are already harvested, aud at no time
Ia the history of those States have the
crops Of. all kinds been so large. Ia
Nebraska, the yield is unprece dented !,
aad good reports come from Minnesota
and Dakota. Ohio will produce more
wheat, but less corn and oats than
usual. In some parts of Illinois the
corn crop will be light, but probably
the yield will not be much below the
average. Throughout the south the
promise Of abundant crops is most fiat
tering, and even in Louisiana, in spite
of the floods in the spring the product
.Sf sugar and cotton will be as good as
the average. In all parts of the coun-
TRY the strikes are substantially over
and all the forns of labor are receiv-
ing good prices and constant employ
nent. Every thing indicates that
the year is to be one of unexampled
prosper itF,

veto power, against the public welfare.
But Arthur did this very thing. 1t is
reported on good authority, that while
discussing the propriety of vetoing the

in the Cabinet the discussion always

ed finally that it would hurt his chan

it. Hsncs the veto.

While the senate was considering
tie bill purporting to be blu
reducing internal-revenue taxation'
Senator Bayard, objected that a
reduction Of So per ton on Bessemer
steal trails would not be q sufficient
reduction to meet the wants of the
people. In the course of one of the
ables. addresses We have ever read he
said: ''The payment of a double price
for steel rails was no more voluntary y
than the voluntary payment by the poor
clerks of these political assessments
to Mr.. Hubbell, L was involuntary,
It had to be done or the railroads could
not Be built Senator Bayard showed
eonclusiyely that certain members of
congress who voted to increase the daty
on steal rails to It's present high figure,
were among the few who enjoyed the
privilege of the process By which such
rails were made, and that members, by
se voting, dishonesty used the public
trust of legislative power to enrich them
selves. It was proved short time since
In one of the courts of Philadelphia,
that yearly dividend of II per cent
profit had been declared by those who
controlled the Besssmer patents for
making these rails /; and all this because
of the high protection afforded by the
government in placing tariff Of S28. 90
per ton on this commodity. How many
farmers are there who have made upon
their holdings clear income and diyi-
dend in tfue years of 3S per cent Yet
when the proposition is made by demo
Gratis il congress To reduce this tax from
S28 to $14 per ton it Is voted down.
It looks very much as though the pres
snt congress is interested in all the
monepelies in the country. judging
from the result Of all efforts to reduce
the present taxation.

The task Of relieving Egypt of threat
ened anarchy, and of reestablishing tbs
Khedive's authority, has devolved upon
Great Britain. Ne assistancs is TO be
looked for from Turkey. So evasive
anu unsatisfactory kave been the an
swers of the Sultan aud 30 tortuous
his diplomacy, that Eagland without
further negotiations, Is proceeding with
out regard TO the claims Of the Sultan.
France on the other hand has declined
to interfere in restoring order, and
will con1ne herself to protecting the
Suez CANA.
The other powers for reasons best
known to themselves, do not seem dis
posed to take part in the struggle, and
it is eTen claimed by some writer's, that
the possibility Of war between Eng
land and Turkey makes some of the
powers inactivel the subjugat:on Of
Turkey to English rule would most
certainly conflict between the two pow
ers, and such termination would be
for the best interest of those powers
that are now looking on from a safe
distance.
But aid er no aid fiom other sources,
the British have determined upon dc.
cided action. The English are pre-
pared to furnish the necessary men and
money, to subdue the rebellious Egypt
tians, Notwithstanding the fact that
ohey are well. prepared with all the
munitions of modern war. Gen. Stone,
the American Egyptian Pasha, claims
that 10000 English troops will be
necessary to quell Arab Pasha. Be
that as it may England is prepared to
furnish all that is necessary to accom-
plish the work she has begun, unless
events now unforeseen, interfere to COM
plicdLe matters.
The situation is rendered little
more critical at present by the fact that
I'll Medhi, called by unbelievers the
"False Prophet" is Fastening toward
Cairo with a large following of devo
ted adherents. Should tho Sultan pro-
claim Arab Pasha a reUel, as is de.
sired by the English, this new move
on the part of I'll Medhi might play
an important part in the impending
truggle. The Mohammedans of Africa
India and Arabia have never conceded
that the Turk has established himself
as the head of Islam. But let the
Sultan disown Arab Pasha, and the |
Mohammedan hosts of the countries |
mentioned will make common cause
and enable Arab to make good his /
threat to proclaim "holy war" against
all Christendom.
The mention Of these matters is suffi
;ient to show how complicated are
matters in Egypt. AS yet, with the
exception of destroying Alexandria.
nothing of any moment has been done
