MIR Combines NEW PARTY.

Sundry Democratic newspapers seem dis
posed TO treat Mr. Conkling very much as that
gentleman treats the public, to wit: as though
he were so lacking in discrimination and COM
mon sense that with little tiattcIy be could
be made to believe the most absurd and pre-
aosterous statements. TO Mr.. COnkling try
Ing to make an incredulous public believe that
a serenade which had been the talk of the town
and the subject of newspaper comment for
three or four days previous, and for which his
own grounds had been deliberately decorated,
was surprise to him, come these two or three
newspapers with the assurance that the re-
marks he made upon that occasion are making
a tremendous sensation throughout the cOun-
try, and that the Republicans are greatly
alarmed lest he should organize "a new party
And they evidently think they can make him
believe it. Well, it must be admitted that
they have much better prospect for making
Conkling believe them than he has for max
ing the public believe him. That eccentric news
paper The World works itself up into quite a
little wine-and- whey ecstacy over the speech,
which it says was "a cool set speech" whose
reverberation y has been heard "at Washing
ton and elsewhere" And though it contained

of allusion chiefly" it says "they were impor-
tant and suggestive enough to flutter the Con-
gressional dovecotes." One of these points was
that party ties rest on men more lightly.than for
merry, and the other was his reference to the
tendency on the part of Congress to extrava-
CANT and wasteful appropriations. Out of these
illusions come the Ieverberation" and the
shutter" and Mr. Conkling is flattercd by the
notion that he has with very little effort made
very great sensation.
Having advanced this proposition, The World
proceeds to take up what it considers MI ar
raignment of the Republican party by the ex-
Senator, and thereon to preach Democratic
sermon. In a somewhat lnconsequent way il
says that a. the one appeal on which the Repub-
"icans still rely is to popular prejudice against
" the Democratic party" and that = the corrup-
tionists keep crying out that the Democratic
"party opposed the war and declared the war
"a failure" while "as matter of fact the
democratic party did neither of these
things" "The resolution adopted at Chi
"cago IN 1864 declaring the war failure might
"have been penned at that time by any one of q
dozen prominent Republicans" The peril
nency of this line of discussion to Mr.. Conk-
ling's reverberating and iluttering speech is not
quite clear. But The World evidently enter

The acts in the Egyptian drama follow one an
other with startling rapidity. With tho escape OF
Arab from Alexandra new field OF operations
opens Nd and it becomes at oncelan interesting in
ouiry in which direction the Egyptian army has re-
treated The railway to Caro- would seem to afford
the best chance of placing the pursuers at dlSad
vantage. The chief stores of the army
are at Cairo, and the railways converglng
on that point could easily be cut before
the British could follow Even if menaced
by too large force, Arab has still the vast plains
of Upper Egypt to retire to, with both the Nile and
the railroad to Stout as base of operations The
question most interesting to European countries is
whether he will turn aside or send detachment
and cut the Suez Canal. 70 do 80 at two places as
near as possible TO Port Said and Suez would be his
best strategy as would hinder troops and supplies
being sent across the Peninsula and
prevent for the moment junction
of the Indian forces and the troops arriving
from England. Navigation may be easily stopped
by scnttng vessels laden with stones or by blowing
UP the banks but to how far the canal itself can
be permanently injured is not so clear. We must
first realize what the structure really Is
Leaving Port said the canal, for a distance of
twenty-eight miles to Kantara, runs through Lake

of the banks would result in any serious Hood in
either direction. The width of the canal is about

MR. cAuEROVS WASTED BAIT.

The PENNSYLVANIA Independents have decided
to reject all the propositions for harmony sub
mitted by the Cameron State Committee, ana
we are unable to sec how they could have
done otherwise. Tersely summed up, the object
of each of the propositions was the same-to
save Cameron and his Boss system. AS one OF
the Cameron Committee elegantly expressed it,
they had been aiming only to q get the indie
pendents into hole" They cared nothing for
the party, nothing for the State. They were
trying to invent some scheme which would ruin
the Independents and save the Boss. The In
dependents have declined to walk into this OBJ
vious trap OF the four propositions submitted
by the committee, the third was the only one
wortbv q moment;s consideration. That
offered to consent to a call for new conven-
ton to nominate new ticket either from the
candidates already in the field or from the
party at large as the Independents might de-
sire. the delegates to be chosen in accordance
with the rules drawn up by the Independents
to regulate the conduct of primaries AS it
originally stood this proposition was apparently
n fair one but it was subsequently weakened
and made obscure in its force by the adoption
of a fourth proposition which said that the new
convention should be chosen under the rules
adopted by the Harrisburg convention, which
were by no means those advocated by the indie
pe2dents.
But taking the third proposition by ITSELF and
giving it the most liberal Interpretation pos
sible, it is difficult to see how the Independents
could afford to accept it. In the first place the
committee omitted TO take the one step which
we have all along insisted upon as a necessary
preliminary to a successful settlement. They
did not offer to withdraw absolutely their
present ticket, in case the Independents would
do the same, and unite in a new convention
for a new ticket Instead of doing this they
virtually said that they would only submit to a
new convention for che purpose OF seeing If
such a body would not contain majority for
their present ticket. The joint letter of the
Cameron candidates was carefully drawn to say
the same thing. They did not offer to with
draw from the field but merely said they.wore in
favor of submitting their candidacy TO such
ponular tests as would show whether they OF
the Independent candidates could command
the more Republican votes. This Is evading
/ the issue. The question is no longer which
faction is the stronger, or whether Beaver could
poll more votes than Stewart What is wanted
is man who can poll more votes than Pattlson.

LILLE COREANS IND TIE TARIFE

The treaty which has just been adopted be-
tween the United States and COrea, to be rat
fled in a year, is much more just III Its terms
than that which was forced upon Japan by
England and this country when It's ports were
first thrown open to the world. 1t fOrmulates
brief arrangement as to tariff, which is to be
maintained only until Corea shall have learned
enough of the matter (of which she is now
profoundly ignoranD to establish her own
scale of impost duties. The present tariff levles
eleven per cent on all the necessares OF life
and thirty per cent on Injuries. such as
liquor, tobacco, clocks, etc. Americans are ad-
mitted to the treaty ports, and can live and
trade in them in every kind of national or
foreign produce OF manufacture except guns,
rifles. ammunition and ginseng; rice is also ex-
cepted in time of scarcity; but no American
can travel or trade in the interior. Opium Is
made the subject of separate strict prohlDl-
tory clause. COreans are to be admitted to
live, to trade or to manufacture In any part
of the United States Why this welcome is ex-
tended to this people, who are but KIND OF
semi-savage bastard Chinese, while the Chinese
themselves are shut out, is problem difficult
to answer. Special privileges are permitted to
Corean scholars who may come among us.
The number of Coreans likely to visit this
country either for purposes OF trade or schol-
arShip will be enthusiastically small, for the
reason that there are as few traders and schol-
airs in Corea as there are snakes Ill Ireland.
The Corcans are reported to be for the most
part illiterate, brave mountainecrs igno-
rant of the arts and sciences. They are poor
but satisfied with their mountains and their
poverty. The throwing open OF her ports to
other nations and the treaties formed with
them are really of very slight Importance to
anybody but the Corean King, who has taken
this step to secure allies and to defend himself
against Russia. The majority of the Coreans
are fiercely opposed to the movement, and any
adventurous foreigner who should penetrate
to the interior for trade or any other purpose
would have need of but short shrift Corea is
lust now the bone over which Russia China
and Japan have met, and are cycling each
other like hungry dogs. each with the intent
of gobbling it up. The country is the key to
northeastern China and the Sea of Japan,
hence position of great strategical impor-
lance TO each of these three nations.

West Point is TO be discontinued as sep

This is an excellent change. There is no rea-
son why any military school, however admir-
able in all its workings, should be pulled out
into separate department of an army. For
one thing. ii has bad effect on the cadets and
some of the officers connected with the instl-
tuition. Attaching too great importance to the
school tends TO give the benefciarles OF the
