OS Monday the experiment Of granting
liquor TO natives was tried. All the argu.
ments that could have been used against
the law have long ago been used: the only
thing that those interested in the matter
can do. Is 10 sit by and watch events
That there should have been some con
siderable excitement when the strict tabu
was taken of, was to be expected; but we
must congratulate our native fellow citi.
zens on the day having passed off in a
very orderly manner At 10 O'Clock in the
evening there were only four cases Of
drunkenness locked mp in the station
house There was. however. a consider
able amount Of intemperance, and we our
selves noticed several very bad cases in
the direction Of Pauoa.
For results we must wait for at least a
couple Of months or so. We trust that
the good sense of the native may stand
him in good stead, and that as a body this
change in the law may do little harm, if it
does no particular good In one particu-
lar it nil do good. and that is it will put a
stop 10 the miserable system of illicit
liquor selling which was doing so much
mischief

THE news from Egypt Is eminently salts
factory. Sir Garnet Wolseley has gained
another Of those triumphs which are to
hand his name down to history as one OF
the most dashing, and at the same time
the luckiest of Captains of modern OF
almost any time This luck" as it is
called, can only be apparent, the real
secret Of Sir Garnet's success Is his admir-
able faculty for organization. He waits
quietly until he has everything in train
and then be can afford to strike and strike
in an unexpected manner as at Tel-el-
Kebir: though there was some sharp
fighting. the affair was really carried by a
o0Vp 3s main. 1t Is inspiring to those OF
the same race to hear how magnlficently
the Hfqiiaadcrs and the Guards behaved;
that long seven miles march through the
sand was a severe test OF the endurance
of the men. and when we think that after
ii, they formed in perfect line and charged
the Egyptian entertainments, without the
slightest pause. We can form some notion
of what splendid material the men are

An American paper, writing OF the bat
tie says 1t Is the most important that has
been fought by English troops since the
Waterloo. At first sight this may not
appear so, but when we reflect what would
have been the result. what serious train
of circumstances would have arisen had
Sir Garnet's force been defeated. we can
understand that the estimate of the battles
Importance, though very high one in
deed. is not out Of the way The success
of the English arms in Egypt will have a
quoting effect upon the whole of the
seething populations of Asia; petty prince
lets. with small royalties, will realize
that when England chooses to exert her
strength. her power as far as they are
concerned, Is not only irresistible but it Is
annihilating. and they will take care to
avoid occasion of offence. The collapse
of Arab Pasha may save a dozen weasel
wars upon the African and Asiatic frontiers
of the British Empire. The result of the
war Will be hailed with satisfaction by men
Of all shades Of thinking, whether the re
suits Of the diplomacy which is to follow
will be as satisfactory, Is very problemati
cal: diplomatic negotiations do not as a
rule command the same respect as success
in arms.

The following criticism of General Sherman up

The following criticism of General Sherman up
on Sir Garnet Wolseley, is we'll worth reproducing
again in the Light of the recent news. General
Sherman said that WOlseley is not only soldier
of great ability, but that his late movement upon
Isuaiia was equal to anything of a similar char
acter undertaken by the first Napoleon. 1t will be
remembered that General Sherman not many years
since visited the Of the present hosiiliies in
Egypt, and is perfectly familiar with the theater of
operations, and during our civil war had great
deal Of experience in flank movements. He says
Wolseley showed great nerve in taking the sacred
bull by the horns, TO speak without waiting for
the result Of negotiations at Constantinople. "Ah
he is great soldier, that Wolseley- said the Gen
eral, "a great soldier. The English people will
pay him well. and he knows it,

Gle in support Of what we had already
advanced
The ?. e. l. denies point biaak that the

trade and asserts that it only enquired
about quotations Notwithstanding this
denial the Government did order the lum-
her but a gentleman having some in
fiuence with the Ministry made them with
draw it. II attempts TO deny that the
Government had any difficulty in raising
sufficient sum TO send the Postmaster
General on pleasure trip to Japan. but
they did horc such difficulty Mr. Spreckels
and Mr. Patty Of the firm Of Bishop a Co.
were each applied TO for money and both
refused. and the letter Of credit FOR the
agent Of the Board of Immigration who
goes 10 Portugal was subjected TO a re
arrangement and several important re
strictions and amendments were made

The Merchants Privilege Tax-

-
A committee of merchants APP
pointed at the recent merchants
meeting held to take some steps
toward the reduction of the Cypress
i've merchants privilege tax, went
before the County Court last Mon
day and petitioned that body to re-
duce the tax. The Court were Of
the opinion that they could do
nothing until the matter had been
acted upon by the Legislature and
out of Difference to the merchants
postponed the fixing of the rate OF
privilege tax until the 1st day OF
May to await the action of the
General Assembly in the matter.
The Legislature vii be memorial
lied by the merchants and asked to
reduce the tax. As it now stands it
is undoubtedly oppressive and oner-
Gus and smacks greatly of class
legislation. We cannot think it
was the intention OF our legislators
to impose tax on merchants which
now amounts to almost prohibition
and we confidently expect that
when the true operation of the law
is placed correctly before that body,
they will, in their wisdom, reduce
the merchants privilege tax.
