take timber claims, work awhile, get dis.
couraged. and in turn relinquish to
some one else. They think it too much
trouble, and sell out. This will leave
the country without the ten acres of
trees required by law in each section.
Now for the remedy. If the law was
that there be no timber or pre-emption
claims, but oil homesteads, and require
ment be imposed upon every settler Who
takes homestead to put out two and
one.haf acres Of trees he would not
mind the trouble, and in the end would
be protected from the ever present
zephyr by grove planted on two or
four sides of his prairie home, and there
would be less dissatisfaction with home

The liquor question is not an
issue in Russian politics. The czar
regulates the traffic as he thinks for
the interest Of the public. For in
stance, decree has just gone into eff
feet by which only one liquor shop is
allowed in a village, and when several
villages are within easy walking dis
tance of each other one shop must suf-
fse for all of them. The liquor dealer
must be native of the village, must
be appointed and paid by the council,
and must sell food as well as liquor.
If he allows any one to get drunk on
his premises he is dismissed from his
office, fined and imprisoned. In this
country when a man gets drunk in a
saloon he is pushed out of doors by the
proprietor and permitted to lie in the
gutter and sober up, while the seller
is talking politics with the mayor.

OUR FOREIGN LETTER.,
From our own Correspondent

ALEXANDRA, EGYPT, July 3, 1882.
All is quiet here, but disturbances are
apprehended should the result of the
conference go against the malcon-
tents. To-day acting Consul, General
Sir Auckland Calvin, sent word to
Arab Pasha, as the guardian of pub
lie order, asking him to prevent the
nightly assemblage of Arabs in the
Place Mehemet Ali. These crowds
are sent, in the opinion of the Consul
General, to make demonstrations in
favor Of Arab; and as they belong to
the same class that perpetrated the
massacre Of the 11th, there is great
likelihood that they may some night
give rise to serious trouble.
Both the Comptrollers received in
structions on Saturday morning not to
sit with the ministers in Council. This
had a somewhat alarming effect on the
NationaIists. 1t also terrified certain
Europeans, who forthwith sent the ru-
NOR flying about that Arab Pasha
had had a list prepared Of English
officers in Egyptian pay who must not
be permitted to leave Egypt, On the
strength Of this, four gentlemen, whose
names | do not mention, fled precipi-
lately on board the ships in the har-
Dor, refusing even to return on shore
for their clothes. They leave by the
Peninsular and Oriental boat on Tues
day. Yet the rumor was wholly with
out foundation. Arab Pasha has got
no such list, and the report was mere
ly due to the exaggerated fears of the
nervosuly inclined. Happily q few
cool, courageous men remain, who are
determined to stay on the shore to the
end. These have agreed upon a place
of rendezvous in case of another riot,
and viii stand together at all hazards
l regret to say that Alexandria
may be without water shortly, the Eu-
ropean engineers having left Atfeh,
where the works are, he having been
menaced by the Arabs The fact is
the country Is quite disorganized. 1t
appears not unlikely that the railway
between Alexandria and Suez may
stop soon, because the European en-
CINE drivers lives are thought unsafe.
There has been everywhere a sudden
and complete paralysis Of business.
Already vast numbers Of Arabs are
starving. Yesterday a crowd went to
Arabi's house He asked what they
wanted, and they said bread; but he
simply told them to go away. The
house IS now guarded by soldiers. OF
course Arab can do nothing. He has
no means Of meeting the daily in
creasing want in the city For this,
moreover, he eau scarcely be blamed,
as he didnot foresec the exodus Of Eu-
roDeans. Meanwhile. the authorities
are apparentlv anxious to find out the
authors Of the consDiracv Of the 18th.
The governor Of Alexandria asked
Rodgers Bey Yesterday if he could
identify any of tie rioters. He said
he could not and it is unlikely that
anv one can.

he acknowledged making the statement;
that the Senator from West Virginia
had no knowledge of the facts. Davis

THE CONGRESSIONAL CON.
TEST.

Many Of our exchanges seem not to
understand the Congressional contest
between Wallace and Mckinley, and
speak of 1t as though Wallace's attOTneI
asked the CanVassing Board to go be-
hind the returns in counting the vote.
Nothing is more absurd than that. We
know the Board has no power to 90 be-
hind the returns, but they have power
to count the votes returned and before
their eyes. There were % votes returned
for Major Wallace, j. I'll. Wallace, John
III. Wallace, ETC., which the Board refused
to count. They delibeTatelyFshut their
eyes to these votes and added up only
the votes cast for Jonathan H. Wallace.
The law Is very clear on this point and
1t was the duty of the Board to count
these votes instead of presuming that
eight or ten Wallaces we're running for
Congress in the Eighteenth district.
Judge Cooley in his work entitled Con
stitutiOnal Limitations" gives the law
on the subject, which should have been
followed by the Board. He says: "The
name on the BALLOT should be clearly ex-
pressed and ought to be given fully.
Errors in spelling. however, will not de-
feat the ballot, If the sound is the same;
nor abbreViatiOns, if such are in COM
mon use and generally understood, so
that there can be no reasonable doubt
of the intent. And it would seem that
where ballot Is cast which contains
only the initials of the Christian name
of the candidate, it ought to be suffi-
cient, as it designates the person voted
for with the same certainty which is
commonly met with in contracts and
other private writings, and the inten-
ton OF the voter cannot reasonably be
open to any doubt" And in IA Barb.
259, the Court held in speaking of the
judicial power of the Board, "It extends
no further than to take notice of such
facts Of public nOtOriety as that certain
well known abbreviatiOns are generally
used to designates particular names
and the like" Judge Cooley asks,
Gould not the canVassers take notice if
such facts of general public nOtOriety as
everybody else would take no notice Of? :?
Or must they shut their eyes to facts
which all other persons mustp" In the
Eighteenth district Major Wallace and
Major Mckinley were the candidates for
Congress. These facts were notorious,
and yet the Board shut their eyes and
presumed that several Wallaces were
candidates. No set of honest men would
do such thing, but then we could not
expect anything better at the hands Of
Charley FOster.-0hiO Patriot.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Senator PendIetOn Defends His
Bill.

BILL
WASHINGTON, Dec. I3.-The debate in
I%tbS Senate yesterday on the PendletOn
civil service reform bill was the most
interesting of the session so far. Mr..
PendletOn, calling up the bill, made a
strong speech in support Of 1t. Mr.. Pen
dletOn said the question of civil service
had been submitted to the people in the
recent election, and they had spoken in
no low OF uncertain tone. The eXpendi-
lures of the government this fiscal year
were $4O2,OOO,OOO, nearly 80 a head for
every man, woman and child in the Uni
ted States, more money, probably, than
was appropriated during the first forty
years existence of the government. 1t
was tile method of the administration
by the Republicans that made it possible
for the Democrats and other citizens,
who priced their country higher than
their party, to elect the Democratic state
ticket in Ohio and sixteen of the twenty
one members of Congress. He said six
teen, because, although only thirteen of
them had received their certificates, the
other three would certainly be seated by
the next House, If the certificates were
not given them in the meantime. Some
gentlemen are disposed to wait until af-
ter the next Presidential election before
passing the bill to reform civil service,
IA gho hOPO VhO VI
tiOn would give fair share of offices to
the Democrats, but the Democratic party
might not elect the next President. and
he believes it would not unless its rep
resentatiVes in Congress did two things:
First, respond to the demands the peO-
pie make upon the party in its present
condition OF probation; second, disarm
the greaS body of officials who, as a great
disciplined army, go forth to prevent
and control elections. in conclusion,
Mr. PendletOn said he believed the pas
sage Of this measure would hasten the
day of Democratic triumph, but, even If
he thought otherwise he would urge it,;
because, as he loved the Democratic par
ty, he loved his country more.
Mr.. Allison defended the apprOpria-
tiOns made last stEsicG, and said It was
unfair in Mr.. PendletOn to try to make
capital of them.
John Sherman made very silly speech
He was in favor of reform, but only re-
form by the Republican party. He did
not think the people of Ohio cared for
the largeness of the appropriations
made last session, The real cause of
defeat in Ohio was the demand of part
of the people there for free whisky and
no Sunday. As to the pending bill, Mr..
Sherman agreed with his colleague, that
civil service ought to be reformed.
A number OF amendments to the bill
were offered, and the debate will con-
tinue several weeks. 1t is likely the
bill will pass.

Fruit rrss Hhdsr..

CANTON, O., Zee. 14th, 1882.
MR.. EDITOR-ln 20 ! issue of the 18th
inst, noticed an artEl from W. W.
Billmire, warning rmers against
fraudulent fruit tree 0Sms. I'm reply, /
will say that perhaps many who read
the article do not know W. w. Billmire.
Billmire is eanVasser who was former
ly in the employ OF w. w. Snyder, and
being discharged from his employ, he Is
here representing himself as canVassing
for some New York nursery, and had
this article published in view of doing
W. W. Snider an injury. We refer our
customers to N. II. Albaugh president
Of the National Association Of Nursery
men, and proprietor OF Hill House MUIR
series), Ladmor, Montgomery county, o.
and Geo. O.Peters(prOprietOr of Fairmount
Nurseries), Troy. Ohio, both neighbOr-
ing nurserymen, as references, as to w.
W. Snlder'5 responsibility. We refer to
these men as also growing and propa-
eating those varieties Of fruits which
BillmiTe, who knows nothing about the
nursery business, claims are fictitious va
rieties. And Furthermore, IL Is plain to
see that his sneaking way of taking re-
venge will amount to nothing with any
intelligent person. We desire all who
read his article to investigate the true
inwaTdness of Billmire, and 1 assure
them if they knew him as do, It would
be wholly unnecessary for me take any
notice Of his article whatever.
Yours respectfully,
