The War in Egypt.

Englands's war in Egyptis now in full
tide. The primary cause of this war
originates from the extravaganza of the
father of the present Khedive, or Vice
roy who succeeded in saddling the
country with an enormous debt. The
greater portion of the obligations of this
debt, with the ACQUIRING interest attach.
ed, is held by the nobility of England
and France. When the Egyptians tired
of their expensive ruler, they deposed
him and put his son in his place, the
English creditors and their French
allies got possession of the man
agement of the Egyptian finances to
secure the payment of their claims.
Arab Bey, representing the native
political element of the country, rebelled
against this summary disposal of the
resources of the land. England sent a
fleet and bombarded Alexandria for the
purpose of subduing the rebellion and
restoring the power of collecting the
revenue of Egypt to the English and
French officials empowered to receive
it. This is the history of the case, as
we understand it. Alexandria, original,
ly a city founded by Alexander the
Great in 332 B. C. has been given over
to destruction, first by the British gun,
and completed by the fire of the re.
treating rebels, is now in the possession
of England. Arabi Bey and his army
escaped to continue the war elsewhere.

A National improvement.

In the River and Harbor bill one OF
the heaviest appropriations is for be.
gining the work of digging the Henne.
pin Canal, in Illinois. The design of
the canal is to connect the great lakes
with the Mississippi Piver. The canal
will be sixty-five miles long, and wholly
within the territory of Illinois. When
this improvement is made its advocates
boast that ocean.going vessels can be
loaded with freight at Chicago, pass
through the canal, thence down the
Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico,
and thence to Liverpool without break
ing cargo. 1t is this consideration
which has doubtless provoked so much
jealous opposition to the canal from
Representatives in the West who never
before were known to balk at the most
ssteful and useless appropriatio ms for
vers and harbors.
This Hennepin Canal, the appropria.
ton for which met with fierce opposi-
ton in the Senate on Thursday, has at
least disappearance of being work of
national character, differing in this re.
spect from most of the jobs in the River
and Harbor bill. But the demand for
this appropriation serves to mark the
great change which has been wrought
in the policy and character of the Gov.
eFnment within the last fifty years. In
the early history Of public Improvement
the people of Pennsylvania, at their
own expense, constructed works of far
greater national and commercial impor.
tance than the Hennepin Canal. At
vast expenditure, in period of compa.
ratiVe poverty, they opened great line
of transportation from east to west,
lifting section boats over the Allegheny
Mountains by stationary engines and
series of inclined planes and dropping
them into the canal at Johnstown,
whence they were foated to Pittsburg,
enterprise aud engineering skill was
finished, along With;others Of great mag.

The Parentage and Youth of the DEM
Ocratic Candidate-A Friendly View.

The nominee of the Democrats for
Governor of Pennsylvania was, when
last saw him, little boy, aged probably
nine years. His father was poor Meth.
odist preacher, of large handsome
presence, looking something like the
late Chief Justice Chase. His sincerity
and beauty attracted Miss Woodford,
of Somerset county, Maryland, who
members of which sat in the Maryland
Legislature in the time of Charles ii.
Almost the only strangers of address
and experience to travel on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland have been these
itinerant clergymen of Wesley's order,
and they frequently get the pick of the
wives, if not in worldly goods, in virtue
and sense. My parents and the Patti
sons being both from the same region
of Maryland, the mother frequently
brought these children to our mother to
spend part of the day while she visited
or went on journey. She probably
kept but one servant, and had to cut
the cloth of life close to the pattern.
l never thought in those days that in
the leanished.legged, self willed urchin
playing around the floor was Governor
of Pennsylvania. His best endowment
was the unvarying refinement of man.
ner and character his father carried
through life, and the Maryland spirit
his mother possessed. These old Colo.
nial families look to public honors as
better than riches, and would rather be
people of consideration than of vulgar
opulence.

nitude, the debt of the State was up
ward of $40,000,000. New York, at the
same time, constructed mighty works of
internal improvement which were of
far more commercial importance than
four-fifths of the alleged improvements
in this River and Harbor bill. Virginia
and Maryland, too, We'd with their sis
ter States to the North in making simi.
lar improvements for promoting the
internal commerce of the country.
When these States were thus assuming
heavy burdens of debt and taxation,
some of which have not yet been remov-
ed, they did not dream of appealing to
the National Government for assistance.
Had they done so they would have been
referred by the Democratic administra
tors of the Government to the constitu-
tional restrictions and to the poverty of
the National Treasury. But the con.
stitutional limitations have been long
since pettifogged, and surplus of one
hundred and fifty millions in the Trea-
sury, drained from the life-blood of in
dustry, affords a constant temptation to
every species of jobbery that can be de-
vised under pretence of improving the
commerce of the country.
The position of the States and of the
General Government toward each other
has completely changed. Fortunately
the States undertook the works of pub.
! lie improvement, which were designed
in greater or less degree to promote the
commerce of the whole country. The
public works of Pennsylvania, like the
proposed Hennepin Canal, were wholly
within the limits of the State, but the
States on the east and west and north
and south participated more or less in
their commercial advantages. Now the
States come to the National Treasury
with their ladies, Justify begging for
pap. Notwithstanding the boasted
commercial importance of the Henne.
pin Canal, neither public nor private
enterprise in Illinois can be induced to
dig it, though the expense is estimated
at only three or four million dollars. IT

ness in Virginia wish to increase their
facilities of transporting coal in that

WHAT the early Republicans of the
Charles Sumner school used to rave
about as plantation manners" were
outdone in the House of Representa-.
tives last week by the present leader of
the Republicans, Mr.. Robson, if we are
to accept statement by the usually
wellinformed Washington correspond
ent of the Springfield Republican. Com
menting upon Robeson's attack on
Whitthorne this correspondent says:
"Nobody knew at the time how near
we came to having bloodshed on the
floor of the House last week. Robson
now says that he should have shot
Whitthorne had he struck him. Il
should have killed him if he had hit
me- he is reported as saying to Joe
Black burn. Everybody expected to see
Whitthorne strike Robeson, as he strobe
towards him and charged him with
lying Had the space over which he
was obliged to walk to reach Robeson
been shorter, he might not have been
able to control his passion. Robson
was armed. He went to the House pre-.
pared to defend himself. He knew
Whitthorne's passionate nature and he
knew that he should kindle the passion.
What would have happened had Robe.
son shot Whitthorne down there in the
area before the whole House we can
only conjecture, but there would have
been more than one exchange OF shots" "
This statement has been copied into
more than one Republican newspaper
with apparent approval, and no friend
of Robson has yet contradicted the
charge made in it that he went into a
deliberate body intending to provoke
a member of that body to demonstra-
tion which would give him an excuse
for drawing and using deadly weapon
within the area of the House. A mem
ber of Congress who goes into his place
"prepared to defend himself" with a
deadly weapon against the possible or
probable consequences of speech
which he intends to make, commits an
act of treason TO the fundamental prin-
ciples of free government.-Ne0 York
World.
