Judge Batcheller, one of the judges
of the International Tribunal in Egypt,
now in New York, contends that, as a
matter of fairness, Europe should come
to terms with Arab Bey. In present
ing what he calls the Egyptian side OF
the case, he says:
Should the powers make terms with
Arab he would probably not object TO
the maintenance of supervisory in
spection of their financial administra-
ton by England and France, but he
would not restore them TO power. What
his dreams may be as to the future do
not know. 1t is probable that he has
aspirations for an Arabic nation with a
calf as president at its head. He has
caused to be printed in Arabic and cir
culated the constitution of the United
States, and has inquired earnestly as to
the details of our government and its
institutions, and he has repeatedly de-
clared that his people were not pre-
pared for self-government to the extent
of republic. He modelled his govern
ment of last September substantially on
the English plaza parliament and a
responsible ministry. AT no time has
he shown a disposition to throw off the
suzerainty of the sultan or repudiate
the tribute payable to him. Doubtless
the sultan has encouraged him in his
revolution, but only to haye an excuse
to intervene for the establishment OF
peace with single eye upon the flesh.

A disposition is shown throughout
the country TO criticise the practice of
college faculties in comforting honorary
titles upon persons who do not deserve
them. Formerly these titles meant
something, but so recklessly have they
been bestowed in late years, that their
value has been cheapened if not de.
stroyed. Too often they are meaning
less compliments rather than indications
of the attainment of learning in the
languages, laws, or natural and polite
sciences. or course many persons bear
these titles who have honestly earned
them, but many parade them who have
not. Ifit is worth while for so-called
institutions of learning toretain popular
respect, this foolish and injurious prac-
tice should be checked.

The present congress leads all its pre-
decessoss in the number of bills and res.
olutions introduced and considered. Up
to the first of the present month, there
had been introduced alone, not less than
G,929 bills and joint resolutions. OF
these the committees had reported back
l,4li, s0S of which had up to the first be-
come laws, 261 have passed the house
and await action in the senate and the
remaining 942 are on the calander for
consideration. An exchange pertinently
remarks:
1t is we'll known that nothing is more
common than for members to vote for
bills of which they are totally ignorant
simply to oblige some other member
who has an ax 10 grind, and he who in
turn will cancel the obligation as oppor-
tunity may offer by log rolling through
what ever job the former may have an
interest In. When legislation comes to
this, il is obviously either farce OF q
a fraud, or rather a commixture Of both.
