WORE BRUTALITY.

The accounts from Russia indicate that
the persecution of the Jews has by no
means ceased in that country. Indeed it
would appear to have taken fresh start
Of late, and the responsibility of the Gov
eminent is shown by the fact that the
commanders of troops, when applied to for
help, have refused to move their men for
the protection of the victims. The stories
which are now coming are horrible. They
show that the Russian masses are mere
savages, and beastly savages at that
They show also that the Cars Government
is hollow fraud, aud that the pretenses
Of humanity which were employed to cover
the attack upon Turkey in the last war
were wholly false. And it is justifable to
conclude that these latest outrages upon
the Jews have been actually melted by the
Government, for the express purpose of
showing all the world the contempt it
entertains for the remonstrances and appeals
addressed to it. Russian civilization has
always been sham. and it is well that the
truth about it should be known. OF all
the grotesque anomalies in history nothing
was ever so absurd as the attempt to estab-
Ish intimate relations between such
power and the United States. It is time
that nonsense was put away, and this
exposure of the barbarism of the Muscovite
empire viii efectually dissipate it. The
persecution of the Jews also viii be
avenged in due time, and the Gar will
learn that he has not secured his own
safety by making scapegoats of these unfor-
tunate peop;e.

excusing the murder of Hypatia on the
ground that she was hereto, and then
oanonizing her because of her conspicuous
virtues, under fictitious name. No doubt
it is not quite agreeable to the simple wor-
shipper who mas been accustomed to regard
st. Catherine as . genuine person, to dis
cover that there never was such martyr,
and that all of her history which is real
belongs to pagan philosopher who was
foully murdered by Christians. This,
however, is the actual state Of the case,
and in the interest of truth we are bound
to set it plainly forth.
The Monitor complains that thousands
"of beautiful virgins have been sacrificed
ssfor the Faith in like manner ito st.
Catherine), yet no sorrowful sympathy
sis expressed for them. One reason of
this is that the Catholic Church has manu-
featured such crowd of spurious saints
and martyrs, as instance the legend OF the
Eleven Thousand Virgins of Cologne, and
other equally absurd inventions. Another
reason is that the Catholic Church has
been a ferocious prosecutor, and that ii has
not only cruelty sacrificed thousands of
innocent women and men under the pre-
tense of heresy, but that its discerdant
and clashing sects have repeatedly fallen
upon and slaughtered each other. Even
in the times when it had but just recov-
cred from persecution itself, while the
blood of its martyrs still colored the sand
of the amphitheaters, it began to persecute
in its turn, and Psganism never displayed
more cruelty than the Jealous propagandists
of the religion of Jesus Christ exhibited
the moment they obtained the upper
hand. A remembrance of these facts is
apt 70 diminish the sympathy of the world
for Catholic saints and martyrs, and it may
be added that the Romish habit OF con-
verting pagan deities and rites and doc
trines to the use of the Church (which
habit is accountable for much of the pres
ent dogma and ritual), has tendency to
make people cautious as to how they allow
their feelings to overcome them when they
are dealing with matters of this kind. 1t
is unfortunate for the Church that so
many of it's traditions are false, but this is
the penalty of that policy of encourage
ment to imaginative religious literature
which filled the middle ages with so splen-
did procession of ecclesiastical notabili-
ties who never really had "a local habita-
ton or name"

TIE EGYPTIAN sIruArIon.


The Egyptian situation appears to be
growing more difficult instead OF less So
The demand for the Chamber of Notables,

that country, is now believed to cover

tenance of order. But this joint agree
ment is really very embarrassing to both
the powers, for neither can trust the other,
and neither Government feels at all certain
that it would be permitted to carry out
whatever programme it might adopt. This
is one of the difficulties attendant upon
popular government. France and England
are actually almost prevented from adopt
ing vigorous Egyptian policy because the
Ministry in both countries feels uncer-
tain of being supported by the people.
Gladstone would perhaps be willing in
these circumstances even to delegate his
powers to the Porte, if he could by
any possibility retreat from the atti-
tude of incorporating hostility to
Turkey which he took up several years
ago. But though he has stultifed himself
SO fagrantly in the matter of the Russian
Jews, it is not probable that he would
doubly stultify himself by calling in Turk
ish troops to support the Khedive. He
must therefore depend upon circumstances
to carry him through safely in the event of
an Egyptian crisis. 1t seems possible that
the outcome of joint occupation and
action would be the withdrawal of France,
and the assumption by England of the
whole Egyptian question. There has been
some talk of German and Austrian inter.
vention in the matter, but it is evident that
neither of them have any interests at stake
in Egypt, and that their interference in the
matter would therefore be little less than
impairment. And both of them have
plenty to attend to at home at present.

APPORTIoNMEET

The indications now are that the House
will fix the number of its members under
the new apportionment at 325, and that
California will have six members.
Whether this gain in numbers will be a
gain In fact, however, remains to be seen.
There have been periods when this State
has had four members of Congress, and
might as well not have been represented
at all, for all the good they did at Wash
ington. No doubt gain of two members
will give US so much additional influence
when new postoffices are wanted, or when
sone town desires an appropriation. But
it is well to remember that quantity is one
thing, and quality quite another; and that
the new apportionment bill does not con-
tain any improvements in the methods by
which Congressman are chosen. II Civil
Service reform was reality, instead OF
being an apparently unattainable vision,
we might really increase the efficiency of
our representation, together with the in.
crease In numbers. But SO long as Con
gressmen are chosen in reference mainly
to their views on the spoils question, and
as rule without the least regard to their
fitness for the work they are to do. it
must remain problematical whether six
members will be better for us than four.

USELESS AGITATION.

The Pope is said to have written to the
italian Bishops, urging them to increase
their activity, to develop Catholic societies
among the lalty, and to advocate boldly
the temporal independence of the Pope
through the Catholic press. All this will
be quite useless, whatever the medieval
advisers of the Pope may think. Temporal
independence, meaning the restoration OF
the temporal power of the Pope, is gone
forever Henceforth he must be content
to be spiritual ruler, or to be nothing.
No nation outside of Italy will respond to
his appeals, and Italy detests the memory
of the temporal power and all that went
with it, too heartily TO be moved hairs
breadth by all the Catholic press can say
on the subject If the Pope was better ad.
vised he would abandon this shadow for
the substance of spiritual sovereignty
which remains to him.

NAVAL SCHEMES.

The Secretary Of the Navy has taken
what looks like the first practical step
towards the organization of new navy.
in assembling number of veteran naval
officers, together with the members of the
House Navy Committee, and bringing out
the facts about what is being done. Mr..
Harris, Chairman of the House Committee
on Naval Affairs, stated at this meeting,
in answer to questions, that the Committee
was prepared to urge the expenditure of
SIC, 1000, 600 at once in the construction OF
two of the largest and fastest class of war
vessels recommended by the Advisory
Board, two Of the second class, one of
Admiral Ammen's rams, and one each of
three kinds of torpedo boats. What the
principal vessels referred to are to be like.
does not appear, but the presumption is
that the recommendation has been for
swift unarmored, or light armored, cruisers,
to carry few guns of the heaviest caIiber.
This is just now the favorite war vessel,
though the changes In naval armament
have been SO many and various of late
years that it is impossible to say how long
this pattern will hold its own. At present
armor- plating appears to have reached its
utmost limit for ocean-going vessels, and
still guns are made capable of piercing the
very heaviest armor. 1t is therefore argued
that great steam power and heavy caliber
of guns are the desiderata for the future
war-ship, and several powers are building
vessels on this plan. It may prove that
we have saved money in the long run by
our negligence in regard to our navy ever
since the close of the rebellion, but it is
altogether too soon for us to Drag, and it
cannot be forgotten that even though the
issue of Congressional parsimony in this
respect should after all not be disastrous.
the fact remains that it was far more likely
to be that than anything else, and that it
was throughout most unjustiiable policy.
And though we may now begin to con-
struct navy, it is evident that it must be
at least five years before we can have sny.

ing the constructive period We shall be

TIE CASE OF BRADLAUaB.

The case of Bradlaugh is rapidly drifting
into condition of hopeless muddle, but
in his expulsion at the beginning of the
present session tie House of Commons has
taken position which it will certainly
have to abandon, since it involves the
| assumption of a power over representatives
utterly intolerable by free people. On
this occasion Bradaugh offered to take the
oath, which be declared would be binding
upon his conscience, yet the majority
refused to allow him to do it. Now it is
evident that at this point the House,
whether Willingly or unwittingly, assumed
the right, not merely to exclude members,
but to determine whether or not an
oath would be binding upon particular
mans conscience. This is a stretch of
authority altogether unheard of and
monstrous L. is tyranny than which
nothing more despotic has ever been I'M
dertaken by an Asiatic ruler. The House
of Commons in fact has rejected MIR.
Bradlaugh specifically on the ground that
it does not think he will keep his word.
That is to say it has disiranchised his con-
stituents on the preposterons and almost
incredible ground that their representa-.
tive may perhaps not mean what he says.
1t is plain that if the House has the
power to do this it has the power to turn
out any member, or any number of men,
bers, On bare suspicion or naked accusa-
ton, and that no defense whatever can
possibly be set up against such unex-
ampled tyranny. But it is quite certain
that the House possesses no such power,
and that therefore when it refused to let
Bradlaugh take the oath after he had said
it would be binding upon him. it over
stepped its jurisdiction completely. 1t is
indeed not a little surprising that Gladstone
should have permitted this fragrant abuse
Of Parliamentary power to be committed,
and it was much more than sin of negli.
gence ; it was serious political mistake.
For Bradlaugh will now compel the sym.
pathy of the great body of Englishmen
who are certain to resent the overbearinc
despotism Of the House, and the insult
offered to the constituents of the expelled
member, aud even those who dislike his
religious Tor irreligious) doctrines will see
that it will not do to pass over SO gross
breach of the rights of representatives in
order to crafty prejudice of that kind
In short he will return to the attack
stronger than ever, and the House of Com.
mons will be compelled sooner or later
to retreat from It's present untenable posi-.
ton, and to probably abolish the oath
altogether, as a concession to popular
feeling at the manner in which it has been |
abused. The Government ought to have |
backed Bradlaugh when he agreed to take
the oath. AS it is, he will be thorn in
their side precisely when they have most
need for tranquility.

TEE ANTT-pn1vcAMY BILL

This measure, the text Of which we
published yesterday, has passed the Sen.
ate. 1t is undoubtedly very strong bill,
and it viii compel the Mormon polyga-
mists to make up their minds as TO whether
they will fight or back down. BY prompt
submission to the law they can escape pun
ishment and the loss Of political rights !;
but if they think that they are stronger
than the United States Government there
will be trouble for them in the near future
Under the new bill it will be impossible for
them to use the Territory of Utah as a
close corporation any longer, and the
Church will be forced to own itself beaten,
or to have recourse to open rebellion. It
is not probable that the last named course
will be taken, though the Mormons have
always entertained exaggerated notions of
their own prowess; but che thing is GER
.ain, namely, that the new law makes it
possible to put down polygamy. if the
necessary determination is not wanting in
the officials charged with its execution.
