PIQTING IN EG IIT

The riot in Alexandria was either an adrot
plot or an accidental outbreak tor winch the
leaders of the military party will dlsclalm re-
sponsibity. In either case the allied Powers
are in a worse plight than they were before.
Whether they have exaggerated the good III
tcntionS of the army officers, or moderated the
risks of the European residents, they have
miscalculated the tendencies and chances OF
mob-rule in the East Owing to this lack OF
forecast those residents have been hunted
through the streets by an angry crowd, sixty
seven lives have been sacrificed, several Con-
suls have been attacked, and the MOB has not
been dispersed until it had sacked the shops
and held possession of the European quarter
for five hours These glazing outrages upon
life and property have occurred ID Alexandra,
where foreigners have taken refuge in large
numbers from Cairo during the last month. 1t
was sunnosed that the garrison could be de-
| nended upon TO maintain order under the guns
of the fleet, and that the Ulemas would not
venture to excite the passions of the mob
against the Christians. Yet terrible panic
has been caused even in this place OF refuge for
| the women and children of Europeans. The
| war vessels which remained at their anchOTagcs
conld not afford the residents adequate protec-
| ton As for the military garrison, it seems tc
! have enjoyed the spectacle OF an enraged popu-
lace INDUCING its passion for pillage and out
| rage.
| Whether or not these riots have been secretly
instigatcd by the military party we have no
means of deciding, but it is PLAIN that Arab 5
purposes have been served by the mob. The
Turkish Commissioners, who have been calling
upon him to resign, and the diplomatic agents
of the Western Powers, who have been seeking
TO frighten him with vague menaccS, are now
forced to ask him to restore order III AlcXan-
drla This is a new triumph for this rebel
| soldier and subject. His dismissal has been
! made the ultimatum of England and France
and the special mission OF the Turkish Com
| mission but he is the only ruler in Egypt who
| retains any authority over the troops. His ser
vices are for the moment Indispensable, and
| this fact adds to the humiliation of the Western
Powers. They have been striving to outwit
| and dispace him for the last nine months, and
after series of bold aflronts they are com
pclled to acknowledge his military ascendancy.
| This final discontinue will be cXaspcrating
beyond measure to the Governments which
| have pursued 50 vacllating policy.

The Russian immigrants of Hebraic descent
have undoubtedly had a hard time at home
but the actions of some of them since they
have been in this country have been such rs TO
detract much from the sympathy excited by
their former wretched condition. To put 1t
mildly, they take too much for granted. There
have been numerous complaints about the bad
behavior of some of these newcomers re-
gently; bat yesterday they rather Outdld them
selves. Several men went 10 the Office OF the
Hebrew Emigrant Aid Society and asked for

that they would not work. When the super

How About It.
Isonthern World.l

1t has been generally suppos-
cd that the habitation sof the
North American continent did
not date further back than the
twelfth century, but discoveries
in achRolgy seem to show that
ii il not improbable that a civ
ilization existed on its soil be-
fore the pyramids were built or
the States of Greece were found
ed. ]
America is generally called
the New World in lis relation to
Europe ; but the facts are that
both geologically and with ref
erence to it's occupancy by man,
it is the older of the two CONT
nents. It's vast chains ofmoun-
tains were worn and furrowed
with age before the Alps and
Apennines had emerged from
the primeyal ocean. It's ruins
tell of a civilization that yields
the palm of antiquity only to
that of Egypt and Asia. 1t is
now a well-established fact that
there was, in remote ages, on
this continent a race of men
who had attained a civilization
immensely superior to anything
found among those Indians who
occupied North America at the
time of it's discovery. The inn
posing memorials of their pres.
ence and power are to be seen
i'll huge mounds, embankments,
Notifications, and canals scat
tered in vast numbers all over
the land from the Rocky Noun
tains to the Alleghanies, and
from the Great Lakes to the
Gulf of Mexico.
