in downing Arab Pssha may be taken as
representing the attitude Of Germany and

that Russia is about to quit her passive
attitude and favor one directly hostile TO
the British pretensions in Egypt. Accord
ing TO intelligence received from diplomat

The corruption in the administration Of
the navy, and the enormous cost Of main
tanning a useless establishment, have for
years past been creating public sentiment
that will explode some day in form Of
destructive indignation. Performances
like that Of Admiral Nicholson at Alexsn
dria will be apt to hasten this desired con.
summation.
An American officer who volunteers, ~
Admiral Nicholson did, TO commit his
country by overt acts Of armed co.opera-
ton with England, is unworthy to com
mand ships that Ny the stars and stripes.
II this IL the sort Of service upon which
our men.of.war are sent abroad, better
burn the navy, and At least save the glory
OF the past from the rcproach Of the pres
emit New York sun.

me Election Monday.

The republicans under the shrewd
advice and guidance of Mr.. w. ii.
Miller are playing fine game for the
control of this county.
Mr.. Lyle and Mr.. Young are as
yet, the only candidates who admit
the soft impeachment, but democrat:
may rest assured that a full republi-
can ticket will be on the poll-boOks
Monday morning. An industrious
and systematic still.huut is being made
over the entire county, and we are in.
formed that considerable sum OF
money has been procured from the
corruption fund at Washington City
by the kind offices of Billie Bradley,
to be used in the Miller.Lytle inter
est.
1t wont do for democrats to be idle
or luke warm one moment longer. Mr..
Lyle, a very rancorous man, of little
capacity, can of himself, it is true,
only poll the republican vote. The
danger lies in another quarter. II
lies in democratic apathy and in the
detection of w. ii. Miller. 1t is idle
to deride and belittle the influence Of
this latter gentleman. He will carry
with him to the enemy a considerable
procession of sore-heads. He has
thrown into the race all the vim and
energy of which he is capable. He
recognizes it as his race, and is fight
ing for life.
Fellow democrats, not one Of you
can remain at home on Monday with
out danger to your ticket and to
your party. Not one of you can stay
from the polls without having cause
to lament it in sack-cloth and ashes.
Only full and rousing vote can pre-.
vent Mr.. Lyle from being your next
County Judge-not him either. He
would only be what the scientists call
a simuIacrirm, a pastebOard Judge
with candle set behind it. The
real Judge would be the man who is
running him, the man who, if he is
elected, will elect him. This gentle
men, without bond or responsibility,
would, in effect, appoint your admin
istrators, your guardians, your over
seers of roads, make your settlements,
and be your judge. Are you prepar-
ed for this ? Are you willing to sub
NIT to IT'D If not, let the whole
State hear the thunder of your indig-
nation on next Monday.

wanted to see big blaze. The young

The sardine last year, by failing to
make its accustomed appearance of the
coast Of France, caused very serious
loss and hardship to thousands of fish
ermen, and it was feared that it might
never return to its old hunting grounds.
Scientists discussed the matter, and
the suggestion was made, aud received
much support, that the Gulf Stream
had probably changed its course, and
taken the little fish with it, perhaps
permanently. This would have inhict-
ed fatal blow TO large and valua-
BILE industry, and would have caused a
regretable gap in the sardine supply.
The expectation was general that there
would be no appearance of them the
present season, at any event; bat it
turns out that the forebodings we're
unfounded. Large schools of the fish
have suddenly gladened theeyes OF the
anxious French fishermen. The Bay
of Belle Isle is alive with them. And
the cause of their absence last season
remains obscure.

The attention given by Japan to
common school education is not the
least remarkable among the many
wonderful changes introduced by this
progressive country. Ten years ago
about fifty thousand Government
schools were established. Five years
later, in 1877, they contained nearly
sixty thousand teachers and over TWO
million pupils. The annual school ap.
preparation was upward Olive million
dollars, aud this has been largely sup.
plemented by private gifts, which
amounted in five years to over eight
million dollars, besides private land
given for school-houses. Five years
ago about two.fiiths ofall the children
OF the school going age were in these
institutions, and since then the proper.
ton has been increased TO nealy three.
fife hs, as last years pupils numbered
nearly three million. About fourth
of these are girls. This sweeping sys-
TEN of public education cannot fail to
aid Japan in holding the high place
she already has attained among en-
lightened and progressive nations.

According to the latest official report
from the Navy Department there are three
hundred officers Of all grades on the retir-
ed list, whose aggregate pay exceeds seven
hundred thousand dollars per annum.
These bene6oiaries render no service to the
Government, and the only work they do is
TO draw seventy-fye per centum Of full
pay. Many Of them are actually receiv-
ing, after this deduction Of twenty-five per
centum, nearly double the salary they re-
ceiyed when retired.
A system which tolerates barefaoed
abuses, Of which this is a conspicuous ex.
ample, must be radically wrong, and needs
the strong hand Of positive correction
which Congress alone can administer. A
large part Of these officers might be used
in various branches Of the navy, because
they are neither mentally nor physically
disabled for duty.
But as the service Il 1Opheavy, and the
younger aspifants for promotion are in the
majority, their interests can only be served
by retiring seniors compulsorily at the age
of sixty.two, and thus making room for
ambition at the expense Of the Treasury.
Their only object is 10 get up the ladder as
rapidly as possible, without caring who
fools the bill, or how much il costs 10 run
the Administering machine.

Opening 25-pound cans Of giant
powder with cold chisels, making
sparks fly in the process, is privilege
on which quarrymen will probably al.
ways insist; but John Sobel abused
this privilege when he hammered open
his can in front of powder house con-
tanning ton of powder, the door Of
which he carefully left open. The
resulting shock, when the magazine
blew up, was heard all over Chicago,
in whose suburbs il was situated, and
houses unroofed many blocks away.

tastrophe which will open the eyes OF
the public to the careless handling OF
