WHY ARABI Is A REBEL

Our evening contemporary asks why we
have called Arab Pssha rebel. We have
done so for the simple but sufficient reason
that he is rebel. He is an officer in the
employ OF the Khedive of Egypt. He
holds his commission from the Khedive.
He has been removed by the Khedive.
And he has refused to obey the orders of his
sovereign, and has usuEped control of the
khedive's army, and inaugurated armed
rebellion against the Khediye's authority.
lie is as much a rebel as an American mill
tia Colonel would be who should take up
arms against the government of his State.
The Porte, however, has not anything like
the authority over Egypt that the Federal
Government has over the State. Egvpt
in fact is nearly Independent. The Khe.
dive is its King. He has the rights of
raising armies and navies, and of making
independent treaties with foreign Govern.
ments. Arab Pssha is the servant of the
khedive, not of the Porte. He owes allie
glance to the ruler of Egypt, and he has
renounced that allegiance. He is in fact
rebel At ever there was one, and that is why
We have 80 spoken of him.

A MINIATURE BULL RUN

The Egyptians appear to have succeeded
in causing a miniature Bull Run near
Alexandria. A company of rifles which
had been stationed on outpost duty suf.
fered the Egyptian troops to approach
their position in force under cover of
darkness, and when the rifles discovered
the nearness of the enemy panic seized
them, and throwing away their weapons
after firing one wild volley, they fairly
ran away. No doubt this episode will en-.
courage the Egyptians, and will be greatly
magniied by Arab. who has Napoleonie
knack of fabricating dispatches. Such
pauics have occurred several times. On
one occasion one of Napoleon's veteran
regiments was so overcome by sudden fear
that it ran before handful of armed peas
ants. During the Peninsular war a de-
taehment of the Light Dragons on outpost
duty were suddenly stampeded, though in
that case there was really no enemy pres
ent. The night was very dark, and in the
middle of it sudden nameless horror
seized the whole party. and catching their
horses they dashed of, officers and all,
and rode for miles before they drew rein.
Al our own Bull Run it was really only a
question of who should run first, and if the
Northern levies had held together few
minutes longer, the Confederates would
almost certainly have been the victims of
the panic.

TKE RUSSIAN POSITION.

Russia is evidently alarmed at the
Egyptian situation. She perceives that if
England is permitted to 60 ON single.
handed she will end by establishing a
British Protectorate in the Delta. and will
thereby secure her route to India for all
time, and at the same time forestall and
checkmate the whole Muscovite scheme
for obtaining possession of the Bosporus
The truth is that Egypt is more necessary
to England than Constantinople, and that
If she once gets possession OF the Delta
she will be compelled to hold it, and what
is more, will be able to hold it, against all
corners. If Mr.. Gladstone were not at the
head of the Government now the designs
OF Russia would probably be seen
through and frustrated. But that
statesman has special faculty for throw
ing away the interests of his own country
and helping her enemies, and therefore it
is quite likely that he will do whatever the
Car requests.

Eor PRIVATE PROPERTY.


The Examiner says that "the Central
." facific Railroad is not, in the true sense
" OF the word, private property" 1t would
seem so from the course of our by no
means estimable contemporary. In fact, it
would seem that it was so far from being
private property that every demaqogue and
political loafer, every hypocrite and Office
seeker, every canting rogue who pretends
public spirit as disguise for larcenous de-
signs upon the public treasury, had bet.
ter right to dictate its management, and the
amountand disposal of its earnings, than the
nominal directors and stockholders. 1t
must be, therefore. that the Eran,iaer is
right, and that the railroad is not "in the
90 true sense private property.

TaE CHIEF OBSTACLES IN EGYPT


The English army which is about to
enter upon campaign in Egypt may not
have much to fear from the military PROV.
ess of the Egyptian troops, though in these
days of improved weapons it is not always
safe to trust too much to the supposed fee.
bleness of even savage forces, as England
learned at Isandula and elsewhere. But
its commanders and the Government must
count upon very formidable opposition from
powers against which neither arms of pre-.
cision nor bravery can prevail. The month
of August in Egypt is deadly to Euro.
peans. A dreadful wind called the
Khamsin blows from the desert and it
blows away mems vitality. No military
expedition has ever landed in Egypt with.
out experiencing the baneful effects of the
climate. Napoleon's army suffered fright
fully from sickness caused by the heat, and
also from that peculiarly Egyptian disease,
ophthalmia. This affection of the ewes is
chronic among the Arabs and Egyptians
themselves, and it is capable of communi-
cation by contact and in other ways. The
French soldiers at the beginning of the
century were greatly weakened by it,
and the English cannot hope to escape the
evil. At the same time it must be remem.
bered that the period of highest water in
the Nile is approaching, and that then it
will be impossible to march bodies of
troops over the face of the country at all.
And the English army is one which
can stand less depletion from disease
than almost any other. For it
is small at the outset, and all
the flower of its soldiers are in the expedi.
tion now on the way to Alexandria. Should
disease make large gaps in the ranks of
these regiments, as is but too probable,
they will have to be filled up from the
depot battalions, which consist for the most
part of uniformed recruits, who would
necessarily, because of their lack of ply
steal training, be still more liable to dis
ease than their predecessors. And here
may be seen the sinister consequences OF
vacillation in the head of the Government.
Had Gladstone not been so infrm of pur.
pose he would have provided corps
darnaee to accompany the fleet, and to be
landed in the event of bombardment.
Such a provision would have made it i'm
possible for Arab to have retreated from
Alexandria. He would have been com.
PEELED to surrender. Alexandria would
have been saved from fire and sack. Hun.
dreds of Christians would have been
preserved from massacre And the Egypt.
ian question would have been settled be.
fore the sickly season began. But because
MIR. Gladstone was SO regardless of his own
pet principles as to repose faith in the
"unspeakbable Turk, and because he would
wait for European consent to course
which be knew England mus. take in any
event, MS expedition will be SO unfortr-
nately timed as to reach Egypt at the very
worst season of the whole year, and it may
be kept in state of inaction for weeks or
months, waiting for the Nile to 90 down,
and meantime melting away under the
deadly climate as former English expedi
