Egypt, but all such pretensiOns could be easily
met at Constantinople. The Government OF
the Porte has at least the sense to understand its
own weakness, and it realizes that England is
at present master in Egypt.
1t does not seem probable that the False
Prophot even if he has been as successful as
reported, will attempt to descend into Egypt
proper, and if he did the act would be suicidal.
But England may be forced by the pressure of
public opinion to adopt some decisive policy,
and if Mr.. Gladstone could arrange with the
Sultan for the latter to attack FL Mahdi, while
Egypt is garrisoned by the English troops, the
smoothest way out of the difficulty would be
found. and the repression of the fanatical
leader would be assured

TIE SULTAN AND THE FALSE PROPHET
Turkish Government has offered to send troops
to the SOudan, for the suppression Of the False
Prophet, there are some cOgcnt reasons why Mr.
Gladstone might regard such an offer with ap-
prevail. Sin Samuel Baker says that it will not
do TO send white troops into the SOudan, and he
knows what he is talking about. But the OBJ
lection of climate is not the only one against an
expedition of English troops. England is a Ma
hometan power, as well as a Christian one,
and should she become cntangled in a war
against even II Mahonetan prctcDdcr. the
effect upon her Indian subjects might be dan
gerous. This was one reason why she did not
side with Russia against Turkey during the
last Russo Turkish war. But the Porte can do
AZ much fighting in the SOudan as it pcases, and
without embarrassing itself in any way.
The Sultan, in btct, is bound to denounce and
resist the pretensions of FL Mahdi, who sets
himself up for the genuine successor of Ma
hoinct. and thereby denies the Sutan's au-
thority as head of Islam. The Turkish soldiers
moreover are able 10 stand the climate Of the
Soudinl. They are hardy, enduring, and well
able to cope with the wild tribes of Africa
They might BIO. expected to give good ac-
count of the False Prophet if they were well
led, and there Is no danger that their success
would put the Porte in a position to make en-
demands Of course it might seek to
revive the question OF its suzerainty over

IHE LNCREASE OF LYNCH L4K

1t is to be feared that the popular tendency to
anticipate the vcrdicts Of jlIics and the SEN
fences of courts III murder cases Is growing
stronger. Certainly a disposition to apply
"lynch law" is bring manifested in parts Of
the country which were formerly strangers to
such disOrdcrly and illcgitimatc methods. II
has become quite common now TO find the ac-
count of such crimes concluded with the ex e.
preston of a fear that the people of the neigh
bOrhOOd will stake the law into their own
hands, Formerly lynch law was almost con-
fined to the frontiers. In the older settlements
it was the custom to abide by the law. But
lattcry tendency TO adopt frontier habits has
cropped out in what used to be staid and CON
sentative communities.
The cause of this change ought to be carefully
sought out, for it is Il change which indicates
the existence Of serious deterioration either in
the administration of the law or i'm the tone of
public sentiment. The impotence of legal
methods which is shown in the resort 10 lynch
law had its origin in well -groundcd dstrust of
the administration Of the law. II was primarily
a protest against corruption in Office an ex-
hibtlOn on the part of the people of a resolve
to take back the powers they had delegated, and
exercise them themselves In the crude society
of the frontiers and the Far West it often hap
pcned that local government fell under the
control of the lawlcss element. Thus Justice
was withheld or sold, and outrage became
rampant, until the patience of the aw-respect-
ing element was exhausted. Then they organ
lied, and lynch law restored order and purified
the moral atmosphere. But 40 such conditions
exist to-day in the communities which show Il
disposition to adopt this irregular method. We
find mobs organized to hang accused persons
when there seems no reason to doubt that they
would have been tried fairly. And it is to be
observed that there is a great difference be-
tween lynch law ms applied by Western vigil
ance committee and as applied by an Eastern
mob. In the former case care is always taken
to procure evidence of the guilt of the accused,
and SO scrupulOusly has this rule been observed

Az ALMONER or CITY CHARI1Y.

The Children's Aid Society is charity which THE
TKiBU NJ always takes pleasure in commencing to
the generous impulses of NEWCOMERS. Instinct
with the spirit of Christianity, it is grounded upon
common-scnse principles. 1t is thoroughly organ
lied and wisely directed, and is at once progressive
in its tendencies and unccasing in its activities.
Founded thirty-One years ago, it has steadily en-
larged its field of operations, varying its methods
and multiplying its agencies the population of
the metropolis has increased and the necessity for
les5ening the wretChodness and cOunteraoting the
temptations to crime among the children of the poor
has become more urgent. The magnitude of its
work has been commensurate with the growth of
the city. From the abstract of the annual report Of
the society printed in yesterdays issue, it appears
that since 1852 it has provided over 5000 chill
dren with good homes and remunerativo occupation
in the country it has sheltered fed and instructed
800 900 boys and girls in its lodging houses it has
cared for and trained hundreds of thousands in its
industrial and night schools and has restored to
health thousands of sick children in summer home
and mission. Such an exhibit as this has an elo-
Quence of its own which we have no need to empha-
size by any cOmmendatory phrases. The facts speak
for themselves, and point their own moral for the
benefit of an Open-handed and generous minded
community. II any New Yorker be anxious to con-
tribute ten, hundred or thousand dollars in be-
half Of the children Of the poor here is wise sys

There is a good deal of talk in Brooklyn
about rapid transit, but the matter never seems
to get beyond that unsatisfactory stage. The
cOrpOratOrs of the various companies are APP
parently afraid of the damages which property
owners will demand, while the city authorities
will not give their consent to any steps toward
building road unless they can be assured that
the real estate owners Oh the proposed route
have actually given their assent to the scheme.
The companies do seem to have cause for
complaint in the matter of damages. Some of
the property owners want compensation at the
rate of million a mile. This is hardly the
"sweet reasOnabicness that will hasten rapid
transit in Brooklyn.

Then they would sometimes revoke his license

M'GINNIS MAD.
He Says That His Wife Has Been
systematically Robbing Him
For Some Time.

Mr.. John McGinnis, who resides a,
Brownsville, was in the city yesterday, fol
the purpose of securing some properly
which he alleges WAS stolen from him by
the sister of his wife, Mrs. Annie White,
wife of Nicholas White. He obtained a
search warrant for the alleged stolen prop
eriy, which was placed in the hands of Con-
stable Carnes for service In company with
Mr.. McGinnis, the constable visited the
White residence, where he found two feather
beds, four comforts, pants pattern. and a
roll of new carpet, which he took possession
of. Mrs. White vigorously resisted
the seizure of the property,
and threatened to put head on Mr.. Nc
Ginnis, but the latter having the Law at his
back in the shape of the strong arm of the
constable, de6ed the obstreprrous female,
and carried off his property in triumph.
In conversation wAh a BAzOo reporter
Mr.. Mc(iinnis stated that his wife did very
we'll as long rs he was poor man, but as
soon as he began to prosper in the restau-
rant and bakery business his wife began to
help herself from the till, and had been
robbing him for months. He says that he
had all. of the work to do, even to the
washing of the dishes. Becoming tired OF
this arrangement he went to Ohio, deter
mined 10 bring one OF his sisters home 10
assist him in his duties.
He was absent about ten days, at which
time he returned with his sister. In the
meantime Mrs. White, the sister of Mrs.
McGinnis, had arrived, and when all of the
parties came together, there WAS a first
class family row.
Mc(Iippis saws that before leaving home
he had detected his wife in the act of Sc
creting some silver forks and spoons. The
irate husband saws that he does not desire
to prosecute his wife's sister, as he has sue
ceeded 10 obtaining his property. He af-
firms his intention OF never living with his
wife again, asserting that she has feeced
him long enough.
There may be another side to this story,
as there are to most, but at present il can
not be obtained.
