Deligerent operations Wouiu DO oAoi""o" "
international guarantees in the channel ltseir
and within specified distance OF either mouth
In word, Lord Granville would apply to the
Suez Canal one of tho two fundamental prin-
ciples of the Clayton Bulwer treaty. by the
terms of that convention, il there should be
war between Great Britain and the United
States the feet of either belligerent would he
at liberty to pass through any interoceamc
canal in the isthmus, but active naval opera
tions could not be carried on in the channel
itself or within distance of three miles from
either mouth The canal would be neutrallzed
in the sense that within Its limits the vessels
of either belligerent would be exempt from
attack and capture. This is the principle
which Lord Granville now advocates In re-
lation to the Suez Canal.
But unless we are misled by the ABSTRACT OF
the circular given in the cable dispatches,
another fundamental principle OF the Clayton
Bulwer treat, is not applied to the Suez Canal.
By that convention acts OF belligerency were
forbidden within the country traversed by the
canal as we'll as within the channel itself. MI.
Blaine. viewing with alarm the facility with
which the British fleet could make the canal
base of naval operations and obtain access 10
our western coast, contended that our Uo'-
ernmeut should have the privilege OF sendlng
troops into the adjacent territory and OF Keep
ing garrisons at the terminal points. Lord
Granville, in response, maintained that the con-
yention embodied the true principles OF inter-
national law in relation to interOceanic Canals,
and suggested that the United States should
make these principles binding upon all nations
that
he has an opportunity for acting upon the
benevolent advice which he gave to Mr.. Blame
he only COOS half way. He opens the ouez
Canal to war-ships as well as shipping unuer
all circumstances, and prohibits acts OF being
erency within the channel, but he does not neu-
tralizo the adjacent territory.
The Importance of this distinction Will DO
readily appreciated, if the proposed regulations
he applied to the recent military operations
Under that basis of international action,
England would not have been debarred from
landing troops on the banks OF the canal and
waging war in Egypt. Her admirals would not
have been at liberty to close the canal even for
twenty -four hours but in every other respect
the campaign could have been conducted
precisely as it was. What was done then can
be done again, if the proposed regulations are
sanctioned by Europe, for the isthmus Will not
be neutralized and consequently military oper-
ations will not be prohibited. In effect Lord
Granville reserves for England the very priv
iege which MIR. Blame demanded in the nego-
tiatiors relating to the Panama Canal; for he
leaves the way open for the occupation OF the
territory in an emergency and for the per-
manent garrisoning OF the terminal points.
The canal will be treated virtually as an arm
of the sea" but as there is British garrison at
Gibraltar, there will probably he another at
Port Said and still another at Suez.

NEW YORK DAILY TRIBUNE SUNDAY PAGES

This decade has seen all .Protestants uniting
In Bible revision. The "one book" of Prot
estantism has been saved to it by the Evangel-
ical Alliance the Week of Prayer and the Inter-
national Bible Lessons. Disrupting sectarian-
ism has given place to denomnatlonal self
respect and mutual regard for the reputation
of each other.
The old religious festivals have become holt
days. hard working world has seized upon
them for play-days. A faint odOr Of religion
hangs around them still, but neither Thanks
giving Day nor Christmas Is now much en-
ployed for pious uses. The new feast of Prot
estantism is not and never can be holiday.
1t is sacred to devotion. 1t is happy achieve
ment to obtain in good time an evangelical fes-
tival which covers the needs OF the religious LIE
and permits us to witness the secularization OF
the old festivals without regret and without
religious loss. The only point OF possible fall-
IRE in the Week of Prayer as a custom Is that OF
its time. AS now established it iDaugurates the
calendar year with religious observances. The
9revivalist" churches, conspicuously the
Methodists and Baptists, have heartily &C
cepted the new custom but there is some COM
plant among them that January is too near
spring for their best use of the Prayer Week.
Their special "revival" meetings commonly
begin, in this region. in the early days of De-
cember, often late in November. They cannot
wait for the Prayer Week, though they would
like to use that week as preparation for the
revival meetings. But since no change is pos
sible-objections lying against any date-it may
be expected that this preference OF tho "revi-
valistn churches for an earlier date will he
waived These largo sections Of American
Christianity have from the first celebrated this
universal feast of prayer as being in itself
revival of the whole Christian world. Hitherto
they have generally waited until the Prayer
Week to begin their special nightly meetings;
but they are gradually going back to the old
"protracted meeting" calendar. This simply
leaves the Week of Prayer to fall into the mid
die of their religious season, where, however, it
will be freely observed.

Only a public investigation VIII show 10
all, including these officials, the full extent 70
which this branch of the Judiciary system has
been perverted. The system as it now exists,
precisely as it was established by the King
years ago, encourages corruption. The power
of appointment Of Commissioner OF Jurors Is,
to illustrate, vested in the Mayor, the executive
instead of in the judges. Three Commissioners
have been appointed since the law was enforced,
and all of them have been appointed solely Oh
the ground that they were active ana lnnueh-
tial politicians. The Commissioner is en-
powered to examine and to excuse persons
drawn from servings question solely Tor the
consideration of the Judges in whose courts
they are called to serve. The Sheriifs once Is
by law authorized to serve notices on persons
drawn as jurors. The process-server gets 10
cents for such service from the State, but much
oftener he pockets $15 from the man SO served
10 return him as "nOt found" Not long ago
five faithless deputies who were detected in do
ing this were dismissed. The offices OF the
Commissioner aud of the District-Attorney
have been infested and still are freQuented oy
men whom they have heard denounced as
q iurv-ixers.n In the court-rooms deputy
clerks are intrusted with what IS practicaiiy
secret drawing of the petit jurors IN cases IN
yolving thousands of dollars, frequently human
liberty, and sometimes human life.
The proposed investigation ought to be
begun and finished before the cloOe OF the ses-
sion. go that those who start 1t should be re-
sponsible for providing remedy. A careful
inquiry is necessary in order that an intelligent
law should be framed. The Committee should
be one of the highest character and should do
its work thoroughly.

THE INTEROCEANIC CANALS.

Lord GlanVille's circular in regard to British
policy in Egypt contains only one definite pro-
nosal. He suggests that the Suez Canal shall
be treated virtually rs an arm OF the sea,
freely open 10 navigation, but subject to rule
forbddIng bellgerent operations both within
it's channel and within a certain distance Of its
Gextremltes." Under the existing arrangements
the canal Is not subject TO any international
guarantees. A French commercial company
unclaimed it to be free and neutral, but the
DEGREES of the Sultan and the Khedive on which
tbe action was based had no binding force
upon the European Powers. Indeed, neutral :
is n vague diplomatic expression, which can
have no significance in international law unless
il is explcitly and authOritatively defined. For
example. the Suez Canal has never been con-
sidered by NJ. de Lesseps as neutral in the
sense in which Belgium is neutral territory for
It has never been closed against ships Of war,
whereas the kingdom cannot under any circum
stances he tl;tvcIsed by n foreign army, and if
troops take refuge there, as WAS the case dur
ing the Franco-G German War, they are required
TO ground arms and disband. NJ, dc Lesseps
suggested during the RussO-TurSish War that
the canal should be neutralized in that strict
sense by International agreement but Lord
Derby had no desire TO shut out British iron
clads and transports from the highway to India.
Lord Granville now proposes n definite and
authoritative basis OF action on the part of tho
European Powers.
The Suez Canal under rigid construction of
international law must be regarded at present
as Egyptian territory over which the Sultan
has suzeran rights. Lord Gran sille would
convert it by international agreement into an
arm of the sea like tho Straits of Gibraltar.
Ho would open it to the shipping and navies OF
the world at all times, in peace or in war. lie
would make the canal absolutely free and at
the same time absolutely safe. While war
ships would he permitted to pass i'll and out.

The union of the two great Republican papers of
the Ohio Valley seems simple and natural thing,
now 1t is done, that the wonder is it was not done
long ago. The Commercial Gazette. which takes the
place of The Cincinnati Commercial and The Cincinnati
Gazette, and enjoys the services of both Murat Hal
stead aud Richard Smith, promises to be better
paper than either of its predecessors Its resources
are in every way greater, and Its political power
will grow with It's greater opportunities. We look
for Republican gains in Ohio. Indiana and Ken

newspaper forces.

wren NEEDED REFORM PROMISEI

4 MUCH NEEDED REFORM PhOMIcED
THE TRIBUNE, in a series of articles, lately
called attention to the gross abuses existing Ill
the appointment of the Commissioner OF Jurors,
the selection and summoDlDg OF the panels of
Jurors and in the drawing Of petit Jurors from
the panels thus selected. These articles attract
ed the attention of the legal profession gener-
ally, It's now understood that movement VIII
be made early in the present session OF tie Legs
lature to change the system III use by the pass
age of q new jury law for New York and Kings
counties. ItlsIep0rted that Tammauy member
will propose the preliminary legislative lnves-
tiyation. and, of course the motive IS said to be
To dispIace the present incumbent, who is
Comfy Democratic politician to make way for
Tammany man.
1t is Of 10 earthly consequence WHO starts
the investigation or what his motives may be, II
the objects sought arc attained. Inc good re-
suits of thorough and public inquiry c0nld not
be frustrated where the subject OF inquiry Is so
important and the abuses are so serious as In this
case 1t was prophesed when the Judiciary IN
yestigation began several years ago that moth
ing would come of it, and that The TRIBUNE,
which started it, would have its labors for its
reward. But every honest lawyer Tejoices to-
day in the triumphant results of that inquiry
This proposed investigation is quite as impor-
tant, for the abuses of the jury system are to be
found in every court in the city where juries
sit in Judgment in civil or criminal causes
The objects TO be attained by such an investi-
CATION are several, all of them are in the
interest of the general public as well as OF the
legal profession, and all tend y the publication
of the courts the Sherifi's office, that OF the
Commissioner Of Jurors, those of the various
court clerks and the DIstrict-Attorney's oiiice

Few men in New-York last night felt the
need of a day of rest more profoundly than
Mayor Edison. He has bad hard week, ana IL
is fortunate for his Sunday calm that his home
ia in Fordham. If he lived IN n place more
convenient of approach on the first day OF the
week, he would pray for new Penal Code
against politicians. No provisions of the pres
ent law concerning labor on Sunday would pro-
tect him from the onslaught of the factions.
All his time Yesterday was taken up with hear
ing the! appeals of ward statesmen that
he would nominate some favorite of theirs for
a fat Office on Tuesday. After few hours OF
such suffering as these callers are 10 the habit
of inflicting, Mr.. EdsOn's thoughts must turn
back ruefully to the peaceful days before he
took ND the cares of city Office. The president
of the Produce Exchange may have some bad
quarters of an hour. But his most trying e1-
periences are as the summer afternoons OF the
lotos eaters compared with the troubles that
encompass New-York Mayor in the first week
of his term.

batch of interesting rumOrs about possible
changes in New-York Federal offices Is sent
by our Washington correspondent. According
TO these the President is DESTROYS of putting
his friend Mr. Cooper into the Collectors
office. but doubts whether he can afford to do
it. The advocates of the change have in
vented Civil Service form pt excuse for H.
They say Mr.. Cooper is business man VINO
will reform the management OF the custom
House In accordance with practical business
methods. They represent the business COM
munity of this city as clamoring for Mr.
Cooper's appointment. This is very weak
strategy, and 1t is apparent that the President
40 estimates it, Now that the Civil Service
Reform bill depends upon him for its success,
every move he makes will be watched with
Jealous care. If the appointment OF Mr..
Cooper should be made now it would be
taken as 4 sample Of what the President re-
CARDS genuine Civil Service Reform to be, and
the inference the public would draw from it
would not be an agreeable one.
Sir Charles bikes admission into the Cabl-
net has lent Fictitious importance to all his
recent utterances AS President Of the Local
Government Board he will share with the Pre-
mler and Sir William Harcourt the main labors
of the approaching session, which will be de
voted to long-deferred measures of domestic
legislation. He has already taken extreme
ground against Capitalization in local govern
ment. and has declared his intention OF dlmin
ishing the power of his new department The
Board of Trade, the Local Government Board
and the Committee of Education are probably
the most anomalous institutions IN England,
and are often cited by political critics as ir-
REPUTABLE evidence Of the fact that the local
liberties, for which the country has been so
Justly famous, are gradually giving place to
Capitalization of French Imperialist type.
The new Cabinet Minister cannot fail to
strengthen himself in the estimation of thought
full Enghshmen by setting his face IN the d.
rection Of enlarged local rights. His worst
enemies at present are his numerous and owe =
jealous friends in the London press, whose
extravagant praise, while it may not turn his
head, is becoming nauseating to the English
| public His successor in the Foreign Depart
ment is a Wing, but very capable man. The
Radicals cannot reasonably expect to have the
vacancies caused by the promotion OF Their
own men filed to their liking.
