THE BATTLE IN EGYPT.

After three signal and overwhelming de.
feats of Egyptian armies, backed and off,
cered and in part manned by the English,
the latter have gained a victory over the
Soudanese rebels under Osman Digma near
Trinkitat. OF course, the trained soldiery
of England and the all but invincible cour-
age of the English army must tell against
the semi. civilized hordes of upper Egypt
and central Africa. There has been no
doubt about that from the outset, and the
result but emphasizes the fatal step first
taken toward the abandonment of the Sou.
dan to the rebels and the fanatics of Ell
Mahdi. Against England are opposed vast
hordes of fatalists who do not fear death,
and climate deadly to the Anglo.Saxon.
Whatever English arms accomplish must
be quickly done, and General Graham ap-
pears to have acted upon that convic.
ton. It will not do to estimate
this temporary victory too highly. 1t
is but one of many steps to be
taken, and every one will leave a bloody
imprint. The Soudanese are not to be con-
quered by single battle the interests of
the slave traders are not to be broken down
in one shock of arms the fanaticism and
reckless bravery of the Arab tribes cannot
be treated with contempt because of one
victory by the British. and all the &C.
counts of which emanate from and come
through English sources.

REDUCTION IN TELEGRAPH RATES.

Statements have recently been made that
the Western Union Telegraph Company
had reduced its tariffs on the transmission
of messages. The company is rendering
very good and efficient service at really low
rates but it is always in order to present
public matters in their true light, and the
present reductions may therefore be justly
characterized as more apparent than real.
The only rate exceeding 81 in the United
States was between the Pacific coast cities
and Atlantic cities, practically between
San Francisco and New York, in which in.
stance the rate for messages of ten words
was 81 so. The night rate, however, was
only one. half of the day rates, and as re-
suit there was little or no day.rate bust.
ness done over the line. The company has
reduced the day rate from 81 so to 81, but
has net cOrrespOndingly reduced the night
rate. But 90 per cent of all the business
between the extremes of the continent was
done st the night rate; therefore the re-
duction means a reduction of 80 per cent.
on 10 per cent, of the business. The reduc-
ton will increase the day business. Dis
patches are usually sent because the occa-
sion of sending requires expedition of COM
muuication, while 81 80 for message of
ten words, as against IS cents for the night
rate, would deter many persons from send.
ing dispatches in the day time 81 for the
new day rate as against 70 cents, the sub
sisting night rate, will secure much
larger volume of day business. The re-
duction will therefore largely increase
rather than diminish the revenues of the
company.
The tendency manifest in tslegrsphic
rates has been constantly downward.
Within few years the volume of business
will have 30 far increased as to justify
much lower rates throughout the country.
The only criticism we have to make on all
this is the danger of further reductions in
tae wages paid operators, The cheap tele-
graphic rate which reduces twenty thou
sand skillful and industrious operators to
point barely above starvation should not be
welcomed by the public. Operators are
entitled to fair compensation rate at
which they can accumulate property and
become independent in their helpless age
They should be able upon their earnings to
raise their families respectfully and to ed
ucate their children, and the public has no
right to rate of service which, to main.
tain the monopoly of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, viii impoverish these
operators.

TIE DYNAMITE BUSINESS.

It is being debated in governmental cir
Giles in England whether the United States
shall not be appealed to join in treaty
with other nations to put dynamite con-
spiracies and dynamite assaults upon cities
on a penal plane above ordinary attempts
to do murder, and with view of making
the infamous dynamite business more dan.
gerous to the cowardly miscreants who en-.
gage in it. If we are solicited to this end
why should we not respond approvingly ?
What is there in the theory or practice of
our form of government which gives ground
for the expenditure on our part of the
slightest sympathy upon assassins The
time may not be far distant when we may
desire and need the countenanee of friendly
nations in throttling the vermin that make
indiscriminate war upon women and chill
dren by concealed bombs, torpedoes and
internal machines. We believe we should
go to the extent of branding as criminally
infamous the concocting of plots of war,
and the raising f money heae to aid them
against any nation with which We are at
peace. There is no line of law, no section
in codes of moral, no letter in the statutes
of international country, and no doctrine
in the system of republic that justifies
approval of our soil being used as vantage
ground from which to assail friendly ma
ton. When it comes to efforts of armed
men to inaugurate actual war we do pu.
on the seal of condemnation and resist by
force of arms, as we did in the case of the
raids upon the Csnadas some years ago,
and there would appear to be no good
reason why we should not act earlier in the
day for the future

THE PLATFORM.


The platform of the Republican party in
its Municipal Convention for this city, and
which is published elsewhere, is of no un.
certain tone. 1t is very plain reading and
its directness will address every intelli-
gence. 1t speaks positively upon import
ant topics, and is capable of no misappre-
hension. As the Sacramento election will
be the first held in California in the Pres
idential year in which there will be party
contest. the declarations of the represent.
atives of the party, even though in major
part purely local, are of significant value.
OF still greater importance is the election
soon TO follow. So long as municipal elec-
tions are 20 be conducted through the
agency of party organizations there is every
reason for Republicans securing unques-
tionsble nominees and of winning party
triumph, for in no small degree viii the
voice of the party here have influence upon
elections to follow later on, and in consol.

ing national contest.

Charles Gibson. says the Gait Gazette, the
notorious fset-footed champion runner who
carried off the Sacramento boys sack at
Hawks Corners last fall, is in town, hale and
hearty. Professor Gilpin has not showed up
yet, however, but it is reasonable to think the
gentleman is not far distant. and it is certain
there is something brewing. It is whispered
around the block that some town in the
mountain mining region will be the scene of
a race in the near future. We think it is in
order for the Sacramento boys to catch on, F"
that they might divest themselves Of their
plethoric purses.

A Modesto saloon-keepsr, whose
saloon has been closed by the Reg
ulators, publishes an humble
card asking permission to reopen,
saying that he has large stock CT
perishable goods. and that he must
support his family. He concludes
thus: 81 must open my place. at
the same time promising you that
I will keep a quiet and respectable
house, and at the same time grant
ing you the privilege. if you see tit,
should I not stand by my agree
ment, to again serve notice on me
to close. Should you not ans wer
this letter, I will then take it for
granted that I have your per-
mission, and will proceed to open
at once" As the laws of Califor-
MIA allow men to sell liquor on pay
ing lice.se, it would seem that
the Regulators of Modesto are
somewhat exceeding their jurisdic-
ton.
