Having recorded themselves in favor or the
most degraded partisanship III ouscihG WI
Peelle from his seat the Democrats III Tue iio,''0
will probably not hesitate to eject mayor NC
Kinlev. The contest on the part OF MI d"
lace was an after thought, and woulo move,
have been made had not the Democrats secuIeu
large majority in the House. But MI va
Loco evidently did not mistake the character OF
that majority. In the name of the Democratic
marty it is apparently willing to commit almost
ony outrage. 1t could not commit worse one
than that of reversing the will of the voters to
benefit defeated candidate. 1t is encouraging,
however to see honest Democrats SUCH as MT.
Robertson and Mr.. Hurd resisting this unjust
course of their party associates.
1t is becoming daily habit OF Mr.. lllden 10
decline the Democratic Presidential nomina-
ton. The last person 20 make the offer was
Mr.. Lucius Robinson. 1t does not appear that
Mr. Robinson came away from GreystOne con-
WINGED that Mr.. Tilden would accept. But such
was the curious effect upon the leader OF a
Pacific Coast delegation which recently visited
Mr.. Tiden-when he reiterated his intention
not TO become candidate. The fact that 80
many prominent Democrats give knowing
wink when Mr.. Tilden says that he will not
accent, and then 60 to work the harder for him,
must be taken az touching tribute to his moral
greatness.
The quarrel between the Egyptian Ministers
and the English Under-Secretaries has broken
ont afIesh Mr.. Clifford Lloyd, who was the
most competent Englshman in the Egyptian
civil service and has taken resolutc stand III
favor of administrative reforms, has left Cairo
and will not return. Nubar now insists that no
English successor shall be appointed and that
Mr.. Llovds nominees shall be dismissed.
Other designations are said to be imminent ana
Nubars attitude to the British Government Is
more aggressive and less conciliatory than II
has been at any time since he became Premier
If he cannot govern Egypt under English
| tutelage there is no other native statesman VINO
can hope to succeed in so thanlIcSs an under
taking. If English reforms are to be carried
! into execution. the administration OF the Gov
! eminent must be in the hands OF Engllshmen.
The folly of strikes has again been illustrated
at Fall River The spinnors, after wasting in
that way a good deal Of money and time have
offered to return 10 work. But many OF them
find their former places occupied, and are thus
unable to get employment even at reduced
wages. A similar result followed the recent
strike of ciaar- makers in this city. The union
ordered 200 persons to quit work. although
they had been treated exceptionally we'll by
their employers, and were without any just
grievance. They remained out four months,
! attempted boycotting lost $4,000 in wages
and consumed 81 :, goo of the unions funds, and
/ then offered to return TO work. But only GO
of them were taken back, the places of the re-
naming LILO having been flied by others
Such costly lessons ought not to be without
effect. But in Pittsburg, where the employers
want to have such disputes settled by arbitra-
ton. the union officers are opposing the pro-
position. They prefer force to reason.
