THE republican journals claim that the
last batch of Mulligan letters are calcu-
lated to do Blaine more good than harm.
At the same time they refuse to publish
them, preferring to use their space in
Matching up some new story about the
solid south. Such is consistency as de-
lineated by the republican party and press
1t is certainly rare jewel in the ranks of
the great party of moral ideas

EGYPTIAN FINANCES.

Apparent Intention of England 60

New YORK, Sept 22.-The Sun publishes
the following cablegram: Great surprise Is
expressed in London at the announcement
that the Egyptian ministry has resolved to
divert to the payment of current ex-
to the payment of the interest and
principal of Egyptian bonds. This
is very practical and summary
suspension of the law of liquidation, and the
late Egyptian conference expressly refused
to consent to such suspension. The act Of
suspension is recognized as an act for which
England is responsible, for although it Is
ordered by the Egyptian minister of
finance, it Is we'll known that the
whole Egyptian government, from the
kheaive down, is under the
tntelage of Lord Northbrook, and practically
ruled from Downing street. The event has
caused a furry among Egyptian bondholders
i'll London, and has rreated a sensation
throughout Europe 1t is certain to lead to
diplomatic grievances, and France Is eX-
pected To set the ball in motion lay arranging
for combined protest of the powers The
London press is all at soa regarding
this new complication ,nd its prob
able effect The Liberal Journals are
half frightened at the audacity OF Lord
Northbrook's action, and ihe Tory papers are
furious The latter say that Mr.. Gladstone
called council of the powers, submitted tC
it a programme which was promptly re
| jected, and then proceeded to carry out that
programme as though the conference had
never existed, as though no power but Eng
| land had interests at stake in Egypt Such
a high-handed course Of procedure, they
| say could only he justified by an intention
on the part of England to i'm
| meiiately assume a protectorate over Egypt
and if that he the intention of Mr. Gladstone
common honesty should prompt him to an
| nounce it. The radical papers in the mean
time have fallen upon Gen. Gordon's recent
dispatches from Khartoum, and are explod
| ing what they call their incongruities anC
| absur1ities. The conclusion that they arrive
at is that Gordon is insane, and they demand
that his commission as govanor of TIN
Sondan be revoked
