cupation of Egypt will be limited; that
England is to advance eS,000,000 to
Egypt, and an International Institu-
ton formed to receive moneys hypothe-
Gated for debt, and all the revenues of
the country. France objects to Eng

to refer the question to the conference.
The Gazette expresses the belief that
no one outside the cabinet will put up
with these terms.

from two of five persons -Tilden,
Cleveland, Payne, Hoadly and Hend-

GERMAN REPUBLICANS BOLTING
Ready to Vote the Democratic Ticket
if a Good Ticket is Nominated.


ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, June II, 1Ss4.-The
dissaffection among the Republicans,
especially among the Germans, grows
every hour. The latest leader to voice
his sentiments here is Mr.. Adolph
Busch, a well known brewer. He has
hitherto been considered a staunch Re-
publican and a power among the Ger
mans. He said:
I" am very much opposed to Blaine
as tbs standard bearer of the Republi-
can party, and think the Chicago con-
vention made fatal mistake in NOM
mating him. His chances for success
are very small, indeed, even at the best
and when the Germans throughout the
country have had explained to them
and thoroughly understand his true po-
sition on the leading questions of the
ay-particularly on the prohibition
issue-they will oppose him to man
and give their entire strength to the
rival candidate. His constituency in
Maine are all prohibitionists, and his
course in the Legislature of the State
was such as would gladden. the hearts of
the most violent prohibitionists. This
alone (nOt considering the large num-
ber of other dark spots Oh his record is
sufficient to ALLEVIATE the German vote,
as the Republican party will learn to
its sorrow. AS it is there is nothing for
us to do but vote with the great DEM
ocratic party, and if they put up the
right man they will sweep the country.
All this talk of Schun about a new in
dependent party is bosh. If the DEM
Gratis nominate good man, like Bayard
or Cleveland, we will all fall in line
with them and march on to victory.

CONGRESSMAN Follett thinks it very
doubtful if Blaine can carry Ohio by
anything like the sweeping majority
that the Republicans are counting on.
Ohio towns and cities, he says, are filled
with Germans, and if there is one thing
above another they hate it is the doc
trine of prohibition. "Blaine is now,
and has been for years, so closely iden-
titled with that doctrine that think he
will fall far short of the full strength of
his party in Ohio"

Serious Powder ExpIosion.

AKRON, o., June 16.-A day or two
ago bank under a brick powder mag
azine, northwest of the city, gave way,
Wrecking the building. The powder
was being removed this evening, when
a boy named Woods recklessly threw a
light into the place, causing an explo-
sion of what powder was left, by which
Perry Peck, aged Is, was killed, nothing
being found but his scared trunk and
skull. Several other lads passing near
were hurt, but none seriously.

GOOD lawyers have the cheek to say
that the law requiring business men and
firms to record their firm name with the
county recorder is ponderous, and like
the pond lily, will prove unconstitution-
al upon this ground. That the penalty
for noncompliance with the law is tc
deprive the firm guilty of it of the
rights of legal process against debtors
and this is impairment of contract
which the constitution especially for
bids. For debt, is contract to pay
and such a law impairs it by releasing
the debtor upon conditions that are nc
part of the contract. A case is in pre-.
paratiOn to test it before the supreme
court.
The present campaign promises to be
noisy one. The Republicans are
saving the Democrats from all necessity
for indulgence in the usual mud-sling-
ing, by commencing the filth business
upon their own candidates. While
Blaine is the most vulnerable of the
whole list of them who sought the
Chicago nomination, it goes without
saying that there was not one of those
whose record as a political corruptionist
would not have evoked like amount
of antagonism from those within the
part whose disappointment must have
chance for an airing. There was the
sanity Edmunds, the very Elijah of the
party, whom William Walter Phelps
had been compelled to unmask, and
whom the great party Of morals dared
not trust out ofsight. There was Logan
with his inglorious antecedents as the
dirty-work conscript of a select Con-
gressional propaganda. There was John
Sherman with the most unsavory of
records in his fluctuating and vacilla-
ting financial vagaries. There was Lin
coin with no record at all, and there was
Hawley in the same boat with. Lincoln.
Who but Blaine could the grand old
party cast its fortunes with? Blaine,
the man who had dared to beard the
New York lion in his den, and reduce
him to the dimensions of barnyard
gObbler!

SOME of the papers are finding fault
with Gov. Hoadly for expressing his
belief that the Scott law is unconstitu-
tional. Gov. Hoadly is sworn to sup.
port the constitution of this State, and
he is but in the line of his duty. One
paper suggests that as the Scott law
brings good revenue the constitution
ought not to be strictly construed under
such circumstances. The Constitution
is of more Importance to the people OF
this State than big sum of revenue.
When its defenses are broken down we
are virtually people without law.
1t is of the utmost Importance that all
vested rights of the people be preserved.
1t is the priceless boon which makes
the constitution of the State the guar
dian of the liberties of the people.
When such loose doctrines prevail con-
cerning the fundamental law of the
State, highwaymen will be good men
when their avocation brings large rev.
