straotion2 After demonstrating that the pro-
tective system is wrong, Mr. Carlisle seeks to
allay the alarm which his argument would
naturally excite by saying that he wants a
reformation, not revolution"
1t is we'll that the country should know
that the wing of tho democratic party which
Speaker Carlisle represents is opposed to u
protective tariff, and is only deferred from
taking measures to destroy it by the dread
of the political consequences which would be
sure to follow such an attempt, The speech
delivered by Mr. Carlisle on Saturday even

The Egyptian War.

The fighting temper Of the English has
been thoroughly aroused by the recent bat
ties in Nubia, and the ministry will be obliged
to go on with the war. Mr.. Gladstone was
exceedingly reluctant to engage in extensive
military operations in region where but
little is to be gained by the conquest, but he
was powerless to arrest the course of events.
The infatuated Arabs were determined to
fight, and they struck before tho Egyptian
commanders were ready for them. Nothing
will satisfy the English now but the complete
humiliation of the rebels.
Since England has assumed q protectorate
over Egypt sho is bound to defend the
khedive even when his armies are attacked
in thor remote outposts. A campaign on the
borders of tho Nubian desert involves great
loss Of life and suffering and no inconsider-
able expense, but England, having under
taken to uphold the authority Of the khediye,
cannot abandon him when ho is menaced
with Il most formidable instruction. The
task is difficult one, but England mus
carry ii through.
/ Mr.. Gladstone, in his anxiety to avoid war
lost prestige with tho people. He gave Tn,
conservatives an opportunity to call for
| specific declaration as to the policy OF tn
ministry, and this was made, not by Nj

While Rev. Mr.. Kent, of the Church Of our
Father, corner of Thirteenth and l. streets,
was in the midst of his very interesting SER
mon last evening a very large Newfoundland
dog opened the swinging doors OF the church

upon the congregation, and stalked slowly
down the main aisle wasging his tail hriskly.
After making tour Of the church, but find
ing no invitation to take o seat he was
quietly led out by member of the church.
few moments later he entered again and
proceeded directly to the pew occupied by a
REPUBLICAN reporter. The sagacious ami
NAL then put his head on the reporters lap
and apparently became an interested listener
of Mr.. Eent's remarks. While thus listening
no was taken by the collar and led out again,
his honest countenance plainly expressing
his disappointment at not being allowed to
remain. He did not come again.

the house of representatives was simply an

people in their great loss and that the house
has no concern with those relations between
tho legislative and executive branches of the

expression of sympathy from reaching the
