BETTING ON ELECTIONS.

Betting on horse racing has often led to at
tempts to secure certain results by criminal
methods. Betting on crop production, the
ortput of mines, the flow Of oil wells, and so
forth, when done by men Of large capital natu-
rsllv leads TO combinations and corners FOR the
nurposs of assuring tho desired end. All betting

whatever power may DO possessed, in order to
the more certain winning of the bet. Ot course
there always will be great many people VINO
simply stake their money on their convictiohs'
on information they have received. or even
upon their strength OF hope and desire alone.
In politics It is plain that betting has increased
greatly of late years. and it is especially noticea-
ble that IL has increased among professional poll
ticians those, namely, who handle the machn-
cry of elections and of parties, and who IL their
intcrests prompt them W actions when their
morals do not revolt from, may lind II not int

certainty from tho situation upon which they
have wagcred II II perhaps impossible by any
legislation, or by any moral suasIon. to put an
end 90 betting. The spirit of speculation ts In
hcrcnt In human nature, ma rule, anu " can
only be suppressed by tho existence OF social
conditions cntaing Ear moro serious evils than
flow from any form Of gambling, AZ tho snmc

mately upon human character ares precarlous

tempted. no principles to be debauched. Bet
ting on elections is neither worse nor better
than any other form of betting, but all forms
of betting are open to the same dangers, ana
| this one certainly is not exempt. Therefore u
it is futile to think OF stopping the practice by
prohibition, it is the more necessary to make the

any alien influence Mt any stage OF the electoral
process. And IL is just possible that ii this is
done the interest of n good many people in Cleo

Lord Northbrooks proposals respecting

vexations problem that would be satisfactory to
Cabinet, bondholders, the Liberal party and the
constituencies The Egyptian treasury is
empty Europe will not permit any increase of
the funded debt; the heavy floating debt can
neither be lquidated nor funded and there Is
no way Of meeting the annual deficiency by
further retrenchment Taxation has reached a
limit boyond which it cannot be increased. The
deficiency OF revenue must be made up in some
way and England must furnish Che means. But

Europe the case would have Il different aspect.
As matters stand, neither the Cabinet nor the
Powers are willing to sanction this policy.

The proposals submitted by Lord Northbrook
contain nothing that IL either original or
startling. One suggestion is that the cost OF
the English garrison shall be betrayed by the
Home Government Since .thero Is no money
in the Egyptian treasury and there are no
means of borrowing, this would seem to be a
rational proposal. AS it is impossible for the
Epyptian officials to settle the claims for iabli-
ties caused by the bombardmcnt of Alexandria,
II is prcp0stcr0us to expect them to MAINTAIN
the EXPENSE of English occupation Tor an IN
definite period. But the payment OF the cost
of occupation is not the only sacrifice which
Lord NOrthbrooll requires the English people
I'm make. He also asks for reduction OF in
