THE PROBLEM IN EGYPT.
The Conditions for Self Government Not Yet
Present.


The Conditions for Self Government Not Yet
Present.
The Nineteenth Century.
The conditions required for SELF COVE nrnenv DO
not exist in Egypt. The plain hard fact that
ever since the days of the shepherd kings the
Egyptians have been subject race, ruled over
by an endless series of foreign dynasties, is not
to be explained as a mere matter of accident,
Whatever the future may have in store for
Egypt the only system of government possible
in this country for the time being is the one to
which it has been accustomed for thousands of
years-that is, a system of personal government.
The despotism may be just, lawabiding and
progressive, such as is the rule of England in
India, or it may be cruel, arbitrary and retro
grade, such as is the rule of Turkey i'll Europe
but in either case it must be des-
potism. Under an enlightened despotism the
Egyptians may possibly develop in years to come
the qualities for self-government they do not
now possess: under an unenlightened dcspotism
they may become more degraded and less fit It
possible to govern themselves than they are at
present. But under one name or the other SUI
preme power in Egypt must be vested in the
hands of an autocrat. Now, up to the deposi-
ton of lsmail Pasha the viceroys of Egypt
were autocrats. Their will was law. The story
of the baker and the butler who were fellow-pris-
ouers with Joseph embodies the whole theory Of
Egyptian government If the Pharaoh of the
hay was Just and upright ruler, the baker in
all likelihood deserved his hanging while the
'outler merited his promotion If the Pharaoh
was unjust and corrupt the baker was probably
banged to crafty private malice while the but
Ter was exalted from motives of personal greed;
but, rightly wrongly justly or unjustly,
the one was hanged, the other raised
to honor because such was the
good will and pleasure of the "effendlna'-the
lord and master. 1t was on this principle that
Ismai Pasha maintained his rule. No doubt
mis- authority was less supreme than that of his
predecessors because the presence of powerful
and independent European colony in Egypt
acted as a control upon arbitrary license. Still,
up to the end, he, in as far as the natives were
concerned, could reward this man and punish
chat as seemed good in his own eyes. With the
exception of few great personages, who enjoyed
che personal favor of the Porte or had the ear
Of foreign powers, every Egyptian knew that for
him it lay in the Khedive's power to deal out re-
ward or punishment according to his own good
pleasure. The story of the rise, fall and fate OF
the Motettish Ismail Sadyk is of itself sufficient
TO show how to the last the exKhedive was mas
Ter over his own people With his deposition,
the authority of the khedivate received a shock
from which recovery was wellnigh impossible.

Important Sale of Thoroughbred Cattle and
Horses at Lexington.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BLooMINGToN, May 1.-The most important
cattle and horse sale held in Mclean county for
many years was held at Lexington, Ill, to day,
J. W. Judy being the auctioneer The first sale
was from the short-horn herd of Hon. William

young COWS, sold for s., 250; twelve short horns
sold for 81, $50. Following the sales of short
horns came sale of Norman horses. The ami

THE SKYE CRoFTERs.
who and What They Are-Their Rents, and
How They Live.

HOW Ihey Live.
Correspondence London Times.
1t is on the messy land in the center of the
Island of Skye that the crofters, who form about
nine-tenths of the population of the island
which amounts to 5, 700 souls-have their settle
ments. They are scattered over it in townships,
numbering from twenty to eighty families, or
from one hundred to four hundred persons. 1t
is with these townships unquestionably and
with their ordinary inhabitants, that the IN
9uirer into their crofter system in the Outer
Hebrides has to do. What the erofters would
like would be to have the fertile belt of 'machar'
land on the west coast divided into crofts and
allotted to them; but the reply made to them is
that they could not afford to pay the high rent
which the land commands in the market. The
crofters evidently find the culture Of their
lands very discouraging if not altogether
hopeless task. Nothing could well be more mel
ancholy than the aspect of most of the crofts in
South Ust The natural sluggshness of the soil
is reflected in the despairing incidence of those
who work it. The houses of the South list
cPofters are for the most part wretched novels.
They are generally built of rough stone but in
some cases the walls are either wholly or partly
of turf.
1t is the exception, rather than the rule for
these crofters to be punctual in the payment of
land from E3 to go year But it is with the
poorer class of crofters that there is the greatest
trouble Those who are liable for the
highest rents are usually able to
pay them. The crofters who are
most generally i'll arrears those who pay, or
who ought to pay, the smallest rents. Some of
that class in South Uist are at the present time
behind with their rents to the extent of two and
three years, and the arrears now amount to sew
eral thousands of pounds, which there is but lit
lie chance of the proprietor ever recovering.
The greatest difficulty, however, in the case of
he crofters, is that of Overpopulation. That is
undoubtedly the chief cause of the prevailing
poverty The crofters are by no means Malthu-
slams in their domestic economy They multiply
at marvellous rate, and the surplus popula-
ton never thinks of hiving off, crofter township
very soon comes to resemble an overgrown
rabbit warren. When a crofters son grows up
and marries, he simply settles down a matter
of course on his fathers bit of land, building
for himself new hut, putting up a pent-
house for himself at one end of his fathers
cottage The evils resulting from the over
crowdng of the crofter townships point to
emigration the best solution of the difficulties
of the case. The one influence which is likely
20 shake and eventually to uproot the prejudice
Of the island crofters against emigration is that
Of education. AS intelligence spreads among
the people it may be hoped that their ideas
will be enlarged, and that the ambition of the
younger members to better themselves will be
uuickened.

FORT WAYNE May AT l o'clock this
morning, at Montpelier, thirty eight miles south
of Fort Wayne, on the Fort Wayne, Cincinnati
& Louisville railway occurred the fatal shooting
of Joseph Streets, q young farmer, who was on
his road home from town. A circus gave ex-
hibition in the town last night, at the close of
which noisy crowd gathered in the saloons
Streets beat off several antagonists, who after
wards met him on his way home, but they fired
avolley from pistols, A bullet struck him under
the left arm and he fell to the ground. The
crowd dispersed, and at 10 o'clock tonight no
arrests have been made. The town bears an I'M
savory reputation, and the constabulary are dis
tinguished only for inactivity. Private ad
vices from Montpelier say Streets will die to-
night.
