"Humanity with all its fears,
with all the hopes Of future years,
A ROASTED VICTORY.

The conservative ministers of England
have won another victory for their party
which can be used to good advantage be-
fore the elections this fall. They have
secured the consent of Russia to the
Egyptian loan of nine millions sterling,
and the bonds have been floated. This
is good deal more than the liberal minis
ters were able to do. 1t is fair ques-
ton of course which cannot now be an
swered-how long before Egypt will
need some more money; but at all events
the khedive's government is in easy cir
cumstAnces at present. Part of this
$40 900, 0OO must go to meet the floating
debts of Egypt away back far as Arabi's
rebellion and the shelling of Alexandria,

HARSH NOTES FROM FRANCE.

Mr.. Smalley's cable letter to the Sun
day New York Tribune mentions that the
tributes which England pays to Gen.
Grant are ample in scope and most ad-
mirable in tone. Nearly every journal in
London and the provinces does justice to
Gen. Grants strength of character, cour-
age, and capacity. His greatness as a
soldier is even more completely recog-
nized than it was during his lifetime.
.The only exceptions" says Mr., Smalley.
"are one or two invetsrate partisans of
the rebellion, who seize the occasion of
Gen. Grants death to reiterate the ex-
preston of blind admiration for the gen.
eral whom he defeated. There runs
through all the articles of an immense
majority of the English press cordial
sympathy with the cause the triumph of
which Gen. Grant secured"
Not only the English press, but the
press Of Europe, one country only ex-
cepted, pays homage to Gen. Grants
memory. The whole Austrian Hunga
rian press, says Vienna dispatch, strives
todo justice TO his great qualities. Prince
Bismarck's organ in Berlin declares that
history will acknowledge that Gen
Grants generalship saved the Union.
Strange as it may seem, in view of the
facts of history, the one exception is
France. Mr., Smalley states, no doubt
truthfully, that " the French papers ore
filed with shrieks of vindictive abuse
and reprints of Victor Hugo'S disgraceful
inyective. They can see nothing in
Gen. Grant but the President who with
held his sympathy from France in her
wanton attack on Germany"
1t is not fairly supposable case that
the sentiments of the French people are
honestly voiced by "shrieks of vindic-
tive abuse" The people who gave to the
United States the Bartholdi statue are
not hurling anathemas at US in our hour
of mourning
The people Of France-not the fanatics
Of Paris-the people of the great French

GRANT.

oBIT JULY 20, 1885.
Tear from out the heart OF Hampshire
Granite that will stand for years
'Gainat the tempest, in the sunshine,
And the rain Of angels tears.
Write the record OF his glory,
Deep cut letters overhead,
Tell his grand historic story;
He that sleepeth is not dead.
No ones dead that leaves behind him
Such heritage of fame.
Ages after he has vanished
Fame shall trumpet forth his name
To the millions Of our nation
For which he fought and which he saved
And earned placed in glory's temple.
Where his deeds are deep engraved.
Sing Hosannah In the highest
Notes that escaped from human lips;
Grants great name shall live forever;
Nothing can his name eclipse.
Strong In battle, firm IN metal,
See his sword Fash bright and red
Mid the din and roar Of battle,
And the starry flag DER head.
Flag OF Donelsou and vicksburg,
Flag of Island Number Ten,
First victory to dispatch us,
Der the arms OF erring men.
Hating not tho noble fOeman
Who gave battle In the field,
He was full Of love and mercy
As soon ~ they were forced to yield.
The pledge of strict obedience
To the Union and the laws,
without claim to Judge the question
Neither their motive nor their cause.
Pile ye high the noble granite
Der his lowly-lying head;
Let 1t point our youth his duty
To the living and the dead;
Let II stir the fire for Patria,
When our country's call to wars
And the strife IL hard and bitter
Underneath the Stripes and Stars.

MAYOR anAcE,s COMMITTEE.

Mayor Grace appoints his committee of
billionaires and millionaires "to consider
ways and means for raising the quota to
be subscribed by the citizens of New
York city for the erection of great ma
tional monument" New York is to have
the high and priceless honor of receiving
the hero dead, but its chief magistrate,
the mayor of the richest city on the con-
tinent serves notice that it will only pay
its quota" of the expense of the mopu-
ment to stand in Central Park, and looks
to the rest Of the country to put up its
share of the cost Philddelphid Press.

CONVICT labor is used by contractors
for the work of prisoners in the manu-.
facture of many articles Of merchandise,
but manufactures employing honest Ia
Dor have for years justly protested against
such competition. Yet this policy now
stands approved for the first time by the
government in the construction of its
public buildings.

GRANT IN HISTORY.

The political experiment essayed on
this side of the Atlantic, and after eighty
years of peaceful prosecution imperiled
by disruptive forces of unexampled en-
ergy, bore with it q heritage and promise
fur more momentous to mankind than the
perpetuation of Greek culture, or even
the benign upholding of the Roman
peace aud Roman law. History, familiar
with the dire results of schism and dis
memberment, and mindful how narrowly
this continent escaped the fate of dislo-
Gated Europe, will glorify and bless the
impulse that under the leadership of
Grant restored the Union, and assured
for centuries to come the integrity and
growth of the republic. 1t was in no
mood of wild hyperbole, but in cool un-
erring prescience, that an American poet,
long before the rupture came, said of his
country that
"Humanity with all its fears,
with all the hopes Of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate"
On what a thread that fate depended,
how near those hopes were to extinction,
will be seen with even greater clearness
when a right perspective is attainable by
a proper distance from the facts. The
future will measure the enormity of the
risk successfully encountered, the gran
deur of the interests at stake, and in the
foreground of the picture over which
history shall linger will tower the figure
of the man who bore the standard of his
country from victory to victory, and
whose name is linked forever with the
triumph of unity and freedom in Amer.

DEMOCRATIC organs are jubilant over
the crushing out of John Roach, and
openly boast that his destruction brings
"the great REFORM free ships, much
nearer. 1t will be glorious day indeed for
the republic when the American flag does
not float over single American bottom
on the worlds highways of commerce!

REPUBLICAN papers should stamp out
the falsehood, circulated in few Demo-
cratic organs, that the Treasury Depart
ment was required by law to give out q
contract based on convict labor. There
is no such law. The act was voluntary
and was consummated after The REPUB-
LIcAN had called attention to the fact
that the Secretary could freely exercise
his choice in the premises.

EDITOR DANA modestly claims that his
solar illuminator is model religious
newspaper. We have often noticed and
occasionally commended the fervent
piety of its leading editorials. Its recent
republication of the Pal Mall Gasette's
exposures of iniquity in London must,
however, go back beyond the Christian
era for any justification on the religious
