Russia has secured diplomatic ally. The
French Government have suspended official
relations with Egypt in consequence of the sup
preston of a scurrilous newspaper. They are
also reported to have declined TO sanction the
financial convention by which the bankruptcy
of the country was to be temporarily averted,
with the aid of new loan guaranteed by the
Powers These abrupt measures have probably
been timed with reference to the general cleo
lions in France. The new Government having
made peace with China on the basis of the
withdrawal of every one of NJ. Ferry's original
demands, are anxious to counteract the impress
sion that their foreign policy is to be passive
and uneventful. England, being at present
deeply involved in European complications, is
singled out for Ostentatious displays OF diplo-
matte activity and resentment The Bosphore
Egyptien incident offers a convenient oppor-
tunity for energetic protests and abrupt deci-
sions calculated to restore the prestige of the
Government with the constituencies. At the
same time, it adds new yexaton to the harass-
ing cares of the Liberal Ministry in England,
and in this sense it is to be regarded as dipl0-
matte diversion in favor of Russia.
The British Government have succeeded in
finding numerous Egyptian precedents for the
suppression of the paper. Under the scheme
of Dual Control, the political agent of France
in Cairo not only sanctioned but proposed
press prosecutions for the publication of articles
aimed against the Western Powers. But even
with long array of fifty precedeuts, the action
of the British and Egyptian authorities was i'll
timed and irrational. The circulation of
French journal in Cairo and Alexandria is con-
fined to European flmilies, and It's structures
upon British administration and policy can
have little influence with the native popula-
ton. Even if the authorities were acting
within their legal rights in sending to the pub
LEGATION Office British officer with section of
heavily armed police, it was a serious blunder
to do so without consulting the French Consul.
There may have been an Arabic edition of the
paper, but even If there were, it could have
done little harm in spreading seditlon and ex-
citing hostility to English rule. AS the great
mass of the natives could not read their own
language, much less French, it mattered little
whether the Bosphore were tolerated or sup
pressed and the presence of thousands of
British soldiers in Egypt ought to have con-
WINGED the authorities that they had little TO
fear from the wanton attacks Of journal of
bad repute. BY going out of their way to stamp
upon this waspish and contemplate adversary,
they have given offence in quarter where
anger and resentment may prove very .ineOn
yenent in the present state of European affairs
If the withdrawal of the French diplomatic
representatives be followed by refusal from
Paris 10 sanction the recent contract respecting

4 CABINET OFFICER BRANDED.

Mr.. Villas will please take notice that he was
engaged, some years ago, in "a gross and
bloody violation of rights" That is the
language of Minister Kelley, who has been
duly honored by the Administration on account
of his intense rebelsm. What other reason
can be given by anybody for the appointment
of such a man as Kelley, when the King OF
Italy cannot receive him because of his public
and insulting attacks upon the conduct of the
Italian Monarchy, and when the Pope cannot
receive him because he is a backslider
and an apostate, it is hard to see.
But as a malignant rebel, he justilies
Mr.. Cleveland's appointment An Admnistra-
ton that is searching for the meanest traitors
and copperheads in the country, that it may
reward anu honor them could not consistently
overlook Kelley.
The Postmaster-General sometimes feels
lonely, no doubt. He is the only representative
in the Cabinet of that "gross and bloody
violation of rights" the suppression of the
rebellion. The Democratic side in that great
struggle is strongly represented as was proper
and Mcssrs. Garland, Bayard and Lamar do
not represent the rebel side more fairly than
the President himself who now shows by his
appointments how strongly he sympathized
with such Copperheads as Phelps OF Vermont,
Pillsbury of Maine, and McLane of Maryland.
In such company Mr.. Villas may naturally feel
both lonesome and Inundated; he was guilty
of helping the gorilla Lincoln, and his years
of repentant devotion to the cause of Democ-
racy can but family atone for that great
offence. On some accounts it might seem con-
sstent with a mans self-respect to get out OF a
Cabinet in which the necessary consultations
about the reward of Confederate and Copper
head merit must at times be embarrassed by the
presence of a Union soldier But if Mr.. Villas
can atone for his early fault by his devoted
zeal for that sort of Reform which consists
in putting the gray above the blue, he ought to
be thankful for the opportunity, and can
ACCEPT with humility and patience the singing
rebukes which great patriots like Minister
Kelley delight so much to administer.

During the past few days the weather all over
the country has been of a remarkable character
SO the good people of Vermont must think as they
pick the victims of sunstroke out of their snow
drifts and NOR the perspiraton from their stream

snow. SO must think the people of Colorado, who
have been treated to the heaviest snow-storm on
record just ut the time when they were looking for
warm weather. and while spring freshets are per-
fectly seas0nablc a tweve-inch rain-storm such as
has occurred IN Kansas not exactly seasenable,

to fire of few pistols in the air for the sake
of inspiring public confidence in the courage

Confidential

NLW-foRk, April 3D. 1885.
Hon. D-S-L MINING, Secretary Of The Ty-as-,v
DEAR SIR: have been panied OF late to observe n
tendency the part OF the Administrations and more
particularly the part Of the Department directly
under your charge to depart from the high Standard
which has hitherto prevailed in the matter of Fedora
appointments. OF the purity OF your motives and OF
your good Intentions there cam Of course no doubt
l am sure that both you ana Mr. Cleveland are most
jealous your desire to do nothing that shall raise
question the public mind ms to the sincerity OF your
devotion the spirit well TO the letter of Civil
Service reform. But every one does not knew you az
well as / do Some people show disposition to Judge
you by your acts-surely Illogical method of pro.
cedurc, born OF Ignorance and nurtured by malice The
result however, Is that somewhat embarrassed
in attempts enlghten the ignorant public as TO
the real meaning of some Of your recent acts.
Not to revert TO the of friend Mr.. Higgins
take for example, the appointment OF Pillsbury Chase
and Troup Internal Revenue Collectors. The fact
be disguised that the tendency OF such appoint
pents Is to make people question the reformaory
OF the Administration. They inclined moreover to
throw the responsibility upon you. Obviously this an
absurd conclusion, which no logical mind would
tertain But unfortunately the great Of the people

THE OBJECT OF MR.. KEELTS LIFE.

THE OBJECT OF MIR. hEELIS LIFE.
Mr.. Keely, OF motor" notoriety, has informed
n reporter that he has "at last attained the OBJ
ject of his life but singularly enough thla
object does not appear to be the success OF his
motor On the contrary, he intimatcs that he
has, for the time at least abandoned that
mystic mechanism, and has won his latest
triumph in the conquest OF that hypothetical
substance, the luminifcrous ether" When
we reflect that Science has hitherto failed TO
demonstrate the actual existence of the afore-
said ether il must be admitted that it is exceed
ingly good OF Mr.. Keely tn come forward aud
solve so difficult n problem by not merely
proving the existence of this ether, but by sub
dining il to his uses Yet when Mr.. Keely incl
dentslly calls his new discovery interatomic
air." as well as luminifcrous ether. and casually
remarks that he has " half dozen terms to APP
ply to it, we begin to experience a painful
doubt as to the stability of his invention. Per
hans after all it is not the lumnilcrous ether
that he has caught and chained. But there is
an immense advantage the kecly point
of view-in selecting nh agent which Science
has thus far failed to realize. Such an agent
cannot be subjected to analysis or tested IN any
way If Science, with characteristic incrcdulity,
should declare that Mr.. Kcely had nothing in
his liberatOr" but common air, he could insist
that the liberator was full Of carefully selected
and assorted luminiferous ether but that ~
this ether is intangible and imperceptible, of
course the stupid scientists could not perceive
it.
Now see what the Kccly Motor Company has
lost through lack of faith. Mr.. Kecly says that
his new discovery has no connection with the
motor business, and he is going to organize n
little separate corporation with tring capital
of twelve millions to work it, OF course he in
tends to give public exhibition of the new dis
coyery; that is, if the machinsts do not dsap-
point him. Those machinists have great
deal to answer for i'll connection with Mr..
Keely's inventions. They are always RESPONSE
bic for some break down at the very moment
of success. Like the man who undertook to lift
himself in a basket and would have done it had
not the bottom dropped out at the critical
moment, so Mr.. Keely has dozen times been
within hairs breadth of demonstrating that
his motor was not misnamcd Aud the con-
founded machinists are accountable for each
and every disappointment. Whether there
still exists twelve million dollars worth of faith
in the practical adaptability of luminifcr0us
ether remains to be seen. but Mr.. Kecly's own
abiding confidence in the simplicity of his fell
low-men is one of the most beautiful and touch
ing manifestations of late vouchsafcd TO us.
