''Howard's Letter." in last Sunday Press,
after few lines upon such elevatng and
instructive subjects as "Queen Victoria's

President elect Of the United States. He
mentions ''his thick hide" ''his calloused
heel" "his thoroughly stocked FORMS"
"the stupid fellow" ''his thick head this,
with other polite aud dignified personalism,
he follows by an equally extreme panegyr-
ism of Blaine, which is heaped up, ad naus-
aae-this is what the Press sets before its

Mr.. Clevoland's personality simultaneous
statement from the Times, the result of
Senator Garland's impressions of our new
Chief Magistrate, would not be out of place.
The Senator said 81 had formed my opin.
ions of Governor Cleveland from the press.
l had never SEN him. When l went to
Albany l expected to find man Of gross
habit and limited scope, but instead found
dignity and majesty of person which i'm
pressed me at once. found grace and
affability of manner which soon placed me
at case. found a mind capable of grasp
ing the most complicated questions of pub
lie policy and the closest details Of admin
istration. l 70 und bruadncss of view, q
determination to do right, range of con.
versaton which satisfied my mind that there
was higher dispensation in the nomination
and election of Grover Cleveland than was
realized at the time.'
1t is possible that Mr. Garland's Judgment
may have at least equal consideration witt
the opinion of "Howard," pamphletee
whose bias is notably in accord with tn,
truculent temperament of the editor of th,
Press, who has endeavored to propagat
among his readers an idle antipathy to Mr.
Cleveland and to that end has successful,
gained the aid ola iling panderer to iancie
so extremely in bad taste.

Semitic but Coptic or Egyptian racial iden-
tity and persistent opposition to Mahometan
proselytizaticn clearly point to the fact as
to who are the native people of Egypt.
This peoply is clearly distinct from the
Arabs both in religion and blood, they are
those whom the Khedive governs and is at
present defending against the encroach ment
of the Mahdi. It is not denied that there
are thousands of the followers of Mahomet
who are still faithful to the Khedive but
tine point indicated is that the Mahdi has no
logical position as patriot, but is an inter
loper. Ell Mahdi finds it necessary to CO.
cree the Egyptians by threats or bribes to
desert the Khedive. HIS followers, the
Arabs are flockng to his standard simply
because he raises the flag of the Prophet
1t is a religious war of conquest similar to
what occurred in Europe in the time of the
Crusades, and the Khedive is simply in the
position of King Or governor whose terri
tory is invaded by an incurs'on of robber
hordes. He represents what there is Of
modern civilization in Egypt against semi
barbarism pure and simple, against horde
of nonadic pilferers who, were they success.

that has been known in Europe for the las
six or seven centuries.
The above being the case is it matter o

these robber chieftaiDs, who at a moment
notice would even deposes their Mahdi, is i
a matter of surprise that England, as w
ourselves, or any other nation under simi!a
circumstances could do anything else bu

Already the latest advces distinctly stat
that England is prompted to do SO by til
statements of the press of Germany, Aul

Englaud's action while her own minstr
inspired by the halting Gladstone is til

1t is remembered that the general drift of
the New York Times critiques upon SENATOR
BAYARD's treatment of the Trade Dollar
question in the Senate is generally in the
objection of an endorsement Of the Delaware
Senator As that journal is deservedly re-
ceived among us an authority upon national
questions the tendency Of some of our local
papers to give an ca parte quotation from
that journal, reserving some of the more
important points, it may be necessary to say
treatment of the Trade Dollar question is
not one of endorsement.
1t says: "a very considerable number of
these dollars (trade dollars) got into the
hands of men and women who were, in a
sense, forcei to receive them, and whose
power to refuse them, though complete under
the law, practically did not exist. There
can be but very little harm in buying UP the
trade dollars, and, considering the gross
blunder made by Congress in giving them at
one time legal tender quality, there is a
certain moral obligation to do ST."
The point in the above is that SENATOR
BAYARD's apologists quote the Times as
endorsing him. SENATOR BAYARD stated in
the Senate that Congress had no moral right
'rhateUer to buy them up. As quoted above,
the Times says it has that liability.

In contradiction to the assertion as to the
probability ofthe building ofthe Nicaraguan
canal, it is stated in Washington that tae
surveys for that canal which have been
prosecuted during many years and under
several administrations, are so complete that
one of the most experienced engineers in the
country gentleman peculiarly familiar
with canal work, says that the canal can,
without doubt, be finished in five years. The

will be absent. When there Is quo

Mr.. RANDALL has drawn blood
second time in his contest with the free
trade wing aoI his party in securing
offices from Presiden. Cleveland for his
friends. Ever since the ad vent of the
new admi nistration, there was nobody
talked of for the position TO any great
extent ex"ep. Mr.. Morcy of Mississippi
and Mr.. Bell of Missouri, and for two
or three days past i. was pretty clearly
settled in everybody's mind that Mr..
Bell could sit down, fold his arms and
calmly await the call of President
Cleveland. The call has come at last
but there was neither the ring of Money
nor Bell in il. Randall whispered in
the ear Of the President and when the
call came it was for Hay, Malcolm
Hay, of Pennsylvania, bosom FRIEND
of Mr.. Randalls, an ardent protection
list and bitter opponent of Speaker
Carlisle and his free trade gang. Hay
beats blue grass all the time. Ran

The appointment of II ggins of Balti-
more, TO position in the Treasury De-
partmeut, has led to some animadver-
sion in regard TO his character by seve-

such appointment is harmful TO public

must certainly be conceded by large
