Commercial Groupings.

1t is reported that Austro- Hungary
is to enter into Custom Union with
Germany. If so, this will be the first
of the National Commercial Groupings
which are threatened. The invitation
to join was extended by Germany, it is
said, as a countermove against France,
which has lately increased the duties on
wheat to the detriment of Austria.
There has been tendency also to alb
sorb Spain, if the recent row over the
Caroline Islands does not lead to a
rupture. 1t is impossible to tell where
this Commercial Grouping is going to
end. Russia, if she did not sell so much
wheat to England, might also be in
duced to come in.
The other groupings which have been
suggested, but SO far only dimly out,
lined, are of England and her Colonies,
in all parts of the world, and of the
United States and all the nations OF
both the American Continents, exclud.
ing of course Canada. 1t is quite evi
dent that commercial changes of a very
extensive character are impending
France has always pursued peculiar
policy. She has two tariffs --one the
general, which runs against the world
at large, and the other, the conven
tional. The latter is in the nature of a
special agreement with particular
nation. The principle at bottom is the
common commercial one of making
concessions to large customers. Il

A Great rad Of Anei,nt Record i~ Eogp

More than 10000 fragments Of
ancient records have been dug up from
the sands of Egypt, where they have
rested embalmed during nine centuries,
not very much the worse for their
interment. The history of these
venerable documents is remarkable.
Prof. Karabacek supposes that they
must at one time have formed part OF
the public archives of Ell Fayoum, and
that the bulk of these archives perished
in great conhagration, such as des-
troyed the great library at Alexandria.
The fellaheen of those days seem to
have risen in revolt against their natural
enemy, the tax-gatherer, and possibly
they associated together the tax-collector
and the archives as emblems of the
same extortion. Ii Prof Karabacek
is right, they set fire to FL Fayoum and
its documentary treasures without COM
junction, and these 10000 papyri and
parchments, some of them charred by
| fire, alone remained of the collection.
Prof Karabacek and his coadjutors will
have their hands full of work for some
time to come in classifying what has
come to their hands, The Professor
makes a preliminary division of the
manuscript into groups comprising
eleven different languages, more than
one of which will be absolutely new to
the well-educated reader 1t is not
surprising to learn that the key for
decIphering those of the manuscripts
which are styled Meroitic-Ethiopian
has yet to be discovered. Merely to
decipher those fragments which are
writteri in the more familiar tongues OF
Coptic, Hebrew, Syrica, Persian and
Arabian requires polyglot accomplish
ments far from common even among
German scholars.
The very papyri on which most OF
these records are written are standing
evidence of the oppression to which the
fellah was subjected. The manufacture
and sale Of papyrus was state mono
poly, and it ended, as monopolies often
do, in driving trade elsewhere. The
day when paper began to take the place
of the papyrus plant was perhaps the
seal of the commercial decline of Egypt.
But that all refinement was not
crushed out Of the Egyptians who
peopled Ell Fayoum, may be inferred
from the numerous fragments of
manuscripts of authors comprised in
the collection. Amons them is uni
que specimen Of ancient manuscript =
fragment of Thucydides, supposed to
be earlier by seven centuries than the
earliest extant manuscript ofthat author.
Altogether, the Ell Fayoum archives
may be expected to prove one Of the
most wonderful discoveries in this age

During the early periods of the fight
against the Chinese in San Francisco
the property owners were generally to
be found advocating the cause Of
Chinese immigration, but as the re-
suits of Chinese competition have en-
tailed themselves upon the prosperity
of that city the property owners are
adding their strength and arguments to
the laboring masses, and are demand
ing redress Tor the property deprecia-
tions which they have themselves
helped to precipilate. The San Fran
cisco Bulletin in lengthy article on
"Chinatown," after setting forth the
dangers of Chinese immigration to
property generally, concludes with the
following remarks "More than one
hundred prcperty-owners were inter
viewed during the past week, and they
were all Of one opinion, and that is that
they must leave, their property must be
disposed OF to Cinnamon and in many
instances at the Chinaman's own terms"

dependent upon herself for her amuse-
ments. 1t is only at irregular periods
that the outside world contributes to
our enjoyment, and in these instances
the cost Of bringing amusements to our
shores is SO great that those who ven
ture here are mostly stranded troupes
who take desperate chances to retrieve
their fortunes. Honolulu is not large
enough to sustain theater, and be.
sides we do not have the disposition
t. sustain regular amusements. There
are several causes for this state of
things, which we need not here enter
upon. What we wish to call the atten-
tion of our citizens to at present is the
advisability Of fostering our home
amusements, which must largely take
the place of those that most other
cities of our size enjoy from the out
side world.
An object must always follow the
labor and interest necessary to the get
ting up Of public entertainments In
the professional world living to the
actors engaged is the immediate object;
but in place like Honolulu the object
must be different, yet, nevertheless an
object. 1t is fit and proper then, that the
object of our home amusements gener-
ally should result in the aid and fur
therence of charitable institutions.
This has always been the object of our
home amusements. Socials, festivals,
concerts, and even theatrical compa-
nies organized here have generally been
for the benefit of these home institu-
tions
To extend the scope and usefulness
of our home amusements should be
the constant endeavor of our citizens.
snake your children laugh with inno-
cent entertainment, and you will never
weep over their deeds in after life," is
at least laudable Greek maxim, even
if it is not strictly logical one.
These remarks naturally lead us to
the consideration of the newest de-
parture in future home amusements in
Honolulu, which was mentioned in our
local columns yesterday. We refer to
the proposed Authors Carnival, for
the benefit of the Honolulu Library,
which the promoters propose to hold
about the month of February next
provided our citizens give them the
proper encouragement and aid.
These literary carnivals have been a
permanent success in the cities of the
United States for many years, and those
of us who have attended them can
testify to the lasting good influences
they have exerted upon the young in
every city where they have been given.
These carnivals present our children
with map of the leading literary lights
and their works in the same manner
that geography presents a colored
map of state or nation to the pupil.
There is this difference, however, that
the carnival parades the living char
acters of the history, which the geo,
graphical maps mention in the printed
context. We doubt not but that many
of us who consider ourselves familiar
with the leading novelists and poets of
modern literature, would soon find
ourselves asking one another questions
as to this character or that, if carnival
is gotten up here.

The Time TO Travel.

Now is the time to travel. There Is no
great amount of business doing and no
great profit in what is done. 1t is good
time to shut up shops and improve the mind
pytravel. The carrying companies are kind
to appreciate the situation and 10 aid loco
motion by very low charges FOR transporta,
tlon. The European immigrant can come
across the ocean for ten doll Is aud for
another dollar be taken TO Chicago. The
passage back to Europe can be had for
nine dollars. 1t is quite probable that
frit-class fares will fall nearly Ia
the level Of second-class, and tht
the passenger can cross the continent ar.
the ocean for less than it will cost him f,
live at home. Travel will become
necessary economy to the many whose in
comes are stinted by the hard times. There
are so many boats upon the ocean that
fares must come down TO I'll them m.
Even now it Is about as cheap 10 90 To
Europe as to stay at home. TRAVELLING on
our railroads is still expensive when YOU
have but short distance to 20: but
you can get to Chicago at very
reasonable price. In little while the
cost Is likely to be less than to Pbila-
delphla, even for first class travel. "a il AL
ready is for immigrants. a dollar head
from New York 10 Chicago seems TO be q
trltie below cost and the field appears to b.
ieft clear to the Pennsylvania at this ilg-
ure. AT three dollars a head there is said
10 be profit in the business, even fnr first
class passage, and to this figure We are
hkeiy to get. There is nothing like such
processes as these for squeezing the water
out OF railroads, and when the COMPANIES
get ialriy launched upon these low prices
OF transportation we will soon have the
Iaiiroaas reduced 70 the condition of lean
ness necessary for future running.

LANCASTER, JANUARY 90, Iss5.
New York's New Senator.

The nomination of Mr.. Evarts by the
Republican caucus of New York and his
election by the legislature that is to follow,
make triumph for intellect. That quail
ity Mr.. Evarts undoubtedly has; and it is
one that has been lacking in many Of the
men sent to the United States Senate of
late years. He is not only very able and
very distinguished lawyer, but he is q man
of general culture, and one of the foremost
orators of the country. His name has been
linked with some of the most famous cases
of late years, notably the Impeachment
trial. the Geneva arbitration, the Electoral
contention and the Beecher-Tiltou cause.
With regard to distinction achieved by
ability, he presents shining contrast with
any of the men now representing the first
two states of the Union on the floor Of the
Senate.
Mr.. Evarts' leading opponent was Mr..
Morton, who is chiefly distinguished for his
money. He has, no doubt. some other
good qualities, and even some better than
wealth but without his money he would
have been an inconspicuous figure In New
York politics; and it is very we'll that the
first state of the Union is not this time sub
ject to the reproach that has attached to
the rotten boroughs of the West, of put
ting up the senatorial place to the highest
bidder. That money has been used in the
struggle in Albany appears, and perhaps
Mr.. Evarts' supporters fought the Morton
men with the weapons of their own choice
there are signs of it. But the fact that the
richer man of less ability went to the wall.
and the poorer man Of more braius won.
raises the presumption that money did not
control the issue.
1t does not follow that Mr.. Evarts will
be more useful man in the Senate than
some one with less fluency of speech, less
skill as lawyer and lower degree Of in
tellect might have been. Nor is it certain
that his own party will find him a safe
leader, a wise counsellor or hulwark Of
defense. lie is not stalwart party man
of the Stevens-ChandlerW Wade stripe :
with such radicals he took issue. lie is
naturally conservative and constitutional
in his methods: but he is ambitious and
often bends his better judgment to partisan
service. He has the temperament Of the
advocate; and as a senator he is far more
likely to become special peader than a
tribune of the people.
Mr.. Evarts' advent into that body in
place of poor, old Lapham-lIseess aud ig-
noble-is an event of public interest that
will not be without its influence on the fu-
ture of our politics. His ambition, in our
Judgment, does not stop short Of the prcsi-
dency. He is bound to no mans fortunes
he has enough self-confdence to grasp the
leadership of party that is now leader
less and distracted {; and the public may
confidently look for very lively senator in
the little man whom New York elects.

LET Them be Held 10 n.

The directors of the Pennsylvania rail-
road have declared in a formal rcso-
luton that they viii not let their road
enter the coal combination because they do
not believe that it is for the interest Of
their stockholders or the public that they
should attempt any restriction of trade.
The directors are undoubtedly right.
We would that they had always thought SO.
And we would that they even now always
acted So; hut it is said that on The very day
when they passed this resolution they com
bined with the Baltimore X Ohio railroad
for a restriction Of the bituminous coal
trade. And it is notorious that the policy
Of the road in the past has been the oppo.
site Of that declared in the resolution.
Nevertheless this policy has now been
declared and it is for the state legislature
to see that the company is taken at its word
and held mp to it. 1t is undoubtedly the
policy for the people. Let the legislature
declare it and hand in hand with its most
powerful creature, the Pennsylvania rail-
road, enforce it and let it not permit the
hand to be unlocked from its clasp.
