1t is to be hoped that
the Courts will find out whether or not
the defendant is really guilty before
the hanging is allowed to proceed.
1t is but few years since an inno-
cent young man was hung, in the
midst of the intelligence Of northeast
ern Ohio. He was a poor, friendless
tramp, from Canada. No, not friend
less, for his faithful lawyer stood by
him with the monumental devotion of
true representative of a noble calling.
But it did not avail. When prejudice
gains foothold it is stronger than law,
reason or justice.
1t is important that the guilty shou Id
be punished, but in matters of life
and death, and in all criminal pro-

new departure in England's Egyptian
policy may be expected before the November
elections. The improved relations between the
Foreign Office and Prince Bismarck indicate
this clearly. The Ministerial explanations of
Sir Henry Drummond VOLTS mission to Con-
stantinOple and Cairo are ambiguous, but it is
evident that important results are anticipated.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer when pressed
by the Radicals to explain the Governments
policy has recourse to generalIties, but even
these vague expressions are significant. When
he declares that the last five years have greatly
increased England's obligations toward Egypt,
he forecasts a stronger and more definite policy
as the outcome of the necessities of the case.
The Conservative leaders, after mercilessly
criticsing LII Opposition the Liberal Ministry's
dealings with Egypt and raising debate after
debate on motions of censure. are naturally re-
luctant to appeal to the country without out
lining an alternative policy. In domestic legis-
lation they have made as much progress as the
fag end of the session would permit and by in
PRODUCING the Purchase Bill and allowing the
Crimes Act to lapse they have adopted effective
means of conclliating the Irish members and
securing their aid in the general elections.
They may be confidently expected to present
some striking contrast between their own and
their rivals diplomacy for the serious con-
sderation of the constituencies. In Afghan
istan they cannot reverse Lord Granvlle's
policy without dragging England into war,
which they cannot afford to do. Egypt is tho
theatre for change Of diplomatic scene which
will naturally be selected.

matte actioni 1t will be safe to assume that it
will not involve any increase of responsibility

UHLSKEY IND TIE LATS.

The decision of Attorney General Garland in
regard to the whiskey business is certainly
praiscworthy. if its language conccals nothing.
1t is pleasure to be able TO commend Nr.
Garland, because his performances in many
apparent purport and spirit of the opinion he
has given. regarding the duty of Government
officers in the matter of whiskey exports, can
be unrcscrvcdly commended. Ii is true that
the phrascoogy is so vague and confused that
it might prompt "a suspicion that something was
concealed Thus there, might be n question
whether the recognition of the power of
officials to extend indefinitely the time for cx-
porting whiskcy did not open the door to
wholesale frauds. II is Ia be questioned
whether such discretionary power ought To be
intrustcd to any official whatever, after a
reasonable time for the performance of the
declared intention to export has elapsed. But
it will soon DE seen, by the construction which
the Administration permits subordinate officials
10 give TO tho law, whether the object is to
defeat it while publicly pretending TO enforce
il with fidelity.
II Is right that the object of the statute should
be respected. The Administration has no
business to cOnstfuc the Laws against the inten-
ton of their trainers. in order 10 serve the
interest of individuals. but the public has no
right to assume that it will be guilty of such n
wrong. The intention of Che law clearly was TO
secure the full and prompt collection of taxes
on whiskcy, and, as respects the exports, to
give n fair opportunity to those, and only to
those, who were honestly desiring to send
American products TO foreign countries for
consumption. 1t was never the intent of the
law to give any privilege or favor whatever to
those who send products abroad in order to
evade domestic taxation.
Having t.is clear purpose of the statutes in
mind, it is easy to see that there is evasion of
the law and fraudulent intent, in using the
facilities given to legitimate exporters for the
purpose OF avoiding the payment Of taxes. IL
is the duty of the Government TO construc the
law strictly, as against such palpablc fraud.
If the President does 80, he will deserve respect
and thanks. But if, by the construction which
he gives which he permits subordinatcs to
give the laws, he suffers the plain purpose OF
tho statutes to be cvadcd or distorted for the
purpose of robbing the Government, it will be
clearly understood that the political bargain
between Democratic managers and the
Whskey Ring Of the West, which prevailed in
the Ohio election two years ago, is about to be
carrie out.

have rendered their verdict against renewal
of campaigning in that country. The death OF
the Mahdi aud also of his chief licutenant'
Osman Digna, relieves the Government from
apprehension of hostile operations against
Egypt. The SOudan will be left to stew III us

Public feeling will not now tolerate any pro-
posals either for relief expedition by English
troops to Kassala or for the recapturc OF khar-
toum; and after providing for permanent
Turkish garrison at Suakim, the Government
will be enabled to dispense with military
preparations. Obviously the new policy WIZ
not relate to the Soudan, for which the English
people, now that they know something about
it, care very little. 1t will affect country
which they consider the real geographical
centre of the British Empire. 1t will strengthen
the Governments position in Lower Egypt and
open the way for English administration and u
protectorate The Liberal plan of disclaimlng
responsibility for a native Government that Is
too weak to introduce practical reforms or even
To stand alone has proved disastrous failure.
The English people will welcome change oil
policy whereby their rights as well rs obligi-
tions in Egypt may be definitely ascertained.
BY securing Prince Bismarck's good Offices and
by concating the powerful group of Con-
tinental financiers, the Government has already
indicated its readiness to abandon policy tllat
has entailed sacrifices and d faculties without
offering any promise Of stlbility.

4 MISSISSIPPI APPOINTMENT


On the 2Sth of last month William NJ. Han
cock was suspended from the Office of post
master at Meridian, Miss. On the same day one
j. J. Shannon was appointed to succeed him.
The place was not taken away from Mr.. Han
cock on charges affecting either his integrity or
his efficiency as a public servant. He was
removed because in n government Of the
people by the people through the means of
political parties he had been not a supne but
an active party man. The Administration
accused him of the high crime and INSIDE
meanor of being an offensive partisan, and 80
cut of his head.
But if the putting out of Hancock was mex
cusable, the putting in of Shannon deserves to
be characterized by a much harsher term. IL
was an unmitgatcd outrage. Shannon is one
of tho editors and proprictors of The Mercury,
n daily newspaper published at Meridian, whose
un-American, unpatr0tic character is thor
Oughly exposed in its treatment of the death of
General Grant. The following are extracts
from an editorial article in The Me, curry:

There il no occasion to characterize the use
of such language over the fallen head of the
brave, generous, modest soldier at whose bier
all Christendom is weeping. Out OF his own
mouth this new Democratic postmaster is con-
ycted of being an offensive partisan-not an
offensive partisan in the ordinary sense OF the
term, but public official who has committed n
shameless offence against public dcccncy, who
has wantonly insulted the Nation in its hour
of bitter sorrow.

GREAT BRITAIN AND TIE SILVER CUES

| British opinion in regard to the silver ques-
ton appears 10 be changing. II is true that the
decision of the Manchester Chamber of Com
| mercc, to ask a new investigation Of the sub
iect, is but n repetition of an appeal which has
been made more than once by that body. In
Manchester, and in one or two other cities con-
nection with the India trade has prompted COM
mercal bodies to press the Government
earnestly TO reconsider its position on the silver
question. and for several years past these APP
peals have been made in vain. But they seem
to have more force and more popular support
at this time than on other occasions. The times
are hard. Prices are low, and the working
people find scanty employment. influential
leaders Of financial opinion urge that the de-
cline in prices il largely due to the inadequacy
of the gold supply, and the partial dcmonetiza-
ton of silver. These opinions have had much
influence upon the minds of merchants and
working people in Great Britain.
| IL is not needul here TO review the argu-
ments for or against this belief Unhapplly
this country has placed itself in such position
| that it can no longer act freely TO induce any
other Nation to aid in the reconciliation OF
silver if that were desired. The United States
has left only the power to save itself from the
consequences of an iniudicious attempt 10 re-
store silver 10 general use, by itself, and with
out corporation with other Nations. But the
influence of the United States upon the action
of other Nations would be great, and possibly
decisive, if this country should ut once refuse
to stand any longer between the merchants and
manufacturers of Great Britain and the natnIal
consequences of tho policy of their Govern
mcnt
