 The British Forces Meet And Defeat
 Aa Overwhelming Force of
 Rebels.
 CAIRO, Jan. 21.-Report comes from Korf that General Stewards column, composed of fifteen thousand men and six Screw guns, has met and defeated a large force of rebels at Mesefnneh
 LONDON, Jan. 2i.-Irquiry at the WAT of fee in regard to the despatch announcing the victory of General Stewart over the rebels at Metemneh failed to elicit anything definite The offcinls are very fetitent and refuse to either echfrm or deny the press despatch. It is generally believed, however, that the government have received important de- spatches from Egypt during the past twelve hours and that some severe fighting has taken place between the British forces and the rebels.
 Eight H4uhdrd Dead On the Field-A
 Desperate Hand To Hand Struggle.
 CAIRO, Jan. 21.-The report of 8 victori- ous encounter with the rebels by General Lord Wols eley is confirmed The battle took place tW enty-three miles north of Met enoneh. The English troops were greatly outnumbered but fought with admirable discipline, keeping up 8 deadly fire on the enemy. The rebels also fought bravely and st one time succeeded in breaking the En- glish guard on one side of the hollow square in which the troops were advancing. They failed to retain their advantage, however, being quickly driven back. At no time dur ing the engagement was there even a momen- tary cessation of the English fire, the troops seeming to be as cool and deliberate as if on parade. The rebels on retiring left on the field eight hundred dead and about two thousAna wounded, out of a force estimated es ten thousand men. The English loss was slxty-five killed, among whom was Colonel Fred Burnaby, author of "The ride to khiva," " and eighty-fve wounded, including Lords St. Vincent and Airtie and six other oH'r.ers.
 The enemy had thrown up quite exten- siye works on General Stewards right flank during the night preceding the battle. These the British captured by move ment on the rebel left. After the battle the British took their own and the Arab wounded to the wells of Shebacas. As described by an eye witness tEe battle toward the last became desperate hand to- hand encounter mostly with shortened swords and bayonets Colonel Burnaby was killed by a spear thrust which severed the Jugular vein. General Stewards horse was shot and in falling carried the general down, but he quickly extricated himself and mounting another horse again led the attack. The English were without supply of water or food turing the entire fight.

CHEAP LABOR.

Connecticut has established labor
bureau. The chief of this bureau is Mr..
Arthur 7. Hadley. He has issued re-
port, in which he reviews the question of
foreign cheap labor. As was to be ex-
pected, this report says that foreign cheap
labor should not be employed. and cites
the Chinese as an example But this is not
all. Chief Hadley says that the French
Canadians have standard of living
which it would be a misfortune to Ameri-
can workmen to adopt. What this
standard is we know not, but the French
Canadians are a strong, healthy and
hardy race, and their standard of living
cannot be greatly inferior toproduce such
race. Their standard of living nc doubt
teaches them frugality, and frugality is
the thing which the majority of working
men need above all things. Frugality
means thrift, and thrift is the great de-
sideratum of the laboring classes. Chief
Hadley says that if Italian immigration
to Connecticut increases for the next five
years as it has in the past five years,
very perplexing social problem will re-
suit. Connecticut can scarcely bring
against the French Canadians and the
Italians the same charges that are
brought against the Chinese on the Coast.
1t is but a year or two since the Hum
garians who went to Pennsylvania were
set upon and mobbed by the miners of
that State, and against these poor Hun
garians the charge was brought that their
standard of living was SO low that their
very presence was menace to American
workmen. When anything does not suit
a certain class they sound the dema-
gogue cry about protecting the
American laborer. America has been
the home of inventive genius,
and this genius has produced its wonder
ful results because labor in America was
scarce and dear, and labor-saving ma
chinery has been brought to its present
perfection because the supply of laboring
men was insufficient. The American
workman deserves every encouragement,
but what he needs most of all is to school
himself in the ways of domestic economy
and to frequent the grog shop less. Ex-
and grog are the great ene-
mics of the American workman. and the
sharp competition to which he finds him
self subjected by foreign labor will be
found to greatly diminish if he abandons
the ways of extravaganza and vicious
pleasure.

A FRIEND OF SILVER.

A week or so ago number of "bank-
ers, merchants and others" decided tc
boycott the DEMOCRAT on account of some
comments on that part of the Presidents
message relating to the silver question.
A gentleman of this city has received
from an Illinois banker letter on the
matter, from which we are permitted to
make the following extract:
1t is inconceivable to me how any one who
has long been in such broad-guage bust
ness as banking should undertake to 'boy-
cott'' anybody; and still more so that they
should be willing to publish to all the world
that they have done so. I am very good
friend of silver myself, but you will never
see my name attached to any such document
as the one you sent me.

THE PUNISHMENT AND THE CRIME

There is genuine sense of progress
and fitness of things in the Mikado's de-
termination to "make the punishment fit
the crime" To make the punishment
exactly fit the crime is a very delicate
operation and requires much experience.
Captain John Goldman, gentleman we'll
known in Utah, is of the opinion that the
crime of unlawful cohabitation and the
punishment therefor do not fit, at least
so reporter in the Boston Traveller says.
He says that the punishment for unlaw-
full cohabitation should be increased. He
rightly thinks that the crown OF martyr
dom is too cheap at six months, and says
that the punishment for unlawful cohabi-
tation should be increased to five
years. Increase the punishment to
five years imprisonment with hard
labor and those who are convicted
will think twice before they choose "mar-
tyrdom" in preference to obedience to the
laws. The reasons for choosing martyr
dom" are not an over anxiety to be con-
sistent and to adhere to religion, but are
chiefly the fear of social ostracism and the
jeers and sneers of co-religionists. This is
not so with some, but we believe it to be the
case with the majority. Ii the price Of
'emartyrdom" was raised from six months
to five years, perhaps the power of social
ostracism and of jeers and sneers would
be greatly lessened. The men who go to
Jail in preference to obeying the law make
choice between two fears, and the fear
that the finger OF scorn will be pointed at
them in the community in which they
dwell is greater than the fear of prison
walls for a few months. The Government
should follow the Mikado's advice, and
make the punishment fit the crime.
Another thing that should be done is
to provide prison in which every pris-
oner would be confined in cell by him
self. These cells should be light and
airy, and during a portion of the day the
sun should shine into each of them.
But the silent system should be pre-
served. The Utah Penitentiary is dis
grace to the Government and an outrage
upon humanity. Perhaps Utah will have
a decent place in which to confine Grim
inals when the reign of peace for thous-
and years shall be ushered in, but we
doubt if it has one before. Society owes
ers against it in decent place, as it does
to protect itself from their lawlessness

A WAY OUT.

Secretary Thomas has received from
Washington pardons for eight different
people under the Edmunds law. The
people who have taken the benefit OF the
amnesty clause of that Act have displayed
common sense and decent respect for
the law. These people were liable to
prosecution for unlawful cohabitation,
and had they been tried, the probabilities
are that they would have promised obedi-
ence to the law in future. How much
wiser was the way in which they extrl-
Gated themselves from the meshes of the
law Would they or their families have
been benefited in the least by an obsti-
nate defiance of the law and suffering
imprisonment? They certainly would
not. Ii man could purchase
perpetual immunity from punishment
for the commission of crime by going to
Jail for six months, one could understand
why men convicted of violating the law
90 to jail. But they cannot purchase
this immunity; if they could it would be
judicial sale of indulgences. There are
number of men in prison now for vio-
lating the Edmunds law, and what do
they propose to do when they come out :?
This is the important question to them.
If they continue to violate the law in
the future as they have in the past, they
can expect to be punished again. Men
do not willingly and joyously go to jail,
although some of those who have been
in jail six months for unlawful cohabita-
ton speak of their incarceration as
mission" We are of the opinion that
they are not anxious to be called on
another of the same kind; in fact one of
these same missionaries has said he
don't propose to be caught again. Just
think of calling a Emission" being
caught. Is it not in bad taste to call
mission" being caught? What will be
the line of conduct of those who don't
propose to be caught in future? Will
they cease their unlawful practices and
live within the law in future, or do they
propose to go on violating the law, and
merely make their violation of the law
more stealthy? III they are caught they
will certainly be punished again.
These people who have just received
Presidential pardons have shown their
friends and co-religionists way out of
their difficulties, and that way is open to
all who wish to tread it. Some eighty
have now chosen it, and this is encour-
aging, for these eighty will serve as
leven among those who are liable to pros
ecution, as they were. The way they
have chosen, if pursued by ali, would
soon put an end to the Utah problem.

with Mr.. Kelley" That was the actual
reason for the rejection of Mr.. Kelley,
and it may be that the Austrian Govern
ment was anxious that the representa-
tive of the American Government should
not be subjected to social sights. 1t is
to be regretted that the name OF Mrs.
Kelley should have been banded about
on two continents, but SO it is. After all,
social prejudices are far stronger in this
world than political prejudices, and that
which the majority OF mankind desire is
social equality rather than political
equality.

A SOCIAL QUESTION.

The resolution that Senator Vest intro
duced into the Senate on the 21st inst,
in relation to the Kelley case has brought
that case again prominently before the
country. The President referred to the
case in his message in a dignifed man.
ner, and to this reference, no doubt, is
owing the resolution of Senator Vest
The resolution is to the effect "that the
position assumed by this Government,
and the principles affirmed in said cor
respondence by the Secretary of State,
meet with our unqualified appreciation. F"
This was followed by paragraph citing
that portion of the Constitution which
says that no religious test shall ever be
required as a qualification for Office. The
reason for introducing this bit from the
Constitution is found in the letter of
Count Kalnoky to Secretary Bayard.
That letter contained as its last sentence
the following
The position of foreign envoy welded to
Jewess by civil marriage would be unten-
able and even impossible in Vienna.
1t was not happy pretext, and the
surprise is that an Austrian diplomat
should have used it, for Austria is of all
the governments in Europe most tenac-
ious of the old methods of diplomacy,
that diplomacy winch uses language to
conceal thought.
The matter of Mr.. Keiley's rejection
resolves itself into social question. This
is the view now taken of the matter,
and the discussion in the Senate turned
upon that point. Senator Hawley,
interupting Senator Vest, said that prob
ably the Austrian Government did not
mean that there was any legal or politi-
cal objection to Mr.. Kelley because he
had married Jewess, but merely to in
innate that socially it would be very dis
agreeable to him. The social standing of
a Minister at a foreign court is as i'm
portant as the standing of his own coun-
try among the nations. The good will of
a government to which a Minister is
accredited is chiefly shown through social
amenities, and to put a social slight upon
a Minister is to affront the government
from which he comes. Social Sights
would have been inevitable to Mr..
Kelley in Vienna. Senator Plumb also
took the view that the matter was
social question in some respects. He put
the case plainly and to the point
when he said "Mr. Kelley was appointed
to perform some social duties about the
court of Vienna, and he could not do
these unless the Austrian Emperor should
receive him at the drawing rooms" at
which the nobility and others of social
standing are received, because the people
having that standing would not associate

Features of the Bill of Gen. Bro,cn, Soon to
be Introduced.
General Brown, of Indiana, will introduce
at the earliest possible day a bill covering
the suggestions Of the republican caucus.
1t is substantially as follows.
l. 1t grants a pension to all soldiers and
sailors OF the Mexican war who served four
teen days il Mexico, or on its frontier, or
ell route to Mexico, or participated in a
battle, provided such soldier or sailor is
60 years old, or is dependent on his daily
labor or the contributions OF friends for a
living, or who, without his fault, has a dis
ability which, had it been incurred in the
service, would have been p~enishable. Per-
sons unde the disabilities imposed by the
fourteenth amendment are excluded ron
the benefits OF the act. The rate OF pension
under this section is tixed at So per month
.. 1t pensions all ~honcrably discharged
soldiers and sailors of tie United States
army who served in the war of the rebel
lion three month, who are or may become
disabled, not the result of their own gross
cnrelessness or bad conduct or vicious
habits, and who are dependent upon their
daily labor for support. The pension I'M
der this section to be rated according to
TIE degree OF disability, but in no case to
exceed S24 per month.
3. 1t increases the pension OF widows
and minor children from So to S12 per
month.
4. 1t gives the widow and minor children
OF a deceased pensioner an original pension
IN their own right without proof that the
pensioners death was the result of disease
incurred in the service.
8. 1t continues the pensions granted
minor children without limit to age when
such minorsa are of unsound mind or physi-
caily helpless.
6. In the case Of dependent parents il
provides hat it shall be sufficient proof OF
depency to show that such parent is with
out other means OF support than his orher
manual labor.
10. Where it appears hat an applicant
was regularly enlisted and mustered itshall
he presumed prima facia hat he was
sound at enlistment.
IL. Repeats the limitation of the arrear-
age act.
This is in many respects the same as that
passed by the enate at the last session,
and known as the Mexican war pension
bill with senate amendments.
