Congressman Springer rounded one of
his period. at an Ohio democratic mass
meeting last week with the statement that
there was large number of colored re-
publican otlice-holdcrs in the departments
at Washington, and that they would be
allowed to remain and then paused for
the applause which his manuscript ;ndi-
Gated there properly should occur Pro-
found silence was all the sound he heard

The representatives of the building
trades complained at last nights meeting
of the Central Labor Union that democrat
ic politicians were employing political
heelers As painters and skilled workmen"
at the navy yard, and they expressed the
belief that after the election these
"heelers" would be discharged. Secre-
tary Whitney should call these democratic
politicians to account. and it would be
well to be prompt and sharp about it

ton of the Consular corps. England
made a fresh step she agreed TO q
provision that
1.-THE representatives OF the Powers
shall watch over the execution Of the
clauses, and shall apprise their re-
spective Governments of all danger,
or prospect of danger, so that the
Powers may take the necessary mea-
sures."
This was almost virtually accept
ing the collective action of the Con.
snlar corps in Egypt. 1t was accept.
ing collective action, though without
STIMULATING for it. An agreement was
perhaps on the point Of being come
to, despite the attempt TO give an
official character to the Consular
supervision, when either the Au strian
or Russian delegate proposed TO add
that Egypt could not proceed to the
defence OF the Canal in case of dan
ger except son the notification OF the
Commission of Supervision" The
majority adopted this ; but it was
clearly the wiping out OF paragraph
6-thnt is 10 say, OF the very basis OF
the discussion. 1t was the virtual
suppression OF The territorial Power.
II was The undeniable establishments
international supervision and control.
1t was an indirect way of diSpossSes.
ing the Egyptian Government in tn"
interest OF the collective Gov rn-
mpnts.
1t was on this ground that the
English stood out; and they were
accused of stiffness. But was it not
borne in mind that this treaty con-
tanned nothing which could give
satisfaction to England, and that the
adoption Of this inSinuating clause
would be an open abandonment ct
the territorial Government, aud a de-.
parture froM the commission given to
the English delegates on the basis OF
the circular Of Janury 3, 1888. If
this claim be persisted in, it is 10 be
hoped that The English Government
will put an end TO the dangerous
discussion, for il is not the explicit
concessions which are dangerous.

The Suez Canal Commission.

Freycinet before the Committee on
the Egyptian Convention, there is
reason to fear that the labours of The
Suez Canal Commission will suffer
the same fate as befell those Of the
London Conference last summer and
will have no result. In any case, as
remarked by The Russian representa-
tive this evening, "rhe sitting Of to-
day, which should have been concIu-
sive, has proved that there is a long
way between the cup and the lip"
for the delegates separated without
being able to come to m agreement
and without knowing whether il was
possible to DO so.
Some members of the Commission,
| am told, blame the English Com
missioners for showing too much stiff
ness and refusing concessions. This
repr0ach is certainly %unfounded, and
the English delegates would beIray
their trust if they made The cOnces-
sion asked of them. such, at least,
is the opinion which [ have heard
expressed to-day by.a highly compe-
tent and, is a foreigner, disinterested
judge. The difficulty consists in the
mode of enforcing the new treaty.
The English Delegates take their
stand on paragraph 6 of Lord Gran
%yille's circular Of january 3, 1888,
which says:-
Egypt should take all measures
wIthln her power to enforce the con,
ditionS imposed on the transit Of bel
ligerent vessels through the Canal in
time of war"
The French scheme substituted for
this an article which intruSted IA SUI
perintending control over the Fxrcu-
ton of the regulations, over the tran
sit of the ships, and over the Canal
police to a permanent Commission,
drIiberating both in time of peace and
in fine OF war. Taking no heed OF
the formal Indication OF Lord Gran
vile, who inlruSted HE sup"rinton-
drncr of The execution of tie treaty
TO The territorial Government, it sub
StItuted this permanent Commission,
and created, as | have already SAID,
an jmperiMm IN jnperi0. The Eng
liSh delegates, standing on paragraph
6, proposed an article conceived in
nearly The following termS:-
"The territorial Egyptian Govern
ment shall he charged with seeing t"
the strict execution of the fore DING
articles"
The other delegates remarked that
Egypt had neither The ability nor the
promptitude to Su%perintend the exc
cuti0n of the clauses. England made
a FIST concession. She consented to
the Egyptian Government making in
this case an appeal, frat 70 Turkey
and then to the other Powers. 1t
was inIernationalizing the sanction.
This was u good deal-pcrhaps TOO
much. TIE majority OF The Commits
sion held, however, to the interview.

ALARMING f.!


Yesterdays Gazette remarks: "Sil-
yer is at a discount already. Twenty
one silver dollars are being given for
twenty dollar gold pieces" This is
simply dreadful. To be sure the fact
that for the last fifteen years the
American $50 gold-piece has always
been at premium here amongst
those who hoard up gold robs this
statement of the particular force it
might otherwise have, but still the
logical inference the Gazette writer
wished to convey remains. Our sill
yer is ALREADY at discount.
We may intensity the gloom that
will inevitably hang over our bust
ness community upon reading the
paragraph we have quoted, when we
announce that the Discount" on our
silver is one per cent on drafts on San
Francisco, but we must do it. 1t will
never do for US to acknowledge that
the Gazette is the only fair, candid,
unbiased journalistic Brutus in the
State. Perish the thought!

"hostile to the interests of the people
of the United States" A New York
paper says, that "Only about one
tenth of the membership of the body
was present and voted; if, however,
their vote represents the general
commercial feeling of the city, it is
a sharp blow to the treaty Secre-
tary Frelinghuysen evidently so re-
CARDS it, for he has written letter
to the Chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, which
is really a reply to the objections on
which the action of the Chamber of
Commerce was founded. It seems to
be conceded that the first year the
United States will have to surrender
$25, 600, 900 Of revenue in sugar duties,
and receive not more than 5000, 600
In return in the reduction of Cuban.
duties on imports. Mr.. Frelinghuy-
sen says that this treaty is only one
of series of reciprocal treaties,
which, when completed, will, on the
one hand, enlarge the markets for
American home manufactures, and,
on the other, reduce the price of
sugar, one Of the great necessaries.
Apparently the country is inclined
to wait until itcan see what will be
the net result Of these treaties before
making haste to ratify one of them.
The discussion has already elected
proposition to modify the Cuban
Treaty so as to exclude refined
sugars"
Now it seems to us, that a very
simple modification of the Spanish
Treaty will lessen the opposition to
it, on the part of the Pefineries. 1t is
this: to reduce the grade of sugar to
be admitted free under the treaty,
from No. 16 to No. 10 Dutch stand
ard. This change will admit only
dark sugars required for refinery pur-
poses, and thus secure to American
capital continuance of the refining
interest as now carried on.

After this presents of yams, pigs,

perhaps few articles peculiar to the
bush people; as, for instance, their

made by selecting the stem of large
bamboo, sometimes three inches in
diameter, and punching out the sup
tum between two or three joints,
leaving the bottom one intact, so that

But if the white men did not find
