New-York tribune., 1888-04-19

Alderman Mooney is o public benefactor. He
has enriched the language with new comDna-
ton monkey -sl1ullpng.' But what does 1t
mean?
The Independents are not concerned with the
results of the Louisiana election, and deprecate
discussion respecting the suppression Of thousands
of Republican votes by the infamous methods IN
vogue in tho South. We have Mr. Lowells word
for 1t that they are working for the emancipation
of the respectable white man Black voters
have no rights which they are inclined to recog-
nize The systematic invasion Of the political
rights Of the colored race in the South is condoned
by them as o necessary evil that Is not to DO
mentioned in reputable politics. The pioneer
Abolitionsts whom Mr.. Lowell condescended TO
call the Mugwumps Of their day, were not equally
fastidious In drawing the color line.
II Mr. Phelps should be appointed Chief Justice,
It will give the President the chance TO send as
Minister to England tho Hon Pat Collins Of
Massachusetts,.
The ub-Committee of the Kings County Re-
publican COMMITTEES has withdrawn It's opposi-
ton to Mayor Chapin's local Improvement bills
and decided to advise the Legislature to pass
them. Its course In opposing them did not ap-
pear wise or reasonable, and we are glad to SEQ
this decisive evidence Of high regard for the
public interest Improvements Of the character
of those contemplated by these measures are too
important to be mixed up with partisan considera-
lions. The desirable result in this case was
reached after o consultation with Mayor Chaplin,
who seems to have convinced tho Republican rep
resentatives Of the wisdom of the course proposed
by him. This fact of itself is an encouraging sign.

" Thou sayest an undisputed thing in such o
solemn way
OF course, Of course. The Rochester Union
has suffered large quantity Of keen pain of late
years, owing to the failure of Republican Legis-
latures to submit Prohibition amendment to the
people Now, however, that the Legislature Of
1883 has atoned for the failure of its predecessors
The Union instead of indulging In expressions
Of delight actually sneers at the good work which
the Republican majority has performed. 1t Is
thus that fine old Democratic organ keeps itself
solid with the rum power Of Monroe County.
"The London Times publishes an interesting
account Of fresh excavations at the Temple of
coveries that have been made relate to the mys-
terious period Of the Hylssos invasion. Some Of
the statues and cartouohes that have been un,
earthed belong unmistakably to the Shepherd
dynasty One Of them Is q csrtouoho of Arepi
and another is hfe-size figure of very beautiful
workmanship. with two columns of hnely.cut
hieroglyphs, which Arabic scholars In Egypt are
convinced represents Joseph's Pharaoh. A private
letter received In Boston from Miss Edwards states
that the evidences for this Identification are now
well authenticated. and practically accepted at
the British Museum. II Naville can find some
personal memorial Of Joseph. the Hypsos Prime
Minister or some record Of the seven years Of
famine. he will have no further difficulty In en-
listing financial support for his explorations from
the Christian world.
