THE WEST WENT EAST.

The corpulent and improper person known
as Ismail, ex-Khedive of Egypt, is having
some novel experiences with his harem. He
was foolish enough some time ago to import
into his seraglio a young woman whose
acquaintance he had made in London. She
received the title of Princess, and ruled
Ismail and all his possessions with firm
hand until few days ago, when 1smail
rebelled. There is pretty squabble in
progress now as a result, between the cockney
princess, Ismail, the English ambassador
and the Sultan of Turkey. No doubt Ismail
wishes that he had remained true to his
Circassians and other Eastern houris. The
bowsiring, the sack and the Bosphorus are
still regarded as sovereign remedies for in
subordination in the hsrem. but it is clear
that the Princess from the West defed such
treatment.
Again it has been shown that westward
the star of empire takes its way" IT he
were noe so old Ismail might still go West
and grow up with the country. The expe'
rience of having the West come to him and
grow up over him is evidently not pleasing
to the gentleman who once tried to make
Alexandria a close copy of Paris. The
wichedness and foolishness of the ex-khe'
dive are of the texture of the whole Eastern
question, the bugbear of European states
men. One of the wonders of the nineteenth
century will always be this spectacle OF civ
ilization bolstering up rotten and pagan
empire in order to delay the inevitable
scramble for the fragments.

tude of Messrs. Breckinridge, Crisp, Bland
and Springer in their opposition to the Re-
publican tactics, do not appear to justify
such ROSY hopes of peace and a return to
business in the House. We trust that the
Democrats will seek peace and ensue it.
As THE DISPATCH has already stated,
neither party in Congress is in the right
The Republicans have smashed precedents
to smithereens in their effort to postpone the
adopt of rules to govern the House until
legislation of an Enthusiastically partisan
character has been debated. The Demo-
Gratis are SHINING against common sense in
refusing to accept Speaker Reeds decision
is idle to suppose that the constituents
of a representative expect him to
sit in his seat in the House and declare
simultaneously that be is not there. The
excuse of the filibustering Democrats is, of
course, that they are fighting tyrannical
majority, and that any weapon is legitimate
in such a cause. But their position is con-
trary to the best theory and practice Of
popular government
The wish OF the people is that Congress
should get to work as speedily as possible.
The responsibility of delaying this desir-
able event will be heavy. Neither party
can afford to incur it. Besides, the country
has a sense of fair play to which the Demo-
Gratis, in case of serious interference with
their rights as minority, can appeal with
confidence.

A GREAT OPTION MISSED.

There is something almost appalling in
the thought that but for a beggarly act of
Assembly or two this State might have had
in 1892 the option of buying the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad at fair price. But as our
readers may discover for themselves in an
other column, such an option would have
been at the command of the people Of this
State if the Act for the commutation of
tonnage duties" had not been passed in the
year 1861.
The story which lies behind this state
ment cannot be easily ridded of a mass of
legal technicalities in which railroad legis-
lation especially abounds. The promi-
nent facts are these: When the Penn
svlvania Railroad bought the public
works from the State in 1876, it
agreed to give the State the right to buy the
railroad ct the end of twenty years, and if
the State were unwilling to buy then, to re-
new the option at the end of every twenty
years for all time. OF course the conditions
of this option would have made the pur-
chase of the railroad at any time by the
State tremendously expensive operation.
But in 1861 the State agreed to cancel its
right of purchase if certain sum were paid
annually by the railroad into the State
Treasury. This sum has always been paid
duly, and the last payment will be made in
July of this year. If it be not paid, it is,
we think, slightly doubtful that the Legis-
lature would agree to send the State into
bankruptcy in order to take up the Penn
sylvania's generous offer.
Our friends the Socialists, however, can
picture to themselves the immense benefits
that would accrue to Pennsylvanians If they
all had annual passes on the best railroad
in the world This slice of history also
shows us how little our forefathers dreamed
of the immense proportions that the rail-
roads were destined to assume. And, il
must in justice be added, it shows how
greatly the Pennsylvania Railroad has
prospered under good management through
half century. Altogether, though we are
denied the pleasure of buying the big rail
road, the facts in the case are we'll worth
knowing.

A CURIOUS FAILURE.

If the disappearance of a couple of
million dollars were not a serious matter,
the condition of the Spaulding Iron Com
pany's affairs, as revealed by the assignment
of the firm yesterday, would be humorous.
The description of the processes by which
the Spaulding company established in Bril-
liant. near Steubenville, eight years ago,
has come at last into receivers hands has
been furnished by an aggrieved minority of
the company's stockholders, and must there
fore be taken with some reserve. 1t is
alleged that there is some reason to believe
that the company has failed simply because
the men at its head had not very clear con-
ception OF the ins and outs of the iron trade.
1t is most interesting to Pittsburg to
know that the failure is unlikely to involve
any other interests. 1t is local misfortune,
the blame for which cannot be placed until
an investigation of the firms aecounts-ii
any exist-has been made. Iron men here
will be curious to learn how il
ever appeared to the Messrs. Spauld.

of buying pig iron in Pittsburg,
Transforming it into muck iron in Brilliant,
O.. and selling it again in Pittsburg. The
latest news concerning the failure clearly
indicates that there is much to be told about
the company's affairs that has not yet come
to light. There are some peculiar circum.
stances about the case that render it possible
that the Spaulding Company is solvent in

A CRACKER COMBINATION.
Robert T. Lincoln is a Heavy Stockholder
in the New Concern.

CHICAGO, January 30.-A newspaper has a
report from New York to-day that number of
New York and Illinois moneyed men had
bought UP lot Of cracker factories in the
country in order to form trust.
"Now, there isn't to be any trust whatever"
said Mr., Moore this morning. MIR. Moore who
is president of the alleged combine was sitting
in his Office in the American Express building,
and the charge that the combination had been
formed as a Trust seemed to annoy him not
little. although he took the whole matter good
naturedly After repeatedly denying that
trust had been formed, Mr.. Moore explained
the object of the ASSOCIATION.
You see," said the new President OF the
Cracker Association, "we have banded together
into one company in order tharwe may cheaper
production and sell our goods at lower prices,
making fair profit, while beneht1ng the pub
lie We certainly don't intend to attempt to
raise prices, because that would be impossible
We have only got half dozen or SO OF the
largest firms into the association, and are Still
subject to the keenest competition from all the
other cracker concerns of the country"
Mr. Moore further said that the association
intended to establish cracker factory in Chi
cago which would probably be one of the iarg-
est in the country. Plans, however, have not
been fully matured. and Mr.. Moore couldn't {
saw when the plant would be erected. The
companies in the combination are Z; j, LARA a.
bee & Co., of Albany; Van Dener Holmes, OF
New York; Brinkenhoff & Co., John D. Gilmor
x Co, Auger Bros, Hatfield Quicker and
Daniel Calty & Co., of Brooklyn. and W. Il. II
tus. of Newark, n. J. No Chicago companies
have been bought up. Robert I. Lincoln. Min

A PATENT ON TUNNELS.
The New Method for the Construction of
Them Under Rivers.

DETROIT January 30-Messrs. Michael j.
Griffin an experienced railroad contractor and
George A Dupuis, an extensive dredging con-
tractor, have just secured patent for new
method of constructing tunnels under river
beds with only soft soil, which, 1t is claimed by
them. can be built from 90 to so per cent
cheaper than an iron tunnel such as is now 60
ing on under the ST. Clair river at Port Huron,
and is at the same time stronger. The material
will be brick and 12.inch timber, the timber
forming framework or caisson, and the brick
the arched interior. The caisson for single
track tunnel will be built in oblong sections,
about 800 feet long and 2Ox2l feet inside meas
urement. The sides are to be built Of % pieces
of l2xl2 inch Norway pine timber, including
corners and the top or roof, and the bottom OF
% pieces of the same size, the timbers to be OF
various lengths. so as to break joints, and to De
edge-bolted with screw and drift bolts. Square
trusses made of the same sized timber used In
the caisson will be framed into the latter, with
the corners projecting at the top and side. the

A MESSENGER BOY OUT OF A JOB.
He Caused a Social Tumult by Throwing

He Caused a Social Tumult by Throwing
Away a Lot of Invitations.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.I
BOSTON, January 30.-EVer since Commodore
Yields swell reception in his SlO0, 900 barn, in
Brookline last week, there has been certain
amount of GOODNESS in the social atmosphere OF
the Back Bay, because certain leading fami-
lies were not invited. Of course, the non-ap-
pearance of the dainty invitations was looked
upon as snub, and Mrs Weld has suffered in
consequence. But it was not Mrs. Weld's
fault The blame lies with one of the youth
full, and always alert and ambitious telegraph
messenger boys.
A few days before the reception lady friend
of Mrs. Weld, who knew that the latter had en-
gagged a messenger boy that morning to de-
liver large number of the invitations on the
Back Bay happened to see large number OF
what appeared to be letters in the Charles
river. The lady was driving through Beacon
street at the time. After the reception she
heard that some had not received their invita-
tons, and inquiry, developed the fact that
the messenger boy, becoming tired and cold,
threw the letters into the Charles river, not
realizing how much mental suffering would re-
suit from his action. The messenger boy is
now seeking another job.
