EGYPT LOOKING UP.

EG GYPT LOOA1NG UF.
1t is cheering in this time of financial
uncertainty to know that Egypt is all right
financially. And even the Argentine Re-
public may take heart when it considers
out of what a hole Egypt has been pulled.
In 1883 insolvency was imminentin Egypt.
Now financial equilibrium has been &C.
cured, the surplus of revenue over e1-
penses for 1890 having been over s8OO, 900,
while the reserve fund amounts to s1 ,745,-
O0O While a few direct taxes have been
abolished, owing chiefly to the opposition
of the French, the condition of the fell
laheen has greatly improved. They are no
longer subjected to the slavery of the
corvee, that system "of forced, unpaid and
unfed labor by which the irrigation works
of the country were maintained" Theuse
of the kourbash has been prohibited, and
with the lash has passed away "a whole
system of brutality and physical intimida-
tion." There has been a distinct diminu-
ton of administrative corruption, the en-
emy Of all genuine progress in a country
whore hitherto bribes were unblushingly
e1acted by every official, high or low. A
reform of tho judicial system has been in
stituted in spite of the determined opposi-
ton of many Egyptians of the highest
rank, which promises to be far-reaching in
it's beneficial effects.
The English can do pretty well for them
selves and incidentally for other people
when they try to. 1t is a good thing for
Egypt that she got so deeply into debt to
England.

A NEW VIEW OF WAR.

a NE" VIEW OF war;
It has been easy to think and to say that
the great improvement in weapons of war
which has been made during the last ten
years would mako wars shorter. But
Archibald Forbes, who, knows something
about war, directly opposes this notion.
HIS shows that, under various military
leaders of two o. three generations ago,
successful army movements were made
with very much moro expedition than at
the present time, although the odds to be
encountered were quite as great, and in
certain instances greater than those that
have confronted the successful generals in
recent wars. The so-called brief war be-
tween Prussia and Austria is brief only
by comparison with subsequent wars,
for, if guaged by experiences in
the early part of the century,
it does not appear extraordinarily
short in its duration, or in the great events
that were crowded into it. 1t used to be
remarked, he said, that the magazine rifle,
the machine gun, the artillery of tremen-
dous penetration and range, the strageti-
eally constructed railroads, the field tele-
graph, and the modern methods of mobi
lization, would tend greatly to reduce the
term of warlike operations, and, beside
this, the expense of carrying on a modern
war Is 80 great that this, it was thought,
would of itself tend to bring matters
quickly to a crisis. But these anticipa
fiona do mt aaano tn hayA heen realizad
and, in his opinion, are not destined te
and their realization in the future. Wha
modern invention has done has been t.
tremendously strengthen those who are
| forced to carry on a decisive campaign.
This appears to be reasonable view
1t is certain that an army equipped with
modern weapons and occupying any strong
position could not easily or quickly be
| driven out.

Arc Women CruoIl

From the Boston Home Journal
A woman is not usually supposed to be
cruel. Still facts are against the assump.
tion that she is not. Her thumb was sure
to be down when the gladiator looked up
to the tiers of the coliseum for the verdict
of the people; her shout was always fierce
when the matador and the bull plowed on
the earth together.
1t is more sentimental to speak of her
as "gentle," but, enduring in pain, won
derfully restrained to trouble, it is wo-
man and not man who shows the lasting
power after all. History has proved her
pitiless, has proved her the originator of
many crimes at which men would shrink,
and as able to look on at sights at which
the stronger sex would cringe; still it has
been said of man that he is selfsh and
hard, and the verdict must stand.
The case which brought this to mind
was of q man who, on his deathbed, was,
in spite of the pleading of his physicians,
deprived of the soothing influences of an
opiate because his wife wished him to
have his full senses that he might recog-
nize her when he died. He had been i'll
for long time and was dying a lingering
death of terrible suffering. All hope that
he could be helped was gone. 1t was the
question of few hours, and the humane
doctors were in favor of easing these last
moments of pain. His wife refused, on
the selfish plea that he might die without
recognizing her at the last.

A w0man,s View Of It.
To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
AS near as I can guess at the meaning of
a lot of intricate sentences, Joseph Shell
don thinks the suffrage has not been ex-
tended to woman, because men have a
contempt for women. This is about as
near the truth as tho male advocates of
woman suffrage usually get.
The simple fact is that men do not have
a contempt for women. Woman suffrage
laws have failed to pass solely because the
vast majority of women feel as do. They
do not want to vote and they do not wish
to have the suffrage forced upon them.
Whenever the majority of women want to
vote, the right to do so will at once be
legally conferred by the men who honor
and respect us, and who are anxious to
enact such laws as we desire. At present,
there is not even respectable minority of
women who wish to vote. Meanwhile, ]
presume we shall have to bear, as patient
1y as we can, the annoyance of having GER
tain persons pose as our champions whom
we have not selected, and never will select,
for that duty. MATRoN.

Woman. Within nine or ten months the
women doctors will be admitted, after a
thorough training and graduation at med
ical university, to competitive e1amina-
ton for salaried places in a women's hos

5000 annually each and neither nationality
nor religion will be regarded in the choice

for the examination, it is expected, will be
universities. In such case the purpose
of the government, the naturalization of
the occupied province, will be doubly
served. The attempt to reach the women
of Bosnia through male physicians is SO old
that all hopes of it's success have been
