DEATH OF THE kHEDiVE.

Complications Likely to Arise Over the
Egyptian Question, which May be En-
tirely Reopened by Tewfik Pasha's
Death.
PARIS, Jan. S.-The death of the
Khedive of Egypt has created an cnor-
nous sensation throughout France and
particularly in this city. 1t is believed
that France will take this opportunity
OF re-opening the whole Egyptian
question. and that she will insist upon
the appointment of a regency with a
French representation in such regency.
England, it is thought, will probably
insist that Prince Abbas, the eldest son
of the late khcdive, is old enough to
reign; or, should England not take that
course, it is inferred that she will
advocate the appointment of a council
or regency with Sir Evelyn Barring, the
British agent, consul general and min
lister plenipotentiary in Egypt. as the
presiding officer of such body. 1t is
generally admitted, even here, that at
this stage of the eastern question the
influence the late Sir William White,
the last British ambassador to the
porte, had with the sultan, would have
been invaluable. In any case, the sit
uation in the Mediterranean, in
Morocco and in Egypt is n dangerous
one and will need great care and fine
Diplomacy to avert clash of arms.

day night. TO Il reporter ne said:
My fathers illness is very slight,
and there is nothing dangerous in it
whatever. AT noon-time / was sur
prised to find that my father had come
home. He had shortly before been
seized with slight sickness of the
stomach while attending to his official
duties at the state department. The
sickness w as caused by something that
he had eaten and only lasted a few
minutes, and in a short time he was
feeling all right. He was able to take
light lunch.
II am surprised to see that so great
a Juror has been raised in the news
papers over what was so little. 1t was
nothing more than a slight attack of
Indigestion. My father has not been
able to take much exercise because of
the bad weather that we have been
having lately. 1t was due to this lack
of exercise that this little indisposition
my father told me that he was feeling
very well-as well as if nothing had
ever happened."

A PACK OF SW;NDLERS,

another st. Louis Mushroom Commission
Firm Docs Up Its Patrops-A Lesson to
Consignor's to DO Business Only with
Reputable Concerns, and Not Bite ut
Susar-Coated Bats.
ST. LOUIS. Jan S.-The firm of T.
Ellsworth Turner & Co. of 127 Mar
izet street is now closed down, and the
members thereof have disappeared.
The concern was new on the street and
did good business, but it was noticed
that it turned over all consignments of
produce for which cash payment was
demanded to older firms, while they
received consignments on commission,
sold them and pocketed the proceeds.
1t is supposed that the firm made
about $4,000 by its rascally methods
during the two months it was in exist
ence. The country was flooded with
circulars offering prices for butter,
eggs and cheese away above the mar
ket. and they received a great deal of
produce on the strength of these repre-
sensations.
The companv's office hes been seized
to satisfy claim of $500 held by j. j.
Miller. He found safe and three bar
rels of old junk. The butter appar-
emily had melted away. or had been
shipped to Chicago. Other creditors
appeared, but found nothing. Mr.. D.
P. Mccarthy, secretary Of the Mercan-
tile and Manufacturing Co., which oc-
cupies the floor above Il. Ellsworth
Turner & Co., said that Turner left last
Friday or Saturday night for Chicago,
leaving the door of the store unlocked
and requesting Mccarthy to look in oc-
casionally to prevent anyone from car
rying away the safe. Martin had gone
to Chicago about three weeks ago to
look after some butter shipped there.
Mccarthy said he never suspected there
was anything wrong with the firm until
Mourning country creditors will prob.
ably be heard from later.

tended that each member represon
ted constituency-th he was sup
posed to vote their wishes, and
they should have the privilege of
knowing whether they represented
them or misrepresented them. Fully
an hour wass pent in debateon this
question. The vote stood ~ ip favor
of the viva voce vote to IA for secret
ballot. 1t was thus evident that some
Sherman men wanted a secret ballot
and some excitement followed the vote.
Senator Nichols presented the name
of Senator Sherman in an eloquent
speech, dwelling upon his record as Il
financier. Representative Griffin pre-
scented the name of ex-Gov Foraker,
expatiating upon his soldier record.
Numerous seconding speeches to bosh
these nominations were made.
Representative Welsh, in what must
have been his maiden speech. presented
Maj. McKinley's name, but it was soon
afterward withdrawn by telegram
from Maj. Mckinley. This did not de-
ter Welsh, however, from voting for
his candidate.
Representative Dicks presented the
name of Charles Foster.
AS the ballot proceeded, there was
no demonstration except that when
Porter, of Cleveland, doubtful man,
voted for Foraker, the Foraker men
shouted, and when Pudney, of Cleve-
land, another doubtful man, voted for
Sherman, the Sherman men raised a
whoop. The first ballot resulted:
Sherman, 81; Foraker, IS; Foster, 1;
Mckinley, 1. Necessary to Il choice, Al.
After the vote was announced. both
Sherman and Foraker were brought to
the hall. Senator Sherman spoke first,
and after thanking the members of the
caucus, complimented Mr. Foraker
upon his fight, saying it was the hard
est fight he had ever entered and he
hoped he would never have him for an
opponent again.
Ex-Gov. Foraker spoke in good-na-
tured way. saying he did not foresee
when he entered the tight that when q

did not want to see the land OF New
Zealand monopolized by large capital
lists and companies out of New Zealand.
He wanted to see it in the hands OF
resident occupiers under conditions
which would prevent the accumulation
of large estates. Another effect OF the
tax, he believed, was that some owners
of already existing large estates had
made up their minds to break up those
estates If that were so, then this tax,
which was not put on primarily for tho
purpose of bursting up, would have the
beneficial effect of causing subdivis-
ion of the large estates If the tax was
imposed on the broad grounds of jus
tice-that the men and companies who
held these estates did not contribute
their fair proportion TO the revenues OF
the colony-then he had no doubt that
the secondary result would be prac-
tically the recolonization and densely
popu1ating large areas which were now
only carrying sheep; for the owners OF
the properties must either highly i'm
prove their properties in order to mako
them remunerative. or sell them. The
cry that the taxation imposed by the
and drive capital from it he regarded rs
mere moonshine, It could not drive
away the big estates. The land would
remain. but there would be more peo-
pie upon the land, and that would be a
good thing for the country. The crown
land remaining, which could be settled
upon were limited in quantity, and if
New Zealand was to become a prosper
Gus and great country there must be
close settlement For the first time the
government of the colony, supported by
the great liberal party, has been en-
abled to put into operation a policy in
the interests of the people in respect of
the land. Hence these tears"

The right way is proved one.

The Only Remedy.

The New York Times publishes edi.
torially discriminating criticism of
the speeches at the Episcopal church
congress, in which it shows that the
only tangible proposition for social re-
form made by any of the speakers was
that of the single tax as advocated by
Henry George. In Christian socialism as
expounded by dilletante pulpiteers it
sees what most thoughtful men have
already seen, vague generalities about
competition and cooperation, harmless
at best, and harmful when calculated
to arouse envy of the rich and enmity
against them If this kind of talk
means any thing at all, observes the
Times, 1T means that the wealthy
ought to be punished for living in pleas
ant places" In conclusion it adds. re-
ferring to Christian socialists: when
they denounce the existing social sys-
tenn, and the men who are successful
under it, and either expressly Or by inn
plication hold these men up to odium,
they are doing what is worse than silly,
because they are aggravating the evils
they deplore without suggesting any
remedies for them, and the trend of
their remarks is to provoke a breach of
the peace.
A marked difference between the
nambJ-pamby socialism, of which there
is so much in college chairs and church
pulpits, and the single tax is here indi-
Gated. We do not denounce men be-
cause they are successful; we hold no
man up to odium because he is rich, un-
less he has acquired his wealth by per-
sonal dishonesty; and though we depict
the evils of our existing social system,
for they exist and are most deplorable.
we trace their origix to the violation of
a fundamental natuc~l law, and offer
for remedy the discoRtsauance of the
wrong. No individual is responsible
for this condition. No individual can
cure it, If any rich man should dis
tribute his wealth, and pinch himself
and his family, he could not diminish
human suffering except in few indi-
vidual cases. The responsibility is up.
on all men. By laws that restrict OPP
portunities for production. wealth is
diverted from it's producers to those
duction. These opportunities, in tho
last analysis, are natural opportunities
land; and, any thing short of a re-
"OVal OF Ine monopoly IN lana Is NOT
only no remedy for the condition, it is
an intensifcation. It is not merely
silly, it is injurious
The only reform worth working for
is one that has for its object the adapt
alton of fundamental rights to chang
ing social conditions in such manner as
to preserve that equilibrium of the
scales of justice which is sure to follow
the due observance of natural laws.
This the single tax does. It exempts
the worker from all public burdens up
ON his products; it opens to common ac-
cess all those natural opportunities that
are as yet so far unused as to leave
enough of equal desira bility for all;
and it takes for public purposes the
premium that attaches to the more de-
SRA BILE opportunities.
The Times is right in saying of the
Church congress discussion that 'the
only tangible proposition made by any
of the speakers was for the enactment

The Primitive State Of Land.

M. NJ. Trumbull in Open Court
Speaking of land ownership, Mr.
Spencer says:
THE landless have not an equita bic
claim to the land in it's present state
cleared, drained, fenced, fertilized and
furnished with farm buildings, etc
only to the land in its primitive state;
this only is which belongs to
the community"
The latter part OF this doctrine was
greatly overstrained by the pressure Of
fifteen thousand men at Oklahoma on
the ED of Septem ber At sunrise on that
day million acres of land Gin its prim-
tive state belonged to the community
known as the United States; at sunset
it had been broken into Ave thousand
separate lots. each under individual
ownership, the United States having
surrendered its communal interest at
noon. A piece of land larger than
Derhyshire was communal in the
morning. but individual at night, while
it's primitive character remained I'M
changed. The man who can read his
title clear to quarter section of that
land may cultivate it, or he may let it
remain in its ''primitive state" and in
either case it will not belong to the
community. What is the primitive
state" of land? And, speaking of land
ownership, does Mr.. Spencer mean by
the community" the state at large,
or the people as individuals, the right OF
ownership in primitive land being in
the first one who chooses to occupy it?
And if three men seize it at the same
time. shall one of them have it, or shall
it be divided equally among them all?
At Oklahoma Ave thousand men got
one hundred and sixty acres each. and
ten thousand men got none. Should
not the territory have been divided into
smaller lots, 80 that each claimant
might have had IN equal shaxe7
