A MAGTSTERIAL CRISIS.

The proceedings in the case OF Gleason vs..
All Creation took new turn yesterday, and
il now looks as if All Creation had little the
best of it. though Gleason remains untcrilieI
and majestic. Judge Bartlett has decided that
neither of the rival potentates Of Long Island
CITY is "A legal Mayor at this moment. and that
the reinS Of government belong IN the hands
of one Claven President of the Board Of Al
dcrmcn. An interesting question therefore IS ::
Who and what is Claycn? If he were u man
Of dcspotic temper and lawlcSs ambition he
might attempt to keep possession OF the rcIns
Indefinitely but it happens that he is mnlon
of Sanford and he is expected therefore to
swear in new City Clerk, who will canvass
the election returns once more. restore the
ballots which Gleason in frenzy of viituous
indignation scquestcred, and award the cor
ticatc to The candidate who had the original
majority Sanford appears to be the coming
man in Long Island City.
Eut the casual observer will do well TO re-
frain from predictions. No political novice IS
fit to interpret the existing situation. Patrick
Gleason is man Of infinite resources. lie has
announced officially that he is feeling well, and
like the war horse of the Scriptures he awaits
the onset with rapture. He has not chosen to
disclose all the details OF his plan of campaign
but has intimated that he will begin By drop
ping the President of the Board Of Aldermen
out of the window if he presumes to appear
upon the scene in the guise Of Acting Mayor
This is welcome news Such procedure would
restore an ideal which has been getting trne
furnished. Gleason has disappointed public
opinion lately by cvincing i disposition TO rely
upon the vulgar weapons of the law. II was
painful 10 hear that he had put himself in the
hands Of his legal advisers. When first he
ascertained that the unendurable Sanford had
received majority of the votes he pushed
statutes and courts contemphiously aside and
invoked the Bosom OF destruction. At that
time he was all himself, and it is delightful
and inspiring to see him resuming his original

THE sENGLISH I'm EG YPT.

English supremacy in Lower Egypt has been
fact since the victorious campaign against
Arab eleven years ago. the correspondence
of the Foreign Office and the speeches OF Mr..
Gladstone have often been ingeniously con
t,ived so as TO conceal that fact with dipl0-
matte ordinations and convenient fictiOns;
but throughout that period Lord Cromer, better
known as Sir Evelyn Barring one of the great
est English administrators of his time, has re-
NAMED master of the situation in Cairo. His
veto of the organization Of a new Ministry was
an absolute act OF political supremacy. The
Young Khedive at the instigation OF foreign
intrigucrs, Turkish or French, had sought 10
appoint his own Ministerial advisers. Sir
Evelyn Barring, supported by Lord RoSebeiy
and the British Cabinet, demanded the DIS
missal Of that Ministry within twenty-iOur
hours The Khcdive. being mcnaccd with his
own deposition, complied with the demand, and
formally bound himself for the future to make
no Ministerial changes without consulting the
British Government.
This is a transaction which cannot he ex
planned away by diplomatic phrases. French
journalists may cxctedly protest and English
Radicals like Mr.. Labouchere may beat the
air; but the logic OF this arbitrary act Of
sovereignty and supremacy is incontesable.
If Egypt were province of India it could not
be more dependent upon English domination
than it is to-day, when its nominal ruler under
penalty of deposition is compelled 10 dismiss
a Ministry of his own choice and to appoint
another which Sir Evelyn Barring dominates.
The English protec5oratc, as Mr.. Smalley has
remarked in his luminous cable letter to TIE
TRIBryE, is an accomplished fact at has
lasted since July, 1882. If England is to be
driven out il must be by war" 1t is, more
over, fact recognized by every European
Government except the nation which withdrew
from the dual partnership in 1882 and lett
England to face alone the responsibilities OF
power in Egypt.
Unquestionably England in sending an army
intp Egypt and suppvessing native revolt
pledged itself to withdraw It's garrison when
ever its work should be finished. If Mr.. Glad
stones speeches in 1882 are interpreted literal
" his Government can be technically convict
ed of dupicity and bad faith in reducing Egypt
10 the level of an English dependency. That
is because Mr.. Gladstone misunderstood eleven
years ago the work which England would have
to do in Egypt. He supposed that a military
revolt could be put down and Egypt then be
left 10 govern itself. That was impracticable
because there has never been a day since Tel
el.Kcbir when the English could have scuttlcd
out of Egypt without bringing disaster and all
the evils. of disagreement upon it. If the
garrison had been withdrawn in order that the
di sinterestedness of military intervention might
be proved England would have convicted it.

Everybody who hoped that the acquittal OF
DR.. Briggs would mark the end OF the Briggs
ease will be disappointed to learn that the
Prosecuting Committee has decided to appeal
10 the General Assembly. The grounds set
forth in the notice of appeal are irregularty
in the proceedings, improper testimony, the
exclusion of important testimony prejudice,
and mistake or injustice in the decision.
The General Assembly will meet in May next.
In secular courts the acGuittal of a defendant
ends all proceedings an appeal is out OF the
question. Unfortunately, ecclesiastical courts
do not follow this analogy.
Not satisfied with controlling this city and
State, Tammany is reaching out its hand to
Washington. That hand is plainly visible in
the postponement yesterday by the House OF
the consideration of the quarantine question
until tomorrow, when no doubt the purpose
will be disclosed of staving off action alto
rether. This is obviously in the interest OF
Mr.. Croser's brother-in-law. 1t is to be hoped
that there arc enough members of Congress
willing to show their independence of Tam
