Mr. Gladstone was Prime Minister when
Egypt was occupied and conquered by Il Brit
ish army under various convenient preteXts.
BY his own declarations in Parliament during
1882 and by the correspondence of the FOreg
Office he placed Great Britain under moral OBJ
legations 10 withdraw the garrison from Egypt
as soon as order should be restored. But neither
he nor Lord Salisbury has ever venturcd to
fulfil the pledges which were then made. The
garrison has been reduced at various times. but
whenever the Khcdive has shown Il disposition
to break away from English counsel or TO
listen to French intrigue, rcnforccmcnts have
been sent in haste to Cairo. The Khedivc dur
ing his recent Nile tour has been outspokcn in
his criticism Of British officers The response
Is quick and characteristic Pressure is brought
10 bear upon him and he srrrenders with suit
able apologies.
The pledges made TO France and Europc will
never be honorcd. England. having once Sc
cured control Of Egypt under one diplomatic
pretence or another, will never retire unless
driven ont in Il military campaign The by
play OF the Foreign Office will be continued
indefinitely. and Mr.. Gladstone as long as he
lives will respect the conventional fctions which
have been repeated for twelve years: but the
garrison will remain and Egypt will be prac-
tically governed from LONDON. England does
not undertake Quixotic campaigns Of interna-
tional ethics. She takes what she can get and
holds on to what she has; and if pledges and
national obligations stand in the way II does
not matter. There she is. and there she will

Mr. CROKER AT THE CIPIT1L.

1t is hardly In good form for Administration
NEWSPAPERS to get hot about Mr. Croker's VISIT
to the National Capital and his evee in Speaker
Crisps room. There is no apparent reason why
the ruler Of New-Yori should not repair 10 the
seat Of Government If he thinks that the eli
mate will agree with him, or why the maker
of numerous congressman should not descend
upon those whom he has made at occasional
and irregular intervals in order to see whether
or not they are attending to their business.
This is all that Alr. Croker has done in and
around the halls Of Congress. SO far rs The
public is informed and he is obviously well
within his rights and privileges.
But there is Il special improprety. amounting
almost we should say to in6delity, in express
sons of resentment against Mr.. Croker on the
part OF the Administrations votarics; for it Is
announced in dispatches from Washington that
he called upon the President yesterday and
that these two illustrous potentates were

Street Cleaning Commissioner Andrcws's neat
scheme for enriching Tammany contractor by
the simple device of not giving him contract
has come TO grief. Corporation Counsel Clark
has declared that such an arrangement is ille-
gal In consequence. Mr.. Andrews must adver-
tise for proposals in the usual form. and Of
course he cannot guarantee that the rich profits
will go into the pockets of John ID. Daley. The
sum allowed for final disposition of street
material is S340OO0 and it is asserted that
Daley was to clear 100000 on his little
arrangement, now SO cruelty smashed. If there
Is room for such a profit. the Board Of Est-
mate ought to see that the amount of this item
Is largely reduced.
