THE Raines liquor tax bill of New
York was signed by Governor Morton.
In approving the bill the Governor filed
a memorandum, which is in part as fol-
lows: "The bill now under consideration
is a result of the deliberations of the
legislature upon the subject, and the
suggestions of many persons interested
in it, and, while it is not free from OBJ
lection in some of its details, have no
hesitation in commencing the measure
as whole. 1t marks the beginning of
a new era in legislation in this State
regulating the liquor traffic. 1t is a rad
ical departure from the traditional pol
icy of the State, which has heretofore
considered the regulation and sale of
intoxicating liquors matters of purely
local jurisdiction"

TELEGRAMs from continental centers
indicate that Russia and France are
strenuously endeavoring to arouse pref
udice and enmity against England. The
plan OF 'compaign in Egypt, it is said,
has given great offense at st. Peters
burg, and official dispatches between
that capital and Paris are numerous.
The French foreign minister, with the
have the other foreign powers join in
demanding from Great Britain guar
antee for the evacuation Of Egypt. 1t
has not been ascertained whether the
plan is to have the khedive's territory
Abandoned in the near future, or whether
the outcome of the Dongola expedition
will be awaited. 1t is certain, however,
that France will, il it can have its way,
insist upon immediate pledges being
procured from Lord Salisbury. The
continental diplomats fear, in case the
British suffer temporary defeat at the
hands of the mahdists, that Salisbury
and Chamberlain will offer further ex-
cuse for occupation of the Nile Valley
the claim that Lower Egypt is threat
ened, and that the presence of the Brit
ish troops is necessary for its protection.
INDICATIONS multiply to show that
Russia is intriguing with the sultan.
Advices from Constantinople are to the
effect that an extraordinary council
of the ministers, which lasted all day
long. was held there on Saturday, and
that the aubject under discussion was
the British Egyptian expedition. But
one meaning is attached to this singular
proceeding by diplomatists, and that is
that an effort to arouse religious preju.
dices against England is being made.
There is disposition in army circles in
the Turkish capital to sid the mahdists,
and it is believed that some of the ex-
treme fanatical officers will try to find
their way to the Soudan and fight under
the flag of the prophet.

The prospects for heavy peach crop
in western Michigan were never more
favorable than this year. The trees

For the first time in its history, the
popular branch Of Congress has rebuked
an American diplomatic agent for his
utterances abroad. The House Of Rep
resentatives, March 20, adopted reso-
luton censuring Ambassador Bayard
for his indiscreet utterances in Great
Britain. The majority was overwhelm-
ing, the vote standing $50 to II. AS if
to emphasize the severity Of the rebuke,
the number of Democrats voting for
censure was greater than the number of
Republicans voting against it. Whether
the action OF the House was wise or not.
the result will be to impose wholesome
restraint on our representatives abroad.
