BRITISH RULE EGYPT.

The brilliant success of Gen. Sir Her.
bert Kitchener in the capture of Khar
toum, or rather Omdurman, which is the
modern KhartOum, will serve the present
British ministry as an excellent foil to the
discredit of its failure in Asia. 1t will
appeal very strongly to the English
masses which have cried for revenge for
the murder of Gordon in much the same
spirit that our own masses demanded re.
venge for the destruction of the Maine.
Beyond the military achievement, the
rout of the khalifa and the complete de-
struction of his army has a deep signiti
canoe The fall of Khartoum has been
expected. The expedition commanded
by Sir Herbert Kitchener was as carefully
planned as it was brilliantly executed.

Spirit Of the Dress.
Observation-Disclosures



A way of by herself in her odd corner of
the world little Japan is making record
as a beehive of industry and trade that is
worthy of the most enlightened Caucas-
ian nation.
The Kingdoms foreign commerce has
tripled in a decade. No other nation on
the globe can show such prodigious
rate of increase. 1t has gained 30 per
cent. between 1896 and 1897, and the
larger increase is in exports. According
to the special report of the American
consul general at Yokohama, the ship
ments of japanese merchandise to foreign
countries increased from value of H.
SIP, 760 yen in 1896 to a value of 1913, 1857
or yen 1881 100000 in 1897, or a gain of
3S.S per cent, while in the same interval
Japan's purchases of foreign merchandise
increased from III, G74, Al yen to 219,-
300,771 yen (Sl09, 43l .000), gain of Is S
per cent.
Oddly enough. there was a decrease in
the sales to America and Europe of some
wares peculiarly identified with Japan
rice, silk handkerchiefs. mats, lacquer
ware, porcelain. etc, although raw silk,
tea, straw braid and matches more than
held their own. But Japan bought from
abroad much less cotton yarn, cotton
piece goods and wooden cloth, and at the
same time increased her imports very
largely of raw cotton, machinery and
railway materials.
what these significant change in the
character of the commerce of the island
kingdom means is that Japan is swiftly
learning the use of modern methods of
production, and is becoming less and less
a market for American and European
manufactures. Within fifteen years
these ambitious and facile little Orienials
have developed cotton industry work
ing nearly million spindles and export
ing last year almost S7,000.000 worth of
yarn.
These commercial facts are warning
sgnboards pointing to the time when
Japan will have to be reckoned with as a
real competitor in Eastern markets by
the proudest manufacturing nations of
the West.-Boston journal.

and lounging places. Consequently,
while it may be true that liquor Is sold
at many hotels in the state this does not
of itself prove that the chief purpose Of
the law Is not attained.
What then is that purpose? 1t may be
expressed in a few words. 1t is to do
what it can to prevent intemperance by
prohibiting the sale of liquor for purpose
of drunkenness or carousal. Or to put il
in the briefest possible form, the purpose
of prohibition Is to put down the saloon
On other points advocates of the law
may differ, but on this they are at one,
viz. that the saloon is terrible evil, the
principal source of drunkenness and 9TH
er crimes as well, and prohibition is the
most effective means for its suppression.
The issue then on which we must rest
our case is simply this We advocate
prohibition, not because it will do every
thing, but because it is the most eiiec-
tive means for the suppression of the
saloon.
The reply to this must be apparently
either that prohibition does not succeed
in suppressing the saloon or else that the
sacrifice involved is too great.
As matter of fact these two replies
are generally combined in the statement
that the very practical degree of suppress
sion obtained by prohibition is not worth
what it costs. This statement we must

tons,
The importance of the problem that it
was foreseen would confront England as
the result of the downfall of mahdism
made success Imperative Gen. kitch-
enet's victory reclaims the Soudan for
Egypt and remnV con tdnt menace to
the government Of the khedive. 1t opens
the way for the consummation OF the
ambitious plan of Cecil Rhodes, who
would connect the Nile with the Iambesi
aud establish direct communication from
Cairo to the Cape. As Mr. Townsend
saws in his dispatch from London in The
Record Yesterday, "the road Is now open
for the British army and British gun
boats 900 miles south of khartoum to
the region which has long had the ear
marks of British policy, but where
French ambition in Abyssinia threatens
dangers and difficulties"
Great Britain is now face to face with
problem vital to its occupation of
Egypt, constant source of embarrass-
ment to the foreign office. The provi-
sional nature of British occupation has al
ways been recognized by conservative
ministers. At the same time it has been
held that Egypt could not be abandoned
until the existence of a stable executive
at Cairo was a fact and lower Egypt Sc
cure from external attack. The last of
these conditions has, perhaps. been now
fulfilled. But the khediye and his
ministry are men of straw and Lord
Cromer is the real ruler of Egypt.
The future policy of England in Egypt
is not to be coniectured with any con-
fidence of accuracy. The annexation of
Bahr.el-Ghazal, south of Khartoum, is
urged by powerful interests in British
politics and is apparently as strongly OPP
posed by others not less powerful, There
is always to be considered the opposition
of France, which views with jealousy
and hostility the British position in
Egypt. 1t is a question whether Egypt
without the aid of Great Britain can
garrison and defend the Soudan against
native uprisings. The probability is that
re-enforcements must be sent from Eng
land.
1t is not likely that Great Britain will
permit the Soudan, of vast Importance
not only to Egypt but also to British in
terests in central and southern Africa, to
be again placed in jeopardy, and the fall
of khartoum may be the means of pro-
longing rather than diminishing the
term of British occupation of Egypt
