ENGLAND IN EGYPT.

British Power is firmly soo+o1 :,
Egypt and intends to stay there No
declaration Of the English Govern
ment that it intends to withdraw os
soon as the country is pacifed and IN
oruef need be considered. They do
not intend to withdraw and thev do not
intend to adjust the troubles Of tba
country, because while thev remain
unsettled they will have an excnsa +o
stay
An expedition has been moyino II,
the Nile. 1t started about a wear aoo
and IS composed of a column of En-.
gllsh troops and some regiments Of
Egyptian soldiers tits under tbecom-
mand of British officers. Its Victories
and successes, if it should have oo-
qulred any, would have been added 70
the sum OF British glory. It's cost in
any case IS paid with Egypt's money.
Ihe expedition babe fair to he too snc-
cessful. 1t was almost in striking dis
lance OF the Mahdi, and would in all
probability have taken Kbartonm
and avenged Gordon's death. when
1t was recalled, because without
rebellion actual or threatened in the
Soudan the English would have no
excuse before the powers to remain
III the country.
The English occupation of this conn
try Is a striking illustration Of tbe
methods of Great Britain. Befora
1852 Egypt being in difficulties. having
spent great sums to build the canal
ana having incurred other large debts
III Europe, a dual Board of Central
was appointed by France and England
III Egypt to secure the payment of its
deDts. If the rule of Ismail was hard
ana his administration of the finances
dishonest, the double control was
harder. 1t displaced the natives from
every Office, 50 that in 1881 there was
not telegraph operator, engine driver
lshthouse-keeper, or similar employ
ment not held by an Englisman or a
frenchman. The native was allowed
to work in the fields and pay taxes,
but there was no other place for him.
That this army of placemen should
have invaded the country was bad
enough, but that every office in which
two persons, an Englishman and
Frenchman, could be squeezed to do
one mans work and draw two salaries
OF Egyptian money was worse, and
that was the condition when Arab
Bey raised the standard of revolt in
1882.
If ever there was war for national
independence inspired by high patriot
lsm' 1t was the one Of that year in
Egypt But Egypt is greatly prosper
ing under English rule.

The Poll Tax.

Says the Milford Chronicle: "We
differ with the governor in one particu-
lar, and that is his reccomdations as to
the poll-tax.
We wish he hsd recommended that a
constitutional amendment be offered
eradicating it from the organic law, al
lowing and permitting a man to vote
on the qualification of citizenship
alone.
However the people may be reas-
sured from the tone of the message
that good government will be made to
prevail and that the administration of
the laws will be divested of pernicious
partisan influence and manipulation.
All praise to Governor Tunnel.

ONE Of TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one DUR
pose, namely, receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to anv form
OF disease except by one of two wavs.
The first way is from imperfect action
OF the kidneys. The second wav is
from careless local treatment of other

A resident of Kent Island few days

our farmers realize more profit from

beware of Cintments for Ca
tarrh that contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering It
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable physi-
clans, as the damage they will do is
derive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by f. J. Cheney & Co.,

An Old Idea.

Every day strengthens the belief of emf
nent physicians that impure blood is the
cause of the majority of our diseases.
Twenty-Five years ago this theory was used
as a basis for the formula of Browns Iron
Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected
by this famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.

THE SETTLING UP IS CERTAIN.


Ernest McGdGey in the Inter- Ocean.
You may take the world IS it comes and goes,
And you will be sure to find
That fate will square the accounts she owes,
Whoever comes out behind;
And all things bad that man has done,
By whatsoever induced.
Return at last to him, one by one,
AS the chickens come home to roost.
You may scrape and toll and pinch and save
While your boarded wealth expands,
Till the cold, dark shadow of the grave
Is nearing your life's last sands;
You will have your balances struck some night,
And Won will find your hoard reduced.
Youth view your life in another light,
When the chickens come home to roost.
You can stint your soul and starve your heart,
With the husks of barren creed,
But Christ win know if you play part,
Will know in your hour of need;
And then as you wait for death to come
What hope can there be deduced
From a creed alone? You will lie there dumb
While your chickens come home to roost.
Sow as you will, there's a time to reap,
For the good and the bad as well,
And conscience, whether we wake or sleep,
Is either heaven or hell.
And every wrong will find its place,
And every passion loosed
Drifts back and meets you face to face,
When the chickens come home to roost.
Whether you're over or under the sol,
The result will be the same;
You cannot escape the hand of God;
You must bear your sin or shame.
No matter what's carved on marble slab,
When the items are all produced,
You'll find that ST. Peter was keeping tab
And that chickens come home to roost.

Barley is not extensively grown, yet it
is superior stock food and will grow on
soils that will not produce wheat. In
England hogs are fattened on barley and
the meat contains more lean than that pro-
duced from corn. In feeding pigs as test
barley gave better results than corn, a
pounds of growth being secured from three
and half pounds of barley, at a cost of 2
cents per pound, which was better than
from any other food. Pigs, however,
grow more rapidly than adult hogs.
Ground grain proved superior to the I'M
ground In steer feeding both corn and
wheat surpassed barley, and with lambs
the results were about the same with corn,
wheat and barley. Corn and barley mixed
gave better results than either alone in
some cases. These tests should make bar
ley favorite where it is not now grown

computation of the services of the Mary
land Line under General Smallwood and
other officers
Animated with desire to perpetuate
these patriotic achievements, the Maryland
Society of the Sons of the American Revo-
luton, corporation duly incorporated
under the laws of the State of Maryland
asks the aid of Congress in the erection of
suitable monument to these heroic patri-
OTIS in Baltimore. The design is to be APP
proved by the Secretary of War, and the
sum appropriated is not to be available until
a contract for the completion of the work
has been made
Believing that such an exceptional
record is worthy of commemoration by the
American nation, your committee, follow
ing the action of the committee on the Ii
brary in the Fifty fourth Congress, respect
fully recommend the passage of the bill. .
