There was much interest manifested IN
the Chautauqua at the meeting, and the
arrangements that are now to be oar
ried forward is an assurance that the
coming session will be the greatest If
the Chautauqua's history. A great
many new and novel features will be
added this year, which will make the

the platform attractions which have

qua will be the ideal place this eesslor
for any ono to find combined pleasure

Secretary of the Navy Long has

had given most careful consideration
to the claims of the various cities

through their representatives in Con

proper that some State which had no

The average fare per mile is not given
by Mr.. Porter, and 1t may be somewhat
but not much lower in Glasgow than
in American cities. Allowing for this
advantage enjoyed by the public of the

II Is impossible to properly nccomo-
date n population of 100000 with only
Il miles OF track. salt Lake City with
q population of less than one-tenth

the same number of miles of street

Thus Leeds with population of iO2.-

Baltimore, having about the same pop

"ORCANIZED CONSCIENCE"


TO the Editor:
Senator Turner yesterday went fur
Their than any of his confreres have
done In denouncing the President, but
in the course of his speech he said
Congress 'is the organized conscience
Of the country" That accounts for
many things that the country has only
half understood for years. 1t is an
important piece of news and Is equiva-
lent to saying the country is in n very
bad way. So it Isl When 10000 900
of people have no more conscience than
Congress manifests towards the chief
officer of the nation the latter is in
danger, not of Spain, but of itself.
But this restless impudence that
thinks 1t is independence. in its mad
bull believing for war is neither con-
science nor sense. Lincoln was abused
even worse than Mr.. Mckinley for his
sowness of action on the slavery
question. But If Lincoln had done
what the ranters of his time tried to
force him into doing there would not
be now a united nation from lakes to
Gulf ready to move as one man to
avenge the murder of the Maine s
crew.
Then. too, this great ado about in
humanity in Cuba is largely spasm
of excitement. For a hundred years
the American people We're about as
mean In their treatment of the Indians
as the Spaniards have been in their
treatment of the Cubans. who are, as
u people. not SO very much superior to
the Indians.
II Mr.. Mckinley sees possibility of
intervention on the other side, COM
bination OF the Catholic monarchies
of Europe to aid Spain, then he is
heaven high in his slow action above
those who would rush into war be-
fore knowing who it Is they are going
to lick" in day. II l had to fight
would want to know two things
First: Who was to be my opponent.
Secondly: That l should not get licked
myself.
We have all the time there is in
which to punish Spain for the loss of
the Maine and her crew, IL Is therefore
wise to know exactly what we have to
do before beginning. | think Mr.. Nc
Kinley has done right and that the
country, the nation, will be very much
safer in his hands than 1t can he in
the care of an organized conscience
that has no better control OF itself
than Congress has.

EGYPT UNDER BRITISH RULE.

Undoubtedly the events that led to
the assumption of control OF Egypt by
Great Britain comprised "a disguised
blessing for that land, so long the scene
OF mlsrule, and so helpless to redeem
itself by its own efforts. Upon this
subject Bradstreet's says
AN official return furnishing the sta
tstics Of Egypt under the British au-
thorlty has lately been Issued at Cairo,
which gives in n condensed form the
facts and figures that go to show the
material benefit of English supervision.
In the period since 1882 1t seems that
the population OF Egypt has increased
about 100000 or 43 per cent. but. on
the other hand. while the area of culti-
waited land has Increased l3 per cent.
the aggregate land tax is $4,000 less
than Ii was when England assumed
control, and the average tax ON each
"fadden" tthe Egyptian land measure),
which was then nearlyS5.50, Is now less
than $40. on the other hand, tobacco,
the taxation ON which produced less
than 100000, now yields n revenue of
over $1,000 600. Arrears of land taxes
have practically ceased, and their coll
lection no longer occasions distress to
the native cultivators. while the gem
eral policy. adopted has been to diminish
direct taxes, covering any loss Of
