EXPLANATION OF s.sIRDAR. y
Interesting Items Concerning the
Egyptian Title Borne by
Kitchener.

In the flood of news which came in
daily over the wire recently about
Fashoda there was constant refer
ence, an iteration and, reiteration of one
word which, while persons who read
might surmise it referred probably toa
title, yet had no positive proof of ex-
actly what it meant That one word
was invariably prefxed to Sir Herbert
Kitchener's name-the sirdar. Now,
what meant this word sirdar?
A quarter of century ago, or there
by right Of might, and not for any
other reason, occupied Egypt and took
the sultan's khedive under its tutelate,
one of its first acts was to reorganize
the Egyptian army. British officers
were sent to Egypt and placed at the
head of native troops. These officers
drilled the troops. taught them the
manual of arms and gradually instilled
in them that same esprit de corps and
enthusiasm which makes the British
army itself such a compact and formid-
able body. The native troops were al
lowed to retain their colors, their flags
and insignia and all the paraphernalia
of war distinctively the attribute of an
unconquered people. British states
men went further. They even allowed
the same military titles to remain. It
was a tactful thing to do. Britain lost
nothing thereby, and the Egyptian war
riors retained all thatwas sentimental
ly sacred to them.
Thus, therefore, the very ancient
words, sirdar, bimbashi, jougoul, ETC..
remained in the army. The sirdar of
the Egyptian army is the general in
chief. The bimbashi is major. the
jougoul a captain. Sirdar, literally it
means an officer, is as old an expression
almost as the country of the Pharaohs
itself. In Arabic the word means
''head man." There need be little
stretch of the imagination to see how
the term came to be given to the com
mandant of the Egyptian Foresight
cago Times-Herald.

that there were all these specimens of

Losses Are Not Large,

The doleful stories which the Aguin-
aldo papers tell of the losses sustained
by our army in the Philippines are not
verified by the official records. From
the landing of our first troops. near
Cavite, June 80, 1898, until June s,
1899, the date Of General Otis last re-
port, 1854 men have died of disease and
other causes than battle. This loss in
an army which, first and last, number.
ed 10000 men. is remarkably small,
considering the circumstances. Be-
tween Feb. 4 and June 6, 226 men were
killed in battle and SO died of wounds.
Thus the deaths from all causes to
June were $50. During the first year
of the late war for the Union single
division lost more men by disease than
has the army in the Philippines. Con.
sidering the losses which are reported
by British aMmies in hot climates, the
death roll q the Philippine army is
surprisingly small.

Of the middle-of- the-road Populists is
to pursue vigorously the lines of action
laid out at their first national conyen-

straight fight for men like Barker and
Donnelly. In 1894 the Populist vote for

of the middle-of- the-road faction there

The Greatest Value.

There is nothing so valuable as to be
beyond price. The friendship of our
British cousins is to be highly priced
and carefully cherished. 1t should not
be lightly let go, but better it should go
than that our present good times
should go. Valuable as it is, it is not so
valuable as is the prosperity of the
American people. The proposition
therefore made by some British states
men that the friendliness now existing
between this country and Great Brit
ain should be used as lever with
which to do away with our protective
tariff is the most arrant nonsense They
might, with as much show of reason,
ask us to contribute to the expenses
Of the royal family. British interests
would undoubtedly be subserved in
either Of these two cases. But Ameri-
can interests have first place in our
consideration yet, and American inter-
ests demand the continuance Of our
present prosperity bringing policy Of
protection.

Still Hunting an Issue.

After all their recent beating OF
drums about trusts the Democratic
managers discover that they can claim
no exclusive ground on that subject.
The Republican party has declared
against trusts in former national plat
forms and has not changed its views.
Democrats might use more words In
writing plank against oppressive Dus-
mess combinations, but all that is es-
sential will be embodied in the Repub-
lican national platform of next year,
and people will understand that 1t
means something in action, which Is
proverbially not the case with Demo-
cratic planks. Silver is still necessity
to the Democratic party. Bryan's cross
Of gold has become a poor piece OF
stage property, but he would be ride
ulous candidate without the old ratio,
which he has insisted was the keynote
of prosperity. To drop silver at liz TO
1 would be to obliterate Bryan. Only
his shadow would remain, a grotesque
reminder of a huge and admitted blum
der.
Equally unpromising for Democratic
uses is the situation in the Philippines.
Democrats have grown shy Of the word
expansion. They prefer to speak Of
Imperialism or mllitarism. No senti-
ment Of the kind exists in the United
States, but possibly fog can be raised
