Egypt's Ruler Retires.

Lord Cromers retirement from the British
service In Egypt. just announced in Lon
don, brings sharply TO view once more the
remarkable position held for years by this
man in The management of a state that
is theoretically subject TO the suzerainty of
Turkey. but is today no less than a colony
of seat Britain. In 1866 the Sultan OF
Turkey sold to the reigning pasha a firman
granting the Egyptian executive virtually
sovereign powers, including that of neso-
tiating treaties and maintaining an army
and the hereditary title of khedive. Isman
thereupon undertook an extravagant series
OF Improvements which precipitated a state
OF bankruptcy and led to the dual control
by England and France, which began in
1879 and was inaugurated by the abdication
of Ismail and his succession by his son,
Mohamed Tewfik. In the summer of 1882
Arab Pasha raised the standard of revolt
and Egypt was menaced with dire happen
ings. France refusing TO intervene, England
undertook alone to quell the revolt and re-
store order, The joint control was abol-
ished in January, 1883, and since that time
England has been the actual regulator of
Egyptian affairs through its management
OF the finances. Lord Cromer. who had

capacities, had been named by England as

Colonel Graves to the Rescue.

John Temple Graves is not a man of
weight in the political world. He has never
held office. nor had it in his power to
bcstow office on others. At most. he is one
of those fluent makers of phrases who
tickle popular audiences with tall talk and
thrive on the admiration of the immature.
Such men multiply in times Of storm and
stress. and just now they are numerous
In this stirring country of ours. Still, as
MIR. Graves is a democrat and a southern
man his extraordinary proposition made
at Chattanooga deserves word.
First of all Mr.. Bryan must be compli-
mented on his sagacity in overruling his
friends and having Mr.. Graves attend the
banquet and speak his piece. Had the
other arrangement prevailed the story
would have been distorted in the telling,
aud Mir. Bryan made TO appear afraid
of free discussion in his presence. But at
his request the Georgia orator attended
the function and submitted his proposition
Mr. Bryan's reply was clever, and showed
both his readiness and his good nature
But Mr.. Graves. assuming to voice south
ern sentiment, gives the south away At

it's representative in the matter of the pub
lie debt in 1877 and on the Inauguration of
the dual control became the English COM
missioner general In 1883, when the dual
control was abolished, Lord Cromer was
designated as agent and consul general in
Egypt" Under the terms of the agreement
the British financial adviser was given
seat in the council of ministers, but was
granted no administrative power. Without
his assent. however, no financial decision
could be taken.
Thus invested with absolute power over
the public purse, Lord Cromer, being man
of unusual ability and deep understand
ing of the Egyptian character at once
proved that he was the real ruler OF Egypt.
For twenty-four years he has governed that
country. directly through his management
of the finances and indirectly through his
influence over the khedive. Yet he is a man
of whom the world at large has heard little
beyond these facts. He has not paraded
his power nor has he assumed dignities be-
yond his right. Content with the reality of
authority, he has waived the show of 1t.
and the result has been that for years few
people outside of the official circles were
aware that the Khedive of Egypt was ruler
merely in name and that the quiet. stu
dious Englishman who occupied an appar-
emily unimportant position in the countrys
administration and who bore the humble
title of agent and consul general was the
man of supreme authority over an area of
40; go square miles and a population of
nearly 1o,080Oe0 souls.
The members of the government at Lon
don express their deep and undoubtedly SIN
cere regret at the failure of health which
compels Lord Cromer to retire at the age OF
sixty-six. He has served his country and
Egypt so well and so long that it will be
difficult TO fill his place. Yet Sir Eden
Gorst whom Lord Cromer virtually names
as his successor. has had twenty years ex-
perience in Egypt and is in close touch
with the retiring agent in all matters
affecting the administration.

Taft.

Secretary Taft's latest deiverance has

feet. Again he has scored. As nego-
tiator and an arbitrator he has had eXtraor-
binary success. He was swift to grasp
the problem in the Philippines and to I'M
derstand the character of the people. When
he left, the manifestations of respect for
him were extraordinary. At Panama his
two short visits were very fruitful. and in
Cuba he has twice shown his quality. Such
a man has high claims to attention, and
his appearance in the field for the republi-
can nomination for the presidency adds
greatly to the interest of the contest. He
possesses many elements of strength, and
upon his return home may have something
to say to his supporters in Ohio about the
mana ement of his affairs there. They
