sMAKEE OF MODERN EGrPT.~

There Ia distinct touch OF psthcs
In the retirement from duty, OF Lord
cromer, who for years has enjoyed the
distinction OF bslng the Maker OF Mod
ern Egypt" A quarter OF q century has
elapsed since that country went under
tho projecting wing OF the British gov
! eminent,
| During the wholt OF that period. Lord
| Cronier, who now quits his station on
account Of FALLING health, has exercised
a tremendous Influence tor good over
the felIab cen OF that land, who have
been raised from a condition closely
akin TO that OF slavery, TO the position
OF pro sperous peasants, by the wise
course OF colonial management he has
welded. The system OF irrigation he
has established against 'h~ blight OF
whitening winds and dry seesons. has
attracted the attention OF agricuturists
throughout the civilized world. and
made famine and want a thing I'M
known among the present generation.
In the imposition and collection OF taxes
he ever pursued a careful and Just
policy. distributing the burdens and
benefits with equal wisdom and fore
sight. The railway service was extend
cd according to the 'needs Of the people
and the Same was true with regard to
the postal service The native and
regular troops were organized on the
most effective footing Trade relations
were extended and strengthened and
the Filling of the soil made an honor
able and desirable calling, Honesty
was gradually developed among native
subordinate officials until they could
be- entrusted to faithfully discharge
their duties wherever they we're as
signed, something that was impossible
under Turkish sway
1t Is to be sincerely hoped for the
good of Egypt that his successor like
himself, may be permitted TO remain
at his post long enough 10 see his poll
Giles bear fruit. and that he will not be
removed for purely political reasons as
is so often the case In other countries.
Meanwhile Lord t,romer will 90 back
10 his native land with the love of thou
sands 10 enjoy for the remainder OF his
days that peace which he has so fully
and ably earned. That the British gov
eminent will deal generously with him
is a foregcne conclusion for at hest it
owes him y debt OF gratitude IL can
never pay.

The police OF New York city are en-
gagged In a crusade against carrying
concealed weapons, 1t Is yielding great
returns. The carrying OF concealed
weapons lis bad and dangerous prac-
tIce, and one that should be discourag ed
by the moral sentiment OF a community
and the enforcement of the law. The
practice leads to the commission OF
more homicides than anything else.
Success to New York's crusade, Other
cities could adopt the same course with
much benefit to themselves and the
country at large.

The lynching of the three negroes
took place on easter morn of 1906.
One of them was accused of crimi-
nal assault and he was first hanged
to a statute of liberty in the public
square. The blood lust of the mob
then overran all bounds and two 9th
er black men, charged with minor Of
fenses, were taken from the Jail and
hanged and their bodies afterwards
burned. Springfield has large popu-
ltion of negroes and for time the

to discover the identity of the mob
leaders, and the indictment of Gooch,
Galbraith and twenty others resulted.

excitement in the upper floors of the
Western Union building where more
