The War in Egypt.
Englands's war in Egypt is now in full
tide. The primary cause of this war
originates from the extravagance of the
father of the present Khedive, or Vice
roy who succeeded in saddling the
country with an enormous debt. The
greater portion of the obligations of this
debt, with the accuring interest attach
ed, is held by the nobility of England
and France. When the Egyptians tired
of their expensive ruler, they deposed
him and put his son in lii 3 place, the
English creditors and their French
allies got possession of the man
agement of the Egyptian finances to
secure the payment of their claims.
Arabi Bey, representing the native
political element of thecountry, rebelled
against this summary disposal of the
resources of the land. England sent a
fleet and bombarded Alexandria for the
purpose of subduing the rebellion and
restoring the power of collecting the
revenue of Egypt to the English and
French officials empowered to receive
it. This is the history of the case, as
we understand it. Alexandria, original
ly a city founded by Alexander the
Great in 332 B. C. has been given over
to destruction, first by the British gun,
and completed by the fire of the re
treating rebels, is now in the possession
of England. Arabi Bey and his army
escaped to continue the war elsewhere.
The Parentnge and Youth of Hie dem
ocratic Candidate—A Friendly View.
The nominee of the Democrats for
Governor of Pennsylvania was, when I
last saw him, a little boy, aged probably
nine years. Ilis father was a poor Meth
odist preacher, of a large handsome
presence, looking something like the
late Chief Justice Chase. His sincerity
and beauty attracted a Miss Woodford,
of Somerset county, Maryland, who
came of an old Colonial family there,
members of which sat in the Maryland
Legislature in the time of Charles 11.
Almost the only strangers of address
and experience to travel on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland have been these
itinerant clergymen of Wesley's order,
and they frequently get the pick of the
wives, if not in worldly goods, in virtue
and sense. My parents and the Patti
sons being both from the same region
of Maryland, the mother frequently
brought these children to our mother to
spend part of the day while she visited
or went on a journey. She probably
kept but one servant, and had to cut
the cloth of life close to the pattern.
1 never thought in those days that in
the leanished-legged, self willed urchin
playing around the floor was a Governor
of Pennsylvania. His best endowment
was the unvarying refinement of man
ner and character his father carried
through life, and the Maryland spirit
his mother possessed. These old Colo
nial families look to public honorß as
better than riches, and would rather be
people of consideration than of vulgar
opulence.
Little Bobby Pattison went to the
Philadelphia public schools—the same
Grammar school and High school
'•Gath" had been through eight or ten
years earlier—and then his father had
the toleration, born of gentlemanly in
stincts, to let the boy enter the law
office of a good Roman Catholic, Lewis
C. Cassidy. He obtained the very re
sponsible place of controller, or watch
dog of the city treasury, and there it
was astonishing how one man, educated
in honor and the fear of God, could be
distinguished in a peculating and thriv
ing age. He positively did not know
how to steal, though he had been always
poor. This made him eminent in Phil
adelphia politics, and very unfashion
ble. But it pleased the tax payers, who
hardly knew what was theirs until they
sat on it. And, finally, at the age of
thirty-two, this little boy, born at the
old town of Snow Hill, which is older
than Annapolis, verifies the text I once
heard his father preach a sermon
from : "Thou hast been faithful over a
few things; low I will make thee ruler
over many." His mother made no mis
take when she married the black-eyed
Methodist preacher.— Gath in Cincinnati

Mninruvriug for Position.
The correspondence that has lately
passed between the Republican Bosses
and the Independents exhibits every
phase of superb political strategy. Both
sides have been manoeuvring tor posi
tion. Both know that there is a vita!
point of disagreement between them
that the Bosses can't accept and that
the Independents can't surrender; that
after diplomacy shall have played its
E art a death-struggle must follow; and
oth are seeking to manoeuvre each oth
er into as vulnerable a position as possi
ble for the desperate final attack.
The strategy of the Bosses was as well
conceived and as brilliantly executed as
their unfortunate position admitted. 1 f
they had been dealing with the loose
Independents of the past, they would
have captured the whole Independent
army, bag and baggage ; but the strate
gy that has manouvred the Indepen
dents into the fatal embrace of the
Bossses many times during the decade,
has each year created bolder and more
aggressive Independents, and the Boss
strategists were, for the first time, con
fronted with Independent strategists
who know a hawk from a handsaw.
When Bosses Cameron, Quay aud Coop
er threw out their strategy to capture
John Stewart, they missed their man,
and the superb strategy with which he
manoeuvred on the field, was immensely
supported by the unspiked and unspi
kableM'Michael battery that commands
the key of the Boss position.
The strategic Bosses offered the Inde
pendents everything that the Independ
ents don't want, and reserved the one
thing that they not only wan! but must
have. The offer was couched in the
faultless employment of words to con
ceal ideas and purposes; but Independ
ent Stewart cut abruptly across lots to
get at just what the Bosses don't want
to surrender and what they can't afford
to refuse. Boss Cameron's strategy
thinly disguises his one purpose to make
Beaver Governor to perpetuate the
power of Cameron and the machine;
Independent Stewart's strategy disguis
es nothing; declares in favor of a Re
publican ticket that shall be the hon
est choice of honest Republicans, and
sinks all personal ambition on the altar
of honest Republican unity. Tlris strikes
ths Bosses in the one penetrable point
of the Boss armor, and Stewart can be
content, as the machine must surren
der Beaver and the spoils system or it
must die on the field.
Cunning as was the Boss strategy, it
has been surpassed by the more direct
and no less wise strategy of the Inde
pendents. The Bosses greatly surpass
the Independents in skilful political
strategy, as strategy has been their stu
dy and practice for years; but it re
quired no great skill for an Independ
ent leader like John Stewart to go right
down to bed-rock truth and counter on
the bosses by cutting squarely through
their platitudes ami uncovering tho o|e
vitul point in the Bosses' line that the
Republican people are ready to attack.
And when Stewart bad done bis part
with consummate generalship, to meet
one of the cunning expedients which
often confront politicians, Colonel Mc-
Michael put in a supplement to the In
dependent stratagy, telling all that was
forbidden to lie told in political diplo
macy. McMicliAel's letter, telling the
truth for the truth's sake, and refusing
lo subordinate the right to any conside
rations of expediency, is the leature of
the strategic niovenunts for position
that will be ever Iresli in the public
mind. Grant, the commander, had to
manoeuvre at limes, but Sheridan, the
lieutenant, could strike from the Val
ley to Appomattox.
The strategy of the disputing Bosses
and Independents is now practically en
ded, and the results of their manoeuvres
for position are visible to all. They
have ended just where they started and
just where both knew horn the begin
ning they must end. Cameron won't
abdicate his Boss domination and he
can't surrender Beaver: the Independ
ents won't assent to Cameron's arro
gant and despotic leadership, and they
can't accept Beaver, Cameron's chosen
candidate for Governor. Cameron meant
it all from the start ; the Independents
knew his irrevocable purpose when they
organised revolution, and now both
sides have exhausted strategy and
manoeuvres for position, and the shock
of battle must come. Whether Stewnrt
or Pattison shall win, it will be equally
a fatal defeat for the Bosses, and as one
of them must win, the victory will be
for the right.— l'ltila. Times.
A National Improvement.
In the River and Harbor bill one of
the heaviest appropriations is for be
gining the work of digging the Henne
pin Canal, in Illinois. The design of
the canal is to connect the great lakes
with the Mississippi l'iver. The canal
will be sixty-five miles long, and wholly
within the territory of Illinois. When
this improvement is made its advocates
boast that ocean-going vessels can be
loaded with freight at Chicago, pass
through tho canal, thence down the
Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico,
and thence to Liverpool without break
ing cargo. It is this consideration
which has doubtless provoked so much
zealous opposition to the canal from
Representatives in the West who never
before were known to balk at the moßt
asteful and useless appropriate ns for
vers and harbors.
This Hennepin Canal, the appropria
tion for which met with fierce opposi
tion in the Henate on Thursday, has at
least the appearance of being a work of
national character, differing in this re
spect from most of the jobs in the River
and Harbor bill. But the demand for
this appropriatidh serves to mark the
great change which has been wrought
iu the policy and character of the Gov
ernment within the last fifty years. In
the early hiatory of public improvements
the people of Pennsylvania, at their
own expense, constructed works of far
greater national and commercial impor
tance than the Hennepin Canal.. At
vast expenditure, in a period of compa
rative poverty, they opened a great line
of transportation from east to west,
lifting section boats over the Allegheny
Mountains by stationary engines and a
series of inolined planes and dropping
tliem into the canal at Johnstown,
whence they were floated to Pittsburg,
enterprise and engineering skill was
finished, along of great mag
nitude, the debt of the State was up
ward of $40,000,000. New York, at the
name time, constructed mighty works of
internal improvement which were of
far more commercial importance than
four-fifths of the alleged improvements
in this River and Harbor bill. Virginia
and Maryland, too, vied with their sis
ter States to the North in making simi
lar improvements for promoting the
internal commerce of the country.
When these States were thus assuming
heavy burdens of debt and taxation,
some of which have not yet been remov
ed, they did not dream of appealing to
the National Government for assistance.
Had they done so they would have been
referred by the Democratic administra
tors of the Government to the constitu
tional restrictions and to the poverty of
the National Treasury. But the con
stitutional limitations have been long
since pettifogged, and a surplus of one
hundred and fifty millions in the Trea
sury, drained from the life-blood of in
dustry, It 11 'ords a constant temptation to
every species of jobbery that can be de
vised under pretence of improving the
commerce of the country.
The position of the States and of the
General Government toward each other
bus completely changed. Fortunately
the States undertook the works of pub
lic improvement, which were designed
in greater or less degree to promote the
commerce of the whole country. The
public works of Pennsylvania, like the
proposed IJpnnepin Canal, were wholly
within the limits of the State, but the
States on the east and west and north
and south participated more or less in
their commercial advantages. Now the
States come to the National Treasury
with their ladles, lustily begging for
pap. Notwithstanding the boasted
commercial importance of the Henne
pin Canal, neither public nor private
enterprise in Illinois can be induced to
dig it, though the exuense is estimated
at only three or four million dollars. If
a ring of speculators in politics and busi
ness in Virginia wish to increase their
facilities ot transporting coal in that
State, an appropriation troin the Treas
ury is sought and obtained with the
pretence of promoting internal com
merce. Lumber companies in Michi
gan and Wisconsin have found appro
priations in the Kiver and Harbor bill
very convenient to enable them to lloat
their lumber to market. There is
scarcely a stream or inlet from Maine
around to Oregon that is not fretted
witli an improvement tor the alleged
benefit ot commerce, though many of
them in certain seasons will never be
able to float a negroe's dug-out with the
utmost amount ot appropriation. Demo
cratic Representatives in Congress, who
boast ot their devotion to State rights
and strict construction, find themselves
incapable of withstanding the seduc
tions of a river and harbor job. Mc
Lane, of Maryland, and Reagan, of
Texas, strict constructionists both, had
the audacity to defend this most enor
mous of all river and harbor jobs, as in
harmony with the Constitution and the
practice of (lie fathers, when they knew
they were falsifying the I rut li ol politi
cal history and perverting the princi
ples of Democracy.

WItAT CUAUNCEV F. 111.ACS SAVSOF I'ATTI
SON ANO THE TICKET.
York H to the TIIHPH.
Monday evening a large number of
citizens assembled in Centre Square and
headed by the Spring Garden bund,
marched to the home of Chauncey F.
Black and tendered him a serenade in
honor of his nomination. Mr. Black
acknowledged the honor by saying :
"You expect on this occasion no
speech from me concerning the general
issue of the campaign. The time for
that has not yet arrived. I will suggest
hut a single idea. The battle now to be
fought is not one for mere partisan vic
tory ; its object is the reform of the state
government in all its departments and
clean hands only must be put to the
work. The nomination of the gallant
I'attison, the stainless young leader who
stands at the head of the reform column
in Philadelphia, means precisely that
and nothing else. Liko the Black
Knight of old, who came to restore the
rightful sovereign to his own, this bold
tribute of the people will,be found thun
dering at the gates of tiie ring citadel,
battle-axe in hand, and when he makes
his lodgment within the black flag of the
bosses will be displaced by the purest
political banner that ever floated on any
breeze. Our Republican friends have
no reason to complain of us. If we do
not give them what we promise—an ab
solutely pure and honest government—
they have the power to turn us out, and
all decent citizens will help them to do
it. But there is little danger of that.
They tried Puttison once and instead of
finding reason to part with him they
discovered many powerful reasons for
adding thousands of Republican votes
to his previous majority, and the rest of
the ticket, leaving out the present
speaker, is fully up to the standard.
The beginning of reform in this state
was the adoption of the new constitution,
which despite the most tremendous ex
ertions of the ring, received something
like 150,000 majority. In the conven
tion which framed that beneficent in
strument Clark and Elliot were tall fig
ures and laborers. Every line of it is
dear to them. They are actuated by its
spirit, aud their influence will of neces
sity be exerted to complete the reforms
which they so auspiciously began. We
can have no quarrel with good citizens
who have hitherto chosen to carry a par
ty name different from ours. To such
we shall address our appeals in the next
four months, with the most abundant
confidence that they will be received in
the spirit in which they are made. We
admit that when united they have a ma
jority, but the present struggle for the
deliverance of the commonwealth from
evils universally accknowleged and uni
versally deplored is an occasion which,
like pestilence of war drives all true
men together for the publio safety.
Our Republican neighbors who are tax
payers and not taxesters are as earnest
in their desires for an economical gov
ernment as wo are; and thousands
will avail themselves of this opportunity
for a radical change which, under the
peculiar circumstances, we alone of the
three great parties in the field are able
to offer them."
Mr. A. B. Farquhar, proprietor of
the Pennsylvania agricultural works, an
earnest Republican, heingcalled for, an
nouncefl liis attention to support Mr.
Black for lieutenant governor, and he
thought every Republican in the county
should do the same.
Mr. Gep. Small, one of the firm of
P. A. & S. Small, said his residence was
Baltimore, but if he was a Peunsylva*
nian he also would snpport Mr. Black.
Col. Levi Maish, District Attorney E.
D. Ziegler, and Hon. JereS. Black fol
lowed with short speeches which were
enthusiastically rccieved.
The park surrounding the house was
beautifully illuminated, and the serena
ders invited in and tendered the hospi
talities of Mr. Black's house.
The Reduction of Tuxes.
THE KEI'Unt.ICAN SHAM 1111.1, TO AMEND THE
REVENUE AND TARIFF CONSIDERED IN
THE SENATE.
Special Dispatch to tho World.
WASHINGTON, July 14 —The Republi
cans and the taxes, this is the political
topic at this moment. "The stone
which the builders rejected the same is
become the head ol the corner." A
Republican House caucus, many weeks
ago, decided that there should be no re
duction of taxation during this session.
The people were heard from and it was
discovered that the vials of wrath were
about to be poured upon the head oi the
dominant political party. Then another
House Republican caucus decided to re
duce internal revenue taxes where re
duction would do least good, and a bill
was passed to that effect. A Republi
can Senate caucus met and in still great
er alarm resolved to add to this Intern
al Revenue bill some tariff provisions,
and thus yesterday the subject of taxa
tion was thrust upo.i the Senate for dis
cussion which is warmly welcomed by
Democrats. The issue is joined. It is
not an is?ue between protection and free
trade, not for or against u tariff for reve
nue only, not for or against an internal
revenue tax system, it is not an argu
mentative contest between methods of
imports or methods of direct taxes, it is
none of these things, but it is a taxation
issue. Shall there be or shall there not
be a reduction of taxation? Shall the
reduction he such as to relieve the peo
ple? The millions or the half dozen?
The legitimate purpose of a reduction
ot taxation should be to lift the burdens
from those who feel the burdens, not
with conspicuous partiality to lessen
tho taxes of those who grow rich just in
proportion as they are paying taxes and
and to whom tixt-B, theiefore, are not a
burden. Shall the reduction be limited
to two or three articles, a monopolist re
duction, or shall it be broad, philosoph
ic, democratic, extending to articles
where it will be quickly arid gratefully
felt by the many? This is tlie issue
which the debate in the Senate yester
day and today lias flung upon the
thought of the country and upon the
Congress for action. The elaborate and
effective speech of Mr. Bayard to-day
was broad enough and still sufficiently
attentive to details to give the Republi
cans much uneasiness and to indicate
the scope the debate will take on the
Democrat ic]side of the Senate. It was no
ticeable, at the close of Senator Btyard's
speech, that Mr. Morrill, who has
charge of this bill, rose and was immedi
ately approached by such poiiticans as
John Sherman aud Mr. Allison, and
thereupon for some reason he abandon
ed the floor. This seems to corroborate
the report that the Republican Senators
have agreed generally not to discuss
tiiis bill, but to try to pass it. As the
bill is a caucus measure this statement
is not unworthy of belief. But it will
not be possible for the Republican side
of the Chamber to sit in silence under
such speeches as Mr. Bayard made to
day, or such as Mr. Beck aud others
will make hereafter. Mr. Bayard closed
his speech with a happy and forcible al
lusion to a fundamental law of taxation.
He said, substantially, that while our
Constitution and laws sanction the tax
ing of private property for public pur
poses, neither the Constitution of the
United States nor the Constitution of
any State in this Union, nor the Consti
tution of any civilized State, written or
unwritten, authorizes the taking of pub
lic property for private purposes.
Moneys gained by taxation become pub
lic property, and this terse argumeutof
the Senator was aimed at flagrant and
alarming evils in our public expenbi
tures.
These two days have named the tow
ering issue in the elections of this year
and the Democratic motto "taxation, its
judicious reductions," a reduction which
will not too much cripple the revenues
—a reduction which will afford real re
lief to the masses. Upon this question,
so far as I can learn, the Democrats of
the Senate are substantially a unit, and
in their arguments and action will bo
harmonious. They will consistently
vote against the sham reductions and in
favor of the real reductions. The dis
cussion thus unexpectedly begun will
not improbably extend to our entire tax
ation systems, tariff and internal, and,
it being warm at present, the Democrat
ic Senators express their willingness to
remain here until it is cooler for the
purpose of arguing this question of tax
ation with the ltepulican party. No
Republican suggestion has been made
either branch ot Congress looking to a
genuine diminution of Dem
ocrats on the Ways and Means Commit
tee of the House and the Finance Com
mittee of the Senate have made sugges
tions only to have them defeated. The
votes in the Senate on the various phras
es of tho taxation question, as they arise,
will be analogous to the Committee
votes, and the Republican votes will be
in harmony with the Republican cau
cus action.
The Republicans are frightened and
floundering. Their caucus decided not
to reduce taxation, and this edict WHB
obeyed. The tariff Commission bill
passed and the House determined npt
to reduce internal revenue taxation.
The note of alarm was sounded and the
House caucus decreed that some mono
polies should be relieved, and on June
27 the House passed this fraudulent In
ternal Revenue bill, having on June 24,
three days before, resolved that Congress
should adjonrn July 10. How muck in
earnest the governing party must have

WHAT the early Republicans of the
Charles Sumner school used to rave
about as "plantation manners" were
outdone in the House of Representa
tives last week by the present leader of
the Republicans, Mr. Robeson, if we are
to accept a statement by the usually
well-informed Washington correspond
ent of the Springfield Republican. Com
menting upon Robeson's attack on
Wbitthorne this correspondent says:
"Nobody knew at the time how near
wo came to having bloodshed on the
floor of the House last week. Robeson
now says that he should have shot
Wbitthorne had he struck him. 'I
should have killed him if he had hit
me,' he is reported as saying to .Joe
Blackburn. FNerybody expected to see
Wbitthorne strike Robeson, as lie strode
towards him and charged him with
lying. Had the space over which he
waa obliged to walk to reacli Robeson
been shorter, ho might not have been
able to control his passion. Robeson
was armed. He went to tfie House pre
pared to defend himself. He knew
Whitthorne's passionate nature and he
knew that he should kindle the passion.
What would have happened hud Robe
son shot Wbitthorne down there in the
area before the whole House we can
only conjecture, but there would have
been more than one exchange of shots."
This statement has been copied into
more than one Republican newspaper
with apparent approval, and no friend
of Robeson has yet contradicted the
charge made in it that lie went into a
deliberate body intending to provoke
a member of that body to a demonstra
tion which would give him an excuse
for drawing and using a deadly weapon
within the area of the House. A mem
ber of Congress who goes into his place
"prepared to defend himself" with a
deadly weapon against the possible or
probable consequences of a speech
which lie intends to make, commits an
act of treason to the fundamental prin
ciples of free government.— New York

ONE of the most extraordinary sacra
mental services ever held in Kentucky
was that in which thirty-three convicts
in the Penitentiary were baptized by
-immersion. The "Mountain Evangel
ist," Karnes, had been preaching to the
prisoners with such ell'ect that these
thirty-three professed conversion. They
preferred to testify their faith and re
pentance by being baptized by immer
sion. There being no law of Kentucky
against baptizing convicts in this way,
the consent of tlie Penitentiary autho
rities was granted. The whole company
wss sent to the river in wagons, as there
was no suitable baptistery in the prison.
Each wagon was furnished with an
armed guard, ready to put rifle-bullets
into any of the convicts who should
manifest a desire to get away. Kut
there was to escape. The con
victs all behaved admirably. They were
marched down to the river one by one,
and as each reached the brink he was
then led into the water, immersed and
then led out again and seen safely into
the wagon.
"Asnv" Ct'HTix is one of those men
who never beat about the bush, hut
"talk right out in meetin,' " saying just
what they mean and meaning precisely
what they say. The other afternoon in
Philadelphia he remarked to an inter
viewer, "I am unreservedly for Pattison,
because I ain a Democrat, and because
the convention which nominated him
was a thoroughly independent one.
There was no hossism there. The young
and better element of the party nomi
nated him." "Andy" can do excellent
work "on the Btump," when the time
for "putting in the big licks" arrives,
and we trust he will give all the time
to that service he can possibly spare
from bis personal and ollicial duties.
