THE DAILY NE WS KBiDAY, FEBBUARY 6. H85 I> there any bottom to the state treasury; If so what bind of a bottom Is it. Ko:k bottom, or special deposit? Public mlrnitnigemect must “go.” This applies not only to the state treasury and benevolent institutions but to the lingering purpose If any to defeat the law. “Ti rb the rascals out,” seems to be In training as the Indiana republicans’ campaign cry two j ears betce, and it is the democrats, unassisted, who are doing the training of it, acd the; are making a good job of It. It Is reported that Gordon was betrayed by his own men. Overweening confidence —both in himetlf and the men under him— has been bis great danger ali along. He seethed to think he could do anything and could Inspire eubordlnates with the same faith and zeal. A year ago. just after his arrival at Khartoum be said: ‘‘With ilOO,COO, ((500,000) 200 Mussulman sepoys from India at Wady Halfay, acd a single otllcer at Dongola, I can smash up the Mahdl, bring oil the Egyptian garrisons, and restore order In the Soudan.” Tbs state needs more money, and it ought to have it. It needs It In the elate treasury for one thing, In a very significant sense for another It needs it In city and county treasuries, and It ought to have It In all of them by operation of law. Where law U defective or lacking it ought to be amended or supplied At the same time the state can net stand an Increaee of the general burden of taxation, therefor.: “High license.” ‘•There's therubl” A $1,000 license for saloons would put many a community out of debt In a short while. High license brings lo the city of Chicago alone over 11,000.000. T ii it Toronto preacher who thanked God for the slaughter of the Arabs by the British, will have to correct the record since the news fnm Khartoum. One of his own countrymen (presuming him to bsan Englishman) thinks the spoliation of the Egyptians, af:er the English occupancy, of Egypt which be calls “the gigantic crime of the sge,” la of the most grievous of all oppressions. If the Egyptians show the abiity to resist their ipollero, It will all at once begin to be remembered that perhaps they are a lot if frightfully oppressed people, fightir g for the land that was theirs when civilisation first made it lU abode and when these her invaders were savages, dwelllcg in caves and living on roots. Nuthinb connected with dynamltlsm and “Dudley slm” U more amusing, If one may for a moment be amused at that which c ills constantly for the deadly opposition that hydrophobia does, than the perfectly furious rage of the dynamiters of Paris because “DuAleykm” has been applied to Jerry Donnovan of New # York. This red mouthed blatherskite can commend the indiscriminate slanghter of innocent men, women and children. When a woman attempU to apply the tame slaughter to him, the Paris contingent of the murder factory register s high oath to “avenge” the act by more slaughter of more innocent people. Civilization will yet find It necessary to Use those mad dogs by the mouth, pluck their fangs out and throw their carcasses on the scrap heap of oblivion. As things are going we haven’t heard or felt the last of them and either they or civilization will perish. • Whatever the effect of the capture of Khartoum may be on English parties, it can hardly be doubted that It will stimulate more energetic action than has been hitherto atUnpted. Partly from reasons of economy, and partly, probably from a good deal of uncertainty as to what ought to be done, tfce policy hitherto has appeared to be rather experimental. Whatever the restraint of stronger measures may have been, It U certain that the Egyptian war has not been punned with energy, and the papers Are pointing out the lapees here and there along the line of action. Now the emergency must compel large and active measures of relief to Wolaely, and of assertion of English power, unless it is intended to abandon the war, and let the Soudan move-

ment spread at will. The neve this mooing is of prompt dispatch of reinforcements, and great activity la the arsenals, and we may presume thst an adcqnate force to reconquer Khartoum will be collected at Gubat aa soon aa possible, If the Eo^lleh shall be able to hold that position. Wn think in this country that blunders He thick# la the path of public affaire, bat we bars sorely rid ourselves of tome of our inberlUnce of British blundering. There is no auch blunderer on the globe as the Briton undeflled. This Egyptian business has been a blunder from atari to finish. Wolaeley’s twelve day campaign, ending in Tel el-Keblr, which was greeted with the hosannahs of great victory, was next to nothing of the sort, acd was marked chiefly by a commissariat which, In its deficiency, ehowed that tbe Briton had learned little alcce the days of the Crimea. Gen. Gordon, who is as big a fanatic In his way as the Mahdl la in his, was allowed to go off on his Vulxotlc <{ueeL To cap all It has taken months to push s force to him which is not merely too late, but will be lucky If It gets off with its life. One can fancy h>w Molike, tbe “silent,” must smile at the dally reports of England’s Egyptian “campaign.” Had it been the German who bad undertaken this “pacification of Egypt,” the German, who works according to rule and square and calculates the amount of pressure to be used by tbe amount of force to be overcome; tbe white-headed, blue-eyed boy* of the “father land" would have been having their dally shower bath in the falls of the Nl'e long ago. Why then has England become the great nation of the world- Because of “main force and awkwardness.” She has strewn her successful pathway with the wrecks of more successes than she has conserved. She Is the “boss” blunderer and has been since before she threw away these American colonies, the ilcfiest jewe’s In her crown. 1 he bill to combine the offices of city and county assessor and city and county treasurer may not be in the best shape to accomplish ite purpose, but the principle of It Is right and can’t be made eUectlve too soon. We have no more need of two assessors of taxes than we have of two mayors, and as little for two keepers of public money. The amount absorbed by one set In salaries and .fees-fs so much clear waste, for which we get nothing but the additional muddle of a city valuation different from the county’s, when good sense, sound economy, and right dealing demand that both should the same. The city valuation of some property Is higher than that of the county. In some casts the valuation U higher tpm the price the property will sell for, higher than the owner asks for 1% higher than the assessor or anybody else would give for It. That Is all wrong. If taxes are to be assessed on a cash basis, well and good. Let it te so settled aid made uniform fer tverybody’s property. But if the tax value ruts below the cash value, as It la nuant to do, since the change of thw^jfttem of J>73, then it should run evenly bdow on all property. And It does not. We k >ow of real estate assessed at a value ih.r the owner can’t get and doesn’t ask. This unfair and irregular system mist be changed, acd it can he changed in no way so speedily and Cirtalnly as by making one valuation seive for all taxes. Add to this the clear saving of a city treasurer’s pay and office expenses by abolishing him and It, and we have the beginning of a common sense system of local finance that should have been insiuurated with the city government and maintained ever since. The multiplicity of officers Is simply a way of paying off party services, wiihout any recommendation In aeute or utility. _ Tun world does not grea ly care what the effect of the Mahdi’s success at Khaitoum may be on the Nile. It may establish a sovereignty there for the victor, and force the feeble pretensions of Egypt hack to the line of “lower Egypt," or it may bring on a collision with Abyssinia and the Irane-NMian tribes that will keep up au everlasting local wtr; or It may all end In a break-up of the Mahdl’a crusade by Internal dissensions, when ihere is no external enemy to re preeslhem. Allowing that England gets out cf the trouble as Biecdly and cheaply as she can, what the world cares for Is the effect It will have In England. Will It force the liberal ministry cut acd change the ma jorlty In the commons. In tbe general, election that will be sure to follow? It looks now as if there would be a change, voluntary or compulsory. The form is not Improbable, It we miy jutgh from-pa<t and present stories of Mr. Gla's'o&e’s weariness and eagerness for rest, and of the serious differences In the cabinet. But It that process of change falls, it will bs a rather anomalous occurrence In English political historr, if an adverse sentiment does not force the majority out, under so strong and general a sense of Its failure to meet the emergency of Gordon’s situation at Knartoum. Mr. Gladstone hue a stronger hold than party allegiance ou the regard of Englishmen, and it may support him against the misfortune that has met his Egyptian policy, but If it dots. It will be more than mere personal popu'arlty has often done for a minister. Mr. Gladstone, It is s^id, has been greatly embarrassed throughout the whole course of the Egyptian business. Bis own feelings were not favorablaAo an armed resistance by England to the movement of the dissatisfied tribes of the Boudau. He thought them wrtnged and wanted thun righted. Probably this feeling lay at the bottom of his assent to the strange scheme of Gordon, now so completely shattered, of Inducing them bv peaceful means to return to order and quiet. Now that his temporlz'ng policy, hoping to escape a war, has ended (u disaster, he may be w illing to accept each a termination and the hint of hL own age and exhaustion, as a command to quit. If he should not, it is hard to see how his ministry can hold on with any effect, with Chsmberlain at war with a part of Its policy and held a sort of fire braid by his colleagues, and with opponents of all grades united 1c hostility, either to Its Irish policy, tts franchise policy or its Ejfpjtlan policy. In spite of the futility oi epsculstlon in such a case one can’t help wondering if the contervatlves, allowing them to accede to

power, Win change the policy in the Nile, ■ad how? As theirs has been the party of meddling from Napoleon’* day down, it is not unmsonab.'e to ruppoee that they will go into the Egyptian muddle with more energy and larger forces than ever, and establish British domination all along the Nile from the Delta to the Nyanzssat the equator. It won’t be hard to do If they van put the Prophet out of Ihe way. Whether tbe opportunity will c^ype to them will begin to be apparent in a few days. It is already declared that one of the first things done when parliament assembles will be a motion of “want of confidence,” and that will be the crucial test. Bat there will he signs ud omens of significance before that. There will be a precious mess to clean up for such housekeepers as tbe Salisbury party, in the Irirh trouble at home and the Arab trouble abroad, the discontent of the Scotch crofters and the contentions with Gsrmaay about tbe African and Auetrallan colonies, and the liberals may be well pleated\o let the load drop on them.

Why the Indian Rebel*. The Car ad tan as well as American ladlacs suffer from the rascality of agents appcin'ed to lock after them. A short time slncf, one cf the Indiin agenti In the northwest gave au order on a paymaster to a UtmsUr for transporting 300 sacks of 11 -ur from the government stores to an Indian reserve, although but 100 had been taken. The teamster could not read, and on presenting tbe Older said he wanted pay for carrying 1(0 sacks. Tbe paymastei to'd him he was chiatlnghimeeB, aa he had carried ISW. Tbs boneat fel ow would only take pay for 100 sacks, and believing there was some crooked wrrk going on, reported the matter to one of tbe head official, who, H appears, was also In tbe ting. A mock trial was held before a self-constituted court, among the officials of the agency, and, as the agent who delivered the flour swore he had handed over 300 sacks, and the officer on the reaerve tts‘.lfied to having revived tbat number, the poor teamster was sentenced to prison for perjury. There was In‘this esse alone a clear steal of SCO sacks cf tl jur, which, valued at 1C per sack, netted the agents a profit of $1,200. On this same reserve, last winter, eighty Ind'ans did of s'arvatlon, the same game, no doubt, having been carried on for ieais. Dsnaiulte ana Dynamiter* Earls Figaro, in an article ou the ccm’ng congress of dynamiters, to be held In Pa^is, says: “The formal opening of the congress win take place on the 221 of February.

Tbe meeting will discuss the utility of explosions by djnam te In a'dlng the Irish cause, and the ques* tic ii of a union of the d)naaii ,e party with the Fenians.” Figaro adds tbat the ccngiess will also bring up for discussion and decision tbe question as to whether or not members of tbe English house of commons wbb veted fer the crimes act shall be execute d. A London dispatch rays tbat it is stated tbat Cunning ham has broken down in consequence of having been additionally Identified as one of the men concerned In tbe underground railway explosions.

[Baltimore Son.: “How much prettier they make housekeeping linens now than when I first went to housekeeping!” an old 1 dy was heard to remark at the linen counter of ooe of our large stores.

There ware satin damatk tablecloths, five yards long, costing $50, and the napkins to match at $18 a dozen. The quality was heavy, yet very fine, and the design, which was set very far apart, a bunch of grapes and leaves, while the borders were of oak leaves and a:orns. There were two of these, one near the hem and one that would show j ist on the top of the table at the (dge. A lunch-cloth of white mummy linen three yards square had a hand embroidered border In light pink bias and yellow, of wheat tops and grasses This was exquisite and cost $35 Aovre tbe embroidered border were two rows of openwork formed by drawing the threads out of the linen and catching the remalntng threads up in fancy des'gns. A deep knotted Iringe edged the cloth all round. Lunch and breakfast cloths are shown that are colored, yet not dark. They are of pink and white, blue and white, pink and blue, chocolate, blue and gold damask, « uh nap kins to match, and can be had In all lengths. Very pretty white ones of mummy or crape linen have plain camera, with fancy colored borders. These all have knotted fringes as a finish. One had a red border with polka soot# of old gold as large as a quarter, and a gold border with red spots.

News. On (Jape O d and tn many other districts along the New England coast it is firm’y believed that a alek man cannot die until the ebb tide begins to run. Watchers by beds of s'cknesa anxiously note the change of ths tides, and if the patient lives until the flood begins to set in again he will live until the next ebb. The most intelligent and best educated p> ople born and brought up on the New England cravt are not entirely free from this superstition, and to them there is a weird meaning in the words of Dickens in describing the death of Barkis: “atd it being hi.b water, he went out with ths tide.” —[New York Tribune.

IRELAND AND BME IRISH The Rtv Dr Fair on thm Clrcam»t*ai-e> and Trnabtns of Brin. [Balumoii- Sea j ' Ireland and the Irish,” was the subject of a lecture delivered last night by Rev. Campbell Fa'r, Marne!f an Irishman, at the AscsnMon church chare), Lafayette Square, In the presence of a large and Interested audit cce. Before proceeding with the lecture Mr. Fair referred to the rvcsnt dynamite explosion in F.agland, acd said a l good Irish ccrdemn such ac t. Ireland, *Luated across the ocean 3.000 miles to the northwest of the ets exn shore of the United States, is only 300 miles In its greatest length, and 210 miles la its greatest width. It is just about as late u the state of Indians. Maryland ia about half u large and Pennsylvania is one third larger than Ireland. About two million acres of land in Ireland Is nothing but mud. It, however, furnishes the fuel of the country, as the mud when dried In the sun becomes as bard as coal, and ia used to furnish heat Ths products of Ireland are verv remarkable, ihe meadows In Ireland produce as much as five and six tons of hay per acre, but an Irish acre is larger than an American acre, that la, eleven Irish acres would make fifteen American acres. Tbe climate in Ireland was the most even he had ever enjoyed. In winter the average temperature la 40 degrees, fell and spring .‘>0 degrees, and in summer the average la 70 degrees Tbe population cf Ire land in 1821 was 8.800 000, in 1831 7,706 (00. in 1841 8 190.663, tn 1851 6,514 000 in 1861 5 700,000, In 1871 5.400,000, and In 1881 five millions and a few hundred thousands. Famine, cholera and emigration has aided in decreasing the population of the ccuntiy. Tbe Irish never forget their old father and mother, and a large amount of the hard-earned mxoey obtained hers goes back to Ireland to supportthe old folks Religion was the cause of Ireland’s difficulty. He nevtr saw a place where religious prtdjucts ere as strong as la Ireland. There were in tbe country 4,150,000 Roman Catho Hcs. GOT 993 Episcopalians, 497,648 Presbyterians acd 95 864 Methodists, or 4,150,000 Roman Catholics and 1,251 892 Protestants, being about four Roman Catholics to every one Protestant. Tbe Protestant) generally live in tbe north of Ireland and the R unan Csthol'cs in the ecuthweet and east. In the the nerth Ihere Is industry, education, prosperpy sod coitentment. Facior'es a»e going, and the people aie as active ami as energetic as la this country. In the south of Ireland It Is jast tbe opposite. There is found Ignorance, M b, poverty and dl content. The Irish Protf siantffare cont-nted with things as they src. Roman Catholics are the very opposite, yet there are the same’a»s for the one as the other. Whenever there Is any agitation, and a leader Is nquired, they have to get a Protestant. Tbe K unan Catholics form ths rank and file. The government of England ia similar to tbe government of this country. Here we have a president, a senate and a house of representa'lves. There they hive a queen or a king, as the case may be, a bguse of lords and a house of c unmons. Here In the United S ates all presidents exerclse the right to veto measures, (jueen Victoria bas never vetoed a btil. Inmans, though the same in s‘ze as Ireland, has only lhlrte*n members of congress; Ireland, though of cor rse with a greater populit'on, is reprereuted bv 104 members in the imperial house. The Irish legislate for Eng!aid as*well as iln F.ogllsh for Ireland. The land lavs are a trouble in Ireland. NoLudloid In Ireland can fix the rent of his own farm. It la tied by a court, where the tenant is represented by one perron, the landlord by one and the govtrnment by ore. The court fixes the rent, and wh*n a tenan. is once in. he can rot be turned out for fiftetn years. If a lard ’oid wants to get possession he has to pay the tenant seven years’ compcnsitloti; so that if a tenant pays $500 per annum, the landlord has to pay him $3 500. It a tenant was to Improve tne land, the government will lend him three-quarters of the money neefssary for thirty-five years at 4 pe- cent. Ihlemt. For those whoarcpoir ana do not have l$pd to farm the goverumint starts public woks, ar dare thus constantly giving employ m?nt to such as need and watit it. Taxation in England is very much lik-r h’s country. There is as complete system ofrducatiou as In th's coustry. The nxticnal schooleye'em of education of Ir.daud Isa perfect system of he kind, though it does cot go as fai as here. A rutimaoury education is afforded to al', but those wishing to go higher than that have to pry. Ihe Language* la the Schools. [Harper'* Bazar.] “What’s the good of going to school?” one street boy aaked of ano’h r tn surprise. “Why, I pick up lots of things In school. For Instates, I found out today what a. m. means, what you see iu der papers all der time.” “What does it mean, anyhow?” “it means after midnight, of coarse; and p. m. means pos’d.orton, acd that’s French for evening.” - • Saratoga Chips.
