Wlli you kindly explain In THE DAI HER the caused of the present state affairs In Egypt , and the relations th Knglaml , France , Turkey nnd the Unit States sustain in retard to the present bit fttlon there , nnd oblige. Yours roBpeclftuly , A SfnicninKR. A full explanation , such as is nski above , would monopolize our who editorial pngo. The situation in Egyj briefly stated is this : Egypt is a part of the dominion < Turkey , just as Canada is part of tli dominion of England. While the su tan is nominally tlio head of tli Egyptian government , and Turkey supposed to bo the protector of Egyj in ctiacs of foreign wars , the khodivi as the vice-regent of the sultan , ! the rent head of the Egyptia government nnd England and Franc are do facto the powers that nsaum to exercise the ( role * of projector fc lljo Egyptians. The interest whic Eugland and Franco have in Egypt i their mortgage upon the country am their ownership of the Suez canal England and Franco are the principn creditors of the Egyptian government The -debt aggregates over § 300,000 , 000 to which was added the persona debt of the khedive which aggregate $44,000,000 secured by mortgage upoi his private estates. Under an arrangement made witl the khedive in 187'J England an Franco took charge of the finance of the country by appointinj receivers of public monici nnd managers of revenue. The governing orning council of the Khcdivo or whal might bo called his cabinet has of lati jplit on the question of continuing the relations of Euypt with France and England. Arab ! Boy , thouecrotary ol var , hoadodj a revolt against the vhodivea policy , hnd under his inopir- ition a taiwBftcro of some English nub- ecta took place recently by the rovo- utionury party , who also cut the talc- ; raph wires and threatened to destroy ho Suez canal. Forts wore being irectcd ut Alexandria with thu the ovi- lent object of olfensivo and defensive rar , and the British admiral , antler nstructions , ordered work on these ortfl stopped nt the risk of having the sity bombarded. The Egyptian wiir mrty overpowered the khedive , who otirud into his own stronghold , while Vrabi Boy , nt the head of the Egyp- inn urmy , defied thu British and con- inuod his war preparations , The iritish admiral bombarded Alex- ndria , and the Egyptian army , ftcr a vain resistance , Bet ho city on fire and then etroatod. This is substantially the ituatiou. It'is self-evident that all iuropo is interested in the protection if the Suez canal , which has become- ho main thoroughfare to India , franco with her African possessions s almost equally as interested as Eng- ind in maintaining control of the anal and preventing Egypt from es- obhshing an independent govorn- lont. A conference of the great ewers has been called to consider the ituation. If the conference should usiat upon a joint occupation of igypt until some permanent govern ment can bo secured , the country moat ikoly to bo selected to join irith England would bo Italy. Next o the influence of the British govern- uent , indeed if not paramount to it , lorinany holds a key to the situation. 3ho controls practically the action of Austria , Russia and Italy. Franco is soiatod and Spain is no where , but Germany by throwing her weight into iny of the scales now depending on uropp , can incline the balance which vay she picas03. England will hardy - y nttomp.t to seize Egypt for herself , . 'ho foreign , policy of thu present ; ovornmunt is pledged against ny further acquisition or onqucst. In all probability England vill land oudiclent troops to insure the tcrsonul safety ot her subjects and to irotcul the Khedive , but beyond this hu cannot go without violating her ibligatiuim to other European powers , 7ha United States are in no way In olvcd in this conflict. Their relations nth Egyj t have not been disturbed , xcepting so far as it atlected the resi- ent Americans in Alexandria , The olicy of this country has been to keep Icar of all European disputes and ara , and they will therefore have no art in this controversy. A KKW immigration bill to take the lace of the bill lately vetoed by Pros- lent Arthur is being prepared by 10 House commerce committee. Ex > ocretary Conkling is drafting the new ill for the committee , but wo pro- nno Mr. Ooiikling will pocket a undsomo foe for his labors , The oamship companies who deairo to mtrol the immigration to this coun- y are a very wealthy combination , hey have employed Mr , Oonkling io .tend to this business , and through is influence defeated the first bill , hat was a big point for the steamship onopaly , but if Oonkling can frame 10 amended immigration bill In their itorost it will bo a bonanza for his ients. to the lletalil the oublo with the nugro is that ho is it a white man , and that is his dilli- illy us an American voter , Ttiat is his trouble before the war and at was the reason of his slavery. at it was supposed that the war ttled some things , and among the things it most certainly settled w that this odious distinction on accou of color was wiped out , ns least i lar as the negro franchise waa co corned. And so it really is in tl north and west , whore ho is as fn in its exercise as the white ma : In the south the Jlcndd'n statomei it true , and pity 'tis , 'tis true. lie : in Nebraska it is strange news to i that the trouble with the negro as a voter is the color of his skin , CORRUPTING THE SOURCE OF POWER. Kesolvcil , That we demand Iho crmc rnent of a law that xvill make the tender i n rallro.vl pass or frco transportation I any pabllc officer a brlbo punishable i tl same manner as the tender of money < other articles of value , If a church member of Fromon should tender his minister n foi bushels of now potatoes , wo do m ; suppose that the good people of tha city would look upon the donation n a bribe , nor would they consider i impossible for thu minister toconcoivi as vivid an Impression of the short comings of the donor as ho wouli otherwise have had. The prcsontatioi by a , railroad company of n pass to th < officials of the ? tnto ormumcipalilyia ) | in much the emau t , ich a dona tion would bo a tucognition , not t , favors expected of the donee , bu rather of the Importance of the oflici which lie holds. To say that an of ficial cannot perform his duty to tin people , and at thu same time accept t railroad pass , is to place a pro'tyov \ cstimato on the virtuu ot the com mon citizen. A better rule than thai proposed by the Fremont league would bo to leave the matter of the acceptance of the railroad pass on tiruly to the discretion of the official , liepublican The virtue of the common citizci is not above temptation. The grcal body of the people are moved bj agencies. The craft of power is dis played in securing the organs of pub lie opinion. Subsidized and venal editors are the voiy agencies througli whom the public virtue ia subverted. To say that a railroad pass given to o public officer , who has no moans to reciprocate except by favoring the railroad in bin official capac- itty , is not a bribe , is to say that a railroad pass has no value fhu courts of this country have time xiid again decided that railroad passes iru only given tor aomo equivalent , vliicli thu railroad company has al- oady received or uxpccta to receive. Now what equivalent does I ho rail- oad receive or expect to receive from ho member of the legislature , the governor , auditor , judge or other of- icer when it tenders thum passes ? Do they expect that thosu officers will eciprocato in some way and if BO how An they reciprocal ? An annual pass s given to a member of the legisla- uro from Omoha to Ogden or Mon- .ana. . If the member has any busi- IOBB on the road that pass is worth rom $500 to $5,000 a year. Can ho member accept such a valu- ) lu favor without fooling under ibligatious to return it ? Does not ho tender of such a pass constitute , bribe a.3 much as the tender of nonuy or other valuable thing ? If a church member of Fremont haul J tender his minister u few bush- ils of potatoes or a barrel of apples rould not the minister feel himself indor obligations to the donor ? Hu night reciprocate thu favor by pray- irs or ministrations to his flock , but 10 miniatur with a soul as big aa a pin- load could receive nud accept n valu- .bio present without feeling ; ratt-ful. And why should the ; rtiul army of office-holders ido free over the railroads it thu expense of the people who pay ? 's not this system of giving passes to lublio officials the entering wedge hat railroad managers mo to cor- uptly influence the legislators , con- ; ro8smen , state officers nnd iudgcn rho aru in the leant pliant and cor- uptiblol It is because these bribes ap Iho foundation of our rholo system of government hat anti monopolists demand ho enactment of a law that wil nako thu tender of passes punishabl ho same as it was a tender of money r other article of valuo. To the ailroad editors who have sold them elves soul and body this may ap ear very absurd. But every honcsl lan who desires to cheek the reign ol orruption and jubbory will recognize lie imperative necessity of putting i top to this wholesale bribery of pub s officials , Ouu dispatches Announce the death f Mrs. Abraham Lincoln at the old omo of the martyred president. Mrs lincoln had boon an invalid almost vor since the tragic death of her hus- and , and of lati ) she has undergone mch physical suffering. Robert Lin- Din , her son , thu present secretary of ar , is now the only survivor of the unity that occupied the Executive lauaion during the historic period .voiity years ago. To him the pro > und sympathy of the American eoplo will bo tendered in his sad bo- mvomont. Hon. Lorenzo Orounao , iobrarft 1'loneer. The politics of our state uro shap. tg themselves in such a manner as to istify the people to make n fight for lumselvoa. Hon. Lorenzo Crounto , resent internal revenue collector , id formerly mumbor of congress om this state , is now prominently jforo thu people of this district for ingress in place of Mr. Valentino , id from our advices ho is going to like a better fight than our present ingrossman enjoys. It is reported .at ho will soon visit Knox county and become better acquainted wi the people here , and as h record ia the best of at man now before the poopl except , perhapi , General Thayo the Pioneer believes him the comir man. Liberal in his views , and fr < from these damneing influences th : characterize Mr. Valentino's canvasi ho will bo a candidate the people < Knox county can well place confident in. The respective congressional dli trict being independent of each otht will make the third district more loci fian had they been called in conncctio with the Btato convention. It will b comparatively free from these infill oncos which would naturally wield great power in the state convention the two great monopolies of the stat being to a great extent out oflhe _ fiol o' power. Judge Groun&o will there fore bo a people's candidate , and hi popularity will certainly have much t do in forwarding his interests. Al ways having boon a friend to Knn : county , our pcoplo can fool at homi with him in power , It is our belie that Judge Urounso will also botto harmonize the party's interest ! throughout the district rather that split them up as they now are , am bring about more unity in general tbar it is feared Mr. Valentino will bo abli to do. The latter kas too many f riondi to reward who have records not above reproach , even though the Valentine organs are trying to make out to the contrary. The people , however , know bettor , and exonerating bad mon will not provo to the masses that sucli transactions are beneficial to the par ty's good. The Now York Governorship Cornell the Coming Man. New Votk Special Chicago limes. All the signs have for some days pointed unmistakably to the ronnmi- nation of Cornell as the republican candidate for governor. Hugh Hast ings , editor of The Commercial Ad vor- tiser , the Arthur-Conkling organ , is regarded as a particularly good author ity on stalwart politics. Ho said to day : "Cornelltrill load the ticket. There is no such thing as Senator Conkling'a opposition. On the con trary , it is very largely duo to the common sense and the shrewd politi cal sonau of that gentleman that the shriekers nnd howlers wcro unable to awitch a p > rbion of the party off the Cornell track. Thu senator seea the importance of carrying Now York and Pennsylvania this fall , and ho is wise enough to cast his advise , his counsel , uid his influence for ultimate republi can victory. So , after careful survey af thn ground , ho shrewdly says 'Cor nell , ' and Cornell it is to be. " "Without opposition ? " "I don't say that. There will bo Wadsworth mon , B'olgor men , and all lorts of mon ; but they won't bu united , they will fuss and fume , and in the ; nd hurrah for Cornell. This slito is : ertain to go republican this fall. The jarty ia strong ; per BO , its nominee vill also bo strong. Besides , itianec- iasary for 1884 that wo carry Now fork , and there is no question in my mnd , and I believe everybody agrees vith mo , as to our success. " The Monopoly Spider , tfew York Times. Deep and dark figuring is being lone by railroad men to secure the icxt state legislature.

A FEARFUL "FLOATER The " Big Ditch " Gives Up I First Victim. A Fisherman Rescues a Bed from Crawfish and Leeches. Ghastly Inquest on th River Bank at Sun rise. The Vordlct of the Coroners Jurj A coroner s inquest was held at a ; early hour Saturday on the rive bank near the mouth of what is knowi as the "Big Ditch , " the outlet for th North Omaha creek sewer across tin river bottom. In this ditch a ghastlj object was found floating and theri was little doubt aa to the cause , Ira Williams , a fisherman well known along the river front , was ex amining his lines Saturday aboul 7 o'clock and was In the act of pulling in ono ho had thrown nt the moutl of the North Omaha creek , a shor distance above the shops. While a ! this work ho saw a "floater" in tlu ditch and not over twenty foot fron the river. The water was not dooj enough to lot the body , for it wai evidently that of a human being , sink , and the fisherman with a polo dron the horrible object to the bank am' secured it , after which ho vent to the office of the Smelting works and noti fied Coroner QJacobs by telephone. I'ho latter at once repaired to the spot ind impannolled a jury consisting of F. D. Kent , JO. 0. Mejroath , Potoi Dowdall , John Dowd , James Iloran , Tames Piorson , who proceeded to ox- unino into the facts , 'Jra NVilliaina bo ng the only witness examined. From the papers and articles found m the body it was identified as that > f William H.

There were several notes and luo bills , ono of which was evidently xrid within the past few months and > ere the name of S. C. Palmer , of \Iarion. \ In the pockets wore two pocket- } ooks , a watch and chain , and ton lollurs and over in bills and coin , ono if the coins being an old dime evi- lently carried as a kuepsaku. There vas also a miscellaneous assortment of rinkets , such as scissors , spectacles , natch box , ring and so on , The watch had stopped at 10:47 : xactly , and it is supposed that at hat hour the unfortunate man met lis death , and it is believed to lave occurred Friday night , as the > ody was neither swollen nor decom- loaed. The man were a dark blue ioat and voat , striped pants and white hirt , collar and necktie. A bloody ace and eyes protruding from their ockcts were the causes of some talk i murder or foul play , but this is not irobably true , as had the motive been obbory the man's pockets would have icon rifled. A time schedule of the ] . , St. P , & M. road , and some esti- aates on two miles of road ndicato that the deceased was railroad boss or contractor , nd that ho had figured on the con- truction of the now Milwaukee line 0 Omaha. It is believed that ho amo to this city , got intoxicated and nmdered off in the direction of the iver.

Young , a real tate broker of Cedar Rapids , arrived the city to claim the remains on half of the femily and take them nno.

The cook , Mary Recap , claims that the fire broke out within five minutes after ho had left there. The prisoner , on the contrary , claims that ho left hia room with his wife about 3 o'clock to pay a visit to a friend who lives in Boomer's block , and that ho know nothing about the Qro until a byy came and notified him , and as to the origin ho could only say that ho was not at homo and know nothing about it. Ho is about twenty-five , years of igo and has only been married a few , veeks. There is no doubt upon the lart of the officers that ho is guilty > f the alleged crime , and it is claimed -hat the cause was that the restaurant vas not paying and ho thought in this naunor to got out of it. A BEE reporter called on Chief Sutler , and from him it waa learned hat ho proceeded to the restaurant ind on examining the promises dis- iovcrcd under the bed in Hollander's oem a tin wash-pan filled with rags laturated with kerosene oil , and th irtgin is pretty plain.
