Recent events in connection with company promoting might lead the man in the street to suppose that of the million pounds of cash recently paid into the Anglo-Egyptian Bank in Alexandria and Cairo to cover the applications for the ten million shares in the last flotation, there will shortly be some £300,000 available for investment elsewhere. In our opinion this is absurd, for it toast not be supposed that all this application money is money awaiting investment. It is to a great extent money borrowed, money temporarily withdrawn from other uses, or money scraped together somehow in order to snatch the premium on every share allotted. The premium quoted in the market on recent flotations for some days before the subscription list was opened was in a great measure the secret of the enormous number of applications. People thought they conld be immediately selling their allotments, and would at once secure a handsome profit on the money successfally deposited for a few days. Neither the question of the soundness of the business nor the desirability of the investment ever enters the heads of these stags. The rush was to a great extent one of premium-hunters and not of investors, and we would suggest to those who may be arguing among themselves that if more companies similar to those recently floated are offered to the public they will meet with as good a welcome, is not by any means a certainty.
The stag has always been a puzzle to issuing houses in every financial centre, and no satisfactory means has as yet been discovered of eliminating him. The issuing capitalists do not desire to eliminate the stags among their friends, but they do desire to eliminate the stranger stag. For a time it was customary in London to make allotments as freely as possible to small applicants, and the stag, seeing this, split his big application into small sums. Then the issuing house took to disregarding the small applicant altogether, much to the disappointment of the stag, who abandoned his trickery. Seeing that most of the last Japanese loan was issued once again to small applicants, the stag at home must find some difficulty in knowing how to effectively apply, while the issuing house is put to some trouble in dodging him. There is, however, a new way, made in Germany. In connection with the important new Imperial loan, an arrangement is made by which those who do not desire to sell their allotments for six months pay 101 10 pet cent, while those who desire to sell before that must pay 101 20 per oent The arrangement not only givee the real investor an advantage over the mere stag, but it also enables the issuing house to discriminate between the two classes of applicants. Perhaps some day we shall adopt the system for Egyptian flotations.
The correspondent of the "New York Sun" at Saigon has arrived from Kamaranh. He reports passing at 10 o'clock on Sunday morning, 30 miles to the south of Kamaranh, nine large vessels, unloading a battleship and cruiser. He believes the vessels form Niebogatoff's division.

A few days ago a Greek, aged 25 years, threw himseld in frot of a goods train near Salt el Muluk, Teh el-Baroud, but the-engine-drive drew up in time. The Greek then rushed to the canal close by and tried to throw himself in, but ne was prevented by a passerby. He however, got free and finally succeeded in jumping into the canal, where he perished.
The stay in Alexandria of this interesting man in miniature has been prolonged for another 8 days, in cousequence of the general desire of the public to be afforded further opportunities of seeing so remarkable a sight. The little man will remain at his present quarters, adjoining the Aihambra Theatre, and no one should miss paying him a visit.
Discontented women, according to an American girl quoted here, should at once join a harem. "I" can assure my American sisters," she is reported to-say, "that they can dream of no greater bliss than to enter a rich nd well-bred Eastern gentleman's harem." Sue has tried the life herself, and is happy as the day is long since she became one of the wives of a potentate, described as Nasruilah Khan, "In a harem," she continues,"life glides softly, like a sweet, peaceful dream. Each wife has her servants. Our slaves obey our least sign of command, and they can never leave us. We can punish their least fault hy cutting off their heads, or, at any rate, having them flogged." This sounds alluring, indeed. Finally, it appears that bad temper, sceces, jealousies, bickerings, are unknown in a harem, and the lord and master is unflaggingly attentive, and never grumbles. The lady urges all American girls to find a harem instantly, and apply for a berth therein, if they want to know perfect bliss, ("Daily Telegraph's" Paris correspondent).
A correspondent at Zagazig writes :—
The greater the attempt to push Zagazig ahead, the more it falls back, and becomes remarkable for an increase of filth and darkness. The few petroleum lamps we have remain unlit when the moon shines, although she may not rise till 11 o'clock at night! This being the case, in Rue Tewfik, a street nearly a mile long, there are frequent collisions in the darkuess between foot passengers and carts, carriages, and donkeys coming from the interior, in Rue Tewfik are two of the principal banks and two churches; many well-to-do people reside in it, and yet it has been frequently pitch dark there of late.
The dyke is nothing but a place of convenience for the occupants of the huts and hovels of the quarter, and much indecency meets the eyes of the ladies and young girls coming trom the Greek and French schools, who have to pass nearly naked men on the road. And all this takes place under a regime in which British influence is paramount!
The following changes in the time-table of the Government Railways come into force on May 1:—
ALEXANDRIA LINE.
The train de luxe between Alexandria and Cairo and vice versa at noon has been abolished.
The afternoon express will leave Cairo at 6.35 p.m. (instead of 4.45 p.m.) and the corresponding train from Alexandria at 6 p.m. (instead of 4.25) and a restaurant car will be attached to each.
The 4.15 p.m. train from Cairo and the 3.46 p.m. train from Alexandria will be considered as express trains and will stop at a few stations (see time table).
The 3.10 p.m. mixed train from Cairo and the 2.10 p.m. mixed train from Alexandria will be proiouged, the first as far as Cairo and the other as far as Alexandria, to pick up and set down express train passengers. The 10 a.m. mixed train from Alexandria has been changed to 10.50 a.m. owing to the suppression off the train de luxe.
BARRAGE LINE.
All the trains have been extended to Cairo, consequently the train which used to leave the Barrage for Calioub at 7.22 has been altered so as to leave at 6.22 p.m., arriving in Cairo at 6.55 p.m., and the train which used to leave Calioub at 8 p.m. for the Barrage has been altered so as to leave Cairo at 7.30 direct for the Barrage, and the train leaving the Barrage at 2.55 p.m. will leave at 2.15 p.m.
TEH EL BAROUD LINK
So as to improve the service on this line, two new trains have been added, one leaving Teh el Baroud at 6.15 a.m. and the other leaving Cairo at 6 p.m. The present afternoon service has therefore been modified as follows. The 3.30, p.m. train from Cairo will hence forth leave at 1.45, p.m. and the 5.10 p.m. train from Teh el Baroud 5 minutes later.
CAIRO LUXOR LINE
A new fast service between Cairo and Minieh will be established.
The Khedive will leave Cairo by special tram on Thursday, 4th May, for Alexandria, arriving here at 11.30 a m. His Highness will be accompanied by the Resident of the Council of Ministers, the Ministers, and the Financial Adviser.He will proceed direct from the station to Ras el-Tin Palace, accompanied by his mounted esoort, and after lauching at the Palace will go to Montazah.
The Khedivah will arrive at Montazah on the same day. It is stated that the Khedive will probably make a cruise in the Mediterranean this summer.
Lord Milner will be received in audience by the Khedive to-morrow. Lord Milner is accompanied by Mr. Walrond, who was private secretary to the late High Commissioner. Mr. Walrond was formerly under Lord Milner in Cairo, having been on the Land Tax Adjustment Commission of the Finance Ministry from 1894 to 1897. He is the son of the Rev. M. Walrond and was born in 1870. He was educated at Harrow and Balliol.
Miralai J. J. Asser Bey, Financial Secretary, has been appointed Station Commandant, Khartoum, and Miralai Phipps Bey, Station Commandant, Khartoum, has been transferred to the service of the Sudan Government.
Mr. Weir, in the House of Commons, having asked on what grounds the facilities for coaling and revictualing afforded to the Russian fleet during its recent passage through the Suez Canal were withheld from the Spanish fleet under similar circumstances in 1898, Lord Percy stated that the circumstances of the two cases were entirely different in the receut case of the Russian squadron, cool was allowed because the vessels were entitled under Rule 3 of the Canal regulations now in force to an amount sufficient to take them to the nearest port where they could obtain the supplies necessary for the coutinuation of their voyage, —and the amount which they had on board was not sufficient. In 1898 Admiral Camara might have claimed under the general principles of international law coal sufficient to enable him to reach the nearest Spanish port or some nearer neutral destination, but for the fact that the Spanish warships had already enough for that purpose, and further supplies were, therefore, refused on that ground.
There is a vast discrepancy between the letter of the Judicial Adviser to the "Times" on the same question, and the answer of the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Did the discussion in our columns on the matter necessitate a legal change of front?

Yesterday, the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Consecration of St. Mark's Church commenced with a celebration of the holy communion at 8 a.m. At 11a.m. morning prayer was said by the assistant chaplains and an address was given by the Rev. F. B. N. Norman Lee (S. C. F.). At 5 p.m. for evensong the chapel was filled to overflowing. Among those present were H.B.M.'s Consul General at Alexandria, Rear-Admiral Sir R. Masie Blomfield, K.C.M.G., Lady Blomfieid, and Judge and Miss Batcheller.
At 5.30 p.m., before a representative company, the unveiling and dedication of the handsome and beautifully executed memorial tablet commemuratiug the jubilee took place. The ceremony began with the singing of the hymn for St. Mark's Day. The Consul Geueral, Mr. E.B. Gould, I.S.O., than unveiled the tablet at the request of the officers of the church. The Chaplain afterwards dedicated the tablet, and read some appropriate prayers specially compiled for the occasion. A photograph was then taken of the compauy by a local firm of photographers.
At 5.45 p.m. the rendering of Gaul's sacred cantata, "The HolyCity," began. The church was crowded and the chairs from the chapel were removed into the church to give further sitting accommodation. At the end of the first part a collection was made by four of the sidesmen of the Church and amounted to P.T. 810. This sum will cover all expenses incurred by the purchase of music, etc.
The Chaplain closed with the Benediction. Then ended the jubilee commemoration, which will long be remembered by all who were present.
The dimensions of the brass tablet are 26:40 inches. The block of dark marble in which it is mounted measures 35:50 inches. Immediately above this block of marble, and resting upon it, is an arched piece of marble, affixed to which is a brass bearing upon it the figure of the Winged Lion of St. Mark with an opened book of the Gospel.
The inscription on the tablet, which was executed hy Joseph La Macchia, gives the date of the foundation of the chaplaincy, the laying of the foundation stone, and the consecration, besides a list of the Anglican bishops who have been consecrated to the see, and the chaplains of St. Mark's since its foundation.
This company is being formed with a capital of £100,000, divided into 25,000 shares of £4 each, for the purpose of undertaking all property operations, and especially the purchase and sale of lands situated in the cities and suburbs, the improvement of land, building operations, the administration of property, transactions, loans on mortgage, etc. Several important schemes are being studied. Half the capital will be offered for public subscription at par. There will be no Founders' or Deferred shares or Debentures. The net profit, after deducting IQ % for the board, will be wholly available for dividend. The first board consists ot Messrs. Alexandre Rustovitz Bey, George Nungo ich Bey, George Royle, Charles J. Nicole, Maxime Charvaut, Anthony S. Constantinidi, and Demetrius E. Casdagi. The managing director will be M. Charles J. Nicole, of Messrs. Nicole and Naef, Geneva, of which firm he is one of the heads, and which he has managed since its foundation in 1881. Tho firm is one of the largest in that city and is engaged in property operations.
We beg to draw the attention of our readers to the important change in the notice in today's paper of the proposed issue of 19,308 further 5 1/2 % Cumulative Preference shares of £10 each by the Egyptian Delta Light Railways, Limited. Hitherto the notice has stated that deposits must be made between the 15th and 26th inst. The time has now been extended three days and owing to the Easter holidays the lists will be closed on the 29th inst.
The following note to Lord Cromer's article in his Report on "Gambling in Futures," will arouse considerable local interest: —
M. Vercamer, the very able Belgian judge on the Mixed Court of Appeal, who has studied this subject with special care, has drawn attention to the harm which results from the employment of a number of "remisiers" or "half commission men" by the brokers at Alexandria. This view is confirmed by many other excellent authorities. This system affords an easy means to gain, for a time, considerable incomes by half commission broking. At first good-natured people pass business to the new comer, and he makes large brokerages. Then come fewer orders, and he has to speculate to maintain his income. The principal reason these "remisiers" flourish is the abnormally high brokerage of 1/2 per cenk on the value of the transactions paid at Alexandria, as against 1/4 per cenk, which is the customary rate at most Exchanges. If the brokerage were limited to 1/4 per cent there would not be a sufficient margin to permit of the brokers paying so highly for the servioes of "remisiers."

The following is the report of the directors of the above company, which is to be submitted to the shareholders at the eighteenth ordinary meeting which will be held at the company's offices, 134, Palmerston House, Bishopsgate-street, London, RC., on Friday, 28th inst.—
The total sales of land, including those of previous years, are as follows 3,420 19/24 feddans sold for cash, £47,665.3.6; 14.476 5/24 feddans on deferred payments, £446,310.19.2, Less discount on ditto £5,617.18.7—440,693.0.7, making 17,897 feddans, at £488,358 4.1. During the year ending 81st December, 1904, 2,723 feddans wore sold on deferred payments for £123,882. Of this area his Highness the Khedive purchased a further 510 feddans and he now owns a fine estate of 2,800 feddans of Aboukir lands, as an adjunct to his favorite residential palace at Montazah. Other sales were made to Europeans of 1,369 feddans, in hods of 300 to 500 feddans, for £57,900. About 900 feddans were also sold to natives, of which 800 realised about £60 per feddan, and the remainder about £45. These sales included all the land let or fit to be let, but the company will receive a proportion of the rents up to the dates the sales were made. The arrears of instalments due by purchasers on the 31st December amounted to £17,140, of which £4,675 has since been paid. After long negotiation the Government consented to the construction of the new syphon and head sluice referred to in the last report, and the work is now being proceeded with as rapidly as possible. The value of the unsold land will be materially increased by the large expenditure involved.
Mandara Division.— Pending completion of the syphon, no new land was taken in hand for canalisation. About 4,000 feddans were in various stages of reclamation, and, of this area 2,600 feddans were sold during the year. Two staff houses, of which one was sold with the land, have been built with the necessary offices, stables, and servants' houses. The construction of staff houses has greatly facilitated sales of land and the company has at different times built ten, of which seven have been sold with the land. The tramway through the centre of the division has been a great boon; without it, the rapid development of the land would not have been possible.
Bahari Division.— Reclamation in this division has been retarded by the uneven state of the land, which required a great amount of levelling, but the position has now improved and more rapid progress will be made.
Wastani Division.—There are about 5,000 feddans in this division, and it is expected that at least 1,000 feddans will be canalised this year. A new staff house and some esbehs will be built, and the tramway will be extended along the bank of the new canal for a distance of about two miles to the Mahmoudieh Canal.
Cattle —In compensation for the cattle lost by the compvny in 1903, referred to in the last report, the Government have ceded a long a narrow piece of land containing abont 665 feddans along Aboukir Bay. In January there was another outbreak of cattle plague and the company lost abont a dozen cattle; later on malaria and foot and mouth disease caused sickness and some deaths, but the plague has now almost disappeared from Egypt. The young stock has done very well, and will more than compensate for losses by death and old age.
Work and responsibility having greatly increased during the year, as evidenced by the large sales of land and the heavy expenditure, Mr. Richmond has been appointed sub-manager, a position well earned by his continued good work and application for over six years with the company. Of the original 30,000 feddans possessed by the company, only about 12,000 now remain unsold, and the directors have felt that it would be a pity not to utilise the valuable experience acquired in land reclamation. They have, therefore, in conjunction with two other Egyptian land companies, acquired a valuable property in the province of Gharbteh of 1,677 feddans, with the intention of extending reclamation to adjoining areas when opportunity presents itself. From the accounts presented the profit and loss account shows a credit balance of £23,048. 17s. lOd., which, added to £3,780. 17a, brought forward from the preceding year, makes £25,829. 14. lOd. The arrears of dividend due to the Ordinary shares to 31st December, 1903, amounting to £9,057. 14s. 2d., or 10a lOfd. per share, srero paid in January, 1905, and it is now proposed to pay dividends for the post year of 7 per cent. on both the Ordinary and Deferred shares which swill amount to £11,769. 2s, leaving £6,002. 18s. 8d. to be carried forward.
The site and buildings known as the Palais ds l'Anoienne Boone at Alexandria have been sold by the landlord, M. Laurens, to a native capitalist of Cairo for £24,000 All the expenses and costs of the transfer are to be borne by the purchaser. The block embraces a site of 1,882 square pics and includes the "Le Khedive" cigarette manufactory, the stores and bar of Messrs. Walker and Meimarachi; and the offices of the "Egyptian Gazette." The reason for the sale was that M. Laurens finds his present premises too small for the cigarette business and he intends building a large cigarette factory in the neighbourhood of Messrs. Degiardi Brothers' works.

The marriage of Mr. William H. Quintana, third son of Mr. J. Quintana, late British Consul and Eastern Telegraph Superintendent at Chio, Turkey, to Miss Mary Louisa Prior, only daughter of the late Commander R. T. Prior, took place at St. Catherine's Cathedral, Alexandria, on Monday last at 2 p.m. The bride, who was given away by her brother, wore a handsome gown of white satin trimmed with mousseline de soie and real lice. Her court train was of satin and mousseline de soie, and her wreath of orange blossoms was arranged over her long embroidered tulle veil. The bridegroom was supported by Mr. F. R. Acheson, as best man. The principal bridesmaid was Miss Mabel Lamb, who looked very pretty in a beautiful robe of pale pink chiffon silk. She wore a white chiffon hat trimmed with white ostrich plumes and ospreys and carried a bouquet of pink and white roes. The two little bridesmaids who acted as train-bearers were the Misses Lily and May Ablitt. They both looked very sweet in white accordian-pleated silk frocks, and white picture hats of chiffon. The bride's mother looked charming in a mauve silk gown and mauve hat to match, and carried a lovely bouquet of red and white roses.
After the ceremony at the church the guests were invited to a reception held by Mrs. Prior at the New Khedivial Hotel. The newly-married couple left shortly after 4 o'clock for the Beau-Rivage Hotel, Ramleh, where they are staying until their departure for Liverpool to-day by the 8.8. "Anatolia."

We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by our correspondents, but we wish, in a spirit of fair play to all, to permit- within certain necessary limits- free discussion.
To The Editor of The Egyptian Gazette.
Sir, The leading article published by you on the 22nd inst. in which you refer to the Capitulations as one of the numerous institutions which have survived their utility to become absolutely pernicious, well expresses the conviction, which daily grows stronger the more the anomaly of their existence in a country practically governed by England is readvised that they must go, and that before long. My first feeling on reading the portion of Lord Cromer's report devoted to the question, was one of disappointment at the somewhat tame and colourless nature of his lord-ship's remarks on-a matter on which it is well known that be holds very decided opinions. There are, however, many considerations which may have influenced him and induced him to practically invite an expression of public opinion before taking any decided course of action. For one thing, considering that at the present time we have in England a Ministry in power that nobody trusts, and which is impervious to blow after blow from British constituencies; a Ministry that will apparently submit to every possible humiliation, rather than give the offices to which they cling like barnacles on a ship's sides, impeding all attempts at progress; and that possibly this state of things may continue to exist until the Blue Book on Egypt in 1905 is published,— taking this alone into account one can well understand that many reasons may have suggested themselves for the postponement serious action. But the Capitulations have to go, and the sooner the fact is realised, and arrangements are made for the substitution of some system more in accordance with decency and morality, the better.
It does not seem to me that the solution is far to seek. Foreigners are content to live in England and to abide by the laws, of the country, or be judged by them if they transgress them. Surely if laws were framed in Egypt by which a foreigner transgressing them could be tried here, with the same guarantees for justice being administered as are given in England, no one would object to live in the country under them. No such question is that of arbitrary arrest could arise if the habeas corpus act wee introduced, and it ought not to require by any means an elaborate system of jurisprudence to cover the ground required, and to give full consideration to the just requirements of foreigners in Egypt.
Undoubtedly such an arrangement would tend to give us a still firmer footing in Egypt, and why not? If we are to stay in Egypt and to make our influence felt for good, why not boldly accept responsibility for the good government of the country, and see that that government makes for, righteousness and not iniquity, purity and not vice! At present we are shirking our plain duty and only doing things, by halves. It is because I cannot help seeing that we cannot leave our task unfinished, and anyone with half an eye can see that with our withdrawl from the couutry things would quickly slip back into chaos, -that I would urge that we should be thorough in our action. The small and noisy clique who would have England become the owner of, instead of the trustee for, Egypt might possibly acclaim the establishment of British administered laws as a step towards that end, but it need be no more than a step in the direction of helping the Egyptian people to understand the principles of self government, and in preparing the way for that realisation of the national hopes which it should be our every desire to foster. Whether we have any right to be here at all is another question. We are here, and having assumed great responsibilities, we have to see the thing through, and faithfully to fulfil our trust. I see no reason why, as Egypt progresses and her police and military forces become more efficient the British Army of Occupation should not be reduced until it merely remains of the strength necessary for State functions and other 'show' purposes.
I hope that few people will take the line of your correspondent "Judaeus Appella," whose letter appears in to-day's "Gazette." The spirit in which it is written is just the very one which has brought Egypt, to its present position, and made the ceuturies of mis-government from which she has suffered, possible.
But I think the writer is right in drawing attention to the vagueness of Lord Cromer's suggestion, as to "the creation of some local machinery which would take a part in the enactment of the laws applicable to Europeans." Local machinery for administering the laws I could understand, but for their enactment!!! Criminal law should be the same thing at Assiout as at Alexandria, at Cairo as at Suez "Common sense," whose letter appears in the same paper, simply looks on the surface instead of beneath it. Because Cairo is free from the Piccadilly scenes which disgrace London, be seems to think that it compares favorably with the English Capital. There was nothing hysterical about Mr. Sims' letter. I myself have watched the crowds that nightly pour into a notorious quarter of Cairo. I have seen the terrible sights to be witnessed there, and the utter moral degradation that is only too plainly visible. And I say deliberately that the sight is a disgrace to the Egyptian Capital, and the British influence that is powerless to prevent its continuance. If, as alleged, and as I fully believe, the Capitulations stand in the way of the cleansing of the foul plague spots of the cities of Egypt, the utmost support should be given to those who would clear these obstructions to good government in Egypt out of the way, and give a healthier tone to the morality of the country than that which now prevails.—I am, etc.,
To The Editor of The Egyptian Gazette.
Sir,—As a traveller interested in the progress of this country, I hope you will allow me by means of your valuable paper to make known my hearty appreciation of the views of your correspondent "T.A." on the subject of drunkenness, and of that, I understand, is now being done in the way of suppression of two of the most prominent causes of moral degradation in Egypt, viz., the import of hasheesh and of white slaves, which, it is gratifying to learn, do not in any way contribute to the revenue of this country.
I am told that, as regards the former, a simple prohibition having proved ineffectual, in consequence of the temptations of bak sheesh offered to the Coastguard by smugglers proving too great, the Egyptian Government decided, very wisely, some twenty years ego, to enter into competition with them by offering a higher rate of baksheesh to the Coastguard sailors, to be derived from the public sale and expatriation of half the quantity of hasheesh seized, the other half being destroyed. This measure not proving as efficient as was expected, in consequence of the expatriated half finding no other market than Egypt, it was, not long ago, decided to destroy all the seized hasheesh, and to supply the baksheesh from the Government treasury at an annual cost of about -£4,000. This wise and liberal action has, I am told, produced the desired result, recent statistics having shown that the terrible form of vice known as "hasheesh smoking" has been practically eliminated from the country, whilst the prohibited article itself is no longer to be found in the native shops and cafes, which, formerly, made a large profit from its surreptitious sale at a high price.
As a consequence of this success I understand that it is the intention of the Egyptian Governemnt to endeavour to extend the good and useful work of the Coastguard, by entrusting it with the suppression of the still more terrible "White Slave Trade" import, in connection with which an International Comission has, quite recently, been instituted at Alexandria, and that, with this object the Water Police Service of that port, as a tentative measure, has been transferred to the above department by the Ministry of Finance.
This is as it should be, and it may be reasonably expected that future statistics will show, by a diminution of "entant trouves," that this measure has been as substantial as the other. But, it is evident, that, in fairness, the competition with regard to Government baksheesh should be, when applied to the white slave smugglers, followed by a corresponding increase in the annual grant to the Coastguard for the additional service. I would go even furtner, and suggest that the Government grant ahould be extended to the police service of the Interior for successful seizures at slave procurers and procuresses, an especially large baksheesh being awaraod to tne capturer of the white Osman Digua.
I would, also, with a view to the ultimate entire suppression of the "entant" in whose behalf the elite of society at Alexandria has been during the last few days to humanely devoting both its energies and pecuniary resources, venture to suggest that the W.S.T. Committee should be urged, in your columns, to utilise the services of the intenor police in an endeavour to trace the paternity of these unfortunate waits to its source, and to bravely combat, as we have had to do at home, the vicious propensities of the sex for which the white slave market alone exists.
Might not, I ask, this important Commission be divided into two sections with the above object, to be called, respectively, the "Virgin" and the "Joseph"? the former being specially aided in its operations by the Coastguard, and the latter by the police. This suggestion I venture to put forth as a practical measure for the consideration of those who so nobly interest themselves in the excellent work of the suppression of drunkenness and vice in Egypt.-Your obedient servant,
To The Editor of The Egyptian Gazette.
Dear Sir,—In your issue of last Saturday's the writer of "Under the Mosquito Net," after pointing out the regrettable fact that the Capitulations were standing in the way, and seriously interfering with the accomplishment of very urgently needed reforms, said: 'Everybody knows this, but the question is, How long is it to remain a reproach that under British influence Egypt is still a hot-bed of immorality and vice, a morally plague-stricken spot unmatched in any part of the civilised world? Surely the time must soon come when we shall cease calmly to look on and do nothing, while all the rascaldom of Europe laughs in our face at the puny efforts we put forth to suppress their villainous work"
This is, a rather a serious indictment. But one can never afford to let the kindliness that is in one's heart soften the asperity that is in the facts. Calling bad things by their right names, is the first step towards getting rid of them. Indeed, it is a sad commentary on the doings of so-called Capitulations and on British Occupation in particular, and on our Christian civilisation in general, which suffer such evils to go unchecked. While there can be no doubt that the British Occupation has done and is still doing an immense amount of good under the wise leadership of Lord Cromer, it cannot he said that it has done its full share of duty, unless it is in a position to take full and radical measures for the suppreesion of the vices complained of, and for , the provention of money-making in drunkard making. It is hardly necessary to say that the great problems of society are at the bottom moral questions, and that duty is the cement which binds the whole moral edifice together, without which all the fabric of existence crumbles away from under our feet, and we find ourselves in a cedar swamp from which we may never find our way out.
As we all know, there is a great difference both in the mental and moral as well as in the physical stamina of men. Some can dodge raindrops and find four-leaf clover on everybody's lawn, while others stumble over straws and cannot pick a rosebud without being pierced by a thorn. Man is to a large extent a creature circumstances and environment. The men and women who live on a purely animal plane and think of nothing but the baser self, whose souls are in thraldom to their body, bound hand and foot by animal appetites, cannot be elevated by argument, and most be kept in a sphere where the conditions of brute existence will not endanger more precious things. Hence the necessity for stringent laws on one hand, and for other philanthropic forces,—forces which make for righteousness,—on the other hand. One of the greatest evils of the preseat day is the liquor traffic. It is estimated that it is responsible for 35 per cent of idiocy, 45 per cent. of lunacy, 80 per cent of crime, and 90 per cent of pauperism in America. And it is considered that the most sucoesslul method of combating intemperance is through legislation, education, and moral suasion.
An Institute for the moral, mental, and physical training of the Egyptian youth, without distinction of race or creed, would be no doubt, like a perennial fountain of sweet water in-the desert land. Let us have it by all means. While the world is full of loose talk of the diituicUona of blood ; while the man is judged not by his inward character but by the colour of his skin, the shape of his nose, or the race from which he is sprung, yet true philanthropy to-day gives the lie to all such outward distinctions, and we are learning to recognise that after all, we all are sons of the one, all-pervading "Father," and are our brother's keeper.—I am, etc.
