TIi c Seat of War In Fgrypt -
General R. E. Colston, formerly a
bey im Egypt, contributes the opening
illuatrated article in the March Century,
from 'which we quote the following
description of a portion of the present
seat of war: "He who has never trav
eled through the desert cannot form a
just idea of that strange and marvellous
regiotf, in which all the ordinary condi
tions of life are completely changed.
It is essentially a waterless land, with
out river3, creeks, rivulets, or springs.
Once away from the Nile, the only sup
ply of water is derived from deep wells,
few, scanty and far apart. Long droughts
are frequent. ,When I' explored; the
great Arabian Desert between the! 'Nile
and the Red Sea, it had riot rained for
three years;5 and when,"! traveled;

Cabinet Appointments and. State
- IJnes. , ;
The indigriatioL apparently genuine,
certainly vehement that' )s expressed
by some democratic politicians because
"their States have been! jignored? by
President Cleveland in his Cabinet ap
pointments exhibits a very distorted
conception of the relations, of the fed
eral government to the States. What
has a Cabinet officer to do that should
properly make his resident in a partic
ular State an advantage to, that State
over the others ? Absolutely nothing.
Therefore, if there is any substance to
the complaints of these politicians, it
must be Jhat? Preside At Cleveland has
disappointed their desire for improper
advantages, and if that is so he deserves
thanksT : ! t M -f
Geocrrarjhical situation tot merely
State boundaBes-dbtlessjhould have

ectfon of a Cabmeti- The true prin
ciple was concisely stated Toy President
Vashin2rt0h when he wrote:
"In th appointments to the grat of
fices of the government 'my aim has
beeu to combine geographical situation,
and sometimes other considerations,
with abilities and fitness of character."
President Cleveland has not been in
different to geographical situation. The
geographical centre of the population
of the United States I is not tar from
Cincinnati. Looking! at j his Cabinet
appointments in their distribution re
latively to this pointj four (those of
Ehdiott, Manning, Vilas and Whit
ney) have been made from the rorth,
and' three (those of Bayard, Garland
and Lamar) from the South; and the
same proportion holds as to the other
cardinal points of the compass from
the centre of population, three secreta
ries (Garland, Lamar, Yilas) having been
taken from the West, and four (Bayard,
Endicott, Manning and Whitney) trom
the East.
Thomas Jefferson - will! be acknowl
edged by all these democratic com
plainants to have been a sound democrat.
Ana yec, in training nis i,aDinei wnen
he became President in March, 1801,
Jefferson took three of its five members
from the single State of Massachusetts
Samuel Dexter, Secretary of the Treas
ury ; Henry Dearborn, Secretary of War,
and Levi Lincoln, Attorney breneral.
The Postmaster General did not become
a Cabinet officer till President Jackson's
time, and the first Secretary of the In-
tenor was President Taylor s.
And to aggravate; this inequality
Massachusetts did not! cast her electoral
votes for Jefferson in 1800, but for John
Adams; nor when the election was
thrown into the House of Representa
tives by the tie in electoral college was
the vote of Massachusetts cast for Jef
ferson even then, but for Aaron Burr.'
If State boundaries and State votes
in the Presidential elections should cot-
trol the selection of Cabinet officers,
this surely makes out a niuch stronger
case against Jefferson than the partisans
of that theory can make out against
President Cleveland. But, nevertheless,
the principles and practices of Jefferson
are set up constantly for the shibboleths
of the democratic party.
Why revile Cleveland in this matter
and continue to worship Jefferson at the
same time? K. Y. Iferald.

what promises to bea very valuable in

lowing circular:
One of the vital questions affecting
the present maintenance and future de

industries is the question how employers
are to secure an adequate supply of well
trained mechanics.'. The apprenticeship
system of the past, more or less modifi-

hitherto beenlmrisTelttmsively relied
uponTWhile in practice that system
is gradually becoming obsolete, there
is a growing belief among specialists
whtf have studied the subject that'the
system itself has survived its effective
usefulness and that the manual labor
school is destined to supplant it. : In
order to reach a settled conviction on
this important subject, however, it will
be necessary to bring ' together a con
siderable amount of trustworthy in
formation; and the accompanying in
quiries, to which your attention is re

with the view of collecting the needed
data. When a sufficient number of re
plies shall have been received to war
rant inferances from the facts, the re
sult will be published in a special re
port On Apprenticeship and Manuel
Labor in Schools. Issued by this office
in two parts, the first of these will con
tain a compilation of the apprenticeship
laws and decisions thereunder, a brief
discussion of apprenticeship at the com
mon law, and a succinct history of the
rise, growth, and decay of the system.
The last portion of the first volume will
contain a resume and analysis of the
replies that may be received to the ac
companing questions. The second part
of the work will give an account of the
attempts in this and other countries to
provide trade schools fitted to take the
place hitherto filled by the apprentice
ship system, and will discuss the vari
ous degrees of success which have at
tended such efforts."

Soudan War.
The fight which Gen. Graham had with
the rebels last week seems to have been
hotly contested and of more importance
than at first reported. ; An acconut from
Loudon says :
"The battle between the British troops
and Osmati Digna's forces lasted five
hours. The marines? were first sent to
the front to drive Arabs from the hill
west of Hasheen. As soon as possible
they were reinforced by batteries of
Gatdner and Krupp guns and by cavalry.
There was a hot engagenient for a few
hours, during : Which the British cavalry
charged repeatedly on the Arabs, while
the machine gons were ! worked with
deadly effect whenever their fire could
be made available. Great bravery was
displayed on both sides. At the end of
the engagement the Arabs retreated slow
ly towards Tamai. The Arabs loss in
killed and wounded is estimated at 500.
The loss of the British is 40. The Arabs
displayed desperate brayeiy. 'The marines
drove the Arabs from the hills and forred
jt'iem to retire to the pliiin. Then the
Indian troops charged upon the Arab
positiou, but were outflanked, and an un
suspected body of Arabs succeeded in
getting behind their Hues, The Indians
found themselves between two fires arid
they fled. During this retreat they were
closely pressed by the Arabs, who ham
strung the horses . and speared the
riders."
A Man With Many Medals.
"They say that republics are ungrate

is one of your distinguished generals,

"Where !" asked the American.
"There that gentleman whose breast

two hours during the day for meals

when the sky is clear, hunting for
comets. My observations on the sun

my meal hours, or, in summer, in the
