would have been defeated. As we said
yesterday, imitation is by no means dead,
and the people of the East who allow
themselves to be deceived by the stupid
deductions Of the so. called Great Dailies of
New York city will not have to live long
before they fad this out Meanwhile these
same Eastern people are being deceived by
these same journals regarding the Sou ,hrrn
situation. They do not believe that there
Is any foundation for the much derided cry
OF the Bloody Shirt, not even when the
dispatches printed every day show that
hundreds and thousands of their fellow citi-
zens have been murdered for opinions sake
or di frsnchised because they have seen fit
to vote in accordance with the dictates of
their consciences.
We have neither space nor time to do
anything more than barely allude to these
facts, but they are, nevertheless, worthy of
grave consideration. The day will come
when the stupid cyclists who manage the
Republican party in New York-or allow
it to be managed by its enemies of the OPP
position press-will be compelled to ac-
knowledge them. That day will show that
the Republicans of the Southern States
have alone preserved an adherence to the
truly consistent policy of the party, and
that, with the Administration, they will be
entitled to the credit of UNFOLDING free

THE details, received by mail, of the
Friar's Point affair, printed elsewhere,
show that Senator Alcorn and his White
Line supporters were responsible for all the
trouble, and that they acted in the aggressive
from the beginning. 1t is difficult for peo-
pie who live in law abiding community
like Washington, where Democrats and
Republicans are alike peaceably disposed,
to understand how such things can occur
among intelligent people, and the only ex.
PLANTATION of it resides in the fact that the
whites and blacks, with the exception of
their leaders, who we've engaged in the
affair, were so ignorant as to be amenable
to the basest influences. But however this
may be, the record which we print else
where places Senator Alcorn in a most
unfortunate attitude. Instead of using the
influence Of his high office in the interest
of reace, we find him consorting with dis
rel ,utable White Leaguers. gamblers and
professional assassins. After this can any
one doubt that he has deliberately and will
fully severed, by his own acts, bis connec-
ton with the Republican partyH True
Republicans do not rIde at the head of a

of the Nile cannot successfully hide itself
much longer. 1t must soon be determined
by the Victoria Niyanza, or by the chain
of lakes, Albert Niysnza and Tanganyiks,
Or by the River Lomame and Lake Albert
Niysnzs; and if Mr.. SANKEY'S life is spared
he will probably accomplish the work, and
the souls of African geogaphers will be at
rest The discovery of the source of the
Nile will add something to human knowl-
edge, hut there will he little or no economic
results. Some portions of equatorial Africa
may abound in fruits and cattle. but the
cost of transportation to market would be
too great. The price of billiard balls and
ivory carvings might be reduced by better
commercial relations with the country
around Victoria Niysnzs, but that is all.
No one would ever go for pleasure to see
the source of the Nile, hence the tide of
travel to that region will always be very
small. However, this great enterprise
commands admiration.
