A Sensible Canal Policy.

The canal policy advocated by Comptroller
Robinson, in his recent interview with
HERALD correspondent, will commend itself
to all sensible men. 1t is one which, if pur-
sued from the commencement, would have
saved the taxpayers of the State great
amount of money, and which would have
been pursued if the intent of the constitu-
ton had been respected. Mr.. Lucius Rob-
inson would never have built the lateral
canals if he had been in power at the time of
their construction. He would now get rid
of these burdens upon the interests of the
trunk canals and of the taxpayers of the
State as speedily as possible. The trunk
canals Mr. Robinson would require to pay
their own expenses Of repairs and
management out Of the tolls re-
ceived so that they might not be
any burden in the future on the taxpayers.
1t has been asserted, because Mr. Robinson
has firmly resisted the policy of taxing the
people at large for maintaining and working
the canals, that ne was in favor of high tolls.
This is IN unwarranted charge Mr. Robin
son would put just as much tolls on the ca
nails as would pay their expenses, and not a
dollar more. With strict honesty and wise
economy in their management the canals
could under this system, and with the lat
eral excrescences Topped off, be run at
lower rate of tolls than has ever yet pre-
vailed. So far as our canal policy is con-
cerned Mr.. Lucius Robinson is sound

creased violence into the Middle and Eastern

MoRx EXPLANATIONS TO COME E-General
Butler is no sooner nominated for Congress
than the Boston Herald unkindly asks him
to answer a charge made against him in tho
that he had used his position as manager Of
the soldiers homes to put good deal of
money into his own pocket. General Butler
has too large fortune and too profitable a
practice at the Bar to make it probable that
he has made money out of tho management
Of soldiers homes but as he is to attend a
meeting of the managers at Milwaukee this
week he will probably make answer to this
charge. He is too shrewd not to see that
explanations" are in order just now.

Tho Procession of Sultans-Murad and
Haulfd.

On the subject of Sultans Of disordered
intellect the Koran is positive ; they must
be deposed No discretion is left as to the
time which may be allowed for possible re-
coyery, and thus the fact that Murad was set
aside, although distinguished alienists were
of opinion that he would recover, is not ne
cessarily to be explained by reference to
political intrigue, or to the resolution of the
extreme Moslem party to seize the oppor-
tunity to secure the throne for a prince be-
leved to sympathize with their aspirations.
The proper authorities acted in accordance
with the imperative commands of their law,
and it is fair to assume that they were sim
cere, at least III the absence Of any clear
evidence; that their zeal for the law was
strengthened by the coincidence that its
faithful performance could greatly help their
party People in England do not suspect
Mr.. Gladstonc's humanity because the
causes of humanity and of the liberal party
happen for the moment to be identical, and
this fair play may reasonably be extended
even to Ottoman statesmen.
uuiau coihPieteiy parted company with
his wits, it appears, at the moment when he
heard of tho death of his uncle, Abdul-Aziz,
which news he heard with the mourn
full exclamation, 'My heart is broken |"
But though he was from that moment
utterly lost in tho wilderness of dis
ordered thoughts he had not been for
many weeks previously altogether sane.
He was the victim of terror and of the agi-
tatlon in which men are tossed momentarily
from fear to hope for days and weeks to-
gether. 1t was his terrible fate to be born
near a throne which more resembles q gull
lotine than the safe seat of q rcigning sove-
reign. He was in line of succession which
oftener leads its heirs TO secret murder than
to happy succession of honors. lie knew

prehends that unprejudiced correspondents
are, in such o case, the only authorities Of
any value 1t has not happened before in
great while that o man Of Mr. Gladstone's
position-an ex-Premier and q leader Of ac-
knowledged authority-has come forth
boldly and denounced before Europe the
policy of the government of his own coun-
try; and this lends great interest to his
pamphlet, the substance of which we give
to-day. His declaration that, ''of all the
objects of policy, in my conviction, hu-
manity, nationally understood and in due
relation to justice, is the first and highest" :"
is the keynote of his whole case, and as such
lifts his review above the atmosphere of mere
party polemics.

not at what moment the dreadful likelihood
might dawn on the minds Of those in power
that his existence itself was danger to the
Sultan but he knew that if that moment came
his life would be of small account, and any
voice at tho door might be related to this
peril He came at last to live only in this
nightmare Of apprehension.
Dr. Capaleone, his physician, has de-
clared his opinion that the disturbance OF
the Princes reason began with this excited
condition, which itself was greatly aggra-
waited when he was committed to prison by
Abdul-Aziz some three weeks before his ac-
cession to the throne. To escape from the
consciousness of his condition he drank ex-
cessively and thus added to the trouble.
Upon his sudden release from prison he
thought he was on the way to execution; and
though it proved that he was on the way to
a throne the effect Of the fear was not less
severe. He had some affection for his
uncle, who appealed to him by letter foI
mercy to himself, his wife and children,
and when he learned of the murder the
blow was too much. He had been unable
to sleep before, and now this
alarming symptom became moro pos
tive. He was, as his physician reports,
absolutely" unable to sleep. Dr. Leidens-
dorf, of Vienna, having made an elaborate
examination, declared the malady durable
within period of three months but the
removal from the throne was nevertheless
deemed necessary.
Abdul Hamid, his brother and successor,
is but little known but the little that ID
known presents him in the light of typical
sovereign of rather the earlier than the later
sort. He is thirty-four years DID, physically
a Hercules and wonderful horseman. His
mother was Circassian, and he is said to
possess the energy of that race. He is re-
garded as opposed to reforms" and, there
fore, a thorough Moslem.

they felt moderately sure OF winning they
would argue; it is because they feel them
selves weak that they take to vituperation
and denunciation.
This policy of denunciation, this exclu-
sion of reform and concentration on the
Southern issue is, therefore, blunder Of
the republican leaders in several ways. II
alicnates large mass Of their voters; it
creates feeling of distrust and alarm
among the calculating or "loose" voters, and
it places the party in false relation to the
living issues of the day. 1t may exasperate
and alarm timid and ignorant voters; but it
cannot carry the country. No thoughtful
voter really believes that the country would
be seriously endangered or hurt if the demo-
Gratis should come into power; and that sort
Of nonsense, when it is gravely put forth,
excites as much contempt in sensible men
rs the equally foolish assertion Of democratic
organs that the country would be ruined If
the republicans should succeed. That sort
of stuff is always put forward by both
parties. Excitable speakers and writers
persuade themselves, as the canvass gets
hotter, that the salvation of liberty and the
safety of the Union really depend upon the
election of their particular favorite, be he
Snooks or Winterbottom, and the political
demagogue naturally sings in that key.
The truth is that whether tho democrats or
the republicans win the country is safe in
either case. But if the republican party is
to be for another four years party of pro-
scription in the South, party encouraging
misgovernment and trading on outrage
there, then it is by all means best, for all
our interests, North and South, that the
democrats should come in and this is the
opinion of great many thousand rcpubli-
can voters, without whom the republicans
cannot succeed in November.

South CAROLINA PoL1Trcs are very much

SOUTH CAROLINA PoLrTrcs are very much
mixed. The republicans talk of withdraw
ing Elliott, their candidate for Governor, on
account of his unpopularity, and the demo-
Gratis have decided to withdraw their cleo
toral ticket and candidates for Congress in
order to defeat Attorney General Taft's order
respecting the use of United States troops
to protect the ballot box. This may be
ompromise among some of the party leaders
on both sides to escape the disgrace of
Elliott's election by concentrating upon
Hampton but, whether this is the case or
not, the nows will be unwelcome to Tilden's
Jealous supporters.

FLOUR-The shipments of -four for the week
were 28, 200 barrels, being 1900 in excess OF
the previous week, and the largest shipment
III any single week during the year except the
week ending October 81, which showed 28, $40
barrels. Prices have ruled about as during the
previous week. Early in the week a dull east
ern market had a depressing influence on this,
but later adv c-s showed more activity in the
east with slight advance quoted for shipping
grades. This has materially strengthened the
feeling here. Millers are sending forward their
entire produce as fast as manufactured in an
tici patton of advanced freights. A fair supply
of wheat has been obtained upto this date, bat
stocks are daily diminishing. and unless deliv-
cries increase at an early date the production Of
four must materially diminish.
WEIEAT-The recei pts Of wheat by rail for
tho week were 800 bushels. with only
moderate wagon deliveries. Buyers at inter-
Tor stations report diminished deliveries by
farmers and disposition on the part of many
to hold their grain. There has been no change
in price in this city during the week except for
street wheat which we quote cents lower

the fact that there is no inspection Of street
wheat and while the offerings will, IS rule,

week was reported up to Saturday, when q
better feeling ruled, and on Monday an ad.
vance OF fully &c was established with increased
activity. The demand was mainly for specu-
lation, as buyers cannot get transportation if
they desired to make shipments east. The re-
ceipts Of wheat at lake ports from the new
crop fell several million bushels short of last
years receipts at the same date. Still. the
quantity in store far exceeds the amount Last
year In Chicago storage room is reported
short at this time, the elevators on the north
side being tull of grain. There are few facili-
ties furnished for railroad shipment, and at
