THE sLAYBACK TR4GEDr.

The special telegram to the GLOBE this
morning from st. Louis puts an entirely
different aspect upon the tragedy in st.
Louis last Friday. 1t is tie statement of
W. d. Clopton, the friend who accompa-
MED Slayback to the Post Dispatch Office.
and who knows more of the intentions of
The dead man than any other person. He
naturally desires to make the fairest posi-
BILE showing for his dead friend, and conse-
quently denies that Slayback had pistol.
He, however, admits that Slayback visited
the newspaper Office for the pur-
pose OF making a physical
assault upon Cookrill, and says that
hewas in the act of pulling off his coat to
make the attack when he was shot. Other
reports show that on previous occasions
when Slayback and Cockrill had met, Stay
back had threatened the editor. Even
granting, if you please, that Slayback was
unarmed, MIR. Cockrill had every reason to
believe that he was about to be shot down.
Clopton admits that Slayback's position
when pulling off his coat brought his hand
IN the neighhorhood of his hip pocket,
where pistols are supposed to be carried.
and would very readily lead the man about
to be assaulted to infer that a pistol
was about to be drawn. Even if there was
no conflicting evidence, few people would
believe that Col. Slayback visited the
newspaper Office for the avowed purpose
OF making an assault without carrying a
weapon. Taken in consideration with the
testimony of others, it is very evident that
Clopton simply lies in behalf of his dead
friend IN order to make a bad case for
Cockrill. No jury can be found to convict
Cockrill, even if there was no other ev-
ldence than that of Clopton. The dead
man went there to make physical assault,
and there was no reason, divine or other
wise, why Mr.. Cockrill should not
defend himself. There is scarcelv
doubt that if he had not done so he wou,d
have been killed himself, and he ouy ht to
be promptly acquitted.
There are those who would arcue that
Cockrill invited the assault by bitter s..
tack on Col Slayback, but this is not true.
Slayback at a public meeting had violently
denounced the POst-Dispatch and its edi-
tor, using personalsvituperative language.
In response the Post Dispatch reproduced
with scarcely any comment, card pub
ished by Jno. w. Glover, prominent cit
izen of St. Louis, over a year ago. That
card was personal to Slayback, but it had
been printed year before signed by a
responsible and well known citizen, and
Col Slayback had never called him to &C.
count. Why he should have become so
suddenly indignant at its repetition is not
easily explainable. If he had assaulted or

Gen. Low. Tuning to Dullier Bey, an

told him to surrender his sword. He was
then asked whether he understood that he
was to surrender Internationally. He re-

clemency Of England. He then began
speech to the effect that all men
wore brothers, but was stopped by Gen.
Lowe, who stated that his only mission was
to receive his surrender. He then asked
to be allowed to send to his palace for
some of his servants. This was allowed.
AS he was leaving he started at the drawn

EGYPTIAN BOND HOLDERS.

munication from "A Fortunate Speculator.'
who says: Although your paper has al
most alone been independent enough to
criticize hostilely Mr.. Gladstone's Egyp-
tian policy, now so popular both with the
lingo and the imitation jingo parties,
think even that you must admit that this
policy, damaging though it has been to
the liberal party in this country. and ut
terly ruinous though it has been to the
national party in Egypt, yet has been a
perfect God-send to one large
and deserving class in this country
and France namely, the poor Egyp-
tian hondholder. I will relate my
own experience as bondholder
within the last three months I have no
doubt but that it is a fair sample of what
others have done. and your readers will
not be surprised that entertain the high
est feelings of gratituds for Mr. Glad
stones spirited Egyptian policy. On the
first outbreak of the Arab rebellion 1 sold
my Egyptian bonds at 20, never thinking
it possible that a Gladstone and Bright
government would force upon any govern
ment ruler and form of government to
which they were unanimously opposed.
However, in a few weeks I changed my
opinion. Alexandria was bombarded
Bright resigned, the guards were put un-
der orders for Egypt, our one general
} bucllled on his sword ana I bought back
my bonds at 46-with some trepidation ]
confess. However, events marched quick.
~. The Indian troops were brought over
again by Lord Beaconsfelds worthy sue
cessor, the much-abused Cyprus was
utilized as base, the Suez
canal was seized in defiance
of all international agreements, the unfor
innate Egyptians were mown down By
} shrapnel shell from Woolwich and the sa
bres of the life guards. Tel-el-Kebir was
fought, Cairo was entered by our army
; amid the curses of its population, and my

have now sold again, and shall reinvest my
capital in something safer than unified
bonds; but byGladstones policy made 2.
per cent. by the fall and per cent, by tn,
rise, and now have in cash at my bankers
e1,100 to represent every 600 had in
vested in Egyptian bonds. Can you b.
, surprised at my gratitude to Beaconsfeld'
worthy successor in eastern policy-Wll
liam Gladstone? something should b,
done to hand down to pysterity mark O.
, the bondholders' gratitude, and propos,
that statue of the grand old man shoult
be erected at the entrance of the stock ex
change. To this will gladly subscribe

THE DEMOCRATIC OPPORTUNITY.
''The quiet SOW gets the most swill'' is a
homely yet truthful proverb, applicable in
an eminent degree to the present condi-
ton of political affairs. We always find
the parties that make the most noise in a
political campaign subsisting on husks,
while the quiet workers, who say but little,
are luxuriating upon the fat ears of corn
thrown into the trough.
Ever since the present campaign began,
the Democrats have been shouting them
selves hoarse over their forthcoming vic
tories. Early discussions among the Re-
publicans of Pennsylvania held out a
hope to the Democrats, and they at once
began shouting as if they had already car
ried the state and were in the enjoyment of
the sweets Of Office. In Ohio there was a
diversion of German Republicans land that
was seized upon as another opportunity
for sky splitting huzzas. The quarrel be-
tween the New York stalwarts and half
breeds was another signal for an outburst
of enthusiasm,which has been kept up pref
ty constantly ever since. Confident ofvictory
the Democrats, as is their wont, are neg
lecting the most important work of all, q
thorough organization, while their oppo-
nents, warned by their defeat in Ohio. are
closing up ranks, sending munitions hith.
er and thither. and rapidly quelling mutt
ny by means OF brides and intimidation
threats or cajolery. Day by day the muir.

That progress is being made by the Dem
ocrats does not admit of a doubt But
instead of disgracefully and disastrously
routing their opponents, they have allowed
them to get into a position where an order
ly retreat is possible. The prizes to con
tend for this year are not, it is true, yer,
great, but they are the outworks of thu
central fortress that must be occupied two
years hence by one party or the other, ant
afford vantage ground for future opera
lions. 1t has frequently happened tina
IN Off years the Demo
Gratis have captured these outposts
and fancying the battle already won, they
have rested on their arms, only to be driver
out in disorder when the decisive battle
occurred. It seems now probable tina
New York and possibly Pennsylvania may
be carried by them next month, but thi.
will be of small account unless the victor,
is followed up. 1t is we'll enough to de
vote some time to stirring up strife in the
ranks of the opposition, but it is far NOR.
essential to organize, consolidate and dis
cipline the attacking army. The Repub
licans are held together by the cohesiv,
power of public plumber, and present
solid front when attacked. The Democrat
cannot expect,with an unorganized mob, t,
overcome such a phalanx, but must devot
all their time between the present ant
election day in 1884 to preparations TO
the conflict that is to. decide the destiny O
the country for four subsequent years, an,
perhaps for all time to come. They can
not afford to fritter away their present op
portunity.
