THE OHIO FIGHT.
What the Incorporation OF the Liq nor
Dealers Association Means.

COLUMBUS, O., February 26-The filing OF
the papers Of incorporation by the Liquor
Dealers Association with the Secretary OF
State, Mr.. Newman, and the granting of
certificate by the Secretary, clearly defines
the stand that the Democrats propose to
make on the legislation now demanded and
TO which the Republican party is
committed. The incorporation OF the
all saloon interests means war
against the Republicans and the defeat OF
any Constitutional amendment by the
present General Assembly. This last move
on the part Of the Democrats is creating no
little comment on all sides and the further
developments in the preliminary arrange
ments for the next campaign are looked
forward to with no little concern by the
Republican managers. it is less than a
year ago that Secretary of State Townsend
refused to allow the issue of a certificate
to the Liquor Dealers Association, after
having referred the matter to the Attorney
General. II is now quite probable that the
Attorney General will bring the matter be-
fore the Supreme Court in quo Wdndnto.

Shocked and Horrihed.
This outrage upon society and upon the
self.respect of the nation has shocked and
'horrified every generous heart in Washing
ton; and so it will do throughout the
length and breadth Of the land. There was
never witnessed in any community such an
expression of blasting indignation as pre-
walls in Washington against the authors,
originators and ventilators OF this wicked
and detestable slander. In the hotels,
the street cars, the saloons, the street
corners-shame! shame! shamel is the ex-
clamalion. The conduct OF Guiteau was
not as infamous as the author OF this WICK
ed calumny. Guiteau was murderer, but
he was the victim of diseased vanity, and
fancy that he had been injured, The
scandal monger that invented this vile and
absurd calumny, without even the pretext
that he had cause of offense, tried to rob
others of that which was dearer than life.
Guiteau was brave. What he did, he did
openly. The authors Of this diabolical out
rage sneaked behind the masked battery
of newspaper, which, it seems, was willing
to make traffic of such a disgusting CAL
umny.
There is but one opinion here in Wash
ington in regard to this.
UNPARALLELED Enormitys
among those whose good opinion is worth
having. In fact, there is one common
ebullition OF feeling, of sympathy, OF kind
and generous support Of the President.
The yileneSs of the invention OF such
slander-the cowardliness of assailing those
who cannot condescend to resent, or even
to deny 1.-THE depth of corruption which
the press in our country has reached-seem
to produce a moral shudder, as 1t were.
The friends Ct President Arthur
hardly know how to conde-
scend to notice IL. To deign to deny 1t
would be to dignity it beyond what it de-
serves. OF all the men in this world Pres
ident Arthur would seem to be the last
man to be the object of such an assault.
A man remarkable for his uniformly kind,
polite, unpretending bearing with every
body; man cOnciliatory, unagsressiye and
unaSsuming; a man attentive, punctual
and unostentatious in the observance
of Chris life and duty; man, of whom
it is well known that he cherishes,
with a sacred and almost romantic seati.
ment the memory OF the lost mother OF
his children; a man noted for his retiring
mOdesty, amid the scenes and parades OF
fashionable life. That such man as this
should be hurted even to vilitcation,
within the sacred preciscts OF domestic
life. 1t is to be regretted (for it is snbject
on which his friends capnot talk to HIM

THE FALSE PROPHET.
Zebehr, the Egyptian, Undertaking to
Reduce the N Mahdi TO Subiection.


CAIRO, January 25.-In spite OF the cou.
leur de rose assurances of the Anglo-Egyp-
tisn officials, it seems that the situation in
Kordofan and Darfour is now more desper'
ate than ever. Private dispatches from the
Soudan enables me to assure you that the
recently reported defeats of the Mahdi or
False Prophet are, 10 say the least, prema-
ture. Together with the black troops, who,
after being dispersed last September at Tel.
el-Kebir and Damietta, were again enlisted
and sent to Khartoum, there are over
twelve thousand regular Egyptian soldiers
now in the SOudan. But this completely
equipped army, instead Of winning battles
as was expected and reported-is held at
the present moment completely in check
by the active and warlike Central African
Messiah. Moreover nearly
Three Thousand Egyptians
have been attacked at a place called Aboo
Harrsz-thirty miles southwest of FL Obe-
yad the capital OF Kordofan-by the False
Prophet at the head Of some twenty thous-
and negroes. The Egyptians at the first
onslaught laid down their arms, welcomed
the Mahdi as their chief and were forth.
with incorporated as the "left wing OF his
bodyguard." The influence of the Mahdi
is spreading like wildfre. His followers
march about the Soudan like the Salvation
Army-praying preaching and exhorting.
Tens of thousands of negroes who were be-
fore mere pagans, have now become stall
wart Moslems. with all the fire and fanati-
cism that belongs to a newly adopted faith
This new blood is now making itself felt
and renewed preparations are being made
in Cairo not only to prevent the wave OF
invasion from coming north Of Khartoum,
but to prevent the doctrines of the Mahdi
from taking root in Egypt.

OTHER ITEMS FOR WORKlNGMEN.

ST.. LOUIS, February 26.-The long e1-
pected start in the rail mill Of the Vulcan
Steel Works was of short duration in spite
of the repeated and earnest efforts of the
bosses and new hands engaged in the
works. The prediction of the Union men
that the attempt to make rails with green
and inexperienced men would be labor
of difficulty was fully verified to-day. Rail
making is the most difficult work in the
steel mills, as it requires not only accu-
racy but great dexterity In handling the
blooms as they are passed through and
from the rollers while in the process OF
making. The failure was not unexpected
even by those most interested in the sue.

failure. The novices, Notwithstanding the

a bungling manner. The FIRST three rails

was equally as bad. One Of the men in

Other Misbaps Occurred,

necessary on several occasions TO send back

chilled. Should time and persistent efforts
meet with no better results in the work OF
making rails, the company will doubtless
find it necessary to secure the services OF
