GEN. CHARLES GORDON.

Over in the Soudan, in Khar-
toum, ON the White Nile, this ia
nous general is now threatened with
humiliation. As the special agent
of the British Government General
Gordon was dispatched up the Nile
ON a nilsson of Cancellation and re-
assurance to the Soudanese, and for
Il short time after his arrival in
khartoum and the issuance of two
remarkable proclamations declaring
that the rights Of the natives would
be protected and the slave trade
again allowd, it seemed to the world
that General Gordon, with hand
full of men armed with the diplo-
macy of piece offerings, would
prove conquering hero against the
army and cause of the false prophet,
El Mhadi But reaction occurred
and to-day the situation is of the
most alarming character for the per-
sonal safety of General Gordon.
Even while this article is in type
the news may be flashed across the
Continent that khartoum has fallen
and with it brave Chinese Gordon.
General Gordon was the Youngest
son of the late Lieut.. Gen. II. W.
Gordon, Il. A. After receiving q
military education at Woolwich
Academy lie served in the Crimean
war with great credit. In 1860 he
visited China and by a bold and
dashing, yet judicious support of
the Chinese Emperor in the Taip-
ing Campaign he earned great honor
and credit from both the British and
Chinese governments, and hence
forth was known is "Chinese Cor
dom His reputation now grew
worldwide Tho late khedive of
Egypt, lsmail Pasha, called General
Gordon to his aid in abolishing the
infamous slave trade and strength
ening his decreasing power. After
q labor of five years on the White
Nile, in Dariour and Cardovan, he
had partly accomplished his mission
and returned to London, as the
present Khedive, Tewik Pasha, was
not hvorably disposed to him.
The present Egyptian complica-
tons induced Gladstone to again
send General Gordon into the coun-
try as q conciliator. His loss would
be calamity to his government.

The following extract from the
manly speech Of Thos. G. Sherman
before the New York free trade
club voices the sentiments of many
earnest tariff reform republicans
throughout the country.
"If the Democratic party will not accept this
mission, hut prefers 10 follow the counsels Of
Pennsylvania and to chain itself 10 the chariot
Of monopoly. going before the people with a
platform destitute OF all principles aud showing
no glimmerng Of moral sense, with nothing at
its head but standard oil barrel or Flower
barrel l for one shall take more pleasure in
helping 70 defeat il than did in our old cam
paiugs, in the hope that its useless body may
soon be buried and make room for q new and i'm
dependent party organization with principles
for the sake of which its leaders are willing TO
endure any number of temporary defeats IN
the certainty of final victory. But If thatparty or
any new party will carry the banner of Free
Trade, with such candidate as Morrison from
the North or Carlisle from the South shall gladly
follow its lead.
It Is question of lie or death for the Demo-
cratic party to be decided at this session of Con-
gress and its approaching national convention,
whether 1t will accept the magnificent opportu-
nifty afforded to it and opena new career, at once
honorable and victorious, whether IL will &C
cept principle which it is prepared to live by
and to carry forward to final victory, or whether
il will refuse to trust the people, and so forever
fail to be trusted by them"

Arthur and Lincoln, proposed
combination for the republican
national ticket, meets with con-
siderable favor. The domination
and defeat Of this ticket at the polls
would make an appropriate finale for
the farce in which the Office holders
are playing the role of followers OF
Abraham Lincoln. Having no prln-
ciplcs on live issues on which they
can appeal TO the country, and fear
ing that voters will find it hard to
see why they should continue to
support a party for the simple rca-
son that they admire the position
which il held on issues settled gen,
Grafton ago, the republicans of the
present day would attempt to have
old issues vitalized by having Robert
Lincoln play second fiddle to dis
graccd collector of the port of New
York, SO that the Offices may not
slip from their grasp. # Lincoln
and his friends had a spark Of man
ly spirit about them they would re
sent as an insult the suggestion tina
he take second place ON tickc
headed by Arthur.

The Evening Wisconsin is Il re-
publican newspaper, but it does not
believe in countcnancing fraud
whether perpctratcd 10y republicans
or democrats. In its issue Of Friday
last, referring TO the charge that the
republican managers of Milwaukee
attempted TO carry the recent cleo
ton III that city by the use of traul-
ulent tickets, The Wisconsin says:
to- days developments in regard to the split
ticket conspiracy NJ the recent election are not
very crcditahlc 10 the republican managers.
Notwithstanding their repeated statements that
no split tickets were issued by them, the bust
ness manager Of the Freic rrcssc, where the bal.
lots were printed. states that he had orders from
headquarters to priut i5n. coo straight tickets and
1000 splits lie holds the orders and copy as
evidence OF the fact"
This acknowledgement is credit
able to The Wisconsin, but it is rather
hard on the leaders Of q political
party that breaches SO much about
the sacredncss of the ballot box.

Republican politicians feel con
lidcnt that the democrats in congress
will fail to pass the Morrison tariff
bill; but these same politicians We're
Just MS hopeful that sam Randall
would be elected spcakcr,and thus all

The Lacrosse Chronicle, referring to
the talk about n lack of harmony Ill
the democratic ranks, says:
"Our republican exchanges are making II great
touse oyer what they claim as lack OF harmony in
the democratic party upon the question of tariff

this question was struck at the election of MIR.

The resolution to increase the i'm
port duty on wool was defeated III
the house on Monday, by a vote OF
12G 10 119. The railroad companies
holding unearned grants of land have
been called to account; the bonded
whiskey bill has been killed, and
a resolution adopted against redu-
cling the tax on spirits distilled from
grain; and the the move to increase
the wool duties has been defeated.
Were ever Hobbies treated in such a
high-handed manner by republl-
can congress? Charges of cowardlce
or time serving will rest lightly on
the democratic party Ill tile coming
campaign if congress will continue
TO the end of the session to serve the
whole people with the singlc-hearted-
ness which has 50 far marked Its
course. The election of democratic
congress in 1882 was regarded as a
great victory for the people. 1t now
looks as though that victory will not
be barren Of good results, but will
bear good fruit in the shape Of wise
and beniGccnt legislation.
