The CITIZENS ASSOCIATION.

The Citizans' Association of Sacramento
has thus far done good work. 1t has proved
conclusively that municipal affairs can and
should be conducted on business princi-
Piles, and without the intervention of po-
htical party agencies.
For instance, how much more direct, re-
liable, clear and satisfactory is the report
of Messrs. Flint, Mcclure, Lub.n. Nc
Neill and earle on our levee system and its
needs than would be the action of poit-
ical Convention, the Overruling and actual.
ing motive of which must be the advance
ment of party ends and the securing of
party triumphs. These same men, set
apart in their respective parties, would not
be able to treat the levee system in any
such satisfactory manner through party
agencies or methods Of expression. Nor
would their report command the same re.
spect, since citizens know very well that,
as partisans, they would not be permitted
by party managers to say anything in a re.
port that would not make capital for the
party. For this reason it is clear to the
unprejudiced that municipal management
should be divorced from political control.
Again: Can any one for a moment en-.
terrain the belief that Messrs. Knox, Neil.
son, Waterhouse, Milliken and Grunsky
could, in political Convention or commit
tee, present and bring TO adoption any such
intelligent and dispassionate report on the
drainage problem as that they have pre-.
sented to the Citizens Association: Ger.
tainly not. That report is the work, as was
the other of careful study and long DELHI.
Grafton by men who had no partisan ends
to advance, no Convention to handle, &"
and no candidates to brace up"
Precisely the same is to be said of the
Committee OF the Association on Protec.
tion from Fire, composed of Messrs. Hall,
Carey and Wittenbrock. Through this
committee the Association has sccom.
plished an economic reform, which, if at
tempted by political methods, would have
divided this entire community upon petty
issues and have set the political rings Of
both parties 10y the ears.
What the Association has done is but
warrant for further good work. Let it 60
on with it. At the outset it was assailed,
because its purposes were misrepresented !;
perhaps it would be more charitable to say
misunderstood, Now that its motives are
known to be disinterested, non-partisan
and solely to secure municipal economy and
community prosperity, the people repose
confidence in it.
These men, judging by their work thus
far, are giving Of their time aud money for
the public good, irrespective of party as
tendency, and We venture to cay have not
in the slightest degree affected party inter
ests one way or the other. In short, they
have demonstrated that the enforcement
of politics and municipal Management is
possible and wise, and that municipal con.
trcl is not vital necessity to party organ.
ization. When they shall 60 beyond their
legitimate purposes, enter partisan fields
or trench upon party jurisdiction, none
will be more prompt to protest and rebuke
than the RECORD. UNION.

power established upon the new Egyptian
frontier sill exercise an influence upon
the population of Egypt of the most de-
moraliziDg character.
When we reflect upon the powerful ties
of that religion, even we, at this distance,
will fully realize the force of Colonel Cor
don's reasoning. As he puts it, if the
False Prophet is allowed to hold the coun-
try south, all the cities of Egypt will feel
that they may, by Selling the opportunity
when it presents, do as Ell Mahdi does
Not only would Eugland's hold be liable
to be shaken but, as the far seeing soldier
SAYS, the Turk will be menaced for, even
as it is, the successes of Ell Mahdi have in
famed Arabia and Syria, and in Damascus
placards have been posted calling on the
people to rise and drive out the Turk. So,
should Eastern Soudan be relinquished to
the long. armed boatman of Dongola, the
Arab tribes on both sides of the Red Sea
will as Colonel Gordon puts it, :" take
fire."
The plan of this wise and experienced
soldier is, he explained to reporter of the
Pail MqH Gazette, to defend khar-
toum at all hazards; give Nubar full sup.
port in Egypt; proclaim to the Soudanese
that a permanent Constitution will be
granted them, by which no Turk or Cir.
cassian will ever be permitted to plumber
the inhabitants, and that no immediate
emancipation of slaves shall be permitted.
Thus far the plans of Colonel Gordon
have been carried out. The task before
him is the greatest of his life, but he sim
cerely loves the Soudanese and pities
them. This they well know, and no man
living can do more with them. We may
reasonably look, therefore, for his success.

TIE soUDAE AND COLONEL GORDON

Colonel Gordon's opinion, prior to his
departure from England for upper Egypt,
was that Darfur snd Kordofan must be
abandoned but he held that it would cost
England far more to retain her hold upon
Egypt proper, if she abandoned Eastern
Soudan to Ell Mahdi or the Turk, than to
hold it with the aid of such material as
exists in the provinces.
1t is evident that the English Cabine.
Endorsed this view the sending Of Gordon
to Egypt must be taken as approval of his
expression.
The reason Tor mis- belief Colonel Gordon
expressed fully. It was not the fear that
the False Prophet will move forward-.ha
he believed to be altogether improbable
but the danger resides in the fact that the

" TIE MOST FAVORED NATION CLAUSE

Considerable stress has been laid upon
the supposed fact that if the treaty with
Mexico should be confirmed Germany, and
other countries having covenants with
Mexico, under the "most favored nation
clause, viii come in and enjoy all the ben.
etits OF our compact.
Even il this were true it would consti.
tute no reason for rejection OF the treaty.
for it is a base argument and one insulting
to a neighboring Republic. But it is not
true, for reciprocity treaties, as the Wash.
ington correspondent of the New York
Herad makes clear by undeniable authori.
ties, have never been, ana are not now
general commercial treaties, but are
special" conventions and without the
pale OF the "most favored nation" clause.
The only parties to this special compact
are the two who make it, and others never
have and cannot now claim favor under it.
Thus, Spain has never attempted to enter
Caban sugar with US free, because OF our
reciprocity treaty with the Hawaiian Gov.
eminent. Nor did any nation ever claim
privileges under our reciprocity treaty
with Canada.
But if these reasons and answers are not
sufficient a clause in the treaty covers the
whole ground, for it provides that " i
either party to il shall admit other countries
10 the privileges granted in this treaty the
other party may thereupon give notice of
the termination of this treaty, which shall
terminate in six months after such notice. 4"

TROUBLE IN OHIO.

There is trouble among the Democrats Of
Ohio. The party went into power pledged
to the majority of the voters OF that State
to repeal the Scott law. But now, being
in the saddle, the leaders declare it mex,
pedient to lose stirrup- footing by further
antagonizing the temperance element
Wise leaders, or, rather, discreet ring
masters. If you cannot at the same time
ride two horses moving in opposite direc
tions, you show the courage of resolution
in making the attempt.
These men are go blinded by temporary
success as really to entertain the belief
that such of the temperance element at

take the situation sadly if it is at all to the
advantage of these generous politicians.
The truth is, an out and out radical Ohio
teetotllsr is not to be deceived by this rub.
bing of hands and this bewitching display
Of smiles.
The Democracy went into power pledged
by all moral obligations to repeal the Scott
law. If it fails to keep the letter OF its
bond, it will be because it believes it can
hold the file OF the party in subsection by
disciplinary methods, and make it take

win the gratitude of the conservative, or
at least mollify the radical temperance
vote. Accordingly the Democratic legisla-
tive caucus, held at Columbus on the 23d
instant, resolved to shear but one lock of
the Scott law by repeating the local option
clause, The dispatches significantly add

preceding the Presidential election, SO that

DEMOCRATIC SPECIAL PLEADING.

The San Francisco Examiner declares
that while the Democrats in Congress are
determined to reduce the running expenses
Of Government, it is clear that the Repub-
licsns intend to oppose it. There is no
warrant for this statement. 1t is off OF
the piece Of petty demagogy by which the
Democracy is striving to " whoop up " for
the Presidential campaign. 1t is quite
time for such sweeping and characterless
journalism to cease. Proofs cannot be adj
duced in support of the allegation of our
contemporary. Wherever true economy
can be practiced the Republicans of the
nation will be found favoring it, There is,
however, vast difference between the
loud mouthed pirate of a party seeking to
gain control and true economy. Nothing
is easier than to raise the cry, Retrench,
cut off, shat down." but it is more difficult
by far when the time comes to reconcile
economy with the necessities of the Gov.
eminent. The fact is, that the Republican
party has economically administered the
Government, and there has been less run
ming to waste during its incumbency than
at any other period in the history of the
country. With the growth of the nation,
and the consequent enlargement of it, ex-
penses, and of the volume of income and
outgo handled, there has been placed upon
the Republican administrations response
bilitieS-to say nothing of the war debt
such as Democratic administrations were
never called upon to assume. Let the
Examiner go to the records the Republi.
can party has no reason whatever to fear
their examination.
