The Peace at ANY Price Party.

LeNroN, Feb. The Echo, the organ Of
the radical liberals, and edited by memb4r
of Parliament, this afternoon concludes an
editorial with this platform, on which,
doubtless, very large number OF taxpay-
ing electors stand:
If the Mshdi is willing to release Gordon
on condition that we retire from the Sou
dap, that condition in our opinion should
be agreed to. Lord WolseIey is in the Sou
dan for the purpose OF resculng Gordon. and
if he is still alive and it is
possible to rescue him without fur
ther fighting, we may we'll agree
to retire from the Soudan. We have no
quarrel with the Soudanese or their leader.
We do not want Khsrtoum, and as for the
garrisons still in the Mshdi's country, let
them make terms with the Mahdi, if the
Mahdi is willing TO make terms with them.
We refuse to believe that sane Englishmen

England to continue to pour oHt her blood

Choice for Secretary OF State-Pen.

Special 70 the Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, Eeb. S.-Men who have Wis.
tied Mr.. Cleveland and claim to be wise in
regard to Cabinet matters say the President
elect is now and has for some
time been very solicitous about having
Senator Bayard, of Delaware, for his
Secretary of State. The Senstor.has steadily
refused, because be preferred in the first
place to remain in the Senate, on account
OF the character Of work to perform in the
two places, and secondly mis- colleagues had
impressed him with the necessity OF remain
ing there.
1t was reported to-day that Senator Bay
ard would probably yield to the importuni-
ties and enter the Cabinet. Next to Senator
Bayard, Mr.. Cleveland has preferred ii is
stated, Senator Pendleton, of Ohio, for the
SecretaryshIp OF State, and in the event the
Delaware Senator will not accept the posi-
tion, Senator Pendleton may do so. 1t is
known that Senator Pendleton prefers going
to Paris as the Minister to France, however.
Until the Secretaryship Of State is settled
Mr.. Cleyeland Will have slow work forming
Cabinet. While the Treasury portfolio is
the most important it is easiar to fill than
that Of the State Department. There are
any amount of able fnanciers, but there
are few men who combine diplomacy, law
and society as the latter position demands.
Senators Bayard and Pendleton possess this
trio oil qualities.
The Secretary of State is the confidential
adviser OF the President. When the Exscu-
tive lie perplexed over an issue he calls in
the Secretary OF State as his official and per-
sonal friend. The man who occupies that
position therefore is one who commands the
fullest confidence of the President.
1t is believed here that the Attorney en-
eralsibp and Postmaster Generalship will 90

Money, of Mississippi, or Barbour, of Vir-

the Interior and Secretaryship of War win

sibly Villas, of Wisconsin. The other places
will likely go East.

well known Mohammeaan agent, now in

General Gordon as q prisoner, and might

General Gordon for Arabi Pasha, whom the
Mshdi bOnors as q true servant In the cause
OF Mahomet. The Mshdi might make a par
tial peace with the English, but never a
permanent peace. he would refuse to
accept the title Of Viceroy or any
other title from the Khedive, or
from the S1ltsD, but would remain the
Mshdi. He aimed at the conquest of the
SoudaD, and hoped rising would take place
in Arabia against the Turke.

LONDON, Feb. The Cabinet Council

disappointment was expressed by the min
listers a. the non arrival OF dispatches from
General Wolseley. 1t is rumored that he

giving General Wolseley carte blanche to do

delight by every body but Wolseley, who
now tosses the burden of responsibility back
to the cabinet and says in effect, "All right,
il you want aifew more men slaughtered |

how you wish it done" The officials IN
Downing street are much perturbed tonight,

The French Press Bitter on England.
LONDON, Feb. THE comments of the
French press upon the disaster in the Sou

against England and everything that is Eng
lish. The Gallo roosters are Growing now t
retaliste for the exultstion which has been
expressed by English newspapers over every
success won by China in repelling the French
attacks in Tonquin and Formosa. Some of
the statements of the Paris papers are as ab
surd as they are venomods. Apparently
ninety-nine Frenehmen out of a hundred
believe that there was a large garrison
of British troops at Knartoum, In
stesG of British officer and a
few hundred of native and Egyptian
soldiers. The boulevard editors swell with
pride at the idea that NJ. Oliver Pain led the
stOIming party which captured Khartoum,
and they write about the ex-communist in
peDegyrical terms which would be fulsome
if he were a hero. As matter of fact
Pain is at Metemneh, and the most trust
worthy accounts that can be obtained from
the native spies show that he is in a c0ndi-
ton OF funk He fears capture at the
hands Of The British, in which case there is
no doubt but that he would be promptly
hanged by the troops, who are incensed at
Gordon's fate, and he equally fears to re-
turn to the Mahdi, who is said to hold Pain
responsible for the defeat of the Arabs at
Gakdul and Aber- Klea.

River and Harbor Bills III ara to Pass.
Special TO the Sentinel.
WAsHINGToN, Feb. Sit has occurred to
the members OF the House during the past
week that the days of River and Harbor bills
are fast waning. A few years ago bill
appropriating $780, 600, 900 could be and was
gotten through more readily than one now
appropristiDg but one-third the amount.
This opposition to the bills grows out of two
causes-protests from the people against ex-
pending so much money on waterways and
inability of members to barmonize on the
amounts their individual sections of country
shall receive.
With great difficulty will 1t be that the
bill now before the House will finally pass.
There are many indeed who predict its de-
feat eventually. The clauses which were
supposed to be life savers TO the measure
the Galveston Harbor and Hennepin Canal
being knocked IN the head, the bill is ap-
parently left to sink at the hands OF
disgrun tied members, who are borin :
holes in it every day. The River and Ha--
Dor bill has always been an omnibus for
jobs in a larger or smaller degree. 1t in-
varisbly contains provisions which are
wrong but which are placed there to pacify
those who would make disturbances if they
were not included.
Any class of regular legislation that must
go through upon pacitying conditions will
eventually cease. and the river and harbor
bills which have been offered in the Houss
annually, and generally passed, have never
been so comniIed that thev couId he aO0res-
sive. They are beggsrs, and it looks 8,
though the people had enacted vsgrsn'
law which will arrest them.

POLITICS IN OHIO.

The Supreme Court of Ohio has de-
cided that there can be no going be-
hind the returns and that the four
Democrats whose election to the Sou
ate was alleged to have been caused by
gross frauds must be given their seats.
The Senate will be composed of 30 Dem
ocrats and II Republicans, the House
of IS Republicans and 81 Democrats,
and there will be a Republican majority
of three on joint ballot This condi.
ton of things makes it very interesting
to Senator Sherman, as the present
Legislature will elect his successor.
1t yet looks as if Mr.. Sherman would
be his own successor, but there are
many possibilities where the majority
is so small; especially in Ohio, where
the average politician is thrifty. An
other result of the courts decision Is
also interesting to the Republicans. 1t

THE INDIAN PRonLE,T.

The members Of the Administration
whose duty it is to superntend Indian
affairs evidently studied the subject
from a standpoint Of hard common
sense in which justice was predominant
and sentimentality had no place.
While in theirrecommendations there
are some minor points of difference,
yet so far as practicabllty is concerned
there is great unanimity between Com
missioner Atkins, Secretary Lamar aud
the President. General Atkins started
the subject in his report and It was fol-
lowed up by the Secretary Of the Int
rior and the President in turn. None

1RuLAND's sUNBURsr.

AS it is evident that Mr.. Parnell will
have the whip hand in the next House
of Commons, it is matter of interest
and some conjecture as TO what shape
his demands for Ireland will take.
There seems, however, not to be very
much conjecture about it, for Mr. Par
ncll's lieutenant, Mr. 7, p. O'Connor,
has made public what will probably be
asked of Parliament for Ireland. These
demands, if Mr. O'Connor correctly
states them, will be very radical. 1t
will include the almost complete indie
pendence which Canada enjoys and
the participation of the Irish
people in the expenses of the imperial
government and the payment of the
national debt. Ireland would have
the control of her militia and
police and the power to tax
British imports. If such conces-
sions are obtained, Ireland will be
practically independent of England,
but it is extremely doubtful If Mr..
Parnell will make all the de-
mands outlined at once. To do SO
would arouse such opposition in both
the Liberal and Conservative parties as
would show that he was not handling
his opportunities wisely.
