THE Republicans in Providence, r.
L., appear TO have been hard pressed
in the recent municipal election.
Under the constitution of that State
no one is entitled to vote unless he
is assessed and pays taxes on proper
ty of the value of S134. just prior
to the election Republican official
placed large number of names of
persons who were not property own
ers on the personal tax list, and paid
the assessments of each one of them.
The Rhode Island Republicans are a
shrewd and unscrpulous set, and un-
der their manipulation they will
probably be able to carry the State
for many years to come.

WEDNESDAY Judge Pilsbury, O
Sumter county, rendered decision
in criminal case that is very i'm.
portant one. When the case of the
State VS.. Webb, Solomon and Shep
Fletcher for simple larceny came up,
Col. John Albritton entered the plea
that the indictment of the grand jury
should be quashed on the ground
that the jury contained men over
sixty years of age, and contended
that the law held a man to be ineligi-
bic as grand juror when he reach
ed that age. Judge Pilsbury dccid-
ed that such was the case, and quash-
ed the indictment. This will throw
out several cases transferred from
the superior to the county court, as
the indictments were found by the
same grand jury.

THE MISSION In THE SOUDAN.

The Soudan, about which so much
has been published oflate is a vast re-
gion in the south of Egypt. 1t is
mostly desert and in area exceeding
that of India, its population is said tc
be not greater than ten million
Along the Nile, which borders it, are
strips of verdure, and in the southern
part the soil is very rich. Khartoum
situated at the junction of the tive
Niles, isan important commercial cen
tire, but its population is not more
than 10000 people. 1t is the com
handing frontier point Of Egypt, and
it is at the place that the Mahdi's flag
is now flying, and where the palace Of
the English commander, General Cor
DAN, has probably been reduced tc
ashes.
The Egyptian government in the Sou
dan has been defined by Mr.. W. l.
STEAD, in the Century, to have been
more matter of periodical pillage.
The sovereignty under the Khedive
was Turkish in fashion, and the Sui
tan's policy of civil bashi bazouks al
ternated in petty wars, marked by the
torture of men and the ravishing of
women. The present internecine
strife in the Soudan is essentially a
rebellion of the Arabs under the
Mahdi against the dominion of Egypt.
He has been struggling for three years
against the supremacy of Egypt, and
the Arabs of the Soudan are better
people than the Egyptians themselves,
the sympathy of civilization must in
the end be with them.
England's part in this purely local
controversy has been dramatic and
delicate and is now full of the direst
danger. The Soudan and the freedom
of the Nile command the entrance to
the heart of Africa whence England
must hope to push her line of eXplo-
ration and conquest. With the Sou
dan in perpetual turmoil the British
engineers and tradesman cannot hope
to travel undisturbed. England
therefore, has ATTEMPTED to dictate to
Egypt entire evacuation of the PROV
ince and to hand the country over to
its original owners. The plan was
difficult one. To provide for the safe
removal of Egyptian employees and
troops, as well as native Christians,
women and children who could well
not remain; to guarantee the safety
of ., 900 soldiers in the Egyptian gar
risons against the Arabian hordes ca
ger to massacre them, was plausible
and humane, but its accomplishment
will cost England millions Of pounds
stealing, two or three armies, and
present problems which may dissolve
GLADsToNE's government and compli-
cate many ministries to come.
1t is the absorbing British question
to-day, next to the Irish problem at
home, and is engrossing the attention
of the civilized world 1t is taxing
the nerve of Wolseley, aggravating
the pride of the people of the realm
and adding gray hairs to the great
premier, who may find. his fate in
the siege Of khartoum as completely
as GoRDAN has met his final if not
his fatal, reverse.-AUg,tstq Chronicle.

HEIR TO TWO MILLIONS.

William Icliffe, the village black
smith of Stockton, Worcester county,
Maryland, has fallen heir to an Earl
dom in England and an estate, the
value Of which is estimated at $1,000
600. He is now forty-five years of
age and a respected citizen of the
town. He came to this country when
a lad. His father married black
smiths daughter and was refused re-
cognition by his parents. The faith
er went to London and there learned
the trade of blacksmithing of his
wife's father. He had some trouble
with the trade union and came to
America, leaving his wife and little
son behind. They followed soon af-
ter and tried to find him, but failing
in this, settled in New Jersey. There
the son grew up, and meeting young
lady of Worcester county, fell in love
with her. They were married and
settled at Stockton, where they have
lived ever since. The news of his
good fortune reached him a short
time ago when his signature was ask
ed to suspicious looking document.
He refused to sign it, and found out
afterward that the document was a
transfer of all his rights to the Icliffe
property in England. He now has
the proper papers in his possession,
and will soon be in undisputed pos
session of the property. 1t was all

GOVERNOR Hoadly, In his ebate
with Judge Foraker, showed great
anxiety to make himself solid with tue
liquors sellers, but he has done it In
such way as 10 cause him consider
able trouble Among other things he
said that people who, after mass on
Sunday 60 to saloon, men, women
and children, are better citizens for the
mass and for the drinking" There are
great many Democrats who drink
and think it no harm to do 80, who will
not endorse Governor Hoadly's ideas,
that man Is the better Christian for
mixing little whiskey with his relig-
ion on Sunday. And ye. strange IS 1t
may seem, 1t is ~ true as 1t Is strange,
that Mr.. Hoadly is the man the Pro
hibitiouists are trying to re-elect Gov
ernor Of Ohio.
Judge Hoadly Is also very convent
emily short OF memory. At point In
his speech he nj ade the assertion that
Lincoln died Democrat. This WAS
such . remarkable declaration that
Judge Foraker, who was on the stand,
corrected him by telling him he meant
that " Lincoln died by the hand Of .
Democrat" The Governor finding
that he had made an unfortunate asser-
ton denied that he had uttered 1t, but
being convinced that he did, he said he
meant to refer to Secretary Seward
which was Is untruthful as the first re-
mark.

questions to the two candidates for

date, declares himself In sympathy
with every movement that tends to bet
Ter the condition Of labor, and places
himself squarely upon the Republican
platform as being ample to meet the
case. This Is answering honest ques
lions in an honest, Straightforward
manner. Mr.. Hill, the Democratic
candidate, answers every question in
detail, and in q demagosuic manner
gives his hearty assent to every propo-
sition. Had he been asked to promise
every man q mansion, he would have
promised 1t. Intelligent workingm men
will not be deceived by such promises,
