England's Policy in the Soudan.
In his speech in the Commons on Thurs
day night Mr.. Gladstone frankly stated that
the governments policy in regard to the
Souian had not been changed by recent
events. The intention still was to eyacuate
1t. Other portions of his speech, however,
make it clear that conquest is 10 precede
abandonment. Kbartoum is first to be taken
and the Mahd's army routed. In other
words war is to be prosecuted for revenge,
and when revenge is complete the English
are to get out of the Soudan as soon as pos
sibe.
The first part of the programme is un-
doubtedy demanded by the British people !;
the second part is forced upon the govern
ment by inexorable necessity. Ia the pres
ent temper Of the British public no ministry
that declared its intention to withdraw from
the Soudan without first ayenging Gordon's
death could survive day. Khartoum must
be taken and the Mahdis army routed. But
after that there is but one course for the
government, whether controlled by Conser-
vatives or Liberals, to pursue. The Soudan
is not worth holding, even if it were posi-
be to hold it. It never could be made a
source of revenue to the British crown.
There is nothing there for England to
squeeze. But to hold 1t permanently would
be practically impossible unless network of
railroads were built throughout the country,
an enterprise in which British capital could
never be induced to invest. Detached gar
risons in The principal towns would be
constantly in danger of having their sup
plies cut off by rebellious natives, and ex-
posed to starvation or massacre. After the
English have avenged Gordon's death they
must get out of the Soudan simply for tbs
reason that they cannot stay there.

with reference to Its possible effect upon the
business interests of Portland and without
the remotest suspicion that it could be made
to have any political significance. If that
be its sole purpose well and good. If bnsi-
ness men have any changes to suggest in the
bill reported by the committee it is not only
their right, but their duty, to suggest them.
If they want the bill amended SO that lease
to become operative must be ratified by the
people they should say SO, but they should say
it In such way That no aid and comfort for
anybody's political ''boom" can be extracted
frcm their utterances.

Portland & ogdensburg Bill,

The bill now before the legislature, pro-
viding for the foreclosure of the Portland &
Ogdensburg railroad and its reorganiza-
ton, was drawn by Hon. W, L. Putnam. 1t
gives authority to the city to sell or lease its
interestiin the same provided such sale or
lease Is ratified by two-thirds of the city
council. Mr.. G. j. Chapman appeared be-
fore the legislative committee Thursday and
in behalf of the business men of Portland
claimed that no such sale or lease should be
made until the same had not only been rati-
fed By the city council, but by popular vote
Of the citizens. The Argus applauds Mr..
Chapman and attempts to give the impress
sion that the mayor is not disposed to protect
the interests of the city. A more gratuitous
assumption could not be made. Mr.. King
made no opposition to the amendment. He
has no concealed motives or interests. He
will not even be in Office when the matter
comes up for action. The bill has been
drawn in no interests except that of our
city, and has the sanction of the best legal
advice. If the city council cannot be trust
ed to protect the interests of Portland let
them be protected in town meeting-but no
misapprehension should exist In the public
mind on this matter. It has not political
significance. Republicans have the interst
OF the city quite as much at heart as have
the Democrats. An attempt is being made
to use this incident to ''boost the boom' for
Ex-Mayor DeeriDg-who is being posed as
the only man who can guard the city's inter-
ests. 1t is rare that SO much virtue falls to
a single lot. If the citizens of Portland
want such an amendment as Mr. Chapman
proposes. let it be made, but in the interests
of fair play and decent government Repub-
licans should not be misled by plausible
misrepresentation, to play into the hands
of their opponents. 1t is wise sometimes to
inquire what is the true inwardness of
movements whose natural results are to aid
your adversary.
Undoubtedly great part of the gentle
men who signed the call for meeting at Re-
ception Hall tonight did so in the full belief
that the only purpose Of the meeting was to
consider the Portland & 0gdensburg bill

NOT AN EXPENSIVE LEGISLATURE AFTER
ALL.
(Kennebec Journal)
Much has been said about the extraya-
gance of the present legislature, but COM
parison does not seem to confirm such a
statement. The fusion legislature of 1879
made an attempt to reduce the expenditures
of State government. Salaries were lessened,
etc., still the legislature was forced to make
tax of four per centum on hundred dol
lars of the State valuation. The next year
or account of the extravaganza of the fusion
legislature the necessary rate to cover over
the appropriations was 5 per centum on a
hundred dollars. In 1892, 1t was Al per
centum. This year it has heen reduced to

Tarantella. A Romance. By Mathilde
Blind. Boston: Roberts Brothers, Port
land: Loring, Short & Harmony Miss
Blinds romance is clear and brilliant, but
somewhat too long, being really three vol
umes in one. 10 these days of many books
and writers the superabundance of very
good novels which claim more or less atten-
tion, one can hardly afford to give SO much
time to story which might have been con-
densedsinto much smaller compass. Tar
antella has however, many points of interest
1t is peculiar and original in plot, the
characterization is excellent, and it has
much beauty of description. The author
shows great versatility in taking us from
quiet German pastoral into an overwhelming
storm OF Italian vehemence and fervor.
Miss Blind has done excellent work in her
Biography of George Eliot, included in the

terested to see this writer of talent exhibited
in quite different field of action.

tional, and yet is far removed from dulness.
Roslyn' Fortune is pleasant and attract
