According to Speaker Carlisle the campaign on
which we are entering is the last great struggle
Of the Democracy. If that party is really in its
death tEroes Mr.. Carlise's astonishing franlSness
will not be likely to inspire it with the courage
which it will require. It's " last great struggle
Ell? Well sound the trumpet for the advanced
Anent the current news of the conquests of the
White Pacha in the Bahr ell Ghazel country, some
words of Mr. Stanley himself are remembered with
interest Speaking in London, three years ago. on
the death Of Gordon, he said: Does it not now
strike you that you, who urged him to his death
in that almost hopeless contest, single-handed as
he was, against the united savage hosts of North
Central Africa, should take up the work he
yearned to his death-day to accomplish that is do
what you can to rescue the tribes of the Southern
Bahr ell Ghazel from the doom that surely awaits
them if the help, such as you can give, is with
hed?n This appeal was fruitess. But Mr.. STAN
ley is not the to neglect his opportunities be-
cause others slight theirs, and 1t seems not un-
reasonable to suppose that finding Emin in no
danger and no pressing need Of relief, he has
diverted his expedition from its original object,
and is making himself a scourge to the slave
traders of BOngo and Nyang Vara. In such
warfare his caravan, Ala strong, with $50 rifles,
would be a formidable factor, and his tact in
winning the confidence and support of the natives,
who would hail him their deliverer from Arab
bonds, would enable him to organize strong free
State like that which Dr. Emin is administer
ing so successfully
Governor Hill told the County Democracy that
the Democratic party demanded uniform liberal
Excise law" lie did not undertake to defend his
veto Of the excellent law passed by the last Legis
lature Plainly, ne condemned that measure be-
cause it was not liberal enough--that is not
liberal enough to the liquor-sellers. Liberality
to the liquor interest is, perhaps, the Governors
strongest point
Here is a passage from an editorial in thai con-
servative and thoughtful journal q" The London
Globe which the self-respecting American citizen
would do well to consider carefully before he
casts his vote next fall
As rule the Presidential contest has very little In
tcrest for the Old World. On tho present occasion,
Germs Europe moro particularly Great Britain. MI.
Cleveland has taken hs stand on free trade, and, al
his platform he IS universally recognized In the
States pledged to initiate new departure In fiscal
up to this understanding were he elected;
The central OF the contest lies between the maintc
nance OF the present fiscal system intact and Its mod
fcaon in the direction Of free trade. And on that
broad question Mr.. Cevelands candldature naturally
and necessarily carries English sympathy
Thanks are due to The Globe for such
frank and explicit showing of hands. England's
only interest in American politics lies in the direc
ton of breaking down the American protective
SYSTEM in order that English greed may be gorged
at the expense of American industry Let the
worldngmen of America keep The Globes words
well in mind and determine whether they can
vote for candidate who naturally and necessarily
carries English sympathy"
Among the friends that President Cleveland has
made, Governor Hill reckons the friends of
honesty, friends of courage, friends of economy
friends of lower taxation friends of labor friends
Of constitutional liberty, friends of every true
Democratic doctrine" This almost deserves a
place alongside of " The Brooklyn Eagles I'M
restrained eulogium that Mr. Cleveland possesses
the irmness of Jackson the equpoisc of
Washington the moral frankness Of John Quincy
Adams" and the intellectual qualities of Thomas
Jefferson, improved by profoundly religious tenn
permanent which the third President did not pos
sess" Truly Grover is great and some his
worshippers!
1t is more apparent now than ever-although
there has not been much doubt about it at any
time since lSS4-that if you scratch Mug
wump you find Free Trader.
Larger water mains to be laid in number
of the streets of the city, including portion Of
the drygoods district. One FOR this is that
the present mains afford an inadequate supply
in case of fire. The prccaution is wise one
New-YorlS is going to have plenty of water by
and-by, and it is well to get ready for il.
The foreign tributes to President Cleveland may
have some effect in determining his future resi-
dence lie has turned his back upon unhappy Buff
falo, and is not strongly attached either toward
Brooklyn or Albany. Washington will be an UNI
pleasant home for him after his Indiana successors
inauguration. He can at least go to England and
settle down. Mr. Lowell can introduce him in
London society as the highest type of the best
kind OF Americanism, and he will be certain to be
popular there. lie might even get into Parliament
after while.
Speaker Carlisle says that the Mills bill was
the result of careful investigation Of the whole
subject" Is 1t possible for any one to speak Of
the secret midnight transactions Of the Dark
