NEWS FROM TIE EQUATOR.

The rumors teleeraphed from Zanzibar re-
spccting Emin are not entitled to credence.
The dates excite suspicion, since it is most i'm
probable that any Trustworthy intelligence
could have been received from Wadelai in so
short period. The latest advices from Emin
were sent early in November, The native
messengers who have arrived at the coast re-
port that he was in great straits on April 4,
and had received summons from the NIahdi
at KhartOum to surrender and disband his
troops. Aside from the imDrobahility Of so
recent date. the details of the situation de-
scribed by the messengers are unintelligible
and irrational Emin is represented as receiv-
ing letter from Lupton Bey which he at once
pronounced forgery, and yet as attaching
sufficient importance to it to warrant his mar
shalling bis forces and leading them north in
order to attack the Mahdis forces. There are
many other inconsistencies in the rurUrs re-
peated by the garrulous messengers. Indeed,
it seems almost certain from their references
to the fate Of the Stanley expedition that their
story is farrago Of stale news and silly con-
lectures. The Khartoum rumorS telegrlphed
to Zanzibar apparently have been carried in
land short distance and have been returned to
the coast with fantastic variations.
The inference to be drawn from these re-
ports, if trustworthy, would be that Emin is
"the White Pacha," whose sudden appearance
in the Bahr-Ghazcl region had excited alarm
at Khartoum. If he be Emin, Stanley must
have persisted in the wilderness with his force
But we are still inclined to believe that the
White Pacha is Stanley. For one thing the
White Nile messengers from the Bahr-Ghazel
reported that it was ian English Pachd' who
was marching through that section with large
force Emin is an Austrian by birth and
Mohammedan In religion. lie could never have
been described by the messengers as English.
Moreover, if he had advanced from Wadelai
his name would have beep mentioned since
the natives in that region are familiar with
the circumstances of his soiOurn in the equa-
toral provinces The fact that Arabs from
the White Nile spoke Of the progress OF a
mysterious white or English Pacha in the Bahr-
Ghazel country seems to preclude the possible
ity of his Identification with Emin.
Writing in September last Of the district
through which Stanley's original route. lay,
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1888-08-03

Emn remarked: IL know from personal OBJ
servation the almost impossible swamps, the
numerous rivers with floating vegetation, and
the other difficulties which a traveller will
have to surmount in marching from the Congo
here" The expedition encountering these
marshes and traclsless swamps in its eastward
course would naturally have turned northward,
and its altered route would have led to the
Bahr-Ghazel. The sudden appearance of the
column in that quarter would certainly have
created CONSERVATION among the natives and
reports similar to those which were carried to
Khartoum would have been circulated All
the circumstances seem to favor the theory
that Stanley emerge8 in safety on the White
Nile above Wadclai from the terra incognita
which he had been traversing. The Zanzibar
stories may safely be discredited as mendacous
native editions of the old news from khartoum.

THE STTBBOPN SIOUY.

The probability that the Sioux will agree to
the opening of their reservation grows smaller
every day. The Standing Rock Conference
has thus far only developed an all but unani-
nous disinclinati0n to accept the proposals OF
the Commissioners. The influence OF Sitting
Bull may have something to do with this atti-
tude of the Indians, but it is plain enough
that the chiefs views would not be so general
ly adopted if they were not supported by CON
siderations which every Sioux can comprehend.
What these considerations are is unfortunately
only too apparent. The Indians dlstrust the
United States Government, not because they
are prejudiced, or stupid or perverse, but be-
cause the United States Government has not
in the past kept its engagements with the In
dams. They are suspicious because experience
proves that the promises made to them are not
trustworthy. They have been deceived before
They have been cheated before. IL is there
fore not at all remarkable that they now ex-
hibit a strong reluctance to put faith IN the
Great White Father" who has abused their
confidence so shamefuly already.
recent dispatch throws strong light upon
the whole case, and shows the kind of ethics
which are behind the present effort to open the
Sioux persist in refusing their consent bill
will be pushed through Congress enabling the
projectors of the movement to open the reServa-
ton without obtaining the consent of the In
dams Of course the implication of this is
that Congress can be got to pass law impair
ing the obligations Of the contract made with
the Indians, and thus giving them fresh IL
lustraton of that governmental perfidy which
has driven them to take their present stand.
1t is possible that this report is not true. We
certainly hope it is not, though a century and
moro of tricky Indian legislation does not
afford ground for very confident expectations
as to the moral standard likely to be adopted
in case of the kind, when wealthy corpora
tons are arrayed on one hand and the help
less Indians on the other. The attempt to
solve the problem by passing such a bill would
be immoral, and it would also be cowardly.
1t would be much moro manly to throw off all
disguise, boldly announce the doctrine that
might makes right, and seize the coveted Sioux
Reservation with the strong hand. Then the
Indians might be asked, after the manner Of
Boss Tweed. "What are you going to do

of these were so small that 1t did not pay to issue

WHY NOT ORGANIZE 4 FREE TRAD E
B4NKp

1t is quite customary for public men who are
leaving the service of the Government, es-
pecially when they have been in the financial
departments, to 20 into the banking business.
There are notable examples Of this tendency
not only in New-York City, but all over the
country.
There are FIVE great apostles Of free trade
in this country They are Henry Watterson,
Frank IIurd, Roger Q. Mills, James G.. Car
isle and William L. Morrison. These five
men are at present asking the country that they
shall be allowed to dictate the entire financial
policy for upward of sixty millions of people.
When men assume such an attitude it is no
more than fair that they should be asked to
stand the same test by which other men are
weighed The head of great financial insti-
tuition of any description must in order to be
successful be a man of large experience in
finance, moderate conservative, stable and
strong. Let it be supposed that the five gentle
men who are here named should incorporate
a bank to-day in any metropolis in the country,
with Mr.. Watterson as its president, Mr.. Hurd
as its vice president, Mr.. Mills as its cashier,
Mr. Carlisle as its boolkeeper and Mr.. Nor
rison as the respectable dummy director in a
board with the others.
How many moneyed men would subscribe for
the stock of the bank? How many capitalists
would intrust the new institution with their
money? How many laborins men would re-
gard this as the one safe rlace to deposit their
earnings? How much above or below par
would the banks stock rate on the open mar
ket 4? This is fair test. 1t is not worth while
even to point out the inevitable end. The
crash would be smaller in proportion, but sim
liar in character, to that which would follow
the adoption of free trade in this country.

fore ii had ever been fired. Pernicious
activity is the most precious gift that a-Dem-
ocratic of1iceholder can lay on the party altar.
The Connecticut brethren are in no doubt on
that point; butif by any chance some sensitive
and shrinking soul still feels a lingering sense
of insecurity all he has to do is to send a
telegram to Mr.. Barnum and wait about twenty
minutes for the following answer:
