The Tale OF Arab PIisoners-Know
Nothing OF the Capture OF Emin

LONDON. Dee. 20.
A despatch to the Times from Suakim
says:
The prisoners say they believe that all the
mounted gunners were killed. All tell the
same story of privation and cruelty at the
hands of the Mahdi and 0sman ID. .gna.
None wished to fight but were forced to do
so, or were persuaded TO do so by the prom
Use of loot at Suakim and other places.
The trenches were bare. They found no
food, clothing or money, but only Snyder
rifles and csrtridge,. The prisoners know
nothing of the reported capture of Emin
or the fall of the equatorial provinces. The
natives assert that Handoule would fall at
the first approach of our troops The gov
ernment ought not to lose this chance. Tne
task is an easy one as there is not slightest
sign of any gathering of local tribes.

CEDAR Hill. ANACosTIA, d. c.,
A Positive Hindrance.

What has,the Third party ever done
for temperance? 1t has been in exist
ence nearly twenty years. Before its
birth sixteen States had enacted prohi
bitory legislation, and since that period
-IS69-ffteen additional States have
enacted stringent laws against rum, IN
most cases unaided by, and in many
cases in spite of, the Prohibition party.
From the day of Its advent till now, it
has been a positive hindrance to the
cause of prohibition by playing more
or less directly into the hands of the
avowed rum party of the country. But
its power to execute this mischief has
reached high water marx and is now on
the wane.
Prohibition in the guise of a third
political party IS a sham. Prohibitory
legislation owes its existence and sue
cess to the Republican party. That
party Is the tower of its defence and its
hope for the future. The sooner the
advocates of third partyism recognize
this fact and in good faith strike hands
with the only party of progress and re-
form, the sooner and more completely
will triumph come to the cause they
claim % love so well.

An Irishman's Opinion.
NEW YORK, Oct. 10, 1888

NEW YORK, Oct. IL, 1888.
To tie Editor of tie P,eSS.'
In reply to your favor | have to
say: First-The experience OF a
century has demonstrated that under
the policy of Protection the nation
has grown rich and the people be-
come prosperous. That when tenn
porarily this policy has been aban-
doned, prosperity gave way to idle
ness, poverty, bankruptcy and ma
ton decay.
Second-During the past quarter
OF century this country has become
the wealthiest nation on the globe by
the aid of Protection, or in spite OF
it. At the end OF this period the
people generally are comfortable ard
contented, and among them there is
a more general diffusion of material
wealth, comfort and intelligence than
among other people.
Third-Under the Protective pol
icy the wages of labor have been
greater than in any preceding period
of our history or in any other coun-
try in any period of that country
history.
Fourfh-It has made the nation
powerful in war and prosperous in
peace.
Fifth-It has stimulated produc-
ton, and by competition has cheap
ened lite's necessaries and luxuries,
increasing the purchasing power of
days wages.
Sixth-It has dignifed labor and
thereby exalted human nature.
Seventh-It has made this coun-
try invincible by reason of the skill
created and fostered by it.
Eighth Glove it for the enemies
it has made"-the foes of the Re
public at home and abroad.
NINTH am an Irishman with all
that the name implies. My country
men are race of wage-workers, and,
in their interest, | favor snch policy
as affords honest toll fair. reward.
AS 10 the effects of a Free Trade
policy, these would be inevitable:
Silent spindles, idle furnaces, lower
wages, fewer comforts, depression in
trade, vast army of tramp ragged
wives, hungry children, great rejoic,
ing in England, and laughter and
in the solid South.

England's Only Use for an Irish
man.

Extract from speech delivered at
Haverstraw, n. Y. on the 18th inst,
by the Hon. Thos. H. Dudley, of New
Jersey:
Whilst residing IN England l was
at a dinner at the Reform Club in Lon
don John Bright, William E. Foster
William Evans, M, P, and number Of
others being present. During the even,
ing Ireland and the Irish people came
up for discussion. There was much
said to their disparagement. The Eng
lsh people are generally very severe in
their criticism and unsparing in their
denunclations of the Irish as a class
As a rule they regard themselves
superior as d race. An Irlshman is
always put down as inferior to an Eng
lishman. Ga this occasion, as the,
warmed up in their talk, Mr.. Evans re.
marked that the only time that an
Irishman is ever of any service to Eng
land is when he emigrates to the United
States and joins the Democratic party
and votes for free trade
Il have often wondered to myself
how strange and inconsistent this was
on the part OF the Irish people. Through
the wrongs perpetrated on Ireland by
England her people have been driven
from her shores and Ireland made
bankrupt and almost ruined: yet, when
they come here to the United States,
they very generally join the Democratic
party and vote to benefit England-do
just what the English people want them
to do. Do that which is of more ser
vice to England than anything else they
can or could possibly do, vote for free
trade"

BENZ. HARR/SON.

As the campaign closes there exists
widespread feeling in the Republican
party that the chances of victory are in
favor of General Harrison. The cam
paign which has been made by the
party ever since the Chicago conven-
ton has been such as many Republi
cans in the. beginning of the year did
not expect could be made. From the
start it has been eagerly pushed, ad-
mirsbly managed and unanimously sus-
tanned. There has not been serious
blunder committed, there have been no
dissensions, and there has been an un-
usual display of intelligent party spirit.
The conduct of the candidate has been
wise the direction of the campaign by
the National Committee has been
marked by sound judgment the rival
ries of leaders have been sunk out of
sight and there has been a certain
tone ard dignity to the canvass that no
campaign ever equaled before.
