STANLE US LINE OF RETREAT

A new theory respecting SANKEY'S disap-
pearance in Africa has been advanced by one
Of his former companions in the Congo. Mr..
Johnston maintains in "The Fortnightly Re-
views that in the absence of definite tidings
of the explorers death, which would have
travelled very rapidly since he is the only
European who is well known in the Dark Con-
tinent, his arrival at Wadeai early last winter
may be taken for granted. Tidings Of his
safety have not been received, owing TO native
upnsings at the central lakes. by which Emin
has been cut off for year from communica-
tons with Zanzibar. This explanation is con-
frmed by the latest cable dispatches recting
the experiences of DR.. Baumann, an Austrian
traveller, who has recently been a victim of
treachery and imprisonment in that region, and
asserts that there have been revolts and wars
among the natives. Mr.. Johnston confidently
expects that the first messenger who brings
word from Emn after the troubles have quoted
down at Bunyoro will report not only Mr..
SANKEY'S arrival, but also his departure for the
Niger Valley by way Of the Bahr-el-Ghazal and
Darfur.
Few writers who have discussed the probable
tate OF the relief expedition have considered
this question Of the line of retreat iicm the
Equatorial Provinces. Let it be granted that
the explorer reached his destination during De-
cember or January. His stores would be de-
pleted, and there would be little that he could
90 Tor Emin. He would not desire to remain
long at Wadeai after delivering such supplies
oil food and ammunition as he might have been
able to transport from the Congo to the White
Nile. III Emin, as he was certain to do. re-
fused to accept the Americans escort and to
abandon the Equatorial Provinces to their fate

THE PEOPLE AND THEIR VOTES.

Boston gentleman Of intelligence, refine
ment and marked business ability recently
asked: {" Is it possible that you really believe
the things which THE TRIBUNE reports about
the condition of the South and the character
OF elections there" Perhaps it would be as
well to let Wednesdays official returns make
answer. For after all the statements Of THE
TRIBUNE would not be of weight, as they would
not be made, If the official reports Of elections
at the South were not peculiar.
Yesterdays dispatches gave the official
returns from South Carolina and Alabama.
In Alabama the plurality for Mr.. Cleveland
was over 10000, the total vote was II 5000.
and the average number of votes for each
Congressional district was 81 1885, In South
Carolina the plurality for Mr.. Cleveland was
over 90, 900, the total vote was 1866, and
the average vote for each Congressional dis
trict was II, 366. According to the census
eight years ago Alabama had 1,262 ,5O5 in
habitants, and South Carolina 995, 81. The
country has heard great deal Of late about the
wonderful growth Of Alabama in mining and
manufactures, in industries and in population.
If that State has grown only as much as the
other States certainly have, its population must

had population Of nearly million eight years
ago, and ought to have grown some. Yet the
votes actually cast are scarcely greater In Ala
bama than were officially returned in 1876,
twelve years ago, and in South Carolina less
than half the votes officially returned twelve
years ago.
The official returns from Pennsylvania and
Ohio were telegraphed and published the same
day. In Pennsylvania the plurality for Cen
eral Harrison was nearly $4,000, and the total
vote 997 ,22l, an average of 35.6l5 for every
Congressional district In Ohio the total vote
was S41 ,102, an average of 4O,O53 for every
Congressional district. Pennsylvania had
1882 1871 inhabitants eight years ago, and
about 40 for every vote then cast; at the same
ratio the present population would be nearly
100000. Ohio then had 81 90, O82 in
habitants, and about IA for every vote then
cast the vote now cast would indicate a pop
ulation Of 100000. IN neither Of these

States, therefore, is there indication that the
vote is materially below or in excess OF inc
ordinary ratio of votes to population; IN o'ner
words the official returns appear to lndlcate
that fair and free election was held ana
that the votes were honestly counted ana re-
turned. But IL this is true of Alabama and
South Carolina, then the population of Ala
hama would seem to be scarcely greater than 1t
was twelve years ago, and the population of
South Carolina less than half what it was in
1876.
If there is any accusation here against the
persons who manufactured 10000 plurality
for Mr.. Cleveland in Alabama, a State which
has about eleven whites for ten colored in
habitants, and 81 900 in South Carolina, a
State which has about two whites for three
colored inhabitants, the accusation is made, not
by THE TRIBUNE, but by the official returns
which those persons have sent forward. There
is not a sane man in the Northern States who
does not see at a glance that elections in South
Carolina and Alabama do not mean what cleo
tons mean in the Northern States where laws
are enforced and obeyed. In some vital re-
spects-which it is the especial business OF
Democrats themselves to explain-the people
have a different part in selfgov"rnment in
South Carolina and Alabama from that which
the people have in Ohio and Pennsylvania. "
good many of them do not care to vote" is the
usual reply. Very well 4; why not? In Penn
sylvania district 35, 600 care to vote; why do
only II, 900 care to vote in district Of South
Carolina? In an Ohio district 10000 actually
voted; why is it that less than 20 900 vote in
Alabama? Is it because, if a larger number
voted at ALL the districts would not be all Dem
ocratic, and the pluraities for Mr.. Cleveland
would not be 81, in South Carolina or
so, 900 in Alabama? That is the question
which the intelligent Boston Mugwump and
his political allies at the South should be able
to answer between them

Having succeeded in reaching Wadelai after u
desperate struggle through the sloughs of the
Mabode country, how would he attempt to get

MIR. Johnston arrives at his conclusion by

the expedition would not attempt to return to
the Aruwim camp after its terrible experiences;
nor would it venture to take the read TO Zanzi-
bar, in defiance of the pillaging tribes of Bun

Mr.. Johnston believes that Mr.. Stanleys cara
van was accompanied by Emin's forces as far
as the borders of the Nyam-Nyam country and
then put in the way Of opening communca-
tons with Wadai and Darfur, and that his
appearance in that quarter gave rise to the
various reports concerning the White Pacha.
If the tribes of the Western Soudan were we'll
disposed there would be nothing to prevent his
reaching Lake Tsad and the Sokoto Empire,
and after long and circuitous journey emerg-
ing at the coast. The theory is plausible
one, and serves to explain fairly well the mys-
teries connected with this most interesting

TO be an excellent selection. The appointment
of Mr. Dowd is to be regarded in different
light from the others. He is named to succeed
the venerable William Wood whose term

doubt of his acceptance of the Office for so short

One of the good suggestions made to the
Excise Revision Commission yesterday was that
q change is needed in the law which says that
the sight of the sale of liquor over a bar is
not sufficient evidence Of violation of law, but
that the witness must taste the liquor sold.
This is one of the clauses of the spy system
which is so Objectionable. 1t is only reasonable
to lay down the rule that when business is car
ried on in bar-room on Sunday or at other for
hidden times it is illegal business.

Mr.. Parnells judgment in Directing to the
appearance of Edward Harrington as counsel
before the Commission for some of the accused
Nationalist was sound. Mr.. Harrington vexed
the Judges seriously few days ago by at
tempting to give testimony when he was pal
pably out Of order; and his paper, The Kerry
Sentinel" has charged the Judges with being
" creatures of conspiracy" and unable to
veil their prejudices." This was, of course,
grossly scandalOus. Mr.. Harrington off Tered no
explanation or apology, and fine of 500
pounds was promptly imposed upon him by the
court. Mr.. Parnel often has difficulty in con-
trolling his followers. He will probably have
less trouble with Mr.. Harrington in the future

OGDEN had great day yesterday.
ONLY pseudo-Democrats wore tie in

THE streets, yesterday. presented an
animated appearance.
He who did not wear a badge, was
out of fashion, and decidedly demo

Our citizens were favored with the
sweet strains of the band which accom-
panied the Democratic party yesterday.
A LADY was seen endeavoring to
enter the Broom Hotel yesterday be
tween the hours of ~ and 2. but was
prevented by the rush, as the Demo

THE action of the majority was alto
gether undemocratic-in direct conflict

GENTLE street talk had it that if gen

had desired to speak. the pseudo Dem

IT was high jinks with the Demo Gratis
yesterday. and, as the weather was
beautifully fine, people of all political
