The Portland daily press., 1888-07-25

Emin Bey, the governor of one of
the provinces under the commits
Ion OF the Khediye, has held out;
but the government of the Bahr Gazelle has
been overthrown by the Mahdi's partisans,
and the province has In measure relapsed
into what it was before Gordon rescued 1t
about ten years ago,-a slave park. Three
fears ago. Immediately after the death OF
Gordon. Stanley proposed to the English An
ti-Slavery Society plan for rehabilitating
the humane authority of Europeans in the
Equatorial Provinces. Gordan had written
in his journal not long before his death;
IF the Mahdi has got the Bahr Gazelle, the
Anti-Slavery Society may as well close their
office as to the suppression of the slave trade
in these parts" and this idea Stanley made
his text in proposing an expedition to the
Bahr Gazelle He would have commission
er make an expedition up the Congo, strike
off overland to the Equatorial Provinces,
and there rally around him the natives, also
whatever remnants of Egyptian companies
or individuals, deserted soldiers or other
wise, may be found lurking in the woods"
and the ''desparing wretches who fed from
the confusion of the Lower Nile With
these elements it was his plan to raise
protecting bulwark to arrest the advance of
the slave hnnters-to form nucleus or place
OF refuge,in short. for the oppressed" The
mysterious appearance Of the white Pasha
certainly gives ground for the superstition
that Stanley is carrying out his plans.

IF the success of Gen. Hancock does not
mean gradual reduction of taxes and GUS
toms, why do the disinterested foreign re-
views speak Of his election as desirable for
that very purpose?" This question was
asked by the Argus in 1880. The English
newspapers were then prasing the Demo-
cratic platform, which declared for tariff
for revenue only, and the Democratic candi-
date, just as they are now. The Argus liked
1t then, and then foreign reviews were
"disinterested" spectators. But this year for
some reason the Argus doesn't like the COM
mendation its platform and its ticket are
getting from that quarter. 1t was only few
days ago that the Argus said that if the
English newspapers desired free trade in this
country they would support protection, and
vice versa, and inasmuch as they were adyo-
eating free trade it followed that they want
ed protection. How does it happen, that when
British papers in 1880 spoke of Hancock's
election as desirable because 1t would result
In reduction of the tariff they were express
ing their real opinion; while in 1888 when the
same journals speak of Cleyeland's election as
desirable because it will result in reduction
Of the tariff they are assembling.

The Argus still continues its assaults on
protection and still continues to refuse to adj
NIT that it is for free trade. 1t is not willing
apparently to stand upon the Democratic
platform of 1880 which declared for "tariff
for revenue only" Perhaps it is for what
one of the Democratic national platforms
calls incidental protection"

Democratic oficeholders are debarred from
publicly addressing their fellow citizens on
political questions by President Cleye-
lands civil service order. This will deprive
the Democratic voters of this district and
especially Of this city of the pleasure of
listening to one Of the ablest and most dis
tinguished Of their leaders in this vicinity
Gen. Samuel j. Anderson. But Gen. Ander
son has not always been under the ban and
In times past has Illuminated the Democracy
on the tariff as well as on other questions.
We accidentally came across speech of
the Generals made some years ago in which
he defined the position of the Democracy on
the great question of to-day. and we were
somewhat surprised to find that protective
tariff was not in his opinion and the opinion
of the Democracy as he understood it the
Ubiquitous thing that the Hon. William L.
Putnam thinks it to be. 1.-THE Democrats"
said General Anderson, ''have always been
in favor Of tariff with incidental protection
to manufacturers, and to-day the Democratic
party, North and South, is in favor of tariff
which shall be equal to all sections, and
which shall build up some industries that
have been crushed out by Republican legis-
lation." AT the time of this speech Gen.
Anderson was running for Congress on a
tariff for revenue only plank. The speech is
noteworthy chiefly as showing the possibili-
ties of Interpretation of a Democratic plat
form. The tariff plank of the Democratic plat
form of that year consisted of five words-A
tariff for revenue only-but Gen. Anderson
interpreted this to mean that the Democratic
party was in favor of incidental protection
to manufacturers and tariff that should
build up industries If plank so clear and
simple as the plank of 1880 could be given
such an Interpretation as that there will be
no great difficulty when the exigency arises
and it is fast coming-of interpreting the
present Democratic platform as the highest
kind of a protective document. There may
be difficulty, however, in making the people
swallow such an Interpretation.

The story comes now from Egypt that the
White Pasha Of the Bahr Gazelle has made
such Roadway as to attract the serious atten-
ton of the Mahdi, and draw from that
worthy the compliments of smashing expe-
dition. The persistence of these rumors
about the White Pasha and the credence
given them by leading authorities on the
African problem, show that there must be
white man of unusual ability and resources
in the Bahr Gazelle, and as the number of
white men Of ability and resources in
Equatorial Africa is as far as known but
two-Stanley and Emin Bey,-the conclusion
is almost irresistible that it is one or both Of
these men who is to be attacked by the
Mahdi 1t is not unlikely that the two men
are together, and working out a plan of
conquest or civilization which has the sup
port of the governments of Belgium and
England. Since the inundation of the
Mahdi's revolt drove European civilization
back from the Soudan, the fate of those
provinces that lie to the south Of the Soudan
has been a matter Of anxious interest to
philanthropists.i and statesmen:in: Europe.

DE WITT, Neb., July 28-To the Editor of

accidental death of Halves in Sundays BEE
there seems to be a spirit of injustice and

ferred that Mile was directly or indirectly
the cause of the death. All know it to be a
pure accident, happening two miles from
