Ohio's Palace Of Truth.

It is written on the slate Of the Ohio expert
politician that Gov. j. BENSON FORAKER shall
present the name Of the Hon. JOHN SHER-
MAN in the next Republican Convention.
With a voice like tho sound Of many waters
will FORAKER perform the job. And there
will be few in the Convention, and nobody
from Ohio. who will not understand that
neither Ohio nor FORAKER wants SHERMAN
nominated.
Mr.. SHERMAN remembers how GARFIELD
deluded him In 1880, and how FORAKER
played him double in 1884. The shifty
friendships and the steady selflshness Of the
Ohio Republican politician are perfectly well
known to the Man Of Mansfield, himself
one Of the shiftiest to others and the most
faithful to himself.
II the Chicago Convention hall could be-
come next summer a Palace Of Truth after
the poets idea, how pleasant would 1t be to
hear SHERMAN and FORAKER giving each his
real opinion OF the other!
This Is Brother SHERMAN's last chance. If,
by a triumph Of intrigue and tho will OF
Mr.. BLAINE, the hero Of the coffee-sack
breeches should walk of with the prize, Mr..
SHERMAN might find it in his mind to sulk
and skulk, even more sullsnly than the frigid
EDMUNDs did In 1884.

A Bridge Across tho Oxus.

Two weeks 6 last Wednesday tho first
train OF cars crossed the long bridge that
has been thrown over the Oxus River In Rus
star Central Asia. This structure, which Is
nearly a thousand feet longer than tho
Brooklyn Bridge. including It's approaches,
spans a classic river, Of which very little was
known thirty years age, except through tho
writings Of the old historians, who described
the exploits Of ALEXANDRA and TAMKRLANE.
The man who ten years ago had predicted
that to-day iron rails would stretch over
wide deserts and the upper course of the ia
nous Oxus, which had been reached In mod
ern times by only three or four disguised
white men, would have been looked upon as
q visionary enthusiast.
The road bed has been graded for nearly
the entire distance between the Oxus and
Samarcand, and, with the completion Of the
bridge, the work Of laying the track will
rapidly proceed. Within tho next three
months it is expected that the trans-Caspian
railroad will be completed to Samarcand
and trains running from the Caspian Sea to
the capital of the great Mongol %conqueror.
This road is remarkable not only because
1t pushes far into inner Asia, but also because
some unique problems in railroad construc-
ton have been solved by Its successful prog
ress. Many engineers said q railroad could
not be maintained through the shiftins sands
OF the Kara-Kum desert. But Gen. AMEN
KoFE, by covering parts Of his roadway with
clay. by placing in his embankments layers
OF the branches Of a desert shrub, and by
oulivating along parts of tho route many
thousands OF desert plants whose roots re-
tain the sand, has thus far maintained his
road bed without deterioration. The prob
lem OF a water supply was solved by bringing
water In pipes from mountains that skirt two
hundred miles Of the route; also by canals
from the Murghab. while artesisn wells are
the source Of supply between Merv and the
Oxus. In Q region thAs " destitute Of fuel

New York was a Dutch settlement. and up
to the beginning of this century it was en-

OF the denomination; but now. Of course "

Breaking Up Of the United Labor Party

Breaking Up OF the United Labor Party.
About the only event Of importance in local
political circles last week was the starting on
different roads Of those two former friends
and allies. EDWARD McGLYNN and HENRY
GEORGE. The statement made by the former
at Pythsgoras Hall on Thursday night to the
effect that HENRY GEORGE would hereafter
have to travel his own a politically If he
persisted In his free trade ideas. was the
overt declaration Of hostilities which have for
some tme been fermenting. While the Labor

which at other times would not receive much

A Programme From the West.

n KEOKEhIhkAAO CEOAAA SuC CeOs
Tho successive stages OF an irresistible
progress Of Western Democratic leaders arc
all projected in q single issue Of our es-
teemed and entertaining contemporary. tho
Oburier-JOundl.
First comes q contest with tho President
himself, terminating In this manner:
Nj CLxvxLANp's personal views in favor Of one term
will have to give way to the united demand OF the party"
Having conquered Mr.. CLKvEnAND's preju-
dice against denominations, these politicians
will then capture the convention:
mi. CLEVELAND will BE- nominated. though oev. Hnl
should have a solid delegation from New York"
Thus, neither Mr.. CLEVELAND nor even tho
Democracy of the Empire State will avail to
prevent the Presidents denomination.
To the political observer there would 70
main only one element Of serious doubt TO
garding flnal triumph-the uncertainty "a
to New York's electoral vote. Even that
IL provided for In the sanguine calculations
OF the statesmen who In their minds eye have
already brought the Democracy to the crucial
test. The Courier-Journal finally says:
"Mr. oxvrIAxD will DO elected, though New York
should 70 for BLAINE"
These would be highly interesting feats.
The complete political notification, first Of
MIR. ChEvKLAND's sentiments, then Of tho
wishes of tho New York Democrats, and
finally of the Empire States vote, is a con-
ception Of startling assurance and great
originality, considering how politics have
been running for twenty years past; but
Col. WATrERsoN's confidence is rarely below
his courage. and that 10 unwavering.
We would call attention to the probability
that each succeeding one Of these pro-
posed achievements will be more difficult
than tho last. The general idea seems to DO
that Mr.. CLEVELAND would readily resign
his own predictions against a second term.
The second feat, that OF nominating q candi-
date contrary to the advice OF New York,
may prove moro difficult, but 1t was per-
formed only eight years ago Gen. HAM
COCK was nominated, although New York
pronounced for SAMUEL JACKSON RANDALL.
But the third trick has not been done for
twenty years. Gen. HANCOCK was beaten
by failing 10 carry New York. In 1884 the Re-
publicans hoped to pull BLAINE through even
without those celebrated thirty-six votes,
but it wouldn't work and he was beaten too.
Col. WATTERsoN therefore proposes again,
rs it has been proposed before, to carry the
national battle ground to tho Northwest and
knock New York out from her distinction as
the arbiter Of Presidential elections. This is
characteristic plan, and we hear it with
deep attention; but that is but languid indif-
ference compared to the burning interest with
which the public would regard the Democratic
strugglein case 1t should once reach the crisis
beyond which Col. WATTERsoN is 30 confident
Of his ability to carry it successfully.
