Province is Of timely interest. Colonel II. G..
Prout (Baroud Bey of the Turkish Service, a
trusted friend Of Gen. Gordon, writes in the No

der the title Where Emin Is. Emn Pasha was
chief medical officer during Col. Prout's admins
tration, and the latter speaks of him as "a most
valuable adviser and good companion" 1t was

1t does not require one born of a race of
prophets to foresee the humiliation of Ohio
at the hands of the Legislature which the
people OF that State have elected. No State
was ever more disgraced at the hands of its
governing body that was Ohio by the Demo-
cratic Legislature which six years ago elect
ed Henry b. Payne. The corruption

nuence OF the Standard Oil ring
was so evident that the people of Ohio
sought remedy from the Senate of the United
states. And so strong were the evidences
OF corruption that Senator Payne narrowly
escaped suffering an investigation that prom
isei to be most damaging. The success of
the Democrats in o hio will probably create
conditions almost precisely similar to those
existing when the Senatorial contest came ON
six years ago. Mr.. Payne is understood to
feel the charges made against him so deeply
that he will seek reelection in order that he
may be indicated. In such an event, it is
freely predicted that the "vindication" will

often enough to encourage any aspirant to
wait for the next trial. Two formidable
candidates are John R. Mclean of the Gin

and OF great pocket book. MI. Bryce has
a quarter of million dollars that he does
not need, and the Washington correspondent
OF the Boston Transcript says he will give
1t for the Senatorship. Mclean has even
more loose change for the purchase of the
high office. II Payne, after securing a CON-
plimentary election, should retire 'vindica-
ted" these two should wage battle royal.
II Payne should not retire. the resources be-
hind him would probably be equal to con-
fiict with the consolidated bank accounts of
his opponents. 10 any event the disgrace of
Ohio is assured with tolerable certainty.
