Randalls way to pay little attention to these
assaults upon him. At least, he does not stop
to reply in words. What he does do is to con-
time TO hold his place in the Democratic party.
After fierce denunciation. Of which he is the
victim, he appears in his familiar hauntS Wig
orous as ever and with plenty Of strong friends

met. for example. it had been given out that
he had lost his usefulness as a Democrat, that
he was merely a Republican in disguise and

to Mr.. Randall. When the Lth Congress went

tically the same strain that it now employs.
It had him stepping from his Congressional

II The Republic and the other members Of
the anti Randall choir were wise they would
keep quiet-at least, for the present. For this
is a bad year for attacks on Randall, and it il
strange that they do not appreciate that fact

vDIsV NEGOTIATIONS.

Tho Commissioners of the United states have
had three unsuccessful pow-wows with the CHIP
neua Indians. and there is no present reason
70 sunnosa that they will be more fortunate in
tho fo,n4b which has been agreed upon. Tho
ooro,aI conviction was when the Sioux refused
70 accent the Government offer for their lands
\ wear ago that they had conducted the nego-
tiotions very shrewdly for themselves, that
their holdings were worth more than the sum
proposed TO be paid for them and that their
dissemination to hold off would result in raising
tbo G overnment price. The result has justified
,hosa cancellations. and everybody ought TO he
olod that if has. The Indians are entitled to
make a. good bargain as they can, and that
il the way. we believe. in which great ma
iority Of the people look ut the matter
rho Commissioners now negotiating with the
CLinnev,s are men Of excellent character and
of tbe rigbt temperament for business of this
delicate nature. We hope they may yet sue
coed in convincing the indians OF the adVan-
tage Of accepting the propositions OF the toy
eminent. Such an agreement would doubtless
he to the interest Of both races, but 1t would be
e. more importance 10 the red men than TO the
white The condition of the Chippewas is in
many respects unfortunate, but chiefly because
they are surrounded by white settlers who do
not give them half chance. and through inter
course with whom they are rapidly degenerat-
ing. physically and morally IL is not surprising
that the Indians are disposed to look upon any
change of circumstances proposed by the Gov
eminent as another step toward their own ruin.
They have been numerically swinded times
without number, but there is ground for hope
that this shameful record will not be heightened
hereafter. The National conscience has been
stimulated to the point of demanding that
promises made to Indians shall be kept in the
future. The hateful passions of individuals
will continue to find outlets on Indian soil. but
the day of National participation in the fruits
Of treachery has gone by.

MARCH OF THE DERTTCHFS

The defeated dervisheS instead Of diSap-
pearing in the deserts west of the Nile. are
steldily advancing northwald. Colonel WOde-
houses battles occurred near the Second Cat
aract, and the main line of frontier defence il
at ASSouan, in the vicinity of the First Cat
aIact The Nile between these points pur-
sues a toItuOuS course through two degrees Of
latitude. Wad ell Ndjumi, leader OF the der
wishes has before him long line Of march be-
fore he can reach General Grenfelfs picketS in
the north, and he is closely pursued by Colonel
WodehOuSe and the Egyptians, who have al
ready been successful in the open field and
have either slain or captured . 90 desert war
riOrS. The northern march of the I 900 der
wishes after defeat and overwhelming losses is
only applicable as an indication Of the frenzy
Of fanaticsm. Wad ell Ndjumi probably hopes
to recruit his shattered forces as he advances
down the river and raises the signal for re-
volt among the native tribes. The Nile pop
uatiOn which witnessed the progress Of Lord
WoSeleyS army few years ago will not be
likely to take fire when the dervishes, already
demorazed by defeat, appear in the villages
preaching the overthrow Of the enemies Of the
Prophet and the Arab race.
While the danger Of an invasion of Lower
Egypt does not seem to be either imminent or
serious. the British Government will make use
Of the movement Of the deryiSheS as a con-
yenent preteXt for cOunteracting the French
demand for evacuation. Active measures Will
be adopted for the protection of the ASSouan
frontier and regiments and guns will be sent
to the front. With the contingency Of the de-
yastation Of the reaches of the Nile between
the first two cataracts and subsequent masSacreS
and terrorism between the frontier and Cairo,
.lr withdrawal Of the English garrison IS
demonstrated anew to be impracticable and the
French demand unreasonable The British
authorities in Egypt will have strong motive
for magnifyng the peril to which the country
is exposed, and Ministers in London will be
grateful to the deryishes for promoting the
ends Of diplomacy.

is RANDALL LONFLYf

There is good reason for believing that in not
few Democratic newspaper Offices in the
United States the understanding is that when
ever member Of the editorial staff is at a loss
what to write about he shall proceed TO attack
Samuel j. Randall For Randall catches it in
season and out Of season from these journals.
At stated intervals for many years they have
read him out of the Democratic party, have re-
lieYed him of the confidence Of his cOnStitu-
entS. and have made awful ShipwrecIl of his
political future. The last Of these attacks upon
him comes from "The St. Louis Republic" 1t
asserts that Mr.. Randall is merely "a Repub-
lican tool, and wornout tool at that. Ii tries
to belittle him. remarking that he exercised no
influence in the last Congress. Then, after an
nouncing that neither Republicans nor Demo
Gratis seem to have any further use for him. il
concludes by naming him the lonesomest man
in American politics
If Mr.. Randall reads this series of articles
how he must smile. How often, if he had re-
spect to what these savage Democratic critics
say, he would have been compelled to admit
that he was politically speaking not only lone
some but dead-dead in the first degree. with no

The evidence taken at Red Bank yesterday
shows that the crossing at Little Silver, where
the fatal accident occurred a week ago, is a
particularly dangerous one. northbound
train had just passed when the carriage was
driven on the tracks the occupants of the car
liage being prevented by that train from seeing
the express, which was laundering down upon
them at forty miles an hour. No fiagm1n was
there to give them warning. One witness
testified that the crossing was so dangerous
that he would go some distance ont of his way
to avoid it, The jury cenSured the railroad
company for failing to provide gates or a flag
man. One Of these is most certainly indlS-
pensabe at every similar crossing, but the only
plan to insure safety is TO do away with grade
crossings altogether, especially on railroads

The meeting Of the National Christian EndCavor

The meeting Of the National Christian Endeavor
Convention in Philadelphia calls general attcn-
ton TO the remarkable growth of this and similar
movements in recent years. The Christian En-
deavor societies, as their name indicates, have
for their object the promotion of Christion effort
among members OF the various churches. The
Kings Daughters is another large and fourishng
organization, the aim of which is to develop
Christian and helpful spirit among women Still
another organization is the White Cross Society,
which has for its object the incubation Of social
purity The important fact to be noted in regard
to all these movements is, that they concern them
selves almost entirely with the building up OF
Christian character And while, of course, they
work in harmony with the organized churches, it
is not their aim TO promote ecclesasticiSm as such
in any form. Their popularity and success show
in a very striking way how practical modern
Christianity is So long "a, such organizations
exist there is little danger TO be apprchendcd from
the growth Of merely formal ecclcSiastcism

Following the reorganization recently effect
ed in the Navy Department, an order con-
solidating several divisions Of the War De-
,artment is about to be promulgated. The
purpose Of the changes that will be made is to
secure greater efficiency, to simplify and syS-
tematize certain branches of work, and to re-
duce the number of clerks employed. One Of
the things aimed at is to preserve and classify
the original records of the volunteer forces in
the Civil War The accessibility OF these
records has an important bearing on the ques-
ton of pensions, apart from the deSlrability
of preserving them as valuable portion Of
