ENGLAND and Africa.

Tho evidence that the descent upon the
lower Nile Of the Dervishes under NAD-EI-
jun is not one Of the periodical raids of
neghboring tribes accumulates, and justi-
fes the assumption that the vicinity OF
Waddy Halfa and Assouan is not the only
place on the Dark Continent at which hos
tilities may be expected in the near future.
The report that Shoik FL SESussTs general
had captured Khartoum has never been
denied. On the contrary it would seem to
be confirmed by the Nile movement, for
unless ABU GHAMzA had succeeded III fully
overtbrowing the power of the kHA-
LIZA ADDULLAH it is hardly probable
that an expedition could safely have
been sent out from Kordofan to conquer
the world" It will be remembered that
when rumOrs OF the triumphs OF the Senus-
sis were first received fear was expressed
that ABU GHAMZA, or rather his master at
Tripoli, would not be content with the
opening up through the Soudan OF the phi
grim route to Mecca and the removal OF
restrictions upon trade, but would adj
vance northward and make descent upon
Nubia and Egypt. That fear seems TO
have been realized. But reasoning upon
the hypothesis that NAD-EL-JUMus fol-
lowers had safe conduct from kordo-
fan TO the Nile near Waddy Halta,
or in other words, had the sympa-
thy Of the tribes between those two
points-and the fact that they are re-
celving relnfOrcements from tue south IN
dicates that they had-is it TO be expected
that the tribes in the Red Sea httoral Will
fail to become infected and make another
advance on Suakim? Again, with khar-
toum and the province of Seminar In the
possession of the Senussis. Is 1t not to be
expected that the movement VIII spread
eastward in the direction Of Massowah!
II is easy 10 understand that in the two lat
ter contingencies both the Egyptians atSua-
kim and Englands Italian allies at Masso-
wah would have 10 be heavily reinforced
The territory over which the Senussis trade
from Tripoli TO Wadai, and in which the
tribes are all under their influence, paral-
lels the Nile. ana though the Libyan desert
lies between, this desert il towards the
south crossed by several caravan routes,
a fact that aside from other considerations
would necessitate the guarding Of the
Nile as far at least as Korti, the point from
which the WoIsELRY expedition made itS
march and fought its way across the Ba-
hiuda desert to Metemneh. Thus it Will
be seen three large expeditions would have
to be sent TO Africa at an expense that We
NAV well assume would compel the British
Government to abandon the policy of
butcher and bolt" and substitute
for it policy Of butcher and stay, and
develop the country. These expeditions
would pile up to such an extent the debt
Africa owes England thatt Government
would no longer be able to resist the de
mand of the British taxpayers that pay
ment be forced by thorough and decisive
measures for reconquering the Soudan and
reannexing it to Egypt.

The Extra Session.

We are glad to learn that the Democratic
congressman now in Washington are alive
to their duty in the matter of keeping an
open eve upon the Republican tricksters,
who propose, as q means Of insuring Re
publican majority in the House of Repre-
sentatives, 10 call an extra session for the
purpose Of organizing that body month
or two before the usual time for the meeting
Of Congress. Let the Republicans secure
control OF the House and of its committees
and officers without having bound them
selves to respect the rights of the
minority and the result will certainly be
the extrusion Of number of Democratic
members, and what is much worse, law
putting all congressional elections into the
hands Of negroes and other Republican
partisans. The darkest days the South
ever saw in reconstruction times would or
might be more than paralleled by the re-
suits of law turning all the congress
sional districts in the South over TO the
negroes. In those dark days we had
United States army officers 10 appoint
the officers Of election and to see
that the elections were properly held.
Under the new Republican law we should
have etnbittered, unprincipled white
partisans and ignorant negroes electing or
rather selecting or appointing congress
men from all the southern States. MA
HOMES tissue-baliots would be- forgotten in
the food Of Republican ballots which the
negroes and mean whites would "count"
for the Repubheap nominees for Congress-
Negro suffrage itself is hardly worse evil
than would be q national election law.
Starr Chamber proceedings would pale their
Intellectual fires in the presence Of such a
mammoth wrong.

SUGAR.-The Philadelphia Record says
that the present high price Of sugar in this
country is due to the tariff upon that ne
cessary Of life. Then why not abolish that
tariff? If there is any one article that
ought to reach the people free Of customs
duties it is sugar. A free breakfast table "
was the watchword of the Democrats in the
House of Representatives some years ago
when they were working for the abolition
of the tariff on coffee and tea. The same
cry would be a good one for the Democrats
of Virginia to use during the fall campaign.

A Suggestion for Satisfactory Bankrupt
Law.
To he Editor Of he Dispatch:


At the last meeting Of the Richmond
Chamber of Commerce very interesting
discussion on the possibility of having a
satisfactory bankrupt law was held. BY
the action of the Chamber in sending a
delegate TO the Minneapolis convention.
where the subject will be considered and
Congress petitioned ON the result of its de-
alterations, it would seem that such law
is thought to be practicable. There can
be no doubt about the fact that 1t is. The
law in Virginia to-day is wrong in allowing
preferences to creditors at the will of the
party making the deed. It's practical
working is detrimental in the extreme, as
it puts in the power of dishonest man
the right of saying who shall suffer by his
failure to meet his financial obligations.
He is responsible TO no one for the exer-
else of this power except the judgment
lien side of the courts of law and equity,
where the poor creditor may record his
judgment and hold 1t over the recalcitrant
debtor IN the hope that he may catch
something or other in this legal drag-net.

deed Of assignment will be declared invalid,
