The American Economist. which claims
to he the official organ of the American
protective tariff league. is a good deal ex'
ercised about the attacks which certain
prominent republican journals are max
ing upon the sugar trust and certain 9th
er trusts. The Economist remarks IS TO
one of these attacks Tin the New York
Tribune that il ''is more like the mis-
chievous hsrrangues of an irresponsible
demagogue than the thoughtful, well
considered reflections of an intelligent,
sober metropolitan editor" As to the
sugar trust. it declares that combination
to protect themselves (the refiners) and
those in their employ would seem to be
not only legitimate but for the advantage
of the community"
The way the refiners, by combining
protect those in their employ" is by
closing down big refineries, and depriving
the men employed therein of means Of
livelihood. The way they have advsn-
tagged the community with their trust il
by increasing the price of sugar about 2(
per cent.
The New York Tribune, the Chicago
Tribune. the Chicago Inter Ocean, the St
Louis Globe Democrat. the Cincinnati Com
mercidl- Gazette, the Boston advertiser anC
the Hartford Postal republican paper.
have denounced the sugar trust fol
practicing extortion, and have demanded
that the tariff duties which make this ex,
tortion possible shall be repealed or re-
duced. In doing this they literally give
away the whole case for the protection
lists. and we don't wonder that the EcOnO-
mist-"organ of the American protective
tariff lesgue"-should be grieved therest.
But it is interesting to notice that in call.
ing these innocent organs of protection
to account, the necessities OF its argument
require it to defend the sugar trust, and
by implication all other conspiracies in
restraint of trade organized under the
shelter of protection to American indus
try"
And the Economist. it will be remem-
bered. is the same sheet which pr0claims
week after week. that the object of pro-
lection is to increase the wages of labor
and reduce the prices of commodities.

ing the recent decision of Solicitor of the

Stoddard, English literature.
Everything Arranged.
After the rendering of Mr.. Hepburn's
opinion the matter was carried before the
attorney general, hoping for a reversal of
decision, but the attorney general declined
to take up the csse because it was yet
Hypothetical. He would give no opinion
until the arrival in this country of the par
ties referred to. Since that time every thing
has been arranged, il is understood, to the
entire satisfaction of the university author
tiles.

They have been given assurances that their
foreign educators will not be interfered with,
so a gentleman, government official OF
high standing, sail Friday. There will be no
difficulty whatever, he said The professors

A Negro Revolt.


Mr.. John ]. Jones and quite num-
Der of prominent colored republicans Of
Springfield, this state, have issued call
for conference of leading men to be
held 10 that city October Z, for the pur-
pose of discussing some important matt
tiers relative to the advancement and
welfare of the race. Rev. Geo. G. Booth
and other prominent colored men will be
there and address the conference. In
vitations are now being sent out in diff
ferent parts of the state for the active
and leading men to attend. 1t will no
doubt be the most important assemblsge
of representative negroes that has ever
been held in this or any of the western
states. In speaking of the objects of the
meeting the Chicago Sentinel. weekly
paper devoted to the interests of the
negro race. says:
The object of the meeting is not fully
set forth IN the call. but We are disposed
TO believe that the colored republicans OF
the state desire to meet TO express their
Indignation relative to the manner in
which they have been treated at the
hands of President Harrison and Gov
Fifer. We have been reliably informed
that similar meeting will be held in
New York. Indiana and Ohio. The col
ored voters in these states hold the ball
ance of power between the two parties
We think that there will be an open re-
volt on the part of the colored contingent
against the republican party. Harrison S
idea of white mans republican party is
an attack upon their pride and manhood
lit is revolving to them. and We think
that they will resent it.

LONDON Aug. 5.-England is drawing
long breath of relief after the news OF the
complete rout Of her enemies in Egypt on
the banks of the Nile early Saturday morn
ing. Further details of the battle received
here describe it as a scene of revolving
slaughter, such as could scarcely occur where
both combatants are civilized soldiers. Nor
does the responsibility for the butchery rest
upon the English troops and their Egyptian
allies.
Victory or Death with Them.
Long after the fate o the day had been
decided after all hope of recovering their
lost ground must have been abandoned by
the fanatical dervishes, they continued to
hurl themselves upon their foes only to be
| mercilessly moved down as ripe grain before
the reaper. They refused all quarter and
gave none, but with grim determination
that knew but two issues to fght-victory
or death-they fought as bravely and as
stubbornly when the deadly fire of their enc
| mics had cut great swathes in their ranks,
| and when every movement was hampered
by the piled up bodies of their own dead, as
| when first with unbroken front and confident
of victory, they faced their foes
The Dervisb Leader Killed.
| 1t was while leading the scattered rem
nants of his brave warriors in this forlorn
| hope that the Dervish leader, Wad-el N'jumi,
fell, pierced by bullet in his brain. His
followers, nothing daunted by his fate,
| dashed themselves over and over again upon
the pitiless and unbroken line of rifle barrels
in front of them, and kept up the fight long
after every vestige of organization among
them had been destroyed, and when nothing
was lett for the scattered fanatics but to sell
their lives as dearly as possible. SO it came
that fu ly one-half of the invaders force
was left dead upon the field.
The Arab Force Wiped Out.
| The small number OF fighting which
Wad-el n jumi brought into the engagement
is a complete surprise. All estimates hereto
| fore credited him with an available force of
no less than 4, 900 men, while it turns out
| that he could not at any time have had more
| than half that number. The whole Dervisb
force is NOW completely wiped out and all
| immediate danger of an invasion from that
quarter is at an end. -
