A PERIL PASSED.

There was quite lighting up of countenanccs
on the benches round the fountain in the City
Hall Park Yesterday morning visible tremor
of satisfaction and JOY, such as creeps over
one whom a great peril has Just passed and
left scathleSs. The benches became radiant.
Travelling men, who had been on the road all
summer and had no increase III wages. and
were now on their uppers III consequence OF
the duty laid on kid gloves by the infamous
Mckinley bill, exchanged smiles. The scnsa
ton ovcrhowed into Printing House square,
and gradually spread up through the Bowcry
and over into Avehue A. For several day ys
there had been a growing feeling among the
habitucS Of the benches. i'll view OF the great
inheritance of the coming election. that they
were in danger. more or less imminent, of being
bribed This feeling has prevailed b con-
siderable extent all along the Bowery and over
into Avenue a, particularly among that large
and influential class who make a speciality Of
the purity of elections between drinks and
who for several weeks before an election, hard
ly venture out Of sight of the barkeeper for
fear Of being cclruptly approached. Many of
these have dwclt upon the lurid horrors of a
corrupted franchise and purchasabc vote until
their voices have become husky, their noses
mahogany color, and their eyes almost "sot."
This year they have been more nervous than
ever on account of tho rumors which have been
rife that the monopolists have raised several
million dollars for corrupt purposes
Since these reports became current the most
casual observer could hardly fail to notice the
shrinking timidity Of the occupants of the
benches All day long they seemed to have
that far-away look-the fixed, stony stare-of
man whose mind is absorbed in the contem-
plation of hideous possibility that he may
be coruptly approached. 1t likewise kept
them awake nights. The fear lest some ennis
sary of the monopolists might come round and
brbe them without their knowing it inter-
fered with their rest. Some of them slept with
one eye open. Only those who have crossed
the Park at midnight and heard the pathetic
appeal, For the love OF Heaven give me 10
cents TO buy drink before somebody comes
along and tries 10 bribc me-" know the pers
in which our fellow-citizens who sleep in the
Park have been placed by the gigantic con-
spiracy of the monopolists To corrupt them.
And only those belated wayfarers who have
been held up by these gentlemen, and have
heard from their own lips in all languages, in
cluding profanc. the story of their devotion to
free institutions, including the lunch, and hov.
they have refrained from manual labor all their
lives in order not to expose themselves to the
danger of being tampcrcd with by monopo-
lists can appreciate how deeply grounded and
sincere were their apprchcnsons of being
bribed. They showed it in every motion, par

THE FALL OF BEXAN/IN.

Latest adyices from Porto NOyo amply con-
firm the opinion, expressed at the outset OF
Colonel Dodiss expedition, that the little
French column would easily vanqush the
savage forces of King Bchanzin. Colonel
Dodds has always been noted for resolution
and for tactuInty, and also equally for the
strict tnthfulncSs of his laconc reports. We
may, therefore, place full confidence in his brief
announcements OF victory though imagination
must supply or patience await the details. What
is certain is this: that near the end Of Sep
tember his column of loo mixed troops met
4 900 of the flower Of the Dahoman army,
and. with a loss Of only I / men, killed 100
and scattered the rest in hopeless flight that
on October he came upon the entire remain
ing army. led by the King in person. and in
hicted upon it an equally decisive, though less
sanguinary, defeat that on October another
important victory was gained and that thus,
at the present time Colonel Dodds has Behanzin
and the remnant of his army in the last
ditch" Thus with the loss of only handful
of his men he has practically annhilated an
army ten times as great as his, has destroyed
the prestige of the King, and has now the
capital of the country within his grasp. There

What the next move will be is a matter Of
speculation. But it is scarcely probable that
the French column will move on to a general
conquest of the country, if even to occupation
of Abomoy. TO do so would be to exasperate
the whole native population, which is now by
no means unfriendly. Indeed, the Dahomans
regard the French with gratitude for over
throwing all insufferable tyiant. Therefore,
the part of wisdom would seem TO be to rest
content with the destruction Of Behanzin's army
and the capture of Cana, the royal buryng-
place and religious capital. These two strokes
are sufficient TO destroy the Kings military
prestige and also his religious influence as chief
priest of the nation 70 deprive him of all pop
ular support and to drive him, according to
the fashion of the land to suicide Then,
whether he were succeeded by one king or by
several chiefs ruling parts of the dismembered
Kingdom, tho new government would surely be
subscryient TO the French, and the establish
ment of Resident in each province would
make Dahomey proteCtOrate OF France.
Such q course as this seems probable for
several reasons France does not want to annex
Dahomey at any rate, not now. She can do
so whenever she plcases, and no matter how
long she waits no other Power will poach on
her preserves in that direction. Naturally,
therefore. she prefers to expend her aggressive
force elsewhere-in Morocco. at Lake Tchad, or
