Tho French in Timbuctoo.

Within the past few weeks white men,
| for the first time, have walked, undis-
guised. Among the mosques and market
places OF Timbuctoo. The French now hold
the town by force OF arms. They have
already had fight with the fierce Tuaregs,
who have long been potent element
among the populace. and. indeed, had met
them in that neighborhood before. Within
the past four years French gunboats have
twice anchored at Koriume on the Niger.
the port OF Timbuctoo. and nine miles from
that city. Hundreds of Tuareg tents were
scattered over the plain. and the French
| did not attempt to reach the town. They
did not retreat up the river before having
severe fights with the nomads. who blazed
away from the banks. their llintlocks
charged with gunpowder made in the town.
In stronger force the French have now
been able to occupy Timbuctoo. They knew
the enemy they would meet again when
they should finally seize the most famous
town in the western Soudan. Since the
gunboat Mage returned from the neighbor-
hood OF rimbuctoo in 1890. the French have
been planning to plant their flag in the for
hidden city. II is not likely that they have
now taken the final steps without providing
adequate means. not only to occupy the
town. but also to establish themselves
firmly in possession. The recent fight with
the TuareRs occurred on the river, south OF
Timbuctoo, aud Lieut.. JAMES survey of
the river in 1890 shows that the Tuaregs
then held the banks for about fifty miles
above the town.
( By agreement with England. Frances
sphere Of influence extends over nearly all
OF the Sahara desert. Her soldiers at their
Algerian outposts have long looked south
ward over the sandy plains. At last, from
the southern edge, they are looking north
over the great waste that nominally be-
longs to France. The French now occupy
both the northern aud southern frontiers OF
their Saharan domain.
IimbuctOo to-day Is only the shadow of
its former self The time was when the
town did large trade with the Mediter-
ranean States. Sultan Ell kAL of Morocco
planted wooden posts clear across the
desert to mark the best route for caravans
between his dominiOns and Timbuctoo.
The TuaTegs have ruined this caravan
route and almost depopulated the town.
These people are the most formidable
brigands in the world. They are supposed
to number about 10000 souls. and they
have spread their eneampments across the
central Sahara until they now extend from
Ghadames in the north TO Timbuctoo in
the south. Outlawed by all men they
make a phase OF the African question
with which civilization is beginning to deal.
DIR. LEM. who saw them In Timbuctoo in
1850 says that their wild aspect. their faces
half cOrcealed by coverings. their big
swords aud lances never laid aside for an
instant. their rough. loud voices. and their
self-consciOus bearing made a most dis
agreeable impression upon him. The con

Our Relations with Hnvts.

WASHINGTON. Jan. pa double sensation
was furnished by the report published to- day,
that Mr.. Smythe. our Minister at Port au
Prince. has been unwarrantably critlcising and
eensurlng President Hippolyte and by the
statement that Gen. Manigat the well-known
exile and revolutionist. 10 plotting an armed
expedition against Hayti.
1t Ia certainly another queer performance
in our diplomacy II Mr.. Smythe sent to
President Hippolyto q letter complaining
OF his financial and commercial policy, his
mode OF dealing with people suspected OF
being insurgents. his use OF the revenues for
his personal benefit. and OF his administra-
tion generally informing him at the same tim 9
how he ought to run the Government As the
letter has not ret been made public the cor
rectness OF this version OF it must rest on the
account attributed 10 the German Consul By
MIR. Fortune. who tells the story.
What We can be sure OF is that IL Mr. Smyths
has unwarrantably meddled 10 the affairs Of
Hayti. he had u precedent for 1t In Cisvssnd's
far Grosser Interference In the affairs OF Ha-
wall Whatever he said to President Hip
Dolyte. II cannot have been as extraordinary
as what Mr.. Willis. under tho direction OF
Mr. Cleveland. said to President Dole. The
present Haytian Government. like the Ha-
waiian. was established through a revolution
against previously recognized authorities but
u Is sate TO say that Mr.. SmJtho at least did
not accuse Iiippolyte OF owing his power to
score or two OF plottsrs and of usurp!ng au-
thority that still belongs to another. He did
not go to the extreme OF requesting Hippolyte
to abdicate In favor OF Manigat.
Diplomacy Of the sort practised by Blount,
Cleveland. Gresham. and Willis ought not to
be infectious; but II Mr.. Smythe pays for his
superserviceable zeal in practising what he
fances TO be Cleveland methods by being re-
called, he will learn that Mr.. Cleveland claims
. monopoly on those methods and wants them
employed only by instructions from himself.
just now they are for use where republics are
to be pulled down and thrones set up.
II would appear that Minister Smytho's Isc-
ture to llippolyts was given Just as the rsVo-
lutionlsts who have their headquarters at
Jamaica were suspected OF menaeing HaytL
1t Is reported that the steam yacht Natalie,
which left Savannah some days ago. has arms
and ammunition abosrd. aud is Intended for
the use Of ManiGat and his friends. But ac-
cording to some views the craft is only TO be
offered to Manigat. who may have reasons for
not accepting 1t. Whatever the truth as to
this part OF the story, tho smythe affair indi-
Gates that SIR. Cleveland and his followers
seem TO be laundering and slumpinG at vari-
Gus points OF the compass.

The Republican Revival In Alabama

There Is TO be an election In Alabama ON
Aug for Governor and other State off,
GERS. In the last local contest in that State
the Democratic plurality was IL .497 In the
national election following. the CLEVELAND
electoral ticket polled 60 per cent. OF the vote
OF the State. the PopulisI-Iepublican ticket
SO per cent. and the straight Republican
ticket but per cent. Within the past
few days Secretary DELEdos OF the Ala
bama Republican Campaign Committee has
issued call for meeting OF that commit
tee in Birmingham on Feb. 8. The call in
dicates that there will be a Republican
ticket In the State election in August.
1t ends with these words: The Demo-
cratic party is divided. Republicans may
hope for victory II united. in Alabama at
the coming election in August. and GER
tainly will capture in November several
Congress districts"
That Is TO say. the Republicans OF Ala
bama who were knocked out. grounded.
and reduced to per cent. basis Of pros
trate minority in November. 1892. are now
again up and doing. and they think they
discern chance 10 win. Alabama produced
$500, 600 tons Of coal in 1898. 1t had 100000
splndles running in its cotton mills until a
year ago. The product Of pig iron in the
State increased l.32s per cent from 1880 to
1880. and the debt Of the State. in the same
period. was reduced from $3.50 to 40 per
capita. The lumber industries OF Alabama
amount in year to SlO.OOO.OOO. but as the
Southern 7rddesmdH informs US. free lum-
Der hangs over the future prospects Of the
lumber trade like the sword OF DAMoCLEs."
1t is under these circumstances that the
Republicans Of Alabama. who have much
local Democratic support in their opposi-
tion 10 free iron ore and reduced tarin for
manufactured cotton goods. are encouraged
70 make a straightout fight this year and to
cut loose entirely from their Populist allies

Senate OF the United States; and the gen.
eral theory upon which the Republicans at
Trenton have proceeded would find It's par
nllel in the absurd claim that at the Begin
ming Of new session Of Congress the two
thirds OF tho Senate holding over and the
one-third arriving with new credentials
would occupy exactly the same status with
regard to organization and tho determine
ton OF the validity Of the certificates Of the
Incoming third. That Is to say. each session
OF the Senate. according to the Republican
theory, interrupts the continuity OF the
body; and supposing even that every men,
Der % the Incoming class should bring
fraudulent certificate OF his election. they
could all vote equally with the Senators
holding over upon tho validity of their own
election.
Such IL the broad question behind the
contest at Trenton. The Democrats have
steadily asserted a constitutional principle.
In the face uf Misrepresentation aud clamor.
For the consequences oftheir stand they are
not responsible. They may tic up lcgisla-
tion for n month. or for year. II their
position is right for single day. It is right
for a month. or for year: and until the
newly elected Republicans come to them
presenting their certificates in the manner
contemplated by the Constitution. or until
the final judicial authority puts n different
Interpretation upon tho Constitution from
that which is apparent In its plain Lam
guaRe. they will violate their oaths of Office
II they yield to noise. They are the Senate
Of New Jersey. The so-called Republican
Senate" is rump with no moro tito to DO
recognized as part of the Legislature Of
the State than any other conclave Of eleven
private citizens OF New Jersey.
As we have remarked, this essential fact
is now very generally perceived through tho
confusion and tangle which Interested par
tisanship has thrown around the whole
question. And that accounts for the gradual
cessation OF the attempts to represent tho
New Jersey Democratic leaders as rascals
and fools who are trying to steal Legisla-
ture. or to obstruct public business. or to
gain a momentary political advantage by
illegal and revolutionary methods.

Are They Working for a Defeat ?

Some shrewd and cynical Observers hold
that it is good thing for previously VIC
| torious political party to be soundly beaten
| in the Congress elections OF the second year
| OF an Administration. They maintain that
the natural reaction usually sends an
| adverse majority to the House OF Repre-
sentatives in that year. and that tho ex-
treme measures to be expected from this
majority in the year preceding the Presi-
dental election, are likely to produce an
other reaction in favor OF the defeated par
ty. The more powerless and scanty the
minority. tho greater the ease with which
it can be overriddcn. and the greater the
likelihood. it is argued. that the majority
will be rash and oppressive. Besides, an
unduly large majority is clumsy, hard to
manage. and prone to split into factions.
Any skilful party leader would prefer n
compact small majority in the House Of
Representatives to an unwledy majority.
There Is something in these considera-
tons. but they do not apply to the case OF a
party which has control of the Execu-
tive as well as OF both branches OF the
Legislature. and least OF all when that
party has been put into power to accomplish
n certain reform. Such a party must do
what 1t sets out to do and II it does nothing,
the election OF n hostile majority In the
House OF Representatives renders the
whole Administration and the party power
less for any positive use for the next two
years. Nor can the mistakes or excuses OF
such majority do 1t much harm or create
much of a reaction.
The only explanation that we can think
of for the extraordinary course pursued by
Professor WILSON and his pals In proposing
a tariff for deficiency with a noxious and
maniacal income tax to fill In the deficiency.
is that these apparently lubberly econo-
mists are deep statesmen with prodigious
drsughts and tonnage; and that they be-
lieve 1t will be good for the Democracy in
1896 to draw upon the Democracy mem
orabe fustigation in 1894. Possibly. too,
there Is among the Wilsonians some
"reminiscences OF that valorous spirit that
was wont Ia say It was better TO be beaten
with GROVER CLEVELAND than TO win with
anybody else. Such spirit would tend to
the cultivation OF q sort OF resignation.
especially il the beating Is to be both
inevitable and resounding. Moreover, a
desire for certain consistency and COM
pleteness may lead the friends OF the Ad-
ministratlon in the House OF Representa-
tives to wish that the Democratic record in
that body shall not contrast with that made
in the White House. but be OF piece with 1t.
Having been drubbed most damnably in
1898. let us hand ourselves over to the Re-
publicans for total tiaying in 1894. as a
means OF recovering whole skin In 1896. Is
that the notion In the noodles of the Wiso-
MAN wabblers2 Is any other explanation
possible? Do not reject it because it seems
silly. The goose is Sir ISAAC NEWTON COM
pared to some of these Wilsonian rooters
for deficiency and defeat.

For this reason, with others. we think
that the revived and resuscitated Repub-
licans OF Alabama are entitled to no credit
for desiring to :" go It alone. without Popu-
list support or alliance. in August. They
cannot do otherwise. for all the Populsts
are In the Democratic camp. or rapidly
marching in that direction. The sanguine
Republicans OF Alabama. when they assom-
bic In Birmingham on Feb. =. should not
deceive themselves on one point OF chro-
nology. however. The election for Governor
occurs In August. six months distant. and
between February and August the political
situation in their State. as elsewhere. Is
likely to change considerably. Tho Demo-
Gratis of tho United States. the predoml-
nant. plcdgekeeplng. people-serving. level

assert themselves. They will get the po-
litical pay train out Of tho ditch and
back on the track, and then all tho Repub-
licans aud all the Populists in Alabama, COM
bined, allied, and enlisted together, cannot
stay. for fifteen minutes. the triumphant
march OF the victorious Democracy.
So we tell the men who have been sum-
moned to meet in Birmingham on Feb. 8, to
put tho now dlscredited Republicans OF
Alabama on their feet again. that they had
better enjoy themselves and indulge their
minds in fond expectations of triumph.
while the year Is young. In August. things
may DO different. The old Democracy OF
Alabama may be on guard again. ready to
meet all assailants. intruders. and back
sliders as of yore.

The Validity of the New Government
Bonds.

It appears that the capitalists Of this city
hesitate to bid for tho new bonds which
Secretary CARLISLE is Offering them. His
authority tu soil thcm Is doubtful. aud theft
validity may Mt some future time he Gues-
toned II not denied. Whom man Invests
money at tho low rate II interest tho Secre-
tary proposes to pay. he wants security
which Ia above suspicion; aud in this case
he will not get 1t.
It is admitted on all sides that although
the new bonds are to be sold. IL they are
sold at ALL under tho authority conferred
upon the Secretary of the Treasury by the
Resumption act Of 1875. the resulting pro-
ceeds are not to be used as that act directs.
but are to DO diverted to purposes having
not the remotest connection with resurnp-
ton. This. the present Secretary OF the
Treasury regards as an immaterial fact. In
the official statement Of his position, which
was published yesterday. he says:
The question to the authority OF the Secretary OF
the Treasury to the money IN any particular man
FOR any particular purpose Is wholly distinct
from the question to his authority to issue and sell
the bonds No matter ~hat \. do raA n, mon,y. ne
vriIdv The bonds cai not h affected and there is there
fore reason why any one should hesitate to invest
In these securities on the ground that the proceeds
might be used Tor other than redemption purposes"
The people OF this part OF tho country
have more common sense and better
knowledge OF law than the Secretary credits
them with. and they will not DO deceived
by this pettifogging bubble. The selling
Of the bonds and the purpose for which
they are sold are inseparable. Tho Re
sumption act authorizes the Secretary to
sell bonds only to provide and prepare for
the redemption required In that act; and q
sale made for the avowed purpose OF pay
ing pensions. salaries. and current expenses
Is as illegal as II no such act existed.
1t Is well settled as q matter of law. that
promssory note made to be discounted
for a particular purpose. is void. even in
the hands Of an innocent holder without
notice, II 1t is frauduently diverted from
that purpose to one not contemplated by
the maker. Still less may bond. or q
power OF attorney. or any other instrument
under seal DO lawfully used In a manner
which the maker did not authorize. The
people OF the United States have given to
their Secretary OF the Treasury a power to
sell bonds for the purpose Of redeeming the
old legal tender notes; and only so far as he
uses that power for that purpose will they
DO bound by his act. They are not bound
II he exceeds the authority they have given
him. especially when no announces openly
that he Is exceeding it.
There Is but one thing for Secretary CAR
Isle to do as a law-abiding citizen and an
officer Of the Government. 1t is to pay out
the money he has on hand as long as it
lasts. and then TO wait for Congress to pro-
vide him with more. He is not the maker
OF the laws: he can only execute them after
they are made and II trouble results from
his lack Of power he cannot DO blamed.

Comparatively a Noble Proceeding.

II HENRY NJ. SMYTHE. Mr.. CLEvELAND's
Minister to Hayti. wrote a letter to Presi-
dent HIPPoLYTE. scolding him for the way
In which he managed the domestic affairs
OF that republic, he is an impertinent fellow
and an asinine diplomatic agent. But rs
compared with the proceedings OF WILLIS
at Honolulu. his course vas square and
honorable.
According to the report. SMYTHE didn't
know enough to mind his own business, but
when he undertook to interfere with the
business OF the Government to which he
was accredited. he went straight to that
Government and relieved his mind by lee
turing President HIPPoLYTE for what he
esteemed to be his faults and deficiencies
WILLIS. accredited to the Provisional Gov
eminent OF Hawaii. did not carry Mr..
CLEvELAND's complaints OF it to President
DOLE, hut In sneaking and cowardly way
plotted with discarded Hawaiian woman
for its overthrow.
WILLIS went with letter to President
DOLE, In which Mr.. CLEVELAND hailed him
as his Great and Good Friend" Ho went
as the friendly representative OF friendly
Government; and then he set to work to
conspire secretly with the enemies OF Presi-
dent DOLE to deliver him over into their
hands. aud destroy the existing Hawaiian
Government.
That was base and dastardly proceeding:
but in justice TO WILLIS 1t must be said that
he was not responsible for it. He did not
originate the plot; he was only the subser-
Went and willing agent who executed 1t by
command OF Mr.. CLEVELAND. its author.
