racy. It is but difficult to speak of
this branch Of the party in the
language Of polite correspondence.
Let 1T here suffice to say that our
local Democracy is under the do
1ninion of a man who has been pub
Hcly charged with having openly
and notOriOus1y purchased votes on
last election day. This charge has
been strongly supported by the
sworn and recorded testimony of
several citizens; yet, although this
crime against the elective fran
chise is a blow at the very heart
OF our liberty, a crime more dread
ful in its consequences than murder
or open treason, no citizen has yet
manifested sufficient confidence in
the Democratic officers who are
charged with conducting public
prosecutions to even hle a COM
plaint against this alleged Of

The Proof.

A patient in an English insane asy-
lum imagined himself dead, and moth
ing could drive the delusion out of his
brain. One day the physician had a
happy thought, and said to him:
Did you ever see a dead man bleed? d?''
NO" he replied
Did you ever hear of a dead man
bleeding?"
NO"
well, if you will permit me, I will
try an experiment with you, and see If
you bleed or not"
The patient gave his consent, the
doctor whipped out his scalpel and drew
little blood.
There he said, ''you see that you
bleed; that proves that you are not
dead"
Not at ALL" the patient instantly re-
piled; that proves that dead men can
bleed"

NO LONGER A REPUBLIC.

In any country where the military is
the dominating force justice cannot be
assured the people. The military power
always views things from the stand
point of military necessity and military
jealousy. It can. brook no rival in
with the civil power.
In France the army is now the ruler.
IT holds the courts under cow; it COM
pels the civil powers to bend to it's
WILL and 1t menaces the legislative and
executive with the threat that If it's
DEGREES are ignored it may become
necessary, for the honor of France, to
assert military force. No Frenchman
will confess that this is true, but the
impartial on-looker can reach no other
conclusion than this, that the army
rules France to-day, and quite as abso-
lutely as if a military dictatorship was
in the saddle.
If this were not SO, such farce as
the trial of Dreyfus could not have
been carried on, nor would such a trial
as that of OLA have resulted in con-
viction. In short, France Is ruled by
the sentiment of the army, given effect
by the constant menace Of force, and
hence, France has ceased to be re-
public, since military rule and self-goy-
ernment are incompatible. Militarism
in France is practically despotism, and
at this moment it has the reins in hand.
Under this domination personal lib
erty has practically departed, and that
which is parallel with the Spanish in
fanny of incommunicado" has taken it's
place, under which one charged by the
military arm of the Government may
be deprived Of his liberty and kept in
definitely in enforced sequestration
from the world, while his aocusers plot
the scheme of his downfall. In view of
the system of injustice by which, in
France, one is made to bear witness
against himself even when he stands
mute before the judicial inquisitors. we
in America should find our liberties to
be all the more precious.

THE HERO OF OMDURMAN.

The people of England are just now
as proud of General Sir Herbert Kitch-
ener as the American people are of Ad-
miral Dewey " lether England is
justified in her Soudan campaign is not
now in mind, but Kitchener is the hero
Of Khartoum and in a sense may be
said to have avenged the death of Cor
don. He has crushed greatly superior
forces at Omdurman, and achieved a
decisive victory, carrying English CIV
ilization on the point Of the bayonet
into the heart Of Africa. He accom-
plished the triumph with a compare
lively small army because of his ad-
mirable generalship, the skill with
which he kept his men in training
against a most trying climate, and the
rare good judgment he has exercised
in attacking and defending against
tribes with whose methods of warfare
he is familiar.
For General Kitchener is no new hand
in the Soudan. He il was who in 1882
did such splendid work in the task of
y y
forces undertaken by England in that
year. Kitchener was then but q years
of age and a subordinate among many
skilled and aged officers of the British
army. His superior skill was, how
ever, recognized by the veterans and
his ability was given full rein. He
won a Captains epaulettes for his SER
vice in the cavalry reorganization.
Just then the Mahdi was tearing down
the Nile with a mighty force of fanat-
sweeping the dogs Of Christians along
with the Khedive's armies from the face
of the earth. Wolseley was massing
troops to check the Mahdists in their
descent upon Dongola, the loss of which
would have been a terrible disaster as
its Importance is second to that of no
point In the valley Of the Nile. The
English were so far from Dongola that
the hope of reaching there in time to
succor it. was very faint.
Captain Kitchener at this juncture
came forward with a plan that was
adopted. He was permitted to disguise
himself as an Arab and go into the
country and seduce the natives to de-
sert the Mahdist cause. In this he was
so far successful that when the army
arrived Kitchener was actually backed
by a very large body Of natives and
was busy erecting forts and shelters.
After the Nile campaign, which was
one of the severest English troops ever
experienced, Kitchener was appointed
to the Consulate at Zanzibar, and two
wears later was made Governor of Sua-
kim and when the Sirdar relinquished
the command of the Anglo Egyptian
army. Kitchener was called to take his
place. 1t is this same army which
under his sldllful training has become
one of the best fighting and enduring
human machines ever known to the
art of war, which has just vanquished
the rebels of the upper Nile region,
after a campaign Of nearly two years,

The Record Union congratulates
| itself that from the beginning and al
ways, it has been optimistic regarding
the life and destiny of this nation. At
no time has it lost heart for the coun-
try. In the darkest hours of trial if has
held to the great truth that the ma
tional heart is sound and that below
all fears and doubts, all dire forecasts
of national decav under corruption,
| commercialism and the rush and crush
in pursuit of wealth; in the face of isms
and doctrines of impracticable reform
and change of social systems the Amer
| lean sentiment lives strong and virile,
ready for any sacrifice for national
| honor and credit and ever prepared to
manifest itself whenever the need
presents.
We have believed and still hold that
this is the best nation, the best hour,
the wisest, most benificent and humane
Of ages. The manifestations of our
people in the last five months have JUS
titled this abiding faith, and proved
that trust in the American people Is
not misplaced. Guntons magazine for
September we'll reflects this thought
when it says:
During recent years there has been
a growing conviction both at home and
abroad that the Republic was coming
under the yoke Of evil influences and
was slipping back from the high STAN
dards Of its founders; that we were
given over to sordid materialism: that
the American spirit was dead; that our
military and naval establishments
were ineffective bungles, and that the
Will Of the people no longer controlled
public policies. In three short months
these voices have become silent. and
now others are heard. frankly admit
ting what true American patriots have
steadfastly maintained, that under
meath many surface disturbances the
current Of national life has all the time
been running deep, strong and true.
English criticism has changed to re-
spect and warm admiration, while the
dislike of continental Europe is at
least no longer expressed in sneers
This war has shown to the world that
instead Of having sunk into gross ma
terialism we are capable of making
vast sacrifices purely for the sake of a
moral ideal; that our citizen soldiery is
as safe a reliance as the standing ar
mics Of Europe; that our navy is only
excelled by two others, perhaps, in the
world; that public opinion does control
American policies, even to the great
issues of war and peace. The American
spirit has vindieated itself alike in he
roic valor and magnanimous courtesy
to the conquered, and in series of ma
val victories unparalleled for dash and
brilhancy in hitsory.
The Albany Journal we'll says, and
we concur in it's expression, when it
asks:
Is it not refreshing for Americans of
normal mind to read such wholesome
sentiment; to find that we have with
US writers of faith, with courage to
stand up against finical perssimists who
distrust their fellows and can see moth
ing but destruction and chaos in the
future. The words quoted are words
of truth, of soberness and of wisdom
The war has done the things there re-
counted and the American people are
greater and better and broader-with
more confidence in themselves and with
higher hopes for the future, as a result
of the experience OF the last six
months.

CHINA AND REFORM.

we must accept the report of the
intention Of the Emperor of China to
institute a policy of liberalism, toler-
| ance and free speech in his realm with
great deal of caution. The statesmen
OF Japan may, indeed, have prevailed
upon him to make such a declaration,
for it is known that they have been
working with that end in view Japan
sincerely desires to have China get out
from under the shadow of patriarchism,
and come up into the light of modern
civilization. Her own position would
be strengthened by the adoption of such
policy on the part of her neighbor.
But it is altogether too much to ex-
pect such an ancient nation all at once
to change it's system and reverse all
it's traditions. 1t is said that the Em-
peror proposes to make the press free
absolutely; that he has instructed the
editors and publishers to print just
what they wish of current news; to
criticise officials and the Government
freely, and to consider themselves ex-
empt from censorship. He proposes to
solicit the incoming of capital to build
railways and canals, to himself estab-
lish liberal schools; to instruct the
youth Of the land in the several
branches Of secondary and higher edu-
cation, and SO on, through a long
chapter.
But this is too much to expect all at
once. There is limitation even to the
power Of the Chinese autocrat. His
DEGREES in the directions indicated will
be powerless for good unless he wins
over to his views the great mandarin
class, and unless he has the support of
the Viceroys and powerful Governors of
the several provinces or States of the
empire. Moreover, the people cannot be
SUDDENLY inducted into such a radically
changed system. 1t will stir them to a
wrath that even the Emperor may fear,
to be compelled at once to give over
their old traditions and break away
from their established customs, notably
in the matter Of the education of the
young.
If the Chinese Emperor really pro-
poses to institute these great reforms,
he will, If wise proceed with caution
and slowly. He cannot hope to live to
see the full introduction Of the reforms,
young as he is. He can effect notable
changes and, indeed, open the doors Of
China, but it is another thing altogether
to open the marts of a people into
whom it has been bred for centuries
that the worship of patriarchs is the
highest of offices; that the traditions Of
the land are as books of sacred writ;
that woman is being Of lower order
Of existence and cannot be rated the
equal of man; that excIusiveness is a
national virtue; that the presence of
foreigners Is inimical to the State and
that criticism of the officials of the
Emperor must be made by no other
than the imperial power itself. China
will come out into the light but we do
not believe it possible for any Emperor
within the years of his reign to force
her out wholly Her reformation is
to come slowly on, and more than a
generation must pass before complete
emancipation can be had.

during which the army has steadily
advanced, constructing a railway as it
moved, thus keeping in touch with its
base constantly.
On this line of rail General Kitchener
has carried a number of modern gun
boats in sections, so fitted that they
could be quickly Joined and the boats
launched as needed. OF course such
movement has been very slow, but it
has been steady and every foot of
ground gained has been held beyond
possibility of loss. Thus has English
supremacy in the Soudan been re-es-
tablished with the advance Of the army.
Omdurman, the city Kitchener has just
taken, is on the Nile Immediately OPP
posite to Khartoum, hence Kitchener
is spoken of as the hero of Khartoum,
the city in which the gallant Gordon
was assassinated some sixteen years
ago.
General Kitchener will probably rest
a longer time at Omdurman than at
that the new center of base but he
will after time push on with the pur-
pose of reaching Uganda, which when
accomplished will give to him control
of the entire valley of the Nile, for he
has kept the enemy before him con-
stantly and so that if Uganda is taken
the army of the foe will be flying into
the trackless desert country of the in
terror of the continent and wholly out
of what is now known as the Empire Of
the Mahdi
But the distance to be traversed be-
fore the General can hope to see
British army encamped upon the shores
Of Lake Nyanza is double that he has
made in reaching Omdurman and the
way grows more difficult as he pro-
crosses, while his supplies must be
moved longer distances and will be
more difficult to protect. Before the
British arms reach Uganda then, If in
deed they do not stop short of that dis
tant point, years must elapse. But
when the task is completed the sover-
eign power of Victoria will extend over
the very heart of the African conti-
nent; millions Of people who now
know Of her only as a foe and as one
whose armies have been relentless and
often merciless, as are their own, will
have become subject to her rule and
English Notifications will line the Nile
from the southern borders of Egypt to
the headwaters of the great river. 1t
is a gigantic task that is planned, this
subsection of the Soudan to the rule Of
the Briton.

On the 10Th Of February last, from
his place in Congress, Mr.. Mcguire de-
clared in a speech then delivered, that
Socialists, Populists and charity
mongers are all barking up the wrong
tree. The upas of our civil nation is
the treatment of land. It is that which
is converting even the march of inven-
ton into a blight There is but one cure
for business depression-there is no
other; that is the single tax" If Mr..
Mcguire was sincere then, he cannot
be so now, because he is campaigning
for and stands upon the platform Of a
party which he then declared to be
barking up the wrong tree.
