Democratic meeting at Albany In June. 1863
condemning the arrest OF Clement l.. Vallan-

Mr.. VallandiEham." says Mr. Lincoln,
"avows his hostility to the War on tho part OF
the Union and his arrest was made because he
was laboring. with some effect to prevent the
raising OF troops. to encourage desertion from
the army and to leave the Rebellion without ad-
squatO military force to suppress 1t. He was
warning upon the military and this gave the
military constitutional jurisdiction to lay
hands upon him.

The War Against Prosperity.

While all the Democratic gongs and tom.
toms are resounding against the trusts,
persons who continue to wear their heads
will not forget what Is the real motive Of
the hubbub. How often in 1896 did Mr..
BRYAN denounce the Money Trust2 How
often since has he called that creature Of
his fancy the greatest Of trusts2
In declaring against trusts and corpora
tions he and his associates are simply fol-
lowing the Democratic policy. the Chicago
platform The money power, capital,
business that yields profitable returns,
are the enemies against which the
fierce, envious destructive, ignorant radl-
calism which Is now the Democratic party
has fought since 1896. Whatever Is
accepted by and established in the world
Of business must be thrown down as
oppressive to "the poor" the producing
classes, ;" by the Bryanite ranters. Whether
the gold standard or trusts and corpora
tions are attacked, the motive OF the attack
Is the same. The Bryanite process Is to
intlame discomfort, to set the unprosperous
against the prosperous, to instl into the
minds Of muItitudes the belief that they
are "wronged" by 1.-The rich"
The Democratic antitrust movement Is
brother or first cousin OF Sixteen to One,
and its neck will be wrung like the other.

OF the city has been subjected; second, to
the very numerous and thorough dlsinfec-
lions that have been made In both public
and private buildings, and, third to the
practice Of a complete isolation OF the
patient and the dslnfection or In many cases
the complete destruction Of his effects.
Gen. LUDLOW makes certain recommen-
dations that coming from him have impor-
lance. He suggests an equitable division
OF the surplus customs revenues among the
different departments. in proportion to their
population, area and special needs; In Hav-
ana province the needs are thorough santa
ton, schools and roads. He would have
reform Of the tax schedules involving GER
tain increases Of taxation (the taxation in
Havana is one-half or one-third that in
similar cities OF the United States). He
would annex ReRla. the Jersey City Of Hav-
ana, to the city, 80 that 1t would be under
the same government and have the same
privileges. He would reduce the Municipal
Council by one-half, from thirty to fifteen
and would pay the members, who
now. except the Mayor, serve without pay
He would separate the functions Of the Civil
Governor, who is head of the province,
from those Of the Mayor OF the city; at
present, the Governor performs many acts
properly belonging to the local authorities.
The General desires the formation OF
Bureau Of Statistics, Of Magistrates Courts,
and of Police Courts, and the due recog-
milton OF the autonomy and individuality
OF the several municipalities In each prov
ince, and the several provinces them
selves"
The report contains appendices in the
shape of reports from Gen. LUDLows staff
officers. The entire volume Is OF interest
especially as describing the rehabilitation
Of Havana. An immense amount OF sani-
tary work has been performed under his
supervision, and his report. while nominally
a military document, is an important con-
tribution to the modern literature Of sani-
taton.

Moving Against the Khalifa.

The Mahdi's successor has been carrying
things with high hand In the Nile Valley
and west OF it for about $50 to $50 miles
south Of Khartoum. His doings have not
been checked during the rainy season, now
ending, because the valleys leading to the
Nile which KrroHENER's force must ascend
to reach the Khalifa have been flooded, as
usual, and almost impossible for military
expedition. These caravan routes will be
open again next month and Omdurman is
now alive with the preparations for the
coming campaign.
The rainy season has not deferred the
Khalifa from raiding the tribes for a
hundred miles around his camp for the
double purpose OF recruiting his forces and
collecting food supplies for his small army.
In July his force was reported to number
5000 men and it has been augmented so
considerably since then that strong expe-
dition must be sent against him. We shall
soon hear OF the British army and camel
train marching over the Kordofan steppe
IN pursuit Of him. There can be no peace
in the Egyptian Soudan till the Khalfa Is
suppressed.

MARK HANNA and the Octopus are unfail-
ing resources for failing inventiveness
When Democratic newspapers have space
to fill aud no ideas Of special account with
which to occupy the vacancy. they turn to
and belabor either the mythical monster or
the Senator from Ohio, which to some minds
amounts to the same thing.
This specimen Is from the Republic OF st.
Louis, journal that Is not always silly:

evil developments In that life brought about By tho

common people represent to MARX HANNA only the
material out Of which to squeeze the things de.
sired by the syndicates"
Politics in Ohio and politics In the United
States are neither more nor less corrupt
because Of the appearance OF MARK HANNA
in public life. The relation OF business
to legislation is no different from what
1t was before he entered the Senate. AS
manager Of campaigns Mr.. HANNA dis
played a swift genius for organization
and administration, and a comprehensive
grasp Of details such as all OF his pre-
decessors had not possessed. He changed
no methods. He lowered no political
standards. AS q Senator he Is no more
selfish than were most OF the statesmen
OF this country's better and purer days"
As an individual his devotion to the
almighty dollar Is no more strenuous than
Mr.. WILLIAM j. BRYAN's, for example.
The MARK HANNA caricatured in the pages
Of the yellow journals and vigorously
abused in the editorial columns OF the
Bryanite press. is as much OF creation Of
the Imagination as its constant companion,
the Octopus.
The 81. Louis Republic thinks that "this
man has served good purpose In American
politics by sckening the people OF states
manship for the benefit OF the rich at the
expense Of the poor" 1t is quite true
that Mr.. HANNA has served a good pur-
pose in American politics, though not
exactly in that way. II he had not turned
his attention to politics, primarily for the
benefit Of his friend Major MCKINLEY and
the gloriflcation Of Ohio. it Is quite possible
that this country might now be struggling
to extricate itself from the mud Of national
dishonor instead Of sailing serenely along
on the high sea Of prosperity.
