TWO OPPOSITION PARTIES.

1t is an interesting coincidence that the two
great English speaking nations are at the
present moment in the midst of general cleo
tOral campaigns In the elder and reputedly
more conservative of the two the campaign
began much later than in the other, and will
be shorter and will end much earlier In each
case the result of the election will determine
the political complexion and policy of the execu-
tive administration and of the popular branch
of the national legislature probably for sew
eral years to come. In each, too, the present
Government party, which came into power
few years ago with overwhelming majority
Is hopeful and expecJant of a new term.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of the
situation is found in the likenesses and con-
trasts between the two opposition parties the
Liberals in Great Britain and the Democrats
in the United States. Each of these was only
a few years ago triumphant, under leader of
more than ordinary ability and authority Each
of them, through arbitrary leadership, not to
say bossism and through an excess of enthusi-
asm over discretion, suffered not only defeat
but disruption Each of them, in consequence
remains to this day almost hopeessly weak
ened and demoralized with many of its best
leaders and 4 considerable share of its members
gone over to the other side. We would not of
course, do Gladstone and Home Rule the in
justice of comparing them. intellectually or
morally, with Mr.. Bryan and Free Silver. There
are, as we have said, both rzenesses and con-
trasts, even in the same details
In the present campaign, moreover, it is of
interest to observe that each opposition party
is trying TO put out of sight though vainly.
the great issue on which it was beaten and
broken, and which it lately declared was so alb
solutely paramount to block the way to
consideration of anything else The British
Liberals thus try to shelve Home Rule. with
out the courage frankly to repudiate 1t, and
the Democrats in the United States endeavor
to mask Free Silver though without daring or
even wishing really to relinquish it. In each
case the effort is as futile as it is insincere
1t fails to WOO back the majority of those who
were alienated from the party by the obnoxious
issue. In each case, too question is raised
concerning a war, for which the opposition was
morally as much responsible as the Govern
ment. But there is a difference, in that the
British Liberals accept the results of their war
and criticise only the conduct of it, while the
Democrats Of the United States do not venture
to attack the conduct of our war. but content
themselves with affecting to dlsapprove its re-
suits
1t may be added that while the British Lib
erals admit that they have no hope of winning
the election, the Democrats here profess to have
such hope radiant with all iridescent hues Ger
tainly the latter have more ground for their
hope than the former could have But the chief
application of that remark is to point out the
phenomenal hOpelessness of the former

We are in receipt of the following letter from
a we'll known citizen Of New-York and reader
of The Tribune:
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In conversation with a friend yesterday

The facts as published in our columns in April
1899, were, in brief, as follows: In the opening
UP Of the Soudan to civilization. which followed
close upon General Kitchener's march to
khartoum, railroad was deemed an essential
factor, and in order that there might be no re-
action or recrudescence of Mahdsm it was
necessary that the road should be constructed
at the earliest possible moment General
Kitchener had already carried the road forward
with him long way. But at the crossing of
the Atbara the great Abyssinian tributary of
the Nile long and high steel bridge was re-
quired, such as could not be provided by any
artisans in Egypt. Lord Cromer, the British
administrator in Egypt, thereupon made known
from the chief engineering works of Great
Britain. In view of the urgency of the case he
also submitted the plans to some American
bridge makers. The result was that the latter
offered to build the bridge more cheaply and TO
do the work much more quickly than any Brit
ish firm could do It, and the contract was con-
sequently awarded TO an American firm, which
built the bridge well within the specified time
and to the entire satisfaction of the Anglo
Egyptian Government inspectors. 1t was sim

which the British competitors were fairly
beaten by their American rivals II is trra

incident was, and was on both sides of the
ocean recognized to be, a signal triumph Of
American industry under the stimulating agency
of a protective tariff
That, however was only part of the busi-
ness. After the bridge and the railroad tba
locomotives and cars had to be provided and
these, too, were wanted at the earliest possihla
moment. How they were obtained was told
