The invasion of Wau-el-.VJiiHit witn bt handful of dervisbe is shvwu by these documents to have been merely an incident of this conspiracy, which wa toihave been followed by wholesale treason ou tbe part of the Egyptian army. These disclosures serve to explain what ha up to this time puzxled every body here, how the leader of the dervishes expected to accomplish nuy thing with ; tusigntneant iorce ue iriiHKL " nu him across the desert. It is now clear that he expected to be joineu at the Nile by deserters from the Egyptian army itself headed by the traitor with whom he had been iu correspondence, and by aome of the tribes upon whose friendship Egypt had counted. Just why the traitors at the last moment abandoned the brave dervish leader to his fate, and how it came that their treachery waa not consummated is uot yet clear. It is quite likely, however, that their plans were to throw off their masks aad joia Wad-el-N'Juai'.'s lavaders after they had crossed the Nile, and that Colonel Wodehouse's determination to prevent their reaching the river at ait hazards ami Mis uuexpecieu secee carrying out this purpose threw the conspirators iato confusion aud disorgan ized their caceiuiiy law piaas.

In one respect the Henublican organ and orators were right- John Bull wanted our markets and was nretmrad to bid high for - them. But it was hanllv to be ex pected by "the,-most rabid protectionist that withia four iwor.-ths after the party warned the country against tbe xchemes of John Bull, assumed the reins of government British capital should have such a foothold here and British manufacturers- should be cnjoviai; the benefit of eur war tariff.

It to be agreed that faamers are poor, and all the oommuniaations publishes! that are, written by leading farmers all over the States and Territories unite iuithis admiseimi. The reason for the prevailing poverty among half the population is not so much a cause of dispute as migfct be expected. Burdens that fall uoequally aad that lie like an incubus upon the agricultural ititerctte are recognized by all as tha chief eau-o of this distress among the farmers Increasing taxes, chief among whieh is that which corned like a thief in the night under cover of a false theory and pretense, but whkh cut into the farmers pocket at every turn and mulcts him ruinou4y every time he makes a pur chase of aay tiusag needful in household: hswineee. The onerous tariff nreeee upon the farmer like tho ex actions levied upon agriculture ia such misgoverned countries as Tur key, Egypt and India, and which take every thing from the cultivator of the oil. except a bare living, which 1 left ho him that he mav continue to lire and work and be taxed. One example of how the farmer Is mxed may be given as it come to the knowledge of the writer. A manufacturer of woolen goods in Scotland advertised in an English farmers journal that he would sell his cloths at retail to farmer or exchange them for wool. The writer wrote for "ample and price of the goods. They were of excellent auality; Scotch tweeds, cheviot; and such cloth make the best clothing for farmers. and were of pure wool and free from .

The estimated net profit of the refiners' tariff ring last year was $!!.- OW.OUO. Tliis year the roblwry will be much heavier. The trust claims that the advance k duo to a decreased supply of raw xugar to- natural laws of supply and demand. It is not worth while to argue on that point while a tax of three-fourth ol , tlio value of all bugar usesl in tbe American market is pakl by the conftimer. Ssjch a taxso interfere with tbe laws of supply and demand that while it exists it is absurd to talk of high price being due to natural cause. If with all sugar, refined and raw. on the free lift, the HeSners' Trust can then control the market, it will be fair trade and no robbery. A a matter of fact no trunt can long control aa open market on any staple article. Abolish the ugar tax and the rtwincr.' ring will be abolished with iu The KejiubUe is heartily in favor of the aliolitioa of both tbe tax and the trust created by the tax. Tne Republican party is urged by certain Republican papers to pursue this course ard Republican shakers hare fresfuenUy attacked the tax as a tribute paid to IiiialaHa. This i untrae, a the Louisiana industry is already virtually ruined under the tax. but even if the Louisiana planter, were highly proserott. it would be grosely uifjust to the people to keep them The tariff question has a turned a sdtape where the fight, if made at all, muet ne masie for impartial justice. It is plainly mpo4sible to Mmle down the present tariff horizontally. The only method by which reform is possible is through abolishing or cutting the taic oa oae article at a time, and this it the time for sugar. !1 The Republican party has ooatrol ol both houses of Congress and the Presi dency. It wilt be obliged to .show its relations to the sugar trust which now has its lingers in every sugar bowl in the land." Without Government assistance and connivance, the trust could not practice this extortion. The tax should be abolished outright. Put all grade of sugar on th free list, and f the trust can survive by a fair trade in an open market, let U survive.
