Stanley Set cot from Artiwirti last runs for the Albert Nyanxa. When I got there, he meant to put his steel w ding boat together and to set out northw d by water for Wadelai. Now he has raed up in a province some hundreds o ’idles to the northward of that place, i stead of marching five hundred n most have marched something thousand. What has hap; medf When tho bearers of the last authentic news from Stanley 1« b the expedition IsSt August he Was s« mped within eight days* march of the I ’ bode country, and advancing directly t aids the western shore of the Albert f vnsru He was only about two hundred uiles from that lake nearly a year ag Ths lake was his goal, and now we :«r of him in the Ruhr El Ghazel. We ca only suppose that he found tho count r between the Upper Aruwimi and the dbert Nyanxa nothing bat a Vast mors *, and in•u, he a
aosotuteir impassnuic. uwi s inner Emin sent two parties of te men each to the Albert Nyan * to get news of Stanley. They hare found noue, or Emin would haTe g on it. It looks, therefore, as if Stanley hi been obliged to change his object alto ther, and had turned northwest from tl Mabode country, instead of followj g the line be had previously taken, and resaing on towards the East. Wha facta are known, therefore, point to tt gen* eral conclusion that, after pushin east* northeast from Yambunga for so »two or three hundred miles, Stanley ound further progress impossible alot that line, and set his face northwart In* stead of coming niton Emin fr a the south, he will come upon him fr a the north, but if he does in the long ro come upon him somehow, that will nc mat* ter.” Further Information from Ban aarereived late this afternoon tends con* firm the report that Stanley is re lly on hi* way to Khartoum. It also * tears that Emin Bey has left the nei i,borhood of tbe-Albert Nyanza and is i two* ing to meet Stanley. The probat ity of the success of Stanley in relievlnt -Char* toum is regarded with downright j< lousy in military circles. Lord Charles <eres* ford, who took part in the disastrc s Nile expedition, admits the possibility If. the white pasha being Stanley, and ir "ivlng his reasons why an undisciplined body, chiefly composed of natives, sb lid be able to aocompHsh a feat which roved too much for the Nile expeditio said: "It must be borne in mind that sir .» that expedition great changes have coi i over the state of Africa, Then the wh< > surrounding country was frantically voted to the Mahdi Now, if we are to ilieve the reports which have recently : wtad Cairo from the European captives and from informatio dorived from other sources great dissatisfaction against the false prophet prevails, and at the first a; roach of a hostile force his followers art aid to be prepared to go over to toe ene f. In my opinion, if the white pasha i really Stanley he has undoubtedly so otline since captured Khartoum, and tflcial news from him can not much it -er be delayed.

If! 1864 the platform was a war plattorii, and said erf the finances that the public faith must be kept inviolate, and that; for this purpose “ We recommend economy and rigid responsibility In the public expenditures, and a vigorous and just system of taxation.” In 1868 the platform declared that “ it is due id thd labdr Of the Nation that taxation should be equalized add reduced as rapidly as the National faith Will permit,” and also “the Government Of the United States should bo administered 4711th the strictest economy. From 18&6 to 1872 the Republican platforms were silent upon what is now declared to be the supreme policy of the Party. Iff 1872 the platform said: “ The nnnnnl revenue, sitey paying current expenditures, pensions mad the Interest on the public deWi should furnish n moderate balance for the reduction of the priaeipel, end that revenue, esoept so much ae may bo derived from S titbipUn tobacco aad liquors, should bo rsnsd by dtttte* upon importations, the details of trhleh should be so adjusted as to aid in scour ng remunerative wages to labor, sad proHole the industries, prosperity and growth of the whole country.” Hut whatever the declarations of the platforms, the great Republican doctrine was by HO means that of extreme protection. Garfield said: “ 1 am for a protection which leads to ultimate free trade. I am not for free trade wlich can only be achieved through a reasonable protection.” Again Garfield said:
•' The sign* are unmistakable that a strong relation Is setting u against the prevailing [tariff 1 rates, and he Is not,a wise legislator who shots his eyes to the facts of the situation. * » • He Is not a faithful representative who burelg votes for the highest rate proposed in or ler 1o show on the record that he voted for thn highest figure, and therefore is a sound protectionist. He la the wisest man who sees tho tides and currents of public opinion, and usss his best efforts to protect the Industry ot tho people against sudden collapses and sudden changes. Now If Ido not misunderstand the slims of the times, unless we do this ourselves, prudently and wisely, we shall before long be compelled to submit to a violent reduction, m tde rudely and without discrimination, which will shock, if not shatter, all our protected indutrlM." In his message of 1884 President Arthur said: • " (n my annual message ot 18R* 1 recommend the abdiUon of ell excise taxec except those relating to distilled spirits. This reemnemendation is now renewed. Ia case these taxes shall be abolished, the revenue tbat will it main to the Government will. In my opinion, not only suffice to meet its reasonable expoaditurea, but win afford a surplus large enough to permit such tariff reduction as may seem to be advisable when the results of recent rttvenue lawa and commercial treaties shall hive shown In what quarters these reductions out 1m most Judiciously effected.’’ President Arthur had three Secretaries of the Treasury—Mr. Folger, Mr. Gresham and Mr. McCulloch. They tsere all strict Republicans and revenue reformers. In his annual rejor* for 1883, Mr. Folger said: “The exiting duties upon raw materials l’hlch are to be used In manufacture should be removed. This can be done la the Internet of tar foreign trade." The modifications of the tariff reo(immended by the Tariff Commission of 1883 President Arthur thought to be inadequate, and in calling attention to the fact that “our system of tax and lariff legislation is yielding a revenue which is in excess of the present needs of the Government,” he stated two i-easons in favor of lightening the tax: » "That the revenue may be reduced so as no loaner to tax the people; that protective ilntlee may be retained without becoming bur

THURMAN’S HONESTY. How the Old Roman defeated Jay Goasld and the Bold Lobby. One of the chief tela of Judge Tfoiurmitn’s Senatorial career was the securingef the passage of the Pacific Bailroad Sinking Fund act. It will be remembered that the efforts of Gould wad Huntington were concentrated upon the Senate. Stanley Matthews had charge of the bilL Gould and Huntington were in Washington in person. Gould had choeen to dismiss for a time
2UB parliamentary agents, »uu himself undertaken the task of calling personally on Senators and endea voring to convince them by the ingen ious and plausible arguments of wtaioh he is master to support the amendments which would practically nullify the Thurman bill. The agents of Gould and Huntington sat in the marble room of the Smate, to which, under the rules of that body, they could hare access only by the introduction of some Senators. They were confident of forty votes to defeat, the bill. Senator Tbaraan expected, to pass, the lull by midnight There were indications of an attempt at filibustering by its opponents and many amendments had been offered. Mr. Thurman was seen to hare upon his desk a roll-call of the Senate. He rose and said that he understood that the opponents of bis bill were oonfideat of victory; that he had, in fact, then upon Ids desk a roll-call of the Senate with .the names checked upon it of the Senators who, he was well advised, were relied upon by the agents of Gould tnd Huntington to vote nay. There was intense interest in the chamber. Mr. Thurman did not read that rolltall or toll where be got ft. He simply t&id that as toe voting on toe amendments proceeded he should watch it with great interest to see how veU it tallied with the list with which he had lieen furnished. Thera certainly was cons ter nation in (he ranks of the lobby. The voting began. The forty promised voter upon that tally sheet dwindled to eighteen. The Mill was passed.

XildtSn, before Ms Wmtirtfitkm fqr th« Presidency. believed that the country bed become Democratic, sod fixed 1872 ns the date <Sf the change. The results to 187® nod since* show the accuracy of Ms ealcular ttons fourteen States have given Stair electoral votes to the Democratio candidates to the elections of 1876, 1880 and 1884. and 17 have been Democratic' id both 1880 and 1881, while in 1384 the number of Democratic States had increased to 20. The Democratic gain to States with resulting Republican loss has been Steady since 1876. In that year 21 States were counted for Hayes as against 17 for Tilden; in 1880 it was a tie between Hancock and Garfield, 19 States voting for each; in 1884Blaine had only f8 States against 20 for Cleveland. The States that nave voted the Republican National ticket *• without a break" since 1860, are Illinois, Iowa, (Kansas since 18811, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, (Nebraska slaoe 1868. and Nevada since 1864), New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennfyivonia, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin—12 without Kansas, Nehraska and Nevada, which have been Republican in all National elections since their admission as States. California has been Republican since 1860, except in 1880; and Oregon exosf^-in I860. The States which either were or became Democratic in 1876, and have remained so, are Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware. (Florida counted for Hayes), Georgia, Kentucky. (Louisiana counted for Hayes), Maryland. Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey. North Carolina, (South Carolina counted for Hayes), Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia—14, without Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina. New Jersey Has been Democratic since 1860, except in 1872. New York voted for the Democratic ticket in 1868, 1876 and 1884. Connecticut and Indiana were Democratic in 1876 and 1884; and Nevada and California in 1880. The following chart exhibits tho progress sive changes by States since 1872 r J

Even in the strong Republican State* that have not voted for the National Democratic ticket in twenty-eight years, the % Republican percentages of the total vote base decreased until in several cases these States are Republican only by a minority vote.

MORTON'S BARREL. t j Why Ik* Mew T*rk Banker Wu . nat*4 ky Oka Republican*. V. Senator Ingalls, in proffering his adh rice to the delegatee attending the Chi-\ cago convention, laid it dtftrn as impe rati re that the Vice-Presidential candidate should be “some fellow like Phelps, of New Jersey, who could reach the conservative forces of the East and get contributions from the manufacturers and Wall street.” And i thereupon the convention nominated Levi P. Morton. The other day Mr. Estae, on behalf of the Republican Committee, notified Mr. Morton that he had been selected by. the convention as its candidate be-I cause of his '‘eminent fitness,” and! there is no doubt that he fully come^ up to the Ingalls standard. He has* "bar’l" of his own, and, instead of saying: “ Go on,” he can say: “ Coma on* boys,” which was the old farmer’s rule for getting work out of his men. The soldier who can lead is a better officer than him who orders his men forward but lags behind himself. So that a blind man can see Mr. Morton’s "eminent fitness" for his position. It is the first time in the history of parties that wealth has been considered the prime qualification for this great offleq. If statesmen have not always been chosen, the candidates have generally been men of high ability.
