'he spoilsmen chuckle, at ihe thought that Re ormer Curtis is working like a harnessed mule ri the service of tho office-grabbers. But the Democratic campaign is an organiaed rand in other directions. It vociferates de? cstation of trusts, while spending a campaign und of millions drawn from tho Sugar Trust, rhich the Mills bill protects; from he Whiskey Trust, which the same till protects; and from tho Standard Ml Trust, which holds its place in he Cabinet. The President and his party pro 'ess to be inspired by an earnest zeal to re leve the people from such combinations, and it the same time both President and party ire serving as hirelings of tho very trusts which bey denounce. Hatred of railroad monopolies s preached by a Democratic National Commit :eo whoae chairman made his millions by the iharpeat games of Wall Street, while he and the President's cloaest pomonal representative tn !he committee are directors in the.

Of all the consolidated frauds which make up :he Democratic party of to-day. the most trans? parent is tho Prohibition annex, fed by funds ?tilleeted from the liquor saloons. The liquor interest contributes enormous sums to the Dem DCTatic managers. Tho Democratic managers take care now, as they did in IRS I, that the political Prohibitionists do not lack for funds. While these professed Prohibitionists labor to defeat tho only party whieh has ever favored effective tempoiance legislation, tho liquor sa? loons work nnoeaaingly for the only party which has et er made itself their tool. Can all these deliberate deceptions and frauds ho expected to yield good fruit, to the satis? faction of honest and upright citizens? Can tlie virtue and morality of the Nation be pro? moted, can the reign of right and justice be established, by chea,ing and by crime? These are questions which even- good citizen is bound to answer to his own conscience. Ho must de? cide whether he expects lo gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles. TEE FUTURE OF AFRICA. The fate of Stanley is now attracting the attention of Christendom The disappearance a year ago in tho mazes of the Darb Continent of aa expedition destined for the relief of the only European remaining in the valley of the White Nile is ;;*i episode of unrivalled interest in iho annals of exploration and advent ure. Tho unforeseen arrival in the Bahr-ei-Ghazel I of a mysterious White Pacha leading a legion of warrion from Niam-Niam is almost artling a surprise aa the return of Stanley to the outposts of civilization at the mouth of ihe Congo after traversing the Continent. Tho iti-'i. i*y *f ilis While Pacha is not yet ci nclusivi ly established, but tier pro! abilities all point t<? Stanley aa tlc lea :'-i if this native anny which has created con sternatie n at Khartoum. If what are now only reasonable conjectures are fully confirmed by later and authentic advicce, Stanley's achieve? ment will be one of the most picturesque In? cidents in the history of the Dark Continent But while his perilous march and Emin's gal? lant defence of the Equatorial Provinces rivol tlie attention of the world as events of sur? passing interest, the nations are rapidly * lishing a continuous cordon ef settlements around Africa, and are being drawn gradually Into an inevitable contest forsuprei lor. These rivalries ned extensions of eignty pass almost unnoticed, yei a ? withoul peculiar interest and significance. On the wi ? coast of Africa the line of for? eign settlements is practically unbroken fi -m 'i . ier i .1 the Cape of * lo* d Hope Spain, i ranci. England, Germany and Portugal have secured control of ihe seaboard, and the valleys of the Sci the Nige -, the Congo and the Orange haw: been opened lar into the' int In Central Africa the Congo 1 ??? tate with enorm iles to overcome arel a deadly climate to comba! is making laborious prog? ress.

The fairest portion ; of Africa are harassed and devastated by these barbarous ivory-huntam and cold-blooded trafflckera in human soul*. Germany and Eng? land by a united effort can do much to supines', this infamous warfare and butchery, and th ly to restore peace in Africa. Germany at Zanzibar aided hy England at Khartoun* can control the centres of thc slave trade on the COBBI Lakes Nyaasa and Tanganyika, if patrolled, one, by Germany and the other by England, cnn be delivered from the ravages of Arab marauders. The Portuguese, who have always connived at the c-lavo-trafCc at Ihe mouth of the Zambesi, can ho forced by the United action of these. Powers to co-operate in /he samo beneficent work. With the piavo marts on the coast closed and the v, a'er-ways in tho interior, the Congo and the N Tanganyika chain, protected against slavers' raids, tropical Africa would bo transformed, pacified and opened to civilization. TEE HUMAN EQUATIOS. Tho disastrous collision betvteon the Thing valla and tho Goi?er is a fresh illus'ration of the danger attending any plan, the guocessful working of which depends larg'ly or wholly upon that, most mutable and unstable of factors, tho human equation. The) owners of the Danish line would have made this catagtrophe impossible hy sailing their vessels on the lane system. Instead of adopting this prudent method, they adhered to the old arrangement under which, going and returning vessels fol? lowing the .s:i*nis rr,urs,- the dancrer of collision can emly bo avoided by constant vigilance and as constant presenco of mind on tho part of both officers and crew. Kxperionee proves that ? l-.is reliance is not trustworthy ; thal il is liable tn fail at the critical moment. In tho ease e,f steamers this liability is peculiarly great, be? ean.- o the swiftness of their movement leaves little limo for protective action, and none at all feir tho repairing of blunders. Given a sleepy officer anti watch, a thick night, and the sudden discovery that another steamer Is bear? ing down npon them i-the chances of momentary confusion, leading to a wrong older to the quartermaster) aro evidently very greai; ami the momentary confusion entails the fatal col? lision. Of eourso tho Heiser ar.d Thingvalla had no business tei bo so close together, but fol? lowing tho same emirse there was alwaTS the liability that they might meet, and herein lay thc error of tho management. It is aol worth while at this slape of the CSSC to discUSS the question which of the vessels weni wrong. Naturally onemgh, tim i>eople of the Thingvalla are disposed tn try to shift the responsibility on to tho Geiser. The officer who was in charge of the latter at the time is drowned, at-.'! p sibly a'l the watch who were em deck with him. It may therefore prove difficult to deteiminc th's pt,int, but regarding th** broader one, whieh involves the accountability of th** Thing? valla Company, the Issue li not doubtful. It is the duty cf every passenger steamet ror peiration to minimize the risks as much n* | - Bible. The first obligation in canying out this policy is to make it certain that at rill events thc vessels of the company shall not run into oi*" another. This security is obtained by making them follow one unite ie, going **> Eu? rope and another in returning. Ha*l the Thing? valla Company followed the first of these era! principles the Geiger and a hundred and twenty lives would have been sa. ed. It is ti ha. n o'i'd in connection with this collision that-*.* has demonstn i the value *>f tho transverse section clearly. The linking of tho Goisor was caused ly tim simultai Opening of several sections. Had the Thing? valla been drawn oul e,f the hole she had made instantly, it is probable that tiie: Gei er would have kept afloat long enough to save the pas -' i j ira and crew. The Thingvalla only had one section injured, anel the others held fast, ami took her to 11:1 ifnx under most trying con? ditions. Without the? sections i- is pe certain thar both steamers would have sunk in live minutes from the collision, and probably every iou] would have been lost. As to the stories about leaky boats and davit-tackle thal Jammed, such things always happen. B< ? '.tn the davits or inboard will get dry and open their seams, and there is no way to proven! i The tackle, however, oughl to be and can be kepi in good working order, though this is g precaution too commonly neglected *>n pas? senger steamers. New ropes will snell. ? ropes particularly, and Jam in thc sheaves. No captain, of course, oughl to permit this, but it i. i i be feared thal the majority do. Nothing can obviate the ill effects of panie ai i <ii-.is, anel panic icay r rider all pr#i i ?ainsl disaster futile. This is another reason \*.'n.-> i ? ns should do their ut most to avoid the contingencies In which panic is apt to appear. ra I -. V RRJCAN Ut SP. AS I).

The * lei man h i iband n )_ lot *? his wife vii'h bones! fei. * i. I ul she is, ? inferior, and, to some * al least, his servant. The Frenchman is gal? lant and p*lii<" ti his wife, as t.i all women, but there is still lacking something of that perfect equality, confidence and comradeship thal characterises so many American mar The Pugh lillian t'ldii'.-i Bearcat, per iiap*. to thc American standard in this respect, i in many others, but we mis* in him some ling of that fine deference which is so de ghtful to WOBMB. If BB! cue doubts tho B0> iiae-y of theag itatemeata, we ave perfectly illing to have the decision to a jury of twelvo itelligen! and impartial A merit IBB hu.hands. There is every reaSOfl why tho American ne ihonld pr* ellice geied husbands, p is tho est natured r:ico in the world. Its inslirnti ? generous and helpful. D*"ferenco to women , carried to an extreme?if thero be any such ling. The tone Of family life ls pure to ? ?maikal le degree, and whero there are ex iptiona ie* this rule a very largo proportion of iem will be fr,mid te be a result of the fn ..i,'- (,f fm- ign"rs and foreign manners. With ll that can be said gs to tho evils of our di orce laws, it is doubtful whether there is any ountry in which, as cur plucky eouatiywoaaBa mifltained, marriage has been more of a suc o<? than in tho 1'nited States. When tho )-?oa*.cel \\'irr."s Sister hill was iq) in ihe House f Commons some years ago, and the example f America in that matter was cited, Sir lichael I.ieks-I.oaeh ?ai<l that he hoped that he hould never iee In England 'he state of S'i i' 'y that existed in this country. This cotn ilaoeni Tory evidently believed from what ho gd read of our divorce laws that society in he railed Prates was in a condition of moral haoa. Yet we venture to say that there is a irger proportion of happy marriages in this han in any other civilized country, because ho whole spirit of our civilization is ono of quality, which is 1ho best basis for COntent nent la marriage. These farts have long been recognized. And iow we have a frank statement from an A merl? an wife, of one of the reasons why in this ountry thc husband and wife are more apt to rel along together better than in less favorer] >arts of the onivene. It is because the Ameri an wife knows how to manage her husband. '.nt, b|c_s her Imart, did she really think that ;he was making a startling disclosure? The vise American husband has known that all dong, and he has been glad to bo managed. Ie ha.s had unbounded corfidepcp in his wife's ;oe.d sense and tact, ami has been glad to wear us Invisible silken rhaiti that held him Heritor han links of steel. This was certainly not the least of his claims to the title of good husband -that he knew she was having her own way, ind Waa gla*l to let ber have it. FAITH AOAINST MOSOUITOEX.
