HANCOCK’S DILEMA. Upon tho heels of tha statement that Gon, HLancock docs not read books comes his own atatement that he docs not read newspapers. ‘Tha story in regard to tho letter about Mr. Tilden ind the Presidency in .1670 being eajled to his attention by n New York Times reporter, Gen, Hancock said: “I> eninot read It, Icannot look at statements regurd- ing me published In tho’ newspapers.’ + + « “Ishall not make any reply to any statement whatover, I believe I did hear about this story from a friend, but I have not read it,and do not enre to make any ex- pisnations about {t. “1 will leave that to others.” ‘Candidly, nows General, do you think the gnine of the ostrich cnn be played’ successfully by o Presidentint candidate? ‘¥ou stand before the American people, fitty million strong, asking them to make you the Executive head of one of the greatest, proud- est, strongest Governments of the earth, Aud you impatiently wave away the nian who asks n_ elvil’ question touching your record as a public servant! ‘Phat letter to Gen. Sherman, ‘written and sunt at the time of a sup- posed grave erlsis in tho Ifo of the Nation, is &partof your record. No mutter if it was Intended to be strictly confidenttal, It must now be subjected to the scrutiny and: judg- montof the public, Your present attitude towards the country forbids that you should eovér with the mantle of secrecy any net of your Ife. And especially does it forbid the hiding away of evidence of nn act showing n purpose which, in a certain omorgeney, inight have had a portentous effect upon tha ‘destinies of the Amerlenn people. The man who secks the first place fn the world, and secks it nt the hands of millions of Intelll- gent freeinen, cannot ‘afford to screen him- self from observation and criticism benenth tha folds of a confidential-letter! The man who indulges this high ambition, and refuses to explain, courts and deserves defeat. The letter .of 1876 to Gen, Sherman plnces Gen. Tiancock in a dilema, If it is) withheld from the public the presumption will be fr- realstibie that {t contains matter which the Public would condemn, and hence it will prove fatal to the aspirations of Its anthor, If ft {s given ‘to the puiblic, and, upon examination, js found to con- tan mutter’ showing q purpose on the part of its author, a subordinate oficer in the army, to assume any position whutever touching the Presidential ‘succession beyond implicit obedience to the coninands of his superiors, it wilt prove utterly fatal to Gen, Mlancock’s aspirations. Tho bare fact that Gen, Haneock addressed Gen. Sherman on the subject of the Presidential dispute in 187677 raises a strong presumption against the writer's loyaity asa citizen and his honor ag a soldier, it may bo admitted, for the purpose of this arguinent, that, had Gen. Hancock been, tho first‘oMcer of the army, he might have been called upon at midnight of the Sd of Merch, 1877, In the assumed emergency of two applicants for the Presi- dential office presenting themselves and is- sulng orders, to deeide whom he wouldserve, But this emergency could not arise sv far as Gen. Hancock was concerned, becnuso ho, was not Guneral of the armies of the United “States, At lenst it could onlyarisoon the assumption by Gen- Hancock that, in the event of the taking of the onth of offico by ‘Tilden, that -he (‘Tilden would disregard tho rank and offics of Gen, Sherman, and rely directly upon Gen, Tan cock to wiett tho army In his .(‘Tilden’s) fue terest. This course would imply 2 confor- ence between Tilden ‘and Gen. Hancock nt Gramercy Park, and an’ agreement on the part of Tilden to {ssue orders to, and rely upon, Gen. Hancock to seat fim with the aid of tho army, and a corresponding agreement on the part of the Jatter to obey such orders and wield such power in contempt or de- jlance of Gen, Sherman, Upon thls theory, and upon this'theory alone, enn the fact of a Jetter from Gen, Hancock to Gen. Sherman on the subject of tho Presidentini dispute of 1876-'7 bo logically necountad for, What had Gen, Hancock amore than Col. Smith or Maj. Jones to do with the determination of a constitutional question and 8 question of fact ag to the Incumbency of the Presidential oftiea? Clearly nothing, untess upon the seeret Information from Tilden that ho’ (IIan- cock) nad been selected to bear the sword of f proposed royolution.’ ‘That a revolution of vast’ proportions “would have lmme- Mately resulted. from disregarding the rank of the head of tho army: and the issuance of orders to a subor- dinate, there cau bo'no doubt Tilden doubticss so concluded, and hencg abandoned the scheme, ‘There fs now nothing loft of it but the letter. of Gon, Mancovk., ‘Tho pre- sumption fs that that letter Is very damaging to the character of its author. ‘There was no occasion for Gen, Hancock to write an fnnu- cent letter to his superior ofteer on the sub- Ject of an emergency with which he could not properly huve any connection whatever beyond carrying out tho orders of that supe rior offteer, In tho very nature of the case, it {a next to finpossibly that tho letter should be Innocent, - As tho matter stands, it Is fatal to the Democratic nominee for the Presidency, So long aa it ls withheld, a strong presump- tlon of guilt rests upon its author, That presumption: can only be overthrown by the publication of tho letter, aud its publication is likely to provedamning, —. : eer eereerereeoniete Ws take lt that yery fow of our readors falled to peruse tho communication of the Inte gditor of the Okolona States,wlilch ap- peared In Tue Curcago Tamune of yeaters doy, In that communication ye givea freo utterance to the real undercurrent seuti- , ments of the “Solld South,” and.they are dis- loyal to the very core. He exposes the pro- gran pf the Southern Democracy in one sentence; “Just ag surcly as Hancock be- comes President, just thatsurely will we undo '| the carller discussions that the “Lecompton alt that your (Republican) party has done sluce the day it went Into power.” He elenre ly states tho reason why the South nominated Tfaicock : “Ho was nominated beeause wo may need n military man at the head of our party In 1889, justns we.needed military man at tho head of our party in 1870." Tha difference between the Okolong States nn tho Solld ‘South ts, that tho former sponks right out what tho Intter thinks but dares not express until {t ‘comes Into power. As the States man himself snys : ‘Timo and again have prominont, offica-seokers approached me, oMdo-seckers Who aasutned n conservative tono In .thoir; public talks, snd said: - . “ Wo agree with Four, sentiments ton dat: wo approve of overy dodtrine that you ant forth tn tho Okolonn States, nut YOU Ane presaTunr, Wait—wait until we have the President as woll as. tho Congress, and then we will all slug tie same gona tn chorus.” by in s Tut he ts 0 poor atlok who ts afrald orashamed of hia principles,-n mighty poor atlok, and if 1, eaunat win qpoint without lying or playing tho sucnkup, f prefer to loso It, How do Union men like tho prospect set before thom,—the program that is to be car- -tled out when the Solid South elects Han- cock? p ——___ i ENGLISH'S RECORD, Tho Democratic ticket was nominnted at tho dictation of tho Solld Sonth, which held the preponderating Influence In the Cincin- nati Convention to tho same extent that It has dominated the Democratic Congress. Gen. Hancock was selected beenause he had demonstfnted, during his brief’ career ns Ame itary Governor of Loulslana and Texns, 0 willingness to submit to the dictation of the ex-Confederntes, Luglish was’ given tho second place In the face of ‘acknowledged unpopularity In his own State, becnuse, ng nn ante-war Democratic politician, ha had been one of the most conspicuous of the Northern doughfaces and trucklers in Congress, Gon. Hancock has no elyil record whereby the people ean determ{ne what his politiea! prin- elples‘are, or what course he fs IIkely to pur- “sue on-any political or econonite question ‘that may arise; but English’s record ts na obnoxious to all .Unioneloving and ,antl- slavery inen as that of any Democrat living. Tho onlysdistinction Willlam It, English ever cnrnet In public Ife was.in connection avith a Congressional measure: known in history a3 “the infamous English bill.” It wasn product of the Kansas struggle over slavery. -Tho Lecompton Pro-Slavery Con- atltution had been forced upon the people of Kausns by methods of fraud and violence whieh ‘have since become known as “ bull- dozing.” English had been elected to Con- -gress from Indiana as n '“ popular-sover- elgnty”? Demoerat, and deciared in one of Constitution did not embody the-witl of the people of Kansng, and that they did not wish it {mposed and fastened on them og thelr or- RinicJaw.’ He atso declared that he could not consclentlously vote for it, Upon the basis of (ose declarations he was appointed amember-of the Committeo of Conference to represent the antl-Lecompton men in the Tlouse, . In ths capacity he reported 9 bill, holding outa tand-bribo and the promise of immediate admission If the people of Kansas would accept a Pro-Slavery Constitution, and lenving Congress uncommitted in easo his Proposition were rejected. John A, Bing- ham, of Ohlo,, sald: “Glozo that bill-over with what words you may,—It Is a written erlme, and the same gentleman charactor- ited it as an “act to take away the liberty of American citizens.” Douglas voted against the Dill In the-Sennte. It was n betrayal of the Douglas Domocrats.. Henry Wilson, in his “Riso and Fall of the Slave Power in America,” says the .report “excited surprise and {ndignatloh,” and, in chron- {eling the ultimate failure of the: prop- ositlon- when it was submitted to the people of Kansas, declares,that “they had. suffured. tao much, and were too deeply in earnest, to be ‘seduced by tho: offer of the promised bonefits of tho bill—its Mbern) grants of Annd, and Its admission ng a State—or driven: by the menace of being kept out, to accept a Constitution which they lad no agency in forming, aud which thoy so thorouglily de- tested.” From this tlm on, English, in flagrant bo- trayal of: his constituents, continued to truckle to the Pro-Slavery ant Secession elo- muntin the South. In ‘the closing days of 1860 he Introduced the following bill into Congress; Resolved, That, for the purpose of dotng justice and securing pence and prosperity, a committco of thirty-threo be instructed to inquire into the expedicney of providing: for the settlement pf tho present unfortunate und daugeraus ede. tonal controvorsy upon tha followtng basis: "irt—Tho Torritorics of the United states to. ‘be equally divided between the slaveholding and nog-eluyeholding scetiong, alivery to be prohib- ited In that portion set apart for the mon-siave- holding, and ta be recognized In that portion act apart for tho sluvcholuing seqtlon; the statutes of cuch on the subject of slavery to romain un- changed during thetrferritorin) condition, but when the poptlution in any portion of tho terrl- tory aot upurt to elther section shall equal or exceed the ratio required fur a itepresentative Jn Congress, und the people shail hayo formed pid rytifiod n Constitution and ugkod ndmission Into the Unton asa State, sucn State shall bo admitted with or without slavery, as such Con- stitution may prescribe. * Second—Tho rights of proporty in slaves in the slaveholding States, and in that portion of the ‘Territories set wpart for tho slavebolding seo- tion, aball not be destroyed or iibpalred by leg- fatation tn Con ress, in the Territories, or fn tho non-slaveholding States, and whenever n fugl- tive slave shill be resened from ns inagter or from tho pyoper United States ailicers by reuson of mod vinicnce or State logisiation, In conilict with the Constitution or Inws of the United Btates, or whenever n slave shall in Iie manner ed from hid master while in trausitu through any uon-sluvoholdlng Stato, the olty, county, or township in which such rescue Is Tondo shall bo Hublé to the muster in double the vatuo of tho aluye, recoverable in the Umtad States Courts. To properly appreciate this proffer of new concessions to the slnveholuing power, by adivision of the Territories regardless of the “popular-soverelgnty” doctrines which English had profeased, it must be remem. bered™ that, nt this timo, secession had been decided upon by the Southerit leaders; it was only a few days later that the ordinance of secession wus adopted by South Caroling, During the entire pertod of doubt ns to the course to bo pursued toward the seceding States, English voted steadily with the Rebels as long as they retalned their places Jn Congress and until the very lust ono of them had withdrawn to gointo the Confede- rate Congress or tho Confederate army, Ha voted agalnst the arming of nullltin in tho District of Columbiny against a bill authorizing the President to necept the services of voluntcers; In favor of a resolu- ton condemuing Gen, Scott for concentrating rogula-army troops nt Washington; in favor of amending the Constitution so as ta forbid Copgress forever froth Interfering with slay- ory, aud forever debarring the négro from the right to voto and hold ofiice, . Ho acted uni- formly with the extreme pro-alavery imen, uni tho disuntontsts In Congress, If the Demourits were wise in sclecting a enndidate for the Presidency who has no elyll record, they should have been equally wiso in filling out the ticket with tho same sort of matorlal. ‘Lhe record of William H. Engilsh supplements Hancock's career at Now Orleans in such manner as to reveal the hand of the South in the naming of the Dem- ovratio Ucket, Genstany has enjoyed the luxury of o “ protective” tari? about one year, and its effect upon the industry, and especially upon thé agricultural population, fs bogluulug to provoke considerable disgust. Had it not been for the activity given to the fron trade by the shortllved American craze on jron last winter, protection would have probably become generally odlous to all trades, as ity eifect has been to increuse the cost of lying Boats Pes oe Pe and to raise prices of manutactures, and thorehy to stop exports by renderiug German roads too dear for forelgn markets, It op Uresses constmers att = Injures pros ducers, Trotection waa pushed upon Germany by Bismarck under’ the most Invish ‘-predictlons of ravived Induatry, high wages, fnoreased production, general employtient, and wenlth to every: boy, Iron and Iron manufactures wore firat protected by henvy duties. Of course tho prices of domestio fron were advanced largely. ‘The manufacturers fixed nrcale of prices undér which they would fot soll,—no, nevery But with tho advance fn prices con- sumption decllned, and oxportatton fell off, and things wero generally depressed until thoAmericnn boom” came to thelr rellef, ng It did to thoso of England and France. The collapse of thoAmer|ean demand has put an end to the German oxvortof fron, and now thn manufacturors have the exelustve home market, where the demand {3 lesa than tho supply. The farmers demanded niso a share in the protection, so o duty was nlso lntd on breadstuffs. The Gorman manufact- turer fs taxed on all the raw materials he has to buy, and thé prico of bread {8 also it creased, Tho necessity of importing flax and wool because of the Insufflclonoy of tha na- tive production hos already induced -the Reichstag to abolish thie dutics on these arti- eles and to admit thom free. ‘Chis, of course, ling raised a protest from the domestic grow- ers of flax and wool, who justly inslst on be- ing “ protested ” ns well as tho’ producers of ‘grain, ‘Even tho farmors are discovering that protection is of little use to thom. It {9 ex- pected that this year Germany will havo to import largely of food not only for men, but also for cattle, ‘Tho sinnll farmers will not produco enough for thelr own wants, and will have to buy - for- elgn food to ‘feed thelr.cattle, in which ense they will experfencg ‘tha oppression of “protection.” ‘The larger farmers who pro- duce grain to sell will hardly reap any ad- vantage from protection. ‘The abundance of the American supply will prevent them from demanding famine prices, aud the increased price authorized by the tarlif will not cover thelr loss by the deflelency in thecrop, In tie meantiine thoy will have to pay heavily of tholr carnings to “protect? the manufact- uring elnss. Everything thoy linve to buy will cost them much more, because of tho tariff which was to make everybody rich, ‘The experlence of Germany.is even sharper and more disastrous than ‘that of the Cana- diang, who foolishly adopted protection two years ago. A NEW VIEW OF TURKEY, As the refractory Turk onco more prom- ises to make himself conspicuous in the poll- tics of Enstern Europe, possibly to the ex- tent even of provoking another war and of dragging as many of the European States into it as possible, anything that throws light upon tho real status of ‘Turkish power will be valuable. In this connoction ‘a letter’ from an Ottonian statesman to the Journal dea Debats of Paris, 2 translation of which nppears In the New York Tribune, Is one of the most remarkable contribytions to the discussions of the Eastern question that have yet appenred, in that it places: the ‘Turkish Government inan entirely new reintlon to the European Powers, te ‘The position assumed by the writer of the letter in brief is that Turkey Is not n State at nll in the European sense, but a military theocracy, bound togathor by the faith of Islain, and that, a3 tho reforms demanded of ‘Turkey are tn.dircot conflict with that faith, they cannot bo Instlluted without destroying {t, Honco ‘Turkey will never consent that thoy shall bocarried out. ‘This is the gen- eral proposition, tho details of which aro of reuurkabla interest, European ‘diplomacy, this writer contends, has always failed in its dealings with Turkey beeauso It treats her as apolitical State, when for Orlentals there is no such thing asa ‘furkish nation and thore never has existed such na thing as an Otto man Porta, clothed with the powers or func- tlons thant pertain to European States, “his great Oriental. -State,” says . tho . writer, “which European diplonincy has disfigured under the nnmes of Turk and Turkey, which Europe wishes to save from destruction, is the great orthodox church of the Islam,” and Europe has constantly mistaken a military papacy for a seoular State, In exmmining into tho nature of that papacy, he snys: ‘The Caliphate being a .delegation of Divine ower, and having for ita miasion the conquer lug ind governing, If it Is possiblo, nf the wholo world, It is easy to porcotye that such 1 thooc: raoy is in now/se anulasyrous ton Christian Stato, nor yet to nny haman Governinent whuteoover, All othor Statos buve ae 2 basis vu nationniity and. a nattonal domain, but here thoro1s no nathinal- ity, no country. ‘The Caliphate of Tatam pelanga to no territory, to ne race, to no family, At Dn dad, ag in Beypt, wndor tho descendants af Al bas ag well a8 under tho family of" Osinnn, it 16 ulways and everywhere tho Missulinun Church; it ig tho true and only Governmont in existence.

LOUIS. | ‘Thero is one featura In tha preténtlous rivalry that St. Louls has sot np agatnat.Chi- ehgo during the pnst fos years which hns been finally disposed of~viz.: the rolative population of tho two citles. ‘the Goyern- ment enttmeratlon willshow Chicago to have 4 Population of mord than 603,000, and Cook | County f population of nearly 600,000. It shows furthermore that {f as much conthgus ous suburbs wore inclitded in Chicago a3 are In St. Louls our: population would excoed 540,000, Tho same enumeration will show that St, Louts, after a recount nnd tha accept> ance of the new names collected by the let- ter-carricrs wnaer the terrorism of the citl- zens, has a population of less than 350,000, Including both elty and-county, Wo havo the authority of the St. Louls Post-Dispatch for thisstatement, IInd tho original enu- meration of St. Loufs been allowed to stand, as that of Chicago has-been, the population would have beun reported nt 825,000, - In any ense, however, the difforerice in population {s ‘so enormous that thers {3 no ‘long- er any oxousc for misrepresentatlon, nor any opportunity for n pretense of rivalry, Itis idle for the St. Louls nowspn- persand people to intimate that there lins been an over-count In Chicago and an under- count in St, Louls. Thé enumeration In both ities has becii- under the samo system, by the same kind .of ninchinory, at the same time, and under conditions which promiso the sno average of correctness, It is proly able that the. Government census fills short In all cases, owing in part to tho dispateh with which itistaken; but St. Louis has enjoyed the advantage of a revision by a different ect of enumerators, under tho special protection and encouragement of th. St. Louls people, and there ls no longer any senso In urging, discrimination ngainst St. Louis, because nobody will bellove it. ‘Tho slinple fact is, that Clhicagy has nt least 150,000 more people than St. Loufs contains, and, counting in its immediate suburba, has fully 160,000 more people, ‘The population of Chi- cago has exceeded that of St. Louls in about the same proportion at all times during the past seven or cight years, but the St. Louis people have insisted upon decetving them- selves In the vain-hope of deceiving othars, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch advances the only theory which can afford the St. Louls people any consolation for their present hu- imiliation, It Insists thatthe census of St. Louls was “iloctored” ten years ngo; that from 60,000 to 70,000 names were added to the real population In order to swell tho total of 1870,.and that directory-makers.and: local enumerators have maintained ‘the fraud in order to gratify local pride. It would bo cruel to deny the St. Louls people such coin- fortas they may extract from this theory, Woe shall only hope that the present enu- meration has not been “doctored,”and that St Louls will be able, ten years hence, to main- tain its rank in growth and development with cities ike Boston, Daitimore, and CIn-- ‘elnnati, It will bo inexcusable folly, how- ever, to insist upon oa race with Chi engo. Tho present census ‘will show Ohicago to bo the fourth city in sizo in the United States; tho next census will show It tobe the third, and tho’ census of 1900 will show !t to possess considerably moro than a million of people and verging closely upon the population of Philadelphia, it it dacs not surpass her. Beyond that, it 1s, not safe to predict, as New York will annex Brooklyn aud other suburbs, and will long be the lead- Ing elty of the Republic; yet In Atty years from now Chicago may exceed New York. Nearly all the largest cities of the world are Inland,—London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Pekin,—and Chicago may be added to this list half a century or less hence, It may be freely admitted that Chicago's growth has beon more rapid than the most sanguine have expected, but her people are not greatly astonished at thisresult. It has been the hablé of Chicago. to outrun nil cx- pectations in trade and enterprise, and it would , bo atrange it {t did riot follow the saino rule in point of population. The most ‘active individual’ mind cannot keep pace with the development of Chicnzo, ‘The processes of this development will bo ra- vealod to a largo extent when the cousus sta tistics of the manufacturing interests In this elty slinll be made public. But St. Louis people, thongh they marvel, should no longer doubt. They should join the rest of the world In admiration and pridd in Chicago's progress, Their mistake has been In putting forward'a rivalry whiely had no substantial basis, altho St. Lonts will probably con- thiue to bo the second Inrgest city of the West, and with that she should be content.
