WEDNESDAY, - - - MAR. 14, 1894
The Indians who nave been tried as
soldiers have been found wanting. What
they want mostly is rations.
If Great ' Britain is dallying with
Nicaragua the United States has a right
to interfere. There is a doctrine that
disapproves of such international flirta
tions.
A Colorado man 6ued another for the
alienation of his wife's affections. ' The
jury returned a verdict for $100,000.
Successive trials have brought the sum
down to $25,000, and another trial is -in
progress. It io believed that bv . the
time the delicate matter has been adju
dicated for good the husband will find
ahimself ssessed for having permitted (he
affections in question to get away from
him. .
A citizen oi Victoria, described as
author, soldier, diplomat, athlete and
gentleman, recently slapped the face of a
consul there. . For this divertisment he
paid a fine of $2, which divided amongst
author, soldier, diplomat,' athlete and
gentleman, made the reasonable sum of
40 cents each. The consul naturally
was overawed. No one individual can be
.expected to calmly fce a mob.
The moBt conspicuous result of the
panic and the long financial depression
is the passing of so many great railroad
properties into the hands of receivers.
In other words, a larger proportion of
railroads failed than of anv other kind
of business. This is a very striking
fact,' not only of commercial importance,
but of importance in many other ways
as well. ' Mr. Simon Sterne, the distin
guished railroad lawyer of New York,
I who is among our clearest writers upon
.great' economic subjects, publishes in
the March Forum an article of unusual
' breadth and interest, analyzing the--causes
and the consequences of these ex-
teniive failures. He shows that they
J . 2 a i 1 1 n
- ro u u ju great measure tu uuu miau--cial
methods, sometimes to vicious
financial management ; but that in ad
dition to all other causes we have not
developed men of sufficient ability to
manage these great properties as fast aB
the properties have been built that re
quire such management. In other
words, our rapidity of consolidation and
construction has been much greater than
the development of men able to manage
the great properties that we have con
structed. It is the opinion of a good many
Chicago people that the ridiculous farce
of attributing the numerous fires at the
world's fair grounds to the efforts of un
known incendiaries might as well cease.
The buildings as they stand are of no
particular use to anybody, and, as they
must be removed from the park by a
. certain date and the expense of carting
them away would be very considerable,
fire is'as good a medium as any other to
bring about their removal from exist
ence. -There is something sad about
destruction in anv manner of those
superb white palaces, which in their
aggregate grouping made a picture of
splendor and beauty impossible to des
cribe in words; but if they are to be
destroyed, fire is the quickest way out of
the dilemma. ' It would, however, be
better for the people in power to
come out honestly in favor of burning
the - palaces down than to affront
the intelligence of thinking people by
mock expressions of grief when one or
mnrA ftf t.hn Vinilrlifiya avu itinin nw.
. through the alleged efforts of a visionarv
- incendiary.. The tramps that are said to
eieep in the buildings would hardly
pply the torch to their places of habita
tion. Be honest; Messieurs les Park
Commissioners; burn' down all .the
.buildings at once, and be done with it.
Deserving; Fraise
We desire to say to our citizens, that
lor years we have been selling Dr.
.King's New Discovery for Consumption,
'Dr. King's New Iafe Pills, Bucklen's
Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and
have never handled remedies that sell as
well, or that have given such universal
satisfaction. We do not hesitate to
guarantee them every time, as we stand
ready to refund the purchase price, if
satisfactory results do not follow their
use.. There remedies have won their
great popularity purely on their merits.

V
Country That Is Giving
many Much. Trouble.
Qer
i African Territory About Which. the
English Government Is Vitally Con- :
cernad The Dispute About -Its
Boundaries.
"Battle in the Cameroons," says a re'
cent cable. What and where are the
Cameroons? This from the New York
Herald -will elucidate a little:
The Cameroons is a territory on the
night of Jiiafra, West . Africa, one
nunarea ana ntty thousand square
miles in extent, and with an estimated
population of two millions. It has
coast line of one hundred and twenty
miles between the CampoTiver and the
Kiodel.Key, is bounded on the north
east by a treaty line running- north
east to the east of Yola, on the upper
ISenue, and on the- south by a line run
ning' inland, due . east from the mouth
of the Campo river, to about . the me-
idian of longitude fifteen degrees east,
vhich may be regarded, as the eastern
jr inland limit oi the so-caued pro
tectorate." . -
In 1892 there were one hundred and
sixty-six whites, of whom one hundred
and nine were German and thirty -one
English. It became a German pro
tectorate in 1884,' and is placed under
an imperial governor, ' assisted by a
chancellor, two secretaries and a local
council of three representative mer
chants. ' The country is fertile, and
numerous valuable African vegetable
productions grow in profusion. Plan
tations of cacao and tobacco have been
farmed by a company, and numerous
factories carry on an active trade in
ivory and palm oil. On January 1,
18SS, an import duty was imposed on
European goods, and from this the
revenue is mainly derived. The chief
town is Cameroons, and in the South
Batanja, Bimbia and Bakundu Town
are other important trading stations,
and Aqua Town and Bell Town are the
principal native settlements. The im
ports and exports are quite large.
In April last, Mr. Henry M. Stanley
wrote to the peace association a letter
in which he attributed . the increase of
trade in 1892 at African ports under
German administration to the growing
practice among . German merchants of
importing into Africa small, arms and
ammunition. These materials of war,
he said, were sold to the slave traders
and. do inestimable damage. Mr. Stan
ley inculpated also the Portuguese in
his charges. He appealed to the Euro
pean nations to suppress the traffic in
arms carried on by the Germans and
Portuguese. Unless this step be taken,
he added, all efforts to stop the slave
trade would be useless.
In February a German expedition.
which was under the command, of
Freiherr von Stetten, proceeded from
the Cameroons coast up the river San
naga to Balinga, whence it traveled to
the thickly populated district of Tikar
and reached Ngaudere and Yola.
Treaties were concluded with the na
tive tribes in the districts passed'
through. This reappearance on the
coast, the Kreuz Zeitung pointed out,
was peculiar in view 6f the statement
made by members of the expedition
that Lake Tchad was their goal. It is
a fact, though at present an inexplica
ble one, that German expeditions fail
to reach the more easterly portions of
the Hinterland of the Cameroons. . The
expedition returned in September. .
England and Germany had a long
dispute about the boundaries of the
Cameroons, which was settled in May
last. The third section of the agree
ment reads: "The German colonial
administration engages not to allow
any trade" settlements to exist or be
erected on the right bank of the Bio
del Bey Creek or waterway. In like
manner the administration of the Oil
rivers protectorate engages not to al-j
low any trade settlements to exist or
to be erected on the western bank of
the Bakassy peninsula from the first
creek below Arsibon's village, to the
sea and eastward from, this bank to
the Rio del Rey waterway."
. According to the German view the
new agreement is a purely fiscal one,
intended to enable the British and
German administrations to cope with
the widespread smuggling, which was
especially detrimental to the Camer- ,
oons. There had been no question ot
altering the frontier laid down by the
provisional agreement of 1890, which,
in consequence of disagreement be
tween the two governments, left the
Rio del Rey out of . count and settled
the frontier as a straight line running
from the upper end of the waterway
to the rapids of the Cross river. But
this indefinite "upper end" has now
been fixed- as above set forth. Much
satisfaction was expressed in Berlin at
the pledge given by the English gov
ernment not to allow trade settlements
on the Bakassy peninsula, which other
wise would have afforded an excellent
base for contraband operations.
A Dismantled Monitor.
The monitor Saug-us, that took part in
Admiral David Porter's bombardment
of Fort Fisher in December, 1864, now
lies dismantled at a Philadelphia wharf
awaiting a purchaser who needs a coal
barge. Her armor -has been stripped
off and the spinning turret removed.
The Saugus was one of .the. monitors
that, casting' anchor within range of
Fort Fisher, opened fire' upon it, and
in little more than an hour demolished
all but the bomb-proof portions of the r
lort. Jie attacking fleet consisted of
thirty-five regular cruisers, five iron
clads and a reserve of nineteen other
vessels. According to Gen.. Grant
it was "the most formidable armada
ever collected for concentration upon
one given point." The Saugus was
built during the latter part of the war.
In 1891 she was sold by the government
to a Philadelphia firm, which made the
purchase with the object of reselling'
to some South American state in need
of a second-hand warship. The nego
tiations failed, and the Saugus was then
dismantled. She had been built to last,
for it was necessary to use dynamite in
the work of unsheathing her hull. .
