STASLEY's LETTERS from the shores OF
the Victoria Niyanza, published in the
New York Herald, prove him a hero, aud
indicate that the results of his expedition
are very likely to be the most valuable
geographical discoveries Of Central Africa,
the crown and contamination Of the long
search of the source of the Nile. No trav-
eer there has had so somber a record to
give as his. Starting from Zanzibar in the
fall of 1874, with over 800 followers, the
greater part of them Africans, he reached
the great lake on February q, 1875, having
lost l54 men from fever, dysentery, star
walton and battle, and the purpose Of the
whole expe dtion not yet entered upon.
The most thrilling portion Of their expert
cnce was three days of fierce war with a
tribe, the Waturu, who attacked them
wantonly, but whom they terribly chaslis-
ed, leaving the Waturu villages for many
miles along the level valley of the Lee
wumbu charred heaps, but losing 20 or Is
men in The fighting. When Stanley wrote,
March l, they had encamped on the shore
of the great Niyanza, the source, he is sure,
Of The White Nile, between $500 and 5000
feet above the sea, and draining the vast
plateau of central Africa, and he was about
to launch upon its waters the English boat
he had fetched so far over plain and
through jungle. The Herald does but JUS
tice 10 Mr.. Stanley when it observes that
his story exhibits "neither dependency
nor exultation." His temper is one of
resolute, honorable determination TO do
what he came there TO do f; he writes with
a IN anly spirit and bright intelligence,
which, let us hope, will not be lost in this
fatal, costly exploration, but survive it to
enjoy an honorable fame.

THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.
A Splendid Victory for the Republicans
and Hard Money In Ohio.

GOOD NEWS FROM IOWA AND NEBRASKA.
The Ohio election on Tuesday resulted in
a sweeping victory for the republicans and
hard money over the democrats and infla-
ton, Rutherford b. Hayes being elected
governor by q majority of about 10000
The returns are yet only fragmentary, but
1t is clear that the republicans have gained
pretty regularly throughout the state, ex-
cept in the iron and coal districts, and that
even in these the democrats made smaller
gains than they had expected. The Ger
mans voted solid for hard money. Re-
turns from 300 townships and wards give
republican gains OF nearly 5000 over 1873,
when Allen had 214, 1854 TO Noyes's 2l3,s37-
only Sl7 plurality. The democrats concede
Hayess election by 5000 majority, and the
republicans, apparently with better reason,
claim 10000. Hamilton county, in which
Cincinnati is situated, was carried by the
republicans by $500 majority, and they al
so appear 10 have elected their whole coun-
ty ticket. Five wards of Cleveland show
republican gain of 1900. There are only
meagre returns about the Legislature, but
1t was undoubtedly carried by the republic
cans by good majority.
The election in Iowa brought out an I'M
usually full vote, and resulted in repub-
lican victory by an increased majority,
probably about 10 per cent over that of 1874,
when it was 2S,743, and 20 per cent over the
22,565 majority for governor in 1873. Very
large republican gains are reported in some
counties, and democratic gains in one or
two. Des Moines gives about 800 republic
can majority. The best informed republic
cans estimate their majority for governor
at $4,000, and there is every indication of a
much larger republican gain in the Legis-
lature than on the state ticket; probably
they will have at least 40 majority on joint
ballot. The democrats concede the Legis-
lature and the state TO the republicans by
$4,000 majority.
In Nebraska quiet election is reported
from all parts of the State; the State tick
ct was for a new Constitution, three Su-
preme Judges and Board of Regents for
the State University. All republican can
didates on the State ticket are elected by
about 5000 majority and the new constitu-
ton is adopted by the same majority.

The PRESIDENTS SPEECH.-the max
ing of real speech by Gen. Grant is so I'M
usual an occurrence that that the details Of
its history become of interest. And thus
it was that the Des Moines speech was
born; During the afternoon the president
had given a reception 10 the school chill
dren in the opera house, when scene met
his gaze which would have awakened en-
thusiasm in the heart Of any American cit
izen. From the opera house he took car
rage for drive through the city. BY his
side sat Judge Cole of the supreme bench,
who has great pride in the capital city and
the culture and refinement of her citizens,
and especially in her public schools, which
are really worthy the pride ofevery citizen.
During the drive, in which the school
buildings were viewed, the topic of public
schools was discussed by the party, amer
various political questions had been talked
over. The president expressed himself
very earnestly upon the subject, and SEEM
cd anxious TO impress his views upon
those with him. The wish was expressed
that he would give them TO the public.
The president replied that II he had time
he would prepare them and present them
at the reunion, that evening, as he expect
ed'to be called on to say something, and he
knew Of no subject more impressed upon
his mind just then. The drive was cut
short, and the president taken to Judge
Coles residence at Z. 80, and, during the 80
minutes preceding supper, on four sheets
Of commercial nOte-paper, he hastily PEN
ciled the speech which has set the nation
agog. There was but one change from the
original draft. The words: "But we are
not prepared 10 apologize for the part we
took in the war;" were interlined, after the
speech was written, and with different
pencil from that first used. In another
place he changed the word government"
TO Constitutions"

"That sixty miles an hour is the final
limit of the speed of fast trains there is no
reason 10 believe" says the New York
Times. Railway speed need recognize
no limit except the power of locomotives,
and the latter can be increased very nearly
In proportion as the strength of the rails
and the road-bed is increased. OF course,
as speed increases, there is point where
friction would impose an impossible bar
rier TO too rapid speed. That point, how
ever, is long way beyond the fastest speed
which has vet been attained"

EXTRACTS FROM NOTE BOOKS OF REV. ADJ
OLSON DROWN, RELATING TO THE UNITA-
RAN SOCIETY OF BRATTLEBoRo.

Rev. VIM. Wells, a native of England,
and dissenting minister at Broomsgrove
in Worcestershire for twenly-three years,
landed in Boston June 18Th, 1893, and came
10 Bratteboro in March, 1874, settling on a
farm. He was at once asked TO preach by
the Congregational church in West Brattle-
boro, that being the principal village, and
that church the only one in the town. He
continued to officiate as pastor Of that So
ciety for twenty years, being re-chosen an
nually, often without dissenting voice.
In 1914 DIR. Wells gave up his pastoral
charge, and the next Sunday was invited
to preach at the East village IN the first
meeting house built there by The Congre-
gational society. This was erected in 1916
and stood upon the common. A bell was
