CENTRAL AFRICA.

It is difficult to realise the fact that
only eighteen years ago the very
existence of the great central lakes of
Africa, the Victoria, the Albert, and
the Tanganyika was unknown to
Europeans. Yet that is the short
time which has elapsed since Colonies
Spoke and. Grant first gazed with
astonishment on the waters Of the
great Victoria Nyanza. Near the
shores of hat lake there is now
a missionary settlement, the place
being Rubaga, the capital Of the
country called Uganda, whose king
bears the now widely known name of
Mtesa. On the Tanganyika there are
also missionary settlements, and Oh

until the fight Of shere Ali from
Cabul, in December, 1878, he resided
in Persia, generally at Meshed, but
when the Afghan power crumbled
away in it's first contact with u own
he saw that an opportunity offered
itself for establishing himself in Herat.
The governor nominated by the
Ameer was apparently 10th to refuse
an entrance to Ayoob at a time when
a common danger seemed to sink all
party differences, but as soon as the
young prince had obtained admission
into Herat he intrigued, and success
fully, against his fathers representa-
tive. When Yakoob Khan was nego-
tiating with us at Gandamak, his bro
Their Ayoob had so far consolidated
his power in the west that he was in
a position to send fresh troops to take
part in the war against ourselves.
These arrived on the scene too late,
for the Treaty of Gandamak had been
signed. It is generally understood
that Ayoob, on learning the conclu-
sion of the war, reproached his brother
for having made territorial concessions
to the Infdel; and the part taken by
the Herati levies in the attack on the
Cabul Residency will also be remem-
bered as substantiating this view.
Ayoob showed no inclination to leave
Herat and come to Cabul after the
withdrawal of our troops last year-a
circumstance which may be attri-
buted either to his disinclination to
surrender independent authority, OF to
the consideration that communication
through Candahar was only practica-
BILE with our assent. Even after the
outbreak of the last campaign he long
remained passive, and despite frequent
rumours, it was only within the last
few weeks hat he showed any incli-
nation to take an active part in the
progress Of events. His success will
inevitably make him the natural
leader of the party of Yakoob, and
while everything depends on his skill, !
r~ecollections are unavoidably aroused
of the former prowess and ability
shown by his brother in the same
quarter where he is now operating.
He doubtless hopes to emulate the
career of his uncle, the famous Akbar
Khan, but he will find that the state
of affairs is vastly different now from
what it was in 1912. It would be as
impossible as it is unnecessary to deny
that Ayoob has shown that he possess
es something of the great qualities
which have made the Barakzais SUI
preme in Afghanistan during the last
three OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

lakeby the energy Of Colonel Gordon,
lately Governor Of the Egyptian Equa-
torial Provinces.
At the meeting of the ROYAL
Geographical Society on the 26th
April last an interesting paper
was read by Mr.. Felkin, the medical
officer of the Uganda Mission, entitled
a journey to Victoria Nyanza and
back via the Nile" The journey
from Suakim, a port on the Red Sea,
to Rubaga occupied ia days; but as
there were unusual Instructions in the
Upper Nile, Mr.. Felkin reckons
that it could be done under ordinary
circumstances in So days. He est
mates the cost for one person at
nearly $1,7OO, of itself rather formi-
dable barrier to Central African travel.
After staying three months in Mtesa's
capital Mr.. Felkin returned by the
same general route; but finding the
river still blocked he made a long
land journey, of which he gives many
interesting details.
On the same evening Revd. G. T.
Wilson, the leader of the Uganda
Mission read a paper descriptive of
the country and the people. His
paper is full of interesting particular
from which we select a few items.
"The country Of Uganda is a COM
paratively narrow strip of land, lying
along the north and northwest shores
of the Nyanza or Victoria Lake; its
southern boundary being the Kagera
or Kitangule River (running from the
west into the lake) and its eastern the
Nile: it's northern and western boun-
diaries are not very clearly defined,
but may be roughly said to be the
first parallel of N. Latitude on the
north, and the thirty first parallel of
E. longitude on the West. The coun-
try may be roughly divided into tho
coast portion and the interior, the
aspect of these two portions being
very different. Along the coast of
the Nyanza, and for some distance
inland, the country is mountainous,
especially at the extreme ~north-wes-
terri corner of the lake, whore ranges
of fat-topped hills occur, having
swampy valleys between them, down
which sluggish streams make their
way to the Nyanza, their banks being
covered with magnificent forest trees
with a dense underground of ferns, in
which this region is peculiarly rich,
I myself having collected upwards of
fifty species, and many more no
doubt yet remain TO be discovered.
AS we get further into the interior,
away from the lake, the country
becomes less billy and the valleys
wider, the forests give place to groves
of wild date-palms, and the ferns are
s~upplanted by gigantic grasses, till
near the northern frontier the coun-
try is fiat, intersected at intervals by
morasses, and covered with scanty
Jungle, in which the elephant, buffalo,
zebra, rh~inoceros, wild boar, Gland
and other antelopes find a home.
The coast region is the best watered
and most fertile district which I have
ever visited in Central Africa, and
would be capable of growing almost

Flight of the ROosterS.

Kemble. Salter, Rumberger, Petroff
and Crawford, the convicted bribers,
failed to appear for sentence at the
Court in Harrisburg on Monday last
1t is supposed they have all escaped
They were known TO be in Philadel-
phia on Saturday, and as soon a. learn
ing the decision of the Pardon Board
concluded to escape the imprisonment
that awaited them. This is the most
extraordinary defiance of law and jus
tice ever known in this State. But
these trials will do much good towards
purifying and correcting the corrupt
practices of the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture. The gang of thieves who have
held high carnival there for some years
past are now overthrOwn. The de-
ception practiced upon Judge Pear
son and the law in these cases Is as
founding. The bail in Kemble, Salter
and Crawford's cases was 81 900 each
and was forfeited. In Rumberger and
Petroff, 50, 900 each, and also forfeited.
Processes were ordered by the Court
for the arrest of the prisoners if within
the State. But the general impression
is they have all gone beyond the State
limits.

Sherman and Blaine.

Gen. Grosvenor. of Ohio, one of the
most prominent politicians of that
State, was in Washington short
time ago, during which time he dined
with Sec'y Sherman, Senator Blaine
and other leading Republicans. His
visit was ostensibly social one, but
little doubt is felt that the real object
was to secure an understanding be-
tween the friends of Blaine and Sher-
man by which the former will make no
effort to secure Ohio for the Maine
Senator on conditions that Sherman's
delegates to Chicago shall be for Blaine
as second choice. The most candid of
Sherman's friends admit that if the
Blaine men should try to carry the
Ohio convention it would take very
hard work TO hold it for the Secretary
of the Treasury. But Sherman, Of
course, could not continue in the field
if his own State did not at least ap-
pear to support him. and, as the Blaine
men consider it essential to Grants
defeat that Sherman should remain a
candidate, it may be considered settled
that there will be no open opposition
to him in his own State.

Honor OF the State Saved

1t will be relief to all law-abldlng
and good citizens to learn that the
Pardon Board, in special session at
Harrisburg last Saturday. refused to
recommend pardon to Kemble and
company, convicted of corrupt solicita-
ton of members of the last Legisla-
turc. Too much praise cannot be ex-
tended to Lieut.. Gov. Stone and Attor-
ney General Palmer, who refused to
Join and recommend a pardon. The
Board consists of four The other two
members, Quay and Dunkel, voted for
a pardon, making tie, and conse-
ouently no action. The people looked
with deep interest to this proceeding,
and are glad to know that Lieut.. Gov.
Stone and Mr.. Palmer have saved the
State from disgrace and the law from
being a nulity.

Our Delegates to Chicago--Another
Letter from the People.

The following are extracts from
letter received from leading Republi
can of this county, on the position oc-
cupied 50 far by the delegates from
this Congressional district to the Chi
cago National Convention. Among
other things he says:
IL think if we make the proper ef-
fort our delegates to Chicago will come
out and define their position. The
matter should be put before them so
plain that they cannot go to Chicago
and vote for Grant, and then. come
back and say that they did not know
what the choice of the people was.
Mr.. Robinson and Mr. Gordon have
both observed a studied silence as to
what their intentions are. and this, to
nv mind, indicates that they are going
to vote for Grant and do the bidding
of Mr. Cameron, or else they are
going to wait and see what will turn
up. If delegate Robinson was in SYM
pathy with his constituents and in
tended to go to Chicago and vote for
Blaine, he would lose no time in so
declaring. But, on the other hand,
nothing has been able to draw them
out, and this indicates that there is
strong pressure being brought tc bear
upon them to keep them whipped in.
But | don't see how they are going to
make it, if the people speak out as
they should"
In commenting last week upon an
other letter sent us we gave our opin-
ion upon the subject of the above.
Nothing has since transpired TO change
it. and if there soon is not something
public heard from the delegate here
all we can say now is, that the people
will continue to move in the matter.

Representative Rumberger was the
only defendant in the city, and he ex-

Counsel for the prosecution had pre-

they began to fear that their expecta-

no doubt, TO the unbounded confidence

Senator Edmund's Bill to Count the
Electoral Vote.

Considering the great peril of the
country during the last Presidential
Count. Congress is most blameworthy
in not providing a rule to govern the
reception and declaration of the result
of the coming election. The bill Of
fered by Senator Edmunds seems fair !;
this bill directs that each State may
decide, at any time before the second
Monday of the January following their
appointment-that being the day for
the meeting of Electors-any contro-
versy as to appointment of Electors,
and that Electors who present certi-
icates of appointment from State Ex-
ecutives shall have their votes counted
by Congress For counting the Elec-
toral vote. both houses of Congress are
To convene in joint session, with the
President of the Senate in the Chair,
the second Wednesday in February
after the meeting of the Electors. All
writing, and TO be considered by the
houses separately, concurrent vote
being necessary to the rejection of an
Electoral vote. In case of two returns
having been received from a State,
only those votes shall be counted
which the two houses, acting sepa-
rately, agree in accepting, and the
votes which are certified by Executive
signature shall be received as the true
Electoral vote of State. The joint
session of the houses is to be without
debate, and no motion is to be in order
except to withdraw. No recess can be
taken except to decide question con-
cerning an Electoral vote, and recess
can be extended no longer than to the
next day. If the count is not finished
after five days of the joint session, no
further recess can be taken 1t is
quite certain however that the Demo-
cratic Congress will not pass the bill.

and don't want any such law in their
way.

THE CoUNTY-CANDIDATE MENTIONED
In this county. call for the County
Committee to fix the time for holding
the Primary election for this year not
having as yet been made, candidates
are slow as to announcing their names
The usual time of the Committee meet
ing for that purpose, in years like the
present. has generally been in the
early part of April and the Primaries
fixed for about the first of June. We
presume it will be the same IN this
year. and while no names are to this
time announced vet we hear of the
following mentioned az candidates
A Congressman is to be elected this
year in this district, Crawford, Mercer
and Butler counties. As proper can
didate to be presented by this county
the name of Hon. J. David McJunkin
is very generally and very favorabiy
mentioned, and, if he consents, will be
strong candidate to present to the
district conference.
A State Senator is also to be elected
in this district, composed OF the coun-
ties of Armstrong and Butler. We
hear the name of the Hon. A. L..
Campbell favorably spoken of for this
nomination. He made a good and
faithful member of the lower House of
the Assembly a few years ago. There
may be other candidates for this nomi-
nation but as yet we are not informed of
any.
Two Assemblymen, or members OF
the Legislature are also to be chosen
this year to represent this county TOR
the coming two years. Mr.. William
p. Braham, of Mercer township, Mr..
Thomas Hays, of Fairview, Doctor
William Irwin, William S. Waldron
and William NJ. Marshall, of Forward
township. are spoken of and we believe
are candidates. There may be others
but not that we have heard of as yet
A District Attorney is also to be
elected this year to serve for the COM
ing three years. A. T. Black, A. NJ.
Cunningham and X. Marshall, Esqs.,
will il is said be candidates for this
nomination.
An Associate Judge is also to be
elected to serve for FIVE years. For
this nomination we have heard the
names of David Douthett, of Forward
township; A. D. Wier, of Buffalo
township; Daniel Feidler, of Jackson
township, and others mentioned, but
we do not know certainly if candidates
or not. But no doubt number Of
candidates will be brought forward for
this position and the above is about
all we can give our readers at present

In q Dilemma.

Although the committee of the Craw-
ford county Republicans has addressed
Mr. Robinson for his views and inten-
tiOns as delegate to the Chicago Con-
vention, yet no answer appears from
him to the present time. We learn
that he has been wrestling violently
with the problem contained in the let
ter addressed him, and doubts, hesi-
tates and wavers as to the kind of an
answer he should make. The matter
worries him, and, knowing the embar-
RAISING position he is in, we deeply
sympathize with him in his dilemma
Asto voting, between Blaine and Grant,
we have no doubt his feelings are
strong for Blaine, and that he would sing
out his name in the National Conven-
tion like little man every time, if he
dare do so. But as between Blaine
and Cameron, Grants friend, ah |!
there's the rub. He can't vote for
both, and be dare not offend his mas
ter What, then, shall he do? A
happy thought might be to say to the
committee that it was none of their
business, and deny their right to inter-
rogate him. But that would hardly
work. Better come out, boldly and
fearlessly, and declare that you will
obey and honestly carry out the senti-
ments and instructions of the Republi-
cans of this district you, in part, are
to'represent. This is simple duty and
is being done all over the State. Come
out and say you are not bound to vote
according to the dictates of any man,
but will represent your constituents
fsithfully(?) as you always have done.
Help to give the "unit rule" such
dig ss will end it for all time to come.
in this course the Republicans of this
county will say "Bravo! well done,

Ridiculous Plea.

Mr.. Kemble, in his plea for pardon
previous to sentence, argues, that as
he and his co-corruptionists now stand
convicted before the world of one of
the gravest of crimes, and as the OBJ
ject aimed at by the criminal law has
been attained, and they have all suf-
fered enough already, and as their
conviction will serve as lesson to
others not to engage in similar work
in the future, he urges that they ought
not to be fined or imprisoned, but per-
mitted to go scot free. If such a mis-
erable plea as this avails with the
Board of Pardons. and these convicted
and self convicted men are set at lib
ertv, even before the sentence of law
is pronounced upon them, there is not
a lobbyist, nor corruptionist, nor ''roos-
ter" in the whole Commonwealth but
would chuckle clear down into his
boots, and commit the same crime
Kemble Il Co were guilty of. at the
very first opportunity. Why should
Tweed in New York, and Morton in
Philadelphia, be held tightly within
the clutches of the law, for simply
stealing and embezzeling, and these
men, guilty of a greater and wider
reaching crime, that of going to the
fountains of law and justice, corrupt
ing the legislator, and unsettling the
very foundations of government itself,
20 free? No. They should not be
suffered to escape They have been
adjudged guilty of an ofiense which
cries aloud for the severest punish
ment. And it is to be hoped that the
Board of Pardons, however it might
under less aggravating circumstances
incline to the side of mercy, will be
animated and governed by the one
great overshadowing sentiment, that
justice must rule supreme, though the
heavens fall-Beauer Times.

THE confirmation of certain Census
Supervisors for this State still hangs
fire in the Senate, which has the effect
of delaying the appointment of emu
merators in the districts already pro-
vided with Supervisors The hitch is
understood to be q political one as be-
tween the two Pennsylvania Senators,
and is heaviest in the Lancaster and
Philadelphia districts. The latest from
Lancaster is that the name of Mr..
Snowden has been forwarded, as a
compromise for that Superyisorship, in
order that the list for the State may be
completed at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
