hcc-theSe are some, at least, of the demands
which the people make of their chosen pub,
ilc servants. Let us see to it that South
! Carolina contributes her share to the pure
administration Of public affairs by keeping
her State Government true to the principles
which formed thcepolitcal creed OF the
founders of the Republic.
To those States Of this Union which but
lately have suffered the ravagcs OF war, and
have borne the trials Of reconstruction
these elections give reason to hope that the
iuc will soon come when political parties,
no longer divided by geographical lines,
shall consider the great questions of public
policy which concern the welfare and pro
grcsS OF the whole country. With the re-.
moval Of sectional questions from public
affairs, We may look with confidence for that
more perfect Union which Shall ''establiSh
justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide
Tor the common defence, promote the gen
era! welfare, and secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves aud cur poStcrity."
The condition of affairs within our own
State is full of encouragement and hope.
During the year now drawing to close the
people hare been spared the ravaycs Of

husbandman and all of our industrial pur.

In all portions of the State are To be seen on
every hand abundant evidences OF thrift,
and prosperity, which are greater now than
any previous time since the close Of the
late civil war. Improved methods of ca!turc
have already produced results which give
assurance Of the rapid and steady develop

cent experience has shown that the produc.

increased, and that Our genial climate and

Tall Shooting,

~ on talk about your shooting" said
a member of the National Guard to a
friend. 'Well, I've seen some of the
best practice ever witnessed right in
our armory."
Nonsense" said his friend, ''if you
want to catch on to real tall shooting,
Just toddle out West. There are lots OF
men out there who could whip the Eng
hsh and American teams put togeth-
err
''But not at long distant shooting"
said he guardsman.
Long or short distance" said the
friend. s'Why, I've seen some of those
scouts out there cut a twig in two at
five hundred feet, and with rickety
old rifle at that"
That's nothing" said the guards
man. I'VE have men in our regiment
who can split hair on the edge of a
knife at hundred feet. You can't get
ahead of our shooting
''Oh, that is simply child's play to
those fellows out West, said his friend
They drive pins into planks at two
hundred feet almost before they can
hold the rifle
1--WE have man in our company, "
said the guardsman, ''who can put a
ball through hole exactly its diameter
without grazing the edges, and one hum
dred feet with open sights. How is that
for lively shooting?"
THAT will do very fairly, said the
friend, ''but out in Colorado they think
nothing of little flyer like that. Why,
some of those fellows will stand with
their backs to the mark, shoot over
their shoulders, and drive ball upon
the point of cambria needle at three
hundred feet"
THAT reminds me of little shooting
done by member of our company a
few days ago." said the guardsmap
"a new rifle had been sent up to the
armory, and Jones made up his mind
to give it severe trial. He is the crack
shot of our company. Well, what do
you suppose he took for mark?"
''Give it up" said his friend.
''Well, he just set up peach at the
end of the long range" said the guards
man.
'EOh, anyone could hit peach.
'tOh, that was easy enough, but he
proposed to shave the fuzz off one side
of the fruit without"
''Stop.'
ssWell?e
THE West is worsted."

The American Stanley Ousstrippad by De Braz-
"a IN Race for the Head Waters of the
Congo.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1882-11-08


Congo.
Mr.. Stanleyss passage through Paris,
on his way to Brussels, assumed the
proportions of an event which excited
the deepest interest in France Years
ago the eminent traveller discovered i'm
the immediate vicinity of the Congo a
well-watered and densely-populatedd dis
trict, about one-thrd the size of France
and containing natural resources which
rendered its acquisition extremely de-
sirable. Mr.. Stanley was greatly struck
with the Importance of this discovery
and he was eventually successful i'm en-
listing the sympathies of the king OF
the Bel|lanS in an enterprise which
promised to prove exceedingly profita-
bic. The International African asso-
cation was formed. a credit of several
millions II francs was placed, with q
small band of Belgian officers, at Mr.
Stanley's disposal, and the party, after
much preparation, set out for the new
El Dorado. Meanwhile M. de Brazza,
gentleman of Italian origin, who,
curious to relate, was naturalized q
Frenchman in 1872. had, on the strength
OF small grant of 100,000 francs, al
lowed him by the French parliament,
already started with a few blacks for
Stanley pool, as the point where the
Congo ceases to be navigable is called.
M. de BrazZa took the Ogowe route
which turned out to be the better and
shorter one of the two, so that when
Mr.. Stanley arrived at Stanley pool he
found, to his infinite disgust, that he
had been forestalled, and that the ener-
getic De Brazza had concluded a treaty
with the local king, by virtue of which
a portion of ibis territory was coded to
the French and the remainder placed
under their protectorate. 1t is affirmed
here that Mr.. Stanley attempted to
overawe the natives by military dem
onstration; but that they remained firm,
hoisted the tri-color and ordered him of
the ground. Some time after the occur
renee of this episode M. de Brazza re-
turned to France for the purpose of OBJ
tanning the ratification of his treaty
with the king of the Batekes, which
was signed Oct. 3. 1880. He made his
appearance in June. but nothing has
yet been settled. On the other hand,
although nothing definite is known re-
speeding the precise object of MIR. STAN
leY's Journey to Brussels, the suspicion
is entertained that he may leave no
stone unturned in the effort to secure
this desirable land for the company
which he represents. The Duclerc cab
met is, therefore urged to ratify the
treaty without moments delay.
Whether it will adopt this step or dis
avow NJ. de Brazza is not yet known,
but public opinion seems to be almost
unanimous in favor of the former
course. The press wakes eloquent on
the subject of the preponderant role
which France will play in the future on
the African continent. History has
never recorded a more self-denying act
than the cession by the king of the Ba-
tekes of his densely-populated country
and its stores of wealth to M. de Braz-

The EGYPTIAN war has been to
England an Insignificant affair in
the matters of men and money as
compared with two Of her late con-
tests. The Zulu strife cost the
British army ffty-eight officers ana
1928 men killed, and the campaign
in Afghanistan took the lives of
ninety-nine officers and 1924 men.
Those two wars cost respectively
100000 and 19,500,oO0, The es-
timated cost Of the Egyptian cam
paign is e2,oOO,OOO while only about
200 men and officers on the British
side have been killed or lost their
lives through sickness contracted

THE PRIMARIES.

Tomorrow evening the delegates
TO the county convention Will be
chosen by the various precincts of
salt Lake County. The primaries
are the most important part of the
coming delegate election. It is q
well settled fact that whoever is
nominated by the Peoples conven-
ton TO be held next month will be
elected. The man who comes out OF
the convention with its endorse
me t may regard himself as del
egate. The people will vote for
him, and being fully aroused to the
necessity of eIecting they viii give
him such majority as viii astonish
the opposition. The votes being
assured, the people should make
themselves heard in nominating.
Let the very best men in the
precincts, those who will rep
resent the majority voice Of
the precinct, be sent to the
county convention, and they in
turn will choose wise representative
delegates to the Territorial conven-
ton, which viii name the next dele
gate to Congress. We hope there
will be full attendance OF voters
at the primaries, and that all viii
be manly enough to advocate their
choice for delegates fearlessly. Il
is also hoped there will be no at
tempt to defeat the honest purposes
Of the people. If the latter can
make themselves heard and needed
at the primaries, they will 90 to the
polls cheerfully and deposit their
votes for the man they feel is the
choice of the majority.

CROOK D REGISTRATION

1t IS stated the county registrar
| Of this county registered people last
week, accepting their oaths and
putting their names on the lists, as
if the registration were done the
week previous, within the period
prescribed by law. We can hardly
believe the commissioners viii
sanction or sustain the assumption
Of authority by Judge Hoge. The
local law IS plain ana explicit in the
matter Of the September registra-
ticn or revision, and only under that
law could The registrar act. If the
registration cUula ( continued last
week, it could 60 Oh next week, and
even up to election day; and if this
IS to be the rule, or he interpreta-
tion of the law. the people ought to
be made acquainted with the fact.
There are many people who were
unable to visit a registration
during the second week in Septenk
Der; III one little precinct of a
northern county eleven men
eligible TO vote were away from
home during registration week, and
hence lost their right to vote next
November, but if those registered
by Judge Foge last week are en-
titled to ,le then all who can find
a registrar willing to assume tie
responsibility of putting their
names on the list may also vote.
Some registrars asked the Commits
sion if they might continue the
revision" the second week, but in
each case permission was refused,
the instruction being to close the
lists on Saturday night as the law
directs. Clearly it is the duty of the
Commission to erase the names of
all registered after the week begin
ming the second Monday in Sep
TENDER had expired.

v ere the acts of Congress and
of the state legislature would make
criminals of more than half of the
population. The legality of the
Governors action being doubted it
might be asked if it would not be
criminal for the officials TO accept It
as lawful. The people put them
into Office with the expectation that
they would maintain their rights
and those Of the community. II
they fail, through negligence,
cowardics or wantOnaess. they are
censurable if not criminal. Should
the Governors right to do as he has
done in this mltter be established
by the only authority that can
determine it, namely, the judicial,
then It viii be time for the officials
to submit TO an obnoxious law and
surrender their Offices; but the
officer who yields before the courts,
after q full examination, have de-
cided that ne has no right to hold,
is unworthy the confidence OF those
who trusted him with the duties
ard responsibilities Of the place.
The person who thinks the
peoples officials ought to get out be-
fore there has been a judicial deter
minatiOn Of rights in the premises,
is a fool or something worse. The
HERALD hopes the Governor as
sumption will be fought to the bit
ter end, and it firmly believes that
the final winning will be made by
the people. Wherever it can be
done, we hope before there is a sur
render of the Office the case will be
carried to the highest court in the
and the Governor nor none
of his appointees can consistently
com plain if this be done. Of course,
if tie courts decide that the Gov
errors appointees are the rightful
the others will gracefully |
step aside, but until such decision |
let every man stand firm.

THE OFFICIALS.

The ''libeFaIs" profess surprise
that the cor and Territorial
officials whom tue Governor has at
tempted to supplal by men of his
selection, and his excellencys ap-
pointees seem to feel hurt because
the old officers do not promptly step
down and cut, and surrender The
Offices. They appear to believe that
the officials are guilty Of a great
wrong and ought to be repudiated
and censured by the public. Men
have queer ideas sometimes. One
Of the proudest thoughts of the Off
cial is the reflection that he is the
choice of the people whom he
serves, that the voters chose him be
cause Of their confidence in his in
tegrity and ability. Not one Of the
Governors appointees can enjoy
such a thought. If ne thinks of
the matter at sl he will realize that
however honest, capable and faith
ful he may intend to be, the people
must regard him, should he get the
Office, as Il usurper. His admins
tration OF affairs may command
confidence, but nothing can dispel
the popular belief that he is nor en-
titled to the place. As to the re-
fusal Of the present officials to sur
render. they are doing just right.
They would be recreant were they
to do otherwise. The very general
belief is, that the Governor had no
right to make the appointments.
That belief is supported and en-
b. some of the ablest
lawyers both ia and out of Utah
who say the provision IN the law
under which his excellency assumes |
to act was never intended to apply
to the offices which ne has at
tempted to ill. But should it prove !
after the contest, that the Cover |
nor was right, it would neverthe-
less be wrong for the officials to |
yield now. 1t is no crime to test |
5he validity of law. If it |
