THE report that Stanley has converted
King Mitesa promises a rich field for the
preachers in the wilds OF Central Africa. II
a worldly layman like Stanley can convert
the King, there is every reason to believe
that the professional preachers of the Gospel
might easily convert every soul of the Congo
tribes. Here is certainly very great oppor-
tunity for the American preachers VINO have
been suddenly thrown out of politics. Send
the astute and devout Burchard to Congo.
The Republican politicians have no further
use for him. They wish he had gone to
Congo before be met Blaine.

SENATOR FAIR says Cleveland could have
gained the electoral vote in Nevada If there
had been money enough furnished TO have
maintained respectable Democratic organ
ization in the state. The Democrats did not
ask for any outside aid, and had insufficient
means Of their own, so the election really
went by default Mr.. Fair also says that the
Democrats would have carried California but
for the division in the party. Facts like
these furnish no encouragement to Repub IL
cans for the anvass four years hence.

SENATOR BECK in an able speech delivered
on Tuesday charged that John Sherman, as
the head of the Treasury department, had
Disseminated unjustly against silver to the
injury Of the public interests. The Senator
also improved the opportunity 10 indicate that
the an iety of certain statesmen to legslate
on the subject, on the eve of a new admins
tra.ion, would not prevent honest and prae-
teal treatment of the silver dollar in the fu-
ture. The precedents of the past would prove
neither guide nor STUN bling block.

1T is pretty conclusive answer to the com
plant that fair ballot could not be had In

lands 2le electors represent an average Of
%, 425 popular votes each, aud in the south
not single one of OIeveland's electors rep
resents less than 5000 ballots. The more
the election statistics are analysed, the
brighter is the Democratic record.

Tonight, at Plymoth church, Mr.. Brisbin
lectures Tor the benefit of the reading rooms

Is the most attractive place Of its kind. Il i
hoped our citizens will second Mr.. Brisbin's

not say, IS worthy Of hearing, while the OBJ
Ject should commend it to general favor

THE CLONE FOR SALE.

It will be seen by the proceedings Of a
Democratic meeting, elsewhere reported,
that the GLOBE, with all its equipment, AS
ISOLATED Press franchise and business, was
formally rendered, on yesterday, to the
Democracy Of the state to be held by the
party as the exponent Of their political faith.
There is nothing strange or mysterious in
the matter. 1t is a simple, straight forward
business proposition which has been ma
turely decided upon.
The GLOBE company, for reasons stated in
the report Of the meeting in question, de-
eided 10 offer the property for sale, and have
accordingly placed it upon the market at a
figure so reasonable, that they know It will
readily command apurchaser among practi-
cal newspaper men. The company felt, that
while they had right to do with their prop
erty as they wished, they were honorably
bound TO first offer the paper TO the political
party IT represents, before placing II upon the
open market.
That obligation was discharged yesterday
at meeting Of representative Democrats,
gathered from all parts of the state, and
while 1t is hoped aud preferred by the present
company, that the work begun yesterday
should be carried TO a successful conclusion
by the eommitte in whose hands it has been
placed, the matter is nevertheless a business
proposition and subject to the usual results
OF trade when property is put in the market
at given figure. As ii is the only English
Democratic daily paper in 3 state which cast
10000 votes for Cleveland and Hendricks
the business field it occupies is a wide one.
The position Of the GLOBE as a newspaper
and the value OF its plant and business are
too well known to need comment 1t will
enter upon its eighth year next month, re-
moving in the meantime TO a new and ele-
giant building erected expressly for its use
and admirably adapted 10 the purposes
of the business. There need be no appre-
hension OF the pernanency or any backward
step on the part of the GLOBE. 1t is most
thoroughly and extensively equipped, and its
purchasers, whoever they may be, will have
the certain incentive Of self-interest In caring
for their large investment, TO make the paper
better than heretofore, and constantly ad-
vance 1t with the growth of the community it
serves.

A CHICAGO contemporary has singular code
Of ethics. 1t advocates lynching, but that
kind of lynching that lynches-that does its
work thoroughly. 1t gives an account Of the
attempted lynehiug of murderer in Nebras
ka, where the sheriff appeared on the scene,
as the poor wretch was gasping his last cut
him down and restored him to consciousness.
The culprit still lives, in the custody Of the
officers. Upon this the Chicago paper re-
marks:
In this case lynching ia TO be criticised because
1t did not lynch. The rude justice melted out to
the murderer would have been well enough II il
had been completed. The Sheriff who interfered
at such stage Of the proceedings, and the men
who, having assumed Jurisdiction in the matter,
permitted an appeal to be taken when their de-
cree was already in process Of execution are
equally blamable for the unhappy result. There
should be no lynchings that do not result in the
death OF the victim.
