MIR. TIsdel,s Mission Abroad.

Stanley's explorations in Central Africa
first brought to the notice of the civiliz cd
world a country Of vast wealth extending
from the mouth Of the Congo several
hundred miles inland. At present its
principal exports are rubber and ivory
but it is rich in minerals of all kinds,
and its soil can easily be made enor-
mously productive. European nations
have not been slow In discovering the
value of this country. or the immense
commerce that must grow up as it is de-
veoped. Several of them have planted
colonies in 1t, but at present the trade is
principally with the natives. The need
for some permanent understanding as to
the future control Of this vast domain has
led to the formation of the International
Congo association, in which England,
France, Belgium, Austria, Italy, and
Portugal are interested. The United
states recognizing the desirability of
representation in this association, congress
at its last session passed abill authorizing
the appointment Of an agent, and Mr..
Willard r. Tisdel, of Ohio has been named
for tho place. Mr.. Tisdeps mission is a
delicate and responsible one, amounting
in effect to the negotiation Of treaty
with these powers which will recognize
tho right of American merchants to trade
in that country and protect them in its
exercise. MIR. Tsdel has some knowledge
of diplomacy, having had much business
Of the character he is now sent to transact
with foreign governments. He has also
Travelled much abroad, and has twice
visited tho Congo country, with the re-
sources of which he is probably more
familiar than any other person in this
country. These facts undoubtedly pro-
cured for him the appointment, which
came to him altogether unsolicited on his
part, and there is every probab ility that
his duty will be discharged in very
satisfactory manner.

Tho president of an Iowa railroad hap.
pened, not long ago, to be on train
which carried an indignant passenger in
the person of an unkempt, roughly
dressed, tobacco chewing chap from some
back township. He explained the cause
Of his anger by saying:
"Dod rot 'em, they made me put my
dog in the baggage car and pay me so
cents for his ride, but I'll get even with
the company, or I'm u COON"
"How?' asked the president.
"How2 Why, our boys over in the
swamps wanted to run me for the lcgis-
latur. I'll git thar. Then III move to
have this road investigated, and I'll inter-
duce bill to cut down freight and pas.
senger rates, and I'll see to it that no
official above conductor gets a cent of
salary while the pay Of employees is in
arrears. Zip! I'll mako it hot all over.''

president, ''it must have been mistake.

A Breath That Is Hot and Cold.


The Kansas City star complains bitterly
because the management of the bourbon
campaign is in the hands Of Messrs. Bar
mum and German. two rank protection
lists. 1t says that this policy is one that
invites, and will probably insure, deieat."
We beg to remind the Star that it is too
late to whimper or squeal. Through
cowardice, or treachery, or some other
equally reprehcnsible cause tho ma
tionsl democratic convention did
not declare either for protec-
ton or for free trade its platform is
jumble of words, which may be interpre-
ted to mean one thing or another, as the
interpreter plea'es. The democratic
party has come before the world with the
voice of Jacob and the hand Of Esau its
breath is at the same time hot and cold.
The democratic party must stand the
consequences, and if such papers as the
Kansas City Sta do not like it there Is
but one alternative-they must dislike it.

will find that tho percentage of loss on
the thousand dollars in the Buchanan
administration was 1916 and that tho
loss under the Arthur administration,
down to the Both of June, 1888, has
been eight mills per $1,000. Undor
the Hayes administration the loss was
two cents on the thousand dollars. Under
the Grant administration it was sl.27.
The figures show gradual improvement
from the days of Buchanan to the present.

Agnipst FrIchifnl Odds.

NitttyV ANtWos
In less than six weeks after Clevelands
nomination we find all tho condition s
changed, and he must bo blind who does
not see in all the signs of tho times un-
mistakabe representations oil democratic
defeat next November. Mr.. Cleveland,
whose canvass should have been bold,
aggressive, and outspoken, has been put
on the defensive, and we find his man
ayers rosortIng to all those small tricks
and petty articles which have hitherto
made their party an object of general
distrust. We discover that instead of
booming grandly up as the standard
bearer of great national party, Mr..
Cleveland Is nothing more than blush
ing defendant to a scandalous dispute as
to the paternal proprietorship of a small
boy. Where are Messrs Manning. Bar.
mum, Prince, and those other statesmanly
democrats that they should suffer the
great issues of national canvass to be
overshadowed by u discussion as to the
paternity of a drooling foundling? 1t
may not be too late for them to retrieve
the fortunes of the party they have been
charged to lead to victory. 1t may not
be too late for them to partially fulfill
the glowing promises which were made
in their behalf when their candidate was
made the candidate of the great demo.
cratic party. Candor compels the con-
| fession, however, that there seems to be
most trightGul odds against them.

A FRIEND OF LABOR.
What Henry wstterson's Paper Once
said on tho Occasion OF n Strike OF
New Orleans Laborers.

Louisville Courier.Journa,
We SEQ that the deck hands and roust-
abouts at New orleans are putting on airs
and refusing to work for 800 a month.
This is a diabolical outrage upon the
marine commerce and trade of the south.
Now, there must be an end put to thi
outrageous state of affairs and the sooner
1t is done the better. These impudent
strikers are fools enough to believe that
steamboats, cannot do without them, and
must submit to their strikes and demands
Whenever they choose to make them. Let
all boats plying tho lower Mississippi and
landing ut New Orleans quit running for
thirty or sixty days. Give the rascals to
understand that they can neither rule nor
ruin. Let the wheels of commerce and
trade all along the Mississippi be brought
to standstill, to deadlock, and it won't
be long before the states will take the
mater in hand and establish laws regu-
lating the price of labor. There is no use
encouraging such rascally oppression on
the part of men who would "rido willing
horse to DEATH" Starve them out by tying
up the boats and stopping all river busi-
ness until they are willing to work updgr
contract for fair living wages. .,gnen IL
