4 mighty revolution seems to be Im- pending in the center of the dark conti- neut. The valley of the Congo is in habited by a colored race, who are not Negroes. They are all tall, with thin noses and lips. and are industrious and warlike. Merry NJ. Stanley says there are 59.OOOOO0 of them whom he Is trying .o c.yilizc. IL is also said that Chinese Gordon, ss he is called, has been sent to help him. This Gordon, by the way. l5 an Englishman, who has @ marvellous history. He first won reuOwn iu the civil wars Of China. Subsequently be c0nluered the SOudan for Egypt and the same territory has inst been occu- pied by Fl Mahdl The last reports are to the effect that he has been ordered co inc SOudan by the English government to confront Fl Mahdi and beat back the forces of the False Prophet. Tue dlfti- culty with the valley of the Congo Is Its remOteuess from the sea coast. The valley. fertile and pOpUlOUs region, IS 3JD miles from the Atlantic ocean. Were a railroad built this distance between lt and the coast. it would render available the wonderful resources Of Central Atr- ca. and brmg a country almost as popu- lous as the United States into relations with the rest of the world. There ls no reasonable doubt but tha. by the begin nlug Of the next century measures Wl.i have been tasen to open Up COugolaud, and it is some comfort for Us Co know 70 America that Henry VI.

SINCE the last conhagration in Pre'- colt the insurance companies have raised the rate of insurance to 10 per cent in most instsnces-refusing to insure haz- ardous risks, This rate is ruinous. and cannot well be borne any length of time. We do not think the facts in the case warrant this notion on the part of the insurance companies. The fires have not been general confGgraIons, by any
 means. They have been only such as occurring in the East would be termed
 ordinary fires. and 1t is taking undue advantage of circumstances. While We do not approve of the companies making so much out of so little. it may be tbat the familisr saying, "It IS an i'll wind
 that blows nobody any good" will be applicable to our Prescott friends and spur them on to greater eXertions in es- tablishing good water works and a per feet fire system, which that city, set on a hill, should have. With proper facilities at hand to extinguish fires, the rate of insurance should be reduced at least two-thirds from the present rate-the saving in the per cent paid the insurance companies would soon pay the cost of q l good fire system. We hardly think Prescott will hesitate any longer. Sc long as there Is not good water supply
 and fire facilities. 20 long will insurance
