BISHOP TAYLORs PIONEERS.
Progress of the Men, Women and Babies Who
Started Last Spring for Central Africa.

Progress of the Men, Women and Babies Who
Started Last Spring for Central Africa.
New York Sun.
Bishop William Taylor's missionary band is
pushing into the interior of Africa. His enter
prise Is unique and interesting experiment.
which now seems likely to be fairly successful.
This is the first time that so large number of
missionaries with their wives and little children
have set out to brave the dangers and undergo
the hardshipS of savage Africa. 1t is the first
time, Also that missionaries have started for the
almost unknown parts of the dark continent
with the purpose Of supporting themselves after
they got there.
The forty people with Bishop Taylor are now
planting line of stations FROM the Portuguese
town Loanda to the far interior. Some of the
stronger men have pushed on ahead to prepare
the way, leaving the women and children behind
in somewhat comfortable and salubrious
quarters. DIR. Summers, IN ~charge of the
advance guard, has selected sites for number
of stations at distance from the west coast of
from 200 to 400 miles, through the comparatively
elevated and fertile regions along the upper
CuanZa river, and north of it. which Livingstone
said was the most healthful part of the
Portuguese possessions AT these points land
has been secured for building mission houses
and for opening school farms, where industrial
education is to be afforded the natives. The
present force in the field can man only the
| stations already planned. and DIR. l.. d. Johnson
one of the most energetic men in the party, is
now believed to be his way back to this
country, where he will organize another party
| and lead it to Africa next May. With these
| requirements DR.. Taylor hopes next year to
push on to the Tushilange and Basonge countries.
some 700 or 500 miles from the west coast the
goal he originally had in view.
Only one member of the party has thus far
died He was blindly enthusiastic young man
who believed in faith cures When he was seized
with African fever no persuasion could induce
him to take medical treatment until he thought
| he was dying, and then it was too late 1t is a
curious fact that the very young children in the
party have been almost wholly exempt from
sickness. All the others have suffered to some
extent ifrom fever The mature adults have
been much less affected by the climate than the
younger men and women from twenty to twenty
five years of age
Bishop Taylor writes that the natives are Civ
ing his party very friendly reception, and are
eager to have the white people settle among
them. Some of the chiefs have offered to help
build the mission stations, and they hold out all
the In ducenents they can command TO get the
missionaries to make their homes with them
The Bishop thinks the stations will grow all their
food supplies and will be largely selfsupporting
Thus far at least they have escaped serious dis
aster, and they much encouraged, though
the formidable labors before them will require
the reatest patience and seltsacrifce.

was last fall 1t could not well be clearer The
question now, as then, is no mere party ques-
ton We are called upon to say whether we
will have any government at ALL
Mr.. Denny stands fairly and squarely for the
enforcement of the laws, and the Republican
platform is the broadcast. clearest most unequiv-
ocal political document that has been put forth
for years. If men can be committed to any
thing the Republicans are committed to de-
cent and economical administration. Mr..
Cottrell. on the other hand, represents the
liberal" that is. the lawless element of the
community. His record police commissioner
indicates pretty clearly what would be his course
as mayor. For months he has been engaged in
trying to nullify the laws which he will be called
upon mayor to enforce. Can he be trusteds
We are not willing to make the experiment
But we are not left to conjecture. Mr. Cot
trelIs character is pretty well known here ard
1t is not such as to inspire confidence. Tie
platform on which he stands, SO far as it can be
understood at all, is disgraceful. As for the
gang which controlled the convention that nom
mated Mr.. Cottrell, we know to our sorrow that
1t is thoroughly dangerous and disreputable.
There is no reason why any Republican should
refuse to vote his party's ticket; there is every
reason why Democrat should refuse to vote
his partys ticket. We therefore appeal to all
Democrats who have any interest in the good
name and in the welfare of the city-as we ap-
pealed last fall to Republicans who loved their
country better than they loved their party, nay.
to those who loved their party better than they
did its nominee to help us defeat that nominee
to rebuke the shameful action of their party.
On partisan grounds all honorable Democrats
should vote with the Republicans; for the Dem
ocratic party has shown that it needs defeat
for it's own good. The Republicans of Indian
apolis answered our appeal; will the Democrats
be as wise and patriotic4 In city affairs all men
should be Independent.

Mr.. G. S. Denny, tho present city attorney,
whom the Republicans have nominated for

city as it's counsel, and we can rely upon him foI
fair and fearless execution of the law.

HAVE RIGHT ON THEIR SIDE
Terre Haute Mail Ind.)
The fight is on at Indianapolis between the
liquor men and the law and order people Tie
Republicans have an honest, straightforward
platform and candidate who stands squarely
on it. They have the right on their side and
can hardly fail of success.
INTELLIGENT AND MANLY.
Kokomo Gazette Tribune.
The platform of the Indianapolis Republicans
is short and to the point 1t has the ring of in
telligence and manliness in it, and its fearless
ness speaks well for the healthy condition OF
Republican moral sentiment in the largest city
of the State.
THE TWO PARTIES.
Indianapolis Colored World.
One party represents the honest law abiding
people, headed by man OF unimpeachable repu-
tation. The other represents a class defiant OF
law, opposed to order, and will eventually bring
ruin in its train.
A CASE OF PICKLE.
Upton Advocate.
If Tom Cottrell is elected mayor of Indianapo-
lis the law and order people may as well put their
case to pickle.
