Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-03-26

THE appointment of Mr.. Phelps to sue
ceed Minister Lowell at the court of St.
James has caused much comment by the
press of the whole country, and much of
it has been very uncomplimentary both
to Mr. Phelps and to the Administration.
That Mr.. Lowell has been an honor to his
country none will deny, and he has done
much to redeem the nation from the re-
proaches which were justly cast upon us
by European nations on account
of the conduct of General Schenck
when he represented us in England.
The United States are in a very peculiar
position as regards England, on account
of the Irish-American question; SO pecu-
liar have our relations been that portion
of the country have thought our duty in
England was merely to represent part
and not the whole, and so far has this
gone that the Springfield Republican
says the Irish are wild at the selec-
ton of a man whom they con-
slder as thorough-golng Engllshman.
1t may be on account of Mr. Phelps oc-
cassionally wearing kid gloves,aa thing
that heretofore has been a sure sign that
the person so doing was un-American
Then again Mr.. Phelps is condemned be-
cause he comes from Vermont, hope
lessly Republican state. This is stranger
yet, and has less foundation than the
other objection, for that one has some
foundation in national hatred, while this
latter is but an argument from the
spoils system. Whatever else we need
we must have competent man in Lon
don, and doubtless President Cleveland
has selected such an one.

A land flowing with wine and the people all
drunkards

Amoag the new missionary stations
established by the American Board is
that of Inhambane, on the east coast
of Africa, situated in about latitude
"a degrees and 200 miles northeast of
Delagoa Bay. The missionary at this
station, the Rev. DR.. Richards, lately
made an inland tour of $50 miles from
the coast, to see what he could see,
and in recent number of the Mission
airy Herald is given a very interesting
account of this journey, from which
we abstract the following:
On the third day out the explorers
came upon the Amakwakwa tribe of
whom Mr.. Richards sa S: "They
have no gardens at all. They are so
frequently robbed by Umzila's impis
(soldiers) that they have become quite
discouraged. Another reason is that
the native fruit is capable of sustaining
life, and is abundant; and, again the
palm wine flows freely all over the
country. This palm tree is usually
four or five feet high, seldom ten feet.
1t manifests little life, save at the top,
where few leaves appear, looking
like flower pot on stump. These
leaves are all cut off, and from the
cut each tree yields daily about pint
of delicious juice, but highly lntoxi-
eating when allowed to stand for a
few hours. There seems to he no
limit to these trees, and we were sur
rounded Oh every hand by drunken
men and women. Even little children
were staggering about as ingloriously
as their parents. 1t was difficult to
avoid trouble with these people, yet
our guns were respected, and ball
fired carelessly at near tree would
produce quiet for half an hour. They
were course, rough, drunken fellows,
often plundering, often plundered, land |
accustomed to quarrels and fights not
altogether bloodless. One could |
scarce expect to find pleasure in pass
ing among them.'

A railroad ditching machine has
been patented by Mr.. Alonzo II. Nc
Grew, of Hurley, Dakota Ter. 1t is
made with movable platform, hori-
zontally swinging derricks levers,
ditching scoops, ETC., for opening or
trimming bitches at the side of rail-
way tracks, or for excavating railroad
beds or similar work.
