Mr.. Stanley supposed it did. His pro-

thousands of hippopotami bathing in

for twenty-four hours at stretch be-
tween two bowling mobs o. cannibals

Finally they put off for him in canoes,
beating their breastsand throwing spears.
The fight lasted six hours, and hundreds
of the ratives, women as we'll as men,
were killed before they abandoned
the attack. The entire region traversed,
the lieutenant reports, is more thickly
populated than any other part of Africa,
abounds in vast forests of Indian rubber
trees, and is very rich in ivory.

A theatrical manager said a day or two
ago, II don't NOV whether you know It or
not. but nearly every prominent star, and
many Of the most successful theatres, are
not run by tho men whose names are printed
as managers, half so much as by some quiet
individual, who holds tho position Of the
power behind the throne, and who is not
generally known to the public as the head Of
the firm For instance, Dan FrohmRn, a
quiet and unobstrusivo gentleman, who
works night and day. is entirely responsible
for the vast success Of the Madison Square
theatre, just as Theodore Moss Is the pro
prietor and owner OF Wallack's theatre. In
the same way, John Duff Is the man who has
enabled Days theatre to succeed, and Billy
Conner was for many years the cause Of the
great success which attended John McCul-
lough's tours.
mention those few nam,s casually, but
the mo st pronounced instance Of all is that
of the mother Of Lolita. Lolita has two
brothers, both of whom are In the theatrical
business. They are clever enough young
men, but they have no more to DO with Lot
ta's business than she has herself. Mrs.
Crabtree, the aged mother Of the famous
star, has entire control Of tho finances, and
is the business woman of the whole Crabtree
family. She Is extremely sharp at q bar
gain, and much Of the great fortune which
Lolita has accumulated is the result Of the
keen business insight OF her mother.

The sweet young mother calls
From her work in the cosy Kitchen
With Its dainty ehltewashed walls
And grandma caves her knitting,
And looks for her all around,
But not a trace Of baby dear
Can anywhere be found
No sound OF Its merry prattis,
No CLEAN OF its sunny hair,
No patter Of tiny footsteps.
No sign OF IL anywhere.
All through house and garden,
Far put into the field,
They search each nook and corner,
But nothing Is revealed
And the mothers face grew pallid.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND As a
PARTY MAN.

Some Of the Republican newspapers
are exercised over the question whether
President Cleveland is a party man, and
whether he viii make party nominations
and appointments. Would it not be well
for these party organs to look over the list
of their presidents-Gnnt Hayes, Garfield
and Arthur. They were all party men
and p~artizan presidents. Hayes rewarded
q long list Of partizans who went south to
defraud Tilden and make Hayes president.
Then let the p~artizan editors look oye
the list Of governors and Legislatures.
Let them estimate the amount of nom
partisan action there is K be credited TO
them. They will find that for twenty
Eve years the Republican party has been
intolerant and proscriptive towards Demo-
Gratis. They need not 60 far to
find that of tho 10000 oficeholders
and employees of the Federal government
at this time, there are not 1000 Democrats
holding places, and the Offices held by
them arc If very moderate peeuniary
value. If there ever was q political or
ganization Of p~roscrirtive tendencies, il
has been the Republican party.
Grover Cleveland and Thomas A. Hem
bricks were nominated as Democats-as
party men. Everybody understood this.
In his letter Of acceptance, Mr. Cleveland
said he was a Denlocrat-never had been
connected with any other party No n
voted for him without a full knowledge Of
his party relations. Tho people expect
that he will make changes in the Offices,
especially in those whose incumbents may
be considered as representing the national
administralion-the leading political offices
in the states and territories. In support
ing Cleveland, the people said that they
thought ii was time to make a change in
the administration, that the Republican
party by a long lease of power, had be-
come corrupt and proscriptive. The time
had come for a ehange-not in the mere
political view Of the presidential incum-
bent, butt n the party controlling the govern
ment. This change Of administration
must 10 further than a mere substitute Of
a Democrat for a Republican in the prcsi-
dental chair. There must be an equaliza-
ton of the administrators of the offices
generally. At least one half of the Re-
publican oficeholders must give way to
Democrats; and ever more than one-half,
in order to give the majority a fair repre-
sentation, and secure a wholesome change
of administration. Capable, honest and
useful employees will no doubt be retained
in many places. But a Democratic presi-
dent, elected for the reason that a change
was necessary. must see to it that a health
ful change is made all along the line. A
majority of the people demand this.
Civil service reform demands it.

TIE collieries of Pennsylyanla nre scenes of continual warfare among the miners, and although the owners of the coal mines are themseves subjected to very heavy losses, as a rule they have brought upon themselves the cause of the trouble which shey are now power less to shirk. Ia their grasping penuri- ousness, not dreaming of the future COZ sequences, they imported a lot of for eign miners 10 replace the native work men, at greatly reduced wages. They were q hot headed lot of the lower classes of foreigners, scarcely above peorz iu intellect, and for a time all went well and the mine owners grew rich. Then came season of over pro duction and stagnation. with its attend- ant necessity of reducing wages. No amount of reasoning could make the miners see why twelve hours Of work to- day was not as valuable as the twelve hours work on yesterday, and rather than submit they refused to work, and would not permit others to take their places. Fresh importahons of laborers have been met with fresh opposition until the coal mines are almost con- tinual scene Of menace and riot.

SOME Of the Indians on the Pima agency are evidently making considera- ble progress in agriculture with result ing thTIftiness that is pleasing to note. They annually raise large quantities of grain, and their wheat make a very su- perior quality of four After reservIng a sufficient quantity for next seasons seed and to provide for their own neces- sary wants, the residue finds 8 market at the various towns m the southern portion of the Territory, considerable portion being purchased by Tucson par tles. With the money obtained from the sale of grain, the Indians not only clothe themselves after halt-civiliZed fashion, bat they particularly delight in sporting gay saddles for their horses and big spurs to urge them on. A few of these Indians are accommodating con siderable stock, and they have privste brands to mark their animals. The h. dians have recently permitted their heads to be shorn of the heavy growth of hair, and are building adobe houses in which to live. Altogether the condition of their improvement is so marked as to excite comment and greater interest in their welfare.
