Music Of Central Africans.

What pity il is that the travellers who
penetrate into the heart of Africa are not.
as rule, musical enough to notate the
songs which are so interesting among
those little known but very interesting
and musical tribes. So far as we know
Schweinfurth has been the only musical
traveller who had gone far into the dark
continent, and many Of his musical
memoranda were destroyed by Gre before
he emerged from Africa. There is much
that may be discovered In Cthnology by
tracing the melodies Of a primitive peo-
pie, and many points connected with the
rise Of music may bc iuierentially de-

Is the Route Practicablee

Notwithstanding the emphatic warn
ings Of all experienced Arctic navigators,
and the difficulties encountered on the
Alert expeditions, the projected route
from England through Hudson strait to
Fort Churchill continues to be discussed
In England and Canada; and quite
recently the establishment of a line Of
steamers on this route was advocated by
no less an authority than Commodore A.
ii. Markham, in lecture delivered before
the Royal Geographical society. As he
failed, however, 10 disproye any of the
objections raised against the practicability
Of this route, which are chiefly founded
on the always imminent danger of Fox
channel ice, his remarks fail TO con-
vince us.
There is no doubt that powerful but
small steamers can accomplish the jour
ney annually with comparative safety.
but this is far from being sufficient TO
make the Hudson Strait a practicable
trade route. The premium on this route
would have to be enormously high on
account Of the great number of dan
gers to navigation, and at all seasons
the steamers would be liable TO long
delays. Sir Charles TupEor, who was
present at this discussion, did not take
as favorable q view as Markham,
while DR., Rae condemned the plan as
wholly untenable. 1t seems somewhat
TO see il again revived after its
impracticability appeared to have been
proved hy the results of the Canadian
Hu6on Eay expeditions. Science.

wnaIe. swordlish and Thrasner.
Mr. George Roy, officer Of the watch
Oh board the Maggie G. Moore, is our
authority for the following remark
able incident which occurred about 700
miles north northwest of Cape Flattery.
He states tina the attention Of the crew
was simultaneox directed or attracted
to the existence OF blood floating on the
adjacent sea Speculation was rife as to
the immediate origin Of 80 strange spec
tacle, and careful watch was kept to
ascertain il.
Eventually il was found that whale
was blowing and spouting on the lee side
OF the schooner, where the blood was
first noticed, and partial solution Of the
phenomenon was gained when a sword
tsh darted up close, and following that
terror Of the seas came the enemy Of
whaledom, the thrasher (or killer, as the
tish is sometimes designated). The
thrasher sprang from the water some
ten feet into the air, and with pene-
trating crash alighted upon the whale.
fierce conflict ensued, and the re-
suit was that the whale appeared to be
exhausted from the attack the thrasher
made upon him. Recovering himself,
however, the whale, after several efforts,
succeeded in diving below and came up
on the starboard side of the { ho0ner.
The crew then took their wha.Lg iron
and struck at the thrasher, but uafortu-
nately did not hit on vital part The
thrasher, following the whale, made
another savage attack on his victim, and
hit for second time within the sight of
the crew. The whale appeared at this
juncture to be in extremities, and the
swordfish, realizing the position, made a
further attack at the common enemy and
stabbed the Jonah swallowing monster.
All was now over; the whales remain
ing strength was gone, and he was COM
PEELED to succumb TO his fate with the
grace Of doubly assailed warrior Of the
deep. After death he houndered 'topsy
turvy," and the thrasher was observed
TO be luxuriating on the choicest parts of
the conquered dead. This is no mythical
story Of the sea, but an incident of
peculiar interest TO those who realize the
hostility existing between the thrasher
and the whale and the characteristics of
the swordhsh. The latter knows no
danger. He does not discern between
afioating hull and buoyant whale. His
sword is bound to penetrate either at all
hazards and risks 70 himself. and in this
respect he s similar to some misguid-
ed non-arlphibious creatures.-Victoria

Length and Verbosity.

The Document Briefed.

The Document Briefed.
or the $1,000 words of the Presidents
message to congress, hurled at them
Monday we furnish only a synopsis.
After the Usual platitudes the prevail
ence OF millionaires is touched upon
and then relating to free trade he says:
FREE TRADE.
Our workingmen, ,enfranchised from
all delusions and no longer frightened
by the cry that their wages are en-
dangered by just revision Of the tar
iff laws, will reasonably demand
through such revision stesdier en-
ployment, cheaper means OF living In
their homes. freedom for themselves
and their children from the doom OF
perpetual servltude, and an open door
TO their advancement beyond the linn
its of a lsboring class. Others OF our
citizens, whose comfort and expendi-
lures are measured by moderate sal
aries and fixed incomes, will insist
upon the fairness and justice of cheap
ening the cost Of necesssries for them
selves and their families.
When to the sel1lshness Of the bene-
ficiaries of unjust discrimination un-
der our laws there shall be added the
discomfort of those who suffer from
such discrimination, we will realize
the fact that the beneficient purposes
OF our government, dependent upon
the patriotism aud contentment OF our
people, are endangered.
Communism Is hateful thing and
a menace to the peace Of organized
government. But the communism of
combined wealth and capital, the ont
growth of over-weening cupidity and
selfishness which ipsidiously under
mines the justice and integrity Of free
institutions, is not less dangerous than
the communism and oppressed power

justice and discomfort. attack with

TREATY WITH MEXICo.

The wisdom Of concluding a treaty
or commercial reciprocity with Mexi-
co hss been heretofore stated In my
messages TO congress, and the lapse Of
time and the growth Of commerce
with that close neighbor and sister re.
public confirm the judgment so ex-
pressed. The precise relocation of our
boundary line is needful, and sde-
quste appropriation is now recon
meDded.
Daily Yellowstone journal., 1888-12-05
ABOUT PENSION LAWS.

A revision Of the pension laws could
be easily made which would rest on
just principles and provide for every
worthy applicant, but while general
pension laws remain confused and inn
perfect, hundreds OF private pension
laws are annually passed which are
the sources of unjust determination
and popular decentralization.
Daily Yellowstone journal., 1888-12-05
REDUCING THE SURPLUS.

The necessity of the reduction OF cur
revenue is so apparent rs to be gener-
ally conceded, but the means by
which this end shall be accomplished,
and the sum Of direct benefit, which
results TO the citizens, present con-
troversy of utmost Importance. There
should be no scheme accepted as sat
isfsctory by which the burdens Of the
people are only apparently removed.
Extravagsnt appropriations of the
public money with all their demorsl-
izing consequences should not be toll
Grated either as means Of relieving
the treasury OF the present surplus, or
as furnishing pretext for resisting a
proper reduction in tanff rates.

Two able and leal virginians

Two able and leal Virginians
arc mentioned in connection with
tho Democratic Congressional
nomination in tho 9th District
Jno. A. Buchanan, Of Washington,
and Henry @. Stuart Of Russell.
Both are young men of strong
character and unqucstioncd abili-
ty, and i'll the person Of either of
thein.the Southwest would be cred
itably represented in the National
Congress. If either Of these men,
or one equally as capable and with
as much reserve force, could be
sent to Congress and kept there
for fifteen OF twenty years, there
might be some hope of having this
great section eventually felt in all
measures pertaining to the gcncr-
eral management Of government.
But until politics is made matter
Of business, and general interest
placed above personal ambition,
this condition may not be looked
for. We are too provincial as yet
TO make it possible to have as one
of us a Randall or Blaine, a Car
Isle or Kelley. There are too
many of the voters willing to iii.
vide the honor among the many
politicians to make it possible for
any one man to serve more than
an apprentices term in the House
of Representatives,. 1t may be
said that a district which sends Il
new man to Congress mt every
election is practically without rep
rescntation. The day may come
Ill our history when, after select
ing a man of promise, we will re-
tain him till lie becomes IL man of
