AN AFRICAN TELEPHONE.
Ingenious Method Employed by the Came
room Natives to Transmit News.


a part Of Reclts map showing the tribes
who live IN the CAMERON district, West AZ.
RIGA, is shaded to show exactly what por-
ton CT the country is The home OF the four or
FIVE little tribes who have perfected an in
cenious and practical telephone system that
distinguishes them from all the other natives
Of Africa. Everywhere among the blacks Of
Africa the big drum or tamtam is used in
war and on festive occasions, but il is only
these CAMERON natives who have discoy-
cred how useful the tamtam may be made
as a rapid promulgator OF news over noun
tain and plain.
or course, the news Is telephoned by drum.
ming on the tamtam, but the sounds pro.
duced are not Signals They represent syl-
tables and words, and 50 grow into sentences
like the ticks Of a telegraph instrument Il
is a very ingenious invention, and deserves
70 rank with any of our own devices for the
rapid transmission Of news that were in vo-uo
before the electric telegraph superseded
them. The force and rapidly with which
the instrument is beaten are elements
in the Interpretation Of the idea 70 toe

also formed by combinations Of strokes.
something like the Morse alphabet II
is a complicated system. and snoaks highly
for the intelligence OF the people who de.
yiSed It.
The system is a secret tina. Is conadei to
only about roo OF the natives Though five
or six Of the white residents and explorers IN
that region have told all they know about
the tamtam telephone its language is as YET
wholly unutelligiblc % them, as the secret is
carefully guarded Only few women have
been instructed in tho art, and no slave is
permitted 70 acquire it.
II is the duty Of every operator 70 he ready.
II need be, when he hears tie tamtam % re-
peat the message, which is taken mp in turn
by operators further inland I'm this way any
news may be communicated for a distance OF
forty or fifty miles in a few hours Thus the
chiefs correspond with one another. and no
important news happens that isnot promptly
telephoned all over the district. When "a
ship arrives at the mouth OF the CAMERON
river, the tamtam may be- heard beating far
up the side Of the neighborng mountains,
and tie news is repeated from drummer 90

fines OF the district IL white party pro-
poses 10 visit some chief in the interior. the
tamtam carries the news % him that white
visitors are coming almost before they have
started on their journey Thus our henighted
African brother has taught himself a way 10

Samoa has civil war, owing to the
fact that the Germans on the island were
singing patriotic songs of the Father
land when they were stoned by the na,
tiyes. The German Consul-General al
once called for bold marines from The
German men of war, and proceeded tc
dethrone the King, whose national army
of unclouted barbarians was ingloriously
routed after a pitched battle of seven
minutes with the Dutch marines Then
the German Consul enthroned another
King, whose prime minister proceeded to
collect taxes somewhat on the scale of the
Republican protective tariff in our coun'
try.
But the natives would not stand this
and at present they are trying to put
another King on the throne.

That is a grim joke perpeirated on the
Republicans by Senator George OF his
sissippi.
The Republican patriots, headed by
that immaculate statesman, John Sher-
man, wanted a bill passed that regulated
trusts.
Mr.. George offered an amendment TO
the effect that the President, when salts
fed that the price of any article of mer-
chandise is raised in consequence Of
agreements or combinations, TO issue his
proclamation suspending temporarily the
collection Of import duties upon such ar
ticles."

Boss Malone is beginning to discover
that the people in his district are not
quite so ignorant of the ways of politics
as he thought they were.

Inc Sensible Are Sociable.

/ have often wondered what it was
that made men affable, and why there
should exist so many degrees Of sociabll-
ity. After bordering over this question,
I have concluded that while intellect
cuts large figure in making a man af-
fable, often the main reason may be
found in self interest. A boor always
shows that he is deficient ia common
sense, and gains absolutely nothing by
his rudeness but the dislike of his fellows.
A sensible man will always be civil

stress OF circumstances and charged with
sympathy with the " Rebellion There
fore the great party of free institutions
has lacked courage, until lately the tide
turned and the people OF the North re-
cornised the practical sense OF feconeiiia-
ton in both politics and business.
since that idea was well understood
sbe Democratic party has been freed from
the incubus Of malign prejudice ana
has taken a new inspiration from the
new era, and for the first time since the
war 1t has displayed the courage Without
which no principle, however sound Is
worth q feathers weight on the chang
ipr and doubtful elements OF politics
The Democratic csucas OF the House
has declared that the Democratic MAORI
Nv in the House will not go for an ad-
iourpment until they hear from the Sen
ate on the important question Of the day
Nothing could be better to vindicate
the ideas Of the peoples party aud call
the Republican Senate to its trumps'
The Republican Senate has had the Mills
bill for four or FIVE months and nothing
has been done with it, either to submit to
the Senate substitute or an amendment
We all know that the reason is just
another specimen Of the policy OF the he-
publicans.
We all know that the declara-
tions of the party in two platforms are
contradictory, and that the question OF
the tariff before The Senate involves the
Republicans in confusion OF opinion
that demagogue convention at Chicago
might stand but that the august Sena-
tors are rather too proud TO endure.
The Mills bill is a trap so far as 1t ap-
pears before the Senate, for there is
nothing in it that has not been enunci-
ated In different terms by the biggest
leaders Of the Republican party.
Certainly the great men in the Repub-
lican party would not have allowed them
selves 10 be recorded as favoring the
present ideas OF Blaine or Harrison.
From General Grant all down the roll
of the big chiefs of zen years ago The SEN
timent of the intellectual and patriotic
leaders of the Republican party was
against the idea of Blaine and the plat
form of the Chicago Convention.
Now what is a great party to do when
its national convention has put it astrad-
die of suicidal contradiction and its
greatest leader, run mad with Jealousy
and disappointment, proceeds to impale
his party on the vanity Of bis own per
sonal idessy
How can the Republicans fight a Ma
tional contest when the two platforms OF
1884 and 1888, respectively, contradict
each other, and the candidate and the big
leader contradict each otbery OF course
the only fight is doodle" and lying, and
we appreciate the capacity Of the Re
publican party in both of those elements
But this is a campaign Of business in
which men willinquire what the PROPOSE
ton of low taxes means against war
taxes in time Of peace. And enough men
will study Il ont to find out that the Re
publican policy is high taxes, TO support
the rich at the expense of The poor, and Il
manipulated home market to raise the
prices of the necessaries Of life.
On that issue we only want correct
popular information and Democracy will
win.

idiotic piece OF policy for the House 70
