EAST AFRICAN COMPANY.
The British Company Recruiting Fighting
Men.


LONDON, Nov. 13.-Since the news
arrived of the hOmeward march of STAN
ley, with Emin Pasha and his party.
and of the reported disaster of DR.. Pet
ers' relief expedition, the British East
African Company has been rapidly buy
ing up all the best available men to
send out to protect its territories from
raids by the rebellious natives. Cap
tain Lugard, whose name is well known
i'll connection with the Lake Nyanza
troubles, with Mr.. George Mackenzie
and fifteen other men, left Momban-
zini this week. Judging by the ANNA
ton displayed in securing fight ng men,
the British East African Company
must anticipate havi ng to do some
heavy work in order to hold its terri
tory against the incursions of the
Arabs. The latest news from that re-
giOn indicates that all the native ele-
ments are up in arms and are for the
moment brethren in a common cause
to drive out the now detested foreign
erS. This serious uprising on the part
of the natives is attributed to Captain
Wissman's attempt to increase the
sphere of German influence by exter-
the people.

CanfeldisIu Dead

The Topeka Lance. which has been
a supporter of Prof. Garfield for chan
cellor of the. State university, sensibly
gives up the fight and outlines the in
stitution's plans as follows: 1T does
not require either second sight or tel
escope for an ordinary man to discern
the fact that Prof. Garfield will never
be chancellor of the State university.
Notwithstanding the many things urged
in his favor. This year the fight was
made in his behalf as strong and fierce
as possible; his friends and admirers
throughout the state brought every in
fuence to bear that could by any pos
sibility be conjured, and yet when the
regents met he was painfully lacking in
strength, and fell short of majority.
He is now ranked as a defeated candi-
date, and as such will lose many of his
old supporters, who with the world 90
upon the principle that success is every
thing. Prof. Snow is now acting as
chancellor, and if it is possible for him
to discharge the duties of that Office in
addition to his work as teacher, it is
probable that he will be continued at
the head of the institution until after
the next session of the legislature. 1t
is the intention of the friends of the
university to, if possible, secure the
passage of a law giving a salary of
S. 900, instead of $4,000, to the chan
cellor, and then secure for the position
some competent eastern professor, who

methods and more modern principles,

The Editors Confessional.

Very few readers of a paper know
how many matters come 10 the knoWl.
edge of its editors and reporters. They
act as priests to large and continually
growing church. In that confessional
the penitent reveals his most inner
secrets, confident that they will never
be revealed. Tie position of the editor
or reporter is but very little different
in this respect. One would be sur
prised to know how many and varied
are the secrets confided to him. He
has name for always being ION the
lookout for something to put in his pa
per" and is generally classeG among
those in whom it will not do to confide.
I ct when you have a secret, he is the
first man you go to with it. There is
not man in the editorial or reporter
lal force who does not have in his posses
sion secrets which would ruin lives,
wreck homes or otherwise injure some
one Or more persons in the city, were he
to reveal them. But he does not. The
truth is, the public never hears half
the news the reporter gathers up in his
and it is we'll that it does not.

IT would in no way surprise us if the
assembling of congress showed a
thoroughly organized opposition to the
deep-water harbor proposition, The
east will never allow the harbor to be
built if possible to prevent it. If it is
secured the western states must do
something more than hold conventions,
make longwinded speeches and pass
dreary resolutions. Organization, hard
work, push, may secure the harbor, but
nothing else will.
