Banalya, and am told of nothing but death
and disaster, disaster and death, death and
disaster. see nothing but horrible forms
of men smitten with disease, boated, distig-
urel and scared, while the scene in the
camp infamous for the murder of poor Bart
tie OF, barely four weeks before is simply
sCkening.
A FATAL DATE.
"On the same day. six hundred miles
west of this camp Jameson, worn out with
fatigue, sickness and sorrow breathes his
last. On the next day, August IS, six hun
bred miles east, Emin Pacha and my officer,
Jephson, are suddenly surrounded by in
furiated rebels, who menace them with
loaded rifles and instant death; but fortu-
nately they Belent and only make them
prisoners, to be delivered to the Mahdists.
Having saved Bonny out of the jaws of
death, we arrive a second time at Albert
Nyanza, to find Emin Pacha and Jephson
prisoners in daily expectation of their doom.
THE INFLUENCE AT THE HELM.
"Jephson's own letters will describe his
anxiety. Not until both were in my
camp and the Egyptian fugitives under our
protection did | begin to see that | was
only carrying out higher plan than mine,
My own designs were constantly frustrated
by unhappy circumstances. | endeavored
to steer my course as direct as possible, but
there was an unaccountable influence at the
helm.
ACKNOWLEDGES GODS HAND.
81 gave az much goodwill to my duties
as the strictest honor would compel. My
faith that the purity of my motive deserved
success was firm, but | have been conscious
that the issues of every effort were in other
hands
SAFE, SOUND AND WELL.
" Not one officer who was with me will
forget the miseries he has endured yet
every one that started from his home des-
tined to march with the advance column
and share its wonderful adventures is here
to-day safe, sound and we'll, and the Herald
correspondent may interview them to his
hearts content.
WATCHED OVER BY THEIR CREATOR
This is not due to me. Lieutenant
Stairs was pierced with poisoned arrow
like others; but others died and he lives
The poisoned tip came out from under his
heart eighteen months after he was pierced
Jephson was four months a prisoner, with
guards with loaded rifles around him, That
they did not murder him is not due to me.
WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH.

as many as seventeen streams and broad

1T WASN'T MEANT.

An editor sat IN his bClletp pierced chair
In "A camp in the ruhited west,
Awaiting fellow with eight winters hair
Who had promised to sow in his breast
Some lead of round and dangerous sort,
That's planted all times with pop
And covered with flesh in cadaverous sport
While the coroner fingers on top.
He held tween his mOlars a one excl stick
OF tobacco afre at the end,
And yearned Tor the fellow who wanted to
lick
A delinquent subscribers best friend.
While a a. shooter encountered his breast,
And dagger inflated each boot
And a doctor serene fingered near to invest
In the stiff of the libeled galOot.
At Kaiser's saloon was the other bad man,
Quite athirst for the editors gore,
Avowing he'I scatter the pen-pushing clan
That had written hum up Just before,
And itching to fOndle the editors eyes,
And to chew up that clam at mess.
While clutched in his hand was a pistol the
size
or a Waterman pipe, more or less.
Two pistols embelished his gore-clotted belt
And winchester hung idly by,
As starting to surfeit the quill drivers pelt
With some bullets before he should die,
He grirnly remarked he would whittle a job
For the coroner over the way,
And brandished bowie to dazzle the mob
And to torture poor animate clay.
OF course twas implied. when the killers
wOnld meet
And beabor each other with lead,
That blood, flesh and marrow would deluge
the street
And hedaub the whole village in red.
But some how or other no painting was done,
As the pair now my vision engage
And empty tOQether two SchOOnPrS in run,
For the whole was a button the stage.

consists in the organization

the leading manufacturers

tariff protects them against

thus break him down at once;

this practice is called fore

A FIELD DAY.
Vance and Cowles win Honor and
Praise.

Washington, Jan. 19. Last
Monday january 14th.) was
a field day" for North Car
olina, in both Houses ofCon-
gress. In the Senate, Sena-
tor Vance made an able and
lucid exposition of theiniqui-
ties Of the salt duty, or in
palmer English, the tax on
salt. From 1916 to 1860
\ there was no tax on import
ed salt, ad the price was
! 26.4 cents per bushel. At the
latter period a duty of Is
cents per hundred pounds
was imposed, and the price
rose to 45.4 per bushel. In
other words, the price was
increaced by the amount of
the tax and one cent over;
nnd yet it is stoutly main
tanned that the tariff is not a
tax on customers. This tax
and range Of prices continued
in force until 1873, when the
tax was reduced to 8 cents
per hundred pounds. and the
price fell to 85.4 cents per
bushpl.
The Senator presented q
table Of invoice prices Of for
eign, compared with domes-
tic salt, from the year 1868
to 1881 inclusive. The table
shows that in theformer year
the invoice price Of imported
alt was q fraction over 83
cents per barrel. while that
of Michigan salt was 1876 cts.

The Ta,if and Trusts.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Janna-
ry 25.-Ex-Unite1 States Sen
ator Carl Shurtz delivered an
admirable speech, a few even
ings ago, to the Common
wealth Club, OF New York.
Though a prominent friend
of tariff reduction, he arose
above party, and gave whole
some advice to the incoming
alministra ton. He warned
Mr.. Hariisonand isfriends
Of the danger in the delay OF
reducing the tariff. The de-
mand Of the people for a re-
duction of duties had only
begun. Yetit vast the strong
point in favor of the election
of Mr.. Cleveland. If the dis
cussion had begun a year or
two earlier, he would have
been reelected by agreat ma
jority. He, everywhere gain
ed votes in the manufactur-
ing districts, among the op-
eratives-the class iq whose
behalf, it is pretended, the
high protective duties are i'm
posed. But he lost ground
in the agricultural districts,
among the farmers, where
discussions are less frequent,
and where there is less oppor-
tunity for an interchange OF
idea. Mr.. Schurtz maintain
ed that no future event could
be more certain than that we
are on the eveof a great rev.
olution of public opinion ON
this subject; and the danger
was, thatwhen the revolution
shall come, the reaction
against the protective policy
will induce a too sudden
change Of system; that by
sweeping away oil protection
at once the manufacturing
system would be wrecked,
and that a financial crash
would follow. It would not
do for the Republican states
men to be led by the manu-
facturers. They willneverlet
lgo- their hold. Their motto
is to make hay while the sur
shines.
This is good advice to tht
incoming Republicans, but il
1is not even remotely proba
ble that they will heed it
How can they resist the die
tation 81 the vast money
power that sustains them
