GoVERNOR LOWRY IND SULLIVAN.

If Governor Lowry Of Mississippi, is nflu-
enced by the wishes Of some of the leading
newspapers of his section, the predictions that
Sullivan will never serve more than nominal
term of imprisonment If any at all, will be
fulfilled. Here is 1.-The New-Oreans Times
Demociat" one Of the chief among Southern
newspapers, devcting a long leader to Sui
IivanS case, in which after praiSing Governor
Lowry. as he undoubtedly deserves to be
praised for his zeal in bringing Sullivan to
reckoning, it is suggested that the Governor
can afford to show clemency, now that the law
has been vindicated. II is assumed that there
will never be another prize-iight in Mississippi.
at least for a generation. and the Governor is
told that :" when the law has insured the GER
tain prevention Of crime. its end has been ell
tirely accomplished and to 60 beyond this
saYoIs OF vengeance against those convicted"
This assumption and argument make rather
startling proposition in penal science. 1t would
certainly be rash in the Governor to take it for
granted that there will be no more prize
fighting in Mississippi simply because Sui
Ivan has been put to the expense and incon-
venience Of a trial. On the contrary. IL would
be safe to assume that if Sullivan should be
paIdoned. prze-iighterS would prefer hereafter
20 do their fighting in Mississippi No; the
way for Governor Lowry to yindicate the good
name Of the State and his own dignity as an
officer will he TO let Sullivan serve ont his
term. A pardon would turn the whole pursuit
and prosecution Of these men into farce and
cover the Governor and his State with ridcule.
1t would be worth something to both to CON
firm the good impression this episode has made
upon the people Of the North. The press has
without exception, we think praised the Gov
einors action, and given him credit for alb
solute sincerity. If the upshot Of it all should
be a pardon, the people Of the North would
feel that the Mississippi authorities had only
been playing part. and would be disposed to
hiss all the performers. The disappointment
would be greater, because a feeling of genuine
qualification has been aroused recently on
several occasions among the Northern people
because Of the triumph Of the law abiding
spirit in various quarters OF the South. The
unprejudiced trial Of eldcl. and his safe con
duct out Of South Carolina after his acquitted
was n notable instance. Nor has the firmness
OF Sheriff Smith in resisting the Birmingham
mob been forgotten. Governor Seay, of Ala
bama, has ordered prosecutions against the
two GeOrgians who recently went through
the motions Of a duel on Alabama soil Gov
ernor Nichols. Of Louisiana, has capped into
Jail fourteen white regulators who were con-
ceFned in lynching negro prisoner.
Other examples have been given of de-
termination to enforce the law, and especially
TO repress personal violence, for which the press
OF the North has given the heartiest credit.
The case of Sullivan is by no means the most
important Of these, but it has attracted SO

TH1T CALL FOR THE DEMOCRATIC
STATE CONTENTION

A Wanting peanut politician sometimes over
leans himself. When he had finished the
composition of the call for the Democratic
State Convention, whiskey's Governor, DAVID
n. Hill doubtless hattered himself that he
had produced an uncommonly shrewd docu-
ment But it will be apt to occur to him be-
fore he is many days older that the call is
grave blunder, not only in what it says but in
what il fails to say. 1t cOddles the saloon
keepers and snubs that large element OF the
Democratic party Of Newly rk which believes
with Grover Cleveland that tariff reform
is the great issue now before the country. The
saloons are invited to send delegates to SYRIA
cuSe that is TO say, all who are opposed to
"inequitable and oppressive sumptualy legs
lation'' are invited to be thus represented. Is
q similar invitation extended to the tariff re-
formers? Oh. no; they are completely ig-
nored. Hills design apparently being to i'm
press it upon the minds Of the Cleveland men
that they have glorious future behind them
that they are "reminiscences and nothing more.
OF course the call will nightly please the
rum power. Every barkeeper in the State rs
he reads it over may well cbuckle and en-
claim: 1.-THE Syracuse Convention is going to
be whiskey'S convention by a large majority"
But it would not be strange if the reputable
people of this great Commonwealth, without
regard to party lines should condemn the call
as heartily as the saloons applaud it. 1t may
well strike them as a peculiarly fragrant at
tempt on the part Of a political party under
the lead Of i shameless Executive to score
point by pandering to the worst elements.
It is a call that diScrmnateS in favor of
class-the liquor dealers. The invitation to
elect delegates to the convention is not eX
tended to tariff reformers, to ballot refOrmers,
to prison reformers, TO the friends of our great
canal interests, to those who believe in COM
pulsOry education or in State care OF the in

keepers. The Republican State Committee at
its recent meeting reported general deter
mination in the party reSolutely to continue
The fight for high license The Democratic
Committee replies by Summoning the saloon
keepers to help mould the Democratic Con-
venii0n.
No intelligent man can mistake the signif-
canoe Of these things. The Republican Con
veution will stand for the forces that make for
the genuine progress Of the state. The Dem
ocratic Convention will stand for the saloons.

GOvERNMENT AND TIE FARMERS

The following extracts deserve publication,

who share the impressions here defined:
The farmers OF the West are the eve OF

to relieve the financial distress prevalent among the

FATE OF LIVINGSTOYES COUNTRY

The Portuguese in attempting to colonize
LivingStOnes Nyassa Land are revivng an
old and factitious claim. Their navigators
took possession of the eastern coast Of Africa
from Deiagoa Bay to Cape Delgado-sXteen
degrees Of latitude-nearly four hundred years
ago On the lower Zambesi stations were sub
sequently established. but with this exception
their sovereignty nominally extended over "a
narrow fringe of coast on the Indian Ocean
The plateaus of lakes NyasSa, Bangweola and
1anganyika were first approached from the
Zambesi by Livingstone and other English en-
plOreIs. Mission stations were established By
the Scotch and English churches. These re-
gi0ns have been occupied by British mission
aries and traders. and the Stevenson road be-
tween Tanganyika and NyasSa was made by
an English trading society. From the Shire
highlands northward to Ujiji the Portuguese
have been excluded, yet they are to-day claim
ing these regions. which were explored and
continuously occupied by EngIiShmen, and are
preparing TO build railways to NyaSSa and TO
plant colonies on its shores. Their claim il
grounded upon the existence of a fictitious
Portuguese empire, stretching in a wide belt
across the Continent from the Atlantic to the
Mozambique. The interior has neither been
cOlonized nor explored by the Portuguese, but
the two coasts are controlled by them, and
every square mile from sea to sea is covered
by their fantastic claim.
Professor Drummond. in his account of his
journey in tropical Africa, refers to the fact
that he was taxed by the Portuguese officials
at Qmlimane for the privilege Of entering and
residing in the interior. When he asked what
authority they could have over the Shire Val
ley and the Nyassa and Tanganyika lake sys-
tens where their flag had never been raised
he was told that the whole of the country in
land from the Mozambique coast line belonged
to Portugal. and that it well became him after
enjoying the protection of that ancient empire
to acknowledge the obligation by paying a
residence tax at the mouth of the Zambcsi.
The incident prompted Professor Drummond
TO sound note of warning TO the English
Government at the close Of his interesting
volume. lie advocated immediate action for
forestalling Portuguese activity in and pre-
tensions over the region where Livingstone
had labored and died, and where the British
had every right based on discovery and occu-
pahos. Recent events have shown how time
ly and necessary was this warning. Portugal.
