LONDON, Aug. THE next empire
which England will control will embrace
Africa, which Is now being founded in
half dozen places at once, with the old
mixed agency of trader and soldier,
which won India. Vast tracts OF the
country are being almost daily appropri-
ated by the great African companies,
which excites scarcely notice from the
ordinary British public than the old
East India company attained when it was
humbly craving permission to trade with
the great moyul. One of these compa-
MES has practically appropriated the
whole region of the upper valley OF the
Nile. Another is paramount in the re-
tion between Modifassa and lake Tanga
nyika, and now third is going to occupy
an area as large as Spain, called "Living
stonia," stretching from the middle O
the seambesi away up to the corner edge
of lake Tanganyika.

Communicated.
EDITOR or THE LEADER:

EDITOR OF THE LEADER:
DEAR S,R:--In strolling around the city
of Great Falls last evening we picked up
a small piece of paper, which we inferred
at first sight was an extra from your Of
fee, but on close examination found that
it claimed to be news paper of itself, in
which the editor attempted to discuss
city affairs, more especially the proposed
engine house.
He first stated the city council would
meet Tuesday evening to take further
steps in regard to that matter. The coun-
Gil met for the purpose of cancelling the
months bills and for no other purpose,
so the Tribune was off again, with its
wild fancies and mistaken notions.
He also states that much trouble and
delay might have been avoi1cd If the
fire company had laid a statement before
the council, describing the kind of build
ing they needed. That is exactly what
the fire company did. So this is another
false alarm around the corner.
He also says the city council ordered
the committee to procure the plans, but
fails to say the council ordered the COM
mittce to advertise for bids for the erec-
ton of the building, giving SO much
time to get figures. The committee found
the time insufficient, Snd the time was
further extended by the council. So an
other slight deviation from the truth
lie also says the plans were never ac-
cepted by the council. 1t goes to prove
he knows nothing about the proceedings
Of the council, for the plans were recciv-
ed and accepted.
lie calls the men Of the fire company
laddies, by which one would imagine the
author was Scotch, but as O'Dynamiter is
not Scotchman we will conclude he was
too far gone to write the article himself.
He contradicts himself again by stating
that Mayor Gibson handed over the city
to the new council free from debt and
Immediately tells us that the city is in
debt to the tune of $525 per month for
the next twenty years, for one item alone
A debt created without any advertising
for bids. All of which was done by tht
council under Mayor Gibson.
How can he explain himself on this
point? Probably by telling another. W.
, do not find fault with Mayor Gibson o.
, his council, and would not have alluded
! to them i'll any way had their names no
, been found in the little slip of paper il
n the gutter, which seemed to make it pub
! lie property.
= The present council has never ordere'
: any improvements, except supplies 10
: the fire company and that was made al
Il solutely necessary by the action OF tn
. former council.
The present council found the city se>
eral hundred dollars in debt which wi
:, likely last until the writer Of said articl
is dead and forgotten.
= We will filally say, that the council ha
II never ordered a building built, and ma
q never do so, but it is probable that the
'. reserve the right to do SO, O'Dynamite

August Forum; OF New England u
century ago, Prof. A. l.. Bartlett says
about one in hundred could say that his
family came from Scotland or the north
of Ireland: one in five hundred may have
been the child of a Huguenot. Extreme
poverty was almost unknown, and there
were few who could not read and write
Upon religious and political questions
these people thought very much alike.
Except upon the sea coast nearly all the
people lived upon farms; but all along
the coast were many who lived by fish
ing and by building ships. and in th'
towns dwelt many merchants grown ricl
by foreign trade.
