For Commercial Companies.
After referring to his past GOODNESS to-
ward colonization, Gen. Won Caplivi said
that it was tbs aim Of the government to
bring matters in the colonies to a satisfact-
Dry state and then leave the commercial
companies to carry on what the empire had
begun. He fully agreed with Herr Won
that the time might arrive when
would require every mark and every
man at home. Therefore, he would not
send a single mark or q single man to East
Africa more than was absolutely necessary.
Regarding slavery he said:
We must found stations, and bullet and Bible
must act in the cause of civilization. Without
killing slave dealers you can never abolish

Germany will not be injured, and the Just feel

The colonial government, he said, had
its origin in the same idealism or romanti-
cism that unified the empire, There was a
of this after the war and it was
toward colonizing. The move
ment was injudicious-as if one had only
to raise the land to c~onjure forth Jumps of
gold and ready-maae cigars, and was be-
gun with little practical knowledge or pru-
dence. Still he cherished the hope that
Africa would become q fitting sphere
for the investment of private capital.
England Wearies Stanley.
Mr.. Stanley, in an interview regarding
the German movements in Africa, said that

pliancy in regard to the operations being
carried on by the Germans. If England

would secure paramount influence in AT

self, the Germans went to Africa in 1885,
his advice had been repeatedly sought
accepted by them since that time. The
emperor and the Fatherland, Mr.. Stanley
said, are backing Maj. Wissman, and it is
impossible for him to fail in his uudertak-
ines to advance German interests in Africa.

Free Trade Losing Ground.
Mr.. Gladstone, speaking at the Golden
club, said that the free traders must recog-
nize with great disappointment how much
they have lost within the last
twenty-five Years. Militarism, which was
lying like q vampire over Europe, was
responsible for most of The mischief, but
not all, because free trade had receded in
where mllitarism does not pre-
vail-the United States and the British
colonies.
The great republic, he said, had never
accepted the doctrines of free trade. There
once q kind of qualified progress to-
ward them, which was checked, and opin-
ion became retrogressive. Still there was
great promise that the American free trade
party would ultimately triumph ct the
polls. Regarding bimetalism, he believed
that its advocates smelt therein a speedy
rise in prices. 1t was a movement in the
direction of protection.
Stanley Lionized. }-s..
The London reception to Stanley in Guild
hall was an enthusiastic affair. A dense
thronged the approaches and the
guests numbered 1000. The lord mayor
presented the explorer a gold oasket
an address from the corr
poration of London. Stanley in re-
thanks said Congo might have be-
longed to England had Englishmen list
ened to his lectures between 1879 and 1884.
Belgium was reaping 100 per cent. England
might have had east Africa, but her jour-
nalists see everything through an
glass. Germany to-day has
the lions share and cannot fail to
win in the long run Wissmenn never
heard of such things as Quakerisms,
peace societies, anti-enterprise companies
and namby-pamby journalism-all of
which are clogs to every hearty endeavor
made by England. He hoped the govern
ment would remember the services of his
companions and not chill their young souls
with the neglect which first warped poor
Gordon after his heroic achievements in
China.
