meet them, and they remained until the 18th

On December 4th they arrived at Bagam-
oyo, opposite Zanzibar, and that evening a
banquet was given to the officers of the ex-
petition by the officers Of the German garri-
son. 1t was on this festive occasion that
Emin Pasha fell over the balcony and was so
seriously Injured. After his recovery In
March he gave Stanley the cold shoulder,
and entered the German service. What
seemed still more surprising than his ingrati-
tude to Stanley and officers was his neglect
OF his own followers, whom he left to shift
for themselves without the slightest care for
their interests.
In Zanzibar grand banquet was given to
the men of the expedition. their wages were
paid, and a purse of $500 was divided
among them, Stanley contributing $1,000 of
it. An equal amount was funded for the
benefit of the widows and orphans Of those
who had persisted. 1t is pleasant to read
that Stanley found an agent Of 1ippu-Tib
who had $4,000 Of his money. and that he
attached 1t. and sued him for damages in
falling to keep his contracts. The loss Of
the money will touch the crafty Arab on a
sore spot.
The appendix gives the telegraphic con-
gratulations which reached Stanley at Zanzi-
bar, and include dispatches from Queen Vic
toria, Emperor William, King Leopold,
President Harrison. the. Khedive, and distin-
guished men all over the world, and empha-
size the fact that the American journalist is
recognized as one of the great men of the
age. He has won his place by pluck and
ability, and the world is delighted to award
him the credit. He has received part of
the reward which always awaits the gallant
knight In story, in the shape OF bride who
seems to be the loveliest of her sex, and it Is

The New York Star devotes considerable
space to discussion OF the decline OF the
game OF base ball. That 1t has declined
cannot be denied, for almost every day some
second rate club or league disbands. and the
first class clubs are barely able to secure
spectators enough to make decent appear
ance on the boards. The Star finds the
cause Of the decadence to be the spirit of fall
si6cation that seized upon the club managers
as soon as the interest was divided by the
rival leagues that began this season. False
returns were circulated. many games were
scheduled that nobody thought of playing,
and other sharp and fraudulent practices
were INDUCED in in the vain hope of leading
people where they would not 90 voluntarily.
This sort Of thing can have but one result.
II persisted in decent people will abandon
the ball ground altogether, and the games
will take on the character Of mere gambling
concerns. In fact gambling on the games
has done more to ruin good ball playing in
this country than anything else. The temp
tation of "bookmakers" to arrange with club
captains and managers for certain results
has made maLy games merely matters Of
hire and salary, the side promised the most
money winning. To restore the game to its
former place an association similar In ma
chinery to the National Association that con-
trolls horse trotting must be formed, and its
orders strictly lived up to. Not until this is
done can shaken public confidence be rees-
tablished.

1t Is extremely difficult to account for the
persistence with which the town of Waldo
boro continues to oppose the sale of the
Knox d. Lincoln railroad. When the propo-
sition was first made by an unknown syndi-
cate acting through the agency of Mr.. Levi
G. Wade there was room for a reasonable
doubt as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of accepting it,
but conditions are changed now. The names
OF the purchasers are made public and the
terms Of the sale also. The names are those
OF responsible railroad men, mostly identi-
fed with the Boston & Maine or the Maine
Central, and the terms are sufficiently liberal
to insure the town owning the stock and
bonds of the road against loss 1t may be
that the town of Waldoboro objects to hay
ing the railroad become division of the
Maine Central or the Boston g. Maine. This
objection seems not to be well founded II the
experience Of other lines of railroad once In.
dependent lines, but now divisions of great
railroad system, count for anything as estab-
fishing precedent to govern this case. 1t was
the same with the European & North Ameri-
can, the Bangor & Bucksport, the Portland
Il Oedensburg and other lines leased OF, pur-
chased by the Maine Central. Every one of
these lines has been greatly improved since Its
absorption by the Maine Central and while
receipts are larger rates are no more and In
many cases less. Then again possession of
a road by corporation that is financially re-
sponsible, insures prompt payment of inter-
est upon the bonds, and dividends upon the
stock, which are likely to be wiped out under
separate management by poor judgment Of
the officers. or by accidents or other calls for
extraordinary expenditure. The tendency
Of the times, in railroad management as in
other business enterprises is toward consolL
dalton Of small lines under one general con-
troll and this movement in the Knox g. Lin
coin is along that line. Matters are so ar
ranged now however that the continued op-
position of Waldoboro will not operate as
bar to the transfer, 1t only serving to place.
that town in the position of chronic out
slider. To be strictly consistent Waldoboro
should refuse her share of the rental of the
road as 1t is, according to the towns theory,
tainted with fraud.

The Mississippi constitutional convention
is devoting itself largely to the invention of
some new plan by which the colored vote of
the State can be suppressed now and for
ever. A proposition to incorporate the Aus
tralIan system in the fundamental law was
voted down, because it was seen that it
might disfranchise many white. as well as
negroes. The same objection was made to
an educational qualification. The eventual
solution of the problem will probably be to
continue the present plan of whooping about
the country on the day before the voting to
let the ''niggers' know that there is to be
a fair election.
