ne Obtains Circus Mans Reward
for N Nexro How

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
An interesting story is current in
Washington about Mr.. Beck in the
early days of his life in Lexington. He
was always keen TO take the side Of the
weak against the strong On one occa.
sion he offered to thrash whole circus
company In the slavery days, when, in
a circus, a call was made for volunteers
to'ride trick mule. Fifty dollars was
offered to anybody who would stick on.
A little darkey came forward and
mounted the mules back
After going around the ring n few
times the mule began series of tactics
TO dislodge his rider. But the little
darkey stuck like wax, and 1t soon be-
came pretty plain that the mule unaided
could not get him off. The ringmaster
thinking himself safe In maltreatng a
friendless negro boy, came up and gave
his colleague, the mule, several sharp
cuts with his whip that sent darkey
and mule rolling over in the saw dust.
Mr.. Beck saw the fraud. He jumped
down from his seat, dashed into the
ring and catching the ringmaster with
very persuasive grip, administered
some Jacksonian language TO him and
demanded the money for the boy. The
ringmaster showed fight. This was an
easy matter, but 1t did not look so easy
when the whole circus company took
sides with the ringmaster. The specta-
tors Immediately sided with the man
who had championed the friendless
little darky. The money was paid
over to the bOy.

Africa, and the Quest, Rescue and Re
treat of Emin, the Governor of Equa.
toria," will be issued by Scribner's
Sons early in June, says the New York
Maa and Express, and is to be published
simultaneously in the English, French,
German, Spanish, Italian and Swedish
languages. A great deal of the Illus
trations has been done by American
artists from photographs taken by
Stanley and other members of the eX-
pedition.
Probably the most interesting portion
OF this latest narrative, and, according
TO MIR. Stanley. what will be his last, is
that portion of 1t which refers to what
Is believed to be an entirely new race of
men, the dwarfs of the great forest re-
gion. They are minutely described,
and illustrations are given of the king
and queen Of the pigmies; also of many
individuals and groups, dwellings, cos.
tunes and hunting and fishing imple.
ments and of their instruments of war.
Another striking incident in the
record of Stanley's discoveries is the
chapters relating to the finding of the
Mountains of the Moon" heretofore
vaguely described and considered
mythical by later travellers. The great
Aruwimi forest, with its tropical vege-
tation and rubber trees exceeding those
OF the Amazon forests, will interest
scientific men, while an equally great
surprise will be the description of the
lake regions of fertile uplands on the
EQUATOR, where white men can live.
and which Stanley predicts will be.
come the future granary of Africa.
This region has temperate climate,
rich soil, luxuriant grasses and fruits,
and is inhabited by ''classic faced
peoples" entirely different from the
tribes of the Congo.
Geographers and scientific men will
be interested in the story of his explora-
iions OF Lake Albert Edward, which he
skirted on the west, north, and east
shores, solving one of the few remain
ing problems In African geography.
The book will contain vivid descrip.
tion of the horrible cruelties practiced
by the Arab slave. traders and ivory
raiders, who have desolated thousands
Of miles of productive country.
No other member of the Emin relief
expedition is allowed to publish any
account of the trip until six months
after the appearance of Stanley's book.
All through his work Stanley has en-
deayored to emphasize the idea that
Africa is waiting to be civilized, and
he has given many tangible proofs that
the interior regions and peoples of the
mysterious continent are open to civii-
Zation and are worth the effort.

CONGRATULATED.
Two Georgia Members who Voted foI
the Copyright Bill
From the ANanM Constitation.


From, he atlanta Constitution.
We take pleasure in setting Congress
man Stewart right in regard to his
vote on the Copyright bill. He was
first reported as not voting. Then his
name appeared in the Congressional
Record as voting against the bill. Now
he says that the Clerk of the House
made mistake in recording bis vote,
and he wants it understood that he
voted for the bill.
We are glad of it, and we extend our
congratulations TO Mr.. Stewart. Ordin-
arily a Congressman need not be CON
graduated when he votes in line with
the intelligent people of his district or
State, because it is nothing more than
might be expected. But, under the
present circumstances, Congressman
Stewart and Congressman Lester have
won the applause of the intelligent
people of Georgia by voting in behalf
of national honesty.
That the rest of the Georgia members
were stampeded and demoralized by the
disgraceful and brutal arguments of
Payson of Illinois is fact that cannot
be explained on reasonable grounds.
The widest Anarchist never went
further than Payson did in his harangue
against the Copyright bill. His argu.
ment that it was right to steal from
foreign authors was disgraceful enough,
for 1t is an argument in favor of the
stealing of all kinds of property. But
he did not stop there. He went on to
argue that there is no such thing as
literary property-that an author has no
natural right in the creation of his
brain and hand--that he owes what he
is to the time and the people. This
Anarchist argument was potent enough
to be applauded and to kill the bill. An
author owes no more to his surround
ings and TO the people than an inventor,
who is protected in all lands; nor than
farmer, who succeeds by the labor of
his bralA and hands.
But the congressional demagogues ap.
plauded the brutal utterances and voted
against the bill, failing to perceive that
the argument that robs the author also
robs the farmer. The world goes awry
when ignorance and demagogy dance
their wild jigs together.
Once more we congratulate Messrs.
Stewart and Lester. The fact that they
We're not impressed or overcome by Pay
sons Anarchist arguments is worthy of
more than passing notice.

A STRANGE Story.
Secretary window Said 60 be for Oleve-
land in 1888
From tho Nep York star.

From tho NeiD York star.
William Window, the Secretary Of
the Treasury, is at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. Few people know that for a
time he seriously meditated coming out
for Cleveland in 1888, but such is the
fact. Soon after he came back from
Europe, in August, 1888, he sent word
to the editor Of prominent Demo
cratic newspaper that he wanted to be
interviewed, in order that his views on
the side Of tariff reform might get be-
fore the country. The editor seut re-
porter to see Mr. Window. The re.
porter went to Mr.. WINDOWS little
six. by nine" office in one of the upper
stories of the Mutual Life Building in
Nassau street, and after a while found
him. Mr.. Window was getting ready
to take his family to some seaside re.
sort in Massachusetts,, aud he arranged
to give the reporter formal interview
after his return TO town iu few days.
The reporter told his editor what Mr..
Window and he had agreed upon, but
the editor attached so little importance
10 Mr. Window that he told the re-
porter TO drop the thing and not look
alter it any further. So, of course, the
reporter didn't The next thing heard
of Window he was in Indiana making
high protection speeches in behalf Of
Harrison and Morton. A change had
come over the spirit of his dream" He
got his place of Secretary of the Treas
ury through Steve" Elkins. After
Allison had refused to be Secretary of
the Treasury, February, 1880, Harrison
was in fix. He didn't know what to
do, for he had relied on Allison to bal
ance the appointment of Blaine.
Steve" Elkins gave Window a letter
of recommendation and sent him to In.
dianapolis. Harrison read It, talked
with Window and gave him the job 1t
is no Injustice to the Secretary of the
Treasury to say that he has been CRATE
full to Elkins ever since, and has en-
deavored TO show his gratitude in
various ways.
Mr.. Window is short, round. faced,
pnrsy little man, and is, undoubtedly,
the least impressive Secretary of the
Treasury the country ever had, with
the possible exception of Judge William
A. Richardson, now of the Federal
Court of Claims, who was Secretary for
short time under Grant.
