AFRiCA'S HIGHEST POINT.
snow-Capped Mountain Peak Under a

When the scientific world laughed at
the humble missionary Rebmann, who
reported over forty years ago that nc
had found q snow-crOwned mountain

the history of modern discovery in Cen
tral Africa. and it is only within the
tails of Dr. Hans Meyers final triumph

dome had defeated tho efforts of a num-
Der Of explorers.
Rebmann would have felt repaid for all
the ridicule that was showered upon him
II he could have seen DR.. Meyers COM

his ice-axe and rope and snow spectacles,
cutting steps up the steep ICY slope.
Both climbers paused TO rest every ten
minutes, because the rarity of the air
made continuous effort impossible. In
these periods of rest they could dinly
soc tho fsr-distant plains through the
openings in the clouds below them.
Then, when on their second attempt.
three days after their first effort, they
reached the highest point in Africa.

be found there until Meyer stood on It's

FARMERS AGAINST RAILROAD EN-

The Post yesterday commented upon the self
ishness Of the farmers and their candidates for
office in sustaining the shameful policy OF the
state in carrying on manufactures with convict
labor and selling the articles manufactured at
prices with which honest labor cannot compete.
Every man who supports such policy is guilty
foreign labor, but what Is 1t compared to the in
famous policy of the state of Texas in using con-
Wet labor to destroy the honest trade of its own
mechanics? The only reply is that 1.-THE farmers
want cheap wagons, and mechanics be damned,
so long as get Them OF q piece of this
selfshness, this agrarianism, this communism,
is the war by the farmers and their Candidates
upon railroads. Their cry is that theY-the
farmers-must have cheap freight rates regard
road employees are discharged and no matter
how much the wages OF those retained are
duced. Houston is essentially city of me-
chanics and railroad men, and they should con-
slider W ell whether they can afford to sustain by
their votes the demands OF the Farmers Alliance
and their candidate for governor, MI. Hogg.-
Houston Post
The above, head lines and all, demon
strate how desperate Is the chance of
Judge Cook for carrying his own county,
Houston has large railroad population
and the object of the Cook men, who are
God IS own anointed personal liberty de-
Tenders, is to delude the railroad en-
ploye with the argument of wages re.
duoed unless he sells his political soul with
his brain and body. The whole cam
paign against "Hogg and commission
is one of political bulldozing. The
people are threatened with the flight OF
capital and railroads from Texas, the
conventions are threatened with bolts,
and now the railroad employees are
threatened with reduction of wages.
Why not allow Texas people, mer-
chants, farmers and railroad employees,
a modicum of that personal liberty Of
which Judge Cook pirates SO glibly? Why
not let the people vote as they will with
out all this buldozing? Judge Cook,
must, indeed, be hard pressed for votes
in his own county, when the Post emits
such appeals as the above.
