In Darkest Africa.

The darkest feature Of Stanlcy's Emin
relief expedition does not appear in his
account Of the expedition as given in his
book, lin Darkest Africa" but is COM
ing out in a newspaper controversy be-
tween Stanley and his surviving heutcn-
5aats, Mr. Bonney and Mr.. Barttelot, the
brother of Mnjor Barttelo:. who was
killed while in comm md Of Stanlsy 5
reargsard According to Stanley and
Bonneg. Major Barttelot was perfect
iend in human shape Contrary to
SANKEY'S orders he kept the rearguards
at Yambuya tia numbers of his men died
of starvation. he treated the natives with
the utmost insolenee and with a cruelty
impossible to understand, except on the
ground Of insanity. 4 man kicked to
death. another logged to death, others
brutally shot, are only SEINE of the
charges brought, aud practically proven,
against Major Bartielot, while on what
was supposed to be an errand of mercy.
The stories are denied by MIR. Barttalot,
but the Majors death, at the hands Of
an angry chief, whose wife he had bea'-
en-, is strongly confrmatory of the truth

brown, of Georgia.

With the retirement of Senator JOS
eph Emerson Brown, of Georgia, at the
close of his present term, in March, 1891
drops out of publ, lie another Of the
strong characters Of the civil war Sen
ator Brown is not so very aged. having
been born in 1921. lie is not so old
by considerable as either Gladstone or
Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Senators
DExes, Evurts, Morrill, and Others are
several years older than joe Brown.
But Senator Brown has had way of
looking about 80 or 80 years old nearly
ever since he became United States
Senator, and may be feels as old as he
looks.
Men with war memories will recall
how fiery a sccessionst he was. how
"Goveraor Browns militia" we're almost
the only troops that opposed Sherman on
his march to the sea Those with more
modern memories will remember always
how saergetically Governor Brown
worked Scr the extension of Georgia rail-

Mr.. Reeds Successor.

The crop Of wonld be Speakers of the
next House Of Representatives is already
large and still growing Mr. Mills. OF
Texas, father Of the Mills tariff bill, is
the most prominent candidate. Others
are Messrs. Bynum, of Indiana, Hatch

Adhiring friends have also mentioned as
proper persons for the position Messrs
Compton, of Maryland, McMillen. Of
Tennessee, Lockwood, of New York,
Springer, of ILLINOIS, and Wilson, Of
West Virginia. As the Northern and
Western Democrats will have a majority
in the party cau'us it is not probable
shat any Southern member will be made

perhaps in favor of Hatch, of Missouri

A Compressed Air Motor.

II may be that the next general mo.
tive power Of the world will no. be elcc.
tricity, but merely common air. com.
pressed air. In France there is already
railway in operation whose trains are
thus propelled. In the French car stor-
aye tanks o. compressed air arc carried
When they are exhausted they are taken
out at The stations along the way and re-
placed by other filled tanks Thus the
car runs by a method somewhat similar
to that employed by the storage electri-
cll batteries
In New York, however, an inventor
believes he has perfected an air empress
or which flls itself as the EAR goes on. -
The compressor is upon the ear. The
inventor claims that by he motion Of the
car the air is carried iuto the tank which
automatically congresses it, and that
when once started it can go on forever
without stopping. The car must FIRST be
started by horses, but after it has been
pulled some thirty feet the compressor
becomes filled and is at work, and will
thereafter meet the acquisitions of this
air motor unaided.
A steam injector takes steam from a
boiler, and uses it to again throw water
into the boiler. BY principe similar
to this the air motor is supposed to work.
Anything that promises to release horses
from the streets of city is worth care

Organization is the Farmer, Hone

1t Is through organization alone that
the farmer can secure bis rights and pre-
serve his liberty. il is through organi-
zatIon ameng the farming classes alone
that this republic can hope to endure. =
II is startling fact that one-fourth Of
our population is now in cities Of over
eight thousand inhabitants tis1 sf:il
more startling flct that the city p pull :
ton IS continually on the increase and
the rural population is continually ON
the decrease. The natural influence Of
the city Is bad. 1t is in the city that
hungry po'crty is found, and hungry
stomach IS menace to the peace and
safety Of society; it is 10 the city that
crime is fostered, aud chine means dan
ger TO a system Of government like ours;
Il is in tue city that anarchy thrives; and
let it be known and fully understood
that in consequence Of the rapid increase
Of city population and the thievish pro-
pensi'les Of concentrated capital our civ
illzation is approaching a crisis. Ttis
republic cannot exist under the present
conditions and their tendencies. Popu-
lar government in cities is a failure, and
the best minds of the county are eneag-
ed to-day in the effort to solve the ques-
ton of how cities can be successfully
governed. But if they cannot govern
themselves they cannot govern tie ma
ton, but they are given the power TO do
it. The handspring of all government in
ths nation, outside Of rural local govern
ment, is in the city, with its rum shops
and vice and ignorance and brutality
And there is only one solution of the
problem Of how to divorce government
from the influences Of the political and
social degradation Of the city. 1t ia for
farmers to organize aud counteract con-
Eliminating and vicious combination with
patriotic and virtuous combination. 1t
is for the sixty per cent of our voting
population which is on our farms-to
take control Of the various pol.tica! par
tics, old and new, and form their poll
cies and give direction to their enc 'gies.
II we did not believe that such -organiza-
ton would yet be completely effected we
would give up the struggle for the es-
adjustment Of the right between man
and man and class and class, for we can
see no other way of getting out of the
woods Organization has gone steadily
forward since the convention of farmers
in Chicago that organized tho Farmers
Alliance ten years ago. Sometimes the
interest has appeared to slacken little,
but such periods Of apathy have been
followed by greater activity than ever.
and upon the whole there has been
greater average activity each succeeding
year. Organization has never been so
active as now. From all parts Of the
country the work is going on with some
thing Of the spirit of boom.

Growing Opposition to Bosslsm.

Even now before the smoke Of the 20
htical battle which has just been Tough
has cleared away, preparations are bcin,
made and plans are being devised 70
smother struggle in this State Th
contest for supremacy in the Gubernato
rial numn lting convcntyfi Of the dom
nant PARTY bids fair to be equal in ii
desperate earncstness, as that waged be
tween Re publican and Democratic nom
inees at the election Just passed. Not.
outstanding the prominence in national
politics that Senator German has
achieved, not so much on account oil
ability as BY his force Of will, there is
still in this State a strong and determine
ell opposition to him and bis methods
aud that opposition is already cropping
out in The expressions of prominent and
able men wio have fought him in the
past. Ez. Mayor Hodges is the choice
Of Senator German for the Democratic
nomination for Governor. and what is
his will is the will Of those who wear his
collar throughout the State, and the
word has been passe along the line that
lIodkxsis to be the nm. In the past
the astute Senator had but to make
known bis will and any man he desired
would be selected as the nominee of a
Democratic Convention. But, in the
very recent past, there has arisen 10 the
political armament another s.ar which
bids fair to disarrlnge the plans which
the Senator may make. That star is
tie Farmers Alliance" AMI one Of its
principles is unalterable opposition to
professional politicians With that as
starting point this new element which
displayed its power TO the conservation
Of the professional politicians at the re
cent election, will oppose the dictation
Of Mr. German AMI will support some
man of ability identified with the farm
er's interests rather than man chosen
by ring dominated over by one whose
whole life has been that of professional
politician Exp )stnaster Brown, who
10 progressive and practical farmer
thoroughly identified With the agricultu-
raj interests Of the State is a candidate
for Guberuatorial honors, but he is not
the choice Of the ring and will be bitter
Jy opposed by it, but he is entirely sat
isfactory 10 the Farmers Alliance and
will receive the cordial support Of the
Independent Democrats. The contest
Between the ring and those opposed to
wearing the collar Of a political boss
will be one of the severest that has taken
place in the State for many years, for
