The British on Victoria Nyanza.

At the last annual meeting OF the British
East African Company, the President,
Sir WILLIAM MAcKINNoN, spoke OF the
Victoria Nyanza as the point the company
hoped ultimately to reaCh. At that time
Mr.. JACKSON, one OF the company's agents,
was leading caravan Of six hundred men
slowly toward the great lake, stopping now
and then to locate a station on his route
across the broad Nasal plateau. We have
heard since OF the permanent stations he
established ut Naivasha and Baringo,
the two most important points along his
route; and about three months ago the news
came that he had safely reached the east
coast OF Lake Victoria; and now the glad
tidngs have been cabled to England that
JACKSON has made his way along the
northern shore OF the lake. and entered Into
a treaty with MwANaA that has placed the
great country of Uganda under the protec-
ton OF the British East African Company.
BY its charter this company Is distinctly
vested with the power Of acquiring by treaty
the territories on the northeast and northern
shores OF the big lake.
When JACKSON began his journey, nearly
a year ago. his employers did not dare to
hope for this brilliant result Of his enter
prise. The throne OF Uganda was occupied
by KAREMA, the plant tool Of the Arabs. and
hatred OF the English was part Of tho policy
they imposed. But revolution was brew
Ing. MwANGA, with the native Christians
at his back, and with the munitions British
trader had supplied, had begun his SUCCESS
full struggle to regain the throne. When he
wrote for advice to Missionary MAoKAY, as
his forces were encamped on an island with
in sight OF his old home, his faithful friend
sent him word that JACKSON would soon be
at the lake, and that his future fortunes de-
manded that he should make an alliance
with the agent Of the British company. He
accepted the advice, and British influences
now predominate on the coveted northern
shore Of Victoria Nyanza. II the English lose
their present advantage, 1t will BIO the first
time they have surrendered an uncivilized
land once acquired and worth retaining.
In November last this company announced
that material for forty miles Of railway. the
first strand in an iron road to connect Lake
Victoria with the sea, had been shipped from
England. Perhaps brighter days are dawn
ing for the lake regions; and 1t is at least q
spectacle to see EMIN to-day re-
turning to his old province. and the British
established on Victoria Lake, though 1t was
believed few months ago that both these
regions were abandoned for O long time to
come to their native barbarism.

Glen. Butler on Western Farm Mortgages.

ina speeoh at Boston on Thursday last,
Gen. BENJAMIN p. BUTLHB made the aston
ishing assertion that the farm lands of the
Western States alone are now mortgaged to
such degree that the aggregate amounts
to not lees than $3.50, 0o0, 900, or nearly
twenty-five per cent. moro than the whole
Of tho national debt as 1t stood at the close
Of the war In 1865.
We do not know from what statistics Gen.
BUTLER derives his figures, but his estimate
Is vigorously attacked as extravagant and
absurd. The Boston Herald, for instance,
remarks that In its opinion, "as an outside
figure, $500 900, 900, or less than one-han
the sum given by Gen. BUTLER, would fairly
represent indebtedness Of this kind
In the last census Gen. WALKERS esti-
mate OF the value Of all the farm lands OF
the United States was $40, 1877 096 TIC. II Gen.
BUTLER meant TO include In his total OF
mortgage debt on Western farm lands such
States as West Virginia. Kentucky, Ten
nsssee, Mississippi, Texas, and Arkansas,
together with tho States moro commonly
classed as Western, the aggregate census
valuation In 1880 would be So, 497, 49,, 1877. Add
O this tho unknown but great increase OF
value during the ten years since tho census
was taken, and you have present valuation
OF which Gen. BUFFERS estimate OF debt Is
probably not much over forty per cent.
In ono strictly agricultural county.
namely, Upton county in Indiana, gentle
man named FIPPES has recently made an
exhaustive investigation OF the mortgage
records, and he finds that tho total OF such
indebtedness on Jau. /, 1890, was 50, ,435
against $500 14S on jan /, 1885, This is an In
crease OF nearly 200 per cent In ten years
In Upton county. Now, in 1880 the census
valuation OF farm lands In that county was
a, 361, 1888, or less than twice the present
mortgage indebtedness Of the Inhabitants.
Gen. BUFFERS estimate may be excess
eive; the coming census will show whether
II Is or not. Meanwhile, It Is best not to be
too hasty In condemning the conclusions of
so intelligent mathematician and 80 quick |
Witted philosopher.

We observe no signs that the work OF the
House Of Representatives has been simplitied
or accelerated by the adoption Of the new
rules and the establishment Of autocracy In
the Speakers chair.
Apparently the business Of Congress Is
dragging along in the same old way.
The correspondents in Washington are now
telegfaphing predictions that no early ad-
journment Is probable. The session Is likely
to last until August or September, and per-
haps until October Mr.. REED himself Is
reported as expressing his belief that the
prospects Of an all-summer session are
pretty good.
But why need the Congressman despair
who want to get home soon after the glort-
GUS Fourth to look after their fences? The
energetic Speaker may make up his mind at
any moment to prorogue the House.
1t is true that the word prorogue Is not to
be found in the Constitution Of the United
States. but nevertheless it Is in the Un-
abridged Dictionary, and the Hon. THOMAS
BRACKET REED is in the chair.
