Jameson's diary, which has just been pub
lished, is said to be the most interesting
bit of the Stanley expedition literature.
Jameson was a scientist of no mean attain
ments and evidently very observant of
natural phenomena and peculiarities that
Others might overlook. But he positively
denies that he had any share in instigating
the cannibalistic incident, and his wife aud
brother bitterly denounce Stanley for
accusing him Of any such barbarism.
They say that Stanley made Jameson the
scapegoat for difficulties that were merely
the legitimate result of "Stanlev's own
neglect and bad management" Jameson
adds to his statement Of the facts 81
would never have been such beast as to
witness the act Of cannibalism. but was un-
able until the last moment to bring myself
TO believe that it was anything save a ruse
to get money out Of me-" Later on toward
the close Of the century we may ascertain
the actual facts in the case.

fervidly impetuous Irishmen in Kilkenny
threatening devastation, the intervening
American citizen seems in n fair way to get
very little serene sleep. Why not let these
two implacably belligerent elements ''get

each other! 1t would do them both good,
relieve their exuberantly aggressive feel
ings and clear the atmosphere. But there
would be deafening clatter of heads and

me oDeaR0rSnlp or the Next House.
Mr. Chauncey T. Black, of Pennsylvania.
in an interesting article in the New York
World, argues that it would be for the best
interest of the Democratic party to select
the next speaker of congress from the north
ern representatives. The point he makes is
this: The chairmen of nearly all the impor-
tant committees and the other prominent
places on the leading committees will nee
essarily have to go southern men, for the
reason that they have earned them by their
long service, and are best fitted for them.
because their experience has been greater
than that Of the northern represent ltives.
Would it be wise, he asks, under the cir
cumstances to put a southern man in the
speakers chairs
Ii the speaker and the chair
men of committees were southern
men. would not that fact be made
an issue by the republicans in the campaign
of 1892, and would it not be an issue that
could be used in the north with telling effect
against the democratss Mr.. Black seems to
admit that the hest material for speaker is
10 be found among the southern democrats,
bur he thinks that it would be good
policy for the southern democrats not to
urge that fact in the selection of speaker.
since the Craftsmanship of the principal
committees will necessarily have to be given
to southern men.
Mr.. Black thinks that Mr.. Wilson, of
West Virginia, would make satisfactory
speaker His state belongs to the west,
rather than to the south, and he took no
part in the civil war. He is a very able
man, and is popular.
There is, of course, considerable force in
what Mr.. Black says. But after all, is it
not better to ill the places of responsibility
with these best qualified for them! If MIR.
Crisp. for instance, is the best man for
speaker, would not the whole country
respect the democratic majority more
for electing him to that position than for
passing him by for q less capable northern
man, simply for policy's sake2 The ma
jority Of people have greater regard for
straightforward dealing than for course
Of procedure dictated by policy. They are
never deceived by the schemes Of politicians
intended TO influence their course of action.
