From "Aboui Africa" by J. Scott Rtltle, In FtG
ruary ScribHT.
Livingstone did more, perhaps, than
any other single man TO fl upthe blank
which he found on the map Of Africa at
the beginning OF his thirty years wand
dprings; but he died and left unBotved
the mystery OF that mile.wide river that
swept away northTard past Nyangwe.
The next white man that found himself
standing on the banks OF that mysteri.
ous river at Nyangwe, and wondering
where it went to after it disappeared
among the primeVal forests, was Com
mandeF Cameron. Not lOeg after Cam
eron, in October, 1876, Henry Stanley
and his mongrel band Of dusky
and faithful followers found them.
selves face TO face with the
great problem at this same NyanRwe.
Stanley was not tho man to turn aside
from such a magnificent problem, the
one great mystery that now remained
for solution in the Dark Continent
Readers of his book will remember the
dramatic scene in the hut with his one
white companion, poor Frank Pocock
Six times they tossed rupee, heads Tor
the north and tails for the south and
six time it turned up tails for the south !;
with short aud long straws they were
.duRlly unfortunate. ut is OF no use,
Frank, we will face our destiny in spite.
Of the coin and straws. With your help.
nv dear fellow, 1 will follow the river"
we all know the result. In eight
months after leaving Nyangwe, Stanley
had been able to trace down TO the
Atlantic the course CT the Congo, one of
the greatest rivers Of the world, to plscr
upon tho map OF Africa its most striking
feature a river which is certainly des
tined to play great part in the develop,
ment of whatever resources Contra!
Africa is able to produces.

BARBER COUNTY PLATFORM.

We, the representatives of the Peoples par
ty of Barber county, in delegate convention
assembled hereby heartily endorse the action
of the Cincinnati conference, believing that
the declaration put forth there is one of the
most important events of the century, and we
invite the voters of Barber county to stand
with us for the overthrow of the combinations
of capital which have first forced one party
and then the other, to submit to their selfish
demands.
We present not merely theory. Jefferson
ian or Lincolnian; but like those great states-
men, we ask you to meet the conditions which
confront you, and with their fearless states
menship. Sink or swim, live or die" we have
unfurled our banner for '92, emblazoned with
the battle cry, Equal rights to all, and spe-
c1al privileges to none."
We condemn the action of our state senate
in obstructing reform measures demanded by
the people; and while we could not expect the
house, in a single session, to reform all the
abuses which have grown up under republican
action for the past twenty-five years, we COM
mend them for what they did, and demand
that they shal continue in the good work till
it shall be fully accomplished.
We commend the efforts Of the county OF
GERS to enforce the law, and we believe tn
moral sentiment of the county condemns mock
trials at the expense of the people. We pledge
our candidates to be law abiding men, who will
not wink at crime or corruption, and we pledge
ourselves to ask the resignation of any one
found guilty of the same.
We demand an economical administration OF
national, state and county affairs, and strict
accounting for all money taken from the peo-
pie in the way of taxation, and we denounce
the boasted extravaganza of the recent billion
dollar congress.
We believe that the politics of the past has
become corrupt, and that a change will prove
beneficial and thus believing we invite all
persons who are interested in the welfare of
our state and county to unite with us in our
efforts to bring back the decalOgue into poll
tics. and to prove that purity in politics is not
an iridescent dream.
We commend Judge Mckay for his firm
stand in administering the law without fear or
favor, and we denounce the spirit of dema-
gogy which has attempted to bring him into
reproach.
