Until Captain Lugards official report reaches
England it will evidently be impossible to ad-
Indicate on the merits Of the Uganda imbroglio.
As Mr.. Smalley suggests in his cable dispatch
the circumstances point to a unique religious
warfare between two bands of African savages
Protestant and Roman Catholic converts, with
English officers and French missionaries as their
respective abettors, and Maxim gun as an
agent of Protestant supremacy. 1t seems clear
that the Protestants have the upper hand; but
although Mwanga, the Catholic leader, is a
notorious rascal, the event is not likely to
excuse Captain Lugard if he is found unwisely

The learned Orientalists who assembled at
Stockholm in 1889 for their Ninth 1nterna-
tional Congress were a little amazed at the
pomp and circumstance with which King Os-
cars enthusiastic officers invested their recep-

preside at the next Congress in Portugal, in
September, possesses, like his father, claims
to genuine scholarship, and the delegates will
find themselves in thoroughly congenial at

embraces an elaborate round of festivities and
excursions, as well as session in SPANS stored
Alhambra. Even if no startling discoveries
are announced. therefore, the tenth Congress
may prove memorably interesting and in

Alexander ana Diorsnes.

It was on June 16 that Alexander the
Great had his noted conversation with
Diogenes. They were both OF a base ball
game that day, Alexander on the grand
stand and Diogenes on the bleachers.
Hello, Gene" shouted the king, who
was always trying to get solid with liter
airy people.
Diogenes coolly watched the descent Of
a foul tip before he replied.
How are you Sandy" he answered at
length, with scant courtesy.
Alexander was not easily to be discour-
aged, however, and, descending from the
grand stand, walked over to where Diog-
enes was sitting and took his stand right
In front Of the philosopher.
What can do for your" inquired the
conqueror, solicitously.
Diogenes deigned no direct reply.
Play bal" he yelled, eyasively.
Cant give you sewer contract or
something" persisted Alexander.
Diogenes wassilent.
"Please let me do something for your"
pleaded the king.
"Well, them" he snarled, "get out OF
my light. That centre fielder is due for a
double play and don't want to lose it,

opinion that It. was billiard cue. / was
standing facing him when he was shot
and would make oath that his hands were

testified were disinterested spectators and
told on the stand what they honestly

in a saloon. Quintan ran out, followed by
O'Dell, who kept shooting. Some thought
one shot was fired in the saloon, others
thought three, yet all were looking right

After few moments Of mute despair

A STRAINED CONCLUSION.

B. P. Wagner, general attorney for
the Missouri Pacific, says the Topeka
Democrat, makes no hesitancy in saying
that the suit brought by District Attorney
ADV to dissolve the Western Ttrffic asso-
citation, is purely political move, the
purpose Of which does not appear upon
the surface, but will probably appear to
the most unsophisticated before the suit
goes through the courts. 1t is certainly
a move in political economy, and one
that affects the entire community. But
if Mr.. Wagner thinks there is any par
tisanship in it we pity his stupidity. The
idea would imply that the suit is a
recent conception, whereas the district
attorney has been at work making up
the case for nearly two years. The at
torney for the railroads may hope 20
break the force of Mr.. Ady's arraign-
ment by creating an adverse sentiment
in certain quarters, but it is too gauzy to
wash. The people who have been bur-
dened by the oppressive exactions of the
great combine will back Mr. Ady in his
efforts in their behalf without regard to
partisan bias, because everybody knows
that the success of the undertaking
means relief to all, in view of which fact
it will be mighty hard to convince any
sane person that there is anything of
political partisanship in it.

NOT SATISFACTORY.

Some of the more unctious southerners
are not satisfied that the CHILEAN matter
shall be settled on the basis of the pend
ing proposition of Chill. The New Or
leans Times-Democrat, speaking of the
affair, says that the withdrawal of the
offensive Malta note and apology there
for, and the withdrawal Of the petulant
request for the recall of Minister Egan,
is satisfactory enough as far as it goes;
but when beyond this it proceeds to sug-
gest that the affair of the outrageous at
tack on the Baltimore sailors in Valpa-
raise shall be either referred to the arbi-
tration of neutral nation or submitted
10 the decigion of the supreme court of
the United States-tlattering as the last
mentioned term of the two alternatives
may be, it will altogether fail to meet
the sentiment of the American people
which has been evoked by ChiliS inso-
lent attitude toward America.
Cor" continues the Times-Democrat,
mot only have our sailors been subject
ed to mmderous assaults in the streets
of Valparaiso, in which two of them
lost their lives and score of them were
badly wounded, but 10 sailors have
for three or four months been able to
go ashore from American ships in their
harborS without being met by yolleys
of Kisses and hootings from
the CHILEAN sailors and populace and
being subjected to other indignities. Not
only has the right of asylum which our
minister claimed to give to CHILEAN refu-
gees who took refugeIn the CHILEAN lega-
ton been called in question, but the
minister himself has been vituperated as
if he were pickpocket. and denounced
as if he were felon. And a system of
close and iucessant espionage has been
kept up over his residence ever since the
end of the war, which has wrought him
continual personal annoyance. inconven-
fence and apprehension, and which has
been an offense and an outrage TO the
dignity of she United States as repre-
Sented in her munster"
For these reasons and number OF
others it enumerateS, the Times Demo
crat insists that the United States gov
ernment should insist on something fur
Their coming from Chill before the pro-
poSal of arbitration is agreed to. And it
cannot be denied that a great many
people throughout the country feel just
as the New Orleans editor does.

Those Wichita People.

From the Hazleton Express.
If Editor Murdoch of the Wichita EAGLE
runs for governor, Topeka people will kick
through fear that, if he is elected, he will Sc
cure and use points of advantage in the matter
Of booming Wichita against Topeka. Then
there are whole lots of settlers in Wichita who
would kick because Mr. Murdoch would be of
more benefit to Wichita and her legitimate
surrounding territory if he uses his wits in
steering the city ship of the Arkansas valley
instead of the ship of state. Wichita people
are selfish in a certain direction, and the town
is big enough that they don't care who knows
it. If a Republican anti-prohibtionisti is to be
governor, Mr.. Murdoch is both unquestOnably.
and as he is well known as a hard hitter, his
election would likely be bad setback to the
temperance cause. That's our main objection
TO him
