A Much Travelled I1ishman.


'Tis twelve months Stree came to America

The great sights av this ceunthry for to see.''
And sure ne uncle didn't need to urge me much
For Thravelin' is q trick that Just suits me-
So I've thraveled over all this moighty nation
From north to south and ircm the east to west
I've thraveled both On land and en- the wather,
But shure the railroad thravelin suits Inc best.
And of all the fine raj roads in America,
And mesel II sure has thraveled on them ALL
The one that hends the list fer solid comfort
Is the CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE l. ST PAUL.
Both for attn and for dlrinkn' md for shls, in,
Their equipmen Is most costly and cou,p,.te.
There Is sphleHdcr enough for old King solomon.
And dali ties for his thousand wives to ate.
OF I've thraveled ell Up and down America
The railroads aud the shteanlboats trie them ALL
But there's nothing can compare in solid comfort
With the CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE & ST. PAUL.

THE END OF THE UGANDA CON
TROVERSY.
spectator, l0h Sept

kRPoCtWLOTf lOtW O6pt,J
The long expected report from CAPTAIN I'm.
gard closes the controversy as to the action Of
the East Africa Company and it's agents in
regard to the affairs of Uganda. 10 bo@in w;tb
1t IS clear from his report that the assertion
that he f%avoured the Professionals and Dorsocnt-
ed the Catholics is quite untrue. AS a matter
Of fact, he desired to favour neither nartv
out wished to steer an even keel among the
various political, religious, and racial intri-
CUES which are rife in Uganda. He was. be.
fore all things, a servant of the East Africa
Company, and his object, as may be imagined
was, while supporting the authority aud in
tluence OF the Company, to maintain the status
quo, A trading company object is not to
persecute Catholics or TO press Professionalism
on unwilling natives, but to pay five per cent.
and develop Its territory, and this was clearly
the splrltl IN which Captain Lugari approach
ed his task. He wished not only to keen
Mwanga on his throne, whatever that
potentate,s religious views, but to prevent an
outbreak between the Catholic and Protestant
parties tor he was well aware that such an
outbreak would De the most serious blow that
the Company could receive. No doubt the
Protestant party, had, before Captain Lugard
came to Uganda, become the English partv
and no doubt, also, the English party
supported the Company; but this was
due not to any favouritism on the part Of
Captain Lugard, but because the Catholic and
French party adopted a line of direct hostility
to the Company. II spite of this, however,
Captain Lugard did his very best to prevent
the identification of the Professionals with the
Company,s adherents. Indeed, so steadily
did he refrain from showing the English mis-
slonarles any favour, that he was repeatedly
accused by them of Stumbling the Protes-
tants" and of allowing them to be ~.trampled
upon by the Catholics. 1t was only when
the Catholic party insisted upon attacking the

which takes the form Of a letter accepting

being as good as any other dollar; but he is
