The work Of civilizing Africa goes
steadily on, though There are some
queer phases in the endeavor. For
instance, Boston alone is sending to
that benighted region an average of
700, 900 gallons of rum year. The
rapidity with which the Africans are
absorbing Boston civilization may be
inferred from the fact that the export
of rum to the Gold Coast has increased
to these figures from 251, 900 gallons
in 1889. A few more years of civil
cation, and the great need Of the Gold
Coast Will be a '.gold curen that win
cure.

London has a successful Working
Girls Club, which for the nominal
membership fee Of five shillings a year
offers many recreations and comforts
that could not be hoped for at home,
while in the way of meals is it mucn
more reasonable in its charges than
ordinary lunch resorts could afford to
be. Theclub inquestionwas establish
ed by philanthropy and while that
spirit has not been unmindful of the
working girls in this country, there
would probably be room for similar
organizations here.

sistent particularly that Mr.. Blaine
will, in a few days, publish letter de-
claring that he is not a candidate for
the Presidency, and asking all his
friends to cease the unwarranted use
of his name, or words to that effect.
When Mr.. Blaine publishes this letter
it will be a fiat yindication for Mr.. Rus

both of his esteemed newspapers near
ly year ago that the Secretary would
do this. AT the same time, we hardly

It was Camden whoelected Hon. Chas.

candidacy of Mr.. Camden, announced
at the recent meeting Of the Demo-

both Faulkner and Kenna. Thus is

Of the French expeditions In the interior.

Debating the Army Bill.

BERLIN. Dec. 13.-The general debate on the
Army bill was continued in the Reichstag to-
day. The Saxon Minister OF War spoke
strongly in favor OF the bill. He said his Gov
eminent endorsed it in every particular. and
thus contradicted tho rumors to tho effect
that the King OF Saxony was irreconcilably
opposed to the passing OF the measure.
Rudolf Won Bennigsen. National Liberal
leader. opposed the bill conditionally. 1t could
not be passed unless altered. he said. and no.
body could expect Parliamentary majority
for It as 1t was presented.
August Bebel. Social Democratic leader.
denounced the bill from beginning to end. 1t
and the assurances given to the contrary
should be considered in the light Of the ever
recurring demands OF tho last twenty years.
The so-caled Scharnhorst system was theory
which could never be realized under tho pro-
visions Of tho present bill. The service with
the colors Of every available man could not be
introduced unless appropriations not included
in the present estimates were to be made.
