river a writer tells in Golden DagS

f7st visitor was Paul Imbert. a French
sailor who jn 1880 was shipwrecked
on the African coast.fell into the hands
of the Arabs and was carried to Tim
buctoo as a slave. He died in bond
ace leaving mo record of his expe-
riences. IN 1925 Mai Laing, an Eng-
Hshman commissioned to explore the
Nicer river, crossed the desert from
Trfpoi, reached Timbuctoo in 1926
and was there murdered, leaving no
record Of his visit.
Nothing daunted, Rene Caille, an
adventurous Frenchman, in 1898
started from Senogambia to explore
the secrets of the mysterious city. He
learned Arabic and the customs of the
Arabs, and in the guise of pilgrim

the city remained isolated rs before
until Dr. Oscar LEM, another German

Senator Aldrich in his recent sreech
denied that the Mckinley Tariff law was
the result of a bargain between the fat
fryers and the Republicans, and says;
THE intention Of the party in regard
to the tariff was known TO the country
lcng before the campaign was opened,
and was set forth in Its Platform"
When the people voted for the Reprb-
licans in 1883. they did so under prom
Use Of tariff reform. but they had no idea
that their burdens OF taxation, instead
Of being iessened, would be increased.
And II this were not done in accordance
with an express contract between the
Radical leaders and the monopolists, It
was certainly done with the knowledge
that 1T would enable the Republican party
to exact heavy campaign contributions
from the few wealthy classes who would
be benefited thereby.
