A MODEL SAVAGE.

King Khsma Is a model savage, il q
black man who has been thoroughly civ
ilized by European and missionary in
fiuences can still be called one. He Is
IN autocrat Of the best possible type,
whose influence in his country Is entirely
thrown into the scale of virtue for tho
suppression OF vice. Suck a thing AS
theft is unknown in his realm; he will
not allow his subjects to make or drink
beer. Beer is the source of all quar-
rels." he says; IL will stop it." He has
also put a stop 10 the existence OF witch
doctors and their wiles throughout all
the B~amangwato, says the Contemporary
Review.
lie conducts in person services every
Sunday in his large, round kotla, or
place of assembly, standing beneath the
tree of justice and the wide canopy Of
heaven in u truly patriarchial style. He
is keen in the suppression OF all super
stitic' and eats publicly the flesh of the
duykor. IA sort Of roebuck, which was
formerly the totem Of the tribe, and held
as sacred among them twenty years ago.
The late King Sikkome, Khama's father,
would not so much AS step on a duyker
skin, and it is still looked upon with
more veneratiou by his subjects than
Khama would wish.
AS an instance of khama's power aud
Judgment, il is sufficient for us to quote
the sudden change of his capital from
Shoshong To the present sight, P%alapwe.
Shoshong was in u strong position, where
the ~Bamangwato could eifectually protect
themselves from the Matabele raids
under Lobengula, but IL was badly
supplied with water, and In dry seasons
the inhabitants suffered greatly from
drought. The change of capital has been
"A subject discussed for years, but khama
waited quietly until people began TO
think that he was against 1t and would
never move. lie waited, In fact, until
he was sure of British protection, until
he knew that ~L.obengula could not attack
his people at Palapwc without embroiling
himself in a war with England.
Then suddenly one day, now five years
ago, without any PREDATORY warning,
King khama gave orders for the move
and the exodus began on the next day,
aud in two months time $4,000 indi-
viduals were located in their new capital,
sixty miles away from Shoshong. Under
Khama's direction everything was con-
Quoted In the best possible order; every
man was given his allotted ground and
told to build his huts thereon. Not q
single dispute arose and no one would
imagine to-day that only n few years ago
Palapwo was uninhabited.
Khama in manner and appearance is
horOuphly "A gentleman. dipuilicu md
courteous; no wears well-made Euro
pean clothes, n billy,ock hat and gloves;
in his hand he brandishes a dainty cane
aud he pervades% everything in his coun-
try. riding about from point TO point
wherever his presence is required, and IL
he is just a little too much Of a dandy it
is an error in his peculiar case in the
right direction.

Prompt and Brave.

The "Iistorical Records Of the 43d
Light Infantry" that famous regimen.
which played "A most important part in
the English warfare during the last
quarter Of the eighteenth century and
the early part OF the nineteenth. contains
u stirring incident OF prompt action
which ayerted a tragedy.
Worn out with hard marching, the
brigade under Capt. Lloyd approached
the convent at Benevcnte, where the cay
airy and reserve still remained, hoping
for shelter. They were disappointed.
The convent was occupied by several
thousand infantry and the lower galleries
were 50 denseIy packed with the horses
Of cavalry aud artillery that II was
hardly possible for a man 10 make his
way among them.
Two Of the officers stood looking at
the single door that gave ingrcss and
cgress. A sudden cry Of alarm burst
from the lips Of one. ''Look lherel" he
cried, pointing over the backs Of the
horses. At hat moment Que Of the in
side wooden shutters burst into fame.
Horrifcd, the officers looked at the burn
ing shutter and realized the hopelessness
Of the situation. II would be impossible
TO get the 5000 men and horses out,
aud they must stand by and SEQ their
comrades perish miserably. There was no
water near, and il there were, how TO get
at the fire through those denscly crowd
Cd horses
The flames crept upward toward the
rafters.
Good hcayensl Something must be-
DONE" cried Captain Lloyd. And then.
with a motion 70 those outside to be
quiet, the brave captain lcaped on the
back Of the nearest horse, and, stepping
from back 10 back Of the animals. ran 10
the blazing shutter, tore il from It's
hinges, and pitched it from the window.
Then he made his way back 10 the door
in the same way rs before.
so quickly was the act performed that
even the horses were scarcely disturbed.
The building was saved and there was
no panic. which would have been ~ dis
astrous As the flames. The captains eve
brows and moustache were scorched, but
that was all. "And they'll grow again"

the outward voyage from England the
vessel was attacked by a swordf.h,
whose sword penetrated the hull and
broke of as the fish attempted to with

BALLANTINE, Populist Representa-

opposed every measure that would
prove of benefit to the State, and is
noted especially for filibustering tao
tics, now proposes to redeem himself
by giving the surgeons and doctors
a dose of his sentiments in the form
of bill fixing their fees, and he says
he will push it through. This will be
tough on the quacks, who, if not com.
petent practitioners, possess qualii.

The WORLD agrees exactly with
the Weiser Signal IN the following:
Lawson, Of Custer, has introduced
= bill forbidding any State, county OF
precinct officer riding on pass over
any railway. stage or steamboat line.
We think the gentleman is wrong.
He ought to replace his bill with one
directly opposite, compelling every
railway, stage and steamboat line to
issue passes to all State and county
officers for their use when travelling
on official business, for the reasons
given in the Signal three weeks ago.
The holders of the passes, having on
ly that which the law required be
given them as an officer, would be
nor feel any more obligated to the
road or boat than if they had paid
the hard cash.

Nor a paper in the State that we
have seen has advocated the exemp-
ton of mortgages from taxation, but
all, or nearly all, have been emphatic
in demanding such a law. This can
be taken as a sure reflex of the senti-
ment of the people of the State in
this matter; yet, in the face of this
demand, the Senate defeated the
bill, which passed the House. A
Legislature is supposed to carry out
the will of the people the members OF
that body are elected to represent.
There Is no good reason for exempt
ing wealth from taxation.

BARRErr's liquor bill has been
amended in the House, fixing the Ii
cense at $500 per year in a city
where at the last general election
next preceding the date of the appli-
cation for license, the total vote for
Governor exceeded 200, and $500 per
year in all other cities. It is a bad
idea to base the license on the vote
for Governor. In towns having a
little over 200 votes it will be very
easy to induce, by bribery or other
wise, enough voters TO omit to vote
for Governor to keep the total below
2O0e Many would agree not to vote
for Governor, who could not by any
means be induced to refrain from
voting altogether. Therefore the
registration list ought to be the basis.

GOV. MsCONNELL'S VIEWS,


eerning silver.
Governor WIN. j. Mcconnell re.
ceived letter from Senator Stewart
OF Nevada, asking bis opinion as tc
tne average price Of producing an
ounce OF silver, which opinion Sena.
tor Stewart desires to incorporate ia
speech he intends making soon in
the Senate in behalf of the white
metal.
Governor Mcconnell answered the
Nevada Senator's letter, the follow.
ing being copy Of the reply:
Executive DEPARTMENT, Bo1sx
CRY, Ida, Jan. IL, 1S93-HoN.
WILLIAM M. SrEwARr, WAsa1sGroN,
D. c., DEAR SENATOR: l have your
favor of the 11th inst, asking my
views as to the average cost of pro-
ducing an ounce of silver. I have
spent over 80 years in the silver pro-
ducing districts of America, and / be-
lieve that when you place the aver
age price Of production at S1.5O or
~ per ounce you underrate IL.
Among the vast army of miners
and prospectors who have spent their
lives in searching for the precious
white metal, the fewest number of
them have succeeded in taking out
OF the country the amount they
brought with them.
A few bonanza claims have made
and are making splendid showings;
but to-day on almost every hillside,
from Mexico in the south to British
Columbia in the north, are to be found
tunnels and shafts almos: innumera-
BILE which will ever remain as monu-
ments OF the danger of this method
of securing riches.
In the War Department at w ash
ington are recorded the names of the
thousands who have gone out from
time to time to do battle for their
country, and grateful people to-
day, as they should, are paying out
by tie millions the wealth of this ma
tion as tribute for their loyal SER
vices; but no record has been kept
of those who went from the shores of
New England, or the glades of Flori-
da, from every State, city, village and
hamlet in this Union to delve among
the rocky cliffs and canyons of the
far west for the now despised white
metal, which has, in common with
gold, done SO much to place this Un-
ion upon its present pinnacle of great
ness.
Upon every hillside from the Rio
Grand in the South to the Kootenai
and Columbia on the north, are hum
dreds of graves which are void of
even the simple inscription sun
known" In every village and ham
let in America may be found the old
veterans. No grateful country is en-
gagged in building monuments to
their memory, nor are the vaults of
the national treasury opened that
hunger may be kept from their doors,
yet l predict that the time will come
when they will find place in the
grateful hearts of the American peo-
pie, and that history, though late, will
yet record the story of the service
they rendered in building up the
greatest nation on earth.
Very Sincerely Yours,
w. J. MCCONNELL.
