 The capital of Rhodesia is Salisbury, town already claiming considerab ble pretensions. It is pleasantly situated near the eastern slope of the Fura noun tains and is in touch with the world by means of the telegraph wire. There are other towns and numerous mining camps in the new state. The country is mostly high and undulating, and tho climate, though tropical, is much tenn pered by this circumstance, and no valid reason exists why white man should not enjoy as perfect health in Rhodesia as in any other part of South Africa. Game in every variety peculiar to Africa may be found in this region.
 While South Africa offers rare in- 'lucement for farming and stock raising his fact alone could never have led to the phenomenal development of a coun- try so remote and little known to the world.
 The discovery of the fabulous dia- mond deposits in Griqualand west, back in the early '7Os, thrilled the world and brought to the scene armies of hardy, adventurous men from every quarter thereof. But when hundreds of square miles of ground had been overturned and searched, and the spark ling gems had been traced to the parent mine, where Kimberley has since sprung up, many disappointed miners organ izcd prospecting parties and moved to the north.
 No more diamonds were found, but soon rich discoveries of gold were reported. These were principally lo- cated within the territory of the Boer state, the Transvaal republic. Being a long distance from the seaboard, and no other mode of transportation for food supplies or machinery than by the slow OK team, these new gold mines were somewhat slow in develop ment. But capital was soon attracted, and the construction of railroads be- gan. Now these gold fields are reached by rail both from Cape Town and Natal; and Johannesburg, the seat of the principal mining industry, which ten years ago was desert waste, is now fourishing city of more than 5o,' 900 inhabitants, and her adjacent mines are yielding an output of aaout 5000, 900 worth of gold per month. But the thirst for gold is unsuitable; still northward, with rife and pick, the prospector has pressed, following the enchanted lead through parchcd desert and across mountain range, into | Mashonaland and Matabele, where it is declared the true and original Eldo- rado has been found. That most mar vicious deposits of gold have been located in this region there is no deny. ing; but the actual yielding capacity ot these discoveries cannot be estimated until proper mining machinery has been brought to operate upon them. At all events the new discoveries have been tine means of giving to the world of nations new state, Rhodesia.

vestige of that ancient civilization van- ished from the earth, and the place which knew it became the theater of the most groveling and stubborn igno- rance and barbarism within the entire dominion of the Dark Continent"
 But in the dispenSation of human affairs it would seem that a wise and , benefcent Providence had fairly com .pensated for the loss of this early civil ization in the north by giving birth to one more modern and vigorous and of the continent, and which is now making rapid strides northward.
 From the establishment of Cape Col ony by Great Britain in the early part of this century, modern civilization in Africa may be said to date. The terri tory of the original Cape Colony was small ih area, and many years elapsed before any perceptible progress had been made. But British pluck and en- terprise are not easily daunted; and slowly, step by step, these sturdy pio- neers penetrated the surrounding will derness, teeming with savage beasts, and yet more savage tribes of men, and began the task of subduipg both The hand of friendship was ever ex- tended to native rulers which, it is sad to say, was less frequently accepted than rejected.
 In the latter case the native ruler was summarily thrashcd into subjec- tion, given a scarlet coat and an annu- ity of rum and tobacco, which never failed to insure his friendship for life.
 It was thus, from a small and discour- aging beginning, that large and prom, ising country has been opened to the world, one which will afford happy homes for millions yet unborn.
 South Africa proper may be defined as extending from Cape Agulhas and Algoa bay, in the south, to the Zam- besi river, in the north, and from Cape Eric, in the west, to the delta of the Zambesi, in the cast This territory embraces an area of over 1,SOO,00O square miles. While many native tribes still roam in portions of this vast terri tory, they all acknowledge allegiance to some civilized power, and all the worst types of barbarism have disap- peared. The British flag is the emblem of authority over the greater portion of this country. Germany has strip along the west coast, while for many years Portugal has had nominal con trol over a considerable territory along the east coast, including the Zambesi

 Increase under free trade de..........sl3l I64, 73O During the twenty-seven years of republican protection the average an- nual decrease in the interest bearing debt of the country was S64, TIA, ,ss4. During the last two years of demo- cratic free trade administration the average annual increase in the inter est bearing debt of the United States was S65, 5sa, ,365.
 This comparative record shows two things-the business character of re- publican legislation and financiering, and the superiority of the protective policy. Despite all the arguments of the democrats in favor of the policy of favoring foreign manufacturers and foreign workingmen to the detriment of our own, there is no voter of the United States, among the working class, who has felt the pinch of the business depression of the past two years, who would not sooner to-day have the prosperous times of 1891 and 1892 under protective tariff than the hard times since June, 1893, with the Wilson tariff.

THE NATIONAL DEBT.
It Has Steadily Increased Under Demo-
 cratic Management.

cratlc mhn3gemenU'
 The Blade has often adverted to the chronic iVcapacity of the democratic party to legislnte in business way on national finances. Following the theories of doctrinaires rather than availing itself of our own experience in the past, or that of other nations, it has never been placed in power that it did not make muddle of the na- tion's finances.
 The republican party, on the other hand, has always struck out clear, business-like lines of policy First, it adopted the proper legislation to bring in enough revenue for the needs of the government, and some thing be- sides to meet the bonded debt; then it used this surplus in paying the debt.
 After the close of the war, with its enormous expenses, the history of republican administrations, or of ad- ministrations which were compelled to conduct the affairs of the govern ment under legislation enacted by re- publican congresses, is record of full treasury, of a steady reduction of the public debt, and of refunding it at lower rates so as to tighten the annual interest burden by many mil lions
 The record of the two years of democratic administration under dem- ocratic revenue legislation shows that the democratic revenue law fails to raise enough money for the actual pf tho crnuarp,nant. 4hnt necessary to borrow money, thus in- creasing the national debt and adding to the yearly interest burden.
 The republican record stands thus: During the twenty-seven years of re- publican administration, which af- forded protection to American labor and industries, from 1866 to 1892, tho interest bearing debt of the United States was decreased by Sl,747, 30l, ,s7s, the account standing as follows at the two periods:
