Value of q Slave.

When the slave trade was in full
swing, it was common thing for
merchants on the west coast of AT
RIGA to purchase a cargo OF rum and
tobacco and give slaves in exchange.
The price of a primo slave when
Mungo Park was among the Mandin-
Cos was from to IL minikallies,
the equivalent of l minikalli being
something like tho following: Eight
cen gun tlints, Is leaves of tobacco,
20 charges of gunpowder and cut
lass. Dr.. Livingstone, than whom
no explorer did more to expose the
ravages of the slave raider, says he
never knew of an African parent
selling his own offspring. When on
his first great missionary journey,
he relates how, in a foray among
the Makololos, 30 captives were given
in exchange for three muskets. Liv.
ingstone is especially severe OH the
Beers for looting his mission station
in 1852, killing many of the Bak-
wains and driving nearly 200 of. his
mission children into slavery. The
Beers by so retarding his work and
making him uncomfortable at Kolo-
beng helped to decide him to move
northward, decision upon which
hung the future of modern African
progress. -Chambers journal.

Two Republican State Tickets
Are Almost Certain.
Miller and Platt Factions Are
IrrecOncilabIe.
MILLERITES TO BOLT.
They VIII Put Up Another
State Ticket.
The Situation Gives Marc Han
ma Great Uneasiness.

New York, Aug. 2O.-Undoubtedly
there will be two Republican state tick
cts in the field at the coming election.
The turning down of Warner Miller,
the Herzimer statesman. has precipi-
! tated row upon the Republican party
that can be washed out only by the
elimination of either Plat or Miller.
At the Republican convention, to be
held at Saratoga on August %, the Mil
Ter delegates will either be seated or
bolt the convention.
The convention will consist of 765
delegates. OF this number about $50
delegates, already selected, are for Mr..
Miller. In a large number of counties
there will be contesting delegations,
which will not be recognized by the
Plat machine.
The refusal of the state committee to
consider these delegates as entitled to
seats, and the control of the committee
on credentials by the PIatt men, will
cause a bolt. The Miller people have
declared their intention of fighting to
a finish, and will be allowed to do so.
The refusal of Mare Hanna to recog-
nize in any shape or form the Milhol-
land Miller crowds has forced the fight
to this position. The Nillerites since
the Herkimer man deserted Morton at
St Louis have held that he and not
Plat should direct the campaign in
New York. Mr.. AGiller's falling outside
the breastworks through Hanna's rec
ognition of the PIatt machine, has
caused a breach which cannot be
healed.
The Plat crowd recognize the fact
that Miller and his friends propose to
put up an opposition ticket, and say
they are glad of it. They declare that
the ticket will not receive sufficient
votes to give it standing at the next
following state election They are not
so glad, however, as they profess to be.
To the national committee, however,
the situation is full of danger. With
the Republican forces divided, with the
opportunity to trade the head of the
national ticket for governor and minor
Offices, the national committee see a
chance of losing the state electoral
vote.
The Democratic gold bug ticket is
admitted to be a frost The turning
down of Ex-Governor Flower in JEFF
ferson county has shown the Republi-
can managers that the claim of great
strength made by Whitney, Flower and
Cochran is a myth and any dissatisfac-
ton in Republican ranks is looked up
on with a great amount of apprehen>
sion.
While the Miller crowd declare that
their movements will in no manner lose
the party a single vote for the national
ticket, the national committee under
stand that any local fight is likely to
/ cause Republicans to stay away from
/ the polls: and with the growing silver
/ sentiment in the state the committee
/ can afford to take no chances.
The Miller crowd believe that Hanna
| will call a halt on Platt. and the Platt
| people believe that Hanna will insist
/ that Miller pull of.

BRYAN AT CHURCH PICNIC.
Goes for a Drive and Gets Into One
Visits Gov. HTorton's House.

Upper Red Hook. Aug. 2O.-Yesterday
afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan started
out for a quiet drive over the country.
Several newspaper men went with the
party. 1t ended as usual in a. brass
band hurrah time at Rhinebeck, a
place of ], 200 inhabitants about II miles
from here, where the candidate staid
The party, after leaving Red Hook,
drove by the beautiful residences of the
Astors, Chambers and other wealthy
people until they reached the home Of
Governor Levi P Morton at 'ElIerslte."
The superintendent of the place had re-
ceiVed q. telephone from Governor Nor
toms private secretary, Colonel Ashley
Cole. that Mr. Bryan was noted in the
newspaper as going to El1erSlie, and if
he car7e to show him every attention
possible. The party was conducted
through an immense stock farm and
dairy and the system of sterilizing milk
was displayed. The residence was then
inspected and the party took carriages
and went down to Jason A Rupert s
summer place.
Returning, a stop was made at an
open air church picnic, where the party
was hailed and asked to come in. They
went in, Mr.. Bryan paying 81 for the
party. It was the summer fair of the
Hillside Methodist church. At Rhine
beck half a hundred people were in
waiting when the party alighted.
In a very short time 1t was decided
to give a welcome to the party, and
George Esseline, q Republican, was Sc
lected to welcome Mr.. Bryan in a
purely social way. A brass band played
in front of the hotel, and Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan, having finished supper, received
a number of people on the hotel piazza
A little later Mr.. Bryan appeared on
the hotel balcony and was heartily ap-
pIauded There were cheers when the
silver candidate came to the front of
the balcony to speak.
His speech was practically an appeal
for thoughtful consideration and free
use of the ballot according to con-
science. At the conclusion of the
affair the party went back to Mr.. Per
rims house
