at about yesterdays figures. There was a
good general demand for hogs. Light weights
were in better request, and prices ruled
stronger to nickel higher. Sales were
largely at s2.75Q2.95 for packers, and at $50
$40 for shippers. Trade in sheep was light
from feeders, who were paying $2.4092.70 for
sheep, and around $3@3.25 for lambs. Both

Ex-senator Washburn Says Silver

CHICAGO, Sept. 1s.-Ex-senator
Washburn, Of Minneapolis, at head
quarters yesterday, stated that Min
nesota would give plurality for Nc
K1nley and Hobart of not less than
10000, and he would not be surprised
If it exceeded 10000. The senator said
that there was no use in trying to dis
gufse the fact that free coinage had
made material progress in the country
districts Of Minnesota, but that, on the
other hand, even the Bryan manage
ment acknowledged that the progress
of sound money in the towns and cities
was more than sufficient to offset the
detection in the country.

AFRICAN MISSIONARIES.
Henry NJ. Stanley Pays Tribute to the
Great Work They Have Done.


Great Work They Have Done.
Twas the only white man during 1876
in equatorial Africa, but in 1877, when
only short distance from the Atlantic,
the first missionaries landed on the east
coast in response to an appeal that had
written in 1875 from Uganda. During
the years from 1879 to 1884 missionaries
followed closely my tracks up the Aon-
60 and as q hundred influences We're IN
the course of few years enlisted III the
cause of Africa, Nyassa Land and the
eastern and southern part of central
Africa began to be studded with Chris
tian missions, and missionaries have con-
tinued to enter Africa ever since, until
now there must be about 800 of them,
and the number is still increasing. They
are not all reputed TO be first class men,
but it is wonderful what earnestnesS and
perseverance will do. We have only to
think of Uganda, with its zoo churches
and cathedral and its $4,000 native
Christians, read the latest official reports
from Nyassa Land, and glance at the
latest map of Africa, to be convinced OF
the zeal, devotion and industry Of the
missionaries.
Mission houses do not grow of them
selves. Gospels are not translated into
African tongues nor are converts spon-
taneous products of human nature. l am
somewhat familiar with African facts,
and TO me these things represent i'm
menSe labor, patience and self sacrifice,
but others expect Africans tofall in love
with the missionary eyes.
1t is true, though strange, that for the
first six years or so very little visible
effect is produced by missionary teach
ing and influence. The mind OF apaGan
descendant of innumerable centuries of
pagans appears TO be for some time i'm
penetrable TO the Christian doctrine, and
no matter how zealously a missionary
NAV strive with him, he continues to
present wooden dullnesS, until by and
by there is CLEAN of interest He
catches the idea, as it We're, and the in
terest becomes infectious and spreads
from family TO family, and converts
multiply rapidly. Cast thy bread upon
the waters, for thou shalt find it after
many days .
have in my mind, as write, the
examples furnished by the Wasanda,
Wanyassa and Bakongo. At the town of
Banza Manteka, for instance, one day
900 natives came to Mr.. Richards, the
missionary, and requested to be bap-
tized by him. He had labored among
them many years, but hitherto converts
had been few. The missionary imposed
conditions on them. He said that they
must first assemble their fet;cheS, idols
and stores of gin, and destroy all in the
market place. And they Went forthwith
