End OF the Colouel's G ,mpaign.

Col. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYANs weeks

Hoarse. but happy In the knowledge that
he holds he cumulative record for spout

and to wait for the harvest OF his tolls He
has wept at Weeping Water over imperialism
and the Money Power. He has shot at the
Octopus ir Broken Bow and missed him. He
has wandered in the dark and all but bathed
his eloquent lips in the shallow and muddy
Platte. He has talked the candles out In
Holdrege. In the very heat and fury OF
his discourse at Ravenna, the ice has
formed in pitcher placed on his desk for
refreshmpnt OF the eloquent lips. He has
been tipped over. and thrown out OF his
carriage. But he loves hardship. That is
the reason he resigned from the army.
We should say that the Colonel had been
thoroughly perturbed by the unfortunate
prosperity Of his State and the en-
thusiasm OF the Republicans. were 1t not
that perturbation Ia his normal condition.
A man who never travels without a crisis
is bound to he perturbed. Besides, the
Colonel trembles for the Declaration OF
Independence. Very unnecessarily, for II
the cohorts OF imperialism trample on that

is believed to have double the population
OF that State. The British are rapidly
building their railroad from the Indian
Ocean to Victoria Nyanza and 1t Is now
about half completed. The same con-
siderations that induced this enterprise
impel the building Of the neighboring
German line. The two leading questions
rclatingto Africa are no longer problemati-
cal, for the experience and study OF a quarter
OF O. century have affirmed definitely that
it will pay to develop Africa and to build
railroads.
No one dreamed, few years ago, OF the
activity in railroad building which the last
years of this century have witnessed. To
say nothing of the rapid development OF
railroads IN civilized north and south
Africa, there are now In operation or under
construction between the tropics twelve
lines of railroad leading from the seacoasts
to the interior. Besides these enterprises
In tropical Africa, there arc the north and
south roads. such as the three Algerian
lines pushing to or into the Sahara, all Of
them to be feeders Of the future Trans
Saharan line; the road up the Nile, which
hns crossed the Atbara River OH an Ameri' an
bridge and is now approaching Khartoum;
and the line extending north from Bulu-
wayo to Salisbury, which is to be another
link In the road that is to join South Africa
with the Mediterranean.
The day OF the camel caravans and hui
man portage is passing. The &c. 700 black
carriers in the cataract region Of the Congo
have given place to freight cars. At
twelve points along the tropical coast rail
roads now supplant the old trade routes for
a considerable distance inland. Tho iron
rails are coming nearer every day to
the holy city OF Harar. which few
years ago no infidel had ever entered except
in disguise. The railroad is following the
telegraph line to the capital OF King
MENELEK, and while the Nile road will
cross tho Mahdist territory north and
south, the line now building from Suakim
TO Bcrber will cross IL from cast to west.
Thus the era Of the pioneer explorer has
given place to the brighter day OF the rail-
road, making all progress possible by
bringing even the far interior Of Africa into
close touch with the rest Of the world.
