A CHANCE FOR THE CHRISTIAN

It will not be many years before Bel
Congo Free State by some philanthrop.c
humanitarian European rower acting in
the name of Christian civilization Bel
gium is not a powerful nation What 1t
possesses Of territory and independence it
holds upon sufferance, aud if some strong
power made up it's mind to seize upon the
Belgian possessions in Africa, the little
kingdom could offer no resistance and
nothing could save it from spoliation but
the Intervention of some stronger power
Being but buffer" state, erected for the
purpose Of settling boundary disputes be-
tween more powerful neighboring states,
Belgium owes its existence as a separate
nation only to the jealousies of its strong
er neighbors. and If at any time these
neighbors forget their differences long
enough to agree upon the division of Bel
gium, the map of Europe would be slight
ly altered in quick time
But the African possessions of Belgium
way Of appropriation as does the mother
country. The number OF rival powers Of
any Importance in Africa is limited end
their spheres of influence could be ex-
tended without very much difficulty SO as
to absorb the Belgium Congo district,
which is perhaps the richest part of AZ
rica. The fact that it is, to all intents
and purposes, private possession of Leo
pold, king Of the Belgians, is also an in
centive to spoliation, and that some act
looking toward its acquisition by some
European power with colonial ambitions
| is contemplated is suspected from the per-
sistent publication of stories in European
newspapers relating to the misgovernment
and alleged atrocities in the Congo Free
State.
These stories are to the effect that
King Leopolds agent, Maj Lothajre, in
fiicts all manner Of barbarous punish
ments upon the helpless natives In case
they fail to deliver to him the amount Of
| rubber and other products annually de-
manded from them 1t is alleged that

berry and massacre. which incidents ere

"a rising Of the natives If the allega-
tions are true, the official description Of
the occurrences is not inapt, for there
is certainly a rising of some spiritual sort
even for Congo negro, after dying the
death Of martyr. AS an incentive for
| continued exertion, Maj Lothaire Is re-
ported to receive a commission of 20 cents
per kilo for all the rubber he extorts
from the natives. How much commission
or compensation the natives receive Is not
stated
The circulation of these stories is a sure
indication that some kind, Christian pow-
| er intends to intervene to save the poor
| down-trodden and enslaved natives of the
Congo Free State from the tyranny and
extortion of King Leopold and his min
ions The symptoms are always the sam.

PENANcE FOR DrsoOURTBsY.

Youths Companion.
Nicholas l., czar of Russia, was the
type of an absolute aristocrat. The sue
cession of terrible wars which clouded his
reign did not tend to soften his DISPOSE
tion or to render him less imperious. But,
rough and harsh as he was Nicholas had
a measure of chivalry In his disposition.
He would not tolerate. under any cir
cumstances, an insult offered to woman.
AS the car was driving through the
streets of st. Petersburg he caught sight
of an officer of his household I'm the act
OF upsetting an old beggar woman, whose
hands were raised in prayer for aims.
The official was quite unmindful of the
august witness of his act, and was rather
pleased when, few hours later, he was
summoned to the imperial presence.
Nicholas soon undeceived him, and In
the presence of dozen courtiers cut him
to the quick with his indignant reproof.
Enough said Nicholas finally. You
will walk up and down that corridor all
night, and every time you turn you will
say in loud voice. I am a puppyI I
am a puppy"

steyen.on Acceptance.

Washington. July 12.-One OF the
5first results of the nomination OF Stew
Ienson has been the revival of the story
that his letter of acceptance IN 1882 was
written by another man and only
signed by the Illinois statesman, who
subsequently became the vice president
OF the United States. Stevenson had
written no letter at all. During the
progress OF the campaign Mr.. Cleve-
land became greatly frightened over a
srumor that the republicans were rak-
ing up Stevenson's greenback record,
and proposed to appeal to the country
on the danger of having but one life
between the presidency and such rank
financial heresy.
Accordingly, at the particular request
of Cleveland. Chairman Hnrrity sent
George F. aPrker to hunt up Stevenson
and get him to sign a letter of accept
ance, putting himself on record as in ia
vor Of sound money. Parker, 1t is said.
wrote the letter himself and ran down
Stevenson out in West Virginia. The
candidate for wise presidency was only
too glad to secure a hand-me-down LETT
ter OF acceptance. He made no changes
whatever, 1t lie claimed. except to put q
little more ginger into the paragraph
regarding the force" bill, because. az
Stevenson explained innocently. he had
been making campaign on that sub
tect in North Carolina and feltlit should
receive a little more attention.
This incident accounts for the fact
that the stevenson letter Of arlrI, Is Tiss
In 1852 was dated at Charleston, w. Va,
