that marked advancement Is being

on that? If so, state it; and state it
plainly. In their national platform for
1882 the Democratic party expressly
pledged itself against child labor in
factories. Fifteen years was the age
limit fixed. Yet all over the South
where the Democratic party is SUI
preme, child labor is as fixed as AZ
rican slavery ever was. Children un-
der Is, under IA, under u and some
times under 10 slave their little lives
out, amid pestilential vapors and bru-
talizing conditions which are a shame
and a scandal to Georgia, South Car
DINA and other Democratic states. In
spite of all the efforts of the labor
leaders in those states, they have been
utterly unable to get the Democratic
party to respect their platform pledge
in behalf of the helpless boys and
girls of the South.
The Negro Question.
"They contend that there is a diff
ference between Roosevelt and Parker
on the negro question. Has Parker
stated what dt is? Time is passing
swiftly, now, and, so far as I know.
he has not defined the difference be-
tween himself and Roosevelt on the
negro question. He is the man to do
it-not irresponsible editors and SPELL
binders.
THE dear old South has been
sWindled and hoo-dooed on this ne
gro question so long that /, for one,
would feel like hugging Alton B. Par
ker If he will but lift the embargo
on his tongue and tell us wherein he
ditters from Theodore on this African
riddle.
"As to the money question which
the Democrats declared to be para
mount, no one will now contend that
any practical difference exists between
Roosevelt and Parker.
why He COmbats Them.
During this campaign I combat
Roosevelt as an open enemy to the
principles in which / believe / COM
bat Parker as a false pretense, a
dodger, a trimmer a man who really
believes in the same things that Roose-
Welt does. but who has not the man
hood to declare openly for them, and
who is willing to get, If he can, the
votes Of those who would never sup
port him If he were to say in plain
English just what his convictions are.
/ have no fear Of Republican princi-
pies dominating the South as long
as they are called Republican. What
l dread is the stealthy inroad of Re-
publican principles covered by the
Democratic name. The open foe we
know how and when to combat. He
will give you a fair fight in an open
field. But the stealthy foe, who creeps
upon you, pretending to be a friend,
seeking the point OF advantage from
which he can stab you to the vitals-
he is the foe to be dreaded And IL
is this stealthy disguised Republican,
ism coming into the South under the
name Of Democracy, which am com
batting with all my strength. The
men who are now leading the Demo-
cratic party do not want the success
of Democratic principles. They want
the success of Republican principles.
As to popular sovereignty they are
loudest for it, But what they want
is a sovereignty of the corporations,
Of the privileged few, Of the greedy
benefciaries OF class legislation"

hanging on its very lip, and only aces
sible at low water, which were used
by the Batoka tribe as royal sanctua-
ries and places for worship of the
"barimo" or gods. (the rainbow when
seen in the sky being called by the ma
tives "motse GA barimo," that is. the
Pestle of the Gods), until these fierce
lords of the isles were expelled by Liv-
lngstone's friend, the chieftain Sebi-
tuane.
The chaSm was opened by some prl-
mordial cataclySm in black basaltic
rock of such extreme hardness that in
most places the edges still remain
clear and sharp. In dts depths the de-
scending waters is forced to turn
sharply upon itself at right angles to
its former course, flowing in opposite
directions from the two extremities
until 1t finds an outlet at about one
third the distance from the eastern
end. The direction of the river lust
above the falls, where it is one mile
and 165 yards wide is from north to
south while at the foot of the de-
clivity it. is chiefly from west to east,
but partly from east to west. The two
opposing currents meet at the mouth
of a narrow gorge less than fifty yards
wide, within which they form what
is called THE Boiling Pot" From this
gorge the river passes to a second
chasm nearly the same length as the
first, but running in a direction be-
tween west and southwest. BY a
series of similar gorges in a zigzag
arran gement the water passes back
and forth from west to east and from
east to west several times for a dis
lance of twenty miles.
The water passing over the Falls
during the most favorable season is
estimated to have motor-force of
35.Oo0,OO0 (thirty-fve million) horse
power.
The great Continental railroad that
is to run the whole length of Africa
from Capetown to Cairo, and will
doubtless be one of the most important
highways of commerce in the world,
has already been completed as far as
the Falls, and the Zambesi gorge just
below the Boiling Pot in to be crossed
on the highest bridge ever constructed,
work upon which has already been
begun. This Victoria Falls bridge is
$50 feet long, weighs two thousand
tons, and has a main span of $50 feet.
