sTANLEY's QUALITIES AS LEAD
 FIR.

l do not intend to eulogize my old chief, for eu1ogies areseldom conEine- ing. He had many faults, and some of them even very grave ones, but they were, think, chiefly the faults of his qualities, and without those faults he would not probably have been possessed of some of the great qualities which made him so successful in almost ey- erything that he undertook. His faults were never ia mean or petty kind, and were easily forgiven when one saw the true greatness and nobility of his nature beyond. That untiring energy and indomitable resolve to overcome all difficulties that apparently ruthless de- terminaton to sweep away all opposi- tion; his seeming hardness and eallous- ness in working to achieve what he had ! undertaken, If he felt that the end was a good one; the cnriously hard and un- sympathetic attitude he had toward failure Of any kind, no matter how blameless the failure might be all these and many others are not qualities that are usually found in gentle and arniable natures, and they do not as a rule attract sympathy and affection. But they saved the whole expedition from annihilation many q time; they dragged Us out of difficulties which would have overcome an ordinary man; they drew us through places where there seemed to be only death before us and they gained for him the absolute trust and confidence of all those who followed hilIn.
 1 In the early part of the expedition we --Stanley's four officers. Captain Stairs, Captain Nelson, Dr. Parke and my self-did not entirely understand his character, and at first the things that he did seemed to us sometimes to be hard and unnecessary. But as the months went by our estimate of his character changed, for we saw how ab- solutely right and necessary all that he had done had been, and we realized that sometimes 1t was very necessary to do hard things for the safety and pre- servation of an expedition like ours.
 Stanley has often been accused of cruelty, but | Irafi only say that during the. three years we four officers were with him in Africa we never once saw him do a cruel or Wanton thing, or any thing of which our consciences disap- proved "A. IT Mountenay-Jeph in Scrihner's,

rnr eroRrrrrp REFoRMER.

We do not gather from certain brief yet lucid remarks in the Register that the Register is quite ready to charge it's dear old friend the Journal and Courier with being unwilling to bend the pregnant hinges of the knee in humble and sincere worship of Reform and Retormers. We should grieve to have to notice that it was ready to make such a charge, for we should then have to charge the Register with hav- ing 8 devil, and as it has apparently been free from evil obsessiOn for awhile we should hate to believe that it had again been entered into. We hope it has not, and that it will always con- tilue working with us for the uplifting of society both by society notes and ed itorials. It has pleased us to be at one with the Register in good words and good works ever since we and it used to swap type through the alley, and we
 
 do not want to part company now. Re- form. Blessed word and blessed thing! whetherit be Sacred Subway Tavern, a costly and recaIcitrant Police investiga- tion, or an iconoclastic assault on an old State House. Label anything Reform and it draws us. If the Register will put that label on it's scheme to tax Yale or to have Yale tax itself it may be ir- resistible.
 The Register speaks of ''the despised ,reformer," and seems to intimate that there are people even in this town who are low enough to despise reformers. We doubt it, and if we didn't local pride and respect for the strenuous and con tfnuous efforts of the Chamber of Com merce to give the town a good reputa- tion would prevent us from uttering the doubt. Anyhow, to us every man, wo- man or child who is labeled "Reformer'' is glorious and shall by us be glorified now and foreyermore-ifw we are lucky enough to be forevermore where Re- former-worship is not forbidden.

The world isn't going to eternal smash even if ambitious, enterprising and lovely Woman does succeed in showing Man off the pedestal he has so proudly occupied. If she does that all there is for him to do Is to mount another pedestal and look as pleased and proud as he can. Perhaps when
 the time comes he will find some of the
 powerful forces of Nature on his side.
 A hint of what may happen is given
 bS what has happened in Baltimore, where young Matthew Buetefsch, at

 little fellow never handled needle, un- less it was to remove splinters from his fingers, but now he is able to sew, build, and trim hats like a veteran.

 to a near future when fashionable Bal timore Will appoint him it's prophet and arbiter in the millinery field.

about January 1. After the regular army has been supplied with the new rife the arm now in use will be turned over to the various militia organiza- tions. some of which are still equipped with the old-fashioned black-powder Springfield of 45 ca1iber. The new rife 1 is of 80 caliber and it's most interesting feature is the covered barrel, the steel being protected by wooden covering to within two inches of the muzzle. This is considered a great improvement. During the Spanish-American war and the campaign in the Philippines many complaints against the rifle now in use reached the War department. It was found that if the present high-powder- ed arm was fired rapidly the barrel be- came hot enough to take the skin off a soldiers hands, and consequently made cessation in firing necessary in order to permit the steel to cool. There are many other improvements in the new arm-in fact, it may be said that it has no two points in common with the rife now in use.

THE NEGRO IN c UqHRfE POLITICS

There is at least one place in this broad land where the negro seems to be holding his own politically. That Lis Guthrie. Oklahoma. There two ne. groes are on the school board. These two compose the committee on course of study--tl1e most important commit tee on the board. They map out the studies for all the schools. One of them cannot write. Then there are two col- Iored gentlemen in the city, council; two on the police force; a street in- spector who oversees white prisoners doomed to work on the streets; a coun- #ty jailer; a county clerk and deputy; two deputy registers of deeds; three deputy sheriffs; a dog catcher and a city contractor.
 Federal census reports show that the negro population of Guthrie was, at the time the census was taken in 1900, S,036 out of total population of 10,007, or approximately s1 per cent. From the same source it is also, revealed that the negro population of that city is practically three times greater than any other in Oklahoma, The figures show that Oklahoma City's negro pop- ulation was at that time but 1,219, or about F per cent of the total popula- ton. Since that time it is probable that the negro population of Guthrie has increased rather decreased.
 This shows what can be done The negro vote in Guthrie seems to have secured the appreciation due it.

James Le Barre, a Civil war veteran, will walk from Cincinnati to Washing ton this fall in an attempt to vindicate his name of a court-martial charge which keeps him from getting a pen- sion. Le Barre has already made one trip to the capital on the same mission, but a short session of Congress cut his hope short after he had tramped all the way from Cincinnati over country roads covered with snow. Le Barre says the charge of ~desertion booked against him is a mistake and points to the record of his discharge from the 61st Ohio Regiment, Eleventh Army Corps, after the end of the Civil, War. The records show an honorable dis charge, he asserts. Though age has bent his form, Le Barre VOWS he will not give up his fight and will tramp again to Washington to present his claim to the next session of Congress.
