A Story Fresh From Darkest Africa.

a Story Fresh From Darkest Africa
The death recently at Zanzibar OF an
old man of seventy whom the explore,
Stanley called the finest gentleman
he met among the Arabs Of the dark
continent has been followed by the
publication Of the true story Of the
most striking character to be met In
all the literature of African exDlora-
ton. This was Hamidi bin Muham.
mad, or Tippoo lib. The character of
the man is best shown by the origin
| OF his nickname. One of Hamidi's
earliest exploits was the raiding of a
wild tribe with shotguns, a weapon
new to the natives The noise Of the
guns they initiated as "tip, tip" and
the name spread all over the interior
Of Africa as the cognomen of the pow
erful Arab trader with whom the tray-
elers from Cameron to Stanley were
obliged to make terms before they
could proceed.
Stanley describes Tippoo lib as tall,
black bearded man Of "negroid COM
plexion,' in the prime of life straixht
and quick of movement and a picture
of energy and strength. He had fine.
intelligent face, with nervous witch
ing of the eyes and cleaning white.
perfectly formed teeth. The trader was
accompanied by retinue Of young
Arabs and large following of ma
tives, whom he led thousands of miles
through Africa. Tippoo lib amassed
fortune in his adventures, which began
at the age Of sixteen, and passed the
last years of his life writing the story
which a German has translated from
the original manuscript.
Stanley says that he astounded Tippoo
lib with the repeating rife quite as
much as the trader had astonished the
natives with the shotguns. Tippoo lib
also tells story Of Stanley to the eff
feet that the explorer promised to send
him from Europe $1,000 and a gold
Watch ana put him or with $4,000 and
photograph. Tippoo Tbs narrative
also tells how he succored Livingstone
and helped the pioneer explorer, Cam
eron, on his way.
Tippoo lib was an oppressor and
slave raider and took advantage Of the |
ignorance of the natives. But it was
not his shotgun policy which made him
rich and a power In central Africa.
His fortunes were advanced by the |
reputation he held of always keeping |
his word in matters of business. Start |
ing as poor boy, in ten years his cred
1t was boundless among the Bombay
end his name was one Of
extraordinary power among the black
tribes.

No Land Assemblies In Russia.

There Is no foundation in fact for
calling the provincial assemblies In
Russia "zemstvos," representatives Of
the land, according to the Daily Russ
Of ST. Petersburg. This paper says
that the idea has gained ground that
the zemsky sober is intended to call
together members who would be elect
ed somewhat according to the system
of existent land electiops. But at the
present time there is no such system
as land election. The zemstvo Of 1890
was no representation Of the land, but
of the local nobility supplemented with
peasants, according to the order of the
land officials and tax exemptees."
The Daily Russ cites the instances of
three provincial assemblies to back up
it's argument and shows that the noble
men in each case have a big majority
over all other classes. 1t says that
such a system Of elections is but a
poor foundation for the zemsky sober
Gland assembly,, which must have a
moral authority in the esteem of the
inhabitants of the land This paper
calls for the establishment Of the
old zemstvo Of 1864 as "the one only
system of true, actual land elections"
and which was superseded by the pres
ent system, In which the nobility has
from five-eighths to three-ffths of the
representation.

said to be superior to white lead and
other similar products In fineness, per-

that it dries quickly without driers,
hardens like enamel, does not blister

immigration Commissioner Sargent

arising from tine maintenance In this
country Of colonies Of aliens who re-
tain their allegiance to their native
CT :ntries and send there the greater
part of their earnings. Many of .-e
Italian and Hungarian immigrants do
not come here to stay longer than
sufficient time to acquire money
which they intend to go back to Eu-
rope to spend, continues the Phi.sdel-

lection against the Chinese. It is just
as Objectionable in the-case Of other
immigrants. There should be legisla-

that condition Of things. Immigrants
who come here without any intention
