AN AFRICAN RAILWAY.
The Way IL Was Described by an
Educated Native.


Educated Native.
{. J. Phillips, business agent in
Uganda OF the Church Missionary So
ciety. throws light upon the workings
of the native mind by quoting re-
markable letter in which a nativ
member of the katikiro's prime minis
ter'sl party gives n description of the
Uganda railway.
"My friend, can tell you the Euro
peans have done a marvellous thing to
make the railway and the trains. They
fasten ten or fifteen houses together
and attach them 10 n fireplace which
is as big as an elephant. and the road
it goes on is as smooth as the stem of
plantain. 1t goes as fast as a swal-
low lying. and everything you see out
side fits past you like a spark from a
fire. If it were TO drop of one OF the
bridges not one in it would be saved.
for it goes dreadfully quick. The hills
it passes are as high as those of KokI,
and they have bridged over great val
leys which are as deep as that you see
when You look from the top of Mani
rembo. so deep that you cannot see the
bottom when you are going over them"
Later there follows a description Of
a ship: ut is as deep as our two sto-
r1ed house and as wide as the kings
road in Mengo. and IL IS as long as
from the katikiro's fence to the gate
OF the kings Enclosure 1t has three
tall poles in 1t and big throat, out Of
which smoke comes, which is as wide
as the new drum in the church ut Ma
mirembo. The rooms in it go dow
three stories, and the boards Of these

Editorally the Bismarck Tribune
saws Of the late Senator johnson {:
''He was a man Of strength, deter
mination and potent individuality.
He had positive following that
was personal. A great number of
people in the state were his friends
and supporters because they be-
lieved in his intrinsic worth. He
was an ardent republican. He
was a believer in the protection
of American industries and labor
ers, and had a wholesome love for
his country and his countrymen.
He was not an apologist for his
official acts. He did not hesitate
to follow the dictates of his be-
lief and to defend his actions be-
fore the people. He would have
been AMI interesting and potent fig
ure in the forthcoming primary
campaign in the state. His sudden
death will loose a flood Of specula-
tion and prediction as to it's effect
upon the politics in the state.
Mr.. Johnson's successor will
doubtless be a democrat, and in

followed political affairs. the

Many Of the brokers at the meet

Importance of maintaining the
high standard Of dealings now

of few politicians to force Fed

doomed to failure; should such a

losses to the farmer; it is the
policy of the board of trade to ex-

The Society Of Equity believes
