Qoottiieai From Medical Experts and LearneJ lien Taking the Bane Grcusd. Ullinm FOB TOT EISIMTCH.1 Jenner, an English physician, discovered or rather adapted, the practice of vaccina tion in 1798. It was to take the place of inoculation, which practice was introduced Into England by Lady Mary "Wortley Mon tague in 1721. Inoculation is the introduc tion of smallpox lymph from one arm to another, while vaccination is the placing of lymph, secured from the calf, the calf hav ing previously been contaminated by a product of the grease sore of the horse. This contamination originated by the careless groomsmen who milked the cows after clean ing greasy hoofs. It was observed that milk maids who contracted sores from diseased teats,showed an immunity from smallpox or at least had varioloid. This coming to Jenuer's notice, he began experimenting cd alter 20 or more years sncceeded in hav ing the practice legalised in a very peculiar manner as we shall see further on. Previous to the practice of inoculation (not vaccination) or about the year 1738, smallpox and measles were looked upon with about the same concern, the one no more dangerous than the other, but after the introduction of inoculation the ravages of smallpox increased to such a degree in the following century and a bait that in 1840 it became necessary to make Inoculation a penal offense. Something had to take the place of it, and so beggarly was medical practice at that time that practically the same thing was continued but called by a different name. Vaccina or the cowpox never originates spontaneously in the cow and is not one of its natural disorders, and if anything like it did appear Jenner declared it worthless for vaccinal purposes. Please remember this. SOUECE OF VACCINE MATTER. The cowpor, to which he ascribes these virtues, is a filth disease communicated from the greas heels of ill-kept horses, as before stated. 'This grease disorder retults from an inflammation of the sebaceous glands ot the skin about the heels of a horse and is properly called eczema pustulosum. The disease originates from a scrofulous condition, supervenes from exposure to wet and lack of cleanliness. This is the source of the original vaccine matter or cowpox. The first vaccination was made upon a lad named James Pbipps, who subsequently died of pulmonary consumption. Kemem ber this. Two years later, 1789, he vacci nated his own son, then ljf years old, with swine pox scarcely any animal escaped then and between that year and 1793 be repeatedly inoculated him with smallpox. This son was alwavs delicate in health, and tionT wen wasTDe7anatlfl"VEnff:",mT'- John Hunter, voicing the sentiment of the prolession at that time, says: "The introduc tion by inoculation of mineral or vegetable poisons into the blood is hazardous, but the introduction of animal products from an other living body, be it man or cow, or even an ass, is infinitely more pernicious." The Royal Society, in 1797, refused admis sion to Jenner's treatise, but he succeeded In persuading a number of aristocratic ladies to become amateur vaccinators, and thus is it seen that women had more to do with its introduction than anybody else. These lady vaccinators performed it upon thousands ot persons. Uounts and count esses dukes and followers espoused the cause, and finally in 1802 the King com manded the Prime Ministers to request Par liament to award Jenner ont of the public fund. Here have we at an early date an evidence of the rapacity of the vaccinators, the greed ot the benefactors (?) for public money, and, strange to say, the same thing obtains to this day. t Jenner promised the King and Parlia ment that vaccination would put an end to smallpox. Rot onlv was the people to be perfectly secure from deatli from smallpox, but they were to be equally secure from at tack. There were absolutely to be no cases, snd this when vaccination had been on trial for only six years. How perfectly absurd! IJTDORSEMEJfT BY DOCTOBS. Sow the medical profession, overawed by the attitude of court and nobility, found it convenient to withdraw their opposition and indorse what they previously rejected. To train with the majority seemed as much a necessary adjunct of public recognition then as now. Let us examine in the next place the sources of vaccination material. Jenner be lieved that smallpox, swine pox, cow pox and grease were varieties of the same dis ease. He vaccinated his own son with swine pox. He used the grease virus (horse pox) in a large nnmber of cases. In Spain goat pox was used, and Jenner claimed that the virus of these and various other animals were equally efficacious. He also used arm to arm vaccination derived from the horse. It will be seen that he practiced five distinct things under the name of vaccination. L Cow pox vaccination. Z Cow pox. child vaccination. 2. Horse pox (grease) vaccination. 4. Horse pox. cliud vaccination. 6. Swine pox vaccination. At no time did he inoculate the cow with variola, although he asserted that grease, cowpox and smallpox were all one disease. In 1801 Gassner, of Gunsburg, inoculated a cow with variolous virns, and from this a stock of genuine vaccine lymph waR ob tained. Another stock was obtained from a spontaneous cowpox,and is called the Bean gency stock, but it must be remembered that Jenner declared the spontaneous varietv of cowimjx as utterly worthless. Yet wa's this stock sent broadcast and thousands were vaccinated from it. Thus,iu addition to the virus of various origin, we have variola, cowpox and the Beangency stock. The present stock is derived from the Beangency stock, which Jenner declared worthless, and the calf lymph, derived from smallpoxing a heifer lrom the vesicles of which calves are inoculated, from whence comes the lymph we now use. Calf Bean gency stock (worthless)" and calf smallpox cowpox. AUTHORITIES DIFFEB. Now, if as Jenner declared, the various poxes are one thing, simple derivations from horse grease, it can make little difier ence through what animal it comes, pro vided the animal is healthy. But authori ties differ widely upon this point. Some claimed that smallpox inoculation of cows produces "genuine vaccine lymph;" others show that it is a delusion to suppose that Inoculation of cows with smallpox has ever proJuced cowpox, it produces smallpox, and nothing else, and is never transmitted into grease in the horse, or cowpox in the cow. Dr. George Wyld, of London, denied that vaccine lymph was obtained by calf smallpox inoculation, but modified small pox capable of spreading smallpox among human beings. Thus, it appears that a ) large portion ot the vaccination of to-day is nothing but a modified form of inoculation, having smallpox as its basis; and contain ing nothing of Jenner's method what ever. It is not cowpox, but small pox Ipropagated from human beings through calves to human beings again. When in 1S6S, the Beaugency stock was dis covered, everybody wanted it, and it could be obtained humanized or vitulated. That is, a child was vaccinated from the cow 18 years ago, and the virus has passed through some 400 or 600 transmissions, with many chances ot having been corrupted. The vitulated stock has in like manner been handed down from calf to calf nntll the evidence of Its genuineness would be questioned in any court. Upon what slight fonndation the whole qnestton of vaccinal virns rests! Mill ions ot vaccinations are made every year and nobodv knows what they are made with. The whole process is haphazard. Upon Jen ner's d ictum that smallpox would be stamped out (?) vaccination was accepted. The Board of Health to-day buys its virus of those who make merchandise of it. "Put money in thy purse" was, in the beginning, and is to-day, the inscription upon the banner of anybody who has anything to do with it PROCESSES OF VACCINATION. I need not recount the various methods of vaccinating. The operation is so simple that s layman can perform it as well as a legally qualified practitioner. The earlier vaccinations was performed by layman and ladies. When smallpox began to appear among the vaccinated it was indignantly denied at first, but when tbe failures be came too numerous to be hidden, the fault was laid to the manner of vaccination and not to the thing itself. Amateur vaccina tion was discontinued, and the matter rele gated to professional supervision, but with no better success. No one should be vaccinated except after the most rigid physical scrutiny and not then. But tbe carelessness of the health authorities in this particular is amazing. This summer a child of 11 years was vacci nated who was incubating measles. The rash appeared purplish, coma ensued and the child died. The indifferent manner in which children of all classes and conditions are brought under the rnle is enough to ex cite the indignation of every right thinking man. It will notdo to claim that the effects are harmless, for no less an authority than fair James roget says. The action of vac cine is to establish a permanent morbid condition of the blood." There are instances innumerable where vaccination has awakened a latent disease. A lady had a small tumor. She was vac cinated, and it passed through tbe regular stages. Previous to this the tumor re mained stationary, but in six months it in creased from four ounces to eight pounds. Another case, aged 39, health good. Vac cination ran the regular course, leaving open ulcers which did not heal for several months. Before the ulcers healed diarrhea set in and persisted until the patient died of mesenteric tubercle. If the Board of Health must vaccinate, why do they not exempt the scrofulous, syphilitic, eczematous, etc, as well as those incubating or suffering any acute disease? Especially should those recovering from any of the zymotic diseases be exempt. Was that the case this summer when measles was epidemic? A FILTHY MIXTURE USED. Head this: "The material was obtained from the Essex Market Dispensary, where it was gathered from that populous but filthy city. The mother was required to re port at the dispensary on the 21st day of the vaccination. The scabs were taken off and dropped into an open mouthed jar. A suf ficient amount of water was added from time to time to soften the scabs into a paste, into this filthy mixture the quills were dipped." Could anything reeking more of filth be conceived ol? Yet from this, thousands of unsuspecting people have been compelled by law to be vaccinated. Is it not fright ful? Let us now 6ee if we can learn what protection is afforded by this almost univer sal practice. Let us see if the end justify the despicable means. Does vaccination prevent smallpox in the vaccinated? In examining this evidence, it must be bm& VfeTiivo'rfHtaJttfej? 1prrii5able,iroTny presumptive evidence; for in no way can it be proventhat any person would take small pox even if not vaccinated. Whereas, upon theothpr hand, all the evidence produced is positive, for if a person is vaccinated and contracts smallpox, notwithstanding, in that case at least, it is a humbug. Let it be remembered that Jenner claimed that vaccination was a preventive for life. He lived to see his mistake, for some of the vaccinated were attacked twice, and ono case is reported where the man had five at tacks. Then he, Jenner, concluded that vaccination bad to be performed every year iu uk euecuve. jli must aiso oe remembered that smallpox is a filth disease, that does not attack everybody, but only a percentage of the people. Florence Nightingale attests this and says: "I was brought up by scientific men and ignorant women to believe smallpox was a thing of which there was once a first specimen, which went on propagating just as the first dog or pair of dogs, and that smallpox would not begin itself any more than a new dog would begin without there having been a parent dog. Since then I have seen smallpox growing up in first specimens in close rooms or over-crowded wards where it could not by any possibility have been caught, but must have begun." DEATHS FE01I SMALLPOX. The estimated death rate for 30 years pre vious to vaccination was 3.000 per 1,000.000. uuv ui cskiuittic wan ueciarea unreuaoie. The following results taken from hospital cases will give an approximate idea, but probably above rather than below the mark. t . Percent S23& Cases. Deaths. of death. 1700-79 42,145 7.555 17.64 After examining many other tables of statistics, we conclude the above to be about the correct, about 18 cases per 1,000. With this liberal estimate it was shown that not half the people could have had the disease. The claim then that vaccination alone pre vents falls to the ground, for this estimate covers a period prior to vaccination. In Boston in 1752, out of a population of 15,681. there were 5,545 cases of smallpox with 539 deaths, or 9.7 per cent. This was before vaccination, but inoculation had been practiced for nearly 30 years. Uninfluenced by inoculation, it is altogether likely the death .rate would have been less. In the smallpox hospital, London, the number of cases of smallpox after vaccina tion has steadily increased from about 5 per cent in 1800 to 44 per cent in 1845, 64 per cent in 1855, 78 percent In 1865, 90 per cent in 1875, and is now about 96 per cent of the whole number admitted. During the smallpox epidemic in 1880-2, the nnmber of vaccinated cases very largely exceeded the unvaccinated, and of the latter, the vast majority were children, in whom the disease is ery fatal. In 1803 the first report of the Vaccina Pock Institute says: "It is not manifest that the vaccine inoculation has been of benefit to the public, however, much it has been to private individuals." Strange statement, that Prom 1804 to 1810 the comparative rates of deaths in New York and London, is as follows: New York, (no vaccination), C3 per cent; Loudon, (vaccination fashionable), 111 per cent In 1810 the London Medical Obterver published the particulars of 535 cases o smallpox after vaccination, the operation in some cases performed by Jenner himself, also details of 97 fatal cases of smallpox alter vaccination, and 150 cases of injury arising from vaccination. In 1820, before Jenner's death, it was said: "Cases of smallpox after vaccination have increased to such an extent that no conscientious practitioner can recommend it as securing certain security against smallpox." DEATHS AFTEB VACCINATION. In 1828 in Marseilles about 2,000 were at tacked with smallpox who had been vac cinated, and in 1831 in Wirtemburg 955 persons were attacked with smallpox after vaccination. The Register General of Sweden, in his official report, 1856, says that tbe effect of vaccination is little or none or the system is highly defective. This after 40 years or compulsory Vaccination. Dr. Ducharme, speaking of an epidemic in 1868, which broke out in his regiment a iow months after he had revaccinatcd it, says: "To what sboftld be attribnte this epidemic in a regiment in which 437 revacefnations had been performed and where the hygienic conditions as to space, ventilation and food THE were excellent, when in the Second Regi ment, lodged precisely the, same, in the same court, but no vaccinations had yet been made, not a single case of smallpox ex isted." In 1870 there were 30,000 Prnssian soldiers in hospital, all of whom bad been vao oinated and revaceinated. In 1850, on the United States frigate Independence, were 660 persons and 116 cases of smallpox, 7 fatal, all with genuine marks. In 1864 a ship company of 212 persons, 31 cases of smallpox, 4 deaths. All vaccinated after voyage began. In the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1871, were 30,742 cases ot smallpox of whom 29,429 had been vaccinated. Annual report of Health Department ot city or New York 1870-71: "This extraor dinary prevalence ol smallpox over various parts of the globe, especially in countries where vaccination has long been officially practiced; its occurrence in its most fatal forms in persons who gave evidence of hav ing been well vaccinated and the remarka ble susceptibility of people of all ages to re vaccination are new facts in the history of tbts pestilence which must lead to reinvesti gation of the whole subject of vaccination and of its claims as a protecting agent" Smallpox continued epidemic in spite of the most rigorous enforcement of vaccina tion. In Baltimore. 1882, there were 4,930 cases, of which 3,606 were children; deaths, 1.184, of which 959 were children. Of the vaccinated (2,853), 327 died. In Chicago smallpox increased the more rigidly Vaccination was enforced. In Mi lan, in 1871. there were 17.109 cases onlv 278 of which were unvaccinated. In 1871-2 there were 11,174 cases of smallpox in Lon don after vaccination, which is compulsory before the third month. London Lancet, July 15, 1871: LIKE A PLAGUE. "The deaths from smallpox have assumed the proportions of a plague. Over 10,000 lives have been sacrificed during the past year in England and Wales. In London 5,641 death have occurred since Christmas. Of 9,392 in smallpox hospitals 6,854 bad been vaccinated. Taking the mortality at 17 per cent of those attacked and the deaths this year in the whole country at 10,000 it will follow that more than 122,000 vaccinated persons have suffered from small pox. This is an alarming state of things. Can we ereatlv wonder that the opponents of vaccination shonld point to such statistics as an evidence of the failure ot the system? It is necessary to speak plainly on this im portant matter." It will be seen by the above percentage of deaths, that notwithstanding the advance ment in medical science, hygiene, etc., that the mortality was the same, practically, as that before vaccinnation was introduced. The following table of results, before and alter vaccination, is of interest: 1723 to 1779, before vaccination, there were: Cases. Deaths. Per cent 21,991 4,707 13.83 1S36 to lSbl. after vaccination: Caesu Vaccinated. Deaths. Percent 43,109. 31,528 9,043 18.78 This shows that vaccination had no effect in diminishing the percentage of mortality. Smallpox as treated now and smallpox as treated by the medical men of the eighteenth centurv is the same unmodified disease. It exacts the same ratio ol victims, runs the same course, is s fatal now as then. The poor Indians fare worse, for everyone of them vaccinated died of smallpox. But why multiply these statistical evi dences of the unreliability of vaccination? Is there not enouch already given to justify my position that it is a humbug. It is co temporaneous with bloodletting and the treatment of typhoid fever with boiling water all BARBAROUS IN THE EXTBEME and abandoned long ago, as would also Yao- cination be, if it was not a convenient way to lay bands upon the publio funds. Were the money spent for vaccinating used by boards of health in exercising their free pre rogative, that of looking up tho hygienic condition of cities, greater good p-would be principle of Tight or justice constitutes a board ot health a collective physician, so to speak that it should prescribe medicine, inoculative or otherwise, for one to absorb. Nowhere can it be'shown that less small pox means lewer deaths, and right here I will present some facts that are enough to make the thoughtless think. It illustrates tne fact that one epidemic predominates for a time, during which the other forms of zymoses are in abeyance. The law of vicarious mortality is shown. Living under certain conditions the death rate of a people will be a definite number every year per 1,000,000 living. Nothing will vary it to a sensible degree except an alteration in tbe conditions of living. The prevalence ot one disease means the subsidence of another. Tbe law of compen sation is shown, for instance, In Sweden. In 1825 smallpox killed 1,213, typhus 3,962. In 1829 smallpox killed 3, tvpbus rose to 9,264. In 1816 smallpox 2, and tbe total deaths rrom all causes 72,683. In 1851, smallpox being epidemic in spite of thorough vaccination, the deaths from that disorder was 2,488, and the general mortality 72,608. Dr. Watt was astonished to find that though smallpox abated when vaccination came into fashion (it abated before this, however), yet the death rate in general did not diminish. Look at the following figures from tbe Glasgow death statistics: From From Whooping Decade. Umallpox. Measles. Couch. 1783-92 8,488 .211 854 1783-1802 2,894 S98 814 1803-12 L012 1,855 1,161 Smallpox decreased to less than one-third. Measles increased over five times the num ber. Whooping cough inoreased about one third. IT SAVES NO LIVES. In the House of Commons in 1878 Sir Thomas Chambers said: 'Ton cannot show that vaccination has saved a single lite. There may be no smallpox, but the disap- Iiearance of smallpox is by no means equiva ent to a reduction of mortality." Another table gives tbe three lowest years of smallpox deaths, 1841, 1851, 1855, when there was an average of 1.051 from smallpox. The general death rate per thousand was 23.9 per cent The three highest years were 1863, 1871, 1877, when the average smallpox aeatns was s.ioj. xne average death rate per thousand was still 23.6 per cent. Is this not a wonderlul showing? Does it not prove that there is bat one thing competent to contend with zymoses, and that cleanli ness? The London Lancet in 1871 says: "It must be admitted that the existing system of public vaccination has been sadly dis credited and almost wrecked by the present epidemic." Alexander Von Humboldt said he clearly perceived the progtessive dangerous influ ence of vaccination in England, Prance nnd Germany. Dr. William Rowley, in 1805, says: "Out of 604 persons vaccinated, 75 died from tbe consequences." This is not presumptive; it is truth. Dr. George W. Winterburn, from whose work, "The Value of Vaccination," much of this article has been compiled, speaks of a list of upward of 1,000 cases who had suf fered permanent injury, or death, from vac cination. It is alleged that vaccinated chil dren are more liable to die from other dis eases than smallpox than those who have not been vaccinated. It has been noticed that the death rate from certain diseases has very greatly increased since vaccination has become universal, and that the increase has been proportional to tbe extension of vac cination. There are TWO CLASSES OF DISEASES which are supposed to be spread by vaccina tion those which are distinctly incurable, like scrofuls, and those attacking persons predisposed by a lowering of the vital force to pneumonia and tvphoid. Herbert Spen cer says: "We are not certain that the propagation ol snbdued forms of constitu tional disease through the agency of vacci nation is notjthe cause of tbe deplorable health of the rising generation." Wero not this article already too long I could prove by abundant testimony that worse diseases than those alreadv mentioned have been transmitted by vaccination and have proven fatal in many cases. "I am strongly opposed to compulsory vaccination," says Herbert Spencer. "Itistu intolerable 'tyranny ,totepel m. - , . , - ' -3- rifiu a .j: 1 PITTSBURG . DISPATCH, vaccination by law," says Constantino Hering. Vaccination is a disease, and no man has a right to disease another against his will. Disease is a crime, and never anything but tbe resnlt of disobedience of law. No healthy person is a focus of disease, and since vaccination does not protect the vac cinated it is a monstrous fraud upon human credulity. The foregoing, taken largely from Dr. George Winterburn's book, is respectfully dedicated to the Board of Health, and is the evidence upon which I became iconoclastic enough to call vaccination a "humbug."

SATURDAY, . ATJG.TJSI PRO&RESS IN AFRICA. Civilization Fast Taking the Place of Dark Continent Savagery. ENGLAND'S YAST POSSESSIONS, Comprising a Territory Eight Times the Mother Country's Size, BECOMING A WELL 0KGAMZED STATE It is difficult to imagine anything more striking than the picture oi an organized Btate springing out of the chaos of African savagery which is presented by the recent report of the British East Africa Company. We see working before our very eyes the very process under which the Indian Em pire "rose like an exhalation" from the rnins of the sovereignty of the Moguls. In tbe African Company's official documents, there is the same curious mixture of trade and high politics so familiar to tbe student of Indian history; the same interpenetration of the language and ideas of the counting house and of tbe Department of State; and, that tbe resemblance shall be absolutely complete, the same exaggerated display of deference and courtesy to the native poten tates who are being rapidly pushed into the background by the advancing Englishman. Just as Clive and his cotemporaries seemed to delight in nominally abasing themselves before the nabobs they superseded, so the British East Africa Company assumes al ways an attitude of extreme humility. The directors, when giving an account to their shareholders of the amicable arrangement come to between them and Italy, gravely describe themselves as acting "with the knowledge and consent of His Highness the Sultan of Zanzibar." This invocation of a sovereign, helpless and surrounded by foreigners in his little island thousands of miles away from the subject-matter of the negotiations, offers a curious parallel to the use often made in Bengal of the name and authority of the Great Mogul, who all the while was mis erably playing at Emperor under a tattered canopy in his palace at Delhi, utterly at the mercy of the marauder who might think it worth while to rob him. Absurd as it sounds, we do not doubt however, that this instinctive desire on the part of English founders of empire to wear j& mask ot hu mility is grounded in reason. It has cer tainly answered better than the plan of applying pure reason to colonial extension usually adopted by the French. EXTRAORDINARY PBOGEESS. The system of sharing a portion of the revenues with a native overlord adopted by the East India Company, has also been fol lowed by tbe British East Africa Company. At present, says a writer in the London Spectator, the company pay the Sultan of Zanzibar a fixed rent of $56,000 per annum, plus 50 per cent of any net surplus revenue derived from the customs after payment of all administrative and other charges. This is always tbe first stage in tbe evolution of an Eastern State pensioner. How many years, we wonder, will pass before the Sul tan of Zanzibar finds himself in the position of a mediatized Indiah Rajah? The progress already achieved by the com pany has been extraordinarily rapid; but now tbatthey have really SUcceededjin put ting their house in order, we may look for an even quicker advance. How firmly they have now established themselves in their territory, is clearly brought out in tbe re port. In the first place, tbey have got their boundaries distinctly marked out, and really know what does and what does not Germans, with Italy, and with various native chiefs, make their territorial limits as follows: They own a coast lirfe of 400 miles, extending from Wanga at tbe mouth of the Umba river on the south, the place wnere tne uerman territory begins, to the Jnba river on the north, whence stretch the receutltallan annexations tbe little isolated German settlement of Witu being absorbed. Inland, Germany marches with the com pany on the south up to the Congo State, which forms their western limit: while to the northward, the course of the Juba and the western and northern borders of Abys sinia, form well-defined landmarks to the company's possessions. In a word, their territory is now definitely marked off, ex cept as regards tbe region which may roughly be described as lying between tbe most northern corner of the Congo State and the most southern point of Abyssinia the region in which Eniin Pasha's province was situated. This gap looks down the Nile Valley, and, if the Soudan actually as well as nominally belonged to Egypt, would make the company's borderers Germany, the Congo State, Egypt, Abyssinia and Italy. EIGHT TIMES GBEAT BRITAIN'S ABEA. Speaking approximately, the company's possessions have an area of 750,000 square miles, or over eight timesjtbat of Great Brit ain. Access is given to the interior bv nu merous rivers, one of wbicb. the Juba, is navigable for 300 miles. This territory in cludes also more than half the shore-line of Lake Victoria; contains the whole of Lake Rudolt, a magnificent sheet of water: com prises Mt. Kenia, known to be over 18,000 leet high, and may, when the boundaries of tne loogo State are more accurately map ped, be lound to take in the actual Mount ains of the Moon. The company, having found exactly how far tiielr sphere of operations extends, are hard at work organizing. Already tbey have an army consisting of 200 Soudanese soldiers aud 200 Imliun military police. Moreover, tbey have established a strongly fortified post 260 miles inland from their capital, Mombassa, and about balf way be tween that place and Lake Victoria; while, at distances of 30 miles between this central depot and thn - they have founded smaller stations, with a road practicable for baggnge animals con necting them. Mombassa. which stands on an island, has grown like a town "out West" since the advent oi tbe company, the population being now no less thab 30,000, We read, too, of the island being covered with tramways, and ol substantial houses oeing onui. a good narbor and well-laid piers are in course of construction, and al. ready the Admiral of the African squadron is considering whether he should not make tbe roadstead his headquarters. Telegraphic communication between the company's ports and- inland posts is being already de veloped. Mombassa and Zanzibar are al ready joined by cable, and lines are being' laid along the coast and to the great central station ot Machakos, on the road to the Victoria Nyanza. AH these improvements, however, will suit into Insignificance when the railway which is to connect the great inland sea with the coast has been con structed. LIGHT IN THE DAEK CONTINENT. The material for 30 miles has already been landed at Mombassa, and directly the monsoon is over, the actual work will be begun. No doubt these 30 miles will prove useful in themselves, but it is as the first installment ot a railway into Eqnatnrial Alrlca that tbey are important. When once it is possible to travel the distance be tween ilombassa and the Victoria Nyanzj in 30 or 40 hours, the Dark Continent will be dark no more. Apd the iron road will do more tban merely frnnsport traders nnd their mei chandise; it will be useable for con veying tho material for steamers which, when put together and launched on the lake, will make n trip to Uganda as easy as was a voyage to Dongola before tbe insur rection ot the Mahdi. Though it sounds like dreaming, nothing is more certain tban that some day a line up the valley of the Nile will connect the railway system ot the Delta with that of the British East Africa Company. Thirty years ago the idea of through railway communication between Quebec and the Pacific seemed utterly pre posterous. Who knows but that another quarter of a century nay see only two or three short gaps left in the metal track be tween Cairo and tbe Cape? Before wo leave the subject of Ihewmv 9, UB90. ' m i 1W pany's report, we must note a curious instance of the rapid way in which African natives adopt English commercial habits. The banking facilities placed within the reach of the natives by the company have, we are told, "already had tbe effect of greatly increasing trade, and of attracting ivory and other caravans from the interior," and the formation of a local bank able to issue notes is contemplated at an early date. We have been 'told on good authority that the dusky kinglets and chiefs ol the west coast are in the habit of opening banking accounts in London and of drawing cheques thereon, and apparently the plan is taken to as kindly in East Africa. One would have thought that the negro or Arab who brought down ivory to the coast would bave liked to handle his gold at once; but apparently the seenrity and convenience of the cheque system is so obvious as to be universally recognized. ' BEEAD TROTS. SAWDUST. The Latest York Siato Mvladle Discovered by a Drummer. New York Btar.l "I have found the cheekiest swindle of the age," said George Lord to me yesterday. Mr. Lord is a drummer, who keeps his eyes open when out on the road, and is greatly interested in matters pertaining to food adulteration. "It is wood flour," he continued. 'Elour actually made of wood and used largely for the purpose of adulteration. It was at Mt. Pleasant, on the little Ulster and Delaware Railroad, that I first saw the mill. White beech trees are used. The wood has no flavor or color, and is bard and dry. The bark is peeled ofl and the logs are put on a carriage, which forces tbem against a cut ting machine shaped like a pencil sharpen er, except that it has five or six knives in stead of one. These knives revolve at the rate of from 200 to 300 revolutions a minute. and the log is soon cnt into fine shavings. After tbese are thoroughly dried they are put into a hopper and ground the same as wheat or corn. ' "The flour comes out as fine and fragrant as from fine wheat, and is put in bags without any marking on except a tag with the ad dress and sent to New York. Where they go here I don't know, but I learned from a workman at the mill tnat there Is a pretty big sale for the stun". He said that part of it was used as paper stock andiuthe prepar ation of lincrusta waltou. That is the os tensible purpose for which it is made, but a workman told me that a good deal of tbe stuff went into the hands of contractors tor furnishing Indian rations, and that consid erable of it also went into the cheap breads sold in tbe Italian and Hebrew districts in the lower part of the city." DEMOCRACY FOR ENGLAND. Tho Downfall of ibe Prenent Government Predicted for tbe Near Future. A Pittsburger yesterday received a letter from an English relative, who is one of the prominent members of the English Parlia ment, iu wbich he predicts the final down fall of the present government and predicts some radical and rather startling changes. Said be: "Our government has made a mess of it this session, but if they make no further serious blunders it will not be nec essary for them to dissolve, unless decency requires it, for two or two aud a half years at least Meanwhile they have an assured majority of about 80. My own belief is that if neither they nor we commit some act ot folly, or perform some act of superhu man grandeur, that we will have a majority of at least 30 or 40, but out of the 350 or 400 members composing it there will be at the outside 40 moderate men. This means dis establishment and a very trying time for everybody. Our radical friends talk of a majority of 120, the result of which would cate, but no church, no Honse of Lords and democracy all around. I don't desire dis establishment, but I do favor abolishing the Lords." The gentleman is rather conservative in his own views, bnt be sees with precision what the outcome will be if the majority is as heavy as 120. As he is a politician, and a wise one, be objects to having his name used, but be is a well-known Gladstonian. HEIGHT PBOSPECTS AHEAD. A Great Bnilnene Boom Expected la Every 'Line of Trade. "Business is picking up," said a freight agent yesterday, "but we anticipate a better season this fail tban we ever had before. The boom is expected in every branch of trade. ITor Pittsburg tbe iron, glass and steel men are pleased with tbe bright out look, and the railroads will have their bands full handling tbe heavy shipments. As sure as fate, there will be a more serious car famine than ever, as there always is. The improvement at present is slight, but ap preciable. General Freight Agent Dean, of the Lake rie, said that there bad been no let un on bis road this summer. Ibe last 60 days has been their biggest in tbe history of the line. Ibe Pennsylvania people to the lakes are also crowded. Kr. Sean stated that he paid no attention to the through business, and he couldn't say how other roads bad fared during the hot period. KICK AGAINST THE BILL The New Form of Imillns Not Relished by Some rtblppera. Tbe new bill of lading issued uniformly by tbe railroads, except by tbe Grand Trunk, and wbich is marked "not nego tiable," is raising some discussion among shippers. Eastern bankers refuse to accept tbem, and some claim it is n scheme of the lints to discriminate in rates in favor of some peoole. The new bill states that if the liability of the roads is remoyed they will carry at lower rates. The roads claim that the greater the risk the greater the cost, and it is on this basis the bill is issued, Ko complaints havo been made in Pittsburg. I.
