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

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."

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

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.
