by schweinfurth who found it about 6 deg north of the equator i captains spoke speke and grant were satisfied that the great stream running northward out of the victoria nyanza near the equator is the

debo ehing ching into the atlantic on the west boist of africa the sun asks if the following is not a correct answer to the interrogation of how the nile question stands in it Is known that the white river now no almost universally admitted to be the true nile flows northward out of the great lake under the equator discovered by sir bir samuel baker baher in 1864 1804 IL II it Is also known that a large largo flows into the albert nyanza from the victoria nyanza another large equatorial equit orial lake a few miles further south discovered by captain Spa keln kein in 1863 lir lii it is satisfactorily established that there is no water connection between either of the abovementioned above mentioned lakes and lake tanganyika which lies between two and three hundred miles southeast of them IV it is improbable that living stones reported discoveries have any connection with the nile tiie tile sacramento union remarking upon indian matters in utah bays says that notwithstanding the score of economy of course it would not do to trust our indian affairs to a mormon at a time when we are threatened with mormon difficulties 11 thib this is only another of the many multiplying evidences of the existence of preparations pa rations for another anti mormon crusade the union knows well enough that so far as the mormons cormons Mor mons are concerned there are no threats nor intentions of difficulties but there are parties here and among them federal officers who ought to both know and do better or be promptly removed who are incessantly intriguing scheming plot striving and contriving to bring about difficulties in utah to have things go long peaceably ind nd harmoniously anda ands prosperously is the last of their thoughts if the union refers to these persons persona as threatening the union is perfectly right tire THE present presidential campaign has already received the appellation of the campaign of lies or the lying campaign an appellation however which it is to he be apprehended is not very distinctive tive that much tall falsifying does characterize the pr present ellent campaign there can be little doubt and further that much of such falsification is plainly called lying is also evident both of which we are sorry very sorry to say parson newman says baya he has carefully gone over all the instances of grants intoxication which have been published and in every instance the facts proved the stories false which we are very glad to learn but the new york sun is not so easily satisfied considering the parsons statement equivocal and thus challenges mr newman to tb make a plumper statement if grant has authorized parson newman to deny leny that he ever got drunk 9 let the denial be direct and unequivocal and then the thousands who know the truth will know that the denial is a iley lie lle now whether president grant ever did or never did take a drop too much is a matter of comparatively trifling concern but this giving the lie method of dealing with this or any subject Is not a very dignified sort of journalism we call the tae house bouse to order gentlemen THE political world is wrought up to the highest pitch of excitement today to day over the elections in the throe three influential states of ohio indiana and pennsylvania both parties it appears are confident of success and both parties consequently are liable to disappointment and almost certain of it in part the condition of the polls will hardly hardi be e known today to day here with any close approximation to the truth and judging by theNor tb carolina report not be definitely known for a number of days if the polling runs close of course both parties will claim the victory and both may nire fire salutes and rejoice accordingly As over the southern election just named the wrong party may claim the triumph and engage in a furore of premature rejoicing for our own part we may consistently and patriotically w wish s that the really victorious party will be the one which will labor most assiduously for the common welfare 1 for the public good is what every citizen should desire and seek all the time independent of party or
