The ‘ ongo State.
Tile Belgian legislature Bel¬ au
t homed the king ot the
gians to adopt the title of so v
ereign ot the Congo state; but
t-ueh sovereignty is strictly of a
personal nature. Congo does
not thereby become a part of
Belgium, or in any manner de¬
pendent upon or connected with
that kingdom. The new state
is to be ijjfco]) y independent
awl but the Belgian
kmj GO descendants will
be lings © O ongo; and it the
ra O 3 d some day turn
Btlcium into a republic, or
sho ! annex it, LsQQr
old I . or his^children would
have Congo to fall back upon.
Beyond that Congo is to be no
moro Belgian than French, Brit¬
ish or Ame ican.
No governor has as yet been
appointed for the new state,
and the stories that Henry M.
Stanley is to be tne local ruler
may or -may not be realized. It
is certain that some strong hand
is needed in Congo, for the
state has only a small fighting
force, and it is surrounded by
powerful neighbors. On the
north is an immense Moham¬
medan population, led by wily
Arabs, who have doubtless
heard before this how El Mah
di held the British at bay.
Soon or late the Mohammedans
of the Upper Congo will at¬
tempt to overthrow the Chris¬
tian Congo that Stanley has
founded. The best safeguard
that the new state can have is
found in the eaily Christiani¬
zation of its immense popula¬
tion. Once Chi istianized the
—©ativea^of LJpqfQ <$fl,)je trusted
to oppose the Mohammdans,
whereas if they are left iu their
present condition the steady
march of the religion of the
prophet in Africa will reach
them, and perhaps find them
ready converts. This would
imperil the independence and
.very existence of the Congo
state,
On the south is a powerful
African king, the Muata Yanvo
king of Lunda. Three hundred
chiefs, some of them living hun¬
dreds of miles away from the
capital of Lunda, pay tribute
to Lunda’s powe’ful lord.
Stanley was careful not to of¬
fend the king of Lunda, His
domain is immense, ami in ev
pry part of it his will is su¬
preme. He is a pagan, and
the Congo state may operate
as a breakwater to the oncom
ing t : de of Mohammedanism.
Very little of Lunda has been
explore^, and the world is at
present awaiting the outcome
of the attempt of the king of
Portugal t > open Lunda to
commerce. A Portugese officer,
with five hundred native car¬
riers, has been dispatched to
the Muata Yanvo. bearing pres¬
ents of great value and striking
beauty. Upon the success of
his mission wifi depend the op¬
ening of the southern affluents
of the Congo,
Congo is not beyond all dan¬
gers. The people need mission¬
aries, and the state needs a lar¬
ger force than it can at present
command. The genius and
force of Stanley can accomplish
a greet deal, but no man single
handed can successfully con¬
tend with either Mobammtdan
ism or the powerful king, if
eM ti» r become unfriendly and
aggressive.—Constitution.

June 5. -The
delegates to the conference of
charities and corrections to the
number of 350 ladies and gen ¬
tlemen called upon President
Cleveland at half past one to
day, and were received by him
in the east room. The dele¬
gates were introduced to the
president by Commissioner Ed¬
monds, of this district. There
were no speeches, but the pres¬
ident took occasion to express
to-several of the delegates his
warm interest in the reformato¬
ry works to which they are
devoting their time. The re¬
ception over, the delegates took
carriages to visit the district
jail, alms house and government
insane asylum.
