This may seem. to many people, a most
alarming state of things; and yet there
are facts 10 be observed in our coun-
try, which resemble it. We have visited
many a large factory in our beloved
New England, most of whose inmates
were suffering from disease in some way
oriother. And all persons, whether in
this country or any other, who are con-
fined in bad air and exposed habitually to
excess of beat, lose their color and become
habitually pale, and consequently less
vigorous, and more exposed TO disease

Extract of a letter from England, dated
Sept. 7, 1898:
"Our account of the conduct of the
Negroes in the West Indies is most cheer
ing, but that of their masters, in many
cases, most disgraceful; but if we can
preserve to the Negro the power of loco
motion, the competition for labor will en-
able him 10 protect himself. We
are at present preparing for John ScobIe
and Charles Stuart going to the West In
dies on a tour Of inspection. They pro-
pose to sal from Falmouth on the 18th
