Their, rcigning over a people who are our
co-religioniSts, will: in all probability,
establish a great kingdom on the ruins
Of Mahommedan rule. Should proVi-
dence will that the Dardanelles are not
to become Russian property, we can only
wish that they should fall to orthodox
Greece and her King, the brother of her
future mistress. Russia, ruling in the
Euxine and the Baltic, is not in posses
sion of the straits connecting those seas
with the ocean. Much fighting may be
required to render US masters OF the DAT
danelIes but the Sound, the Dardanel-
les of the North, at any rate, is in the
hands of King Christian, the lliustrious
father Of our own Dagmar. We hope
and trust that the family ties uniting the
Danish and the Russian dynasties will
assist us in attaining these aims, which
powerful Russia cannot do otherwise than
pursue"

importation of coolies. The planter can indeed point to Barbadhn
TEN but they are exceptions, not the rule; and that they hare been
successfully worked is owing to an overcrOwded laboFIng population, and
not to any merit whatsoever in the tenure itself
But there is a more general view to be taken OF the queSnon-a
more general cause than the specific one which have explained, to
which the abandonment Of the sugar-estates may be assigned tBa
truism tina, where land is cheap there labor is dear and where land Is
dear there labor is cheap. In the overcrowded districts OF England land
RIGA land is cheap and labor dear. This became the case in the West
Indies a soon as the people were released from bondage. Inc exam
nes are precisely parallel, the reasoning and deductions eXacuy SSnhna'
In the old and thekly-setued island of Barbados land was DEAR te PEG
nile could not purchase, and labor has remained to this day cheap ana
nlontifnl In Trinidad or in British Guiana lard was cheap and pent-
fnl: the people could purchase, and have purchased in surprising num-
hers. and labor is consequently, both scarce and dear. In barDau0S'
thronoh their overcrowded condition and the policy OF the planter te
naonle have been kept in a subservent position. In Trinidad or British
Guiana tue people have been able to exchange a condition OF SGVtude
for one of ndependvnce-m other words, to leave the estates upon which
thew were laborers and they are, as a natural consequence acre N
Yo6tened. better educated, and more wealthy than their brethren IN
Barbados. Compare, again, d thickly populated European district with
q snarsely-settled county in Western America. In the one case the vast
majority are toiing for their daily pttance, and, whatever the wealth OF
the place may be, it is in the hands of the few. In the other case thefe
is a population of freeholders, every man independent and wealth IS
evenly distributed among all. Though the European district should
axnort a h%undredfofd more than the American county, no one Will pre-
tend that the American farmer is not much more elevated in the social
scale than the European laborer. This is exactly the distinction that
should be made between the negroes in Trinidad and in the other ISLANDS
where thew have been able to leave the estates and work for themselves
and those in Barbados, where, by force of circumstances, they have been
compelled to remain on the estates and work for others. 1t IS the IN
stinct Of human nature to aspire to independence, and, in this respect
the arguments applicable too white man may with equal proprety %
applied tothe negro.
{ have considered the planter as a lord of The soil and as a landlord

of him as a legislator. Politically considered, the population of Barba-
dos may be divided into three classes-the arBtocracy, who are the
planters; the middle class, composed alike of white and cOlored mechan-
les, and the lower orders which are the black laborers. The first alone
is represented in the Legislature; and the government like the old
Venetian republic, is q pure oigarchy. The influence OF the governor is
the only protection for the masses against plantOcralc Legislation. In
the present representative of her majesty people OF all classes have tound
an impartial chief and a statesman of profound and practical experience.
He has made the labor question, as q question OF political and S0cal
economy, the subject of the closest investigation within the limits of his
government, which includes Barbados, st. Vincent, Tobago, Grenada,
and st. Lucia. Mr.. Hncks has neither forgotten nor forsaken the en-
lghtened and liberal views which placed him for so many years at the
head of the Canadian administration, and we find him in Barbados earn
eSty advocating whenever he can an extension of the franchise. But
by his very position, a colonial governor is deprived of any active pOhtt
cal influence, and the Barbadian franchise remains as it stood a century
ago. 1t gives a vote to every freebooter with a rental of $50 per annum'
to a leaSehoder who pays 1920 per annum, and to a possessor OF a town
occupancy Of $3.50 per annum. This franchise utterly excludes the mid
troll of the planting interest I will not, therefore, be deemed far wrong
when l call this government an oigarchy, especially when it is known
that, at the last election for the popular branch" of the Legislature, the
whole number of votes polled in Barbados amounted to one hundred and
forty-seven, out of a population of one hundred and fifty thousand souls !
The planting interest of these islands may be characterized as one
of unqualified selfshness. But it has not the merit of being a prudent
sagacious, or farseeng s~efshness. Extravagant in all that pertalned to
their own case and luxury penudous when the Improvement, moral
soeia, or political, of the people was in question tenacious OF their ars
tocrahc privileges, opposed to reform, and behind the age in political
agricultural, and mechanical science, the planters themselves have done
ali thew could to retard the progress of the West India colonies, and to
aggravate the evils which an fl-planned and untmely scheme of emanci
patton entaled upon the islands. Theirs was not the broad, grasplng
safshness of a powerful oligarchy wise enough to combine their own
ACKNOWLEDGMENT with that of the nation at large; but it has been from
first to last a narrow-minded sdfshness that pursued crooked paths TO
accumulate gain at the expense of the public veal, and to the Infinite
detnment of the colonial credit.

On Saturday night, about half past ten,
= fire broke out on the public square at Co
lumbia, which burned a number Of large
business houses, involving very serious loss,
and Cor time threatened the destruction of
almost the entire town. The streets were
thronged with people working with energy
to save property, but owing TO the want Of
proper Gre apparatus and water, their efforts
were unavailing in arresting the flames I'M
Ill some eight or nine buildings we're CON
sumed.
The public square and streets adjacent
we're filled with goods saved from the
stores, but large proportion was dam
eyed. A great deal Of property was pill
fered and stolen by gangs Of remorseless
thieves who took advantage Of the unfor-
tunate coahagration 10 plumber and rob.

OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRE-
TEEcEs.--A negro named Jerry johnson
was brought before Squire Wilkinson yes
terdsy on the charge Of having stolen
about eighteen dollars from oolored woman.
Johnson, it appears, claims to be doctor
Of great powers, capable, IN fact, Of work
ing wonders. He pretended to the negro
woman in question that he could cure her
Of the phthisic for three dollars. The pa
tent rendered the physician the required
Zee, whereupon johnson proceeded 10 drive
a nail into the wall andto balance another
nail upon il, assuring the suffering woman
that she would be well in 4 day or two at
most. Jerry, il seems is light-fngered,
and while in the woman's house succeeded
in getting about eighteen dollars in money,
which the woman had laid up from her
earnings as a laundress. For protesting 10
be able 10 cure the phthisic and for taking
the woman's money, johnson was bound
over 20 the Criminal Court in the sum Of
five hundred dollars. Not having that
amount Of seeurity at command. the doctor
