the island, grew in high favor and was
always practised. In the time of Henry
VIII it was extended to church pro perty,
and the same edicts that brought
wealth to his Golfers more the
bribes that conferred the lands
upon his courtiers. We suppose now
that every means viii be used topersuade
the negroes to leave their old homes and
colonize right in our midst. The inhos-
pitalities Of a colder climate, are too
rude to offer negro settlers. A feeling of
revenge and an act Of charity" prompt
these negrophilsts. Pile it on-choice
in 2S,OOO,OOO acres of land and an APP
preparation of millions of dollars to sup
port the war. The war isn't ended yet
1t has just begun, and is between the Bu-
reau and the people. Twelve millions
of dollars being involved, the struggle
will be hard one.
