The New York Times closes a long
and able article concerning the diffe-
rent races that inhabit this country
with the following paragraph:
It's an easy task for legislation TO

and one which the local feeling. at
least in the well settled parts of Cali
lornia, seems disposed to aid. But
late instances have occurred of eva

ton which alone caa terminate it and
emancipatc the negro race from its
min Jrity, are subjects that will engage
the anxious thought OF the nation for
many decades. They ale subjects too
large to be more than touched upon
here subjects which concern the hon

any other questions Of race. For the
negro will share the continent with us
and be a part of our people so long as
we are people. We shall eliminate

common continent.
tF Salnave. the newly elected
lfaytian President, may be pronounced
without any exception, the most popu-
lar ruler in the world How this
comes about we can hardly tell but
the fact is beyond question. When
Geii'rard was forced to abdicate. the
people Of lIayti with one voice called
on Genevre Salnavs to govern them.
He refused. They prayed him to take
what title he pleased He declined
again, as Cesar thrice refused the
" kingly crown" on the Lupereal, but,
as it appears, from purer motives ;
and he asked tC be allowed to live in
strict retirement. The citizens would
not allow another name to be pro-
posed, and begged him at least to be-
come " Protector " for a while. He
consented. Again they importuned
him to be President. Then, at length,
he yielded, because the Presidency had
meanwhile been limited to four years.
instead of lasting, as before, through
life. Universal JOY prevailed. The
people went through the form of an
election last month. No other name
was mentioned but Salnave's, and he
was unanimously elected. Even Wash
ington was not made President with
such universal spontaneity of choice.
One would at first suspect Salnayc's
coynGss to be consummate art, just
as Buckingham advises Gloucester to

play the maids part; still answer
nay, and take H." But the accept
ance seems to be pure sacrifice to
patriotism. May Salnave's four years
be throughout as prosperous as at
their beginning. His accession to
power has acted like a charm on
troubled Hayti.-N. y. Times.
