The Edict Against the Slave Trade In
China.

We published yesterday very curious and
characteristic edict of the Chinese government
against the coolie traffic, or slave trade, in
China. There seems to be an awakening
all over the world against man holding his
fellow man as property, whatever may be his
color, black, white, yellow or brown. Nations
and mankind generally had become SO de-
moralized by slavery, which has existed in one
form or another throughout all history, that
even where abolished by law people have
eyaded the law and given some other name to
the same thing. The cupidity of man has
proved stronger than governments or public
sentiment But now o crusade has been COM
menced in earnest in every part of the civil
lied or semi-civilized world against slavery
and the slave traffic, under whatever deceptive
name they may flourish. The coolie trade in
and with China for supplying the colonies
of Spain and Portugal Peru and other coun-
tries, with forced labor has resulted in one Of
the most atrocious and horrible forms of
slavery The Governor General of Kwang-
tung China, has found it necessary to issue a
proclamation denouncing the s'vagabonds"
who decoy and kidnap people for the purpose
of sale to go to foreign land, thing COM
monty known as 'pig selling" and to warn
the people against those who decoy the simple
to slavery and destruction. Quaint as the
language of this Chinese edict is, no protest of
the most eloquent anti-slavery orator could be
more forcible or more to the purpose. We
hope this action Of Governor General Jul
may have the desired effect.

Our Indians-Report Of the Comm 3.
siOMer.

Our Indians-Report Of the Commits
siOncr.
The Indian Commissioner in his annual
report to the Secretary of the Interior enters
into long defence of the government policy
towards the red men. He opens by attempt
ing to forestall criticism by admitting that the
peace policy was not altogether a brilliant
success In some things certain amount of
inconsistency is allowed to exist, as in the
treatment of the peaceable and hostile tribes.
While the latter are pampered and petted the
good red man is left to exc out miserable
existence as best he can. The advantage of
remaining ''wild' must be very evident to
the unsophisticated savage; and while the only
prospect held out to Lo in reward for his
becoming a member of some respectable
psalm-singing community is short rations and
hard work, we think the noble red man is
likely to prefer soaring Uncle Sam into gen.
erosity by practising o little scalp-lifting.
This programme is peculiarly suited to the
aboriginal instincts, and allows the noble
savage to combine profit with pleasure. The
weak point of the report is the treatment
of the peaceful Indians. The Commissioner
does not seem to have recognized the fact that
the way in which they are neglected reacts
on the wild tribes and disinclines them to
abandon their predatory life. We have con-
stantly urged that kindness should always be
used towards the Indian when anything
can be accomplished by it, but we are Of
opinion that the arm Of the government
ought to strike more quickly and sharply
than it has been accustomed to do, when
gontle means have failed The Commissioner
indeed, takes the same view, and amusingly
enough tries to defend the government from
the attacks Of those papers which blamed the
harshness and severity Of Grants Indian
policy. We suppose that this is intended as a
sly joke, for the good Commissioner must
have used microscope in making the dis
covery of the opposition to the severe meas
ures adopted against the Indians. What the
people want is that ample protection be af-
forded to the frontier population, and that the
Howardising, which simply encourages the
massacre of our pioneer citizens be at once
brought to an end, and that the pious General
shall be translated to a bishoprc. If Sheri-
dan be left unhampered by the philanthropsts
he may he trusted to temper justice with
