improvements whose general adoption

\ Serious Negro Outbreak as 81
Croix, w. I.

CrOtx, w. j.
The negroes of st. Croix, West Indies,
have recently assumed an attitude that
should serve as awarning to the white popu-
lation of all the insular settlements in the
tropics. Without any premonitory signs Of
danger q wild revolt of the colored laborers
Of the Danish island has taken place and
very great deal of damage has been in
ficted on the planters by the indiscriminate
burnings Of their estates. Our account Of
the outbreak published to-day does not
suggest definite cause for the murderous
violence of the negro laborers, although
mention is made of an oppressive labor law
and government restriction in the procure-
ment Of passports. We must therefore in
fer that it originated in a drunken orgie and
under the influence of Voodooism,. which is
much prac tised by the negroes of Jamaica
and Barbados, many of whom are to be
found in the Danish and French islands.
This class of colored laborers has always
been one very difficult to keep in order 1t
possesses more intelligence than the ordi-
nary plantation hands of the West Indies,
and is known unfavorably even on the
main land of Central America. Being
vicious in the extreme, and always
ready for mischief, the ringleaders in
such an outbreak as we describe have little
difficulty in finding following willing to
join in the work OF destruction. It is fortu-
nate that prompt measures were adopted
for isolating the outbreak at st. Croix. If
a general revolt were inaugurated in the
West Indies fearful massacres might result
before anything could be done to check it.
As it is, the summary punishment of the
rioters has served its purpose very effectu-
ally, and all danger is for the present at an
end We must, however, recognizs in
these occurrences the lingering influences
Of slavery, which now form the whips that
scourge those who made that barbarous in
stitution profitable. The negro in the West
Indies is really only nominally free. The
lawmakers being the planters legislation is
entirely in their interest, and all movements
calculated to improve the moral and politi-
cal welfare Of the negroes are discouraged.
The governing idea is that an educated
colored man is an Improbable field
hand; therefore no effort is made
to lift the worker out of the condition of
mere animal dependence in which the greed
and inhumanity of the dominant race have
placed him. To hold the wretched unarmed
mob responsible for the excesses at st. Croix
is absurd. The leaders Of the outbreak
should and probably will be punished if
captured, but we deprecate the slaughter of
their unreasoning followers in the fort yard
at Bassin The way to control these men
is to do them justice and to teach them the
Laws of civilized life.

The WEATHER.-The depression in the North

followed by rising barometer over the Middle
and New England States. That of the North
west has taken general easterly direction, and
IL mt present Lake Superior and the
gions to the northward. Attendant rains ex-
tend over the Upper Mississippi Valley. The
barometer has risen over the area of the dis
turbance and the marginal winds have moder-
ated considerably, but reaching the coast

character and probably prove dangerous.
In the southeast q cyclonic storm is
central near Florida, with very heavy north

This storm began to be noticed as a depression
on Sunday, and has now advanced northward
and westward very rapidly. The centre is at
present over Central Cuba and the Straits Of
Florida, and is moving northward and eastward.
Over the Central and South Atlantic States tho
pressure is high, with clear weather. When
this area moves into the Atlantic the course Of
the cyclonic storm will probably be along its
western margin, toward the region of New
foundland, where its energy will be considerably
decreased. In the meantime, however, danger
ous winds will prevail on the Atlantic coast,
about and south of Cape Hattcras. Reports by
cable from Hoyhead indicate that the depres-
sion predicted TO arrive on the British coasts
