aid the Negro in his struggle for moral, social
and intellectual elevation do likewise

WHY WE DIsTRUsT THEM.

WHY WE DISTRUST THEM.
To many Democrats the fidelity OF
the Negro to the Republican party is
an enigma. But it ought not to be
so. A careful perusal of the records
of the two parties ought to convince
even a Democrat that the Negroes
adhesion to the Republican party is
simply verifcation of the old max
i'm that "self- preservation is Natures
first law" Did not the Democratic
party uphold and defend slavery with
all the power that was in it? Did
not the Democratic party resist eman-
cipation by resort to arms, and by
every other means at it's command :?
Did not the Democratic party North,
South, East and West oppose in ev-
cry way possible the enfranchisement
of the Negro and the enactment of
the civil rights laws which made him
the political equal of the white man :?
Who but the Democratic party en-
acted the fugitive slave law, and made
the freemen of the North slave catch
ers for the beastly traficers in human
flesh of the South? Who made the
Black Laws of Indiana, by which the
Negro was characterized as raven
Gus wild beast, forbidden to enter the
State, hunted and bounded from pill
lar to post, his property confiscated;
his children doomed to poverty and
ignorance, and himself made vaga-
bond and an outcast upon the face of
the earth? The Democratic party
did all this, and more. The Demo
cratic party has contested every inch
of progress that the Negro has ever
made in this country. In the South,
where the Democratic party is in the
ascendancy, the Negro is deprived of
his political rights by force and
Northern Democrats apologize for
their Southern brethren, and de-
TEND them on every occa-
sion. We distrust the Demo-
cratic party; not only on account OF
the record it has made, but because it
has never renowned that record or
discarded the leaders under whom
it was made. The men who declared
that slavery was divine institution
and drew their swords in defense OF
the heresy, are the honored leaders
of the Democratic party to-day.
1t is claimed that the Southern
whites accept the results of the war,
but their actions belle their words.
Wherever and whenever the old rebel
element has come into power it has
signalized its advent by multiplying
by force or fraud the laws guarantee
ing political equality to the Negro.
The brutal, barbarous conduct of the
Southern whites toward theI enfran-
chised colored people will form one
of the blacklist pages in American
history.
Gen. Hancock spoke some brave,
manly words in regard to the Con-
stitutional Amendments; but in no
Democratic State or National plat.
form have such sentiments ever been
found. With both Houses of Con.
gress Democratic and the Supreme
Court reconstructed, Gen. Hancock
would be powerless to resist the on
slaught of the Infatuated bandits Of
the South who are bent on the over.
throw of the legislation which made
the Negro voter and an equal.
In view of these facts and of the
real dangers which threaten us as 8
race, no colored man can afford te
support the Democratic party.

about IS deg; and the risk of getting
chilled by leaving the comparatively
warm houses and by sitting or driving
in the cool night air, is far greater in
Kingston than in the country. This
should be borne in mind by the resi-
dents in Kingston as well as by their
visitors from the country"
The low temperature at night is
perhaps caused by the land breeze
which blows from the mountains but
it is not easy to see why Kingston
alone should feel the effects of this
breeze, and not the country" also,
or why Kingston should feel it in SO
much greater a degree. In n

THE CZAR'S NEW STEAM YACHT
"LLVADl A."
From the Times

On Wednesday 7'h July The Livadia, the new
Russian Imperial VA Chit. was launched from the
building yard of Messrs. John Elder and Co.
Govan near Glasgow. 1t will be remembered
that her predecessor, also the Livadia, was
wrecked about two years ago. The Cars new
yacht is in every way remarkable. To say no.
thing OF the extraordinary comfort and luxnr Of
the accommodation designed for The Emperor and
his suite, the vessel ia noticeable from a purely
nautical point of view. She is the latest de-
velopment of ideas that may fairly be said TO
be revolutionary and subvers;ve of all estah-
lished principles Of shipbui,ding, and of which
the earlier specimens are found only 10 the cir
cular ironolads of Admiral Popof. Those
ships have many fighting qualities that entitle
them to respect, but they are not possessed of
great speed. Hitherto the most visionary
naval architect has always endsavoursd to
achieve exceptional speed in one way only-by
giving ois vessels very great length and the
most perfect hneness and proportion of the
perpendicular lines. The new Channel, steam.
er the Albert Victor is an example of Thu kind
OF vessel. 1t is clear. however, that an Impe.
rialayachs ought to be more agreeable as a
residence than any existing seaeoing steamer.
and 1t seems probable that the Constructors Of
the Livadia have solved in a novel manner tha
nroblem OF combining speed with the spacious

THE MAORIES OF NEW YEA
Ian D.

A recent census of New Zealand has 70
vealea the fact that the Maorles are RAPID
" decreasing, and it is quite possible Ihas
a generation or so may find them exterml'
mated altogether. The causes gwen 10,
this national decay are love OF drink, BAD
food and clothing, unwholesome dwellings
neglect of cleanliness. and generally low
social habits. In 1861 the Maories were
estimated at 55,336. but since then they
have decreased TO 1885, or about ~ per-
cent. in II years. The natives OF Hawai-;
however, are showing q still more raPlu
destruction, for they have decreased from
57,125 in 1866 to 43,OSS in 1878, or 81 Inc
rate of % per cent. in II years, or So4 PEI
cant. for II years. In their case the ms
chief is fastened by the prevalence OF repro,
sy. The Registrar-G General OF New Zealana
is not very sanguine as to the recovery OF
the Maories from their downward career;
for, apart from their deficiency in mora.
qualities necessary to arrest. the process ca
decay. the history of abcrigines invariably
shows an inability to graft the habits ol
civilization on native habits and customs

It may be mentioned that the breadths of her
keelless bottom greatly increased the friction
that had to be overcome, and made the launch
a task of more than common anxiety. Fortu.
nately, no difficulty wa experienced and no
accident occurred. After the launch the
Grand Duke and the Duchess of Hamilton aud
some others of the visitors made the tour Of the
yard and examined the Livadia's engines and
boilers. At the luncheon, at which Mr.Pearce,
