The White Race.

We have never had any fears Of
the negro supremacy in this country
VIII .ch certain sensational writer's
for sensational magazines have prov.
ed by figures to be a possibility if
not prob ability. The white race
lis bound to ''surviye' all others as
.'the fttest.' Malays, Mongols, Ne
proes, and Indians, must in thou
sand ys~rs or more give away to the
Caucasian. So far as this country IS
concerned, we have more than once
given facts and figures which ought
to satisfy any one that even in the
sunny South the whites must in
few decades he vastly more numer~
Gus than the negroes.
Our attention was recalled to this
subject by an interesting article OF
the London Spectators, in which it
| is shown that whereas two hundred
years ago the whites constituted
only about 10 per cent. of the popu-
lation o, the globe, they now consti-
tute about 33 per cent. When we
consider what countries and what
| sort of countries contain these whites.
and what countries and what sort Of
countries contain these inferior races,
we must be convinced that already
the white race dominates the globe.
The Spectator says:
"They [the whites have. moreover,
if anything, increased in physical
strength, and have so developed in
brain, and consequent power OF Or
eaniz alton, that it may be doubted
if the whole remainder Of mankind,
even if all were reduced to equal
weapons, could seriously injure the
white third, which again, if it chose
to act together AID employ without
pity the weapons its intelligence
has enabled 1t to construct, could in
a few years reduce the remainder of
the world to an unlnhabited desert"
The Chinese are the only great
race remaining which can be said
to be truly independent and free
from the predominating influence,
more or less directly exercised, Of
the energetic white men, who pour
in increasing streams over the re-
mainder of the earth's surface. They,
indeed, alone traverse the ocean.
The Chinese keep few ships; and
a few small vessels, manned by dark
sailors, mostly pirates or slavers, or
pilgrim carriers, still hang about the
COASTS of Southern Asia or Eastern
Africa, but the fighting navies of the
world, and it's great transport ships,
and it's mercantile marine, are all
alike white. No dark race could

sea in the face of prohibition from

cat their present rate of increase

thousand millions, or much more
than half of the then existing man.
kind
This world is the heritage of the
white man, but there is lesson which
Englishmen will do we'll to think over
patiently, and, if they can, without
hatred in their hearts. They have no
right to anger with the visible will of
God. There is but one race on earth
with whom it behooves the Teuton in
all his branches to keep friend. Ihe
supremacy of the white man will in
the end-and, recollect. children
may be born to-day who will see tue
end, and then be younger than Sir
Moses Montefiore the joint su-
premacy of the Teuton and the SlaV.
In 1884. when the world contains

600 of these will be English AID Ger
mans, aac sOO,000,O00 will be Slav."
