The White Race.

We have never had any fears Of the
negro supremacy in this country which
certain sensational writers for senss-
tional magazines have proved by figures
10 be possibility if rot probability.
The white race is bound to "suryive "
all others as 1.-THE fittest." Malays,
Mongols, Negroes. and Indians, must
in thousand years or more give way
TO the Caucasian. So far as this coun-
try 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 a
few decades be vastly more numerous
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 population Of the
globe, they now constitute about 80
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 Ithe whitesl have, moreover,
if anything, increased in physical
strength, and have so developed in
brain, and consequent power Of organi-
cation, that it may be doubted if the
whole remainder Of mankind, even if !
all were reduced to equal weapons,
could seriously iniure the white third,
which again, if it chose to act together
and employ without pity the weapons
its intelligence has enabled it to con-
struct, could in few years reduce the
remainder of the world to an uninhab-
tied desert"
"The Chinese arc the only great race
remaining which can be said to be
ruly Independent and free from the
)redominating influence, more or less
lirectly exercised, of the energetic
White men, who pour in increasing
treams over the remainder of the
arth'S surface. They, indeed. alone
raverse the ocean. The Chinese keep
few ships; and few small
essels, manned by dark sailors,
lostly pirates or slavers, or pill
rim-caIriers, still hang about the
casts Of Southern Asia or Eastern
IfIica, but the fighting nayies of the
'orld, and its great transport ships.
nd its mercantile marine, are all alike
'hitc. No dark race could lombard a
'hte harbOr or transport an army
cross a hundred miles Of sea in the
ICE of prohibition from white men,"
At their present rate Of increase
ley Ithe whiteSl will in 1884 be a
iOusand millions, or much more than
ali Of then existing mankind"
"This world is the heritage of the
hite man, but there is lesson which
nglishmen will do well to think over 8
and, if they can, without +
aired in their hearts. They have no
ght to anger with the visible will Of God.
here is but one race on earth with
hem it behooves the Teuton in all his
ranches to keep friends. The supremacy

scollect, children may be born to-day /,
no will see the end, and then be
