The MORNING VIBRATOR.

Dear, ducky, darling morning
contemporary (you shall not beat us
in affectionate address, at any rate),
your "point" was evaded because
we had not microscope of suili-
cient power to discern it. If we
thought the public required the
further discussion of the question
at issue, however, we should have
reminded them that the Oceanic
Steamship Company has been pur-
suing an utterly selfish policy, with
out scintila of concern for the
commercial or social interests of this
country, ever since the cessation of
their regular fortnightly service.
That corporation raised expectations
of an intermediate steamship SER
vice, between Anglo-Australian mail
trips, time and again since then,
only to disappoint them. The hum
bug did not arise with the purchase
of the "tramps," or any dsarrange-
ment consequent upon that opera
ton. Long ago the BULLETIN sug-
gested the probable true inwardness
of sending the supplementary
steamers just ahead of the regular
liners, and until the self-constituted
apologist of the Oceanic Company,
or its paid advocates, show that
ventured explanation to have been
astray, it is "as unmanly as unjust"
to misrepresent journal that owes
naught except to the public, as being
an "eDemy" of any corporation of
common carriers, simply because we
have deemed it an act of faithful
ness to our sole masters, the public,
to criticise the service performed by
those common carriers, which violated
the terms of the very generous sub
sidy granted them by this kingdom.

given precedence Of execution by
our wonderfully paternal Govern
ment. Read in the light of these
facts, the suggestion" in question
has a suggestiveness of political
craft and official hypocrisy about it.
In addition to the information
given by the advertiser, regarding
changes in the Post Office, we learn
that Mr.. Fred. Wundenberg has
been appointed Deputy Postmaster.
Apart from the true inwardness Of
this gentleman receiving the office,
after it had been promised, posi-
lively, to another by promotion, the
appointment will not likely be quar-
relied with by the public. Mr..
Wundeoberg is man of great
energy and no mean business capa-
city, having withal a thorough
knowledge of the Islands. If his
activity and intelligence are given
fair scope, he may save the depart
ment from the incompetent manage
ment that might otherwise with
much reason be feared.

ELEVATE THE NATION.

Mr.. II. c. White, Professor of
Chemistry and Agricultural Science
in the University of Georgia, pro-
nounces the negro in the South
failure as a skilled laborer; and the
reason why he is such is that he is
improvident and unprogressive. He
is too easily satisfied; and content
ment, in his case, is one of the
basest vices. The mere possession
of animal life is the highest felicity
to which he seems to aspire. If he
wakes up in the morning alive and
can make any kind of shift to
extend the period of his existence
until the hour arrives for lying down
at night, he enjoys life about rs well
as if he were monarch of all he
surveyed. He can work, and work
well, but he is indefatigable in his
efforts to leave it alone. The thrift
lessness and improvidence Of the
negro are usually mentioned in con-
nection with his illiteracy. Ignor-
ance is, no doubt, contributing
cause of the low standard of ex-
istence that obtains among the
race, but ignorance is not all the
trouble. A race, crushed and
brutalized for long period of years,
cannot be expected to acquire, in
the course of single generation,
the self-respect and high toned in
dependence of spirit prevailing
among races accustomed to sway, to
a great extent, their own destinies.
That illiteracy is, by no means,
the progenitor of sloth and IMPROVE
dence is pretty fully demonstrated
in the history of nations in all parts
of the earth. Climatic conditions
have doubtless more to do with the
constitutional inertia of people than
the want of literary culture. If
activity depended upon literary at
tainments, the smartest men in this
kingdom would, of course, be the

EDITORIAL NOTES.

On our fourth page will be found
an article copied from San Fran
cisco paper, on economy in house,
keeping-a subject in which every
housekeeper is interested. Perhaps
there is nothing that affects a mans
prospects in life, as this one subject
of domestic economy. A mans
success or failure in too many in
stances may be attributed solely to
his extravaganza or economy in his
mode of living. The one ends in
poverty and its accompanying ills;
petence.

The following interesting informa-
ton, telegraphed from London,
March 20, was omitted from our
article of yesterday, on Pacific
Cable Prospects :"-"The Agents
General have discussed the scheme
of Sir Charles Tupper. High Com
missioner for Canada, in which he
proposes to lay down cable from
Vancouver's Island to Auckland;
also the question of new mail
service to Sydney in twenty-nine
days. The opinions of the meeting
on the subjects referred to were of a
sanguine nature"
