would produce four times as much cotton

RARRAROMS HAYTL

Bishop Coke, of New York, who gives
in another column his views from rractl-
cal experience on the present feariully
degeneratcd condition Of the island OF
Hayt, attributes it () to the prevalence
of voudooism, which Bishop Holly con
iessed TO him had eaten into tho very
marrow Of their constitution and national
lie; t2) 10 corrupt form OF Chris
tianily; (3) to the barbarians who in
habit the mountains and threaten the pco-
pie of the low lands; az TO tho lack OF
good system of education; (j) the ex-
actions Of foreign governments who
have robbed the islanders and kept
them in state OF internal deple-
ton and dccadcnCo; and (0) the mis-
takes Of the unfortunate people in lcgisla-
ton and in their plans OF internal inn
proycment. TO cure these evils and make
the island Us productive for civilization us
It ought to be. Bishop Coke proposes a
protcctorate Of all the great Christian pow.
crs, our own included, or that we take it
wholly and altogether under our protec-
ton. This last might do, as it agrees with
our frequent declarations Of the Monroe
doctrine, but we doubt II the other sug-
gestion Of the Bishop could rs easily DO
agreed TO- namely, that We use the island
TO colonizc our intelligent negroes there.
Differences in language aud religion would
operate rs barrier TO anything
but n very, indeed the slowcsi
Of missionary efforts by them. They
would be like mere drop in the bucket
In the midst Of 80 much youdooism and
might fall victims to the npacily Of the
mouutaincor man-catcH The problem OF
llayti l. too difficult TO be solved in that
way. Il would take strong Government
controlled by white men, with large, well
equipped, well armed and mounted police
with plenty Of means and powcrtosupprcss
o. the European powers l2) kill youdoo-
ism; l3l establish true Christianity on a
firm basis aud 90 plant schools aud make
education compulsory. In this way and
this way only can llayll ever be- made as
useful TO civilization rs II ought 10 be.

Our contemporary is right. Railroading
is business that is followed by men who
understand il and they are steadily con-
contratng their strength on lines that pay
or can DO made to pay by good MANAGE
ment, and when additional lines are de-
sirable they are pretty apt to build them
without more than asking leave Of Legis-
lature. The roads that have been built
into this city since the war, except the
Mississippi River Road, now part Of the
Chesapeake x Ohio, have been built with
out State, county or city aid. They were
so many necessities to the people
Of the country along which they
ran and capitalists invested theiI
money in them confidently and have
no reason to regret 1t. Memphis and
Shelby County have had very bad ex-
pcricncc in this matter OF railroad subsidy
and are loaded with debt as a consequence.
But both have settled upon negative
policy in all such matters in the future
Just M the State has Aud il is this posi-
ton by the State that leads us to the con
cluson that the Legislature will not confer
the power TO issue bonds to railroads upon
the corporation OF Nashville. The gen
cral public sentiment Of the State Il
