The Arab Dominion in Africa.

But the problem of Arab dominion is
not on the coast at all, but in the interior
of Africa. On the coast the European
states can make their influence felt, but
it extends no further than a narrow strip
of land, beyond which barbarism reigns
supreme. And here we arrive at one of
the most remarkable phenomena of the
age in which we live and the planet we
inhabit. The aboriginal inhabitants of
Central Africa are savages, sunk in hea-
thenism, afflicted by the evils and weak
nesses of savage life, and perhaps inferior
in mental and physical vigor to the
stronger races of mankind.
Over them has passed, like tempest
from the east, a horde of men of another
and stronger race, which marks them
out for slavery and destruction. The
Arab invasion of Africa is characterized
in every part to which Europeans have
penetrated by desperate valor in arms,
by an utter indifference to human life,
and, above all, by an enthusiastic and
fanatical belief in the faith of Islam.
They remind US of those ardent fol-
lowers of the prophet who, in the first
ages of Mohammedanism bore his blood
stained standard and his intolerant creed
from Spain to the confines of China, and
wellnigh overthrow the faith and civil
cation of the ancient world. Indeed. if
we are not mistaken, they are the same
men-the living inheritOrs of the pas
sions, the valor and the faith of the sol
diers of Mohammed.
Before the strength of the Christian
states they are now reluctantly compelled
to bow; but over the unarmed and untu-
tored native races of Africa they are SUI
preme. Accordingly, what we are now
witnessing in Africa, since it has been
partially opened to our view, is an amaz-
ing recrudescence and fermentation Of
Mohammedan power. On the Congo it
is not the native population, but the
bloodthirsty Arab slave dealers, who OPP
pose the progress of civilization; the ma
tives ask for protection from these for
midable tyrants.
On the Nile the fierce chiefs Of this
new warfare have made Khartoum a
seat of power and authority over the
neighboring tribes, for since the over
throw of the Egyptian government in
the south they are masters of the Sou
dan. The capture of that important po-
sition, and the defeat and death of the
heroic champion of civilization who per
ished there, were much greater events
than they even seemed 10 be at the time
they occurred; for they established a
power, whether it was that of the Mahdi
or any other name. which commands the
view.

How New York cabmen Are Used.

All the effects Of the former movement
for cheap prices have disappeared, and the
hackmen today are more outrageous in
their charges than they were four or five
years ago. One Saturday night there was
row in front of the Hoffman house be
cause an Englishnan, who hi just landed
from Cunarder, refused to pay s. for scab
which had carried him from the pier TO the
hotel. He said he was willing to pay q,
but he would not pay Is. About this time
porter interfered, gave the cabman s. 50.
cuffed him over the ears, and thus gave the
tourist an insight into the manner In which
cabmen are occasionally managed in the
metropolis Of the western hemisphere.-Ex-
change.
