tween representatives of the European
nations that were engaged in the acqui-
sition of territory in Africa, it was pro-
posed to prohibit the importation OF
spirituous liquors into the dark conti-
nent, but the proposition was voted
down. English rum and German gin are
now running a race in the work of civil
izing the Africans. Both are doing ef-
fective if not good work in that direc-
ton. An African chief will sell his best
wife for bottle Of gin, or part with his
birthright for cask of rum. In this re-
spect the Africans are very similar to the
North American Indian in his pristine
glory.
