The Germans are said to be importing
very large quantity OF trade rum into East
Africa 1t is to be hoped that the big profits
in this business do not figure foremost among
the causes that have aroused their colonial
activity. The recent Antl-slavery Conference
has. it is understood, declared that crusade
against the rum traffic as we'll as the slave
trade Is to be waged by the powers that ratify
its proceedings. The need was never SO great
as to-day. In the past year and half Boston
alone has sent to Africa over 1.25000o gallons
OF rum. and Hamburg swells the total exports
to an appalling figure.

Sister Rose Gertrude. who has devoted her
self to work among the epers OF the Sand
wich Islands, is still at Kiihi. the reception
hospital recently established by the Govern
mont near Honolulu. AMI It is probable that
she will remain there for some time II not per-
manently. 1t is TO this hospital that persons
suspected of leprosy are examined before
being sent TO die Mt Molokai, the leper island.
They remain at the hospital sometimes for six
months. and frequently die there. Sister Rose
Gertrude is the only white nurse al the place,
and is the principal assistant OF the doctor in
charge. Her only help is that OF unskilled
natives, and she is SAID to lie very much over
worked. She writes to her Brooklyn friends
that although not on the lerer island Itself.
she is experiencing to the full the horrors
which she fOrcsaw. Two persons had already
died in her arms OF the dreadful disease. She
says that she has received the most generous
reception from all whom She has mot, and that
the doctor in charg" OF the receiving hospital
is so pleased with her work that he Insists that
she shall remain there, at any rate. until the
Government ~ able to furnish some one to
supply her place. In company with the Cow
eminent Board of Physicians she has visited

There has been fair fight for the Demo-
cratic nomination In Pennsylvania, and the
result should leave no soreheads.
PATT1soN and BLACK: both good men,
both men good Democrats, both candidates
whom every Democrat in Pennsylvania can
support, and will support.
The Democratic ticket in Pennsylvania Is
the tidal wave ticket Of 1882, the only Demo-
cratic ticket that has been elected In that
State since the river Styx froze over.
That Is good omen. Perhaps another
Democratic tidal wave Is due this year. 1t
is time for one.
At any rate there ought to be lively, old
fashioned, hopeful canvass for PATTIsoN and
BLACK; and as the first step toward victory
we respectfully suggest that the Hon. WILL
LIAM UNPARALLELED HENsE1 be put In
