The London "Iimes" on the Race Problem.
The London Times this morning published
the concluding paper in remarkable series of
articles on the negro question in America. To-
days article proposes the adoption of a sys-

Africa the most suitable region for such
emigrants. The Times in an editorial on the

sure to offend many, both in America and
England, but the critics may fairly be called to
describe this alternative settlement as equally
permanent and honorable. 1t is an extreme

dition of affairs; but such, in the opinion of a
careful observer who has long been there, is
the condition of the southern states. The
gloomiest prediction as to the reconstruction
policy of the republicans have been fulfilled
and it is especially their duty to bestir them
