IHE plan to erect monument to
Mouravieff, the hangman of Poland, at
Wilma is attributed to a purpose on the
part OF the Russians to inspire terror in
roland by recalling the punishment of
the Polish insurgents in 1868. The
square in which the monument is to be
put up witnessed the hanging of scores
o Polish prisoners, and the statue will

The latest plan to improve Il

The latest plan to improve the
draught of the furnaces of ocean steam
ers is to increase the height of the
smoke pipes. The new steamer Scot of
the Cape Mail line is provided with
smoke pipes 12o feet high above the
CRATES, being the loftiest pipes ever put
into steamer. A draught of three
quarter-inch water pressure is thus OBJ
tanned. all the steam needed is easily
secured, and the use of fans is dispensed
with. Her speed is 10 knots.

Apropos of this delusiye and vagrant
idea OF the probability or even possibil-
lty of Afro Americans emigrating to
Liberia, we would impress upon the
race the fact that American Negroes
are not fitted by experience or educa-
ton to cope with the hardships incident
to life in this death-impregnated
country. The conditions effecting Afro
American emigration to Liberia, so far
as Liberia is concerned. have changed
for the better, but only in small de-
gree. With health and capital applied
judiciously there is a possibility of
reaching comfortable living.
Those who go to Liberia without
money and expect to become wealthy
are deceiving themselves grossly. First,
there is but little money in the country,
and what there is is in the hands of a
few, and they hold it most jealously
Poverty keeps its grip on the majority
of the Liberians with relentless hold,
but this is not strange, for the laws of
the country seem to have been made
for the special purpose of keeping the
people poor White men are not per-
mitted to become citizens, neither are
they allowed to hold property within
the republic This being the case it is
extremely difficult to induce capital to
enter the country. sA-e-,
There is d feeling, however, which
every day grows stronger, that those
limitations must be done away with,
but until limitations which are so hurt
full to investment of money are re-
moved, Liberia is no place for emil
orators. The condition of the poor
there is deplorable in the extreme. and
this being true, why should the poor
emigrate to a place where the condi-
tions effecting advancement are so re-
strictive.
There is an erroneous opinion prevail
ing among the white people of the coun-
try, that is north of Mason & Dixon
line, that all the intelligence to be
found among Afro-Americans is pos
sessed by those living in the northern
states, and that nothing but ignorance
abounds among those living in the
southern states. A more palpably
wrong idea never existed in the minds
of men. Even with all their advan-
tages, privileges and rights, the Afro
Americans of the north are to great
extent behind their brothers in the
south. The flower of the race is to be
found in the southern states, and de-
spite all the advantages with which
they have had to contend with, the
southern Negro is to-day making more
rapid advancement in wealth and edu-
cation than their more favored brother
in the north. Furthermore, in nine
cases out of ten, you will find the sue
cessful Negro in the north was southern
born and reared.

Red Oak, Ia, is too far from the center
of Negro population to hold such con-
vention, and the good intentions of the
projectors will avail little because of
this distance. Such conventions should
be held in cities that are in close prox
unity to Negro population, and unless
this is done, no matter how meritorious,
the results of the deliberations will do
little good.
