Arab slave dealers in East Africa
are trying q new scheme to defeat
Europeans bent upon su~ppressing the
slave trade. 1t has been their practice
to treat their weaker captives with
great cruelty. They have now begun
the policy of kindness and indulgence.
The newly caught slaves are placed
in the care Of older bondsmen. re-
ceive plenty of food and drink, and
are encouraged in the most dissolute
and immoral practices. Thus grad
ually persuaded that slavery is really
a rather pleasant thing, they are taken
to the coast without chains or other
tokens that would betray their servile
condition. They are loaded with
merchandise, and under the name Of
porters beth men and women are
brought down to the sea in spite of
the interdict against this practice.
The Arabs take carc to tell their
victims most horrible stories of Europ-
al atrocities, and long before they
get to the coast all whites are odious
to the deluded blacks, and they do
not hesitate to tell every mi that
they are free, preferring to deny the
fact that they are bondsmen rather
than receive their freedom at the
hands of the whites. This is the story
the missionaries tell, and they add
that it is a perplexing matters nova
days to distinguish n newly caught
from a hired porter.

The New York Convention at Al
bany Of the Eclectic Medical Society,
OF which there are said to be $4,000
members in the country, has passed
these resolutions on capital punish
ment:
That the infection of the death
penalty is only excusable in a CON-
munity where no facilities exist for
securely conining those of the vio-
lent and dangerous classes who are
found guilty of crime.
THAT when the death penalty is
inflicted, it is the community rather
than the culprit that is punished"
The punishment to the community
springs from the publication Of the
reports of the execution, whereas
when the criminal is imprisoned he
sinks into a penance unshared by any
one. The argument is not so inter-
as the fact that the society,
counts nearly q Thousand
practitioners in New York. is pro-
nsanced in opposition to the death
penalty.

Judge Maynard is not the first
member of New York's Supreme
Court TO be disgraced. There were
two judges impeached about twenty
years ago under similar circumstan-
oes to these which surround May
nard now. At that time there was
great corruptionist in New York
known as Boss Tweed. lie controll-
ed the Legislature and the courts for
q time, and when the people drove
him from the country they ~necessari-
ly had to purge the Supreme Court.
The circumstances are similar now.
Tanmany has lifted up another boss
who stops at no form of corruption,
and while Dave Hill has net vet been
driven from the country as an exiled
criminal. he has made the Supreme
Court almost as notorious by placing
a corrupt judge on the bench. His
tory repeats itself.

This summer the United States will
have to face . most perplexing immi-
grafton problem. 1t is said that 40O.-

leave the Cars deminions as soon as
spring opens. No European country
will have them, and they will pour in
at the ever-open door at New York.
Such an influx of undesirable immi-
grants should not be allowed. We

the objection would be the same
were they Of another belief. They
are not the material of which intclli-

Mexico has the silver standard. The
following extract from a letter from
an American business man, now in
that country, will be of interest to all
who are studying the silver question:
Prices here are of course in Mexi-
a currency, and We get a constant
illustration of the beauties of the
silver basis. We get at any of the
numerous exchange offices SO per
cent premium on any kind of paper
money. The Mexican dollar is worth
IS cents, and is precisely at its value.
The American dollar is worth a third
more in exchange Qhe real difference
is about IS per cent? because it is
thus far held up to the gold standard.
Let the weight of silver in the cur
rency reach the point of breaking
down the devices that bind it to gold
redemption and the dollar would be
Mcxicanized ct once. Prices would
rise in proportion TO the shrinking of
the standard of measurement, and we
should be exchanging with Europe at
the Mexican discount. |
