Captain Luggard, in his latest report to lie
Imperial British East Africa Company, refers
among other things to Il v,Iaj q|sastign Of
domestic slavery. His cJ42sc aa u & iacts Of
the Sultan Of Ianzibgr foual e9soYel in
Uganda was clear. AL sl3h persons we're
at once declared free ald provided with a
pass in the following form $3.50 he hesr8r
, being a subject o. tie Sultan 81 Ztazi-
bar, found in slavery il Uganda, Is hereby
set free IN accordance with fs8 agreement
dated March 81, 1892" As to domestic sia-
very, the Protestant Waganda daolaled their
willingness ito abandon it wh9nevor Cap ain
Lusard sees fit, whSrsupon Captain Lugarl
remarks -
So far, however, as my observation goes,
domestic slavery among the Christians in
Uganda approximates rather to a system Of
sortdom, or a feudal system, than TO what in
Europe Is conveyed by the idea Of slavery
Such a system is possibly as good a one, in
the ordinary development Of our carly civil
%lzation, as any other if indeed it is not (as
would appear from he history Of our West
ern civilizations a natural stage in tbs evolu-
ton from savagery to civilization. 1t has
theref0rs its advantages III the prevention OF
ldIeness, the enforcing Of respect for rank,
which alone enables the government Of "A semi
savage county to be carried on. In any case
felt it premature to deal with the question
at the moment, psndIng The return Of the King,
the settlement OF the county, end a more com
plete inquiry into he status Of the domestic
slave in Uganda, and the effect such q ~revolu,
ton would produce on the various social ques-
tons involved. Premature and hasty legisla- +,
ton, based on inadequate knowledge Of The
result involved, and without clear conception
OF the system which should supers9de the one
to be abolished, might only be expected to
result in unforeseen and possibly deplorable
contingencies. Nor would it, under any cir
cumstances, in all probability, have been
advisable for one only Of the three parties to
adopt so sweeping a measure. II would there
fore be necessary FIRST to ascertain how far
the other two parties were ripe for such a
reform, supposing it to be indeed q reform, Of
which, in the present state of the develope-
ment Of the country, | am very doubtful. I
therefore praised their intentions, but post
poned any decisive steps in the matter pro
tenn.
As to the possibility Of Uganda becoming
a market for European wares, Captain Lugard
writes with Characteristic caution. He is en-
phatic in his opinion that the immediate pro-
spects of a railway finding a profitable carry
ing trade are not great, but be is equally en-
phatic in backing up the views so forclbiy
expressed by Mr.. Stanley as to the future
possibilities Of the country, possibilities which
a railway would do much to develop =
At present, between the coast and the
lake, there is very little demand, for among

Pears
Soap

To keep the skin clean
is to wash the excretions
from it off; the skin takes
care of itself inside, if not
blocked outside.
To wash it often and
clean, without doing any
sort of violence to it, re-
quires a most gentle soap,
"a soap with no free al
kali in it.
! Pears is supposed to
be the only soap in the
world that has no alkall
in it.

all sorts of people use it.

trunk hose q man and bis wife would

letter to the Spectator in the following
account of hoops: "Since her with.
drawing from the place the fair sex
are run into great extravagancies,
Their petticoats, which began to swell
and heave before you left US, are now
blown up into o most enormous con-
cove, and rise every day more and
more. As the humor Of a sick person
is often driven out of one limit
into another, their superfuity
of ornaments have fallen from
their heads to their lower parts.
What they have lost In height they
make up In breadth, and contrary to
all rules of architecture, widen the
foundations at the same time that
they shorten the superstructure."
"The hoop" he says, "hss been
known to expand and contract itself
from the size of o butter churn to the
circumference of three hogsheads; Mt

A Famous Pope.

Montreal Gazette.
Innocent III. whose new tomb
was unveiled in tie Basilica OF st.
John Lateran on December q, was
one of the most remarkable of the sue
cessOrs of st. Peter. A member of
the house ofconti(the Counts of SeaDi)
he was only 81 and still IN minor or
ders when the assembled Cardinals,
on the death of Celestine I'LL, In jan
uary, 1893, pressed the papal dignity
upon him. He was then known as
Lo THAR, Cardinal of So. Sergiuf and
Bacchus, having been raised to q
place in the Sacred College in his
9th year, while still q sub deac n.
He had employed his leisure In the
composition of treaties-one of them
contempt Of the world; an
other of more signific ance, as affec
ting his career, on the sacred Dys'
terry of the altar. In this work he
had taken the highest ground as to
the prominence of st. Peter over the
other apostles. He had now an op-
portunity of putting his principals
into practice and in doing 30 he was
at once bold and wary. He made a
good beginning by reforming his own
househoid-retrenchi the luxurious
OUTLAWS of t he papal court. His next
step was to make himself supreme
In the City of Rome by having the
citizens take osths of allegiance to
him self IS urban project. He then
undertook to supplant the imperial
authority in the other italian cities
and to transfer the suzsrainty of
Southern Italy from the Emperor to
the Pope. In bringing about the
separation of Sicily from the empire
he awaited himself OF racial antipath-
les. In the rivalry between Philip
III. and Ohio Nv. he espoused the
cause OF the latter, and after Philips
murder and Otho's marriage TO his
niece he crowned him Emperor "by
the grace of God and the Apostolic
See.n The unlimited supremacy of
the papacy over all the Governments
of Christantdom was his constant
aim, and he was ruthless in apply
ing the pressure of his spiritual pow
or He humbled the kings of France.
England and Spain, encouraged the
military orders and the crusading
spirit, brought Eastern patriots and
prelates to his great Fourth Leternal
Council, which dealt with all the
chief quests of the time, and left
the Roman See at it's eliminating
point of influence when he passed
away in the ripeness of his faculties
in the 55th ye ar Of his age and the nine
teenth of his pontificate. The Church
may we'll do honor to Innocents

Politics i'm Rice.

Mr.. Editor "A prominent citizen
of the parish complains to me that
himself and neighbors are very much
puzzIed about a singular coincidence
regarding their rice shipments.
Every one lately belonging to a Ger.
tain faction Of the Democratic party
has received returns from their rice
all being shipped about the same
time and to the same merchants
while those who happened to belong
to the opposite faction have heard
nothing from theirs and are unable
to get any satisfaction as to the de-
lay in making sales. This is surely
. very remarkable state of affairs
and while / am 10th to believe that
politics can have anything to do
with ii yet these gentlemen are firm
