EXECUTIVE MANSION, MoNRovIA, LIBERIA.
vast opportunities in Africa, there shall be
the leavening influences Of that force for good
government and better morality and personal
industry and trained powers which make q
great state-this is today as never before the
calling OF this society. 1t has new tasks to do.
1t must have new methods with which to do
them. 1t may have lost somewhat the con-
fdence and somewhat more the interest which
once attended upon it. But if 1t cannot quite
recover them it can at least begin to deserve
them by seeking SO to use its resources and its
opportunities as to give African men and
women who have noble aspirations the noblest
sphere for them, and transform Africa
by planting it with those who have
themselves learned how to do worthy
work with worthy tools. The day, Of
indiscriminate colonization has long
ago gone by. The work of this society needs
henceforth be multum non multa in the mat
ter of those whom it sends to the Liberian
coasts-'not quantity, but quality 1t is not
enough to build colleges or to erect churches.
In the one and in the other there must be the
voice OF the living teacher who has learned to
lead and to quicken, to guide and to encourage
in no mean or unworthy way. In Q word, 1t 10
the force Of q finer manhood for which Africa
most Of all waits today. Let us be willing At
any rate, 80 far as we can command ii, to give
1t to her. Amid all the growing interest and
often feverish eagerness to conquer these new
wildernesses let 1t be the Office Of this society
to seize its chance to bear to Africa men and
women who are well equipped to lay founda-
tions, to build a society, TO open path for the
light and the truth, and SO to make straight in
the desert at least one more enduring highway
for the King and the kingdom that are to be!'

The Michigan state senate yesterday after
noon passed bill repeating the Miner electoral
law, which provides for the election Of presi-
dental electors by districts, and under the
workings Of which Grover Cleveland received
five Of Michigan's electoral votes in the recent

The constitutionality of the act was sustained
by the state and federal courts, but its effect is
to divide the electoral vote Of the state, which
is usually safely republican.

NEW POLICE STATION.
Plans Not Yet Completed-The Charity
Building.

Plans Not Yet Compieted-The Charity
Building.
The plans for the new Central Police
Station are not as nearly finished as it
was expected they would be at this time.
There have been plans made for the
several floors of all the buildings which
are to be included on the spacious lot
corner of Fountain and Beverly sire Is,
but these plans are subject to several
taking plenty of time in the matter so as
to have as thoroughly equipped station
as can be built.
The com mittee has visited several sta
tions in Boston which are considered the
most modern in that city, but not one OF
these seemed to answer the requirements.
Many good ideas were secured, and the
result will be n station which will have
the advantage OF many other experiments
in the same line of building.
In many respects the Sixth Police Sta
tiou in this city is the finest building
which the committee have examined but
some changes were necessary to adapt
the plans to the needs Of u Central Sta
tion.
The front elevation on Fountain street
will present the appearance of three
separate buildings, as they practically
are, only connected with archway
through which vehicles may pass to the
courtyard which will be situated in the
centre Of the lot.
The police station will be on the corner
OF Beverly. Next will come the ward
room and Sixth District Court room, and
on the western end of the lot will be sit
uate the charity building. This latter
building has caused the greater part OF
the delay in the plans as II was not at
first decided to put this building on the
lot and when IL was so decided change
of plans was of course necessary.
Since the drafting of these plans
changes have been found to be necessai y
and today one of the members OF the
drafting architects Is in Boston partially
for the purpose Of looking into the plans
of A similar building there. IL will prob
ably be several weeks before the plans
are completed.
