There is no sort Of fairness In class

TIE British in Afrioa.

Students Of British colonization policv-

velopments before accepting the conclu.
sion that in the recent collision on the
Zambesi between the British and the Por-
tuguese, the latter were the sole agrees

Isolated incident it might be passed over

Natal cablegrams would have us believe,
by an effort on the part,o of a Portuguese
telegraph corporation to derive pecuniary
benefit from 3 British telegraph company
which Is building line across Portuguese
territory. For over two centuries the Por-
tuguese have practically existed In Africa
by levying tribute upon everything that
came in their way. They have made 10
effort to develop or civilixe the interior
OF the country. but planted. an they have
been along the coast they have sysfe-

at first blush the Port Natal story would
seem very plausible.

The Richmond Dispatch OF recent date
attacks Grand Master Sovereign's scheme
of deporting the negroes of this country
10 Africa. 1t shows that this scheme
is utterly impracticable. The Spirit says
that we would have just as much right TO
insist that all naturalized Englishmen, or
Irishmen, or Germans should be deported.
The idea is utterly absurd and impracti-
cable, and we well remember that 1t was
proposed over twenty years ago by the
late Hon. A. II. II. Stuart. OF Siaunton,
when the good sense OF the people soon
gave 1t a quietus .-Harrisonburg Spirit.
The late Colonel f. G. Rufiin wrote
perhaps the abest paper which has ever
appeared In favor OF the deportation OF
the negroes 10 Africa. But the single fact
that 1t would be impossible 10 deport an
nually as many negroes as are born an
nually makes the scheme utterly i'm
practicable. We have the negroes and
must do the best we can for and with
them. Their emancipation followed the
success OF the Union armies in the war
between the States. II they had been sent
out OF the country as we'll as emancipated
the double blessing would have made the
southern States the garden-spot OF the
world.
