Commenting on the gigantic evils attend-
iEc the liquor traffic in Africa. to which we
call attention on another page, the New
York Observer SAYS;
Tho only remedy for tho evil is the
growth of public sentiment in Europe and
America which will compel the Govern
ments having colonies in Africa to restrict or
prohibit the trafllc. and in concerted action
on the part of the local administrations
And II iS ON the trade side that pressure can
be cNertcd most effectively. For nothing
has been more clearly demonstrated than
that the trade in spirits destroys all other
trade. The native who buys liquor wants
nothing else. As the rum trallc grows, the
trade in general goods dminshes. the two
being unaterably opposed To each other.
II has beon found that roads cut TO promote
general trade have been deprived of all
value when used 60 advance the liquor ira iic

purely unsentimental point Of view, the un-
wisdom OF substituting onB demand for the
many certain To grow out OF advancing

trade, therefore. desiring to extend itself in
Africa is Interested in lighting the liquor
traffic in Africa; and such force, acting
with an aroused Christian sentiment. should
go far to wipe out the iniuuity Considered
only on It's trade side, there Is not doubt
that IL alcohol We're kept out Of Africa the
traffic developed in the native markets
would in time yield revenue to the Nations
many times greater than that now yielded
by tho liquor trade.

years unbcief has taken upon itself to pro-

Is to assert their own blindness and narrow
understanding. The age of miracles in n
new form has been renewed. In its material
interests and moral enterprises the world has
made greater advances In ours than in the
eighteen proceeding centuries, and all this
has been the creation OF Christian thought
aud enterprise. Christianity Is the Leverage
which Is lifting the world to n higher plane.
