Republicans can be candid on occa-
SION. They are preparing to make tho
tariff question the "ovcrshadowing is

with the outlook and would doubtless

to the dictation of their tariff burons,
says the ST. Louis Republic.
What the Republicans want and what
they need badly i'll their politics is a
genuine calamity. Tho country is too
prosperous. The growing crops are too
promising. There are too many advances

idle under Mckinley law, are resuluing
operations under the Democratic tariff.
They do not regard tho prospect with
serenity or comfort, and occasionally
their feelings overcome their prudence,
and they talk lis they feel.

Two Hundred Negroes Leave This
Country for the Land of Liberty.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 10
The first OF the immigration of
colored people from the southern
states to Liberia, was taken yester-
day by the departure from this
port for Savannah on the Danish
steamer Horsa, under Captain
Henry Wiburg. At Savannah, the
boat will take aboard 200 passen-
gers, who expect to make their
homes in the African republic.
Back Of the movement is the Inter-
national Migration society.
The society offered to send each
immigrant there for $4l. This in
cludes railroad fare from their
homes in this country to the port
OF sailing, passage to Monrovia,
Liberia and their support for three
months in Liberia, in which time
they are expected to have built
houses for themselves and started
in life. This offer resulted in Sc
curing over 5000 members, Of
which number about 800 have paid
their 81. Out of this number
about 200 have been selected to
sail. They include married men,
their wives and single men. Only
men Of good physical condition
and character have been chosen.
Upon her arrival in Liberia the
Harsa will endeavor to secure a
cargo to bring back to this country.
She will wait at a number of Afri-
can ports for this purpose. 1t is
expected that about forty days will
be consumed in the round trip, of
which eighteen will be taken on
the outward bound passage. 1t
will take until about Sunday to
reach Savannah, and on Tuesday
the load of hunters will be on their
way to Liberia.

ST. JOHNS, n. F., March 15.-At a
meeting of the opposition party
last night it was resolved that in
view Of the Importance and com.
plexity of the subject of union
with Canada, and the various pub.
lie interests to be protected, the
delegation to Ottawa should be
large and thoroughly representa-.
tive, and that the opposition would
not be bound by any doings of a

Waterways condition is un.
changed, and the prospect Of his
going to Ottawa in a fortnight is
