lists have pledged their aid. Ten times as many
have promised that large. vague, intangible in
terest which may be worth n good deal or moth
ing at all. The Army people depend on the sue
cess Of the trst few colonies to crystalline the
interest into practical aid.
1t is rather an interesting fact that the col
onization scheme has met with disapproval in
an unexpected quarter. 1t seems that the An
archists arc against il. When Tucker
visited London to confer with Gen. Booth and
the Consul about this :plan. he was repeatedly
told by the Anarchists that. IL he did not re-
linquish his scheme he would be the object of
their personal vengeance. The reason was
forthcoming. II, said the Anarchists, as they
have often said in regard to other matters Of
philanthropy, the rich. people attempt to anne
liOrate the condition of the poor, our denuncia-
tions of them will lose their effect and we can't
work our little camel Don't you dare to show
the rich people how to overcome the problem
of the overcrowded cities! We need the misery
Of the overcrowded cities in our business. We
want it for an object lesson. You let the poor
stay. there and we'll let you alone. II you
don't. Nevertherless. the colonization
scheme ia pushed.and the hopes Of its projectors
and promoters are daily growing brighter.
