NEW OCEAN SETTLEMENT.
Forty Men Now Living on Christina as Island

Forty Men Now Living on Ch t8t m as Island
Which Was Said % be Worthless.
There Is no speck in the ocean big
enough to set foot on where men are
not settling down nowadays, if they
think there is chance of making a
little money. This is how it happens
that about forty men are living to-day
on Christmas Island. one of the lone
liest spots in the Indian Ocean, about
200 miles south of Java. The island
is shaped something like dumb-bell.
is about ten miles long and in its wild
est part has width of about five
miles.
In 1887 the British surveying vessel
Flying Fish was ordered to make an
examination of the islands. 1t found
an anchorage in one of the little bays
and a number of men We're landed.
They reported that the island was of
little value, and no serious attempt at
exploration was made. A few years
later it was discovered that rich beds
of phosphate of lime are on the island.
and in 1896 Mr.. Andrew Ross. brother
of the man who owns the COcos Keel
ing Islands. made the journey to
Christmas Island and decided that
money was to be made by settling
there. He went back for his family
and 4 few men from COcos and then
returned to the island. Near the
shores of Flying Fish Cove a number
of substantial houses have been erect
ed. Wells have been sunk and fruit
trees and cocOanut palms planted.
and small experimental plantation
of coffee has also been made. The re-
suits thus far leave no doubt that the
island is we'll suited for coffee grow
ing. In May, last year, Mr.. Ross had
JUST imported number of coolies
from Java to make the necessary prem
arations for working the valuable de-
poSits of phosphate of lime. The pop-
ulation then numbered abou. forty.
Most of the island is covered with
forest. Its climate is delightful. and
during the greater part of the wear 20
semhles a hot summer tempered by
sea breeZes. In the rich phosphate
soil the trees grow TO great height
Animal life is seldom abundant on
oceanic islands. and Christmas Island
is no exception. There are only five
species of mammals. two kinds of
rats schrewmouse and two bats.
! The presence of the rats and tho
mouse must be accounted for by SUD-
posing that they drifted to the island
on hoating wood. while the bats
reached it by flight Owing to tho
abundance of food and the absence of
enemies, the rats swarm everywbere
Birds or passage appear in the rainy
season, anu include many varieties.

Neither Negro, German nor
Irish daily newspaper can succeed
in Washington. The latter two
have been tried and the fact that
they are nil today is a verificatlon
that our prophesy concerning the
prospective negro daily is Correct.
But first class daily newspaper
which Will defend the negro when
he needs defense and which will
show up his good as we'll as his
bad traits is entirely different
thing. Such newspaper could
succeed here and would receive
more support than any journal
now being published inthe city.
But a distinctive negrodaily never.

THE WHITE MANS BURDEN

Much is being said about the
"white ans burden" The inter-
probation of this paradox is that
the white people of this country
have assayed to take upon them
selves the task of civilizing and
chrlstianizing all Of the races not
Anglo-Saxon. This is indeed a
herculean task and for abyious
reasons. In the first place the
people of this country have not
demonstrated their ability to apply
the principles of justice and christ
ianity to all of the people within
their Immediate limits. There are
millions in the United States to
whom justice and humanity are
denied They are not permitted to
enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit
OF happiness even IN moderate
degree. The spirit that 81 am
better than thou, because | am
Whl:e," he's pervaded the entire
South and is fast making its way
northward, the effect of which is
to persecute those whom God has
tinctured with the "livery of the
burning SUM-" This spirit is born of
arrogance and deep prejudice
which blind the whites to the
merits Of other races and the depths
of degradation from which they
themselves have sprung. Hence
the self-appointed mission to hu
manIze other races will not be
successful unless the operators
depart from their unchristirn
moorings and adopt the motto of
the Great Master, "Peace on earth
and good will toward all men,"
The burden" SO. called is not
one to be bourn by the whites. If
they were only just and fair toward
other races the burden would soon
drop from their shoulders and the
people would progress along all of
those lines which under the law of
ASSOCIATION are calculated to make
people prosperous and happy, The
burden is actually with the colored
people. They are compelled to ad-
vance, encountered by the preju-
dice, hostility and opposition of
the whites, Unload the colored
people from this incubus, give all
a fair chance in the race Of life
and neither tie whites ror blacks
can boast of a burden. The white
mans burden is his want Of chris
tianity, his prejudice, his greed.
his arrogance and false pride and
when they are removed the myth
ical burden viii disappear as mist
before the rising sun.
