Easements tour was to have lasted six months
but after the scenes he witnessed and the in
formation he obtained in the first two months
the consul decided that further evidence was
unnecessary
The report which Mr.. Easement is now prepar-
ing for the Foreign Office will show that the
most horrible outrages are still being perpe-
trated under the rubber regime" and that
slavery and barbarism in their most revolving
forms still exist.
The Easement party travelled over thousand
miles from the coast. along the Congo and it's
tributaries. visiting the Abr and LuIonga rub
Der zones. Pending the delivery OF the report
to the Foreign Office, the investigators refuse TO
furnish any details. but a member of the mis-
sion summed up the situation by saying:
The most terrible slavery exists. the admin
istration is atrOcious. and II there is speedy
Intervention it will be too late"

move to idolize and ovate the memory of
Henry Ward Beecher in New York. 1t
has been -four years since he sent
old John Brown to take the arsenal at
Harper's Ferry and raise an instruction
among our negroes. What did they wait
so long for? How came old Grover Cleve-

to command his admiration? He got old
Brown to take all the risk, and he and
thirteen Of his comrades were hung for
it, and the negroes wouldn't rise at all.
Beecher and his sister did more to pre-
cipitate the terrible war than all other
causes combined. Is old Grover 1auding
him for that? The lecherous old scoun-
drel dcbauched the wife Of an elder In
his church and ruined his home and his
