GREAT BRITAIN'S SLAVES.

Only 4 Few Left, but the Government
Isn't Disposed TO Emancipate Them.
Slavery exists yet in more than one
odd corner of the British empire, but
the government is letting it die out of
its own accord rather than hasten the
process. The latest Information on the
subject comes from Mr. Monsoon, assist
ant secretary in the British East Africa
administra ton. The institution lives
only in strip of ten miles wide, along
the coast governed by the Sultan of
Zanzibar, and is dying out. any way.
as the administration frees any ill
treated slave and as no more sales are
held Freeing many slaves at one time
has proved unsuccessful, however, as
many of those liberated by the Church
Missionary Society returned voluntari-
ly to their masters, SO it is said, and
very few settled down to honest. regu-
lar work.
Free labor is hard to get. but the

NeWport's Social Decay.

The Decay of Newport is the title
of an unnecessarily savage article in
the Chicago Chronicle. A philosopher
OF Chicago or anywhere else would
seem to nave some reason for inferring
that Newport is dragging the bottom
of its resources as capital of fashion
when it has become necessary for a
social performer to appear in its public
places with ''wrist-bag'' dangling
his arm as d means OF reviving its
spirits and giving a spice of novelty to
its rather monotonous and tiresome l:fe.

LINCOLN'S VIEW OF MEADE AND
PORTER.

On the afternoon CT the reception al
ready mentioned. while I stood near
Abraham Lincoln, Gen. Meade came il
and was rapidly advancing toward the
president. Lincoln's eyes flashed. Turn
ing toward me, his head thrown back,
he said: There, Gen. Meade has just
come in" With q tinge of bitterness in
his voice. he continued: And that is
the great general who ought to have
cut the rebel army tC pieces at Falling
Waters. and didn't do it, More than
once afterward Mr.. Lincoln recalled TO
me that conversati ton. He never chang
ed his opinion on great national ques-
tons or about any great general in my
hearing. and I recall his criticism.
memorable and historical one. On Gen.
Fitz-Jchn Porter:
"Fitz-John Porter is a traitor-that
question does not admit of argument"
And in criticising Gen. Meade ne. the
sweet-souled martyr of Springfield,
never failed to do justice to the
achievements of the hero of Gettysburg
It was of that battle I have heard Lin =
coin speak these words:
"Of the two great efforts TO ensI4ve

A Chimericai Scheme.

press dispatch from Troy, New
York, states that through a movement
organized by the Rev. Henrcy Duckrey
of Cambridge. Mass, 100000 negroes
will have emigrGt ted from the south to
the New England states within the
next three years. 1t is explained that
the work Of arranging for the migra
ton has been carried on secretly by
the Northeastern and Western Immi
grafton Society," of which Mr.. Duckrey
is president. The money is said to have
been subscribed by wealthy men and
women who believe that this scheme
is the safe and sure solution OF the
negro problem In all probability
there is much exaggeration in the
story. bat it is possible, of course, that
funds for such an undertaking have
been guaranteed by benevolent people
of wealth.
Any benefit which the scheme may
carry to the negro will depend alto
gether upon the manner in which it is
carried out If the southern blacks are
to be transported to eastern cities, the
result would be curse to the negroes
as we'll as to the communities to which
they are taken. In all the pcrplexing
elements of the negro irCblem' at
least one fact stands out clear-namely
that the average negro, in his present
state of development, is not adapted to
oil hi
training have fitted him for agriculture
and fer unskilled labor, and for but
little else. Not only the leaders of the
Colored race, but the negroes on the
southern plantations, recoEnize-we
were about TO say insuIctively recog-
nize-the unfitness of the race for the
temptations and environment which
fail to the lot of the colored man in the
city. the derision with which his fell
lows on the plantations speak of him
as town niger" voices their belief
that he has fallen below their level,
although they may at times envy his
"biggity' ways. There is, to be sure,
a steadily widening field for educated
negroes of good character in all the
cities. New occupations are opened to
them each year, and they are earning
the respect CT the white people Every
city and town has its examples of the
thrifty, educated, respectable and re-
spected negro. Not a few are to be
found in Phoenix. But it is undeniable
that the great mass of negroes, if they
could only have educational advantages
in the south, would be infinitely better
situated there as laborer5 on the farms
and in the lines for which they have
shown ready adaptability than they
would be in strange and poorly under
stood surroundings in the north and
east.
Were ii not that the New England
climate is a terror to the colored race.
it might be practicable. indeed, TO find
openings for many thousands of indus
trious negroes on the abandoned farms
of the New England states. But under
the hest circumstances we doubt if any
movement TO make Massachusetts or
negroes could hive 4 permanent sue
cess.
The plan of the Rev. Duckrey, like
all other projects for cplonizing south
ern negroes. appears to be chimericaI.
1t seems more ana more evident that
the salvation of the negro must he
worked out in the south.

CURRENT COMMENT
Gen. Miles Criticized by an Admirer.

The disputes and determinations
which cast cloud on the reputation of
General Miles during the closing years
of his active service as commanding
general were unfortunate also in re-

weaknesses: and we have been compell-
I'd to crit.c-se his conduct with severity.
