IN THE CONGO STATES
As Conditions Are Reported by the
Governor General.

Washington, July 14.-Conditions in
the Congo Free States as the Belgians
see them, are interestingly described in
a long report which Baron Moncheur,
the Belgian minister at Washington,
has received from the Governor Cen
eral of the Congo through the Secre-
tary of State of the Congo in Brus-
sells.
What the government has to say
about conditions in the Congo" said
Baron Moncheur to-day. "is not based
upon idle gossip, but upon facts which
he has developed by personal inquiry
and investigation.
."Of special interest is that portion
of his report which deals with the
courts. That the courts do their full
duty in protecting the natives from
wrong, the Governor General says is
clearly shown by the judgments re-
ported. He adds, however that the
Congolese bench has a difficult task in
weighing evidence, because the natives,
as a rule, without hesitation, offer as
evidence any story that may suit their
purpose.
In the effort to teach the native
to work. the government has issued
new decree in regard to the taxes on
labor of which mention is made in the
report of the Governor General. The
native is required to perform GER
tain amount of labor in return for the
protection he receives from the state,
and for this labor he is paid at the
usual rate of wages. The report
points out that this tax is one which
the native has no difficulty in paying
and constitutes one of the most inn
portant elements in the humanitarian
programme of the state.
ION this point the Governor Cen
erals report says:
" IT is evident. that in order to Sc
cure the collection of this labor tax
il is necessary to treat the natives
with paternal kindness. 1t is not by
terrorizing them. nor by chasing them
into the bushes, that the state can
obtain the manual labor which the
native alone can furnish in the tropics.

which is sometimes made against the
agents of the state, or of the compa-

fact Of the great increase in economic
prosperity. system which depopu-
lated the country and which drove the
natives into the bushes could not pro-

congratulated personally, I beg leave to
doubt. Your present position is so eX
allied and so manifestly congenial to
your tastes, and is filled with such dis

cannot justly be imputed to anything
except a patriotic sense of duty. That
fact will be appreciated by the intel
ligent voters of the country, and can
not but enhance your claim to their

Believing your candidacy auspi-
ciously begun by most striking proof
of fidelity to conviction, will be identi

success, 1 am, Sincerely yours,

Parker a lot of clippings from his pa

graduated the judge, and concluded as
follows
II shall go into the campaign before
us with a greater confidence of victory
than I have ever had before: not even
excepting the campaign of 1876"
