complained of this minor accident,
and the company promptly punished

had the engineer run slowly around

If BLACKS SHOULD RISE.
Negroes il Africa Vastly outnumbe

Negroes in Africa Vastly Outnumbe
White People in Dark Continent.
New York Mail and Express: This
sentence has not infrequently been ut
tered, and nervously uttered, in Africa,
The whites on that continent, even in
Dutch and English South Africa, are in
m absurd numerical minority. In Cape
Colony itself, the oldest and best set
tied European province, there are but
Ss2,19s whites to 2,11S,437 blacks. No
such disparity exists IN any part Of our
American "black belt" In Rhodesia
upward Of 100000 warlike blacks Of
the strongest sort, including the fierce
Matabele. In Natal there are 1905
whites to 0 6,512 Zulu-Katf1rs. In most
Of German Africa, and, of course, the
whole Of the continent ~northward to
Algeria, the disparity is greater still.
In the Warmbad district of German
Southwest Africa, whence only yester-
day we had news that another German
outpost q been o~verpoWered and
m~assacred, there We're at asst accounts
1918 white persons mostly Beers who
have trekked there, to 10000 blacks.
Yesterday, too, we had news, as yet
unconfirmed, but very likely true, Of
the massacre of a White missionary
and his community of eighteen con-
verts in the hitherland of Liberia. The
scene Of this deed is significant. If the
news is true, for if the black ava
lanche is ever let loose in Africa 1t
will undoubtedly be by the hand OF
some black who has been inspired by
thoughts of black rule and independ-
ence, such as those hat prevail in Ii
IBERIA. No such native avalanche ever
hung over the heads of ever the few
white settlers in the American colonies
In the early day, for the American will
derness was V peopled by such
hosts of vag as fill the African
veldt and jungle.
For the attempt, at leaat, nothing Is
wanting but the Toussaint POuvreture,
the determined and able black leader
who can organize the diverse and mu-
tually foreign nations and tribes and
inspire them with a common motive Of
revolt. No such leader Is in sight. Yet
a negro King Philip, a negro Pontiac,
a negro Tecumseh, the stamp Of whose
foot upon the earth may some day be
heard in the earthquake, Is neither in
conceivable nor impossible.
We may understand the uneasiness
of South African whites Over this Hot
tentot instruction. German rule is
sufficiently oppressive to light the
flame If anything will do it. The Hot,
tentots are a widespread nation. A,
general black insurrection must result.
in horrible massacres. Yet there could
be but one final result for it, as there
was but one possible result for the!
general wars in America. The thou
sands of whites, with their
and organization, would prevail, and
more sternly than ever against the
million Of blacks.
