A Black Peril In Africa.

The natives Of German West Africa
have shown themselves able to stand
up against the troops of the kaiser, and
recently the British government has
found it expedient to send an armed
force to the borders of Basutoland. For
more than year it has been evident
that the Introduction of Chinese labor
to supplant the blacks in the South AZ
rican mines and the high taxes Inn
posed by England upon the natives
would lead to general and concerted
movement Of the blacks.
The Basutos have a special griev-
ance against the whites in that the
British government has arrogated to
itself powers heretofore enjoyed by the
chiefs. The Basutos have powerful
neighbors, and besides there is a posi-
bility that the natives all over South
Africa may rise in sympathy with the
Basuto war party. Recently a gather
ing of natives was held in Cape Colo
ny, and speeches made there showed
a community Of feeling and a general
understanding between the warlike
races of South Africa which may well
cause anxiety to the few and scattered
white settlers.

Gently made that the historic frigate
Constitution (old Ironsides), now
crumbling with age, will not be al

The Constitution is now the Oldest

her that she may last another genera

The Millionaire n Politica.

In primitive times the man who got
rich by individual effort could Justly
argue that his wealth was his to do
with as he liked. There was no organ
lied society to aid In creating wealth
nor in defending Its possession. To-
day all is changed. and opportunities
for gaining and holding wealth are,
the result Of social organization. The
rich man owes a debt to society. His
money is a creator of social power for
its possessor. Writing of the American
millionaire in the current issue of the
Atlantic, William Allen White saws.
Rich men are but men; they love power
as all men love it, and they use it as
men. Their money gives them power: It
opens a new sport to them when the
mere getting OF money pals. This diver
sion Is the control Of government Thus
tar in playing that game the rich man
has not materially harmed the country.
He has played for pleasure rather than
for profit Nevertheless, the presence Of or
ganized wealth in American politics. as an
estate there, must be understood clearly
and reckoned with as a fact by the voters
There lis just so much power generated
by the surrender of the individual rights
and liberties Of the people to the govern
ment, and when organized wealth takes
part Of that power the people who should
control this government with their votes
have that much less government to con-
troll.
The rich man will be slow In surren-
dering either the wealth or the peculiar
power which modern society makes
possible for him. But as an honest
steward Of both he can do much to
Justify the possession Of them.
