WHITES IN THE TROPICS.
Contrary to Theory, the Caucasian
Can Stand the Climate.

The opinion of some authorities
that white races will never succeed
III obtaining permanent foothold in
tropical countries does not seem to be
shared by writer in the Journal Of
the American Medical association
As quoted in Science (New York;, .,
tic says:
"The recently expressed opinion Of
Colonel w. II. Gorgas that within the
next two or three centuries the tro-
pical countries, which offer much
greater return for mans Labor than
do the temperate zones will be settled

tres Of population and civilization be
transferred to the equatorial regions,
may not prove a strictly correct pro-
phecy, but its possibility cannot be
denied. priori, as once it would have
been. The discovery of the malaria
germ and Of the transmission of it
and of that of yellow fever by mos
quitoes has abolished the principal
drawbacks Of the ha'bitability of
these regions by the white races to
a very great extent and opened for
the use Of civilized man large por-
tions Of the earth s surface that were
formerly practically forbidden to
him. The question. of course, still
remains to be settled whether the
white maa can retain his physical
stamina and energy through resid-
cnce in the tropics Of many genera
tons. and whether the mere conquest
Of pathologic germs is all that is re-
quired. The productiveness of tropi-
cal regions is of itself a drawback.
The average man works Only from
necessity, and what renders mere cX-
istencc the easier does not necessar-

the race"
Sir Charles Dixie, the writer re-
minds us, once the banana was call

that where it aboundcd, human pro-
crcss and ambition disappeared.
There is enough truth in this to make
ii unlikely that the tropics will be
the leading centres of civilization in
the future. The temperate zones,
where the struggle for existence
brings out the higher abilities Of
man. will always dominate. the writ
er thinks, and ii is not improbable
that the tropics will be the recourse
Of the yellow races rather than Of
the white. TO quote the conclusion !:

COMPROMISE is ACCEPTED
Strike of New York Longshore.
. men Partially Settled.

New York, June "A long step to.
ward the end of the strike of long
shoremen which has been in progress
for several weeks was taken during
the day when about 5000 of the strik-
ers returned to work on the docks OF
the coastwise and the smaller steam
ship lines and at the terminal COM
panies' docks where tramp steamers
discharge their cargoes. These COM
panies accepted an offer made by the
strikers to report for duty at an ad-
vance of 5 cents an hour over the
wages paid before the strike. The
strike was undertaken to enforce a
demand for an advance of 10 cents an
hour for day work and Is cents an
hour for overtime Under the new
agreement the men will be paid 35
cents an hour for day work, 40 cents
for night work and 60 cents for holi
days and Sundays. -.~..
The officials of the transatlantic
lines, however, did not accept the
compromise offered and Lawson San
ford, secretary of the conference Of
transatlantic lines, declared that the
strikers would be taken back only at
their former wages and as needed.
The strikers have hopes that the big
lines may be induced to accept the
compromise. .-'..- .s-fas. ~.

Philadelphia, June "A petition

president of the Philadelphia and

criminal negligence for the killing Of a
father and son who were run down a

as an official and added that he had
asked for the assistance of the district

The petition among other things says:
"We consider this was not an acct

he enters in any other way he is
a trespasser and lawbreaker and
is subject to severe pains and
penalties.
'Lord Chatham is one of the
finest burst of British eloquence
said: The poorest man may in
his cottage, bid defiance to all
the forces of the crown. It may
be frail; it's roof may speak; the
winds of heaven may blow
through every Granny; the storm
may enter; the rain may enter;
but the king of England cannot
enter. These are the tenets of
Anglo Saxons; then how hypo-
critical and dishonest is the hue
and cry of social equality.
''And now, Mr.. Chairman, in
closing, [ want to say, in behalf
of my race, that the black man
has everywhere and under all
circumstances, shown himself to
be the faithful friend and ally of
the white man. No one can point
to a page in history that will
testify to his want of love for
your institutions and to his lack
of fidelity to every sacred trust
confded to his keeping. Every
hearthstone of the south can
bring it's witnesses to proclaim
the faithful devotion with which
he stood guard over her affairs in
times of greatest perils. From
slavery he came to liberty, and
though be was in some measure
inflated with his new born free
dom, yet he has always borne
himself with the modest de.
meanor of one who knew that
his ancestors and himself did not
always enjoy the fullness of the
blessings of liberty. Not an
hour, either before or since
he became free, has he ever
been fOrgetful of his country
or unmindful of his duty and al
legiance. =
eff no peril shall befall this
commonwealth until it comes by
the black hands of those whom
the proclamation of Andrew
Lincoln made free, then this
government will exist and it's
liberties remain until the trumpet
of the angel shall summon all to
the final account"
