ditions Of existence in Hayti may be
OF general interest in view of the
prominence Of that republic at this
moment Although the experiences
gained were accumulated some years
ago, there is no reason to doubt their
general appropriateness at the pres
ent time, having in mind the absolutely
retrograde principles which for cen
fury past have dominated the inter
nal affairs and politics of the coun-
try.
The island itself is beautiful one,
so fertile and prolific that sufficient
sustenance for the natives is obtained
by the merest pretence of cultivation,
and as their ambition does not usual
ly extend beyond sufficiency Of food
and rum, and the wherewithal to bar
ter for or buy the indispensable
sheathknife, it is not to be wondered
that the people are an INDECENT race.
The climate is delightful, the heat be-
ing tempered by regularly alternating
land and sea breezes, only the short
intervening calm being oppressive and
sitting. When it rains-and the pre-
cipitation is tremendous during the
rainy season-it invariably does so
at night, the succeeding dawn and
day being bright and clear until the
clouds gather on the hilltops at sun
set.
Port-au-Prince has a population es-
timated at about 1000 or 5000. It
is delightfully."- situated upon the
banks Of a handsome and safe har-
Dor, and behind it the hills rise bv
degrees to a considerable height, the
hillsides being covered by a dense
vegetation in which a species of aca-
cia predominates. The town itself
was originally laid out in scientific
manner on square lines, the streets
being spacious and either parallel to
the water front or leading up town at
right angles. The harbor has become
largely silted up with the rubbish
from the town, and is also encum-
bered with ancient wreckage, so that
much care needs be observed in fol-
lowing the available deep water chan
nels. Cargo and passengers are con-
veyed to and from the shipping by
flats or lighters, there being no wharf
age accommodation.
The town is chiefly built of wood,
and is constantly devastated by fire,
which as often as not is of incendiary
origin. Stores are often built upon
professed freproof principles, with
iron doors and shutters, but owing
to the heat and dryness, and the in
Aammability Of the neighboring struc-
lures, they generally go with the rest.
In the periods Of calm between the
revolutions it is a recognized indus
try to start fire with a view to pill
lage. With such great disadvantages
there is naturally little inducement to

HA YH DESCRIBED

Inc rullng line IN the local politics
IS one OF color. ny very superficial
observer can quickly note the friction
which exists between the blacks and
the mulattoes. The blacks Cor Con-
servatlves), who occupy the country
districts, and the mulattoes (Liberals)
hate each other cordially and I'M
sWerVingly, and in times of stress are
ready to sink any private animosities
for their joint cause. Each party
would gladly wipe out the other and
make a clean sweep, but as this is
not practicable they do their best as
opportunity offers in time Of insurrec-
ton. The mulattoes are undoubted-
ly more enlightened than their black
brethren, but practical experience of
living under both styles of govern
ment goes to show that there is no ad-
vantage in either, both forms being
equally corrupt. Should by any
chance some well-meaning person be-
come prominent through leaninos to-
ward real reform of any kind he is
quickly wiped out.
AS regards the religious aspect of
the community, it is nominally Roman
Catholic. AS a matter of fact, the
god of the Haytian is Luck, and moth
ing else. Voodooism (phonetic) is
the secret influence which sways the
superstltious native, no matter wheth-
er he goes to church pro forma or not.
The priest Of Voodoo is called the
Papa-loi, and there is little doubt that
lnnumerable crimes are committed
with his connivance, and even his act
i've help. The rites Of Voodoo have
three grades The first consists of
cutting the throat Of a cock, which IS
then placed into a hollow in the
ground, together with various fruits
and vegetables, and dances and mean
tatlOns are performed round it. The
second, which is of deeper signif-
cance and greater elaboration, calls
for the sacrifice Of a goat. The third.
which is only rarely performed, is a
most horrible affair, the victim being
a "goat without horns," human be-
ing in fact, and usually child. In
this case it is said that the living
sacrifice is placed in the hole with the
vegetables and fruit, and the assem-
bled company dance and perform
their lamentations until it dies FL
nally, the body is cooked and eaten
amid the most appalling scenes of
drunkenness, debauchery and hor-
ror. It is a fact although most
strenuously denied by the respecta-
bic portion of the people, that these
barbarous~>and odious superstitious
rites are on. the increase.
