had NO place there in the body polite of white
men; they were no longer slaves, but the idea
OF granting the suffrage to negroes was then
dtspleasing to the dominant race. There was
also the problem of the free Maroon negroes
Of Jamaica, who were irksome to the authorf-
ties in a land of slavery. So the idea of found
ing free negro state or community in West
Africa for the reception of enfranchised Amer
lean negroes came into being about 1884, and
in 1887 the colony of Sierra Leone was found
ed under chartered company and taken over
by the crown in 1908
Early in the nineteenth century the same
difficulty arose In the United States, namely,
the presence of thousands of free negroes
whose case had not been sufficiently provided
for by the American Constitution Somehow

Hiring Help In East Africa

The servant problem" is bad enough in
America and the experiences mistresses have
to relate are many and varied; but infinite
ly wider range of possibilities is opened up
when mere man-and a bachelor at that

can happen-and does happen!
Native house servants Of sort are plen-
tiful enough around the chief towns Of Brit

English money is used but American money

There is Liberian coinage and a rather
large paper currency. The official language
of the country is English. The civiliZela in

Episcopalians.
During the ffties and sixties of the last cen
fury the Americo-Liberians did much to
plore the interior and enter into treaty rela
tionships with the native chiefs But thirty
years ago their administration began to get
into financial difficulties 1t is not easy
thing to create a WelIordered, well-governed
state in tropical Africa without a consider
able capital to draw on. Consider for mo-
ment what Great Britain has spent Sierra
Leone since 1887, and on the Gold Coast wars,
the opening up of Nigeria; or the outlay of
France on Senegambia or Dahomey; and then
imagine how the government of Liberia could
without any reserve Of capital bring law, order
and civilization into densely forested terri
tory nearly the size of England, with prob
able population of over million warltke saw
ages and semisaYages.
So long as Britain and France-the control
ling powers-contented themselves with the
mere occupation Of few coast towns on the
seaboard Of their West African dominfons or
protectorates, the Monrovia government could
afford to do the same. But when these great
European powers were compelled by force OF
circumstances to occupy and administer the
regions behind their coasts the Liberians
found themselves in position of great diff
Guilty They had been allotted theoretically by
France and England a considerable hinter

were held responsible for the doings of the
native tribes In that extensive interior. Now
these tribes had never been subdued by the
government of the republic. They were many

tribes who for ages have been isolated in that
forest and were-and are-quite ignorant OF
the world outside their tribal land) were quite
willing to regard the Liberians as the ruling
power on the seashore. But they were very
disnclined to obey orders from Monrovia II
contrary to their own desires.
The tribes farthest inland looked upon the
British and French-the white men"-as ag-
gressors who were putting down by force a
most lucrative slave trade, who were forcibly
disclosing the secrets of sacred streams like
the Niger near its sources who, in short, were
not only to be opposed, but whose organized
territories offered most profitable field for
raids and robberies. More than this: the i'm
port of guns, gunpowder, rifles (above alp and
alcohol was being restricted or forbidden by
the Europeans. The Liberian coast, especially
where it was slenderly guarded by the Libe-
rian administration offered the one loophole
through which these forbidden goods might be
smuggled. Accordingly great trade sprang
up between these uncontrolled hinterland
tribes and the Kru people on the coast, who
affected sort of detachment from the govern
ment by the American-Negro republic In
these ways the Lfberian hfnterIand became a
positive source of danger and expense to the
