INHOSPITABLE LIBERIA.
A Discouraging: Picture of Life on the
African Coast.
Says the Indianapolis News:
Dr. Ralph W. Perry, whose recent return
from Liberia has been noted, is still
bleached, as the result of his long wrestle
with Africa or coast fever, but he is gradu
ally recovering his former vigor, and he
proposes to begin the practice of 111481101116
m this city. He imd a rich and varied ox
perionce on the African coast, aud not even
the ambition to save a heathen from end
hiss torment will win him back. He went
out in the employ of the Episcopal Mission
Board, to bo in charge of the hospital,
and of the two who accompanied him
one died with coast fever within three
weeks after arrival, while the other was
driven insane from a similar cause. Mon
rovia is the capital of Liberia, being named
in honor of Ptvsdent Monroe, of this coun
try, and it is a town of about 5,000 people, of
which number eleven are white and the
remainder of mixed blood, but largely
native. The business of the town is in the
hands of less than a hundred persons, and
the remainder of its poplatiou lives off
them. Common labor is poorly remunerated.
There is no plantation work, stive in the cof
fee-picking season, and the negroes who were
expected from the South some year ago
lend shiftlese and forlorn lives, not much
improved upon the native black. There is
no money, and in payment of whatever
laltor there is to do the laborer is compelled
to take out the price in whatever is offered
him. Flour, costing $4 n barrel in New
York, retails at sls per barrel;
muslin 35 cents per yard; milk the
same price per pint, and smull pints at that;
and everything else in proportion. The
steamship interests are controlled by Bel
gium and German firms, and the agents
that are sent to Liberia to look after
their commercial affairs are under
contract to remain three years; but
few last that long. No white
man escapes an attack of African fever. It
seized Perry after he had been there but a
short time, but thanks to a sturdy constitu
tion he was able to fight off the drat attack,
and a second and third, but it kept return
ing every month or two, until it finally wore
him out. Its symptoms are very much like
the ordinary yellow fever of the South, but,
unlike the yellow fever, the fact that a man
has it once is no guarantee that he is not
liable to continued attacks of it. The mis
sion at Monrovia is in charge of the Rov.
Mr. Ferguson, who is not only a missionary
but also the Bishop, and he has some
twenty assistants, who are stationed
at Monrovia and other points. The mission
was established in 1882, and it is maintained
at about a yearly cost of S3O,(XX), and Dr.
Perry doubts if the conversions to date ex
ceed 500. It is not a pleasant country in
which to live, even for a native, and a white
man migrating to this inhospitable shore,
although the doctor didn't say that in as
many words, might as well leave all hope
behind. Bishop Ferguson is a colored man,
and this accounts for bis tenacity of life:.
There are two seasons of the
year, dry and we't, but Perry
failed to note much difference be
tween the wet and dry, unless it was that in
the wet season it rained day and night, while
in the dry it only rained at night. The wet
season is the healthiest, because it is the
coolest, and the temperature during the day
ranges from 60“ to 130°. Only once during
his stay of ten months, however, did it drop
to 60°, aud then it felt cold enough to don
flannels and overcoat. The trip going and
coming from New York is made by sailing
vessels and usually occupies forty-five days
each way.
CONUNDRUMS FOR GEORGE.
Pupils of a College Seeking for Light
on His Proposed Reforms.
From the New York Herald.
An interesting contest took place yester
day between the intellectual athletes of
Packard's Businesss College and Henry
George.
Among the invited guests were Capt.
Codman, of Boston; Dr. C. H. Shepard, of
Brooklyn; Mr. H. A. Spencer, Units Post,
Dr. A. E. Holbrook, Ernest Dirhjimn, Gra
ham McAdam and several ladies.
Mr. Packard opened the exercises by ex
plaining that thp pupils had beam discussing
the laud question and Henry George’s books
for several weeks, but they wanted more
light. They had therefore decided to ask
Mr. George to come and answer questions
with regard to certain of his propositions
which they did not fully undei-stana.
Mr. George pushed back the table on the
platform and stood in front of it facing
fifteen young iadv shorthand stenographers,
who were' to report him, and 360 students.
He said that he w r as afraid they had not
read his books if they eiid not understand
his views on the land question.
‘■Will not your plan ba unjust to the own
ers of mortgages (” was one of the questions
propounded.
“Not so unjust to them as the present sys
tem is to the community.”
“Would not the evils of government own
ership be greater than the evils of private
ownership V'
“Oh, no. There is corruption where there
are money, employment, patronage and po
litical devds. With our land reform theso
evils, and perjury growing out of personal
taxation and the collection of duties, would
be swept away. A land tax can be col
lected easier than any other kind of tax.
lxind is immovable and its value can be
eaunly ascertained. Iu this reform no man
ueeM to be poor who is willing to work.”
[Applause.]
“If people were only tenants of land would
it not tend to discourage improvements!”
“Possibly. But we do not propose: to give
the land to the State. We would tfi-X it. A
1 mnu would hold land and buy and sell it
just as he does now, so long as he complied
ivith the necessary conditions.
“Our scheme would make Goulds and
Vanderbilts impossible. By striking at the
root of great poverty you strike at the root
of grfet wealth. Give public franchises to
private individuals is like giving away high
ways. A highway is a highway, whether
of rails or cobblestones. [Applause.] Our
revenue system is far more corrupt and
injurious than even the railway system."
“Does not the unearned increment idea
apply to personal property T’
“No. The building is not as valuable as
it was eighteen years ago, but the ground
on which it stands has greatly increased in
value. A tax on capital can be pushed
aside, but a tax upon land alone would fall
upon the speculator.”
Mr. George said that his system would let
the present legal titles to laud remain. He
would not tax improvements, but lands,
mid raise revenues on the valuo of land irre
spective of improvements.
“You say that the earth belongs to those
who live on it. Very well. Adam aud
Eve once owned all the world.”
“Yes,” replied Mr. George, with light
ning rapidity; “and suppose I produced a
deed signed ny Adam and Eve, giving me
legal title to the earth, would it be right to
make all the jieople on the globe pay tribute
to me?” [Great applause.]
“You say we don't need a navy or army.
But we sometimes quarrel among our
selves,” said a pretty girl.
“So do man and wire sometimes quarrel,
but you would not arnt them with revolv
ers tor (ear they might fight.” [Laughter
and applause. ]

that vu-Udky recently started boring wflfcrte-

fwt without signs of water he abandoned
week the far mar's 2-year-old child was
playing in the vicinity of the well
ami when its mother came to look
for the little fellow ho had disap
peared. Becoming alarmed she searched
the yard, and going to the well heard from
its ilark bottom the plaintive cry of “Papa!
l*apa! papa!’’ When the woman realized
the truth she was frantic, and running to
tho field called her husband and his helpers.
The news quickly spread among the neigh
l>ors, who congregated to offer assistance.
At first the parents could think of no way
to rescue the child. A rope was dropped
down, but the child could not grasp it. The
cry grew fainter and fainter, and at the eud
of the first six hours a stout iron hook was
lowered; and after' many fruitless attempts,
occupying two days and nights, the dis
tracted parents succeeded in dragging the
child to the surface more dead than alive.
The little fellow now lies in a very critical
condition, its body fearfully lacerated by
the hook and greatly exhausted from its
long immurement.
