THE BLACK PROBLEM Nhe Contract is That of the Native Policy--The Difficulties That Beset the Legislative Path. There will be many importanttpoints on which the union Parliament will have to come to a decision, but per- haps it will be agreed that the most vital of all Bouth African questions. and the one needing the earliest and soundest solution. is that of the Native 'he native territories, large in ex- tent and with rapidly growing popula- lions, may within a few years becdine part and parcel of the Union of South Africa, and some definite scheme for the future governing of these great populous territories will have to be de- vised; one which will give the natives no handle with which to shake the wnfidencé of the outside world in the wisdom and. integrity of the Union Government, while at the same time It ho difficulties that beset the path of satisfactory legislation having for its aim the gradual elevation to political rights of primitive and diverse tribes, must of necessity be numerous Nevertheless, a way must be found, and that between the extreraes of the hollow American "Man and a Broth ir' and the "Nigger and a Dog" feel. ing. With the great advancement of education among the natives, with the $0 ch they evinee,; and above all with, ¢ of the whites before them, natural «shat they should moys t possiisien "of some sort f/ political franchise In what manaoer is it possible to drant, with benefit to the natives and af tne same time with dignity to the whites, this rational demand? Under existing circumstances the position is roughly this: In the Cape Province natives may attain a vote under more or less easy qualifications; in the Transvaal and Orange River Colony they have no vote. In Natal the qualifications is so stringent that it is practically prohibitive. The Basu- tos hold Pitsos, which are assemblies ol chiefs or headmen, in which their tribal affairs are discussed. The Swaz. is and Zulus have nothing resembl- ing either the Parliamént of the white man or the Pitse of the Basuto. Thousands of natives are with extra- ordinary diligence acquiring knowl. edge; already hundreds have been sent over to America to undergo a course of education there, and thus the white of South Africa must, be prepared shortly for a strong display of native educational results, terminating in a well-founded ery for political rights. Now, in the Basuto appears to be the whole solution of the matter; why not haved a native Parliament to which all the native tribes of Bouth Africa ¢ould send representatives? Take dway the franchise of the na- tives at 'the Cape as at present exer- cised, in favor of a more extended one, for a Parliament of their own; place this Parliament under a com- mission, who would forward to the Union Parliament for ratification or otherwise such resolutions' as have come' to them fromthe Pitso. This would give all the native tribes an opportunity of airing their griev. ances and ideas, and alone would lessen by hall the danger arising from the probable bursting of a sealed fur- nace. The native population 'of South Af- rica is increasing, and we have the menacing example of the U.S.A. be- fore us, The natives cannot and will not ex- peet forthe present and for a long while to come the full and free fran- chise of the whites, but they certainly will desire to labor under no undue intolerance; and have a right to ex- pect a wholehearted consideration of their side of the ease. The adoption of such a course as that outlined aBove would, under pro- | per safeguards, carry with it but little risk of danger to she white population, while to the natives it must appear such a great stride in the recognition of their status of citizenship, that it surely must earn the gratitude of un- bounded loyalty to the Government and people which established it. Such a scheme will have many de- tails to be considered, such as the advisability of the channel of com. munication between the two Parlia- ments, consisting of either one Min. ister or a commission, and so forth; but the first step is to find the path which will lead to a satisfactory solu- tion of a question the gravity of which cannot be over-estimated. 'Pickled Steel. "To keep the iron and steel used in building big ships ffom rusting," an engineer told the reporter, "is a mat. ter of supreme importance. The Brit.' ish Admiralty is very particular that every piece shall be painted the mo- ment it is ready for building purposes. But the tee] plates form a hard black surface, called "mill scale," in the process of manufacture. This clings tenaciously to the plate, and if it 1s sovered with paint, and afterwards the plate gets damaged, then the scale peels off, taking the paint with is, and leaving the steel bare. The plate is then liable to rust-corrosion, a ser- tous danger to the ship. "We therefore remove every trace of scale before painting the steel plate It is put into a bath of dilute hydro- ehioric acid for a few hours, which loosens the scale. "The plate is then brushed with wire brushes and wash. ed" with a hose. . This is what we call 'pickling steel." . ; Footwear For the Fashionable.

The recent agitation to guard the public against the adulteration of maple syrup caused it to be revived to some ex. tent.' A few wholesale men in To- ronto were discussing the subject recently and particularly referrine to the lack of moral sense displayed by many of the dealers, when one of them told the following story as an illustration of the type of busi- ness methods now ve common. The story-teller made himself the hero of the tale. He said that he was walking up the Don Valley when he met a little lad with a Packet. The boy said he had been out gather. ing mushrooms and the man asked to see what he had found. Being an expert hie felt rather startled by the collection. "Look here," he said, "most of those are toad-stools. They are very poisonous and they should not eaten." "Oh, these aren't to eat," replied the lad blithely, "these are to sell."-- Saturday Night. { A Bad Guess. It doesn't always pay to take chances.
