' Has Now Modified His Views. aJFna-following extracts are from a remarkable article in tbe Century Magazine for May by Charles Francis Adams, Mr. Adams is well and favor ably known as holding conservative views on many questions affecting the South. His opinions of the negro and of the future of the negro race which have been, perforce, readjusted after a closer contact with tbe black man in. his home and at his best, are signi Scant as showing the tendency tow- j ard a fuller knowledge of the race and a truer appreciation of its possibili ties. Tbe article should be widely read, marked, and digested. BLACK AFRICA. As to Omdnrman (this name is pro uounoed with tbe accent on tbe iastl syllable: the town is only six miles j from Khartum) jhe morning (Febru ary, lltb) spent ijhere proved- most In teresting and singulary suggestive. For the first time I saw Africa?not i Egypt, but bltck Africa?Its streets, Its inhabitants, its marts, Its people. As an American, it then came direct ly home to me what those people were and how they lived. I looked on the largest native city of a stationary barbarous continent?the chief com mercial centre of an "inferiorrace"? and, comparing it with London, Paris or New York, tnose material on*come of the two species indicated the differ enue of their capacities. For, of course, races like individuals of the same race, must be measured and classed by their visible output: and as Omdurman is to London, so is the Af rload to the Anglo Saxon, Distinctly the difference Is too great to admit of measurment. And then comes tbe awful corollary: What is the duty and what tbe function of ahe super ior to the Inferior race under existing condition, and in the present advan ced stage of civilization? Can we, have we a right to wrap ourselves in our somewhat Pharisaic individuality and taking care of ourselves, leave tbe less developed, or wholly undevel oped, to work out through force and fraud a destiny whloh is no destiny at ., ah? Unless as in the former Sudan, c j an un rending tale of vlolene and wrong be termed a destiny. But if we have not suoh a right, and are un der an obligation, what I asked my self, becomes of all my philosophical theories heretofore bo confidently ad vanoed? I consess to a faltering My morning at Omdurman, and my sub squont days In equatorial Africa, were in this respect pointedly suggestive? Indisputably educational. When thus face to face with snch a problem one ponders a good deal. In bis description of tbe drear/ re gion known as Sud?tbe region be tween Lake No and Gondokoro?Ba ker refers to the natives?and he wrote in 1864 what those who follow m the tract be biased might write today?"they are something superla tive in the way df savages; the- men < d8 naked as they came into the world | their bodies subbed with ashes and their hair stained red by a plaster of j ashes and cows urine." And Be-in e add*?"the weather today (Jan. 21, 1863) is dull, oppressively, and dead calm. As usual eddlessmarshes | and mosquitoes. I never either saw or heard of so disgusting a country as that bordering tbe White Nile from Khartum to this point." A finer mosquito-breeding locality could not be Imagined; yet they did not annoy us to any noticeble extent, They were ] Indisputably there; and tbey bother ed, making a mosquito netting at nights a necessity, and mosquito-boots In the evenings very desirable; bu they were neither more numerous nor more venomous than, in their reason, here on the hanks uf Boston's Cbarlet; and the stories heard con corning them struck us good moo Quito proof Americana as greatly ex aggerated. They were mere , mere j babea and sucklings compared wit' the genuine Jersey breed. But to return to Baker's narrative for oue last extract; be winds up by saj Ing?"it is a heart breaking river without a single redeeming point* I d j not wonder at the failure of all < x pedltlons in this wretched country. I could not believe that so miserable u country existed as tbe whole of this j land. There is no game to be seen few birds, and not even crocodiles s'iow themselves: all the water animal are hidden in tht high grass; thuc tbere is absolutely nothing living to | be seen, but day after day is parsed in winding slowly through the lab -1 rioth of endless marsh" Tuen re feerlnR again to the natives at tbe now abandoned Austrian missionary tatlon of Koniea, he says ?"twentv r tMrty of these d I justing, an1" has stood the test 25 year bottles. Does this record < Enclosed v/ith every b smeared, stark-naked brutes, armec with clubs of bard wood brought to a point, were lylngidly about." It was just so at the same landing place on the 27th of February. 42 years later. The successors of those Baker-saw were loitering about the wooding sta Won one of them a man, old-looking and emaciated, over a s? p feet in in height?stark-caked wito a loop ipe?r in his hand?clad all in innc oencel . Finally, as to conclusions. During nine weekB passed in Africa, the onb really suggestive experience was tba obtained above the junction of th* two Nilps. A strong refl-cted lieb was thrown on our most perplrxint home problem?the AfricaniiniAmer ica. It gave much food for though ?first, as respects Africa; second a respects the Negro. N Africa's ttme is at hand. Plainly, no matter what is comlni to the African, Africa's time is com ing. The Nile problem is in prcces of speedy solution; that of centra and.Interior Africa will certainly fo ? low hard upon it Of the country br yond the White Nile, whether Abyss Insa or that about the Nvanzas, J know nothing; of the IS lie basin J know something?not mnon, I admi but a little; and the country beyonr is a corollary to lt. Broth of Khar tum?that is up the Nile?there is > very considerable, not as such thing go, a vast region, which if draine and then Irrigated, would product largely of Cotton, sugar, rice and to bacco. It is a mere question of wat er in a country of unevenly distribu ted rainfall?where there is any rak fall at all?lying under a tropical bud But it is not a country suitable fo the Caucasian?it is a country to bt exploited and developed, not one t> occupied and peopled. That it wll now-be. developed, .admits of llttli question. The construction of: thi Assuan barrage, following hard 01 the scientific occupation of the Sud an,, settles, the , question. There 1? money in it?and big money! So tb? work will henceforth go right alom the waters of the Nile will be eoono mlzad at their .. sources, whether ii Abyssinia or at the outlet of the Ny anzaa. The gradual reclaiming anr systematic irrigation of a very consir erable part of the Nile basin north OJ Lake No will follow and even the Sue ?that wretched, heart-rending mor rasa?may, not impossibly be drainer! by degrees, and made habitable . Now a vast papyrus wilderness, it would then prove a great rice swamj and sugar field. So far as the native are ooccerned?what will follow? Clearly, this: The African will a> lastflDd his place in civilization, what ever that place may prove to be. I) the Cudan and nile basin,f he will dm be brought, as in our Southern State? Into industrial conflict withithe white mac. If he meets with any competi tion it will be the impotted Asiatic? the Asiatic purposely imported to d< what the African will not do or can not so well do. The native? Africar of the Nile basin is now a savage?h herds cattle and cultivates the soil tr a limited extent. He ?b distinguish ed from the brute oreation only b; the fact of articulate speech, the ost of tools and weapons of the mos. primitive kind, and a knowledge of the propritles of fire? In such mat ters as clothes, food or sanitation be is in no essential respects better than various kinds or animals. A savage,, he aemlts, like nearly all known oe gro savages, of an imitative domesti cation. Thus, in Africa, the simplr question is how far he can be develop ed by external influences, and under altered conditions; for as yet he ha* evinced no self elevating capacity. I Africa proper is now to be developed and if the laboridg white man will not, because he cannot, make a home in it, the field Is open to the native Can be occupy that field, and fill ii; ar must he, free from forced, regular ed labor, languish and die out like the American and the Australian. A large question, it is as interest ing as its answer is obscure?as yet! Fortunately, its solution is In the best of bands?those of the British Asiatio experience thus throws light on the African problem; and 8gain, the problem working out in Africa Is full of suggestion as respects America One tbiDg seems clear, without be log reduced to servitude, the inferior race must be recognized as such, and in some way, so dealt with. Fach are facts; and only confusion result when things essentially not fqual ar dealt with on the basis of natura ?quality. The world has now f ?r 8(.me time been pondering the Afri can pr blem,?pondering lb In Ameri ca as well as In the place of its origlr; ?it has been laying up a store of ex periences bearing upon it,?experi ences stretching thiough at least 2 - 000 years. The discovery of the Nil. s ?urce was delayed to our time; in its turn that discovery now bids fab* to tovolve the future of the negro. The wild animals of Africa are to go; will the negro go with them? The alter native is domestication. That hf will not go with the wild animal ou experlence shows.

There is nothing more distressing than an itching, burn ing skin disease, and npon the return of warm weather those who are afflicted with skin troubles find the symptoms appear ing and know that they will be tormented through the not summer months. The blood is heated with humors and acrid matter, and as they are forced to the" surface the skin seems to be on fire. The treatment of skin diseases with exter nal applications is all wrong, because they do not reach the trouble which is in the blood. The most such treatment can be expected to do is, allay the itching and burning and cover up the .trouble for awhile, but as soon as it is left off the disease returns. All food taken into the body contains, in some form, the elements necessary to sustain the different parts. One portion is used for _ _ the making of blood, another for muscle, m?BW? WAS ?aw.OTW?*?* one for bone, still another for fat, and so on. After these different properties are ex tracted from the food there still remains a portion that is useless, or waste matter, which is intended to be disposed of through the natural channels of bodily waste, the Liver, Kidneys and Bowels. At this season of the year, however, these organs become torpid, dull and sluggish, and fail to perform, this duty, and these accumulations remain in the system and are absorbed by the blood to ferment and sour, producing burning acids and acrid humors. ^The blood cannot properly nourish the system while in this'impure condition, and begins to throw off these acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Acne, Eczema, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin diseases of every description. ECZEMA appears usually with a slight redness of the skin, followed by pustules from which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It is generally on the back, breast, arms, legs and face, though other parts of the body may be afflicted. In TETTER the skin dries, cracks and bleeds, and is often very painful. The acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, Causing a dry, feverish, hardened condition and giving it a leathery appearance. ACNE makes its appearance on the face in the form of pimples and black-heads, and is particularly disagreeable because of its unsightly appear ance, while PSORIASIS, a scaly disease, comes in patches on different parts of the body. One of the worst forms of skin disease is SALT RHEUM* It discharges a watery fluid, form ing sores and producing intense itching. The head and face are the parts usually affected, and sometimes the hair falls out and a mass of sores forms on the scalp. These and all skin diseases are due to the same cause?burning acids and humors, in the blood, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and made pure they will continue. The best treatment for all skin diseases is S. S. S., a remedy that is purely vegetable, being made en tirely from roots, herbs and barks, and acts directly on the blood with a cleansing, healing effect. It neutralizes the acids and purifies the blood so that the skin, instead of being blistered and burned by the fiery fluids, is nourished by a supply of cooling, healthy blood. It goes down into the circulation and forces out every particle of waste or foreign matter, builds up the blood and cures all skin diseases promptly and permanently. S. S. S. does not, leave the least par ticle of the poison for future outbreaks, but entirely rids the blood of the cause for all skin diseases. S. S. S. tones up the system and regulates the Liver, Kidneys and Bowels so that they will carry off the natural waste and refuse matter through the proper channels, instead of leaving it to be absorbed py the blood. Nothing equals S. S. S. in the treatment of these troubles and for building up the general health. Write for our treatise on skin diseases and any medical advice you wish.
