ISSSS&S! THE PITTSBURG IDISPATCH, FRIDAY, JULY 15,-1892. 12 i LAND OF THE BLACKS. Liberia as Ex-Minister Smyth Found It Is Hardly an EI Dorado. AN EX-SL AVE .MISSIONARY'S TALE. The Climate es Hard on American Kejroes as en White People. KO TLACE FOR A TENXILESS SETTLER WASniifGTOX, July 14. John H. Smyth, who was appointed Minister Eesl dent and Consul General to Liberia by President Hayes, and served also under Presidents Garfield and Cleveland, is well posted with regard to Liberia. What he says will be of interest to those of his race who are desirous of leaving the States for a home in the negro's fatherland. He said to 8 iYwf reporter yesterday: "While everv portion of "West, Xorth, South and East Africa affords a place of residence for the American negro in which life, liberty and property are secure tinder the several governments of these sections for the black in common with the white, and as good, aye a better prospect for social and political success than in the United States, yet I am of the opinion that very few American negroes are fitted for residence in any of the coast settlements of Africa. The soil surrounding Africa is alluvial for from two to ten miles interior on all sides. The temperature.Fahrenheit, Tories between 65 and 85 between Axim, south of Liberia on the west coast, to Freetown. Sierra Leone, north at least 900 miles coastwise. This temperature is always humid, both in the dry and rainy seasons. The Terror of A ccllmat Izatlon. All immigrants and all natives, as a conditionof being on the coast, sufler from a fever, known here and in Europe as the African fever, which takes on two forms, the intermittent and remittent The effect of this fever is to enervate the pa tient, totally unfitting him for physical ex ertion while on, and incapacitating him for any mental efiort. If the patient is of a sanguine temperament and an inherited disease, is temperate in the use of intoxi cants and water, and in eating of fruits during acclimatization, the prospect of life is as fair as in the malarial portion of the Gulf States of the United States. If, on the other hand, the patient is of a I bilious temperament, the best medical care, the greatest abstemiousness as to food and drink and the greatest precaution from drafts of air are obligatory and indispensa ble for carrying one through the acclimat ing period, arid should be observed if fair health is to be expected. The condition of the liver determines the continuity of life in "West Africa. It is literally true that the fit in body and soul alone survive in "West Africa. If o foreign company, individual or society ounsiti his or its own right a foot of ground in fee in Liberia, not even the llubber Company, limited, which has had a franchise given it to farm rubber within tiiree years last pat Xo man of African descent even can hold in fee a foot of cround in Liberia unless he be a citizen, and citizenship depends upon race blood. 71mConsluntlnn Kpjjulates Ownership. The Constitution of the Republic of Liberia regulates and limits by its provis ions ownership of the soiL Information confirmatory of this should be obtainable at the Department of State of the United Stales. The Constitution of Liberia guarantees to the head of the family of every bona fide immigrant 23 acres of the public domain. worth in 18S6 50 cents to SI per acre, and ten acres to each single person a bona fide immigrant. The condition attached to the grant is the placing of the land under cultivation in a ""limited time, or the same reverts to the grantor, the Republic. Labor iarru labor the only labor that is extensive, embracing manv persons, is cheap, bi-in worth from ?2 50, United States or Liberian money (currency), to 4 per mouth. Native labor is the best in every way that can be obtained by anv possibility. The agricultural iiiu'ti'.trr, which in Liberii ofiers the most certain and most profitable and continuous return, needs from without only intelligent, experienced, and moneyed proprietorship. So far as personal benefit to the individual usefnlness to the State goes, a poor, ignorant, and unskilled man in any calling needed in Liberia should be by enactment here and law in Liberia pre vented soing thither, and denied there the right of citizenship. I have resided in Liberia for nearlv nine years, and enjoyed an extensive acquaint ance from Go vee and Dakar to the Gaboon for about seven years of that time, and am con stantly beins advised on African affairs by Africans at home. The TrMitnony of a Iiady Traveler. A dispatch from Chicago says: Mrs. Amanda Smith, widely known as an evan gelist and an earnest worker in the cause of temperance, is a guest of Mr. "W. D. Col well, So. 250 Oakwood boulevard. In her 1articular field of labor Mrs. Smith is .nownin many lands, ana her story is an illustration of what a courageous and self reliant woman may da "My history?" laid she to an Inler-Ocean reporter. "O, well, I was born a slave, and my parents were slaves on a Maryland plantation. My master died when my lather was 21 years old, and he bought bis ireedom. He was a mighty hard-working man; he worked day and night and was al lowed to keep all that he earned by work ing over hours. In this w ay, by paving the money in installments, he "bought my mother and his five children. After this we moved to York county, Pa., between York and Baltimore. -My father had a brother who ran away, and he went to see Mm." "How did you happen to get into the evangelistic field?" "Well, I was working hard to support myself and child, and didn't think much about anything else. I was finally converted on the 17th of March, 1856. In 1868 1 first heard of the doctrine of sanctification, and I afterward attended a number of camp meetings. The first was at Oakington, Md., rot far from Havre de Grace. Then the Lord seemed t bless me and open up the way. I was afraid at first, ana I said: 'I haven't any education and no grammar." "When I would use a word I would say, 'Xow that isn't good grammar, and in this way the devil kept tempting me and hold ing me back, but I persevered, with the Lord's help. Bin. Smith's Mission to Liberia. "December 24 1 left England for Liberia, and landed at Monrovia, the" capital, Jan uary 10, 1882." Mrs. Smith talked most interestingly of the people of the colony, their occupation and prospects, but she did not approve the wholesale emigration of poor and ignorant negroes from the United States. "Ko one should go to that country," she said emphatically, "who has not means, edu cation and salvation. All others are a bur den, and simply have to be taken care o" "What is the general condition of the people?" "Thev are doing pretty well. They raise coffee principally; some of them have fine coffee plantations which they cultivate profitably. Then they buy and sell palm wood and palm oil. "When I was there the white population was made up of Belgians, Dutch and Germans. They have large produce stores. These people make it a point to live well. They build themselves comfortable houses, and have plenty of good food. They go oct into the heat as little as possible, and do no bard manual labor. "When they get rich they go away, for they do get rich, even with all this care. The climate is iust as hard on the negroes who go there from the United States as it is upon the whites. laey Buffer Jtut u much from the levers, and, being poor, cannot take the precautions that might enable them to escape it, as the more prosperous whites can do. Africa is no more their country than it is yours. The United States is their country; they fought for it and bled for it, and died for it, and they have a right to live there as the American citizens that they are. Those that go to be taken care of burden the peo ple so that they can do nothing to help the natives who are eager and anxious to be taught. I.lbirla u a Beautiful Country. "It is a beautiful country a grand coun try in its resources. It Is not so hot in Liberia as ft is in India, where you cannot sit down a moment anywhere, but that you must be fanned. I went with Bishop Taylor when lie was opening up his missionary stations on the CaUbar coast I saw no canibalism and no hostility, although we were right among the native tribes. Every where he went the Bishop was beautifully received by the chiefs no couldn't have been better received by the King of the Belgians. He had an interpreter and he would make propositions which were read to them, and which were agreed to without exception. The people were most friendly. "I remained in Africa eight years, then I went back to England, and August 29, 1890, sailed lor America. "When I reached Eng land I was broken down physically. I did not leave the work in Africa because I was tired of it, but because I had not the strength to go on. I did not expect to live three weeks after I reached Liverpool.but contrary to mv expectations, I recovered. I ex pected to return to England this month, but shall postpone it until a little later. I brought back with me a little boy that a kind friend has placed in school in South port. I intended to bring a little girl, also, but the physician told me that she could not stand the journey, so I left her in a kind family in Free Town." Mrs. Smith will Drench this evening in the Clark Street Methodist Church. She. has also been requested to remain and take part in the Desplaines campmeeting. But before she decided definitely as to this she said she would "have to do a lot more of praying over it." NOT FOR CLEVELAND. Ohio Democrats Banee Their State Committee Against Grover.

Greenleo Forst's 3Iclan tot Well at Onkdale Is Not n Producer The Forest Oil Company's No. 1 Robert TVallaoe Showing Bather Light The Crawford Still Holdlnc Up. There was a general cause for complaint in the oil fields yesterday. The wells that were due did not pan out with the fullness which was anticipated. The 2? o. 1 on the McLean property, be longing to Greenlee & Porst, was drilled through the fifth sand and is no good in that formation. There were dozens of operators in this region who did not expect that the McLean would be a well, owing to its location. It was south of any of the other big producers, several hundred feet, and for this reason it was looked upon as an important test well. Xortlieastof the old Meise well, drilled by Lynch, Buchheit & Co., the So. 1 on the Bobert Wallace farm, of the Forest Oil Com pany, was reported yesterday afternoon tp ue iu the top of tho Gordon, and not showing any oil. It is in the Gordon sand that oil is found in this locality, and unless the well de velops into a producer it will prove a bis disappointment to its owners. Anything put down m tho legion of the Moiso well is a test. This has been thoroughly demonstrated by others which havs been drilled in the same locality. The Shane No. 1 i as practically a dry hole, and a well on the Kilt, drilled Uy Greenlee E r orst, in tnis rejsion, was practically dry. The next wells in will be J. 31.

Tho No. 2 Crawford of the Woodland Oil Company, located seven miles southwest of McDonald station, was visited jesterday by hundreds ot people. They were neatly all operators, but a meat many country people flocked around to get a glimpe of a big oil well in a new pool. It was still reported to be making 30 barrels an hour. There is no doubt but that it opens up a new pool wibcli may yet bring huuaieds of thousands ot dollar to the owners. Other wells were belns located in the real on yesterday.

The illleeliug which it was thought wonld hide itself with the close of the Chicago convention is still rampant, and there is no prospect that Mr. Cleveland will be able to command the support of a solid Democracy in this State. "With the rank and file of the party in Ohio in his favor, he could not muster more than one-third of the delegates at Chicago, which is an evidence of the strength of machinery against senti ment when the two come in contact. Immediately after the nomination a move ment was set on foot for harmony, and a considerable effort has been made in that line, but it is the results which count, and they indicate there will be little, if any en thusiasm engendered in Ohio for the general ticket The meeting of the Democratic State Committee last week is the strongest evi dence of what the Ohio Democrats propose to do in the coming campaign. The meeting was called lor Toledo, In one corner ot the State, which is the first time in the history of the party in Ohio that the management has seen fit to hold the meetings at another than the central location, which is the capital. A ntl-Clevelanditet Grasp the Reins. The friends ot the ex-President at once suspected something was wrong, and such members of the committee went to Toledo with the expectation ot being humiliated and witnessing an onslaught on the Head ot the national ticket. It was discovered by the friends of Cleveland that the opposition had secured proxies before coming to the meeting of the Central Committee, which would enable them to control the selection of the campaign committee and effect its organization. There was no secret made of the fact that John It McLean, John H. Farley, of Cleveland, and the friends of Senator Brice Mere in the saddle and after the scalp of the ex-President. If the reports that come from a prominent member nt the committee are true, it was one of the most stormy sessions which has been held by any State Committee in many years. The friends of Cleveland made a strong fight, and in committee stated to the gentlemen who were in the majority that there was no need for working in the dark or in a mysterious manner, but they should come out bravely and show their hand, as the result would be the same. The Old Stand-By Stood Anlde. The old stand-bys of the party who were members of the committee were compelled to stand aside for the kids, and men who have never before been heard ol even in Ohio politics. Ferd Layton and C. D. Crites, of Allen county, who personally represent Senator Brice, were the strongest in their opposition, and they w ere seconded by the friends of Farley, of Cleveland, and ex Mayor Burnett, of Springfield. ' There was a proposition to select a man for chairman of the committee who had been known to be friendly to the ex-Presi- aent, out when it was louna the opposition had the matter arranged, everything was permitted to go by default. Mr. Farley, 'who was chosen Chairman, was at the time at a summer resort, and does not expect to return before September. Those who ad vocated his selection had a letter in their possession stating he would not be able to return before that time, and indicating he could give little if any time to the cam paign work; notwithstanding this, he was chosen, and apparentlv for the reason that he had been interviewed strongly against the nomination of Cleveland, and for the additional reason that he would not likely do anything which would aid the election of the national ticket. All tVork Done on the Quiet. There was open combat in the committee, and the friends of Cleveland charged that the committee was being constituted with a view to doing as little as possible. AV. A. Taylor, the Democratic candidate for Secre tary of State, was present, and by custom he would be permitted to name the chairman, but he washed his hands ot the performance and stated he would be willing to abide the decision of the committee without making any suggestions. Mr. Taylor is under obli gations of a strong and permanent character to the anti-Cleveland men in Ohio, and was forced to allow his own interests to suffer in the organization in order to 'satisfy the cravings for Cleveland's defeat. As Ohio will have little to say regarding who shall be chosen President, so far as the Democrats are concerned, it can not be de termined why there should have been such an effort to organize the committee from his prononnced enemies, unless it was merely for the purpose of giving expression to an idea that would emphasize the importance of certain individuals in their capacity as bosses in Ohio Democratic politics. Opening of the Late Campaign. From what can be learned it is believed that the campaign will be late in opening in this State. The Republicans have indi cated that they will do nothing before September, and it is likely the Democrats will be later in the field. Taylor, the Democratic candidate for Secretary ot State, has challenged Taylor, the Itepubli can candidate, to a scries of joint debates, or rather to conduct the meetings ot the campaign from the same platforms, but he has received no encouragement- and it is thought the Republican committee will ad' vise against such a course.
