C. Max Manning, secretary or me United StaU-s lepuliun at Monrovia, lately here on leave of iibsence, is an educated man and speaks somewhat jrtinriledly, of things and conditions in Liberia. he wag asked as to the condition of the migrants' who left Savannah for Liberia during 1895 and ls'jti. He replied that he hod seen and heard very little of them, the last party, that which went on the Lauradu, having arrived some time before he reached there, lie understood that they had chiefly gone Into the Interior, lie met a few from Arkansas around Monrovia, but none from Georgia. The reports which be received of these immigrants were not the most favorable, he said, lie heard that at Croslerville, a' colony established by the immigrants in the interior, two-thirds of them had died.

"The great mortality among these people," said Rev. Manning, "is not due much to climai ic in II nonces as to the fact that the greater number of them were unprepared to take care of themselves, and should hav never gone there, I do not consider the climate especially unhealthy. What Liberia needs Is men with money and brains to develop Its resources. Cheap labor is overplentlful. There are plenty of natives to attend to that, and they will do twice the work for half the money that the people who go there from this eountry can afford to work for.

I know of no place in the world where a man with a little capital iuid who is a good trader can make money more rapidly, and there is none where man without money is liable to suffer more quickly. The government desires to encourage immigration of the right sort. There Is plenty of fertile land. The government gives 25 acres of land to each head of family, and ten acres to a single man. The class of emigrants who left Savannah in 1805 and 1806 Is not desired by the government.

It is tired of that class of emigrants." In speaking of the country, Rev. Manning admitted that Liberia had not progressed as rapidly as the friends of the btack republic might wish. The civilised negroes are only a handful as compared with the uncivilized natives. Tt ofrlKrml necroes run the countrv. however, and the natives cut no more figure with them than a negro does with the white man in this country, Bev.

Manning said. No white man is allowed to vote in Liberia. Only landowners can vote, and no white man is allowed to own land. This is a strange state of affairs in a country which was presented to Its occupants by white people. "They argue," said Rev.

"that if the white people are allowed to own land and vote in Liberia the condition of affairs there will soon be pretty much the same as it is in this country, and that white men would own and run the country. Because of this embargo upon white men, capital has been kept out of the country, and its development is retarded. 1 tried to argue with the principal men that it would be better for them to induce white people to come in and build up The Old made new for a few cents and a little labor.
