Seventy-tyre yiiars agmthe first Brit-
ish sxpoditim against Kumarsi came to

tlovcrnos Sir Charles McCarthy, was
turned into a drinking cup. from which,
if they at all behaved according tothcir
wont, Prompeh's ancestor and his vic-
torious warriors must have toasted each
other in bumpers of human blood. The
«gonad expedition, your 1863, was also
badly beaten. but by King Rover. Most
people know the history of the third
expedition, Lord Wolsoiey' 11. year 1878
Every newspaper reader has a general
idea of the fourth and final expedition.

However much we may detest War, it
is gratifying to recognize lhi fact that
this west African om- has be 1-11 a service
to humanity. King Prompeh was one of
the three or four most appalling mon-
sters with whom the British govern-
ment has had relations within the last
20 years. Still, had it been merely a
question of removing Prcmpch, the suc-
cessful expedition would not have do-
rcrved all the en! ium we have just
imstowcd upon it. When on Jan. 20
Prompeh did homage to Governor Mar
well. kneeling on a biscuit box. while
his excellency sat on another, it was
not merely a black king who passed
away. but. a whole atrocious system of
blood, torture and state sorcery that
had endured from innncmorinl timv.
