fares to the travelling public, and sub
stsntisl dividends to tue stockholders.
And when, rs rarely happens, a railway
official proves dishonest, his dishonesty
is accounted q crime, and is punished
with inflexible severity. In fine, in all
branches of business, public and private,
good faith and honest thrift are re-
garded as worthy of honor, and the lack
Of them rs disgrace. Four millions Of
people, continues our Minister, live with
in an area of 90, 900 square miles, fact
without parallel in any other country;
yet they appear to be happy, prosperous
and contented. The secret of their pros
perity, he not upjustly concludes, lies in
the fact that the people live within their
income, and that the principles of in
dustry and honesty are 80 firmly estab.
lished that the violation Of them is
looked upon as an offence against the
national character.
These homely virtues have little of the
flavor of ''smartness" about them-that
smar:ness which has come to he regarded
in many minds ss full equivalent for
every moral quality, and condonement
of every crime In commercial and. official
life. But, after all, such virtues yield
the best results in the end, whether
practiced by individuals or by nations.
The worst evils Of the "hsrd times" of
to-day are the proper outcome of public
and private contempt of them; nor may
good times be expected TO return until
their binding obligation upon all is
again clearly recoQhized-and as we'll by
those who make our laws as by private
citizens in their intercourse with each
