CAUSE OF GILLIAN SUCCESS

The Chil-Peruvian war has proven
the falIacy of CHASING the people of all
the Spanish-American republics together
as homogeneous in character and habits.
Tt mas demonstrated the fact that the
Clilians and Peruvians differ as widely
in most things as do the people of the
United States and Mexico. Difference
of climate has something to do with the
divergence. as Chill lies outside of the
tropics and consequently possesses the
same advantage that the inhabitants of
the north temperate zone have over the
people living in the enervating hot
climates. Chili's government is not
only stable one, but may even be
called aristocratic, as the proportion of
voters to male citizens is small. As
more directly connected with the recent
events, the different standards of mil
itary discipline prevailing in the two
countries-Chili and Peru-indicate
clearly the wide difference between the
two people and also the cause of Chili's
success. A correspondent recently writ
ing from Lima puts this matter in clear
light. He says: CATER having been ac-
customed for many years to the laxity
and carelessness of the Peruvian military
regime, it quite startles one to note how
inhexible is the discipline observed in
the ranks of the Chilians. It is only a
few days since that an artilleryman shot
his sergeant in revenge for number of
stripes vigorously administered, and
within 48 hours fell before the muskets
of firing party; and not two days since
a couple of deserters from one of the reg
iments were taken out to the Alameda in
the early morning, followed by process
sion composed of 25 men from every
corps in the garrison, and despatched to
another sphere of duty. Every day al
most the Army Gazette contains an
nouncements of the cashiering of officers
for misconduct and neglect of their obi
cations, and the soldiers are subjected
to the most rigorous supervision. Con-
sequently the service is not popular, and
the vacancies occurring in the different
regiments are hard to fill"

changes in the mind. Where there is a
chance of appropriating what is anoth-
er's, he who has no fixed moral principle
wild brave the risk of detection. 1t is
not only perilous but destructive, to ad-
NIT the treacherous thought That the
pettiness of the crime removes it's guilt,
Equally delusive and ruinous is the
pretext which commonly wells the be-
ginnings OF embezzlement, that what is
extracted shall be replaced. Theft is so
odious, that he who purloins from his
employers, does SO under some
fairer name than that of steal
ing. Yet, such it is, whether by
detention of funds, false entries in books,
deceptive representations as to value,
concealment of errors, or connivance at
the petty tricks of others. Ingenious
youth ought to be made acquainted with
the fact, which we derive from merchants
of the highest class, that cases of private
dishonesty are much more common than
appears by any public statement. In
banks, in offices, In stores. the unwary
young man is led to appropriate what is
not his own. Detection follows, but
sometimes to prevent exposure, he is
quietly dismissed, perhaps at some flu
ture day to figure in the police reports
Of some other city. It is an established
fact, familiar to all observers, that lar
cenies and frauds of this nature connect
themselves in majority of instances
with more common or venial faults. For
example, a Strengthened clerk whose sal
airy is scanty, contracts debts which he
is unable to pay. There is propagative
power in debt, and he finds himself sink
ing deeper and deeper, and he abstracts
portion of what is intrusted to his
watch under the self delusion that it is a
loan. Or young fellow is buckish and
vain of his person. He dresses and dec
crates far beyond his means, and in an
evil hour seeks to supply his necessity
from the property under his charge. Or
he has been smitten with passion for
the theater, billiards, dissipation, and
thus is led to the till, the drawer, the
sealed letters of the mail. More dread
full yet is the gaming of the pool-rooms,
SO largely practiced by our youth, itself
inseparable from dishonesty and leading
to thousands of small frauds at the places
of business. These considerations
should operate on our mercantile youth
as powerful argument for plainness of
dress, temperance in food and drink and
rigid frugality in all expenses. No
young aspirant for honorable gain can
ever acquire too intense horror of the
beginnings of dishonesty.

a NORWEGIAN REPUBLIC.

Among the many queerly constructed
governments of Europe, says the New
York Mail and Express, that which nomi-
nally makes one kingdom of Sweden and
Norway is one of the queerest. The
Norwegians have their own capital and
their own storthing. or parliament, and
the Swedish army is forbidden to cross
the frontier. The danger of centrali
cation in such government, if by that
word it can be called, is certainly at a
minimum. There seems to be now a
tendency toward still greater freedom in
Norway. 1t is stated that four-tifths of
the members just elected to the storth-
ing are avowed republicans. If they
shall succeed in setting up a republic, it
will be remarkable political evolution.
Republics usually succeed tyrannies;
the path of states, like that of the moon
around the sun, is not an even advance,
but wabbles" from one side to the
other. The government of the kings of
Norway and Sweden has not, however,
been generally oppressive. The NUT
terings of discomfort are not such as
have been heard for forty years In
Russia. Indeed, were it not for the
genius and energy of one man, the OPP
position to King Oscar would probably
not have amounted to anything. That
one man is Bjornstjerne Bjornson,
novelist, dramatist, poet and-in the
best sense of that word-politician
Twenty-Five years ago, soon after his
graduation from the University of
Christiania, he edited paper in that
city, which stirred up SO much conser-
vative opposition that he was compelled
to leave the country and to remain out
of it for some years. Now, he has such
a hold on the popular heart that his
Punishment is impossible; and if he
lives, we may see before long the re-
public of Norway established by peace
revolution.

ENLIGHTENMENT.

The y. S. Economist has an excellent
article on embezzlement, in the course
of which it says that honesty, in the
common meaning of the term, is the
cardinal virtue of trade. Integrity in
matters of business, namely, justice be-
tween buyer and seller, is clearly the
bond of union among all who engage in
exchange of value for value. To put
the matter on the footing of the adage
that " Honesty is the best policy,
would be looking much too low.
Bright honor, in all that regards proper
ty, is the dictate OF an enlightened con-
science, and is ennobling to man. Prin-
ciples of honesty are implanted early,
perhaps at an age earlier than the en-
trance upon the most juvenile business
The community is startled when some
great sinner abseonds, leaving hundreds
of widows and orphans beggared by his
monstrous frauds. But the food which
has now burst its banks began to trickle
many years ago; and close inspection
will, perhaps, show that the princely
villain has long been living in breach of
other commandments beside the eighth
There was no moral principle. We
warn the youth who enters q mercantile
house to watch that he may not be led
into temptation. You feel safe, but SO

PETROLEUM STATISTICS.

Twenty-Five years ago Illuminating oil
was manufactured from camel coal in
this country, and nothing was known of
the immense petroleum deposits which
have since played such an important part
In the manufactures and trades of the
country. Of the tens of thousands of
families who use kerosene oil, as an ordi-
nary light, very few understand anything
about the extent Of the business, or of
the uses to which petroleum is sub
jected. Within the past few days the
census bureau has issued special bulle-
tin devoted to statistics of the manufac-
ture of petroleum for the census year
terminating May 81, 1880. This bulle-
tin contains information of much inter-
est, but trade matters of all kinds move
with such rapidity in this go ahead coun-
try that the figures of more than two
years ago are hardly applicable to the
present position of affairs. According to
the official figures furnished by the
bureau the capital invested in the manu-
facture of petroleum during the census
year amounted to $27, 1916, TAG. There
were eighty-six establishments, employ
ing 1859 hands, whose aggregate wages
amounted to $4,381, 572. The estab-
ishments used raw materials to the value
Of S34, 999, 101. The cost of the crude
petroleum, which amounted to 731, 533,
1877 gallons was SIG, $40, 581. while SILL
618, 307 was paid out for barrels, So, 1893,
997 for tin cans, $906,911 for cases,
and $645, 412 for bungs, paint, glue, etc.
The balance of the cost on account of
raw materials was for fuel and chemi-
Gals. OF the latter the manufacturers
are obliged to use, IN considerable
quantities, sulphur, sulphuric acid,
hydrochloric acid, soda ash, caustic soda,
sal soda, aqua ammonia, lime, and bone
! black. In this manufacture there is
little or no waste. Pretty much every
thing is turned to account and finds a
use and value. The aggregate value OF
the products obtained from crude petro-
leum was S43, 705, 21S, of which sum
illuminating oil furnished $50, 839. 613.
The remaining 1866, sos is divided
among other products, consisting of
righoline, gasoline, naphtha, mineral
sperm, lubricating oils, parafine oil, re-
siduum, parafine wax, petroleum ONT
ment, harness oil, etc. The figures
show how quick the ingenuity of this
country can develop and perfect new
industry, and on this account they are
invested with considerable interest.
There are those who profess to believe
that the petroleum business of the
| United States has seen it's best days, but
such opinions have nothing solid to sus-
tain them. The supply of crude petro-
leum may be finally exhausted in one
locality, but no one can determine what
supplies may be stored away in the bow
els of the earth IN other places. 1t may
be that in the course of time petroleum
will fall into disuse as an illumination,
but so long as the supply holds out it
will have its uses In some form or other.
