Is Government Work Efficient.

1t is the current belief in the United
States that the work of a government
is inferior to that of an individual or a
corporation; but this theory flies IN the
face of the experience Of mankind.
The mightiest works Of man are those
accomplished by governments, as wit
ness the Temple Of Jerusalem, the py-
ramids Of Egypt, the wonderful artis-
tic work of Athens, the roads, aque-
ducts, baths, and temples of Rome, the
places OF worship Of all nations, and
the armies which have contested the
supremacy Of nations on the battle
field. Were the monuments and rec
ords of what was done by governments
swept away, there would not be much
left to show the originative capacity
and executive ability Of mankind. It
is against all experience to say that
governments cannot be efficient. In
europe the ruling powers not only en-
courage art and science in a thousand
ways, but conduct industrial enter
prises, such as the management Of tel
egraphs and the running Of railroads.
In our own country the post office is
very efficient. BY it the people are
well served at a very cheap rate.
France, Belgium and Holland own and
manage q portion of the railway sys
TEN, aud the results compare very IA
vorably with the lines controlled by
corporations. In Germany, all the rail-
roads are owned by the government.
The management has so far proved sat
isfactory to the public. There are few
accidents, the trains are run on time,
there are no railway wars, nor any dis
examinations between the patrons of
the road. Then, the government does
not care for a profit. There was a large
surplus from the last years service; but
this was not followed by any watering
of stock or the dividing Of profits
among the stockholders, but at once
reduced the charges on freight for the
benefit Of the travelling community.
With a corporation the first considera-
ton is the profit of the stockholders.
but a governments first consideration
is for it's citizens. Our railway system
is in many respects far in advance of
that which obtains in Europe, but it is
a question whether in the long-run
governments do not serve the commu-
nifty better than corporations. Even in
the matter Of material improvements,
governments compare favorably with
organized capital. The Hanover and
Berlin Railway depots, constructed by
the German Empire, are farm advance
of anything Of the same kind in the
United States. Then, in the matter of
art, scientific museums, national gal
%leries, collections of antiquities and the
like, the private enterprise of the Uni
ted States bears no comparison with
the. splendid work done by the govern
ments of the Old World.-Demorest's
Monthly.

Some Curious Statistics.

A noted statistician, Edward Atkin-
son, insists that there is an abundance
of room yet in this world. The 1,4OO,-
100000 persons supposed to be on the
globe could all find easy standing room
within the limits of a field ten miles
square, and by the aid of a telephone
could be addressed at n time by a
single speaker. In a field twenty miles
square they could all be comfortably
seated. Then take the land Of the
globe suitable for growing wheat; not
more than one-twentieth IS under cul-
tivation. The average crop OF wheat
in the United States and Canada alone
wonld give n person in every twenty
of the population OF the globe a barrel
of flour In each year, with enough to
spare for seed. We can raise grain
enough on q small part Of the terrific
ry of the United States to feed the
whole world. II, therefore, there is
hunger anywhere, it is not the fault of
God Dr. nature, but because Of the IN
competency or want of management
on the part OF those who direct the at
fairs of mankind.-Demorest's Month

Rice was a member of that body. He
therefore comes within the restriction

The following is the address of Abra-
ham Lincoln, at the dedication of The
Gettysburg cemetery in May, 1864
" Fourscore and seven years ago, our
fathers brought forth upon this conti-
nent a new nation, conceived in liberty
and dedicated To the proposition that
all men are created equal. Now we
are engaged in great civil war, testing
whether that ration-or any nation so
conceived and so dedicated-can long
endure.
We are met ON a great battle field of
that war. We are met TO dedicate por-
tion of it as the final resting place of
those who have given their lives that
that nation might live. 1t is altogether r
fitting and proper that we should do
this. But, in "A larger sense, we cannot
edicate, we cannot consecrate, we can
not ballow this ground. The brave men.
living and dead, who struggled here,
have consecrated it far above our power
to add or to detract. The world will
very little note nor long remember what
we say here, but 1t can never forget
what they did here. 1t is for us, the
living, rather, to be dedicated here,
to the unfinished work that they have
thus far so nobly carried on. 1t is rather
for US 20 be here dedicated to the great
task remaining before us that from
these honored dead we take increased
devotion to that cause for which they
here gave the last full measure of devo.
tion ; that we here highly resolve that
these dead shall not have died in vain /;
that the nation shall, under God have a
new birth offreedom, aud that the govern
meIt of the people, FOX the people, shall
not perish from the earth,"
