character, and amiable nature. But a
short time before his death he spoke
feelingly of his faith in God, and his
resignation to an untimely end. The

The Men of 40.

From an inspection of the partial
records now existing, the estimate has
been made that at least 700 vessels of
all descriptions sailed from the va
rious ports of the world in the year
1849 for California, and that 400 of
this number sailed from the Atlantic
sea-pOrts of the United States, bring
ing to our coast in the year 1S49 and
up to May 1st of 1850, at least $4,000
persons, which in addition TO the 1S49
emigration across the plains of 25,O0O
making the whole number who left
their eastern homes for California in
the year 1S49, about 100000 persons.
Taking the records of the Pioneer
association as a basis for calculation,
there must be living at present of this
vast number at least $4,000 persons
who are scattered over the United
States.

The surveys for a railroad in the
Congo country around the cataracts
have been completed. The total
length of the road will be about 264
miles. There are few engineering
difficulties in the way, and it is ex-
pected that it can be finished in four
years, at a cost for construction and
equipment of S5,0OO,OO0. With road
like this, supplemented by navigation
on the great water ways, there will be a
fair prospect OF bringing central Africa
under the influence of commerce and
civilization.

POLITICIANS are bound to make fu'

the trade of prize fighters to fight and

the truth, the good sense, the practi

ate the mass. And what ultimately
decides the mass is not logic at all,
but rough, underlined sympathy
guided in the long run by Judgment
but consisting in the main of all those
complex moral considerations which
form the ground for giving or with
holding confidence. Confidence is
the soul of politics, just as much as O

In the Forum for June Adelbert
Hamilton has an article showing how
such enormous profits are made by in
surance companies. He says that un-
like capital invested in other business
insurance capital gets an income from
the two sources of constant investment
from mortgages and from insurance
As a consequence, in 1886, while the
average rate OF interest was about
AIS per cent. and while railroad capi-
tai stock earned less than 3 per cent
dividends, insurance capital earned
more than u per cent. In 1887 the
dividends upon it averaged nearly IA
per cent. Following are "a few rates
of dividends declared in 1887: Fire
Association of Philadelphia, 40 per
cent; Forest City, % per cent; Frank
lin % per cent; eleven companies 20
to a per cent; eighty-five companies,
TO to 20 per cent. each. Nor was 1887
an exceptional year.

AN IMPENDING DANGER.

The delay in admitting new states
suggests an impending danger. The
transformation of territories into
states should not depend upon the
votes of congressman, who receive
or exclude them according to partisan
policy. There are always territories
making application for admission.
They are like cards in the pack that
the dominant party can use to supple
ment its hand or not, according to the
emergencies of the political game. The
law should necessitate their admission
when they have attained to certain con
ditiOns, involving numbers and char
acter of population. This law should
be made very strict in its requirement
of territories, SO that neither hordes OF
Indians. Mormons nor illiterate squat
ters could qualify as citizens. But
when the territory has attained to the
proper SJdClIS VI StdUcllOOu IL SlloulO
come in oD presentation of credentials
The only objection to such a system
of admission would be in case of ter
ritory acquired from foreign govern
ments. Such should be admitted tC
the franchise of the public only by {
vote of the people or that of the va
rious state legislatures. But whatever
plan may be adopted it should pre-
vent the territories being used az
pawns for the necessitous politicians
