work. The difficulty OF securing
statistics will not be- so great as some
may suppose. Many Of the planta-
tions already make very full monthly
reports, and these would furnish
basis for the labors of the committee.
The collection and comparison OF
such reports as already exist, would
elicit a great deal Of valuable infor-
nation, which at present can not be
anywhere obtained.
The work of such a committee
would be first to decide what prin
ciple OF classification would be most
desirable; second, to induce all the
planters to adopt the same principle
and finally, to compile yearly TIT
statistics from the plantation reports
The usefulness of this undertaking
is incalculable, and everything, ex
cept the final compilation, which
would involve considerable labor
would be very easy.
The committee would Of cours
communicate with other countries
ascertain what statistics are availabl
elsewhere, and epdeavor to obtai
everything which effort could pr

The escapade of the young Duke
OF Orleans, who last turned up in
Paris and offered to enlist as a pri-
vate in the army. has ended not as q
tragedy but as broad burlesque.
He belonged to one of the families
whose. presence in France is not de-
sired, and French Court instead of
sending him to the army, condemned
him to two years of solitude and re-
Election in prison.
The republic has wisely decided
that it would be wiser and safer to
let the young Duke go, and he has
accordingly been set at liberty, and
sent out of France. It is pitiful to
think the foundations of the French
government are SO insecurity laid,
that the romantic adventures of q
rash young man can shake them.

SUGAR STATISTICS.

One of the most grievous embar-
easements to any one who really
wishes to inform himself as to the
state of the sugar industry in this
country, is the almost total lack of
statistics. 1t is commonly asserted
here, for example, that sugar cannot
be raised at a profit without cheap
labor; yet, if anyone endeavors to
verify this simple proposition in.
stead of assuming it of hand, he is
confronted at the outset by the total
absence of any collected data capable
of furnishing basis for q well
grounded conclusion.
Thrum's Annual publishes yearly
some figures, but nothing, in the
nature of the case, bearing on any
thing more than few of the most
general facts. The Planters Monthly
furnishes occasionally such figures
as are obtainable both as to the in
dustry here and abroad, but these
figures are necessarily detached ano
imperfect, and too scant to furnish
basis for more than guess. In thu
meantime the investigator is left tt

Mr.. ED1ToR: The Bulletin in an
editorial yesterday evening, COM
menting on the mandamus case, says
'.The Auditor General has the sup
port OF public opinion in carrying
out the law as he finds it," This may
be, the opinion of the editor of the
Bulletin, but that it is the opinion of
the public, I am prepared to dispute.
In the first place, no reasonable man
can witness without apprehension
and distrust, the gradual assumption
Of power as well as the dictatorial
] attitude of the Auditor to the Cabi-
! net Ministers, and now that this atti-
tude has been endorsed by the Su-
preme Court, the situation becomes
indeed serious, in as much as it wears
the semblance Of an infringement on
the Constitutional rights and power
of the Cabinet in whom is vested the
control and management of the Elk
ecutive branch of the Government,
and who are responsible to the peo-
pie through the Legislature for their
acts. The Constitution does not give
the Auditor the power to control and
dictate to the Cabinet. His attitude
in this case is no doubt the result of
bad advice or the unwarranted
assumption of power on his
part, which can not receive
the endorsement of any sensible
man. In the second place, it will
appear quite clear after little study
that the Auditor is entirely wrong in
his construction Of which appropria-
| ton the care and maintenance OF
prisoners employed on public roads
should be charged. Take for exam
pie case where prisoners were
hired out to private parties at SC
much per day, (which the Minister
Of the Interior has a perfect right te
] do under the law would the Auditor
have the amount so earned applied
to the support of prisoners? No, be
knows very well that by law, the
/ 6IuOuub 81 otIuou WOuIO nave W Ue
turned into the treasury as a realiza
ton. and the keep and care of the
said prisoners during the time they
were engaged in such work, would
be as legitimate a charge to the APP
priation for support of prisoners, a.
at any other time. The same woulo
hold good in the case of prisoners
employed on Government roads, etc
If the appropriation for such roads
was to be made contribute towardl
the maintenance of the pris
oners, it could only be done
by charging the appropriation fol
the work they were employed on
so much per day for the work done
which amount the auditor know,
very we'll could not be applied to tn,
keep and care of the prisoners, blu
would nave to be turned into tn
treasury as a realization. do no
wish to go to too great length il
discussing this matter, but will con
clude by stating, the Bulletin not
withstanding, that the public do no
relish the control OF responsible
Cabinet by an irresponsible Auditor

that loan from such an Association

any Bank, at the same rate of inter

It has been found that the average

about as follows: A company of

for stock, the par value Of which,
when matured, will be $500 per
share. These shares are paid for in
monthly payments of 81 per share.
The shareholders thus pay, into a
common fund, sums varying in
amount, according to their subscrip-
tons, from perhaps SIS to sos per
month, the average being about $40
for each member. At the end of
each month then, there is from
$1,000 to 5000 in the treasury,
which sum is loaned out to the mem
bers, for the purpose of aiding them
in acquiring or improving real estate,
taking a mortgage for such loan on
the property SO purchased or i'm

the mortgage, the shsres of the Dor.

BURMESE WATER FEAST.

Frollcsome Behavior Of Mon and WomOD
on New Years Day.
The Siamese arc so near the equator
that they have about tho same hot
weather the year round. Every man,
woman and child In Bangkok takes 0
plunge into the river at least three
times day. OF the 700. 900 people In
the city at least 500, 900 live in floating
houses, and inasmuch as the summer
costume Of the lower classes consists Of
o garment about the size Of Turkish
towel, 1t is not much trouble for them
to 90 in bathing. They battle on the
steps of their houses and stand up to
the waist in the water, grunting delight
teddy as they pour bucketful after
bucketful over themselves and their
neighbors. The Burmese man and wo-
man take bath every night after din
ner. This bath is merely pouring water
over the person. Soap Is never used
and particular care IL taken not to wet
the hair.
At New Years, when the weather Is
as hot as our summer, these people
have what they call . water feast, and
at this time tho whole nation throws
water upon one another. All the pretty
girls 20 out with buckets, and tho boys
have squirt guns, and for three days
there is nothing but water-splashing.
The foreigners Of Rangoon also en-.
gagged in this, and the Chinese celebrate
the feast with the rest One Chinaman
rugged up hydrant with Q two-inch
pipe during the last feast, and as his
house was on the main street, he had
the bulge, as it were, On every one else.
He engaged coolie to work the ma.
chine all day, and, as he was selling
water-works, he had good advertise.
ment in addition to his fun.
A swell Englishman arrived in Bur-
man last year during this feast He
went to cali on one of the leading men
Of Rangoon in tall silk hat and black
clothes and was met at the door by q
girl with bucket Of water. The girl
asked him in Burmese whether he was
observing the water feast, and he, sup
posing that she wanted to know whether
he had come to see her father, nodded
his head, and with that nod this whole
bucket OF water went over his silk hat
and down the back of his collar, COM
pletely drenching him.
During the same time another party
of Englishmen were told that some girls
were coming to throw water on them.
They had the servants bring out the
bath-tub and put it on the vorandah, and
when the girls came they got possession
of tho bath-tub and splashed the En-
glishmen until one Of them, rushing in,
seized one Of the maidens and, lifting
her up, dropped her into the tub. This
was considered very impolite, and the
young man who did it suffered by re-
ceiving no further attention from the
Burmese beauties. -Philadelphia Press.
