cARNEoIEs CONTRASTS.
A Contrast Between the Cost of Rspublica
and MonarchiaI Government.

Contrast Between the Cost of Republican
and Monarchial Government.
''Some Facts About the American Re-
public" was the title of speech de-
livered in Dundee. Scotland, Septem-
Der by Andrew Carnegie. Following
are the principal points, dollars and
cents being substituted in some in
stances for the computation by pounds
and shillings
The taxation of America-National,
State, municipal, all forms of taxation
taken together-is to-day s12 per head.
OF this amount 81 60 to the reduction
of the rapidly vanishing National
debt, and more than 81 per head
to the payment of the pensions
for the soldiers who fought
that government of the people, for
the people and by the people should not
perish from the face of the earth.
[Cheers. The real cost of the Amer
lean taxation is So per head; the taxa
tion of monsrchists here is S1925 per
head [Slight hissingl The earnings
of the republican are 1865 per head per
annum, and the earnings of the mon
archist are s175 per annum, so that the
cost of government under monarchy
is four times greater than under the re-
public. And of your rrevenues-the rev.
enue of every man, woman and child
here-9 6-10 per cent go in taxation to
support costly form Of government
and under the republican only 2E per
cent of the earnings go.
You know that America is supposed
to be wealthiest because it is great
agricultural nation. Sheis. She is not
second. She is notsecond either as a aman-
ufacturing nation. The total value of
your manufactures is under 5000, 900, 900
to-day. They were es16, 900. 900 in 1880.
The value of American manufactures
was 81, 126, OOO, 900 in 1850. They exceed
81, 400, 900, 600 to-day You also hear
that the Republic is nothing upon
water-that she is great on land, but
not great on sea. l am very glad to say
she is not as great. l want my native
land to have good many things, and l
want 20 hold the scales between you, as
my love is about even. Hear, hear
But the American Republic has 90 per
cent of the entire carrying tonnage on
sea in the world. and you have 81. The
American proportion is greater than
any five of the other greatest shipping
powers combined.
France has only about four, Germany
about four, Norway about three, and,
adding the five together, the Republic
has more than the five. Mulhall states
that your carrying power in 1880 was
21,OOO 600 tons, while that of America
was more than 9, 500. 900. This may sur
prise you, but the American Nation is
building steamships, as you are aware,
with great rapidity. She added 200, 900
tons of shipping last year to her marine.
If anybody thinks the Republic is not
going to make a show upon the water,
don't let him bet too high upon it

Treatment of Chinese Doctors.

The Emperor of China, on hearing for
the first time that PHYSICIANS in all for
eign countries were paid according to
the number Of visits they made to the
patient, was surprised to find that other
countries were so Numerically opposed
to China in so simple custom. After
few moments of reflection the Emperor
replied: "Now shall inform you how
l manage my physicians. have four,
to whom the care of my health is COM
mitted; a certain weekly salary is al

slain, let not her marriage day be
stained with blood.
Now, her father listened readily
enough, for he had no intention of kill
ing Hendrika-indeed, he had already
promised not to do so. But the people
were in different humor, they looked
upon Hendrika as a devil, and would
have torn her to pieces there and then
could they have had their way. Nor
were matters mended by Indabi-zimbi,
who had already gained great reputa-
ton for wisdom and magic in the place.
Suddenly the old man rose and made
quite an impassioned speech, urging
them to kill Hendrika at once or mis-
chief would come of it.
At last matters got very bad, for two
of the indunas came forward to drag her
off to execution, and it was not until
Stella fairly burst into tears that the
sight of her grief, backed By Mr.. Car
sons orders and my own remonstrances,
carried the day.
All this while Hendrika had been
standing quite unmoved. At last the
tumult stopped, and the leading induna
called to her to go, promising that if
ever she showed her face near the
kraals again she should be stabbed like
iackal. Then Hendrika spoke to Stella
in low voice in English:
"Better let them kill me, mistress, bet
ter for all. Without you to love l shall
go mad and become a babyan again."
Stella did not answer, and they loosed
her. She stepped forward and looked at
the natives with stare of hate. Then
she turned and walked past me, and as
she passed whispered native phrase in
my ear, that being literally translated,
means ''till another moon;" but which
has the same significance as the French
eau revoir."
1t frightened me, for / knew she
meant that she had not done with me,
and saw that our mercy had been mis-
placed. Seeing my face change she ran
swiftly from me, and as she passed
Indaba-zimbi, with a sudden movement
snatched her great knife from his hand.
When she had gone about twenty PAGES
she halted, looked long and earnestly
on Stella, gave one loud cry of anguish
and fled. A few minutes later we saw
her far away, bounding up the face of
an almost perpendicular cliff-a cliff
that nobody except herself and the
balloons could possibly climb.
"Look," said Indaba-zimbi in my
ear - "Look, Macumazahn, there
goes the Babyan-frau. But, MScu-
mazahn, she tcU come back again.
All, why will you not listen to
my words? Have they not always been
true words, Macumazahn?" and he
shrugged his shoulders and turned away.
For awhile was much disturbed, but
at any rate Hendrika was gone for the
present, and Stella, my dear and lovely
wife, was there at my side, and in her
smiles / forgot my fears.
For the rest of the day, why should ]
write of it? there are things too happy
and too sacred to be written of.
At last l had, if only for little
while, found that rest, that perfect joy
which we seek SO continually and SO
rarely clasp.

CHAPTER NL

CHAPTER XI.
Iwonder If many married couples are
quite as happy as we found ourselves.
Cynics, a growing class, declare that few
illusions can survive a honeymoon.
Well, do not know about it, for l only
married once, and can but speak from
my limited experience. But certainly
our illusion, or rather the great truth
of which it is the shadow, did survive,
as to this day it survives in my heart
across all the years of utter separation,
and across the unanswerahle gulf OF
doom. ...
But complete happiness is not allowed
in this world, even for an hour. AS our
marriage day had been shadowed by the
scene which has been described. so our
married life was shadOwed by its own
sorrow.
Three days after our wedding Mr.. Car
son had stroke. 1t had been long i'm
pending, now it fell. We came into the
center hut to dinner and found him ly-
ing speechless on the couch. ~ first l
thought that he was dying, but this was
not so. On the contrary, within four
days he recovered his speech and some
power of movement. But he never re-
covered his memory, though he still
knew Stella, and sometimes myself
Curiously enough he remembered little
Tota the best of all three, though occa-
sionaIly he thought that she was his
own daughter in her childhood, and
would ask her where her mother was.
This state of affairs lasted for some
seven months. The old man gradually
grew weaker, but he did not die. OF
course his condition quite precluded the
idea of our leaving Babyan kraal till all
was over. This was the more distress
ing to me, because l had nervous pre-
sentiment that Stella was incurring
danger by staying there, and also be-
cause the state of her health rendered
it desirable that we should reach a civ
ilized region as soon as possible. How
ever, it could not be helped.
At length the end came very suddenly.

stumble through the fatal green

up so many a bright hope and
blessed aspiration into eternal

broken wife stood with hands

Democratic Gains.
New York World

New York World.
The local elections held on Mon
day in different parts Of country
continue, in the main, the record
Of Democratic gains which began
to appear as soon as the country
saw the character and purposes of
the Harrison administration.
The Democrhtic victories last
November in Ohio, Iowa and Vir-
ginia presaged reaction against
the partisan eycesses which mark
ed the Republican restoration.
The local elections last month
showed that the force OF the popu-
lar revulslon was not spent. And
now from Indiana, tie Presidents
home, from Michigan Ohio, Iowa
and Connecticut comes reports OF
the same nature.
Some of these local contests are,
no doubt, influenced by other than
political considerations. But in
many of the cities and towns a
party conflict was squarely made
and the prepOnderance OF Demo-
cratic gains is too marked not to
be significant.
Ii is evident that the voters of
the country do not approve of
President Harrison's thick-hided
disregard of his pledges, nor of the
Republican policy, as outlined in
Congress, of reducing revenue by
increasing faxes. The signs are
propltious for the election of a
Democratic Congress next autumn.
