A Country of Easy Going Habits.


The evidence l gathered from the most
various sources about the Paraguayan ma
tives was always the same. An English
ex-naval officer and eX-elephant hunter in
Africa, who has a cane distillery near Par
aguari, was of opinion that Paraguay is
not going TO improve in the immediate fu-
ture In twenty or thirty years time,
when the population has increased and life
has become more difficult, there may be
change
At present the people have mandiocs and
oranges in abundance. They need net
work, and they viii not work. This gen.
tleman thought that the ParaGuayans were
most happy under the severe tyranny OF
Francia and Lopez, when they were all
practically slaves, and he regretted that
foreigners are not allowed to come IN and
buy land, because it means 10 the natives
an ultimate loss Of nationality.
Another EnglishmaR, who had been
three years cattle farming at San Ignacio,
told me that ever since he had been there
be had never got a stroke of work out Of
the natives dwelling on his land; they live
on oranges, mandioca and mate, and viii
not work. On his estancia he has &C, 600
orange trees, but for want Of means of
transportation the fruit has no market
value. Under the trees the oranges lie on
the ground foot deep, and the cattle eat
them and fatten well.
This observer suggested that it might be
good thing for Paraguay IL the govern
ment caused the orange trees TO be Gu.
down, as the government of Costa Rica at
one time had the bananiers destroyed, with
a view to stamping out laziness and ehliS-
ing the people TO work for their bread.
All this seems strange. Nature and the
Jesuits have given these Paraguayans tbs
means of life and oblivious felicity in the
shape of mandioca, oranges, mate and tor
bacco. They enjoy a climate so delightful
that clothes are scarcely needed. And yet
the meddlesome Europeans are surprised
and irritated because they do not work.

OUR PAUPER POPULATION.

An interesting census bulletin IS that
recently sent out, showing the number OF
pauDers in the almshouses of the country.
No almshouses are reported in Alaska
the Indian territory, Oklahoma or Wy
oming, and New Mexico reports only one
pauper within her limits.
The almshouses of America contain
70, O45 inmates, of whom 66, 576 are white
and ,467 colored, the latter class con
tanning thirteen Chinese and thirtY-six
Indians.
The following extract from the census
bureau bulletin is both interesting and
instructive.
In respect to nativity, not including
the colored paupers, who may all be sup
posed to be natives except the thirteen
Chinese. of the &C, 578 sswhite paupers,
$685. are native born, 27,64S foreign
born, and the place of birth of 1924 is
unknown.
OF the st, 656 native paupers, y, 5l9 had
both parents native, 919 had one parent
native and one parent foreign born
$3.50 had both parents foreign born,
ana III 1U,OOO cases JDS DlI pace
of one or both parents is unknown
Leaving out of view the 10,608
whose parentage is unknown in whole
or in part, there remain &c, 4S cases in
which the proportion of native and for
eign blood can be estimated. If to the
,5i9 native paupere born of native
parents is added one-half of the number
with one parent foreign born, the sum is
q, $685. If to the $3.50 native paupers
born of foreign parents is added an
equal amount, the sum is 4,0545. But
to this latter figure must also be added
q, 648 foreign born paupers, which gives
as a result 81, 702.5. In other words, the
foreign population of this country con-
tributes, directly or indirectly, in the
persons of the foreign born or of their
Immediate descendants very nearly
three-fifths of all the paupers supported
in almshouses. The disproportion be-
tween the two clements in respect of
the burden of pauperism is even greater
than that in respect of crime. The for
eign born paupers alone outnumber all
OF the white native paupers whose par
entage is known, whether the same be
native or foreign. They also equal in
number all of the white native paupers
of purely native origin and the colored
paupers taken together.

THIS YEARS FIRE LOSSES.

The Standard, the weekly insurance
paper of Boston, prints a statement of
fire losses in the United States from
January /, 1891, to June 49, According
to this showing the total fire losses thus
far this year have been equal to S6l 3D.
900. This is very much larger sum
than the average loss in years gone by.
1t may be said that, with the exception
of the years which include the great
fires of Chicago and Boston, there has
not been a twelve months in the history
of this country when the fire losses have
reached the magnitude that they will
have reached if the record of the past
five and one-half months is to be con-
tinued through the year. The Standard
estimates that if this series of losses is
continued the aggregate at the end of
the year will be more than 1882, 0OO, 900
an amount of wealth which even in
such a great and rich country as ours
cannot be turned into ashes without
having some effect upon the prosperity
Of our people.
The most curious feature in this ex-
perience is that these losses are not in
dividually immense ones. There has been
no great sweeping contagration which
has DESTROYED in a few hours property
to the value of many millions of
dollars, but in place of this, there have
been an extraord nary number of fires
which have led to loss of anywhere
from $4,000 to $500, 900, and, what is
quite as singular, no part of our country,
with the possible execution of New Eng
land, has been free from these infections.
1t seems to be impossible to assign any
special cause for this unfortunate state
of affairs. Business has not been so poor
as to warrant the supposition that an
unusual number of incendiary fires oc-
CURED, and there is no evidence to show
that this form of criminality is On the
increase.
The experience has to be accepted, in
the absence of better information, as an
unaccountable incident On general
principles it may be affirmed that if
building construction throughout the
country was greatly improved there
would be notable diminution IN the
ratio of fire loss, and possibly the lesson
to be learned by the experience we are
now undergoing Is the necessity of re-
yising and strengthening building regu-
lations In the meantime the Insurance
companies are finding themselves sub
jected to a severe strain; hence it is not
at all strange shat reports are received
from week to week of corporations of
this kind going out of existence in cOnse-
quence of their inability to successfully
carry on their business.

DIsCREDITABLE TO REPUBLICS.
From the Atchison Champion.

From the Atchison Champion.
1t is singular and by no means fiat
tering fact that the two great republics
Of civilization, France and the United
States, have refused to accede to the
Brussels convention for the suppression
of the African slave trade. The infiu-
ence which has succeeded in preventing
the favorable action by the United States
senate is supposed to be the interest
whose traffic in liquor with Africa would
be cut off by the Brussels convention;
while it is asserted that the slave dhows
use Madagascar as convenient depot Tor
their nefarious commerce, and thus en-
ploy the French flag for their protection.
Altogether the attitude of the two repub-
lies in standing aloof from the cause OF
humanity for selfish reasons is far from
pleasant to people who think that Re
publicanism should take the lead in
movements for the benefit of oppressed
and maltreated humanity.
The weak arguments used to justify
this attitude are ememplified by the Phil
adelphia Times, which declares 1t TO be
''goOd American doctrine to deny the
right Of search, and recalls the fact that
Lewis Cass, when minister to France,
induced Louis PHILIPPE to REJECT similar
treaty for the suppression of the slave
trade on the same ground-the question
of the right of search. This is quite pos
sible; and is an illustration of the lengths
to which the pro-slavery power made the
doughface element of that day go, that
our minister to France had influenced
the French king to obstruct the fight
against the sum of all villainieS On such
a slim and miserable pretext.
To deny the right Of search, to protect
free men from being seized by impress
ment, or to protect the rights of legal
traders, is one thing. Denying the right
of search so as to afford protection to
barbarians and pirates under the flag Of
a civilized republic is quite another. The
two great Republics of the world-France
and the United States-cannot afford to
even indirectly champion the cause of
the Arab dealers in humanity for the
sake of few dirty, paltry dollars.
