THE CAUSES OF POVERTY.
Hard Condition OF humanity Estab-

"The Causes of Poverty Is the subject
OF a paper by the late Francis a. Walker
In the December Century. General
Walker says;
In the first place should without
hesitation say that easily chief among
the causes of poverty is the hard con-
dition OF the human lot rs by nature
established. The prime reason why
breau must be SO dear, and flesh and blood
so cheap, Is that the ratio OF exchange
between the two has been fixed in the
constitution of the earth much 10 the
disadvantage Of tho latter When It is
written that God cursed the ground ard
bade IL be unfruitful, bringing forth
briors and thorns, that man should only
ent his bread with dripping brow, the
Scripture does not exceed the truth OF
tie unceasing and eyer-painful struggle
for existence.
Taking 10 by and large. 10 Is n hard, cold
and cruel world, In which little Is To be
got except by tol, and anguish and of
that little not all can he kept by any de-
gree Of care aud pains. There arc. Indeed,

1t is queer that in the past ten years
Congress has failed 60 pass n national
bankruptcy act, although every Congress
for the decade has had majority In both
branches favorable TO such an act The
prospects are said to be' encouraging for
getting such a law through The present
Congress, although the Same encourage
ment before now has failed TO show justi-
fcation. The conflicting provisions Of tho
various states for the collection of debts,
and the serious Obstacles which often in
terpose to prevent the enforcement of
claims OF foreign creditors against resi-
dent debtors, greatly hinder trade be-
tween the different states, and only by
uniform bankrupt law can creditors and
debtors generally be put on thoroughly
fair and just footing

Africa is pretty well carved up and the
indications areithat the European powers
are strongly disposed to divide the rich
spoil of Asia more or less evenly among
foothold In China that has proved highly
profitable. Russia has been looking ou
for herself, too and Germany has just
gobbled a slice of territory and fine
hsrbor. The Chinese government seems
30 be quite unable to work tho clover
game Of preservation by keeping the
hungry nations at daggers points over the
booty as the Sultan OF Turkey does so
ably ana it would almost seem hs IL any
power that chose to take a slice of China
could send a warship around there and
take it without creating serious embar-
rassmont for itself by reason OF the con-
flioting desire of some other power
OF course, there is always danger that
the plunderers may fall out among
themselves as they invariably do when
Turkey lays itself open 10 spoliation.
But that danger seems not TO DO imminent.
None Of the powers has ventured to inter
fere with Germanys grab. for instance
Even Japan appears not to bo sensitive.
II, indeed, the partitioning of the great
Asiatic empire is scheduled for the future
a scramble may sooner or later result that
will set tie world ablazs. Bat, so far.
the indications are that the slicinR Will
proceed by general consent OF everybody
interested, except, of course, tho helpless
Emperor of China. and without creating
any concern except TO him.
