their king is about to marry. This act
on his part means more to those peo-

The conditions at Australia and the
Philippines show the differences in the
methods Of government practiced by
Great Britain and Spain. In Australia
practically the same civilized condi-
tions exist as in England, and every
thing that can be done to reform the
natives is being done. But there are
no cities in Europe that are more fine
ly built than Sydney and Melbourne or
which enjoy higher civilization. In
the Philippines, with the possible ex-
ception Of Manila, where the presence
of a few English, German and Ameri-
can residents, give some signs of civili
zation, the people are in the same prim.
tive condition now as when they came
under Spanish sway three centuries
ago. Nothing whatever has been done
to develop the vast revenues of the isl
andS or to educate and civiliZe the peo-
pie. All the means of public inStruc-
ton are in the hands of religious So
cieties, which use every effort to keep
the natives in ignorance, that they
may be the more easily dominated and
oppressed. The people are robbed that
none may accumulate property enough
to send their children away to be edu-
Gated. 1t is through the few that have
been sent abroad that the late revolu-
tions have been encouraged, and the
natives made to IealIze the tyranny
and despotism of Spain.

ly to pay he usually submits to the
outrage. Englishmen, on the other
hand, are tenacious of their rights rs
against corporations or public ser
wants, even at great cost to themselves.
Frenchmen can also on occasion show
a like spirit. A good example Of it has
lately been brought to the public atten-
ton in Paris. 4 business man, forced
by misadventure to wait an hour and
Il half at railway station, took up the
table of rates and charges, which the
railroad company was required to keep
open to the public. He found that the
advertised fare for the trip he was
about to make was twenty-nine francs
and ninety-five centimes, whereas the
fare usually cXacted was thirty francs.
When he bought his ticket he offered
twenty-nine fraucs and ninety-tiye cen
times; the agent refused to give him
ticket. He paid thirty francs under
protest and after his return to the city
demanded the return Of the excess
about one cent in our money. The
company refused to refund it, he
sued the railroad company for restitu-
ton, and won his case. The company
appealed, and the first decision was

was in the citizens favor; the company
was ordered to restore the cent to him,
and to lower it's fare to the prescribed
figure. The litigation cost the company
more than three thousand francs, and
the citizen about a thousand. He had
vindicated a principle, and no doubt
considered himself well repaid. The
