The White Mans Civilization.

From the London Truth.
 As a question of color it is perfectly in- different to me whether I am white, black, yellow, red or brown, although as a mat ter of personal taste I prefer the bronzed color of a Red Indian. But in view of the present attitude of white men toward those of other colors, am glad to have been born white
 On the west coast of Africa we whites are Derpetuay engaged in civilizing eX- neditions which consist in burning the Vl- Iaees of black men and firing at them. In East Africa we have in the last few months civilized some twenty thousand darl<-brown Soudanese off the face of the globe. The United States are carrying out the white mans civiizng mission in the Philippines by slaushering the yellow inhabitants be- cause they have the effrontery to wish to be independent of American rule. In Sa- moa we and the Americans are throwing shot an1 shell into the villages of light brown people in order to show the Ger mans that they must not be allowed to have tne'r way there. In China all white men are quarreliing over the spoil, each being determined to show the others that every one has rights there except the yellow Cchlnese.
 All this is being done in the interest of white civilization, and so distrustful are the ohilanthropists themselves of each oth- CT that they are all adding gun to gun, ship to ship and soldier to soldier in case any one of them should get the better of the others in this humanizing mission.

Tie Best Part Of Life.

From the Windsor Magazine.
 What period of life is most enjoyable? This is a question suggested by the gos- sip of the veterans as interesting as that of their diet or their habits. MT. Firth, R. A., by the way, declares he has no rules about eating, and he tells friend who gives porridge as the secret of old age that if old age can only De had by living on porrdge he prefers a short life. As to the enjoyable period of life the late MT. Kee- ly said life grew healthier as the years went on and that mankind had better days before it than behind. Mrs. Cady Stanton, who is eighty-three. says that life was never fuller or sweeter to her than it is now when she understands the true phil osophy of life, wastes no energy in regrets of the past or fears for the future. "'rhe future is a sealed book. and the past can not be remediod" She lives in the pres ent. bending all her energies to the duties of the hour. Sir Charles Gavan Duffy says "rhe most tranquil and serene per iod of my life was from my sixty-fourth to my seventy second year.

terward increased, was voted by the legis- lature for railroads and canals.
 When the crash came the state sold the Michigan Central railroad, the most prom ising of it's schemes, to private capitalists for S2, 100000 far below cost.
 Thus was public ownership of railroads wounded in the house of it's friends. More than fifty years elapsed before it was again seriously proposed in Michigan that either the state or the municipality could become a common carrier.
 Later American Panics.
 It's the fashion to speak of 1873 as a year of railroad panic.
 That is not the case. It was a panic caused by speculating upon land with fu- ture value which could not be promptly re- aized.
 In 1857 another strngency followed the ex- pansion of trade, caused by the discovery of gold in California-a discovery which added many millions to the assets of the country and yet was so grossly over-dis- counted that it involved armies of men in ruin.
 After tho civil war excessive trading on credit and inflated currency caused in 1S6G another panic.
 Whatever Rory O'More may have said, there has been little luck in odd numbers in the darting of financial crashes. True, it was in 1890 that the failure of the Earrings resulted from overtrading in the securities or Argentina, ono or the rlcnest and most promising countries in the world; but the exception proves the rule. It was in 1891 that the crash in Australia emphasized again that the luck in finan- cial odd numbers is confined to those who wield the shears. And the worst results of the panic came to this country in 1893. with currency contraction and the pushing Co the wall of weak concerns. Since the beginning of the decade there have been minor flurries which show that the increase of capital seeking investment and the increase in mems blood of the fever of gambling-will not let them be con- tent with docennial shearing, but leads to the taking of wool almost annually. The Panama canal and the Secretan Cop per syndicate have dipped ravenous fingers into the deep stockings of the peasants of France.
 The widows and orphans of England-or | their guardians-joined with stock-m arket 1 gamblers in those crazed crowds that in l 1897 sought South African mining shares in | such numbers that the police of London could not open a way through the striving, | panting. surging throng even for the traf- | fic of the city streets.
 There are signs that the coming crash will l recall those of 1887 and 1873.

A Model Underground Railway.

Budapest Letter to Chicago Record.
 That same evening I took ride on the undergr 3und railway There didn't seem to be any real need for an underground railway along this street, but the citizens of Budapest wanted to have everything that any other city had The line did not seem to be more than a milo long, and was built the length of one street without any turns An underground railway in State street from the river to Twelfth street would hold the same relative position. In London when you ride on the underground you go through dark and ill-smelling Nn- nels. with the smoke of the locomotive pouring in at the windows The Budapest railway is laid through a white corridor for its entire length. The cars arc pro pelled and lighted by electricity and @re exceedingly comfortable, with big, ropmy seats, thickly cushioned. M
