An ingenious and patient English |
man has figured out the cost of an hour |
Of government since the beginning of |
the century. In France the figures show |
an alarming tendency to increase. I'm |
der Napoleon an hour of government |
cost 115,O00 francs: under Louis Phil |
lippe, 100000; under the Second Repub- !
lie, 100000; under Napoleon III, 249,OOO;
from 1870 to 1880, 100000; on account of
the raising of the average by the cost
of the war with Germany, but from 1880 |
to 1890 the cost was 403, 900 francs an
hour A French paper remarks that
this seems to prove the undesirabilty
Of paying a government by the hour
or by the day: payment by the piece,
according to the work done, is the only
way, 1T thinks.

pagan. The Tagals ordinarily count as
aborigines, but in reality they are the
descendants of invaders. The aborig-
inal people are the Negrotes. Then
came the Ingrotes from China, and
next the Tagals. who seem to be of In
dian origin. Both invading races were
finally assimilated with the true ma
tives, more or less completely, and to
the Negrotes, Ingrotes and Tagals most
of the present tribes are traced. Of lat
