Lord Beaconsfield married for

piest of his life.
Edmund Burke's political career
was immensely aided by his wife, who
undertook the management of his pri-

public duties. Their marriage was an

ance, but her natural talent in the use
of her pencil enabled her to give ac-

No wonder the real estate business In
Chicago IL dead.
People are tired of paying the taxes
Of others.
Owing to the bribery Of Assessors by
the Gas Trust and other rich corpora.
lions the assessed valuation Of Chicago
property gets lower every year, while
the taxes of those who have to pay
grow larger in amount.
The expenses Of the city are greater
every year and the poor man who pays
taxes has to meet them. The Gas Trust
and other bribers are not affected.
The honest taxpayers of Chicago pay
greater percentage on each 500 of
their assessed valuation than the pco.
pie Of any other city in the United
States.
The following figures taken from the
New York World Almanac for 1900 and
furnished by the Mayors Of the cities
named, speak for themselves:

Chicago Is the victim Of the bribe.giv.

all that the people have and give them
nothing in return.
Chicago gives the Gas Trust and the
other tax lodging corporations police
protection and fire protection. 1t gives
the Gas Trust its streets free Of charge.
And In return the Gas Trust cheats
Chicago out of Its taxes and forces the
city to pay It millions Of dollars for
the poor apology for gas furnished to
its lampposts and public buildings.

perfect understanding that Mr.. Chatelain

protection that he has been able to give

is customary to count the cost even of the
rescue of human souls, and to Judge Of the
merits of any work by the dollars and
cents saved in its progress. Viewed from
this side only, Mr.. Chatelain's work may
be counted a success. The report goes on
to say: Experience proves that $4,000
francs is enough to start a station, which
at the end OF three years can support it.

opinion, Of the ultimate success of this
work lies in the difficulty of securing men

ity necessary for carrying 1t on. These two
qualifications Mr.. Chatelain combines in a
very unusual degree, and 30 long as the
work is dominated by his personality 1t
will be the thorough. Earnest, common

Its progress will be watched with the ut

HELPING THE AFRICAN NEGRO.

Readers of THE Workman" will remem-

League, which when 1t last appeared in
| these columns was only a noble plan for
| the practical education of the African
negroes. The third report Of the league,
| published in French, has just come to
hand, and shows that Mr.. Chatelain's we'll
matured plans have been crowned so far
with the success they deserve.
Mr.. Chatelain's plan was to found chain
| of model villages or stations of freed
slaves or free natives, who should agree
to renounce whisky. slavery, polygamy
and sorcery and to adopt civilized ways
| These villages would act as cities of
refuge to fugitive slaves, and would exer-
else a constant influence for peace and for
Christianity. To aid him in his work,
! he wished to take out with him to Africa
| Christian teachers, who should show the
| native Africans how to carry on the chief
! industries upon which our civilization
rests. He and his teachers, who were to
be without salary, were, as quickly as pos
sible, to render their work entirely inde-
pendent of outside aid. They were to con-
tent themselves with Indigenous food,
build their houses after the African man
ner, cultivate their own land, and raise
for themselves what animals were neces-
sary for their support. They were to pro-
cure anything they needed from the out
side world by buying the native products,
ivory, wax, and India rubber, and estab-
fishing trade route to the coast. This,
while not a large programme, seemed a
difficult one. because Of the great sacri-
fee and devotion required of such as
should undertake the work.
The many labors and the absolute pr,mi-
tive. homely, every-day-ness Of the UNDER
taking do not seem to have discouraged
everybody, for on July %. 1885, Mr.. Chate-
lain left New York for Africa, accom-
panied by four associates, Mr.. and Mrs.
Bell, and Mr.. and Mrs. Lea. Their first
station was established on the plateau Of
Angola, in Portuguese Africa, about one
hundred and fifty miles from the coast, and
called Lincoln. Here the original Eve
were Joined in August, 1898, by three
young men, one from New York, one from
Jamaica. and one from Switzerland. The
station thus re-enforced feels itself pre-
pared for better work, and the report
points with justifable pride to what has
already been accomplished:
"The construction OF many dwelling
houses Of two storehouses, Of a stable and
poultry yard well stocked with cattle and
poultry of many kinds; the successful cul-
ture Of extensive fields. producing now
plants from many species Of European and
American seeds: the establishment of
water power; the creation of commercial
relations which benefit blacks as well as
whites; hundreds Of natives who have
worked for the mission initiated into civil
