that Filipino money WAS worth only half

The secretary's report was as follows:
The termination of another twelve
months In the history of the Home finds
matters moving on successfully, after the
same fashion as formerly.
One member has been admitted to the
family, and one has died during the year.
In July, Mr.. John III. Marston. who
has aided his wife in the conduct of
ubiic, passed away. His devotion to,
and his interest In this case, merit this
mention, at this time.
In the closing of the winter, Mr.. Henry
Fox, the first and only auditor OF this cor
poration, entered upon new existence.
As useful citizen and genial friend.
he will be reinem Dered by the men Of has
generation.
Owing to i'll health. Mrs. Marston. ma
| tron for more than fourteen years. retired
| In pril; of her labors here it is sufficient
| to say that her long term of service
speaks for itself
The last vacancy has been filled by
| Mrs Henry g. Stone, and the managers
| feel confident that, under her guiding
hand, the institution will maintain the
position 1T has held from the start.
In spite of increasing inhrmlties and
| cold season, which proved disastrous to
| many others, the aged men have, as a
| rule. been blessed with fair health.
| Some Improvements have been made in
side the building this spring. and more
should be done, did the funds permit;
that the latter will increase seems to be
a certainty, 1t one can judge by the past
experience, and evidences of good will
abound. Indoors they take the form OF
h,lpful deeds on the part of the inmates
and those employed on the premises
without, they come in various shapes, in
legaoies, in discounts. in miscellaneous
gifts. What does this Indicate? Simply
that the heart of the Portland citizen
beats warmly for his own, and that a
work like this can never he forgotten.

Zulu war, which cost her e6,OO0, 600
Year by year the English taxpayer ha,
groaned under the South African bur
den, truly and especially the heavy
burden Of the white man." Yet, after
all, England, whenever she gave equal
privileges and equal laws, and especially
the franchise, was thus handing over
a political weapon to foe that meant to
stab and strike her in the back. Better,
some might exclaim, In the bitterness OF
their hearts, that the Cape Colony, Dutc b
in the main, had remained acrown colony
TO this very hour. Better the German
system Of the rifle and saber and all the
methods ol crude militarism. Better
the jackboot OF the cuirassiers. Better
the heavy heel Of despotism than the
mild wand Of constitution nal government.
England's greatest act Of compensa-
tory justice-indeed, the greatest act Of
philanthropic reparation done at any
time or by any people, viz, the slave
. nancipation act OF l834-has been
made the chief stumbling block of often.
Sc among these ignorant nomad peas
ants. Not being allowed TO work their
sweet will with sjambok and slave whip
upon the backs Of wretched Hottentots
and Rafiirs, they trekked away into the
desert. Let us appraise this Boer exo-
dus at its true value. 1t was not sim.
ply and entirely liberty that these So
called "Pilgrim Fathers" desired, for
they have never known how to read
this honored word Alright. No, it was
license, the license of the taskmaster
and of the slavedriver. How true il is
again in history that slavery degrades
