In Buenos Ayres my passenger and l

There is in port very respectable
delegation from Searsport. The word
respectable is used in its proper sense
and full meaning. There is the mild
hammered, quiet Capt. Park, plainly
branded gentleman with the appear
ance of a deep thinker; the good ma

Meyers, strictly attentive to business,
and the youthful Blanchard, with the
boutonniere, full of life, energy and
pleasing stories of the Spanish war.
AS all the world knows, there are more
Searsport masters to be met with in
distant ports than from any other two
towns in America. They are men that
any town may be proud of and have
never met one of them who was not
proud of his town, which is one of the
most admirable traits that traveller
may ever possess RICHARDSON.

the time OF emancipation not only was
the labor system revolutionized, but
practically paralyzed for a time. For
the five years following the war the
struggle over the reconstruction of the
states and the enfranchisement of the
negro not only kept labor in a chaotic
condition, but so unuerved the white
people of the south that they did not
begin the work of rehabilitation until
1870. Had the government given the
freedman his mule and forty acres of
land rather than the ballot, which he
has now practically lost, both ex-slave
and ex.master would have been better
off.
Now there was practically peace and
harmony between the races throughout
the south. The laboring population had
never learned the art of politics and were
far less interested in them today than
the white men who were striving to de-
prive the negro OF the ballot. Speaking
OF the conditions in Georgia, Mr.. Wright
said that from landless, homeless class
OF ex-slaves in 1865, the negros had now
become taxpayers to the amount of
$14 ,118, 100, including the ownership of
million acres of farm land. The great
est drawback and Encouragement of the
colored farmers was lack of working
knowledge of the soil and of improved
farming implements. Both in field aud
barn the old methods OF agriculture were
still in vogue among negro farmers.

Debts of American Cities,

Public attention has been called to the
amount of the funded debt of the city OF
New York, which was $3.50, 9O5, 900
Jan. 1, 1901, an increase of $31, 900, 900
over the year previous, and the figures
have provoked unfavorable criticism.
New York's debt has increased largely
since consolidation, but the tendency of
municipal debts to grow is not wholly
peculiar to New York.
Three years ago the net public debt OF
Chicago was $17,013,000. 1t is now
$26,332. 900, substantial increase. The
debt of Baltimore, which was SIS, 000,.
900 three years ago, is now $31, 000,-
O0O and the debt of Boston. which was
$49,000.000 is now $56,OO0,0O0.
Within three years the debt of Phila-
delphia, has increased from $34,000000
to $43, 100000. The debt of Rochester
has increased from So, 100000 to $10,-
100000, and of Buffalo from $13, 300.
600 to $14,100,000.
Three years ago the debt of Cleveland,
o., was $6,200.000, it is now SO, 300
600. In the same period the debt of
Columbus increased from So 100000 to
$4,000 900, Of Detroit from So 100000
to 81 100000 of Indianapolis from
$4,000 900 to So, 900 900 and of Kansas
City from So, 700,0 900 to 100000.
These increases are not due to greater
local expenses so much as to the acquisi-
ton of property. New schoolhouses
must be built and property for them &C.
CURED. New police stations, courts,
jails, armories, fire houses, parks, docks,
markets and prisons are essential to the
administration of American municipal
ties. and as the money for the purchase
OF these cannot be provided for from cur
rent taxes, annually collected, the estab'
hshed and recognized method of munich
pal finance is to issue bonds, which are
IN substance, the city's notes, protected
by its credit and issued against the pur
chase of tangible property which the
city makes.
American municipalities which are not
increasing their bonded debts are, gen
orally speaking, cities in which there is
no growth Of population and little ma
terlal development. AS city enlarges
the expenses OF its maintenance increase,
and these must be provided for even at
the risk of charging its debt obligations.
Compared to other American cities, the
financial operations of New York are
very great, and as the payments on the
account of construction of the new tun.
nel' of the Brooklyn bridges and of the
COCK improvements become due, the
issue of bonds will necessarily be still
further increased. AS New York's debt
has increased, the rate of interest on
new obligations has fallen.-[New York

Cities that Go AstraY.

The closing years of the 10th century
were marked with many notable
achievements in archaeology. On the
site of ancient Iium, on the plains oil
Persia, and in the mystery haunted val.
lev of the Nile, reverent hands unveiled
the long.hidden secrets Of the past and
added a woudrous illumination to our
knowledge of the very dawn of history.
In such work it is gratifying to record
that American bounty and enterprise
and scholarship played most honorable
part, this youngest of the worlds great
nations being foremost in making ac-
uuaintance with the relics of the oldest.
Forty years ago the Marquis de Vogue
discovered in that part OF Syria lying
back Of Antioch traces Of an ancient
civilization OF high order. He was
able, however, to gain only peep into
the marvellous volume written in mighty
monuments amid the desert sands. It
was left for American enterprise in the
last two years of the century to fully un-
fold the ample pages for the amazement
and instruction of the world.
No less than So long-forgotton cities
have been discovered and identified, some
of them with architectural remains of
surprising grandeur and of exceptional
interest as expositions of the civilization
and the social order that there prevail
ed.
The admirable workmanship of ancient
times and the climatic conditions of
those desert uplands have served to
keep these cities from decay, so that they
stand there today substantially as they
were 1000 years ago, and the camera
today lays before US scenes upon which
Zenobia may have looked and across
which Belisarius may have swept in tri-
umph. The story is one that reflects
high credit upon the American explorers
who did the work, and upon the four
Americans whose names are yet modest
ly withheld, whose generous bounty sup
piled the means through which alone the
doing of the work was possible.-[Chi-

"reminiscences of Robert Burns.

Mr.. Tenant, of Ayr, whom | visited
today, has perfect recollection of Burns.
He is wealthy man, without cult
waited intellect, but able to convey clear
and correct impressions of what has
fallen under his observation. He first
knew Burns when attending Mr.. Muir.
doch's school at Ayr, he then fifteen,
Burns about year and a halt older. Mr..
Tenant used to visit Burns at Mount
Ohphant, and stay over might with him,
sleeping in the same bed. The father OF
the poet was intelligent, and, having &C.
quainted himself with some scientific
principles of farming, attempted i'm
provements without success. When he
died Burns, his brother and his sisters
saved themselves from utter ruin by
making up claims for their services,
which, being preferable, left scarcely any
thing for the creditors. This enabled the
family to begin on their own account in
Mossgiel, but injured their character in
the country. Gilbert Burns was refused
by Miss Ronald, living at Bennals.
near Tarbolton. in consequence of her
disapproval of the action and the talk
which it occasioned. Mr.. Tenant
afterward lived in the neighborhood of
Mauchline, and from his twentieth to his
twenty.ffth year his most intimate friend
was Robert Burns. Mr.. Tenant speaks
in enthusiastic terms of the wonderful
intellectual gifts of the poet. Robert had
read much, borrowing books from many.
he read quickly, but remembered all that
was interesting in what he read. Mr..
Tenant was more impressed in his
youth by the powers of discourse shown
by Burns than afterward by his poetry.
His elocution, he says, was like that of
Kean-so deep, so thoughtful, in tones
so emphatic. Whenever he entered into
controversy he carried everything before
him. MIR. Tenant says that Burns never
could endure business. If Mr.. Tenant
spoke of any such thing to him he would
say, 20, talk to my brother about that"
Neither, however, was Gilbert a good
business man. He did not succeed in
any farm he ever had. Mr.. Alexander,
OF Ballochmyle, said he was a mau of
words and not of deeds, meaning that be
