A ROMAN WAR1NG.

| Other abuses demanding correction were connected with the workmen em- ployed in the maintenance and repair
 of the aqueducts Naturally, the num- Der of such laborers was large From 1 tinus describes two gangs aggregating seven hundred men, including over
 seers, reservoirkeepers, levellers pay CTS, plasterers, etc. The services of
 these men were supposed to be con- l fined to the needs of the state but, by l the exercise of favorltism or the neg 1 lect of their foremen, they were often | put upon private work
 | Frontinus tells us that he resolved at once to bring these men back to sound discipline and { 0 the service of the state by writing down day by day what each was to do, and by putting in the records what the members of each gang had oc- complshed when the days work was ended. Nothing, apparently, escaped
 his watchfu eye; no detail was too
 trivial for his conscientious attention.
 A characteristic passage describes how
 he summarily dispensed with the ser
 vices of number of superfluous em- ployes, who had evidently been appoint
 ed for the purpose of making patron age, and whose posts had long been sinecures.
 By a resolution of the senate, passed in 10 E. C., 1t had been provided that the water commissioner should have two lictors three personal attendants an architect; also a number of secreta- ries, clerks assistants and criers. For over century these supernumeraries had been regularly appointed, and had as regularly drawn their pay from the public treasury; but, according to Fro thus, they had long ceased to perform any visible duties For himself, he proudly adds, he will have no lictors ''My sense of honesty and the confi- dence imposed in me by the emperor will stand in place of the lictors.'
 Other illustrations of the scrupulous honesty and fidelity to duty which mark Frontinus' character might be added, but the foregoing are sufficient to reveal to us the true nobility of the F. Bennett in the Atlan- tic Monthly.

WHERE ARGENTINA STANDS.

United States Not Popular Because it
 Has No Capital in Argentine Enter
 prises.
 Argentines are completely in the dark
 as to any special grounds for gratitude to the United States. If there is such
 reason 1t does not appear in the history
 of the United States or the Argentine
 Republic It is from Europe that we
 get all the capital for the development | of the resources of the republic. The
 United States has never invested any
 considerable capital here, nor has it
 taken an active part in the development | of the country.
 | The great system of the city of Bue- nos Ayres tramway was started by an American, but could get no American capital and fell into the hands of an | English company. The Central Argen- tine railway had like experience, as did several other lines, The capital tramway was started by an American, who had to let 1t go to an English com- pany The Ensenada railway was so
 started and met such an experience.
 The best concession ever given in this
 city for an underground tramway,
 which will make fortunes for its own
 CTS, was hawked about the United
 States by it's concessionaire, who fs an American, until he lost hope, and 1t will be carried through by European capital and enterprise. An American obtained a concession for a railway on terms such as was never equalled He could get no help to build it. The time ex- pired for the construction and was twice extended, to fail at length for the reason that he could get no capital for 1t in the United States. Three times commissioners have come here to urge the Argentine government to vote subsidy for direct steamships from the United States, and one hundred thou sand dollars, gold dollars, year was voted for the purpose. but every time the scheme failed In the United States.
 There Is not a rod of American rail- way in the republic, not dollar inves- ted in banks. tramWays or shipping lines. Seldom do we see in this great port the American flag flying from the mast head of ship, while miles of dock room Is taken with great steam ships flying the flags of all civilized na- tions. There are few commercial hous es in the hands of Americans Of the imports from the United States, by far the greater part are in the hands of English and German houses. We have q German bank with capital of five million dollars, English banks have capital of 31,5O0,00O, eS75,- 900, 92,0O0000 and e1.5000O0, The Spanish bank has q capital of twelve million dollars, the French bank has two million dollars. The Italians have two banks with a capital of three and two million dollars, English railways have invested here amounts which would stagger even American railway men. The business of the country with the outside world is almost exclusively done with, or by way of Europe. Even bills for American transactions are made on Europe.
 Can any one affect surprise, under such circumstances, that the popular interest, feeling and attention is direct ed toward Europe ?-Buenos Ayres Her aid,

THE OLD MASTERS IN AMERICA.


 THE OLD MASTERS IN AMERICA. MT. Henry G. Marquand acquired in 1887, from Lord Methuen's collection at Corsham, the superb James Stuart Duke of Richmond and Lenox," one of Van Dyck's finest performances of the
 English period and a still greater rar ity, the "Joseph's Coat" painted in
 tempera on canvas by Lucas van Ley

 the great European collections, can

A brief for the state in an early Ne braska case indulges in the following prairie flowers of fancy: "Plaintiffs IT, error are afraid that the honor and dignity of the state will suffer, and they invoke for the claimants broad prin- ciples of natural equity. and the claim that neither the laws governing courts nor the constitution S9ply to them. The logical sequence is this-that persons who hold claims against the state are a favored class, who can alone make wings of justice and right to fly to that mystic region above and beyond the trammels of law. and where such unjust things as contracts and written constitutions do not exist; but where for them a straight and narrow path was leads to the treasury, whose doors without stint or delay, turn softly on golden hinges to admit them.

One of the mining papers of the
country gives out statement that
in the Cananea mines Mexican la
Dor is used freely because it is the
cheaper labor, although the Mexi,
can law requires that hree-fourths
f the employees of every corpora
tion operating in Mexico shall be
natives OF the country. While nat
i've employees are paid but 175f
per day and the American miner
five or six dollars per day the la
Dor of the American is the cheaper
of the two A Mexican miner sell
dom earns even the small pittance
that he is paid Of course, there
are exceptions, but these are rare.
The class of labor employed by the
American mining companies in
Mexico is undesirable and if the
law did not make such employ
ment comp .lsory there would be
but little of it used. The Mexican
miner that can command wages
does not enter the employment of
either the American or Mexican
mining companies, but seeks other
methods of obtaining a livelihood,
either by tributing or going over
the line into the United States,
where his abilities may be recog
nized The Mexican government
sets the scale of wage to be paid to
employees in the mine and brooks
no Infringement of the scale. This
is done to prevent strikes and la
Dor disturbances among the wage
earners. While correspondents pro-
fess to state truly why the Mexican
is employed the reasons given
above are the real ones.

Many people who have expert
mented largely with cyanic treat
ment of iron sulphide and arsenous
iron ores express purprise with re-
suits obtained because of the fact
that they are unaware of the diff
ferences existing in the character
of the iron The arsenous ores are
not usually acid and, therefore,
there is little if any c, anic reac-
ton, while in the treatment of iron
sulphide the cyanide is attacked to
a perceptible degree. In this coun-
ty the ores beirg largely arsenous
possibly can be treated successfully
by cyanide To the ordinary ore
producer there may be no difference
in the ores, but once a miner is
made familiar with the difference
he will easily distinguish between
them. Several gentlemen are just
now making experimental tests of
arsenous ores and their results are
being awaited with interest.
