Baboo English.
From NJ. A. p.


The following is sent to NJ. A. P. by an
Indian reader: When Lady Curzon first
went out to India she made a hobby of col
lecting quaint specimens of ''Baboo Eng
lish'-that is. English written by imper-
fectly educated natives. The latter are
very fond of showing off their proficiency
in this direction, and invariably use the
longest words possible. Lady Curzon has
now large and very interesting collection,
which provokes much amusement when
shown to visitors. One of the best and
laost recently added to these illusions is
from a native firm of two brothers in Bonn
bay announcing the death of their father
to their customers, and reads follows
''Gentlemen-We have the pleasure to In
form you that our respected father depart

ness will be conducted by his beloved sons

Sympathy in Science.
the National Magazine


The new political economy, therefore. is
not so much concerned with mathematics
as it is with sympathy. Sympathy Is
word that has no meaning for the old
science of economics; whereas sympathy
is the central conception of the biologist
and hence of the new economics. Cells
have sympathy for one another. and hence
men, being mere compounds of cells. have
sympathy compounded and recompounded
In the highest degree. The old economics
shuts its eyes to all ideas of justice Just
ice, fair division of nourishment, is
conception that has no place whatsoever in
the old political economy; whereas in the
new 1t occupies the center of the stage.
sion of nourishment is necessary for the
work. All cells must have ample supply
of food: indeed, all cells must be supplied
with more than they need,-they must have
superfiuity rather than a scantiness to
draw upon.-if they are to do their work
well. AS with men, some do not require
much as others; what would be super
fluffy for some would be stint for others.
The method by which the cells divide their
store of nourishment is the very method
that was long ago devised by socialists for
the division of wealth:-To each in proper
ton to his needs; from each in proportion
to his power. But in order that each may
receive all that 1t can possibly use, more
than enough must be placed at its dis
posal.

But they are dangerous If not unchecked,
just as there is danger in the attempt 70
check them by crude antitrust leglsla-
ton" The fundamental difficulty, it IS
plain to be seen from perusaf OF these
lectures. that Professor Clark holds in view
Is the difficulty of securing not laws, out
their honest enforcement. He outlines
broad scheme of statutory remedies, but
until the machinery for their application Is
cleaned and made perfect there can be lit
tie hope of securing results. He does not
incline toward government ownership OF
railroads as a cure for the evils of rebates
and other trust tricks. Rather should the
government regulate the rate scales OF the
railroads, to prevent them from discrlmi-
mating in favor of the trusts than operate
the railroads themselves. Nor does he see
hope in government ownership of mines as
a device to prevent high prices fhe army
of mine workers would under government
ownership be constantly clamoring Tor
higher wages with the powerful agency OF
political influence to secure them. Fro-
fessor Clark says:
.If law in America were really law, and
not the expression of advice or pious
wish a trust would not often resort 10 the
dangerous expedient of sacrificing It's goous
in one section of the country WheH, ny ;,
doing it rendered uncollectabie the pilis
for largo amounts charged elsewhere for
so similar goods. We must put NE ehous IL

Montezuma's Treasure.
ON the Mexican Herald.

FROM the Mexican Herald.
Whether the report of the discovery OF
the lncas treasure al Chayaltaya, Bolivia,
is true not, it is certain that the con-
quistadores did not get all the gold of the
last Inca of Peru. nor all the gold and pre-
couS jewels of the Mexican monarch. The
story is that the Incas treasure withheld
from PiZarro and now discovered in Bolivia,
is worth $l6.0O0,0C0. and that the Indians
believe there is still much more hidden
away. PiZarro received a great sum from
the Inca whom he cruelty treated and then
killed him. but in SO doing he missed a
greater amount. which the Inca, hoping to
save his life promiser his tormentor.
In this country one sometimes hears talk
of a great golden sun and other trea sure
hidden secui ely from the early Spaniards.
One gentleman who has the blood of Mon
tezuma in his veins, and in whose family
the traditions of the times of the conquest
have been preserved. has said that proba-
bly, fully $S0.00),Co0 worth of treasure es-
capped the hands of Cortes and his follow

have said that it thrown into Lake
Texcoco, and not many years back a COM
pany we'll provided with funds made eXten-
sve excavations in the Pedregal. near
Coyoacan, on a spot indicated by tradition.
A series of subterranean chambers was
found. but no golden sun.
Both in Mexico and Peru gold was hidden
away from the greedy conquistadores by
the Indians, who cherished the hope OF
making a successful rising against their
conquerors. That hope has long died away.
though much of the hatred for the race or
the conquista dores remains in the breast or
the aborigine.
1t is quite probable that some fine day
much of Montezumas hidden treasure may
be found here, by lucky hit. Perhaps 1t

sentative? There is a mystery in all this,
