The old adage, complete happiness
does not exist on earth, does not apply
to the reverend redemptionist congre
cation. ,
For them happiness has very real
|extistence.
Besides a house. light and water
gratis, they have obtained permission
to travel constantly in order to enjoy
their official leisure, spending part
of their princely salaries in instructive
pleasure expeditions.
The journeys of the functionaries
succeed each other with such fire.
quency that it is remarkable when all
the members of the congregation are
in the island at the same time.
At one time it is the Oracle, another
the Sociologist, and still another the
truculent Mr.. Elliot; all of them 60 to
spend enjoyably the proceeds of their
|sinecures: they go to recover, IN an
atmosphere of excitement and feverish
movement, from the effects of their
prolonged quiet as redemptionist func-
|tionarles.
They are all cut after the same pat
tern, all adopt the same line of con
duct.
The time they should employ in
profound researches and deep study
of the institutions of redeemed pee
pies, the days and months required
for the proper appreciation of the i'm
portance involved in such a labor as
above indicated, are employed by
these bureaucrats in making trip ps as
unnecessary as they are frequent, as if
the official positions they are occupy
ing without regard to justice and tAe
will of the people did not prescribe
for them other occupations and dict
ate a different manner of procedure.
These people act as if they thoug ght
there was nothing to be done in the
colony. that there was nothing to study
here, nor that it was necessary to treat
seriously any of the questions implan-
ted by OVERLOOKING expansionism.
Our functionaries find much more
comfortab BILE the system which they
have adopted.
To ignore absolutely the will of the
country, to declare war against every
thing they do not understand, trying
to destroy rather than study the ins
titutions of the natives, Wishing :Sto
substitute for them some anarchieal
and exotic practices which are in
charge of all the fssnctiouaries that
arrive, in order to accumulate upon
the island infinite wretchedness and
causes for increasing disaffection.
The time that is wasted in excur-
sions and trips ought to be spent In
studying our systems and our methods
which the functionaries do not know
even specifically; but which, never
theless, they insist on destroying for
their own personal advantage and
with evident injury to the public
welfare.
Nothing ever occurs which is consi
dered of sufficient importance to en-
gage the attention of these superior
beings.
