TEACHING POOR TO SAVE.
Hope of Decent Funeral Moves Them to
a Certain Thrift.

of dull. Her very definitions of saving as post
poned consumption purchasing power

when she went on TO talk of the educational
value of saving-how thrift was not anything

must be the result of his own character build

pages OF the notebook which every student at
the school OF philanthropy keeps

are the most fortunate commercial concerns In
the world in getting abundant advertising with

PROTEST FROM CONGO.
Fifty-t7co Missionaries Send appeal
to Reform Association.

Boston, Feb. ga protest and appeal from
ifty-two missionaries. representing seven national
tiles working the Congo, setting forth 1.-THE
present state of affairs in the country was re-
ceived in this city to-day simultaneously by the
American Baptist Missionary Union and by the
Congo Reform Association. Seventeen of the fifty
two sgners missionaries of the Baptist mis-
sion. The document expresses great disappoint-
that the memorial presented to the sovereign
of the State through the Governor General, on
March l. 1891 has elected no reply" and sets forth
regret that the report of the commission of in
quiry published does not convey to the general
public adequate impression of what has oc-
Cured since so much evidence presented has been
omitted only referred to in very modified
terms and says:
state of affairs still existing in the Congo State
and we appeal IN the name OF Justice liberty ana
help in every lawful way TO secure them for all
the Congo people
The natonalities represented among the sgners
were the United States, Great Britain Canada. Ger
many. Sweden, Norway and Denmark, and the
document adopted at the third general con-
ference of the missionaries at Kinchassa, Stanley
Pool. January Il.
After expressing regret over the terms of the re-
port Of the commission of inquiry the document
continues:
Although we recognize the courtesy of the COM
missioners and their impartiality in hearing evil
Gdinss have enrey iustIaed the aftide taken
by missionaries and others in exposing this terrible
state of affairs still feel that the reforms sug
gested merely palliative leaving untouched the
main root of the evil which we all recognize to be
the system in force. On the one hand, this system
wherever applied, robs the native of his right TO
the free of the land and its products. and, on
the other. conpels him to labor serf under the
name of taxation, while for the most part prac-
tically nothing is being done for the good OF the
native thus taxed.
We are convinced that the atrocities which have
been abundanty proved. and which will continue to
be perpetrated, less than the general oppression
resulting from this so-caed taxation are the nat
ural outcome Of the system adopted of the radical
alteration of which no sign.
A meeting Of the Congo Reform Association ex-
ecutive committee has been called for next Wednes
day to discuss plan of action in view of the
protest. At the time the association will
consider Secretary Roots letter, published to-day
to the effect that the United States has right TO
interfere with the governing of the Congo.
