He tries to prove his conclusions by local statistics which show more deaths than births of colored persons In South Carolina cities. In his deduction he is not supported by the latest census. It may be contended that the development of the American negro has been tardier than his friends anticipated when citi- zenship was given to him. Nevertheless, such development Is actually taking place. The Chilian congress has recently enacted legislation guaranteeing the capital of the Transandine Railway Company for 20 years at 4 per cent, which virtual subsidy will enable the completion of the road between the two oceans. The line will do a great deal for South America. Its completion will mean that the long Journey around Cape Horn is only for cargoes and that passengers Instead of prolonging a voyage about two weeks can reach the Pacific Atlantic or vice versa in 72 hours. The gain afforded by this route can be Imagined. Chili Is brought some thousands of miles nearer the United States and England, and she will be no longer a remote country. from the Charles R.

HOW- ells has written for the Century two R. entitled papers "Tribulations of a Cheerful Giver," giving his experiences with the beg-- g i n g fraternity. following is taken from the The first paper, lished in the pubcur- He seemed to be resting his elbows on his knees, and holding out both his hands. As I came nearer I perceived that he had no hands, but only stumps, where the fingers had been cut off close to the palms, and that it was these stumps he was holding out in the mute appeal which was his form of begging. Otherwise he did not ask charity. When I approached him he did not look up, and when I stopped in front of him he did not speak. I thought this rather fine, in its way; except for his mutilation, which the man really could not help, there .was nothing to offend the taste; and his immobile silence was certainly impressive. I decided at once to give him something; for when I am in the presence of want, or even the appear ance of want, there is something that says to me, "Give to him that aaketh," and I have to give, or else go arway with a bad conscience a thing I hate. Of course I do not give much, for I wish to be a good citizen as well as a good Christian; and as soon as I obey that voice which I cannot disobey, I hear another voice reproaching me for en couraging street beggary. I have been taught that street beggary is wrong, aid when I have to unbutton two coats and go through three or four pockets before I can reach the small coin I mean to give in compliance with that imperative voice, I certainly fceel it to be wrong. So I compromise, and I am never able to make sure that either of those voices is satisfied with me. I am not even satisfied with myself; but I am better satisfied than if I gave noth ing. That was the selfish reason I now3 had for deciding to yield to my better nature, and to obey the voice which bade me "Give to him that asketh;" for, as I said, I hate a bad conscience, and of two bad consciences I always choose the least, which, in a case like this, is the one that incensed political economy gives me. I put my hand into my hip pocket where I keep my silver, and found nothing there but a half dollar. This at once changed the whole current of my feelings; and it was not chill pen ury that repressed my noble rage, but chill affluence. It was manifestly wrong to give half a dollar to a man who had no hands, or to any sort of beggar. was willing to commit a small act of incivism, but I had not the courage to flout political economy to the extent of fifty cents; and I felt that when I was bidden "Give to him that asketh," was never meant to give so much as a half dollar, but a cent, or a half-dimor at the most a quarter. I wished I had a quarter. I would gladly have given a quarter, but there was nothing in my pocket but that fatal, that inexr, the conorably Indivisible two tinent of quarters, but not practia I would have asked quarter. cally to in change it for me. anybody sight th'ere no was one but passing; it was a quiet street of brownstone dwellings, .Edward Pike thp steps of a house.

He is very confident from his observations that a sub- stantial and profitable trade can be established if the American manufacturers will comply with the English ideas of style and finish. It is useless, he thinks, to try to force goods upon the English market which are not built on the accepted lines, but by making necessary changes goods can be manufactured here and sold in England In competition with the English manufacturers at a substantial profit.
