And handing me a ptla of them, selected al hasard. he add ed: "There are so many that you will never find out what they are all about." In which he spoke truly. A spacious, white and deserted stair case led me to a room above. It looked |ik ons immense school room, ami the walls were covered with such a bewilder ing array of charts, graphics and dia grams that my head ached at the thoughts of the study Involved In under standing them. Truly, as t'arlyls said, political econo my Is the gloomy science. The Mienoanls In this spacious gallery were even mote Ignorant and less polite then those below. They seemed to be especially chary of giving Information. While looking round the place I observed The white man's half of the U. a Department. Dr. Telman In charge. the m-PrMldMt of Iho republic, M. Caa tmlr-Perier. In con variation with another distinguished gentleman, evidently dis tinguished, for ho wore a red button In Ini buttonhole. For that U the fashion of the high mandarine in Franco. 1 discovered later that M Caalmlr-Pe rler waa there on account of having to preside over the Congress of "Public Charity and Private ltcnevolence." By dint of diligent Inquiry 1 discovered, too, that thia upper part of the buttling was devoted to the sennee# of congreasee, and that from theee congreases the otMsi.ie public ware excluded. That perhaps ac counted for the guarded reticence of the attendants. They seemed to feel prowl because* they belonged to exclusive *o cietiaa. / A Japanese savant was deeply engrossed In studying the titles of various pam phlets and books lying on s shelf—" The Social Problem.” •'The Condition of the Working Poor.” etc. He had a grey beard and aj ceaclea, and that peculiar look which cornea on man who have road Kue kin. Encouraged, therefore, 1 enterod Into conversation. He told me that 1 had come at rather an unfavorable hour. Tha Palais dea Ctongres was often much gayer. 1 fully believed that, for tuny change what ever would huve been a step toward light nets of spirit. My Japanese friend. after assuring me that "Progress and Poverty" would eoon be a great problem In Japan—always an enterprising people, you see—gave me a programme. Certainly, as to education, there was no lack of it here. Tha range of congress** extended from homeopathy *o the Wtsly of o.d coins; from vegetarianism to fenc ing; from the Malory of religions to the kwra of tha teeth. It was unfortunate i I thouaht, that the*# congresses were re | ml to the aet^oi. laamraral la Labor t’tasaes. I descended *saln. renolved this time to unravel the mystery of each aectlon of exhibit*. 1 will note a few point* that stru. k me, so that Intruding visitor* may tie encouraged to persevere The general Idea running throughout this section. 1 may say. Is that of the Improvement of the condition of the working claeees. Each country, therefore, put* Its law: foot for ward. and the optimism of the chart* ois ptayed waa calculated to convince one that thla world was rapidly becoming the bi*t of all possible spheres. Stallatlc* demol ished misery wholesale, and the chart* seemed to be cbushing poverty out of ex istence.

Nearby !• the American room—a little chamber, "more neat than solemn." as Byron aaye of Dante's tomb. I was surprised to see all America, even all social and economic America In so small a space. After what I had observed In the French section 1 could not believe that the industrial aide of America could be exhibited In such a scanty compartment. Asa matter of fact the exhibits are absolutely Inade quate, though perhaps tho exiguity of tha •pace afforded by the French authorities may stand as a partial excuse. America, however, was admirably repre sented by an Intelligent young lady. Mias Moget. who not only made obscure mat ters clear and who expounded eloquently all that was tn show, hut who revealed how the limits of space could tie expanded by the deft arrangements of huge photo graphic volumes, which occupied only a limited superficial nrea, but which opened into long rlslss of Infoi motion and delight The great note of America was the grand scale of Industrial developments of wheat growing, ot cotton growing, of ratlwaya, of lumber, of everything. In the same room Is a very fine and In teresting cthlbit, that Illustrating the progress of the negro race. At firs! there was aptKvrently not much to see, but here also 1 had the good fortune to find an excellent guide. Mr. Calloway, a colored gentleman, and one of the most Intelli gent representative* I have met. He showed me that the standard of educa tion among the negroes was higher than that of Roumanla or of Bervla, about on a par with that of Hungary, and hardly Inferior to that of liaiy. Tha statistics and the graphics Illustrating the home life of the negro compared well with those of so great a country us Germany. The work of Booker Washington waa fully expounded and the products of the negro schools of Tuskegce so well displayed that one could not doubt of the high efficiency attainable by negroes Mr. Calloway claimed for the race all those ,w (jo had >•* among thel .. aTI lie waxed ao eldhuent that I left with tha vague Idea that the negTO was the com ing man. and I was less afraid of the graphics Mr. Calloway had shown me which proved that the mingling of tha races had greatly increased upon the de gree of "miscegenation" of the days be fore the war.

How *hc Rend* the liner That Thrift May Follow Fanning. From the Columbia (B, C.) Stale. Editor Wallace of the Greenville New# has a very correct notion of the situa tion. In the New* of yesterday he aaya: "I’olltlc* make* strange bedfellow*, In deed. Who would have thought a few short year* ago, when Gov. Tillman was "raising bell on Chtcco'a street" In hi* determination to enforce prohibition upon Charleston, and when a year or two later Gov.

"What a transformation. And why? A part of the reason has already been hint 'd at In the effort to get the naval station from th* little lown of Port Itoyal. with the best harbor on th* Ailunttc coast, and transfer it to Charleston, where the me lodious notes of the string band float* up on the night air and the swallow-tail and the de ollete dress meet In the btllllant halls of Terpsichore. "But there are other reasons not hard to find. Charleston haa ac-epted the dis pensary In a spirit of perfect resignation —because the dispensary doe* not Inter fere with Charleston's ibvc of the need ful.

"Thus It goes. The tiger pile* his trade undisturbed; the dispensary reports big sale*, which go to sw'cll the city's cotters; everybody gets hi* tod In his own pre ferred way—and Charleston and the btg gin mill at Columbia are working hand and glove—the friends of one being the friends of tl.e other. "And the Charleston vole go## to Mc- Sweeney over 2.UOn strong. It Is a case of " Tlckl" m*. Johnny, tickle me. do: You llckle me, and I’ll llckla you.’ " We have tried hard to have patience with Charleston and to believe that It would pull Itself out nf Ita slough, com mercial and political, but we must con fess to a great disgust at the selfishness, the shortsightedness and the Ineptitude of the men who control Ita politics. If they had set themselves deliberately to forfeit the rc#t*ri and ronfldence of the rent of the state It Is hard to see how they rould have succeeded better than they have done. It la Impossible to account for their pal tele* except on the theory that they cannot see an Inch before their noses and neither know nor care for public opin ion In other parts of South Carolina. A* a tula Charleston. If It iloea the right thing, doe# It at the wrong time, and If It flora the wrong thing—which fre quently barge ns-It does It so flagrantly that Us olfenslveiseas Is doubl'd.

Charleston * ft lend* In other parts of the stale were trying to rid South Carolina of the abom ination—but what wa* that to Charles ton? Selfish and self-absorbed. It ha* oe- Mrted Its natural allies for o shameful composition with a system It knows to be evil and heartily detesi*. And Tillman—the story of Chnrleeion's relations with Tillman is written tn the same characters. Does Charleston love or admire or approve Tillman? No on* will pretend to say so. But for all Ihit he la fawned on there and given a "com plimentary vole.” and not a protest i made against his hoeslsm. his Insults, hts false accusations, even against the editor of the chief Charleston newspaper, be cause Charleston wants Tillman's aid in wrestling the naval station from poor lit tle Fort Royal. Who can respect the spirit shown In these performances! That we cannot do II we freely confess, and there are, we doubt not. many thousands In Mouth Car olina who fee) a groat repugnance for It.
