they may be right. The fact remains no less remarkable. And thus it is that the average Englishman has become reconciled in business being transacted with a maximum of form, delay, and expense, and, indeed, considers that busi ness of any importance is hardly treated with becoming respect if it be transacted in any other way. A negotiation undertaken, or an affair completed with simplicity and despatch, would stand suspect to the conventional Englishman. Form, routine, ndherence to precedent, per fection of detail-this is what we look for, and this is what we get. And it is the temper of mind which looks for this that makes the English nation, as it is to-day, a slave to Permanent

Clerks.

From various widely scattered anurces, we have recently culled and published a number of facts bearing on tobacco-planting in Borneo; and the announcement of a British protectorate over a large portion of the country affordan convenient opportunity for considering the subject as a whole. The decadence of Dell appears to be merely a question of time. The price of that famous tobacco is falling not on account of over-production, but because the quality of the product is deteriorating, the result of the cultiva tion of inferior soils. For the fine leaf the demand is keener than ever, and the prospects of North Homeo plantations may be said to hinge on the quality of the tobacco they may produce; if it can he employed for "coverings, "these estates will soon be placed in a very enviable position. There is of course no longer any doubt that tobacco will grow in North Borneo, and the question of quality seems to be in a fair way to be si finitely settled, A Dutch contemporary says of Borneo tobacco: "It is used as coverings for ciga's. the large size, and extreme softness and silkiness of the leaf admirably fuing it for this purpose," This favourable opinion of Horneo leaf has been confirmed by a number of experts. As a matter of fact, the last sale of Borneo tobacco in Holland was that of the cron grown on the Ranow Estate by the Count de Gelres This shipment realised A. 26, or less than was expected by some; but if we are rightly informed a serious accident the very best of paper, and conveying for the PERSEVERANCE happened in the drying sheds white full of tobacco, and the quality suffered greatly in con-onsideration and deliberation, he does not sec sequence. Still 1. 1.26 is a very good and remunerative rate, and the managers of many

Deli estates would be well pleased if their crops With one rxrepting, the plantations are all the pronesty of foreigners, the majority of these being Dutchmen, who find that British Borneo offers them greater inducements than either Sumaira of Java. Indeed North Barneo is "British "mote in name than in substance, the only purely English establishment in the country worth mentioning being, the Planting and Trad- ing Company. "Even in the shipping trade, which we are apt look upon as being peculiarly our own, the foreign element enters largely in the competing teamship lines. So far as tobacco planting is concerned, this is hardly to be regretied, and it is very encouraging to find experienced planters leaving Deli and Java for North Borneo. They know thoroughly well what they are about, and are the best judges of soil, climate and the other conditions relating to the successful cubivation of tobacco. The present keen demand for land, however, has naturally resulted in a certain number of "jobs" being put through by persons who take out provisional leases which, as a general rule, are promptly dubbed concessions. The concessions are then sold at a profit, before the land is selected or surveyed, or a stroke of work done upon It. This easy way of making money is nofitable solely to those to whem "lease" and "conces sion"

But it must lay on the back of a generous and large-hearted statesman For the heavy burdens grievous to be borne, Permanent Clerk is the modern political Pharisee; and so long as the tithe on commin is accurately assessed, and the phylacteries are of the proper official breadth according to sealed pattern, so long as the cup and platter are cleaned with are convertible terms, and is not of modern English cleanness, the Office is self- sati fied; and if 'ether widows or enthusiasts much benefit to the country in which they

Of course it is a matter Cabinet Minister, of notoriety that many of the Dell estates have paid dividends of over 100 per cent. per annum for several years running, and, since such is the case, Borneo tobacco companies appear to offer a fair opportunity for men who can afford to take the corderable risk which necessarily I attends all forms of planting.

The Permanent Clerk of to-day is a well- anubt to informed gentleman, anxious no maintain or augment his own salary and allowances and those of his peers, but even more anxious to cut down the salaries and

allowances of everyone outside the walls of bis office. He has a rooted antipathy to those who do great deeds and to those who think great thoughts. He is jealous of those who suggest, and, obstructive to those who propose; anxious as far as possible to avoid trouble, and to put down those who are likely to cause it, with a firm hand; determined, abore all, to allow nothing to be done. He writes a vast number of faultless letters, saying that nothing has been, can be, or shall be done. His motto is "retrancher sur le récessaire." politically and financially, "en lachant la bride par mille économies plus couteuses que la dépense," This is what we do, have trained our public men of business to as Englishmen do everything they put their hands to, in perfection. And "the reason why" is that our private men of business have trained as to think that nothing is safe, that nothing is sound, and that nothing is serious that is not tightly tied with ted tape; and, above all, that no man can tie tape as it ought to be tied for himself, but that all tope must be tied by attorney.

Vanity Fair.

The general conditions of tobacco planting in North Bornes are undoubtedly excellent. The Government of the country, though sadly weak and inefolent in many ways,adopts a liberal and wire policy in respect to this particular Industry. But it is to be hoped that even the present administration may be improved and re- formed in many notable ways if the new British Provectorate is to ex reise any good and pacful Influence, and then all should go well. Even at present the way of tobacco plantera in North Borneo is made smooth for them by the Govern-au superflu.. ment. Steam communication also is cheap and frequent, there are no native rajahs or petty chiefs to be her about, and there is a total absence of fire-raising Battaks and many other objectionable elements, which have made them selves felt in Sumatra. In these circumstances It seems probable that tobacco planting in Barn D, has a good "future before it Strail Times.
