AUSTRALIAN FEDERATION.

Sir Henry Parkes does not despair Of realiz-
ing the brilliant dream of Australian fedora
ton. IL is curious to observe how faithfully
the Australian colonies are following in the
footsteps of the thirteen American colonies in
their march toward a Federal Government and
National unity. The mereSt suggestion of I'M
pera tyranny would suffice firmly to weld the
South Sea colonies together, and the parallel
would soon be complete Already they have
got as far as a Federal Council, the equivalent
of what we called the Confederation. Already
they have diScerned what was enforced by so
many plaques upon the newly tied States of
this continent century ago, that Union which
does not unite is in no respect better but in many
respects worse than no union at all 1t is not
easy to see how the result of their present ex-
pertinent can be anything but colonial dissen-
sion, and if the experience Of this country il
significant, it would seem as if it must end
sooner or later, as a similar experiment ended
here, in a real and effective union.
This does not imply anything as to the rela-
ton of the colonies with Great Britain, except
as it is a step toward the building up of a
Power which, conscious Of the suffciency of
its own strength, must naturally aspire more
and more TO the complete exercise of it. The
tie that holds Australia to the British Crown
is in much the same condition as that which
holds Canada, less useful, perhaps, but rather
more sentimental. In a degree much greater
than can be ascribed to Canadians, the people
OF Australia are Bntons No large and ag-
gressive foreign element speaking its own Ian
guage and insisting upon its own laws. exists
among them to challenge Saxon supremacy.
Their British origin is recent, moreover The
Oldest of their constitutions was proclaimed
only thiryfive years ago. and the number of
plesent voters who were actually born in tbo
British Isles is probably not far from one-haIf
Of the legal poll. In the absence of any active
cause for complaint it is not remarkable that
the Australians are loyal TO their distant Grown

COMPETITION CHANGING DIRECTION

AT the bottom Of much Of the reasoning of the
day is the honest belief that competition is mis-
chievous, if not deviGsh 1t multiplieS COM
petitors, so that the country has to support an
unnecessary number Of railroads, or gas com
panies, or factories, or stores. it forces the
utmost economy in production. so that wages
are ground down to the starvation point. 1t
Offers prices to the dishonest or knavish, pro-
notes adulteration and swindling in the quail
ity of goods, and debases the character Of pro-
dUcer and merchants. In all this there is some
truth.
But has competition suddenly changed its
nature? For centuries the world has been
thriving with it, and made greater progress than
could ever have been made without it. II can
hardly be doubted that the same free conn I'll
ton which men now dread and decry has been
one Of the most powerful forces in the develop
ment Of modern civilization. The competition
Of producers has multiplied inventions, raised
wages. and lessened the cost Of living How

The members of the Republican County
Committee will doubtless consider carefully
the new constitution which they will be asked
to adopt or reject at their meeting tonight.
Some of the changes that it proposes are GER
tainly radical. Especially is this true OF the
one which substitutes for the present system
of open enrolment a method that will make the
admission of new members of the district or
ganizations entirely dependent upon the Jndg-
ment of election inspectors, no fundamental
test of an applicants Republicanism, such as
the present constitution provides, being laid
down. To adopt the proposed law would be to
return to a practice that was abandoned years
ago as one entirely unsuited to the requirements
of the party.

Mr. Governs tragic death gives emphasis to the con-

The only solution OF the mystery, therefore, Is insanity

There can be no question of the desirability,

tied TO brief statements as to sites and guar
antee funds is, therefore, gratifying. If the
committee consents to listen to all the argu-
ments, that may be volunteered in favor of
this or that site, the session will be well adj
vanced before its report is ready. Facts are
the things to deal with in this case, and the
more succinctly they are set forth the more
effective they will be.
