SPREAD oFREPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES

The ease with which the empire of
Brazil was transformed into a republic
seems TO have inspired a like spirit in
several other quarters of the globe. The
question is being discussed IN some parts
of Canada with increasing interest and
earnestnesS, while from far off Australia
comes the report of a growing sentiment
in the same direction. Mr. Albert Baul-
ton, an Australian, was in Chicago few
days ago and talked to newspaper re-
porter about affairs in his part of the
world. He said:
1.-The project of consolidating the
Australian continent into one powerful
state is slowly but surely gaining
ground Within two years a definite
plan for founding the new nation will
be forwarded TO colonial Office for
the endorsement of the crown before
long, and without the slightest commo-
ton in England or in Australia. the
mother country will see this great group
OF her colonies pass into new nation of
the United States of Australia. Like
your country Australia will be practical
ly free from an invasion. Her people
have already shown desire TO be SUI
preme in the Pacific, which cannot be
gratified unless her government possesses
means of ruling dependencies not adj
mitted to political equality. New Guinea
alone is kingdom III area and rightfully
belongs to Australia. As an independent
republic Australia will be a mighty
maritime power. She is 10 settle and
govern the only valuable possession
which EuroDe has left for the NEXT con,
aueriug power.

The Republican members of congress
in caucus yesterday chose Hon. Tom

His election, on the assembling of that

should be completed on that day, and
as soon as the speaker can arrange and
announce the committees the house

weeks work should be done before the

We Don't knOW.

From the Emporia News.
The Wichita EAGLE quotes Sir Ed
ward Sullivan to show that wages in
England are very low. and that millions
of people there do not taste meat oftener
than once a week or once u fortnight
From this premise the EAGLE concludes
that free trade, like vice, is mons, er
to be mated and feared Admitting that
Sir Edwards statements are true. though
perhaps greatly exaggerated, it is still
pertinent to inquire whether the English
working classes were nearly as well off
when protected" bv high tariffs and
special privileges a half century ago as
they are now under free trade? viii
the EAGLE tell US what Sir Edward says
on this point:

The most convincing evidence elected
during the Cronin trial connecting
Coughlin with the murder, was the very
last introduced by the state, and that
was the two knives that were taken from
the accused at the time of his arrest, and
which were identified as the property of
the murdered man. In the absence of
any explanation of how he came In pos
session of the knives, the circumstance
of his having them is a strong one
against Coughlin.

The roster of the Fifty-first congress,
made up by the clerk upon the certifi-
Gates of election issued by the governors
of the states. includes the names of sew

committee raised to consider the cases of
contest OF the seventeen cases three

West Virginia and Mississippi; two from
Alabama, and one each from South Car

no way affect the Republican majority

it is not improbable that the result of
the contests will be to increase the ma

There are several questions to be
brought before congress that are of espe-
cial interest and Importance to the west,
among them commercial reciprocity with
Mexico, Central and South American
countries, and the auxiliary question of
deep harbors on the gulf coast of Texas;
the irrigation problem and the silver
question. The west is unit as to the
importance of these propositions and
will be in the line of policy to be adopt
ed, and it will be well if the balance of
the country can be brought TO see them
in the same light. If partisan advant-
age could be laid aside, lost sight of for
the time being at least, and all work to-
gether for the common good touching
these matters, what wonderful adj
vancement of the public interest would
be realized. All these subjects have
been thoroughly discussed and their im-
portance are understood and appreciated
by the reading public, as they are by the
representatives in congress, and the lat
ter can not excuse themselves from act
ing promptly upon the plea of ignorance
of the wishes of the people thereon.

Besides there are important new enter
prises not known to the general public,
some of which will be heard of before
spring, some in fact before Christmas.
Among other things are new and inn
portant railroad extensions and connec-
lions, including three new lines into
the city, about the ultimate construction
of which there can be no doubt, one of
which has been made public. With
these connections and extensions and
with these additional new railroad lines,
Wichita Will not only be the railway
center of the state, but in transportation
advantages so far as the Gulf, the lakes
and the Pacific are concerned, will be
on an equal footing with the greater
cities Of the continent.

His Reward VIII Come Later.

FROM the n. C. News
The Hon. W. l. Scott, famous for his
friendship for Grover Cleveland and
Infamous for having ruined hundreds of
prosperous miners and then starved
them into subsection to his will at Spring
Valley, H., is now building a so. 900
mausoleum to receive his body when his
niggardly soul shall have left it. The
unmarked graves in which his victims
at Spring Valley rest hold the bodies Of

falque prepared for the oppressor Of the

Students in archaeology will find much
encouragement IN the assurances given
by Amelia B. Edwards that the field of
Egyptian research has been scarcely
touched upon; that it is practically with
out limit. She has given the subject much
investigation and states that the author
tiles are of the opinion that hundreds OF
thousands of buried cities and temples
remain undiscovered within the domin-
ion Of the Rameses.

The great boom in the price OF corn on
the Chicago market will no doubt be the
death, financially, of good many shorts
on the market, but the farmers OF the
west view the event with complacency;
they'll not call halt, no matter how
high the price goes.
