The worlds Creates. Empire.

Up TO the present time the ancient
empire of China could truly boast that
1t was the most Lopulous realm or the
whole globe. Eut although the final
numbers cannot for some tim, to come
be made up, it Is already perfectly clear
that the dominions OF her majesty
Queen Victoria now number more in
habitants than are to DO found In any
other existing empire. 1t is an extreme
estimat OF the population Of China
which makes 1t number soma $40. 900. 900
souls. But the Queens subjects in the
present year are at least 365, 600. 200,
thus exceeding the inhabitants OF China
by about $4,000, 900. OF by nearly as
many people as there are In the king
dom Of Italy. TIE English empire is
now the largest, both In area and in
population, in the world The extent OF
land under the sway OF the Queen Is
half as large again as that under the
sway OF tho Gar, while her majcsty's
subjects are three and a alt times as
numerous as the population Of the Rus
sian empire.

the purchase money was destined to
make Its way back into the pockets
OF the officials concentrating the
deal. Some measure of indignation
is no doubt justified by the circum-
stance, but In expressing 1t by the
brandishing of ropes and shouts Of
Hang 'em!" the citizens departed too
far from all precedent. They should
have demanded an investigation,
which would have been accorded
cheerfully by the suspected s0lons.
A committee would then have been
appointed, a majority OF the members
OF which would, OF course, have been
chosen from the aldermen interested
In the deal. There would have been
prolonged sessions, heavy stenog-
raphers' bills, and q handsome coat
OF whitewash ut the end. The en-
tire integrity OF the aldermen would
have thus been demonstrated and
they could then have gone travelling
at the expense of the company to
examine electric lighting systems in
other towns. It is to be hoped that
the next time this Kansas town runs
foul Of an aldermanic deal its citizens
will observe the proprieties in the

embracing both the old world and
the new, Is largely due to the con.
snlar reports OF the United States,
Great Britain, France, and Germany.
These complications may be accepted
as approximately accurate, the au-
thority being good and the investiga-
tions thorough. Among come Of the
remarkable facts as substantiated by
these inquiries we find that wages
seem independent Of forms OF govern
ment. Lower California, Mexico,
Malta, and Ceylon under British rule,
Algiers and Tunis under French, pay
less than Russia cramped with desp0t-
ism, or Spain under ecclesiastical
dominance.
AS a rule, 6e Anglo-Saxon pays
more than the German; the German
more than the Latin; the Latin more
than the Semitic, and the Semitic
more than the Malay and Mongolian.
The average wages per week as
paid to labor, the world over, are
classified in the following table, the
amount calculated In United States
gold dollars:
