A Microscopic Republic.

Translated from Swiss Journal.
The smallest republic known is that OF
Tavolara, an island about eigh. miles dis
tant from Sardinia. 1t has a population
of fifty-f1ve persons, all told. This domain
was accorded in 1886 to the Bartoleoni fam
lily by King Charles Albert. King Paul 1
governed this microscopic kingdom for fifty
years or more. He died in 1882, and then
expressed the desire that thereafter his
subjects should govern themselves. No pre-
tender for the royal succession appearing,
the inhabitants of Tavolara in 1886 pro-
claimed a republic. which in the year fol-
lowing was duly recognized by the italian
government. This republic is governed by
a president, who Is elected for the term Of
six years. The constitution accords also TO
women the full right of suffrage.

the provisions of the strip agree

pay for all improvements made

agreed to remove ali intruderS as
soon after payment by this Nation
as would be practicable. and set

time when such removal wonld be
commenced. We have fulfilled
our part Of the contract and it now
remains to be seen what action VIII

Of the government &. the con

reason for believing that President
Cleveland will issue the proclama-
tion necessary for tie expulsion of
the intruderS. Hitherto he has
shown us marked consideration in
handling our affairs. In fact, he
has expressed his belief that the
intruderS are Il very undesirable
class of people to have III com
munity, and if he still entertains
such opinions. there need be no
fear as to the speedy removal Of
Watts and his followers.
Judge Springer expressed him
self quite freely last week to
one Of our citizens, and from
what he said there is not at least
a possible show for the intrudelS

Beyond Doubt.

Among the many good things told
some years ago of Colonel Utley, we'll
known as a Wisconsin editor and also
as the hero of more than one military
story, is little incident which illus
trates his ability to make good ma
tured joke.
During the war, while Colonel Utley
was in command Of Wisconsin regi-
ment stationed in Kentucky, he attained
some notoriety by allowing his men to
harbor and protect poor negro boy who
had escaped from his master. The boy
came north, and the master brought suit
for his value against Colonel Ut1ey.
One day the colonel went from his
home to Milwaukee, and while there he
met friend who asked him how his
case was progressing.
every well, replied the colonel. ST
think 1 shall win it, although I have
the smartest lawyer at the Milwaukee
bar against me. -
"Why, he isn't our smartest lawyer
by any means" said the friend, with
evident surprise.
sob, certainly he u.s., responded the
colonel, with conviction.
How do you know" persisted his
friend.
know! Why, man alive. he &C
knowledged it himself!"-Youth's Com
