The Worlds Smallest Repnblic.

The smallest republic is probably
that of Cavolara, an island one mile
wide, situated six miles from the Sar-
dinian coast. The population at pres
ent numbers fifty-five. Until May 80,
1882, King Paul l. ruled, but at his
death the republic was proclaimed.
The constitution extends to the females
the right to vote. The president is
elected for u term of six years. The
italian government acknowledged the
autonomy Of this minute republic in
1880.

CATERPTLLARs are plaguing cities,
towns and villages all over the eastern
part OF the country, stripping the foli-
age from the shade trees along the
streets and making havoc In the parks.
New York and Brooklyn have had
fair share of the unpleasant pests, and
the newspapers of many towns, all the
way from Maine to South Carolina, com
plain loudly of their number and de-
structiveness. 1t may be that the cat
erpi!lars have invaded western regions,
too, but, if so, they do not seem to have
assumed the proportion of plague, or
else the newspapers don't take note of
such minor Affections.

The great distance covered by wheel

Democracy is a sentiment not to he

knows no baseness: it covers no dan
ger; il oppresses no weakness. Fear
less, generous and humane, it rebukes
the arrogant, cherishes honor and
sympath:zes with the humble. 1t
comedies nothing but what it demands.
Destructive only of despotism, it is
the sole conservator of liberty, labor
and prnpertv. 1t is the sentiment OF
freedom of equal rights, of equal OBJ
legations. 1t is the law of nature
pervading the law Of the land. The
stupid. tie selfish, and the base in
spirit may denounce it as vulgar
thing; but in the history of our race,

Equality with the best, he rejects, as
unworthy OF his dignity, and political
imnanities over the humblest of his
fellows. Yes-it is an enobling piin-

WHY. INlEEDi

Why DO :ne Republican state officials
refuse TO explain 10 the people the con-
dition of the state treasury?
Because they dare not discuss, much
less explain or defend, their own man
agcnert of these affairs.
Why co the scores and scores of Re-
publican leaders seeking for nomina-
tons to the various Offices remain silent
as to homo an state matters, and last
winters salary grab?
Because if they made these things an
issue they would be overwhelmingly
beaten after receiving the nomination.
Why does the Republican press re-
main silent on all these matters?
1t knows that the course of its ex-
travaSant leaders and its iuexpressibly
corrupt legislatures, is absolutely indie
fensible. 1t cannot defend it-therefore
IL seeks to icnoro it.
The people have the right to demand;
and it is their duty to demand, an ao-
counting at the hands of their public
stewards.
If they fail to do so, they are not only
foolish but unfit to exercise the rights Of
sovereignty.
