1t was probably the worst thing that
ever happened 20 the Democratic party
and one of the most fortunate things
that ever happened to the country that
a Democratic administration and Con-
gress were elected i'm 1892.
And at the same time never has a
political party been favored with such
phenomenal luck as has attended the
Republican party since it was igno-
miniously voted out of power in No

The work of civilizing Africa has
created a vague popular belief that the
great Dark Continent is sort of peo-
Dieless realm for colonization. such as
America was at the landing of Column
bus. 1t is. therefore, a revelation to
find the population of Africa computed
at 16S. $4,000. while the census of all
the Americas to-day is only III, 10000
The North Tropical Zone of Africa is
larger than the whole of the United
States and is in many parts more
densely populated. Over forty million
people dwell in that territory. The
Soudan and Upper Guinea have also
added sixty million, number which
nearly EQUALS the siXty-three million
OF our own country, according to the
last census.
1t is pointed out that good part of
this enormous population of Africa,
10000 600 it is said, do not wear
clothes. But they are very rapidly
taking to the clothes habit and at the
same time it is observed that England
is intent upon getting the lions share
in supplying them. But, of course,
the McKinleyites will hold that the
African market is a free trade chi
mera."
1t is estimated from the figures OF
these German geographers that the
population of the world 500 years hence
viii be 3S.5S6.Oo00OO, and that whereas
now the average man has % acres of
elbow room. he viii then have but one
acre. This estimate is based on the
existing rate of . per 1000 increase
yearly. and would seem to show that
while the Malthusian doctrine of over
population has no teITors for us, far
distant future generations may find it
playing a mighty part in their eco
nomic thought

IL was at that moment that L heard a
crash behind me, and glancing around
saw a great spout of fire shoot up into
the wintry sky. An instant later there

the Polish girl had run to Arensdorf,
how she had aroused our hussars, and
how she had only just brought them
back I'm time to save US from the spears ol

from their bivouac by that same black
hearted secretary whom we had seer
