THE GROWTH OF REPUBLICAN Gov
EMINENT.

When the political changes during the
last half Of the nineteenth century come
to be summed up a notable feature will
be the birth Of new republics. At the
middle of the century there were but
two real republics in the world, the
United States and Switzerland. and the
moral influence and example Of the first
of slavery. In fact, the blighting in
fiuence Of this institution was such that
it's abolition might fairly be called a
new birth Of this Republic. Human
freedom was a myth and genuine repub-
licanism a barren ideality even in the
United States until John Browns soul
began its march. So the new birth of
this Republic belongs to the latter half
of the century.
Since the middle Of the century France,
which, through many political storms,
had always swung back to monarchism,
has become a republic, and there is
scarcely a doubt that her present form
OF government will be enduring The
French people have demonstrated their
capacity for self-government and their
preference for a republic too clearly to
admit suspicion that they will ever re-
turn to monarchism. Mexico, after a
somewhat similar experience, marked by
many changes in the form Of govern
ment. no end of revolutions and dictator
ships and a narrow escape from mon
archism under Macmillan, finally be-
came republic in 1871, and is now en-
joying better government and higher
degree of prosperity than ever before.
Brazil, which threw off the rule Of Portu-
gal only to become an independent mon
archy, and which was for long time
the only empire in the new world. be-
came a republic in 1891. The present
Transvaal republic dates from 1881, and
the Hawaiian republic from 1894. The
indications are now strong that before
the end Of the century Cuba will become
a republic. and that a new republic Of
confederated states will arise in South
Africa.
During all these years the monarchical
idea has not only made no progress, but
the cases named monarchies have been
overturned and replaced by republics,
and in no instance has a new monarchy
been formed unless Germany be called
an exception. where central imperial
government grew out of the welding
together Of many small sovereignties.
The only attempt at establishing a new
leo. failed. In all existing monarchies
liberalism has made distinct progress
and republican ideas are terminating.
Before another generation has passed
Australia will probably be republic, as
will Canada if not annexed to the United
States. Absolutism and kingship by
divine right are on the wane, and the
republican idea, based on individual
rights and self-government. is spreading.

The article In the current Harper by T..

Academy will attract attention because Of
its criticisms on the management and con-
ditions. Mr.. Lounsbury has been an official
visitor to the institution, and his comments
are the result OF close observation. The
chief evil. he thinks. grows out of the low
ness of the standard of admission OF ca
diets, and he offers forcible arguments In
favor OF raising the standard.

Arthur Sherburne Hardy. of whom the
public hears too little since he became as

Readers of Mr. Hardy's novels discovered
that he was poet, and that he should
choose to express himself in verse Is not
surprising. This poem is worthy OF him,
but there is room for regret that writer
of his peculiar attributes should have aban-

ufacturers of the United States. Among
the vice presidents, representing nearly
every State, is Mr.. p. 4. Studebaker, of
South Bend, we'll known in Indiana. The
association represents interests which
run up into the thousands of millions.
At present it is composed. not of indi-
tions, whether they be clubs, societies
or associations. representing particular
industries or national bodies represent
ing such industries. The purpose Of the
organization is not to interfere with or
trespass upon the functions performed
by existing associations or to submerge
them, but simply to consolidate into one
representative body the total force and
influence of American industry so that
when a question OF national Importance
presents itself American manufacturers
may speak and act with some claim to
recognition. The basis of the associa-
ton as 1t now exists can be found in the
following declaration of principles:
To the largest possible extent our home
market should be retained and supplied by
our own producers, and our foreign trade
relations should be extended in every direc-
ton and manner not inconsistent Herewith.
The principle of reciprocity should be en-
bodied in national legislation, in accordance
with the requirements of equity, that
reciprocal trade relations between the
United States and foreign countries may be
developed and extended as far as practic-
able.
Believing that ships sailing under the flag
OF the United States should carry our en-
tire maritime commerce, and in view Of the
injury thereto by subsidized foreign shipping,
we declare in favor of judicious system of
toration and extension OF our merchant
marine.
The Nicaragua canal being essential to the
commerce OF the United States, and of ma
tional Importance. We favor its construction
and operation under the control of the fed
eral government.
Our national and artificial waterways
should be improved and extended by the
federal government TO the full needs of
commerce, connecting the great lakes with
the rivers OF the Mississippi valley and the
Atlantic seaboard.
No more patriotic or better American
doctrine was ever promulgated than that.
The first annual convention OF the asso-
citation will be held in Chicago on the
21st inst, and Indiana manufacturers
ought to be well represented.

A recent bulletin issued by the agricul-
tural experiment station at Purdue Univer-
s.y treats of the Improvement of unproduc-
tive black soils, sometimes called bogus
land" of which there are thousands Of
acres in this State, now entirely unproduc-
tive. The bulletin contains one hundred
pages and is devoted to the processes Of
reclamation based upon scientific investiga-
ton. 1t is demonstratcdsshat these soils
can be reclaimed WHEREVER they can be
drained without very great cost and made
permanently the most productive corn land
in the State. Where thorough drainage
would be too expensive, experiments have
been tried to obtain better results from
cultivation, which have been successful. The
experiments as recited are illustrated by
cuts, and the effects Of the application of fer
tilizers was never more clearly demon
strated. Those who desire this valuable bull
letn have only to write to the director of

Although there are many indications
that banks and others outside the syndi-
cate will make bids for the advertised
bonds. the hostility Of the administra-
ton to the success of the loan under the
present conditions Is declared In the
altogether unnecessary announcement
that no bids have been received. If the
administration were in earnest to have
the bonds go to the lowest bidders it
would not thus throw cold water upon
the loan which 1t has advertised. These
things will be remembered, and if the
loan is not negotiated by open bids the
failure. which will be regarded as lack
of confidence in the governments credit,
can fairly be charged upon the President
and his Secretary. Heretofore when bids
have been invited for bonds they have
been two or three times in excess of the
amount called for. If such is not the
case now it will be because the credit Of
the country has suffered at the hands Of
the administration.
