NEW REPUBLICS.
Example of the United States Upon
Neighboring Nations.
Eighteen Governments Have Be
come Free and Independent.


Since the birth of the present cen
tury no less than lS governments on
this side of the Atlantic have joined
the sisterhood of free republics.
Without attempting to name them
in strict chronological order, these
several republics are Ms follows: Chile,
Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Mexico,
Paraguay, Uruguay, Colombia, Ecna-
dor, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Ricn,
Guatemala, San Salvador, Hayti, San
Domingo, Venezuela and Brazil
As to the geographical location of
these various republics, Hnvti and San
Domingo are among the West Indies;
Mexico, III North Americn (; Argentina,
Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia Ecua-
dor, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay and
Venezuela, in South America, and
Honduras. Guatemala, Costa Rici,
Nicaragua and San Salvador, in Cen
trail Americu.
While the various Central American
states have maintained sepnrate and
independent governments during the
greater part of the century, union
between three of these states, viz. Hon
duras, Nicaragua and San Salvador
has recently been formed under the
provisional name of "The Greater Re-
public of Central America. As soon
ms the two remaining states, Costa
Rjcn and Guatemala, enter the union
it will then be known as "The Central
American Republic"
OF the Is republics above men,
toned, there is not single one which
does not owe its existence to Spanish
despotism and which hns not been
carved out of Spanish territory. The
loss which Spain hns sustained, there
fore, during the past century, with the
single exception of Cuba, includes
her entire possessions in the new
world. Unless n miracle intervenes
to prevent Cuba from achieving her
independence the last vestige of Span
ish rule on this side of the Atlantic
will be oblitorated.
Excepting Mexico aud Venezuela
but little is known of these American
republics save in a very general way.
From the latest official returns the
chief executives of these republics are
as follows: Mexico, Porfirio Diaz;
Venezuela, Joaquin Crespo; Argen-
tina, Jose Uriburu; Brazil, Prudente
de Mornes; Bolivia, Severe Fernandez
Alonzo; Colombia, Antonio Caro-;
Costa Rica, R.fael Iglesias; Ecuador,
Eloy Alfaro; Guatemala, Jose Maria
Burrows; Hayti, Tiresias Simon Sam |;
Honduras, Policarpo Bonilla; Near
aqua, Jose Santos Z,laya; Peru, Mich
olas de Pierola; Salvador, Rafael Gu
tierrez; Paraguay, Juan Egusquiza;
San Domingo, Ulysses Hcurlaux, and
Uruguay, Juan Borda.
Had it not been for the success of
the American revolution these coun-
tries would no doubt still be under the
dominion of Spain. 1t is due in a
large measure, therefore, to the in
| spiration which onr own experiment
at self-government has furnished that
South America is today the abode of
freedom. With something of the
same spirit which inspired the mother
of the Gracchi, this country can point
to the young republics of the new
world and eXclaim: "These are my
jewels "-Atlanta Constitution.

Any American bicycle maker who

consul says that while the Italians
make fair bicycle, the people gener-
ally prefer foreign wheels, and II the
American maker can supply three
grades, about $3.50, sss.s5 and sl15.so
each. there can be no question that a
good market can be found. He adds:
"As yet. in Italy. women have not ta-
ken very enthusiastically to bicycling.
but the interest taken by them in this
district Is daily Increasing. especially
those who aspire to a position In the
