Three hundred years ago Spain
was mistress OF the world. She
owned ali OF South and nearly all
of North America, and could have
had the remainder if she had
wanted it. Spanish territory
included everything south of Sava-
ma on the east and San Francisco
on the west. Mexico, Central
America and the contiguous islands
all the way down to Cape Horn.
Charles V was the ruler in those
days. His territory in Europe,
Asia, Africa and America was
about 100000 square miles
double that of the car of Russia.
II wasn't in size alone that Spain
was great, She was rich beyond
computation. She is now one of
the poorest nations in the world.
Therefore various causes assigned
for her decadence. Some histori-
ans assert that it was on account
Of her religious precautions.
Others say that it was because of
her leniency to heretics. Whatever
-he cause may be her possessions

world at present, ana they bid fair
o be even fawer than they are.

THE SILVER REPUBLICANS.

Ever since the silver republicans
left their party they have been in
trouble. The leaders of this faction
have persistently tried to lead the
rank and file into the democratic
camp. These leaders have been
promised reward if they succeed ;
that is, the leaders are to be reward
ed with office. We saw this dem
onstrated in Idaho two years ago
when the democratic party made
such strenuous efforts to elect Du-
bois 1t was understood then that
Dubois, in case he should be elect
ed, would henceforth identify him
self with the democratic party
The only reason why this scheme
did not succeed was because the
democrats themselves would not
trust Dubois. They contended that
if he would betray the republicans
he would in turn betray the demo
Gratis.
We now see the same thing at
tempted in Utah. The democratic |
national committee sent Senator
White to Utah to try and unite the
democrats and silver republican.
The pretence of course is "free
silver" but the real reason is to
re elect Frank Cannon to the SEN
ate. There we find the same tacit
understanding; to elect this rene
gade republican and then after the
election he will becomea democrat.
Rlt the democrats of Utah, like the
democrats of Idaho, know a demo
,rat when they meet him in the
public road. They have no more
in Cannon down in Utah
han the democrats had for Dubois
Up in Idaho. They have virtually
old Senator White to attend to his
,wn business, just as the democrats
lere told Senator Walsh. two years
lgo.
The democratic central committee I
n Utah has refused any and all
alliances with the silver republicans
md tells them that If they love
free silver" as much as they pre-
end, then it is their duty to vote
With the democrats as they favor
rec silver. In other words they
ell the silver republicans to get
Town off their perch and scratch
osne dust. n that does not suit
hem they are advised to 60 over to
be populists or get back into the
party.

The silver republicans are finding
some difficulty in making a suit
able matrimonial alliance. They
prefer the democrats, but can't get
them. They can get the populists,
but don't want them. They are
like the country girl who wanted
to get married and she said: them
as want / can, get, and them as
] can get, the devil wouldn't have.

The disintegrators were placed upon the
roof OF a neighboring building. so ad-
justed that their fields OF destruction
oyerlapped one another on the wall. Their
indexes were ali set to correspond with
the vibration period OF the peculiar kind
OF brick OF which the wall consisted.
Then the energy was turned on ana

tudes which had assembled at a safe dis
lance to witness the experiment.

No further demonstration was needed.
The enthusiasm that had been excited
by the success OF the airships was fairly
cast into the shade by the outbursts OF
Joyous anticipations which greeted the
success OF Mr. Edison's invention for the
destruction OF the Martians.
And now the cry ION 10 Mars! was
heard from all sides. But for such an
enterprise funds were needed-miliions
upon millions. Yet some Of the fairest
and richest portions of the earth had been
impoverished by the frishtful ravages
OF those enemies who had dropped down
