and to compare 1t with the CORES
ponding growth Of new lands under a
settlement by Anglo-Saxons. The
course OF the developement of the
Mississippi valley, for instaLce, may
briefly be described by a division in6o
three perlods-settlement, extrava-
gaDce aud depression. Upon fourth
era they are now entering,
and the many signs of prosperity and
revival are sufficiently emphatic and
encouraging The Anglo-Saxon
theory OF democracy leaves the
settlers Of new country to work out
their own salvation; they must find
out for themselves the natural advan>
tages and disadvantages of new
and, aud often without asslstances
must come to an understanding Of its
capabilities through many vicissitudes
aud discouraging experiences. Direct
ly opposed to this idea, the paternal
ism Of a strong imperial government
has a tendency to belittle such self
reliance.
Many suggestions of comparison
between the two systems are afforded |
by reading in connection with Mr..
Bonsal's article a contribution to the
July number of Harper's Magazine |
from the pen of Charles Moreau
Harger, The latter paper is entitled |
1.-The Middle Vests New Era" 1t |
mprehensively sketches the busi-
ness history of this portion. of our
country, arrays the many tendencies
which now point to permanent pros
perity, and concludes as follows:
1.-THE West is settling down TO make
the most of the resources which
it possesses not: In that lies the secret
of its future"

RUSSIAN AND AMERICAN COLONIAL
TION.
Within the last few years the Rus
slams have established on the bound
ary of Eastern Siberia vast colony
of restless emigrqnts, whose busy,
energetic life is strangely out of
keeping with the sluggish inactivity
of sleeping Asia, Along the banks Of
the Amur and the Sungaru and in
the various districts which radiate
from Vladivostok come thousands of
hardy pioneers, subjugating the soil
to cultivation, building roads, making
homes, and drying an entering'wedge
of bustllng civilization into the lethar-
gic East. These men and women are
not transient settlers; they will never
go back to Russia, but they will draw
Russia TO them in closer union, and
add race of men to the people
Of the Gar who will control this part !

as it is habitable, A wonderfully
effcctiYe system of civil and military
administration guarantees govern
mental assistance and protection TO
the settlers, and it is claimed that
by the ai6 OF the great imperial rail-
roads an army of 100000 men can be
modified within two weeks upon any
point of the frontier Of China and
Korea. Russia is now the virtual
suZerain over northern China, and,
moreover, there Is no nation in the
world able to place on the east coast
OF Asia au army that could cope with
her; but she is seeing enough to
add to her military power the tenac-
ious strength of an industrial and
vigorous occupation OF the lands
already under her control.
In the picturesque activity and
toll of these Russian colonists there is
something which appeals strongly to
our American instincts of energy and
advancement. No one can read the
description of their life and work
which Stephen ,Bonsal contributes TO
the July Harper's without being re-
minded Of that determination which
made productive the broad lands of
our western pralries, pierced the for
bidding Rockies in search OF national
wealth, and established the great
commercial prosperity OF the Pa
cihc coast. Mr., Bonsal trav-
elled through the Eastern Siberia
with both eyes open, and his
long training as correspondent has
enabled him to recount graphically
the significant ana salient features of
this invasion OF the Slays into the
East-an invasion peaceful enough
now, but with all the portentous pos

The Negro Who Unyittingly Broke UP

Little Pete" is what they call him, and
no one knows where he came from. He
dropped in with the circuit chasers a year
ago and they have been unable to lose him
since Pete is the man who is jonah to
half of the racing men and mascot to the
other half, being especially prominent when
Eddie Bald wins. He plays cards, shoots
craps and, in fact, is a real man about
town He can rub and can struggle around
the track on racing machine at fairly
good pace. Although claiming to be nine

Wounds, sports long or short pants, accord

withal is a character in the sport of cy

From the time he first fell in with the
racing men up to the present date he has
never paid car fare on railroad That
has always been against 'Petes" princi-
pies, and it was for this reason that the
Southern circuit broke up last year. 1t APP

gentleman whose duty it is to punch
tickets and incidentally dishonest peoples

must pay $3.50 fare at once. Pete" de-
would pay his fare. but they all refused.
Upon reaching Atlanta the baggage master
refused to deliver the trunks of the circuit
chasers until the fare was paid
While the discussion was waxing warm
the only train leaving for Chattanooga,
where the next race meet was to be held,
drew out of the station leaving the excited
throng waving their hands and yelling, and
the great Peter standing on one side with
smile on his freckled countenance. The
race meet at Chattanooga had to be de-
clared off because no racing men were pres

count. But Pete came back to Philadel-
phia. where he makes his headquarters,
proud of his recent achievement.
