REASON WHY
The United States Must Nee
essarily Remain a World
Power.

The United States is nation number
ing 76,OOOOOO people.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland numbers about $4,000 ,OOo-
Just half "a many.
The German empire, not counting its
African colonies, numbers anout 4',UOu,-
600 peope-less than two thirds OF our
population.
Russia proper, excluding the non-Rus-
sian peoples of Asia that are under her
flag, has a population of about s6,OOOooo
10 900 900 more than that of the United
States.
But our population is growing at the
rate of ; .OO0, 900 every l0years. SO that
the American babies of today when they
arrive at adult age will see an American
nation numbering lO2,0OO,O0O people.
As all European populations are sta
tionarv or nearly so-the excess of their
births over deaths being lost 10y emigra-
ton. mostly to this country-it is reas-
enable anticipation that the year lJO2
will find the United States inhabited 10y
three times as many people as Great BRIT
ain and Ireland, one and half times as
many as the combined population OF the
British Isles and France, more than twice
as many as Germany and about l5,OOO'OoC
more than Russia proper.
Furthermore, this country already leads
all others in total and per capita wealth
it produces one third OF the worlds tota
annual product Of gold and silver; it leads
all nations as producer and consumer o.
coal. iron and steel, and it also leads then
all in the production and export of food
stuhs.
Wherefore it would really seem that The
United States is and must necessarily re
main very respectable "world power
There will DO no larger "world power II
the twentieth century than this great
free American nation, even if it shoul'

LiLosses a Secretary.

The severest blow Ii Hung Chang
has received for many years Is the
desertion of j. w. Pethick, an Amer
lean who had been his private secre-
tarv for twelve or fifteen years. Mt,
Pethick was formerly secretary OF
the American legation at Pekln' ana
when his term expired went into the
service of Earl Ii, who was then
viceroy of Pechill. He was paid a
large salary to act as an advisor ana /,
Instructor in modern languages and
sciences. and had charge OF all OF the
viceroy's foreign affairs and much oil
his private business. Earl III has
money invested In all sorts of enter
prises in Europe and Asia, and Mr.,
Peth,ck has looked after his financial
business in foreign countries, lie
has also taught the earl nearly every
thing he knows Of foreign affairs,
and in 1898 told me that he had
read aloud to Lii Hung Chang more
than 500 books in English, French
and German, which he was able tC
translate into Chinese as he read
them. That was the way Ii Hung
Chang acquired his knowledge o
foreign countries. Last sprlng' lol
reasons not yet public explained, Mr.
Pethick resigned his position witt
Lii Hung Chang and has since de
nounced him as untrustworthy and
traitor to the friends lie pretendS tC
serve. Mr.. Pethick has informed thu
diplomatic representatives OF the
European powers at Pekin that TIT
earl is equally responsible with TIT
other members of the court for TIT
attacks upon foreigners, and ha
warned them to be on their guard II
the peace negotiations. Mr.. Pethlcl
is now attached to the United State
LEGATION as an Interpreter, and prob
ably no foreigner in China IS NOR
familiar with the inside Of Chimes
affairs than Chicago Rcrord.

ANOTHER RAILROAD.

The Southern railway has fine deep
water terminal facilities and shipping
point at Primers Point, Norfolk, and II
has two lines westward therefrom to its
main line north and south-one line direct
from Dapyille TO Norfolk (the old A. q d.
and another from Greensboro to Norfolk
via Durham, Raleigh and Rocky Mount.
Part of this North Carolina route from
Greensboro to Raleigh is owned by the
state of North Carolina and eased by the
Southern. The state of North Carolina
has from time to time given the railway
more or less trouble over this link OF the
line, and il may cost more. The line from
Danville to Norfolk is more direct and
capable of greater development. This
line is now being substantially and per-
manently improved and prepared for the
transmission of heavy traffic and much OF
! it.
From Salisbury the Southern now runs
westward to Ashevile, to Mcrristown
where junction is formed with the old
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
from Bristol, to Knoxville, to Hartman
Junction, and on to Cincinnati and Louis
Vile. Through traffic from west to North
and IRON north to west, must take this
roundabout route, or be transferred, in
going from north to west, at Lynchburg

Southern again takes il, and the rev, &c
