SMALL REPUBLICS
WIPED OUT
How Evil Days Have Overtaken Most
of the Lesser Nations Of
the Earth.

These are the times when everything
in the affairs of nations seems to point
toward concentration, when the larger
nations of the earth are either absorbing
or preparing to absorb the smaller SOW
~ereignties, as if in preparation for the
time when one or two nations will rule
the world. The evil days for these little
states began some time g {, but the past
year or two has been particularly dis
astrous for them, and if times do not
change soon it will not be long before a
small sovereignty will be such a curios-
ity that it will attract no end of atten-
ton.
AS it is there are not many at the pres
ent time, and several of those that still
exist w their existence to a matter Of
sentiment. which. parenthetically. may
we'll be regarded as a pretty poo guar
antee of stability.
1t was not long ago that there were
several of these little sovereignties in
the Pacific, but one by one they have
ceased to exist as independent states.
Hawaii, for instance, committed hara-
kiri for the benefit of the United States,
and Samoa ~relinquished her individual
ity as a nation at the behest of two or
three of the powerful nations. Our alb
! sorption of the Philippines has put an
end, for the present at least, to lie hope
of the native leaders for absolute indie
pendence, and with these islands we
have absorbed several that have long
/ made a show at self-government.
In South Africa things. are looking
| very bad. In Santo Domingo there is a
| growing desire for annexation to the
United States, and there is scarcely one
of the South American republics hat is
not in a blu funk" for fear that the
land hunger lately aroused in the breasts
of "los Yankees" may mol extend to the
southern end of the continent.
In addition to this they have several
trouble of their own to keep them from
worrying too much about the dangers of
compulsory annexation. With the eye OF
Germany on Brazil and with the people
in the state of the Upper Amazonas is
suing declarations of independence as
| the Republic of Acre, Brazil has about
all that it can attend to.
A SMALL REPUBLIC.
1t is this republic of Acre that is the
youngest independent state in the world.
and the best luck that one can wish for
this fedgeling republic is that it may be
forgotten. Just luck befell the South
German prineipality of ~Leichenstein over
30 years ago. This little sovereignty
