The Great
Australian
Confederation
From the Kansas City Journal.

From the Kansas City Journal.
On the first day of January. 1901
there was instituted what is practically
a new nation On the lace of the globe
though the proceedings were so quiet
and uneventful that they scarcely
caused a ripple. We refer to the new
commonwealth of Australia which
was inaugurated at Sidney on the day
given.
The federation takes in all of the
hitherto Independent Australian colo

ria, Queensland and the three Austria
las. covering n territory quite as large
at the United States if We exclude Alas
ka, and it has a white population of
more than 100000 souls Not the
least interesting of the circumstances
! accompanying the organization of this
new nation is the closeness with which
its governmental scheme follows that
of the United States. First. there is a
written federal constitution like our
own organic instrument Second. there
is congress of two houses, senate
and house, composed in the same
! manner as our own legislative body.
The colonies take the names of states,
from each of which six senators are
elected for six years, while the house
is elected by districts. There is fed
than the state supreme courts, though
from this federal supreme court ap-
peal may be taken to the privy council
of Great Britain, except in matters
affecting the Australian constitution -
A governor general is appointed by the
British government as in the case of
Canada, but in every other respect the
commonwealth is free and indepen-
dert, save, of course. that Great Brit
ain reserves the right to supervise all
foreign relations.
Australia differs from America in
| that she never had Columbus. No
one knows who first discovered the is
land. The honor has been claimed by
the Dutch, the Portuguese. the Span
ish and several other nativities. Maps
as old as 1852 indicate the existence of
this continent. and from 1000 on it was
frequently visited by many seamen.
But it was not until the famous Cap
| tain Cook in 1869 took out a scientific
| expedition that Australia began to be
| known as n country worth having In
that year the Royal Geographical So
ciety of London desired to observe the
| transit of Venus. and a number of
scientific men were sent out to Aus
| tralia as the best place to make the OBJ
servation. And it was while or this
| expedition that Captain Cook took
possession of the continent in the
| name of his British majesty. later sub
| hitting such favorable reports that
| the home government decided to hold
the country
Il happened that n few years after
this expedition the British govern
ment found itself in difficulties with
respect to the disposition of it's GRIM
inal population. The United States
had secured its Independence and Vir-
ginia could no longer be made the
dumping ground of convicted felons
So the government hit upon the project
OF making Australia a penal settlement

Queen Victoria was enough of bus
mess woman to have gathered to her
self private income of S200, 900 which
was besides the income granted her by
parliament. She owned real estate,
inherited duchies and famous jewels,
owned London and New York business
blocks, and in one line or another pos
sessed an immense fortune. However
her expenses personal and state were
enormous, and she had a horde of de-
pendents and pensioners and had to
extricate many of the people of her
court when they got deep in debt. So
that the estate left to divide among
the numerous heirs does not read in
fabulous terms. With the rich as with
the poor, with monarchs and with SER
wants, sufficient unto his income are
his wants, and to be rich is not neces-
sarily to have a thousand or a million
dollars but to have more than Cne's
expenses and desires.
