WHlRl OF THE WORLD

The government of New Zealand is still pursuing its policy of buying back large estates from the proprietors and cutting them up into holdings for men of small means. It is successfully providing allotments near the large towns for workmen's homes, in :he hope that his may relieve poor men from the excessive, almost prchibitive rents of cities. A man who has an acre of fertile land near town can part iy keep his family by growing vese- tables and working at his gard Il in his spare time. He Is in a vastly superior position to the laborer who has to pay about one-third of his in come in rent for bare house room, and turn out into the street the instant the weekly rent is not forthcoming.
 The effort is not limited 10 this acre allotment kfstem. the country c.tates bought back by the government are cut into small farms on which thrifty agriculturists may make livings for their families. l. gently the govern ment bought for this purpose the Glen- ham estate of Il, 500 acres. near Wyri- ham: the Kakaku estate of 2,25O i;cres near Pleasant Point, South Canterbury. and sever al other properties !n the vi cinity of Christchurch.

The whole world mourns today at McKinleys tomb. His body will be
 laid to rest annointed AT THE by the tears of his low TOMB OF ing countrymen. No MKINLEY. public man since Wash
 ington has gone to his grave so universally lamented. If to him is vouchsafed the privilege of un- derstanding the love which has fol- lowed him to the land of everlasting peace. he knows that the life which he devoted to the happiness and welfare of this land is appeciated in the final hour as 1t never was before. That be- every well balanced person indepen- dently Of the question Of religious con- viction, is strengthened by the thought that such men as Washington, Jeffer- son. Lincoln and Mckinley were not created to perish with the departure from the existence on earth.
 No more proper tribute could be paid to the illustrious dead than in the sol ernn religious services which will be conducted in every community today. For in life religion with Mckinley was something more than a mere formality. Always he lived in harmony with his deep conviction of humanity's depen- dence upon Almighty God. and far followed the teachings of Jesus.

rPain in the head and back is form of suffering with which so many women are familiar. Often this pain is asso- ciatad with nervousness, sleeplessness and loss of appetite. The cause of such suffering is generally to be traced to derangement of the womanly function, or diseased condition of the delicatS wonlanly organs.
 In such cases the action of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is marvellous in the prompt relief of pain and permanent cure of disease. It regulates the peri odic function, dries disagreeable drains, heals inflammation and alteration, and cures female weakness It cures when all other means have been tried in vain.
 Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, by letter, Jree. All correspond ence is held as strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
 In little over thirty years Dr. Pierce, assisted by his staff of nearly score of physicians, has cured more than half a million women.

The supposed prospects of various re- publicans for holding on to the re- spsctive offices filled by them. and the chances of republican aspirants for filling these offices, ars always topics of more interest to a number of the dem ocratic newspapers of the territory than any other subject that can come up. Indeed, one may properly wonder how the republicans and the republica n party of the territory could get along if it were not for the kindly interest. advice and guidance of our democratic brethren. Within the past week thsre has been a renewed discussion of these favorite -democratic sopTcs. This or that official is said to be marked for slaughter at the dictation of some al legsd boss. This or that aspirant is said to be sure of success because of inside information on which demo- cratic papers are accorded an un1is- putei copyright. All of which is or is not in good taste, according to ones ideas of the proprieties. But it does sesm that no harm would be done if the people could be given a rest from political claptrap until after our dead president is laid to rest.

The Hartfor1 Courant notes that q New York physician says that the practical danger to society of permit ting anarchistie notions to be expressed freely is that there WI be a "sys- tematic mental and moral innoculation of the inefficient members of the race" with these notions. This is only an other way of saying that it is unsafe for society to permit men or women to say that anything ought to be done. which, if done. would be crime. The efficient members of the race may safe ly say such things, because they would nsver do such things; but when they say these things, often probably in all good conscience. they thereby assume the responsibility. not only for them selves, but for every inefficient man or woman who may hear or read what they say

 The machine to be used in Washing ton will be known as the chiefs wagon. It resembles somewhat the pictures of the French racing automobiles, and
 was specially designed for the use of chiefs of fire departments and chiefs of police. Speed has been a prime factor of consideration in its construction, hut the matter of durab bility was not lost sight of. so that the new vehicle Is much heavier than the ordinary racing motor, and yet will maintain a speed
 of twenty-five miles an hour as long as
 the batteries stored in front and be- hind can be depended upon. The mo-
