TIE NEW United STATES

Those who believe that government
should in ell cases be ordained by the
governed and for their benefit have de-
rived great deal of delight from the
contemplation of the new commonwealth
of Australia.
Australia is a long way off from every
place save Australia alone. Hence, no
doubt, much of the charm which it pos
sesses to the student of economic and
governmental science. The formal inau-
guration of the new commonwealth dur
ing the past few weeks is regarded as
an event of prime Importance in the
progress Of the worlds affairs 1t GER
tainly has been celebrated with all the
eclat which could be attached to 1t, and
the future, so far as we may now Judge
from the condition of the resources of
the country and the disposition of the
people, is one flied with the highest as
surance Of popular happiness and pros
perity.
Australia Is not of course a free state
in the sense In which we have been
taught to regard the freedom of states
through reading books. 1t might be so
considered in the light of contemporary
events. since all young and unproductive
states exist through the liberation or in
direct sustainment of enc or other Of
the big powers But SO far as its PEG
pie and their political choice is con-
cerned it is as free as even these states
are
1t is not, however, SO much in regard
to the exact political status of the Aus
tralian commonwealth as 1t is with ref
erence to the effect which its creation is
destined to have or the British imperial
system that men will be disposed to con-
cern themselves. The Australian COM
monwealth is really nothing politically.
Considering the forces which dominate
and determine the life of given state
in this our day Australia as national
entity Is hardly worthy of a moments
consideration. The free republics of the
Orange Free State and South Africa were
called into existence through the action
or sufferance of the British empire They
no longer exist save as the remnant OF a
nationality fighting bravely against the
prospect of extinction. 1t is doubtful
whether the new Australian common
wealth win ever cut as large a figure in
international politics or affairs as have
these two heroic principalities.
What effect will the creation of the
Australian commonwealth have on the
future of the British empire. politically
or otherwise? The speech OF Lord Sails
bury regarding Ireland gives the cue to
the feeling of British statesmen on this
score, The tinsel Of political liberty m y

A cARPErBAGGER,s PARADISE.

The secret OF the popularity with the
politicians of the colonial scheme of gov
eminent in our insular possessions, is
made quite plain when the list of pro-
posed Offices with salaries attached is
carefully examined. The curse of the
English crown colonies is admitted to be-
the enormous expense of the imported Of
iceholders. Being from the upper
classes of English society these officers
must have salaries commensurate with
their social station, whether the colony
is prosperous or not. From a glance
at the list of officers which the Philip
pine commission has sent with recon-
mendations to the secretary of war. one
would judge that the proposed Offices are
to be filed with the aristocracy Of the
United States
The treasurer of the islands is to re-
ceive $1,000 and his clerk $500, the col
Iector $4,000, and his deputy and the cap
tain of the port $4,000 each, the auditor
$1,000 and his deputy $4,000 collector of
internal revenue $1,000, deputy $780, Gus
tom house cashier 1000. deputy 81, eco, di-
rector general of posts 5000, clerk 81, 500,
postmaster of Manila $500. assistant
$3.50, superintendent of public instruc-
ton $1,000. collectors ot customs in the
various provinces $3.50 each.
To these are added hundreds of clerks
with nice fat salaries. 1T for ward heel
er or a congressional parasite. The mil
itary governor is to have forty-six clerks,

Vt IS REsr SETTLER

The decision of the attorney general
on the question Of the authority Of the
state board of control over the manage
ment Of the state university, is of course
at best but the opinion of an individual
lawyer. The official position of Mr..
Douglas does not give to his views the
slightest Importance in the mind OF the
intelligent citizen who seeks to have the
question settled; although it is not IN
likely TO result in complete disposition
of the relative claims Of the regents and
the board of control over the fiscal con-
Germs Of the university.
If the board of control should think
proper to carry the question to the SUI
preme court the result might be such as
to promote the public interest. It is
plain that the question which really con-
Germs the regents of the university is the
nature rather than the extent of the
powers which the new body is supposed
to exercise under the law. In case If
should prove to be the fact that the
board of regents had been virtually su-
perseded by the new body there would
be but little of liberation entertained in
any quarter toward the new organiza-
ton. But there is enough in the outline
OF the situation made by the board of
regents in its inquiries Of Mr.. Douglas to
show tAai there is no disposition to quar-

be made to surround the confederation be-
meath the Southern cross; but no one to-
day believes that 1t has particle more
of the privilege of self-freedom than has
any other of the recognized integral sec
tions of the empire, Ireland alone, per
haps, excepted.
Those who have watched the political
events in England in the past quarter Of
a century may feel justified in looking
for grander developments ia the future
arising out of the creation of the Aus
tralian commonwealth. No political sub
division of that great empire will be con-
tent with less than the maximum OF po-
litical liberty consistently. with the main
tenance of the imperial connection; and
the task of reconciling the existence of
such political creations as it represents
with the rights and privileges of the
other sections of the empire is one which
will tax the resources of more than one
future generator Of British statesmen.
1t viii be surprising if a British fedora
ton bearing many elements of likeness
to our own does not evolve itself in time
from the present imperial system.

rel with the exercise of supervisory pow
er on the part of the board of control.
Should the courts sustain the claim of
the attorney general, of course there is
no thought OF any possible arrangement
save alone the one which would wholly
divest the board of control Of all juris-
diction. Such a result may be desirable,
since the conseitutionality of the law is
seriously called in question; but there
is alone question of public policy, and
that is one which concerns the public
quite as much as the one of constitution
atty.
The great mistake from this standpoint
of the present enactment is its attempted
assumption of control over educational
institutions. While there can be no great
doubt that a general state body having
power to direct and supervise the admin
istration of state departments is desir-
able in itself no thoughtful student Of
American public affairs will give his as
sent to the notion that the control of
the state university should be allowed to
pass absolutely into the hands of a body
charged with control in equal degree of
all other public institutions.
1t is best for all interests concerned
that this question should be tested
through the courts. 1t will never be ac-
ceptod as satisfactory adjustment of it
if the attorney generals opinion is ac-
copied as final. Not until the supreme
court has passed on the question in
volved, and we axe allowed to know the
true relation of the two bodies, the board
of regents and the board of control with
reference to the highest educational in
stitution of the state. will the intelligent
sentiment Of the state accept the situa-
ton with reference to the university
which is created by the existence of the
board Of control.

SHOT AN ENTIRE STRANGER.
Crazy Portuguese Artist Attempts
Murder End Suicide.

CHICAGO, May 17-Lorrie Maudauso,
a Portuguese artist, twenty-four years
Of age, tonight shot Alice Cusack. a
nurse girl, through the neck. and then
killed himself.
The tragedy occurred in Washington
park, which at the time was througed
with people. Maudauso had made him
self disagreeable to a number Of people
and, complaint being made to the POI
lice, an officer started to drive him c.om
the park. This rendered the Portuguese
frantic, and rushing up to the nurse
girl, who is fifteen years old, who held
in her arms a baby belonging to Mrs
J. II. Lambert, he shot the girl through
the throat, in1ictlng a dangerous, but
not necessarily fatal wound. He then
shot himself. The shooting Of the girl
was wholly without provocation. as she
was an entire stranger TO him.
Maudauso was injured in a railroad ac-
cident three years ago, and since that
time had not been entirely sane. The
girl will probably recover.
