AUSTRALIAN FAILURES.
PART II.

New Zealand in 1886 to 1891 lost by
excess of emigration about 1S, 900 people
and since then the net increase due to
immigration has been but 5000 year.
In the cities the labor problem is so
prominent that Industrial arbitration
has been made compulsory, and old age
pensions are given to one-half of the
people sixty-fve years of age. In the
country districts labor is so scarce that
the area of land cultivated per inhabi-
tant-2.2 acres-has remained stationary
since 1881. The average yield of wheat
is twenty-four bushels to the acre, yet
the area under wheat has fallen from
$4,000 acres in 1881 to $4,000 in 1898.
The raising of mutton for export has
become the mainstay Of the colony. In
New Zealand the railway department
scarcely thinks of competing with the
coast vessels, but is content to act as a
feeder to them. The average length of
haul of railway freights is only thirty
five miles. In 1896 the total tonnage

BRYAN AND CROKER.

l am dying, Croker, dying,
Fits the White House vision fast,
And Expansions coming shadows
Gather on the wintry blast;
Let thine arms, o Croker, clasp me,
Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear;
Listen to my great heart-sorrows,
Thou, and thou alone, must hear.
Though my Pop and Anarch legions
Bear their red flags high no more,
And my wreck'd and scatter'd platform
Strews dark Philippines fatal shore,
Though Stones and Jones surround me,
My ambitions to fulfill,
must perish the true fakir,
Die the great jaw-boner still.
Let not Williams brave adherents
Mock the Silverite laid low;
Twas no gold mans arm that felled me,
Twas your Ice-Trust struck the blow;
who worshipped on thy bosom,
Turned aside from Western ray,
And who, drunk with thy orations,
Madly threw my gold away.
AS for thee, thou Boss of Tigers,
Thou enchanter of the Thugs,
Guard my path back to Nebraska,
With bench full Of your Pugs.
Give Mckinley golden crosses,
Let him in the White House shine
can scorn cen Teddy's triumphs,
Basking in a love like thine.
I am dying, Croker, dying,
Hark! the exultant Patriots cry.
They are coming! Quick, my jawbone,
Let me front them ere diel
Ahl no more amid the campaign
Shall my voice exulting swell;
Tammany and Altgeld guard theel
Croker, Washington, farewell!

and cleared coastwise had a capacity of
respectively 4,6O0,O 900 and 4 800, 900 tons.
The significance of the failure of the
Australian railways to meet the de-
mands of the new era ushered in by the
crisis of 1898 can be brought out in
striking manner by brief review of
the services rendered to the people of
the United States by the American
railways in 1878 to 1880. The close of
the Civil War was followed by the
absorption of the huge armies of the
North and South in the industries of
the United States. Scarcely had that
readjustment from a war-footing to a
peace-footing been effected, when there
came a wave of immigration which
contributed about forty per cent of the
increase of population which occurred
in 1867 to 1878. Then came the crash
of 1878. The extent of the depression
which followed that disaster is indicated
in the course Of the imports, which fell
from 1868, ,OOO,O 900 in 1878 to 1856 900, 900
in 1879. In the readjustment of popu-
lation and industry made necessary by
this long period of liquidation, the ten
great agricultural states of the Ohio and
Mississippi valleys, together with the
state of Texas, played the most promi-
nent part. Those states contributed
seventy eight per cent of the increase in
the area under crops effected in the
United States in 1867 to 1880. Further
more, they absorbed forty five per cent
Of the total increase in population, the
equivalent of seventy-five per cent of
the immigration in the period in ques-
tion. And it may be added that while
the proportion of the emigration from
the United ngdom-British subjects
and foreigners-that went to the United
States fell from the highwater mark of
eighty per cent in 1871 and 1872 to sixty
two per cent in 1878 to 1879, it jumped
again to respectively seventy-seven per
cent and eighty per cent in 1880 and
1881.
By 1878 the westward movement in
the United States had reached districts
five hundred and thousand miles from
the Great Lakes, and not few persons
of no mean authority believed that the
cost of transporting the heavier agricul-
tural staples from the more distant dis
tricts would almost or quite prohibit
production for export. But under the
stress of depression and tremendous
competition between the rival railway
lines leading from the agricultural
regions to the rival export harbors on
the Atlantic seaboard, transportation
charges fell even more rapidly than the
farm prices of agricultural products.
| There was not even Temporary hitch
The Conservative, 1901-02-28

large number of immigrants of the
years 1867 to 1878, and the vast bodies
of men forced by period of drastic
liquidation and readjustment to find
new avenues of employment-all were
absorbed with an ease and absence of
friction that are without parallel.
If one leaves out of account the entire
area which has rainfall of less than
twenty inches annually, Australasia still
has population of only a. people per
square mile, as against people in Am
erica, the arid region included And
yet, since 1885, the problem of the un-
employed has been chronic one in Vic
toria and New South Wales; and ever
since 1884 it has, in New Zealand, called
forth legislation as we'll as measures of
administration 1t is true that the main
difficulty lies in the unwillingness of the
people to go on the land, but it is equal
ly true that under the present costly and
inefficient management of the railways,
no considerable body of people could go
upon the land. Only the rapid decline
in the increase Of population, which be-
gan even before the great "boom had
spent ITSELF" has kept this fact from
being demonstrated in such a manner
that even those who run might read.
The population of Australasia con-
sists almost entirely of emigrants from
England, Scotland and Ireland, and the
descendants of these emigrants. And
yet, parliamentary government in
Australasia works as in France, rather
than as in Great Britain. Party ties are
loose, and the legislatures tend to break
up into small groups, for the purpose of
securing what members of parliament
are pleased to call "justice for the in
terests which they represent. Sir
Henry Wrixon, late attorney general of
Victoria, and one Of the most judicial
speakers in the public life of Australia,
has summed up the situation admirably
as follows: "The many functions un-
dertaken by our governments, and the
large measure of assistance that they
render to districts out of the general
revenue, enfeeble the position of the
representative, and impair the public
spirit of the constituencies. Each To-
cality (and each class interest) naturally
seeks to get as much as it can, and for
this purpose wants rather an agent to
look after it's interests than statesman
to take care of those of the country at
large. The forbearance. of many con-
stituencies toward member whom they
respect upon public grounds, and the
sense of duty to the state Of members of
parliament, have so far done something
to mitigate the worst results of this
principle. But it remains true that the
representative is harassed by divided
duty: and that / take to be the great

profession was that Of prisoner, AL
bert I. Patrick came unconcernedly
to the end of his preliminary hearing
on the charge Of having murdered
old man Rice for his millions.
Although Justice Jerome reserved
his formal decision until next Mon.
day, he has made up his mind to hold
Patrick for the grand jury.
Mr.. Moore, attorney for the defense
calmly announced that Patrick, Short,
and Meyers would waive examination
on the charge of forgery, while fight
ing for favorable opinion from JUS
tice Jerome on the charge of murder,
decision Moore does not expect.
Accordingly, Justice Jerome signed

1t is conceded that on Mond ay JUS
tice Jerome will order Patrlc k held

No attempt was made to ba il Mey

will be set at $40, 600 each, an amount
which the defense is prepared to fur

BURNED

Bradford, Pa, April 1l.-This
evening the pest house that was be.
ing fitted up for small-poxi patients
was burned. Citizens who have beer
protesting against its location are be
lieved to have started the fire.
The Health Board of the city is
confronted with probable small. pox
epidemic. There are now five cases
, Of the disease, and twenty persons
are under quarantine.
Tuesday evening Ralph W. Foster
was taken to the hospital, and last
night his sickness was diagnosed as
smallpox. This afternoon his young
son was stricken. The Health Board
located pest house in the Second
ward, near the city line, and last
night workmen were engaged all
night getting it ready for occupancy.
The residents Of that locality petit
toned for an injunction against the
location. All day about fifty men
congregated in the vicinity, and this
evening the police were summoned to
the scene to quell a smal-sized riot,
as the loitercrs had torn up the side
walk ami openly threatened to blow
up the building or burn it.
