DR.. Carl HerSIOSp,

DR.. Carl Herslow, who is generally
mentioned as the successor OF the
present Swedish-Norwegia minister
of state, Baron Won Often, is a promi-
nent member of the riksdag. The new
army bill is certain to meet with de-
feat unless the king consents to uni
versal suffrage, and this is the meas
ure advocated by DR.. Herslow. The
present administration is sure to re-
sign, whatever the result will be, and
as DR.. Herslow has repeatedly been
requested to take a seat in the cabi-
net, everything points to him as the
future minister of state for the two
countries. DR.. Herslow is the editor
in-chief OF Sydsvenska Gagliga Snail
poten, one of the leading newspapers
in Sweden, and it is the first time in
the history of Sweden that man
from this profession will occupy the
high position of a cabinet minister
a convincing proof of the progress Of
democratic ideas in Sweden. For sew
eral years DR.. Herslow was the speak
er of the second chan Der, and has
long been considered the leading
statesman of Sweden. His platform

Cbe Referendum in Borfon-

The statistical department of Boston
has recently issued some noticeable
facts showing the comparative interest
taken by electors in that city in refer
enda as against ordinary voting con-
tests, during the decade from 1890 TO
1899. While it appears therefrom that
in general somewhat less interest is
shown in referenda than in electoral
contests it appears on the other hand
that interest in the former has dis
tinctly increased during that period
For the five years 1859 the mean
per cents of actual to possible votes
were 1928 on licenses, 66.31 on all
other questions, and 67.5s on all refer
enda, while the corresponding per
cents for the principal offices were:
For mayor S0.12; for street commits
sioner, 71.36; for aldermen, 6S.43; for
councilmen, 67.52; for school commit
tee, $3.50. On questions other than
license submitted to referendum, the
highest per cent of the possible vote
was cast in 1899 respecting the resora-
ton of car tracks in fremont street,
and was 1853. There were in all. aside
from license, ten questions submitted
to referendum, and there was an al
most steady increase of interest shown.
The lowest per cent of the possible
vote, 33.4o, was cast in 1894, and the
highest, 1868 in 1899. The mean per
cent in respect to license also increased
from 6715 in the first half of the dec
ade to 69.23 in the last half. These
facts indicate that in Boston at least
the referendum is a practicable and
an increasingly popular method of set

and the first big guSher in
the famous Beaumont district
was opened up by him, and still
bears his name. He leased the ground
on which the Beatty gusher was dug
for $40, and it has already returned to
his company total of more than a
million and quarter of dollars. Mr..
Beatty's time since the excitement be-
gan has been taken up with the buy
ing and selling of oil lands. He or his
companies, which are practically
owned and controlled by him, have
hundreds of acres of oil lands under
lease, and the way they do business
may be judged from the fact that one
day last week he refused first $3.50
and later $50, 900 for the lease of sin
gle acre of land near one of the big
gushers which he has developed. Mr..
Beatty is personally a delicate little
man, only five feet six inches in
height, and since Jan. II, when the
Beatty gusher started the Texas oil
boom, he has been living under a nerv-
Gus tension which might break down a
giant.

Germany and Monroe Docfri,


An English paper, whose wish is
evidently parent to the thought, says
that the German emperor is preparing
for war on the Monroe doctrine He
wants South America. and he wants it
bad For this he is building a giant
navy and in fancy he already hears
the thunder of his guns as they rock
on the mighty deep. A Paris pseer
laughs at the idea and then says:
The German navy is yet young,
while the Monroe doctrine is hoary
with age And the kaiser is young
yet, and youth will have its fling
Let the kaiser build his navy and aim
it's cannon at the Monroe doctrine
When he does there will be war, and
war on a generous and satisfying
scale. And when the war is over the
kaiser will have a chance to sit down
and figure up his assets and liabili-
ties, among which assets should MOI
be forgotten the title of war lord"
Meanwhile, the United States of Am
erica will continue to do business at
the cid stand, and incidentally may
have little navy of their own, which
fact should not be lost sight of by
those who figure out a peck of trouble
for your Uncle Samuel"

a Locomoffve Sueeesfion.

Here is something new in locomotive
construction or rather a suggestion c.
something new. 1t comes from the
Scientific American, which is high au-
thority on all things scientific
The American points out that we are
at present in some respects at stand
still regarding railroad locomotives,
for the reason that the source OF
power, the boiler, is practically as big
as it can be made on the present
plan. 1t has to be set up on the driv-
ing wheels and at that height the tun-
nels forbid its further enlargement.
The suggestion is to transfer the ma
chinery to the tender. thus requiring
the frame that carries engine and boil
er both to carry the boiler alone. In
this way we can get boiler so large
that the engine will maintain speed
of over sixty miles an hour when drag

A fair idea of southern progress in
business is afforded by the fact that
in the last six months 127 banks have
been organized and commenced bust
ness in the southern states. Texas
heads the list with thirty-four national
banks and i've state banks. Virginia
and Georgia come next with twelve
banks each. Another notable feature
of recent financial enterprise in the
south has been the organization OF nu-
merous loan and trust companies. In
nearly every southern state local capt.
tai has been invested in such concerns.
