The OUTLOOK.
AUSTRALIAN The various colonies
FEDERATION of Australia have
become federated, and the Earl of
Hopetown has been sworn in as the
first Governor of the Federated colo
MES. 1t is believed that in the Twen-
tieth censury Australia will have as
large a growth as the United States
has had in the Nineteenth century.
The extent Of Australian territory is
almost as large as that of the United
States, excluding Alaska and our new
possessions 1t has now four million
inhabitants, and raises one-fourth Of
the world product of wool. 1t exports
grain, meat, cheese and butter. Its
unusual resources are among the
greatest on earth. For fifty years it
has been a great gold producer and has
valuable deposits of silver, copper, tin,
lead, iron and quicksilver. All hail to
the new land that is to become great
country in the Twentieth century.
PIsFRANCHIsED Representative
VOTERS. Olmstead has
introduced a resolution into Congress
that has given some Of the politicians
a very bad pain. Q 1t directs the census
commissioner inquire as to the dis
reimbursement of voters in certain sec
tions of the country. At present our
representation in Congress is not just
as in the South, a man may repre-
sent only a few thousand votes, while
in other sections he represents fifty
thousand. The resolution is intended
to bring plainly and by process of law
this state of affairs to the minds of the
legislators, and let the world know just
what some sections of the South are
doing to destroy the citizenship Of the
negro.
THE WHITE MANS The Senate has
BURDEN, approvedo of the
treaty protecting the natives of Africa
from intoxicants, and another move

civilized races shall be protected from
trafficin firearm and whiskey. This is
move in the right direction, and
shows that our civilization is waking
up to it's responsibilities. We do not
want to to send a cargo of whiskey
with every missionary to Africa, and
we ought to stop impreSsing the
heather with the idea that our princi-
pal article Of commerce is beer barrel.
