THE WORLDS REPUBLICS
Republican Sentiment Growing in the Colonies
 of Empires.

From the New York Sun.
 Speaking about liberty and the Fourth of July" said the man who is spellbinder and a statiscian, the real era of republics, or the era of real republics, as you choose, may be said to have begun in l776. In any event the republic business wasn't doing much before that date. That will give us period of 126 years next Fourth of July to cover the republic era, and the showing, l think, is pretty fair, considering that the business began wilh very little capital and no good will to speak of The United States was the only one on earth, and we had about three millions of people, Of course there is no use to count Sau Marine and Andarra. Today there are twenty-five republics in ac- tive operation and growing every year, with a Population, in round numbers, of two hundred and twenty millions. The etlete monarchies and the thrones and the crowns and the tyrants 8 heel still have the bulge on about twelve hundred millions of the worlds fourteen hundred millions of people, but they have been getting in their work for sixty centuries and we have been at it for only century and quarter, By gravy! if we continue to grow as we have for the last cen tury and quarter we will have a population in six thousand years Of ten thousand five hundred and six ty millions, as compared with the monarchy record of twelve hundred millions for tho same time.
 Of the twenty-five republics all but five are located in the western hemis- phere. These five represent seventy of the two hundred and twenty mil. lions of republicans, giving some thing more than two.thirds tO Ameri- ca. The republics are as follows:
 Argentine, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, France, Guatemala, Hayti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Orange Free State, Par aguay, Peru, Salvador, San Domingo, Switzerland, Transvaal, United States. Uruguay, Nenzuela, Liberia and Cuba.
 r Cuba is not quite on the list yet, but she will be; and the Orange Free State and the Transvaal are slightly disfigured, but they are still in the ring, The biggest one and the best one is the first one. l guess l needn't mention itS.uame. France is second Brazil third and Mexico fourth. The smallest is the Orange Free State, or what is left of it.
 1.-The republic sentiment is growing among the colonies of the empires and they are beginning to chafe un, der a yoke which is in reality lighter than their own responsibility would be. But it is in the air of the present | to be your own man, and the colon ists want to try hustling for them selves awhile. The next one to join our column, the great procession ot progress, will be the republic of Aus tralia, aud the republic of the Pacific will be one of the foremost of the | future.

One of the strangest elopements that
probably ever occurred was that of Mrs.
McEathron, wife Of travelling sales
man for Carson. Pirie & Co. Of Chicago.
To all appearances Mrs. McEathron. was
drowned in the James river, near Huron,
S. ID. Her husband owns a stock farm
seven miles from Huron. He travels on
the road and his wife manages the farm.
Mrs McEathron started for drive.
Later the horse returned home. Search
followed and the trail led to a bridge
crossing the James river. Her buggy was
found smashed to splinters, and tracks
made by the vehicle indicated thai sL'
had q desperate struggle with the ria-
away horse and that she / ad been thrown
over the bridge into the river. Hundreds
of citizens turned out to search for her
and the river was dragged. After this
had been kept up for some time Roy I'm
derhill. a young farm employe OF Mrs.
McEathron, became confused in his state
ments and finally confessed that Mrs.
McEathron ard he had planned au elopc-
ment Underhill said that he had driven
her to Iroquois. where she had taken the
train. That 1t was his Intention TO join
her as soon as ii was settled that she
had been drowned. He confessed that he
smashed the buggy at her instigation aud
that there had never been a runaway.

Chicago.

From the fact that there
bnle110 are labor disputes in so
many places it is evident
that the spirit of unrest is at work. The
country is unusually prosperous with
many industries taxed beyond capacity.
Money is plentiful and the people have
more of it per capita than ever before.
Any willing man may find employment
and wages-on the whole-are higher
than for years. With these conditions it
would seem that this should be a time
for contentment, yet it is not entirely so.
Unreasonable as are some of the de-
mands of the workingmen, there is some
thing to be said for the general cause of
labor. An important consideration. and
oue rarely given sufficient weight by EN-
nloyers. who look aSkance at an increas-
ing wage scale, is the increased cost of
living. Dun's index figure, which is Il
pretty reliable guide. shows that while
the cost of living in 1897 was 1913, t is
to-day 1915.
The southwestern wheat movement IS
getting under way. and while Kansas
will have yield considerably under the
average, the general outlook foc grain
tonnage is good The government has
issued the first bulletin of the year bear
ing upon the new spring wheat crop. 1t
is found. as was the general expectation,
that there is a much smaller area in
wheat than last year, the government
putting the decrease in Minnesota ana
the Dakotas at 2,511 900 acres. This
does net mean that the northwestern
railroads will necessarily have less grain
to haul, and indeed with favorable wealth
err the outlook for heavier grain ton
mage than ever. Practically all this
abandoned wheat land has gone into 9th
err grain. and even yet farmers are plant
ing fax and barley in scattered places,
where seeding conditions were the worst
earlier in the season. From this time on
the reports from the growing spring
wheat will take precedence as tne price
influence. The Northwest holds up well
in the general volume of business. In
Minneapolis the bank clearings at ST.
f50,023.2T show a gain of 1873 per cent
which is especially gratifying in the face
of decrease of % in the total for the
country at large.

cHIcAGoAN FOUND DEAD IN OHIO
Supposed to Have Been Killed by
lightning While Under a Tree.

A Toledo coroner was summoned to
Holland, Ohio, to investigate the death
of Thomas Kasterzedski, u man aged 30
or 30. who was found dead under a tree
by the roadside. 1t is believed that he
was killed by lightning during an cleo
trical storm, as at that time some work
men saw him take refuge under tree
as the storm came up. From the fact
that a telegram from his wife, dated at
I9S Seventeenth street, Chicago, was
found on his person, it is believed that
his home was there.

GIVES DAUGHTER AS PRIZE.
Kansas Farmer Adopts Novel Scheme
to Save His Wheat.

Farmer James Woolsey has succeeded
in having his 500-acre wheat field cut
before the yellow grain grew musty.
But it cost him his daughter. He gave
her as a prize to the young harvester
doing the greatest amount OF work in
specified time. Willis Roadway. young
mechanic from Illinois, won. and he and
Anna Woolsey were married at Pratt.
Kan. the other day. The Woolsey farm
is one Of the largest in Pratt County
and the scarcity of harvest workers in
that section weighed heavily upon the
farmers mind. His wheat grew dead
ripe, and there was no one to help him
cut it. Then he devised a plan to offer
as a bride TO the hardest worker his 10
ycar-old daughter. She was as dutifu
as g0od-ooking. The men came by the
score. She was given the privilege Of
rejecting any of the contestants she per-
sonally disliked, and many were thus
ruled out. The contest was spirited. 1t
lasted three days, during which time Rod
way, working ten hours a day, cut 100
acres and Wore out three good teams.

weight wearing apparel has felt the slim
illus of higher temperature. Railway

Weekly Review of Trade thus sums up
the business situation. Continuing. the
review says:
There continues TO be a wide discFep-
ancy between the amount of business Of
fered and the contracts closed in many
branches Of the iron and steel industry
owing to inability of producers to assure
delivery at a specified time. Contracts
running we'll into next year Indicate that
the end of activity is not near. Pressure
is still most conspicuous for raii.ay and
structural supplies, and agricultural i'm
plement works are crowded with orders.
Sales of Bessemer pig iron at pittsburg
for delivery next year were recently
made at S16.50, while immediate ship
ments command about S. more.
Limited stocks are still the cause of
steadness in all branches of textiles.
Holders are not urging sales, and buy ers
show disposition to wait. Purchasers
of cotton goods are Influenced by the
prospect of cheaper raw material after
the new crop begins to move. Cotton
rose slightly on a few unfavorable wealth
er reports, but the outlook is very bright
in many States. Tardy deliveries OF
sample pieces by the wooden mills has
caused complaint among the clothiers and
fall orders are not placed freely. Wool
sells more freely at leading eastern mar
kets. and quotations are steady.
Bradstreet's says:
The effects of the anthracite coal strike
are no longer localized. 1t affects dis
tributive trade in a wider area. and high
er prices for fuel reduced the profits of
manufacturers generally throughout the
East. Confidence in fall trade seems TO
be growing. Export business. notably
in manufactured goods, is certainly inn
proving. Cotton goods, and copper, min
eral oils and lumber are all moving free
ly. Cereals. provisions and raw cotton
shipments in May were however, smaller
than year ago. Building activity is TN
impaired except where labor troubles in
terfere. Sugar reflected the active de-
mand of the past two weeks for canning
purposes in q fractional advance. The
peach crop outlook is certainly a good
one. Coffee struck what is practically
the lowest price record this year.
