THE KING OF ACRE

Written for The Evening Star.
The announcement that J. Pierpont Nor
gan. August Belmont, Frederic p Olcott
and other almost equally prominent finan-
clers are interested in a company design
ing to promote and exploit the rubber pro-
auction OF the district of Acre, in South
America, is prosaic and commonplace
enough to pass with paragraph nowadays
In this age of ambitious trade Possibly
only those interested would be likely even
TO remember the fact after reading it. Yet
that announcement in one breath links mat
ter-of-fact American financiers with a ro-
nance that is wild as any that ever
drew its shining wool through the pages of
the history of the Middle Ages For Acre
Is, or rather, was kingdom of Ruritania
How many persons know where Acre is?
Many maps do not even show its name. Ii
lies In great triangle made by the meet
ing boundaries of Brazil Bolivia and Peru.
In II are thousands of square miles of rub
Der forestS-no one knows how many thou
SANDS; thousands of square miles of jun
gle-no one knows how many; thousands
OF miles of river that no one has ascended
and savages that are cannibals
From the borders of civilza ton in South
America itself the journey into Acre is not
one of days, but of months. Three govern
SQuaDDie more or less constantly
over its possession, but in actually the
hand of no government has been strong
or far-reaching enough to rule it, except
spasmodically and with little success.
But out of this unknown land there drifted
the news one day about three years ago
that a new republic had been born to the
Americas-the republic OF Acre. Later
came an announcement that diplomatic
representative of the new sister would start
soon to introduce himself in Washington.
Then followed silence, broken once or twice
with scraps of news of fabulous wealth in
rubber and rare woods.
And then the republic of Acre went up in
smoke.
Who has not read Kiplings 1.-The Man
Who Would Be King?" That mans COM
rade came back after many adventures and
told the story of the kingship and the
bloody ending. The man who would be
king of Acre still has to tell his story He
was a dreamer, too. And he too, builded
his kingdom with his two bare hands.
But what a kingdom he built and how
CALAMITY and roysteringly he lorded II for
awhile. Three armies went into the field
against him before he yielded. Three ma
tons temporarily sank their own differ
ences to crush him and his newborn power,
and vet he might have defied them victo-
riously. But, like the heroes of Kipling's
story, he and his fellow kings of Acre had
within them the elements that worked for

POLITICAL DRIFT.

DIt is painful to free trade organs
to find that the volcanic eruptions cam
not be charged to protective tariff
st. Louis Globe-Democrat
DThe democratic party could do
nothing better at present than lumr
Tillman and Bryan together and throw
them out.-Indianapolis News Qnd).
EFew democrats are willing to adj
nit now that they We're responsible
for plunging the nation into war with
Spain. They are all anxious to put
upon the republicans the blame for
the horrors which have resulted from
the prosecution of the war-Clevelan
Leader.
EIt requires no great length of line
to fathom the Interior purpose of the
charges of cruelty concerning the
American soldiers in the Philippines.
UP to- recent period the accusation
of inhumanity had never been leveled
at men in United States uniform. A
special effort seems to be in progress,
however. to make it appear that our
soldiers in the Philippines are more
brutal and more merciless than the
Turkish Bashi-Bazouks or the Chinese
BoNers.-Los Angeles Herald (Dem.).
EBryan is making fierce war on
the reorganizers, and, of course. he
has the sympathy of the republican
party in doing it. SO long as he lives
the crime of 1896 will not be forgot
ten or forgiven, The democrats who
were against him then will never get
his support, or the support of any
men whom he can influence. From
the present indications, too, Bryan
would be very good risk for life

position to get out of politics, either.

EXPANDING INDUSTRY.
cent Policy of the RepuE-
licnn Party.

One phase of the growth of the
manufacturing interests of the coun-
try is Illustrated in a bulletin just is
sued by the treasury bureau of statis-
tics, dealing with the imports of man
ufacturers' materials, says the Cleve-
land Leader.
During the month of March such i'm
ports were valued at about Sal, 100000
being more than 40 per cent. of the to-
tai imports for that period For the
nine months of the fiscal year ended
with March the imports of materials
were valued at $50, 792,429, or 46 per
cent. of the total imports of $685.
DIG.
1t is estimated that the imports of
materials for the present fiscal year
will far exceed those of any previous
Year in the history of the country.
The highest figure reached in any pre-
vious year was $39O.OOOO00 in 1900.
This year the total is likely to reach
$425,000,000 In 1890 the imports of ma
terials amounted to only "a per cent.
of the total imports; this year they
are likely to be at least so per cent.
These imports in the order of their
value are hides and skins, chemicals,
raw silk, tibers, copper, indiarubber,
wood, tin in pigs, wool, and cotton.
These vast imports of raw materials
show that while practically all the
home products are being turned into
marketable goods, work is given to
thousands of Americans in converting
foreign materials into finished prod
ucts also. There is really something
amazing about the industrial eXpan-
sion of the United States that has
come since the election of 1896 1t is
clear that the voters made no mistake
when they turned the government over
to the republican party at that cleo
ton.
HEIn his paper, Col. Bryan asks this
question:: Are you opposed to giving
the control of the party organization
into the hands of the sulliers, skulkers
and strikers who sold out the democ-
racy in 1896 and 1900, and who seek
now to secure the leadership of the
party they betrayed" Certainly.
colonel; the country must be saved,
and your job must be maintained
