MICHAEL DAVITT
BY r. |. MONKS.

The freedom and independence which
it had been his life's ambition to obtain
for his native country, Michael Davitt
was destined never to see, he died in
the desert almost within sight of the
promised land He died. as hundreds be-
fore him have died bequeathing to his
successors the legacy of a struggle for
freedom now seven centuries old but
as strong. as determined, as bitter as 1t
was on the fatal day for Ireland when
Roderck oConnor fell in battle before
Henry H. of England.
Michael Davitt was born in 1915 in the
County Mayo Ireland. His father rented
a six-acre farm and the family lived in
n mud cabin The Dayitts were the des-
cendents of those who, in the days of
Cromwell IN Ireland. were given their
choice either TO go to hell or Connaus
they were also related to those who in
1s47 left ireland. as the London Times
said left ireland with vengeance. 1t
soon came their own turn to leave, the
family being evicted from its miserable
home ana turned out on the roadside to
starye or perish during the cruei winter
of 1872 It was then that Michael, a ragged
harefooted boy of years first tasted the
offoets Of landlordism and his young heart
vyas filed with pain. He looked pehlhd
aud. saw the poor little cabin home de-
oolished by the evictors, he saw through
his binding tears the road which leu

almost exclusively tropical, and yet the
white man, the native of the temperate
zone comes here and performs the manual
and physical labor required to build rail-
roads, and this under a burning sun. This
fact is worth mentioning in contradiction
of statements repeatedly made that white
men cannot work in the tropics and that
it is only immune negroes from San
Domingo and Barbados who are suitable
for the work to be done on the Isthmus
of Panama. 1t may be said without fear
of contradiction, that there are white
men. English, Irish and Scotch, working
for 50 Il day in tropical Queensland, and
doing as much manual labor as three
or four negroes would do. and this in
climate similar to that of Panama, and
under conditions in comparison with
which those on the isthmus are as
summer resort.
The question is sometimes asked,
what is Australia lilxe?" meaning pre-
sumably what are its climate and phYsi-
cal features. We'll, the answer to that
question is that there exists there all the
conditions which are to be found in a
country that extends from IS degrees
south to 70 degrees south. so far as
climate is concerned and there is all the
physical diversity to be found in the
United States, only in different proper
tons Comparatively little exploration
Of the interior of Australia has been
done, and the reports of those who have
penetrated those vast solitudes are not
such as would encourage further effort
along that line One of the greatest
attempts to open up the interior of Aus
tralia was made in 1872 when telegraph
line was run from Adelaide on the south
ern shore to a point in the Gulf of Car
pentana. on the northern shore. This
telegraph line has been used as a base
for exploration to the east and west OF
it, but with very little success owing to
the want of water Such vegetation as
is found in the interior of Australia be-
ing Indigenous to the country is able to
exist upon the heavy dews which fall

CONCERNING AUSTRALIA
BY r. |. MONKS.

The total population of the Australian
continent is about five million, emitting
the Chinese and aborignes. A negro is a
very rare thing to be seen and then it
may be safely said that he is cook on
an American ship. The Chinese stand in
the same relation to the Australian ma
tives as does the negro to the southern
white people, with this exception that the
Chinaman does not vote not is he eligible
to hold office under the government The
attitude of the Australians towards the
Chinese was very near being a casus
bell between England and China in 1887.
but the Australians insisted that they were
the best judges and most interested in the
question whether there should be free
and unlimited importation of Chinese in
accordance with treaty between China
and Great Britain, and every colony pass
ed laws excluding the Chinese except
upon the payment of per capita tax of
5000 which laws had the desired effect
The British government appointed a
commission to investigate the matter and
it has never made report yet, nor is it
likely to.
Australia depends more upon the ma
terial increase of population than upon
immigration, with the result that the
people are more homogeneous than they
sare in the United States. The nom British
element is not more than 10 per cent, II
SO much, and they are mostly Germans
or French, who quickly assimilate with
the majority and do not join colonies
separate and apart to themselves. The
class of immigrants that arrive in Aus
tralia is much superior to what comes 20
America, chiefly owing to the fact that
60. t.. l,.,
distance from Europe is so great. The
European, until quite recently, regarded
Australia as the end of the world,
place from whence there was no return

and with which communication, even by
letter was very difficult. but now there
are first-class lines of mail steamers run
ming from England every week and from
San Francisco every two weeks in add-
tion to a great fleet of merchant vessels,
both sail and steam, most of which carry
mail and passengers
The Australian is a true democrat, not
in the political significance of the word
but in its best sense. His motto is Aus
tralia for the Australians" even to the
extent of resenting any encroachments
by the mother country. Although there
are many very wealthy men in Australia.
there are no money kings; no private
owners of great public utilities; no mo-
nopolies or trusts acting in defiance of
the government. The people rule there.
and although they do not always act
wisely, vet they act periodically, with
the result that the innovations in legisla-
ton which cause conservatism to tremble
are shorn of their dangers Since the
confederation of the colonies into COM
monwealth there is universal suffrage.
men and women over p years of age vote
and are eligible to every electoral office
under the government. Contrary to gem
eral expectation, the admission of women
to the ballot has served to strengthen the

labor members being nearly one-third of
the popular representatives. 1t must be
admitted that much of the Australian
legislation is experimental. and this has
the effect of preventing the investment oe
capital which is necessary to develop the
natural resources of the country At
present Australia is largely country
of raw exports and manufactured inn
ports. and here lies a grand opportunity
for the United States to take advantage
of a condition which England and Ger
many almost monopolize at present.
A glance at the map of Australia will
show that fully one-third of that CONT
nent lies within the tropics. In fact its
most southern parts are semi-tropicaI

EYES OF WORLD ON ROYAL SPANISH BRIDE AND GROOM

TT HE eyes of the world are turned TO
old Madrid, where the boy King, :
the young, light-hearted. democrat
c.ruler of the Spaniards. gives to his peo-
pie a queen. It has been said that all
the world loves lover" and never per-
haps has the old saw been more fully jus
titled than in the interest which has
been shown in the wooing, bethrothal and
wedding of Alfonso XIII, to Ena of Bat
tenberg, Princess of England.
With all the pomp and ceremony which
are the inheritance of hundreds of years
of Spanish history, Alfonso and Princess
Ena were united in the old church of
San Geronimo, in the presence of the
dignitaries of Spain, members of the
royal families of every country in Europe
and representatives of the worlds re-
publics.
King Alfonso's career from his birth
twenty years ago has been of especial
interest, not only to his countrymen but
to all the world. Little more than Il
score of years ago, Alfonso XII, King of
Spain, died of consumption, leaving his
throne tenantless. A real Spaniard, the
present Kings father. was popular among
his subjects by virtue of few Spanish
qualities, but he did nothing to distinguish
himself. and at his death left his coun-
try in a greatly disturbed state, prey
to the Carlists and revolutionists.
ALFONSO WORLD FIGURE.
Then Spain waited. The supporter of
Don Carlos hid away his Internal ma
chine and the complaining republican
ceased his murmurs, anxiously awaiting
the event on which hinged the entire po-
litical future of Spain, the posthumous
birth of Alfonso Kill Everything turn
ed on the sex of the child As the day
that was to decide the nations fate drew
near, the princes of Spain, mobiles,
grandees, care nails, ministers and officers
gathered in an ante room of the palace,
gorgeous in their robes and trappings.
eager for the earliest tidings. In the
court yard gathered those of more lowly
birth. They, too, were waiting.
Suddenly from one of the biggest bas
tions of the castle a puff of smoke, fol-

which at ono time was none too strong
for the future hopes of Spain
Since his coronation and ascension TO the
throne in 1902. the Boy King has grown
by leaps and bounds in tho affections Of
his people and in his visits, which have
covered all of Europe he has proved
his worth and ability to take care of
the burden imposed on him by birth and
at the same time has shown a democratic
spirit which cannot but argue we'll for
the future of Spain.
DEMOCRATIC SPIRIT.
This democratic spirit seems TO have
thrved despite the fact that Alfonso has
often been the object of anarchistie at
lacks and the prospective victim of many
plots. Once when he was visiting Presi-
dent Loubet in Paris bomb was thrown
which killed some of his escort but left
the King uninjured. This is the only
time on record where death was near
him, but a score of assassins have been
discovered in time to prevent their doing
the boy any harm.
1t was on one of his tours when he
visited King Edward that Alfonso first
saw his Queen. According to general re
port. he went to England TO court Prin-
cess Patricia of Connaught. cousin OF
his bride. and there met Princess Ena.
Gossip is the only authority for the
statement that when the proud Patricia
avoided the young monarch's suit, Ena
said:
IF Patty won't marry the King, | will.
Many have taken this statement to
mean that the young princess-she was
born one year after the l<ing-loved
