derived by the mighty Corslcan from
that stupendous transaction In real es.
tate, the most stupendous suggested
among men since the devil took the
Saviour to the top of high mountain
and offered him the dominion of the
world to fall down and worship him.
II have given England maritime
rivaly'-a proud boast against his In
veterate foe and literally true till Re-
publican greed and Republican malad-
minlstration drove the starry banner of
the republic from the high seas and
surrendered to foreign nations the rich
empire of the ocean. II have given
England maritime rivalw To his
clear vision that was of much more
worth than the $4,000 which we paid
him for alternating domain the rich
est under heaven, yaster than that over
which the mad Macedonian waved his
all conquerlng banner or over which
the Roman eagles flew when the Seven
Killed City was in the plenltude of
her imperial power. If political parties
could be arraigned at the judgment bar
of Almighty God, as individuals will
be, to give an account of their deeds,
one of the gravest sins for which the
Republican party would have to an
swer would be the destruction of the
American merchant marine, which un-
der Democratic auspices was one of the
glorles Of the republic.
When the Republicans came into
power our merchant marine was Sec
ond to England's only and was grow
ing by leaps and bounds. Now 1t is
only "Reminiscences. When the Repub-
licans seized the reins of government
seventy-two and a fraction per cent of
our imports and exports were carried
In American ships, commanded by
American officers, manned by Ameri-
can seamen, flying the American flag.
Year by year under Republican policies
our merchant marine has dwindled to
the vanishing point until now less than
3 per cent Of our exports and imports
are carried in American bottoms. I'm
der Democrats our sails whitened ey-
cry sea and the stars and stripes float
ed proudly in every harbor, notifying
all the nations of the earth that here In
the western hemisphere was great
and progressive commercial country.
In 1908, after four decades of Repub-
lican supremacy, of all the multitude
of vessels which passed through the
Suez canal not one bore the American
flag at her masthead except our men
of-war. To this complexion has 1t come
at last that when two or three years
ago congress, voicing the generosity of
our people, voted large sum of money
to buy American food products to send
to the starving East Indians we could
not find American vessels In which to
ship them, but were compelled, to our
to hire English shipping.
This great and burning shame was
brought upon us by reason of unwise
and unjust laws placed upon our
statute books by Republicans. At the
bar of history and of posterIty they
cannot escape condemnation for this
crime against American
progress and American prosperity.

such bill has been before six Republic

but never house and senate In the
same congress. In this congress Cen
eral Grosvenor chairman, has not been
able to even secure a report from his
committee. Indeed It Is whispered
that Mr.. Speaker Cannon does not
Intend that 1t shall be reported or

with that scheme right now, for it's an
exceedingly cold day when your Uncle
Joseph does not have his way with the
house. Envious persons make bold to
say that he packed the committee
against General Grosvenor's pet meas
ure. At any rate, the general hasn't
been able to make the Republicans on
the committee toe the mark and vote
to report the bill. Assuming that 1t Is
dead, why cannot and why will not the
Republicans join the Democrats In the
measures suggested above and resur-
rect our merchant marine speedily?
Everybody wants 1t done, and surely
the American people will not permit
the greed Of the tariff barons to stand
forever in the way of work so benef-

 on International Stage.


 From the Philadelphia North American.
 Some of the full-nedged countries of the world are rarely heard of. So small are they that seldom do waves of information al trouble roll across their peaceful breasts.
 The smallest principality Is Ionaco. It has an army of 126, and there is no con scription and no taxes. The whole avail able ground is built over so, there is no cultivation This principality includes Monte Carlo, the gamblers paradise. It is on account of the immense sum left be- hind by visitors to the casino that Monaco is not harrassed by taxation. Prince AL bert l has not very responsible posi- tion as ruler over six square miles. He Is devoted to science, and is well known among scientific men for his researches in marine biology. He derives an inn mense income from the gambling house, and the results largely benefit his peo- pie.
 Lechtenstein, a princpality on the up- per Rhine, has an area of only ninety nine square miles. John II is its ruler, and though 1t practically forms part of Austria, it is not Incorporated with the empire by any treaty. This delightful little country called out 1000 men in 1S66 but the war was over before they took the field. Formally they are still at war with Prussia, for no peace was made with. them.
 On the hills near Rimini and 5000 feet above the surrounding hills, is the little republic of San Marine, with an area of thirty-three square miles. It was founded by St. Marinus. a pious mason of Dal- matia, in the fourth century. The village of San Marine Is quaint little place with steep and narrow streets. It has an old castle were King Berengar, of Lom- bardy took refuge in $50. By the treaty of 1873 the republic placed itself under the protection of Italy. The army of San Marine numbers about 100. There are no printing presses in the republic. so 1t Is not troubled with copyright laws. It Is governed by council of sixty, two of them are elected regents for six months. Thereafter they are ineligible for office for six years. For fifteen centuries Lib | ertas" has been the motto of the repub- lc The last words of It's founder were Il leave you free of all mankind Another tiny republic Is that of An dorra. in the Pyrenees This little coun- try of l75 square miles has been the cause of some heartburnings to her powerful neighbors, France and Spain.

Campaiun Was Unique.

Becker's campaign for the mayoralty nomination and for election was unique in many respects. He worked twenty hours day for weeks among the voters. He attended the dances of Poles, Slavs Bohemians, mingled with the boys and danced with the girls. He relinquished his salary in advance. He attended meet ings made speeches, shook hands, passed around copies of his abbreviated home made platform. "jollied" the elders, won the admiration of the women, defied the politicians and talked always and every where against graft.
 In repartee he held his own during the campaign with the best efforts Of Mayor Rose. The latter on one occasion re- ferred to the boy candidate as ''the brat born with u silver spoon in his mouth. ' Becker retorted as follows:
 'The Mayor was born with tin horn in his mouth, and he has been footing it ever since"
 The brat ineident won Becker hun di eds of votes, and the tin horn retort be- came one of the hardest things with which Rose had to contend. Whenever the Mayor began to talk of what he had done and what he would do some gallery boy would shout, '"Tn horn!" and the effect of the speech was destroyed then and there.
 Personally Becker is young American of the type which President Roosevelt likes. He is a great lover of outdoor sports has experienced frontier life as a cowboy. rides magnfcently and takes to hard work like a duck to water. He afr fects no frills because of his social prom thence and his. wealth. His friends be- lieve he will be as great a success as Mayor as he was in the county board and the City Council

viguiers do not always agree. There Is no standing army. Each head of fami- ly is bound to keep a gun and forty cart ridges. Every adult male must be ready when called upon to defend or maintain order in the republic. One of the most lucrative occupations of the inhabitants is smuggling.
 The empire of Germany contains large number of pocket" states under 300 square miles in extent. One notable example is that of Lippe. which has late ly sprung into fame owing to the success sion dispute. Prince George of Schaum- burg-Lippe and Prince Leopold of Lppe- Chesterfield, both claimed the vacant throne. Though Prince George had all the weight of the kaser's influence to support him, Prince Leopold has won his case. His new subjects are delighted. for they bitterly resented the kaiser's inter ference.

Dancing Men In England.

From the London Observer.
 Men who can dance are apt to be viewed with suspicion by their own sex ana at public schools-thea nursery Of so many of our insular foibles and prejudices-a dancing boy is almost as much 'rotted' as a boy who speaks French with a Pari- sian accent.
