FRANCIS JOSEPH AND AUsTRo
HUNGARY.

The illness of Francis Joseph, the
aged Emperor King Of Austria Hun
gary, has renewed the talk about what
will happen to the Austrian Empire
after he has gone. Francis Joseph is
the last of remarkable generation Of
sovereigns who ruled In Europe dur
ing the last century. Queen Victoria
of England. Kaiser Wilhelm l. of Ger
many, King Oscar Of Sweden, King
Christian Of Denmark, Louis Napoleon
of France, Victor Emanuel of Italy, and
Francis Joseph Of Austria Hungary
comprise a list Of strong rulers.
Francis Joseph has ruled Austria for
fifty-nine years. and next to Queen
Victoria has ruled longer than any
sovereign Of modern times. In his
seventy eighth year his tact, his char.
acter, and his popularity with his peo-
pie are the factors which prevent an
outbreak from the conglomeration Of
races over which he rules. His life
has been full OF tragedies and great
sorrows. His Queen Elizabeth was as.
sassinated in Geneva by an anarchist
in 1899. His son, the Archduke Ru-
dolph, heir to the throne. committed
suicide. His cousin Ferdinand disap-
peared from the face Of the earth and
no one knows what became Of him.
His only surviving brother. Ludwig
Victor became involved in q disgrace
full scandal. His nephew, Francis Fer
dinand, heir to the throne, the old
Emperor never liked. This nephew
never was congenial. He refused to
fit himself for the responsible position
i that he is to occupy. He is disliked by
the Austrians and hated by the Hun
garians, and is not at all Ntted by
education or experience to rule the
heterogeneous masses whom Francis
Joseph has SO long and so successfully
governed. Several years ago this
nephew further incurred the opposi-
ton of the Emperor by marrying a
woman not Of royal blood. BY the
laws of Austria she cannot become
Queen and her children cannot sue
coed to the throne.
The prediction has been made for a
long time that the Austrian Empire
will fall to pieces when Francis Joseph
dies. 1t is probable that the very fear
which Europe has entertained OF this
catastrophe will serve to prevent 1t.
The Austrian Empire occupies that
place in Europe which divides the East
from the West Within the limits of
the territory Of the dual kingdom ex-
lists as many as two dozen distinct
nationaltties. Not only that. the Huns
are an Asiatic race, transplanted to
Europe. In the Empire the German,
Italian. Polish Magyar. croatian and
French languages are spoken. All
these different peoples are jealous of
their own language. customs and laws.

in common are the Catholic religion

A Radical Government Is Established

Twentieth century theories Of gov

HEARST TIES UP WITH REPUB.
IlCANS.

| Politics often present amusing situa-
tons. Such situation is now pre-
sented in the county Of New York
where the Republican organization has
fused with the Hearst independence
League on candidates for the Supreme
bench and for Sheriff Of the County OF
New York. BY the arrangement made,
Parsons, the Republican leader, gets
! five of the judicial nominations, while
Hearst gets five Of the judicial nomi-
nations and the candidate for sheriff.
The regular Democratic organization.
which is Tammany, has nominated a
ticket which is above the average.
Ex- Alderman Foley is the candidate
for sheriff and the judicial candidates
are creditable nominees. Hearsts can
didate for sheriff. and the Republican
candidate also, is Max lhmsen. who has
been the political organizer for Hearst
ever since and before the organization
OF the independence League. The
fusion judicial ticket is headed by Linn
Bruce, ex-Lieutenant Governor Of New
York, who was defeated by his Demo-
cratic opponent last fall.
A year ago there were ten judges
to be elected. At that time Murphy
the Tanmany leader, named six and
Hearst named four in fusion deal
between Hearst and Tammany Hall
1t was during this campaign that the
national administration thought it nee
essary to send Elihu Boot to New
York to save the state from the pos
sible election of Hearst as Governor
1t will be remembered that the Sec
rotary of State made what was per-
haps the greatest appeal Of his life
He appealed to the voters Of the state
regardless Of party af11liation to de-
feat Hearst.
The alliance between Tammany lead
er Murphy and Hearst was denounced
in whitening terms. The speech was
printed in pamphlet form and dis
tributed by hundreds of thousands
throughout the state Hearst was de-
feated by $4,000. Every other candt-
date on the Democratic ticket was
elected. Now the spectacle is pre-
scented of the Republican organization
}oinino hands with Mr. EJoorat i~ ~, q
city Of New York to secure the cleo
tion of few judges and a sheriff, and
all this change is brought about in
less than a year. The Democratic
party Of New York ought to congratu.
late itself on it's good fortune in get
ting rid of Hearst. Hearst was almos
100000 votes weaker in the state Of
New York than real Democratic can
didates last year. His alliance nov
with the Republican organization will
have the same effect upon it that his
alliance had upon the Democratic or
ganization last year. Republicans Of
New York city will be called upon tc
do what the Democrats of the state
had to do last year-explain their con-
nections with Hearst. Elihu Roots
speech may not be distributed this yea,
by the Republican organization, but
Tammany Hall ought to be able tc
make some use of it.

John I. Farley, one Of St. Paul's best
known real estate men, and who, it
will be remembered, won the st. Paul
prize last June in The Irish Standards
popular voting contest, returned from
the trip to the Exposition at James,

visit to the East and South:
Il had very delightful trip. I Wis

Island where Captain Smith landed In
1907, and saw the remains Of the
church built about that time. The ex-
position is good only from an army and
navy standpoint The government dis
play Is very fine but the rest did not
amount to very much. The location,
however, is beautiful as we'll as his
