THE NEW DONINION.

Congratulations are due to New Zealand on
her attaining new rank among the nations OF
the world. Years ago she declined the tiatterlnS
invitation to merge her individuality in the
Commonwealth of Australia. preferring to re-
main a separate colony. Now her choice OF
separate estate is recognized confirmed and re
warded by the imperial government In the offer
to raise her to the status of dominion. upon
the adoption of resolution to that erect by
the Colonial Parliament. COncurrenty with Such
change of title there will he some increase OF
autOnOmc power and privilege and of course
there will he a marked access of dignity Of
standing.
New Zealand deserves It, For years that col
ony has been widely regarded as field for all
sorts of experiments in politics, industry and
sociology. While it has been vastly more than
that it has certainly made some interesting eX-
periments. of these some have proved success
full and some have not. But amid them all the
characteristic genius of the Anglo-SaXOn race
has been dominant and triumphant One Of the
youngest and most remote of British colonies
has been developed into IL strong and prosperous
state, which is honor to the empire and Il
credit 10 the race.
1t seems probable that its remote isolation
has actually contributed to this result. 1t has
made the colony self reliant and moved it to
cultivate individuality; nor can We esteem it a
fault if spirit of high self-appreciation has
also arisen:
Last Ioveliest. Ioneliest exquisite, apart
on us. on us the answering season smiles,
Who wonder mid our fern why men depart
To se"k the Happy Isles!
Yet il is none too remote tn be an integral part
of the empire and there is probably no part
Of the whole empire more steadfast in its loyalty
than is the new dominion.

ANOTHER LANGUAQR WAR.

The language question over which Hungary
fought Austria so stubborny has returned TO
plague the IIungarians themselves. 1t was the
contention of the Hungarians that in the Hun
garian part of the Austro- Hungarian army the
Hungarian language, or at least Hungarian
words of command, should be used The prn-
cpe of uniformity In both parts of the dual
realm was secuted "'Tention," present
arms!' Halt" must he shouted in Hungarian
or the union of the kingdom and the empire
would be broken.
Now the Croatians similarly demand that the
Croatian language shall be used on the state
railroads In Croatia and SlavOHa. That Ian
guage is different from Hungarian as Hun
garian is from German. and is as dear to those
to whom 1t is the native tongue So, logically

PERFECT TEXAS.

At midnight between Friday and Saturday the
State of Texas crossed the thin line that sepa-
rates baIbarism from civilization and entered
into a state of perfect culture and good man
nerS. The transition was made just a large
bunch of statutes passed by the perfectOniSt
Legislature went into effect. Whoever doubts
that Texas has suddenly and successfully
shaken off the Shackles of savagery ana wiped
out of memory the very name of Colonel Bowie
is invited to scan some of the new laws. If
anybody can suspect the perfect state of Texas

mandates should he curious to meet the

There is for instance. the law permitting med
ica colleges to deal in human bodies. This is

form appendix was obliged to hang around
faro hank until gang Of bad men from a
neghboring ranch began to lose money and
make few voluntary contributions TO the
morguc But now the medical man is entitled
TO bid for houses of flesh on the open market
BY this law Texas has added to her natural
resources the cash value of the CadaverS of her
citizens Then there is the law abolishing negro
school trustees; this adds brighter tinge to
the already glowing pink of perfection in when
the Lone Star now reiOiceS The race question
Is settled forever DN leaving negro cuucdiIon eN-

easily has the rapid transit problem been
solved: another law makes it a miSdemeanor

consumed much rPjuvenatinC fluid that cX-
press trains had to stop at every way station

The blessings of peace have likewise been
brought to Texas by way of til" Legislature;
