WOMEN FOR GERMAN COLONIES.
EHor, to Overcome the Disparity Be-
tween the Sexes.

In the colonies Of Germany there
are regions aggregating an area larger
than the mother country herself where
German settlers may thrive and make
new homes for themselves. They may
live in these new homes In greater
comfort than In the old country. AZ
present there are about 10000 white
men in these colonies. but only 1000
women. This disparity between the
sexes is being much talked about In
Germany Many Of the leading Ger.
man women are studying the problem.
They are asking n II would not
be a blessing to the colonies II their
white population consisted OF some
thousands OF German families instead
Of few thousand German men. Would
II not transform the colonies into new
Germanys? The women say the Ger
man family should be the social unit
In the colonies.
In June last the womcn's Colonial
union was organized under the patron.
age OF Grand Duke Johann Albrecht OF
Mecklenburg Nearly every member
Of the managing committee Is the wife
Of a government Official or OF an army
officer

OF colonial scenes and news and com.
ment OF the colonies. This is the or
gan Of the union. but II is only one
among n number OF means through
which the Influence Of the union Is
beginning to be widely felt. II is
working to interest German women OF
all ranks In life In the colonies giving

Differences OF Parties,

Beyond all platform declarations
there are fundamental differences be-
tween the Republican party and its
chief opponent which make the one
worthy and the other unworthy OF pub
lie trust
In history the difference between
Democracy and Republlcanism liz that
the one stood for dehased currency.
the other for honest currency, the one
for free silver. the other for sound
money; the one for free trade. the other
for protection, the one for the contrac-
tion OF American influence the other
for Its expansion, the one has been
forced TO abandon every position
taken On the great issues before the
people, the other has held and vindi.
Gated all.
Adversely Against Prosperity.
In experience the difference between
Democracy and Republicanism IL that
