PortusaI's Tro uble.

With Portugal as well as Spain in
rian Peninsular is in a ferment more
violent that common. While Portu-
gals troubles are in a mea sure similar
to those of Spain. the two cases are
not exactly parallel. 1t is true that
there is some contest between church
and state and the Conservative par

sition to the existing Liberal ministry,
small electorate. The land holders,
content in Portugal are excessive tax
alton, corrupt government and the in
tense indifference of the great mass
of the peasant population to all public
matters.
The franchise in Portugal is ex-
ercised only by a small fraction of
the population. A voter must be able
to read and write and pay a small
tax. AS very large proportion of
the total population is illiterate, the
franchise is left to a comparatively
small electorate. The land holdeds,
nobility, big merchants and office hold
ers are divided between the two mon
archial groups, while there is a strong
so-calIed Republican group, com
posed of literary persons. small trades
men. laborers and professional men
of advanced ideas Their idea of re-
publicanism is merely the extinction
of royalty. They know nothing of
purely representative and free govern
ment enjoyed by the whole people;
in fact. the great mass of the Portu-
guese people are not fit for republican
and representative government, hence
it is proba BILE that even if a republic
were formed it would be short-lived
and degenerate speedily into a dicto-
torship.-New Orleans Picayune.

HOMES FOR THE PEOPLE.

The Sage millions are figuring in
all kinds of good work in behalf of the
people; but no single project Mrs.
Russell Sage has in hand interests
her or the public more than the Gre
alton OF a settlement in Long Island
between Jamaica and Long Island
City, for the future housing of peo-
pie. of moderate means.
The town that Mrs. Sage has plan
ned will be beautiful and furnished
with every adornment that highly
cultured taste might demand. The
houses will be attractive in design and
artistically spaced and disposed in a
way to admit light and air to every
room. There viii be several hotels or
apartment houses, and all of these, like
the one-family houses, will be designed
with regard to supplying not only
comforts, but with the intent of meet
ing esthetic needs.
Rentals will be charged, and the
town will probably be maintained ca
a revenue producing basis. And yet
the rentals for these pleasant homes,
IL is expected, will be attractive to
clerks and working people. 1t is a
scheme that can be definitely expand
ed. 1t is estimated that $4,000, 900
would build a town that would house
5000 people. and all the Sage mill
lions would build twelve such towns.

THE GREATEST STATE FAIR.

The state fair of Iowa has just
closed, and it is heralded by the Des
NIoines Capital as the greatest fair
ever held in that or any other state,
in fact, the greatest fair ever held in
the United States. 1t was so good a
fair. says The Capital, that occasional
showers could not keep the people
away. The figures leave no doubt that
the claim of The Capital is valid, for
the books show that there was an at
tendance this year of 231,23S people-a
gain of 1868 over last year, while
the cash receipts amount to s151,72s.45
"A gain over the receipts of last year
OF $14,339.19.
And does this satisfy the Iowan
ambition? Oh, no, The Capital says:
Now that the state fair is so tre-
mendously successful, the thing to do
is to push it along and make it more
so. We have no doubt that the Off
GERS after they have had brief
respite will begin to think of things
for next year"
This may be rightly denominated as
western push!"

The Public MIXED Every WAY.

After all. the additions the national

The people of Arizona will be the first to judge of the quality of the constitution now being frame at Phoenix Should this constitution not meet with the approval of the vpt- CTS of Arizona then another conyen- ton is provided for to undertake the work of providing satisfactory fun damental law for the new state. So there need be no alarm about the constitution. If it does not meet with the approval of a majority of the people they need not accept it; if it does not meet with the approval of the people then the people will have the kind of government they want and which they are entitled to have.
