The great idea of an imperial fed
GRAFTON of the British Isles which
Gladsto ne evolved in 1886 has at last
leavened the whole lump. 1t has taken
these twenty.four years to bring to
the minds of the Welshmen and
Scotchmen that their true allies are
the Irish and for the Irish to perceive
that their mission is not confined to
the Emerald Isle, but includes the
three Kingdoms and the principality
The change that is at hand in Eng
land is as momentous as any that has
previously enlarged her bounds. The
reconciliation of Saxon and Celt is
imminent and the chief actor in bring
ing the transformation to pass is the
little Welshman whom Balfour once
treated with contemptuous toleration
now Chancellor Lloyd-George.

1t is generally accepted that the
catalpa tree is the coming tree which
is to avert the disaster of becoming
treeless country. They grow with
amazing rapidity and yet the wood
Is more lasting than oak and other
slow growing trees. In three years a
grove of 100000 catalpa trees, planted
near Duquoin, H., has grown to such
size that 1t is thought railroad ties
can be cut from them in few years
more. Railroad ties of catalpa trees
have been used thirty years without
showing signs of decaying and catalpa
fence posts have been known to last
a century. Without doubt it is des-
tined to solve the problem of future
railroad building and to furnish a
supply of lumber for all purposes.

The wealth of Alaska is almost in
comprehensive and the capitalists OF
the country are each eager to get
as big slice as possible. At first
they opposed the admission of Alaska
as a state, but evidently they have
decided that local state government
can be handled easier than the Unit
ed States congress, so Alaska will
probably be admitted into the union
before many years elapse.

THE FRENCH RAILROAD STRIKE

THE FRENCH RAILROAD STRIKE.
French transportation is tied up in
tangle because of the railroad
strike. 1t is far more widespread
disturbance than has ever been seen
in our country, where most of these
upheavals have been confined to a

economic conditions abroad that one
of the principles of the strikers is a
minimum wage of 81 per day.
1t is many years since 81 per day
was minimum wage in our country.
The grade of men that get that pay
in France receive about $3.50 to 81
with US.
