and is considered an Improvement on
the government of the United States,
Canada or Australia. The question
of negro suffrage has been left to
the several colonies constituting the
government.
The Cadets or Constitutional Demo-
Gratis have increased their majority in
the Russian Doume; strikes have been
almost universal in Norway and
Sweden; in December Italy's cabinet
resigned; Austria-Hungary is taking
q more active part in European af-
fairs and Emperor Joseph is not con-
tributing towards peace among the
powers.
A revolution has taken place in
Nicaragua and President Zelaya, who
had two Americans shot for partiCi-
pating, has been forced to resign the
presidency and the United States may
ask that he stand trial for murder.
Our country has recognized the bellig-
erency of the insurgents. A flood Of
European immigration has turned to
South America and Argentina now
receives as many immigrants as the
United States did ten years ago. In
January last we again put the
Republic on it's feet with Gomez as

National Lottery Bill which will raise
immense revenue.

In the United States the most signi-
ficance attaches TO the progress be-
ing mad in readjusting our laws to
fit changed ecO1N mic conditions and
give to the government control over
such corporations as the State shall
permit to do business. The problem
is still far from solved, but a spirit
of honesty is more apparent in the
business world than ever before. A
suit is pending to dissolve the Stand
ard Oil Company and the Circuit
Court of Appeals has decided against
the defendant. The Supreme Court
had previously set aside the $29,240,-
600 fine imposed by Judge Lands and
declared the Missouri 2 cent railroad
fare bill unconstitutional. The Stand
ard Oil Company in order to do bust
ness in Missouri has offered to go in
partnership with the State, at the same
time paying $500 fine. A subsid-
larry company to the Standard paid
Texas $1,S08.483.30 in cash for viOlat-
ing the Texas antitrust law. Indict-
mentS have been found against the
Sugar Trust for ~defrauding the gov
in custom duties through dis
honest officials. The trust was fined
$134,000 and cOmpr, missed with other
Indictments for $2,269, S97. The Penn

phcity in the wrecking OF a Norfolk

Greenville, Augusta county, in the
month OF December, 1902.
Ihose praying clemency in the case
OF this convict advanced the fact that
ne was only sixteen years old when
the onenSe was committed and that
the boy, at best, was weak-minded
and entirely subject to the influence
of others.
A strenuous protest against the par
don came from w. G. Baldwin, head
Of the Norfolk and Western detective
agency, and l. L. Scherer, special
agent Of the Chesapeake and Ohio.
The wrecking OF the train, which.
fortunately, resulted in no fatalities.
was the sequel Of a hideous conspiracy
fering.
In this dark scheme the leading fig
ure was one John Kennedy, while the
boy Bailey's mother also played a
part in il.
kennedy was sentenced to be hang
cd, but only a short while before the
time set for his execution he escaped.
He has never been captured.
Bailey's mother was sentenced to n

Gently discharged from the peniten-
tiary.
The evidence showed that Bailey.
despite his youth, went about his part
OF the crime with fiendish precision.
