HIS BREED.

Arthur Chapman in Denver Republican.
He caused each day some sorrow; but
he never stopped to see
He was too intent in being" on the
The lust Of war was i'm him-each day he
struck blow with glee -
But he never caught victims stifled
sob;
That he was cruel minded nobody could
assert
For he called amasslng power only
fun; .
He was simply hooking out for Num-
Der one"
The world and all upon it were blotted
When he heard the daily battle-csll at
morn;
For him no idle blessings, no wanton.
For him no farmers villa mid the
corn;
Though he dealt his blows with power,
and each had brought groan,
He never stopped to sigh Ger what he'd
done:
Yet he didn't have a nature that was hard
as building stone
He was simply looking out for Num-
Der One"
From childhood had II echoed in his ac-
tive, fertile brain.
That slogan which he murmured in the
strife;
It blinded him to cruelty-he struck, and
struck again.
Relentlessly he crushed opposing
life;
He never paused or questioned, nor talked
of how or when
He saw alone his gains when set the
sun;
But It wasn't greed that spurred him Ger
a field OF broken men
He was simply Cooking out for Num-
Der One"

the Britsher who succeeds Sir Arthur
Balfour as leader of the conservative
party in Great Britain. lie represents the
Bootle division of Lancashire in the
House of Commons. In most respects his
characteristics are the opposite of Bal

Balfour in ability as an orator, he has
shown power OF the sledgehammer va

The liberals call him "a bitter and I'M

New Rubber Producer.

Northern Rhodesia, South Africa, is
coming TO the front as a rubber producer.
An American consular report states that
the full extent Of the rubber areas Is
not definitely known, but the asset has
great prospective value. The indigenous
rubber of Northern Rhodesia has been
structly protected since 1903, with the re-
suit that the number of young vines
shows a great increase. A comparatively
small portion OF northeastern Rhodesia
has recently been inspected by Mr.. De
Josselin de Jong, an officer OF the agri.
cultural department, who estimates that
the five rubber forests which he visited
covered in the aggregate upward Of 2l,OO0
acres and that the number OF existing
vines was approximately 100000 lie re-
ports that each OF these five acres would
make a complete estate capable OF carry
ing ECO vines TO the acre under cultivation.

Gomners, Advice.

In his annual report President
Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor clearly sets
forth his belief in the innocence of
the McNamaras, charged with the
dynamitiRg of the Los Angeles Times
building, in which twenty-one lives
were snuffed out, so that his opposi-
tion of the move to appropriate $780,
900 for the mems defense cannot be
mlsconstrued into prejudice on his
part against the accused. Prevailing
sentiment in this country will agree
with Mr. Gompers that, II this aid is
to be rendered at all, 1t should be
done by private subscription and not
by official appropriation. What union
labor men do as individuals is their
own affair, but the American FEEDER
alton of Labor may include many
who do not care to contribute.
The many reasons in support OF
Gompers advice in this, it seems to
us, are too obvious to need much
emphasis. Organized labor is not
necessarily on trial at Los Angeles,
bat might easily force itself into an
untenable position by assuming
things which the trial may disprove.
Judging from the elaboration in get
ting a jury, there is no imminent
danger Of 'railfoading" this case.
II the defendants get a fair, impair
tial hearing the verdict will have TO
be accepted and 1t is this that Pres
ident Gompers sees.

Tennnt Fnrmers Dol Ireland.


Writing in the London Chronicle, Harry
Jones says there are now in Ireland more
than 100000 tenant farmers who have
bought their holdings with money adj
vanced by the state on easy terms. Under
the old order the tenant has no rights,
and, Of course, no land. All the improve
mont that he might make belonged TO the
landlord, and every betterment was used
as a preteXt for raising the rent. Now
there are more than 100000 land owning
farmers, who represent probably 100000
people. The land laws Of the last ten
wears have altered the whole face OF
Ireland. I'VE have seen with our own
eyes" writes MIR. Jones, the thriving
air of many an Irish homestead; we have
heard from experts in agriculture that
the whole method OF cultivation has been
improved. We note the steady increase
in the export of Irish agricultural prod
ucts. In short, the magic OF ownership
is vislbiy Transforming rural Ireland. 1t
was Arthur Young, greatest of all our
writer's on agriculture, who said: Give
man nine years lease OF a garden and
he will convert it into a wilderness; give
him secure, undisputed possession OF a
rock and he win transform 1t into a gar

Granary of the world.
The pre-eminence Of Russia as the
wheat king OF the world is strkingly
shown by statistics compiled by the New
York Times. During the year ended Au-
gust 81 last North America collectively
shipped c. $4,000 bushels Of wheat. South
America s9,42l,OOO bushels, India 4s.712,oOO
bushels Australia Gl,1s4OCO bushels. while
Russia alone exported 22O,072,OOO bushels
It has been estimated that OF the grand
total OF the worlds wheat shipments OF
approximately 500, 10000 bushels, Russia
last year shipped 45 per cent. When Sir
William Crookes OF London predicted
that by 1891 wheat production would
barely equal consumption he estimated
Russias yield at only Sc bushels per
acre. the United States at 70 bushels.
Argentina at 10 bushels, the United King
dom at 29.1 bushels, while Denmark pro-
duced as bushels per acre. Were Russia
to increase its production to equal that
Of Denmark per acre It alone could prob
ably feed Europe and America.
PoIotIcaI Changes In sweden.
Hard on the heels Of manhood suffrage
anu Jle consequent Victory OF the llDerdl
forces in the election OF members Of the
popular chamber Of the Swedish Riksdag
King Gustaf has dissolved the first cham
Der and ordered a new election. The first
chamber has long been the stronghold Of
aristocracy and privilege. Just as the con-
servatives are entrenched in the House OF
Lords In Great Britain the conservatives
Of Sweden dominated the first chamber
and checkmated most of the liberal party
measures. In the body ju.t dissolved III
were conservatives, with only thirty-three
members OF opposing parties. Members
are chosen by local bodies, chiefly mu-
nicipal. As these bodies have been elected
by popular vote the political complexion
Of their choice for the first chamber is
practically settled in advance. The new
first chamber, 1t Is indicated, will consist
of eighty conservatives. sixty liberals and
ten socialists. The expected reduction in
the conservative majority, II is believed
will establish more harmonious relations
between the two chambers and dispose
OF obstructive party tactics. The king
sides with the commons, and privilege
must fall into line or get off the road.
