everything that could be branded as
strife against existing conditions or
growing conditions.
Most significant Of all the events Of
tho year was the explosion in open
rebellion Of the hatred. that had been

Chinese against the sdespotic, Manchu

gods. But China was gradually awak-
ening and. when the first flames Of
revolution burst forth, It was the sig

general.
Rebels the Winners Everywhere.
But the Chinese instruction was
but a larger edition of dozens, yea,
!; scores, OF upheavals Of various kinds
/ In other parts of the world. They
broke forth with such suddenness. that
1t was almost impossible to realize
( what was occurring until the whole
thing was over. Without exception,
every one Of the great disturbances Of
the year that reached. an ultimate re-
suit. wound up in favor Of the party
or element rebelling against the con
dftion. In not one did the defense win
over the offense.
The Mexican revolution, near to our
own doors, was striking example, Of
the overturn OF regime. Nearer still
was the successful elimination Of the
battle for statehood Of Arizona and
New Mexico.
Other struggles Of equal magnitude
developed during the year, many Of
them with sensational effect, in which
the issue is still being fought Among
these areSthe battle between labor. and
capital, the people and monopoly,
and advocates Of popular government
as opposed to representative govern
ment. Campaigns onigraft have been
wageds with fierce resolution by city,
state and federal authorities, not only
In all corners Of the United States, but
abroad az well.

growth Of sentiment for popular cleo

currency reform and that for lower
tariffs all these typify the unrest that
exists in our own country.
