For a moment an distracted look
came over the face of Senator Albert

taking lively interest in the pano-
rama of Honolulu harbor, missing no
detail of the spectacle as he leaned
lazily against the rail of the Sierra

congressional party aboard, threaded
her way amongst the buoys at the
harbor entrance.
The Iowa senator had been chatting
easily about politics and probable leg.

The Republicans are going TO win

Richest Nation on Earth,
From the Newark Star.

4
The most opulent nation on earth il
| this republic of ours. Three years ago,
as estimated by the census bureau, the
wealth of the United States was ap-
proximately one hundred and eighty
eight billions of dollars, or nearly
900 for every man, woman and child
in the country. In less than two-thirds
of a century, from 1850 to 1912, the.
total aggregate wealth of the nation
had increased 1858 per cent, and the
per capita wealth 496 per cent; in other
words, the country as a whole was
twenty-f times as rich as it was in
the middle of the nineteenth century
and the individual six times as rich OF
the aggregate wealth of the United
States three years ago New Jersey had
SIS, 743, 100000 or approximately 1-33 OF
the whole.
Exact comparisons with other nations
at the present day are not available.
The latest published estimate of the
wealth of the United Kingdom was
$4,000, 900, 900 in 1908. but the United
States the next year after that had
S1O7, O00, 100000, and our riches since
then have grown faster than Great
Britain's The same may be said as re-
CARDS Germany, whose wealth in 1903
was figured by statisticians at $751;
O00, 900, 900. or 5000, 00O, 900 less than
we had four years earlier. And 1t need
hardly be said that both England and
Germany in the past ten months have
shot away very considerable portion
of their belongings.

Dangers of the Motor Boat.

From the St Louis Republic.
The drowning of two men in a mo-
tor boat accident near Parnell and the
narrow escape of two more men in the
same accident will remind those ia.
miliar with boating of how PREACHER.
Gus these attractive boats are. With
heavy engine, little freeboard and no.
water-tight compartments, they pre-
sent an assemblage of qualities which
invite sudden death. With skillful
management and reasonably good luck
they are safe, but, since they are man.
ned by people of all classes, they fre-
quently are not well handled and are
often overloaded. When luck turns
there is disaster, and the boat which
should be buoyant in any position sinks
like a wagon load of brick. The tricky
canoe is a nfeboat in comparison with
one of them when trouble comes. New
ertheless the fact that they are power
boats and present an appearance of
strength and stability deceives the in
experienced into supposing them to be
safer than ordinary rowboats. There
ought to be a much stricter regulation
of these craft with a view to securing
greater buoyancy, and makers ought
to be required to indicate on every one
of them by something in the nature of
a Plimsoll line just what load they
may be trusted to carry.

In Poland and Galicia. the report
