Spain, Past and Present.
It is Interesting to know that the total
population of Spain 4s 17,565,632. Many
people, without looking up the matter,
would say at a guess that Spain’s popula
tlonwas 35,000,000 or 40.000,000. But it is,
in reality, not 18,000,000. Spain has an
area of 197,670 square miles. The area of
France is only a few thousand square
miles greater, and yet France has a popu
lation of very nearly 1u.000,000. Texas has
an area of 274.356 square miles. Spain
could be laid out on Texas and Texas
would have 76,686 square miles left over.
The states of Pennsylvania, New York,
Illinois and Alabama have more popula
tion together than has Spain, and are Im
mensely more .wealthy. These slates could
borrow enough money with their whole
field of commodities, men and capital be
hind the loan, to pay off at one coup the
■whole national debt of Spain. They could
raise, pay and maintain a bigger artny
than Spain could. Their natural resources
could outlast Spain’s ten to one. Their
steam power is Indefinitely greater, and
as man power can always be guaged by
steam power you can imagine the differ
ence. These four states could exist if
they were sequestrated from all the rest
of the world. Spain could hardly live a
day.
Spain was once the greatest nation on
the face of the globe. Say, rather, she
wA twice so. (First as a centre or learn
ing and science under the Saracenic rule,
when the city of Cordova had a mile of
gas-lit streets and fountains of quick
silver played in the palace yard of the
caliph. Second, when she was the great
est military power in Europe. If you
look at the names of countries, cities and
places hi the western hemisphere you will
realize what a grand empire Spain once’
was and what a power sho wielded over
men. But Spain could not stand the march
of modern invention. She has steadily
shrunk and shriveled and lost her posses
sions until now all she has left worth
speaking of is Cuba. The Phllipines are
insignificant possessions.
Why has Spain lost all her power? The
theorist who holds that education is the
cause of progress will point you the an
swer in the statistics concerning Spain’s
illiteracy. Only one nation in Europe is
lower in enlightenment than Spain. That
is Italy. Os all the population of Spain
only 28 per cent can read and write, 4
per cent can read only and 68 per cent
can neither read nor write. When you
come to think of it this fact staggers the
mind. Here is a nation in the heart of
civilization, and 68 per cent of its people
have no conception whatever of the mar
vels of the printing press or of the letters
that Cadmus brough to Europe. But let
us go a little deeper into this matter of
illiteracy. I do not desire to talk about
causes: the sociologists can do that. But
were one in the mind to do it a sociologit
cal study of Spain would be worth the
writing. Spain, as I have said, has a
population of less than 18.000,000, and 68
pe'r cent of her people cannot read or
write. The United States has a. popula
tion of. let us say, 70,000,000. Os the na
tive population in this this country only
6 per cent can read or write. Os the for
eign whites only 13 per cent cannot read
x>r write, and of the colored population 56
per cent cannot read or write. But, ac
counting for the foreigners and the negroes
tn the computation, there is but 13 per cent
of the population in this country that can
not read or write. Think of it! Out of
nearly 40,000,000 native white Americans
only 6 per cent cannot read or write, and
Spain's percentage is 68!
Labor in Russia.
A recent magazine article in discussing
postal savings banks and the problems of
labor, makes an interesting reference to
wages paid in Russia for man and 'beast.
From the table that is furnished it ap
pears that more is paid for the service of
a horse than of a man. In 'the Nishni-
Aolga section it is shown that the average
pay of a man and a horse is about 72 cents
a day; of man alone, 34 cents; that is, 38
cents for horse and 34 cents for man,. The
•women receive from 10 to 20 cents. In the
central agricultural regions the average
is*. Horse. 23 cents; man, 20 cents; woman,
cents. In the southerp steppe: Horse,
cents; man, 25 cents; woman. 20 cents.
Tais is an interesting commentary on the
standard of living of Russian agricultural
laborers. Its meaning is, simply, that hu
man beings are cheaper there than draft
animals. In other words, It costs less to
keep them alive. In the southern steppe,
live wmen can be employed cheaper than
two horses. Is it difficult to imagine the
conditions of home life, the dearth of re
fining influences, the sodden, hopeless state
of stagnation that such a state of affairs
reflects? Is it any wonder, asks a maga
zine writer, that the products of such a
wage status as this are individual degra
dation. social barrenness, meagre educa
tion, political despotism, religious intoler
ance, and, generally, a type of civilization
scarcely above barbarism?
The Atlanta Journal and the Macon Tel
egraph claim to be perfectly impartial be
tween the candidates for governor. The
Schley -County News has from time to time
contained articles complimentary to Col
Candler, which very evidently neither the
Journal or Telegraph have yet seen; at
any rate they have not reproduced a sin
gle one of them. We have a number of
exchanges on our desk that we have no
ticed closely; when they say anything
complimentary of Col. Candler these
“great” daily newspapers do not see
them. But let us say anything compli
menting Judge Atkinson or anyone else
except Candler and it will be reproduced
in their columns. Are they impartial?
Bah!—Schley County News.

Irith Home Rule.
Mr. Balfour has Introduced a bill In the
British house of commons for the reform
, of Irish county government, which. If en
■ acted, will go a long way toward the bet-
I ferment of the condition of the people of
' Ireland, says the Birmingham News.
Its main effect is to take the direction of
affairs out of the hands of a body nomi
i Bated and controlled by the landlords, and
i to place them in the hands of a body
I elected by popular franchise. The bill, in
wo far as it goes, establishes something .ike
local self-government in the counties. It
i falls short of that point mainly in failing
' to place the control of the police under
the county council. The measures, how
ever, seems to have won the hearty ap
proval of the representatives of Ireland in
parliament, and it is encouraging us offer
ing a measure of relief from landlord as
cendancy. The passage of this measure
will break the old order of things, and
open the way for the securing of further
rights for the Irish. It will be a happy
day for Ireland when this first step is
taken, because it will render the task of
obtaining a full measure of home rule
much easier.

THE BRITISH “NIGGERS.”
Brutal Murder of Aborigines and the Way
Australians Look nt It.
A great sensation has been caused at
Perth, Western Australia, by the trial be
fore tho’chlof justice (Sir Alexander On
slow) of a white squatter named Ernest
Anderson for the murder,of an aboriginal
Galled Spider, and of two other aborigines,
Biddy and Polly. In spite of the clearest
evidence and the plainest direction from
the judge the jury refused to convict An
derson of murder and brought in a verdict
of manslaughter only. I believe no white
man has ever swung for a black, and one
member of the jury declared ho would ait
a week if necessary, but “he would never
hang a white for a few d d niggers.”
Thereupon the others agreed. Anderson
is said to have been introduced about town
as “the man whq killed that lot of nig
gers.” His only regret was that he would
not be able to see the lace for the Perth
cup. The chief justice said that he tried
a similar case 18 months ago, but then
only one black man was dogged to death,
and the jury acquitted the prisoner alto
gether.
The facts In this case are peculiarly re
volting, and the brutality revealed is of an
almost incredible character. Seven abo
riginals, three of whom were children, ran
away from fibndhu, a station in the north
west, which was managed by two brothers
namedkAnderson. The reason for their
flight was said to be that the slicepin their
charge had strayed, and they were afraid to
face the consequences. The Andersons pur
sued and overtook them at another station
25 miles off. On the way back they were
allowed no fopd. and on reaching Bcndhu
they were tied up while the brothers had
their dinner. Afterward the wretched
natives were mercilessly flogged. “Candy, ”
one of the adults, was first attacked. Alex
ander Anderson beat him till ho was tired,
and then his brother went on with the
thrashing. Spider, the eldest native, tried
to run away again, but was brought back
and securely tied by the legs and neck.
Then ho was flogged with such violence
that he died. Biddy ar.d Polly met with
the same fate. Even the children, Louie
and Minnie, one 12 and the ether 8, wero
flogged with the same knotted rope.
Among the local community at Bamboo
Creek tlje case was regarded with a dis
graceful leniency. At the inquest the jury
found that the aboriginals had “died from
exhaustion;” a rider was added “censur
ing” the brothers Anderson, and a ’bench
of magistrates inflicted a few paltry lines
on them for assault.
Subsequently, by order of the public
prosecutor, the bodies of the dead aborig
ines "were exhumed, and after expert ex
amination of the broken limbs an indict
ment was brought.

ver in Freemantle jai I before being brought
to trial.—St. James Gazette.

If you ever uao one of those little fancy
Japanese inetnl trays sold about the Streets
for ash receivers, don’t put it on the stove,
though that happens to be a handy place
1 for a circle of smokers to reach. That was
j what the observant Jereeyman did the
I other night at his country home.
Heai’d bls sons were sitting alxtut a big
. stove on a cold night, all smoking, and for
convenience he put the ash receiver on a
sort of shelf at the back of the stove against
i the smoke pipe. When ho went to bed, he
left the ash receiver there. The following
morning his wife discovered it. It was per-
I feet in appearance and form, and still held
j the pile of ashes, burned match ends and
1 cigar butts which had been deposited in it
the night before. She was about, to pick it
I up. when she bethought herself that it
I might bo hot. Taking something, there
fore, to push it with, she attempted to slide
■ it off upon a plate.
The moment she touched it the ash re
ceiver lost its form, became liquid and ran
off the stove upon the floor in a shining
stream of white metal. The heat of the
i stove bad lx?en sufficient to melt the pew
; ter of .which it was composed, and it bad
probably stood there for hours, all in a
liquid form, except the little crust of oxide
and lacquer upon its cuter surface. This
crust bad been coherent enough to keep
the tray In form until a touch broke it,
and then the whole bud collapsed.—New
