It is that in cities situated on the seaboard and navigable rivers and bodies of wafer' there should be built steamer There is always more or less breesenpon the water, and hia idea la that those compelled to be in city offices ail day might get the benefit of this pure breeae through evening, night and morn Ing. The originator of the plan says: The should a roomy, clean and saf a Teasel, with a spreading hull and liberal decks. It should be fitted up with. Cargm and comfortable state noma, located so as to Allow a rr circulation or air. Th common rooms, such as th parlors, I iTInu rooms, dining, smokiog- and billiard room, should ba of the comfortable And elegant Character to be fouad to the better class of hotels ashore.

A SDectal feature should be a clear -Bfmnenaafe dock over aO. The steamboat should be propelled by steam by means of an engine capable of developing a -sfteedof from frr to ten knots as hour. The en gine, however, should be as far removed from LtltTlni quarters ot ths ship as possible, aad ttttj need to be powerful enough only to make Aha Ship independent and safe. Every afternoon at 5 o'clock or thereabouts the vessel should steam to the dock most convenient for business men. Then takinff them on board she would away for a delightful evening sail, and, returning, anchor for the night out upon the water, where the air would be fresh and sleep sound.

All the evening amusements in vogue at the ordinary summer hotel could be engaged in on the steamer hotel. In the morning, while those on board were breakfasting, the good steam er would be bringing them to the dock again, ready for another day of the hot city and business. After landing the business men the boat should go out upon the cool water again with the women and children, an chor and remain till the afternoon. By these the day could be spent as days aboard ship are passed. Such a floating hotel could provide accommodations at the same rates as are asked at ordinary summer resorts.

Certainly the plan worth thinking of. Twenty-three Republics. Today in the world there are twenty three republics. Two, France and are in Europe. One, the negro republic of Liberia, is in Africa.

Another, which hardly deserves the name, is llayti. San Domingo is another. The rest, eighteen, are in North and South America. Of the republics of. the world, fvery one except and San Doming le-gan by a revolt against a monarchical government.

All the American republics were originally colonies of some Europe an government The Spanish American republics are lately showing signs of a new and progressive life. Whatever is said again 8 1 France, whatever forebod ings there may be for her future, thi much at least is true; The present French republic has endured longer than the em pare that went just before it. As to the United States we are well enough, thank you. In twenty years we shall be far and away the most powerful nation on the globe. On the whole, the cause of republicanism is not going backward The Five Trusts.

Five trusts are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. They are the Stand ard Oil, the Lead, the Sugar, the Cotton Seed Oil and the American Cattle trusts. The Standard Oil concern ia the mother and' model of them all. The capital they represent is shown by the gigantic figures tn the table given below. In these times nothing can be done, apparently, without stupendous combinations' of cap-ttaland talent.

It is in reality a form of cooperation in which poor working people might take their share as well as the rich, If they had the time and the talent to combine their little savings into great enterprises.
