THE DOOM OK DYNASTIES. The troubles in Spain reported in the dispatches are another indication that the doom of the dynasties in the world is approaching. It is being said in the workingmen's organiza tions and among the common people o-er all Europe: "The head devils be gan this war, none of the other causes assigned for it nor all of them in com bination, could have produced it. It was the monstrous egotism that cer tain families ruled by divine right." The claim is being made that the war was begun because the dynasties saw their tliror.es endangere.l by the rising tide of democracy. Even in England, where the king is only a figurehead having not even the shadow of power, the rising tide? may sweep even the hollow form away. There has been protest made in the English press against those forms and it has fre quently been said that it is about time, when the king addresses parliament or issues proclamations, to cease talk ing about "my army," and "my navy." A document said to have been wide ly distributed in Spain, Germany, Aus tria and Italy, makes the .talcment that there can never be permanent peace in Europe until all the mon archy are overthrown and the coun tries become republics. When the people rule and the government is of the people, by the people and for the people, they will not go to war any more. There may be internal wars, revolutions and changes in govern ment, but there will be no secret di plomacy and foreign wars. This may be the document referred to in the dispatches which is causing the trou bles in Spain. There arc several kings out of a job in Europe at the present time and there may be more in the near futute. World-Herald. D.KINC WKLL IMMtN.

It shows that the population of the United States increased about 11 per cent, between 1LH)4 and l'.tlO, while the number of persons in insane asy lums during the same period increased 2'j per cent.

At this time there is the possibility of .submarines lurking in the Atlantic ocean near several big cities, but they are not deemed as dangerous as w ould, be a. ship which could sail close up and sli-dl the different cities. In l'-'S the submarine was not a factor in naval warfare, and in some way the people along the eastern seaboard are net ns trraid of submarines as they were of the phantom Spanish fleet of lIrs.
