THE OMAHA DAILY BEE ROMANCE OF FIGURES Andrew Oarnegie's Great Work on Democracy. Mr. Describing the Growth of the Great Republic and Bidding Defiance to Royalty—A Book Which is Fullof Eagle Feath- ers and Things, new book Fifty Years' York, Andrew Carnegic gmphant Democracy, or March of the Republic’’ (New Charles Seribner’s Sons), is a stati work which reads almost like a tale from the Arabian Nights. The author has a facility of expression and a genius fo Justration and wvnnr arison which he bronght mlu full play, and the result is a book w i all Americans must read with pride, and which no foreigner can pursie without interest and surprise. Mr. Carnegie was born a British subjeet, but he has become o naturalized Ameriean, and has extensive business interests here While still cherishing a warm aflection for the people among whom he was born, he makes no secret of his detestation of the monarchial form of government, and one of the objects in view in presenting this book to the public was the demon- stration of what he believes to be a fact that Amerien's wonderful progress has 1 due in large part to its republican e e As its title indicates, the Dook is a shie and most entrancing record of the progress of the republic during the past ity years Fow r' |Im- one is m that Tex Sheaking of Hu- prod pacity of Mr. s that the ntity nl cotton L ir the d be grown on 19,000 square ess than one-fourteenth of the exas, yiclding one bale to the ity vo absorb the population which is coming hither in guch volume as to alarm many people, it is pointed out that Belginm has 482 in- ants to the square mile and Great Reitain 200, while the United State, ex- Alaska, have less than four- ca continue to double her population eve rty years, instes every twenty-fi ), she will, in seventy ye 1 the pres ent density of E I pupula- tion will then 000,000, Should the density of Great Britain ever be at tamed here there would be upward of 1,0)0.000,000 Americans.
