Wealth of Great Britain and the United
States.

1t is generally believed that Great
Britain is Weather than the United
States. The country is so much old
Ell that it is supposed its accumulated
capital is greater even though it's
population is much less. But Mr..
Mulhall, an eminent statistician of
the Royal Society of London, declares
that the United States is not only
potentially, but actually the richer
nation. Counting houses, furniture,
manufactures, railways, shipping,
bullion, lands, cattle, crops invest
ments and roads, there is grand to-
talin this country of S49,770,OO0, 900.
Ali he can credit Great Britain with
is something less than forty billion
dollars, or ten billion dollars less than
the United States. Still he estimates
the wealth per inhabitant in Great
Britain at 1,160, and in this country
at 1895. This is complimentary to
the United States, and Of course our
wealth increases much more rapidly
than does that of an older country.

was found insane and committed TO the

one of the drug store where her sons
found her. She was taken back, and Wed

Eds. Democrat
noticed in the columns of your valuable

ton that We have pioneer meeting.
heartily agree with you, that the idea is .
good one. Aud fellow pioneers Of Linn
county, let us have . meeting Of this kind,
and talk over the old time stories, trials,
troubles, and pleasures, Of the past. Let
us have good dinner, the old pioneers will
enjoy it. But l would suggest we have it
in grove near Lebanon a. the point Is more
central and therefore would accommodate
more Of tho old people, as many who live In
the remote part Of the county could not at.
tend il held at Albany, IS well as they could
If held at Lebanon or some central point.
think that the tine suggested by you
would be too early in the season for good
roads aud fair weather. / would suggest
the convention be held about the last Of
June as then there is slack time in farm
work and people would feel more like
spending several days as they would have to
do, II they came from oil parts Of the county.

There are several in this city. daughters
of respectable parents, who are going to
ruin as fast as their uncertain associations
will carry them, They are allowed to run
around the streets so much and go with
such hoodlumish young men that their
characters are becoming tainted to such a
degree that they are almost past redemp-
ton. II their parents would keep them
from going over the falls they had better
turn over new leaf petty quick, for in
several cases there is very little time to
lose. You may say it is impossible that
your daughter is walking in the crooked
path but We enjoin you to be sure of The
