derribar los tronos y destruir la
sociedades fundamentales del Es
tado, aspirando q establecer un
orden de cosas y de organismos
tan ut6pico como funesto para Il
consecuci6n lie la libertad comun
cuya causa 50 desayuda, cuya san
tidad Sc prostituye y cuyo ideal SC
pierde.
Tras de esas sendas revolucio
nes, tras de esa combustion uni
versal del espfritu p1blico, tienen
que sucederse reacciones violentas
para ell porvenir humane, que ha de
caer 6 bajo la tiranfa de la dema
gogia, 6 bajo la severidad del po-
der absolute.
Mientras, relapse, elhombre bus.
que aniquilar a su hermano Y aso-
lar la terra, infectando su atm6s-
fera Y escanciando la sangre de su
semejante al choque de las pasiO-
nes desenfrenadas y de un indivi-
dualismo venal, tengamos resigna-
ci6n, y afirmemos qu9 la obra de
la hnmanidad ha decaido, Y que on
vauo la queremos levantar.
Como Sisfo en- su tarea eterna y
como Pen6pole en- su eterna labor,
sera, la regeneration del hombre,
deshecha por la incandescencia do
las revoluciones.
La libertad debe hallarse resta-
naudo heridas, regando con ell SUI
dor la tierra, impregnando de luz
Y de aromas ell espacio.
De otro modo, solo SO hallar5 la
tiraufa; de otro modo, solo Sc lle-
va al pueblo al desquiciamiento
social y al empobrecimiento de sus
ideales.
EPILOGO.
Portentoso ejemplo ha dejado
Antar al pueblo de Oriente, y po-
derosa ensehanza q las generacio-
nes del porvenir la historic de
aquel h6roe del Desierto.
Ouenta ell arabe, en- los altos de
sus tardias caravans q la sombra
de las palmas del oasis, 6 tendido
indolentemente sobrc ell escombro
de su esplendorosa antigiiedad, la
tradici6n de Antar.
Su canto es un ritmo del harpa de
David, y su memoria recuerda
siempre al martir de la libertad, al
cantor de sus hazalas y al poeta
grafico de aquella naturaleZa cal
deada por un sol de fuego y aven-
tada por las brisas de sus desiertOs
arenales.
Su poema, habla solo q su pue-
bio.
Pero 81 episodio de su vida, que
guardaba ell misterio y que hoy
hemos dado q conocer, eSe habla |
= con harta elocuencia, q
todos los tiempos, a todos los pue-
bios y a todas las generaciones que
Aunque a trav6s de los siglos,
ese episodio tenfa que aparecer
la escena moderna del mundo, pa
ra cumplirse ell apotegma biblico
que nos dice:
Debajo del SOL, NADIA hay oculto.
Ell altimo Unconditional.

payroll as deputies and clerks. and
raised their salaries above what clerks
OF the same capacity are worth.
Had work on the city hall been con-
tinued this season, there would not only
have been employment for a large num-
Der Of workingmen who ire now idle,
but there would have been work for
many laborers and mechanics on build
ings that were to have been begun in
the spring in the immediate vicinity Of
the city hail. For this deplorable state
OF affairs the dog-in-the-manger faction
in the council is wholly responsible.
Their spiteful, vindictive and selfish
course has cost this city thousands of
dollars; kept hundreds of workingmen
out of employment, and deprived our
merchants of the trade advantage which
they would have enjoyed by the free
circulation OF not less than half a mil
lion dollars that would have been ex-

Playing Observation-Disclosures

There is n good deal OF slackness in
the building trades just now, and likely
to be more within SIXTY days, when the
large buildings under construction on
upper Farnam have been put under
roof. Very naturally workingmen com
plain and feel discouraged. If any
blame for this state of affairs attaches
to anybody it is to the dog-in-the-man-
ger faction in the city council headed
by Hascall and Counsman, who
persistently Obstruct and oppose
every effort to continue work on the
city hall and propositions to erect other
needed buildings. Their plea all along
has been that the proceeds from the
bonds voted by the people for the city
hall will not finish the building. The
only basis they have for this assertion is
the bids of 1887. Those bids came
within forty thousand dollars of the
means at the command of the council,
even if the bonds did not bring a pre-
MUM.
But the bids last year were extrava-
gantly high. With brick at six dollars
q thousand and a general decline in the
prices OF all building materials, there is
hardly any doubt that a contract can be
made now to complete the building for
less than N hundred and eighty
thousand dollars, the amount Of bonds
not yet disposed Of aud balance OF five
thousand due from the school
board. II the council omits
the jail part and makes some minor
notifications in the Offices, the build
ing can certainly be built for less than
n hundred and eighty thousand dol
lars by using the foundation which
builders and architects pronounce safe.
On the other hand, if q better building
than that planned by Meyers is de-
manded in view OF the surroundings
the council could long since
have submitted a proposal tc
the voters for additional bonds at a
special election.
But the obstructionists in the council
appear determined to do nothing this
year, just to have personal revenge on
the editor OF THE BEE because he had
considered it his duty to oppose Bell,
wether Hascali's nefarious schemes and
entered protest against iobbery and
nepotism by which Counsman and Man
Vile had foisted their sons on the cit,

Estimating Fortunes.

1t seems to be a favorite topic, from
year to year, with newspaper WRITER'S,
in Europe and America, to estimate the
wealth of we'll known capitalists. Occa-
sionally the public is surprised when
truth reveals the magnitude OF an es-
tate greatly undervalued during the
life time OF the possessor, but the ten
dency is to exaggerate rather than dep
recate all such o~pulence. A recent
French writer computes that England
has 200 milliOnaires, the United States
100, Germany 50, Austria SO, France 10,
Russia SO, India so, and the rest OF the
world 1876. The basis OF calculation is
on 81 ,O00, 900, anything under that sum
n OF being considered.
Jay Gould's fortune is estimated at
S275, ZOO. 900 and j.. w. Mackay's at
$3.50, OOO, 900. Senator Jones is put down
for 500, 600, 900. These are gross mis-
statements. We doubt if Gould's hold
ings would sell for 800 ,000. 900. Mackay,
not so long ago, had to borrow a few
millions from Fair to make good an UNI
fortunate wheat deal. Senator Jones
had about 81 900 900 when he first came
to Washington, but it rapidly dissolved
in speculation, and however lucky he
mag have been in Alaska, we doubt II
he will ever see as much money in his
grasp again. The English fortunes are
estimated at something near their
mark, and so are the Vanderbilt estates,
but, Astor is put too low ut $50 600 900.
and the Rothschilds are probably rated
not quite high enough.
q. One remark made on the rise OF mar TO
enormous wealth is quite correct when
referring to the humble origin oil mod

ern money kings. They began, in num-
erous instances, at the bottom OF the
ladder, and worked their way TO the top.
This is specially the fact in the United
States, and il is encouraging to all
young men who have their way 10 make
IN the world. The prizes of life may
not always come to those who deserve
them most, but they rarely fail to get
within reach of all who have the pa
tience, the energy, the pluck and the
self-denial to win them. The maj who
succeeds is usually master OF just such
qualities as insure prosperity, and he
alone knows what serious responsible
ties such prominence entails. The
French writer we have alluded to quotes
the late William III. Vanderbilt
as saying to one of his friends
that IA fortune OF 5000, OOO, 900
is n burden to great for any
mar to carry. Its weight bends me and
kills me. l will not permit any one of
my IN to suffer as | do. / obtain no
pleasure out of my money, and it wins
for me NO happiness. In what way am
| better of than my neighbor, who only
has half n mlllionY" He enjoys far
more than do the real joys OF life. His
house is as good as mine, his health is
better, he will live longer, and, at least,
he can trust his friends. When death
shall relieve me OF the responsibility
that | carry, | have provided that my
ons shall share between them the cares
that this money entails"
There are few men who would not be
willing to undertake all the cares men
toned by Mr.. Vanderbilt il they had
the millions he proclaimed a burden.
There are other men who profess to ba
content with very little, but such breth-
rem are, like the visiting angels, "few
and far between"
