The Wealth of Pirates.
Chicago Herald.

Chicago Herald.
II Is reported that a large number of the
people of Connecticut are engaged in
searching for the money supposed to have
been buried by Capt William Kidd on the
coast of Long Island Sound. Many per
sons have been engaged in similar enter
prises all along the Atlantic coast for the
past two hundred years Most of the
small islands ON the coast Of New Eng
land have been dug over with the eXpecta-
ton Of finding treasures secreted by the
prince of pirates For nearly fifty years
operations were conducted on the left bank
of the Kennebec River, nearly fifty miles
from Its mouth At one time many old
sailors turned tramps and managed to OBJ
tain living by selling secrets in regard
to the hiding places Of Capt. Kidd S
money A few of them pretended to have
copies of confessions Of some of the crew
of the gallant captain, while others show
ed charts with strange markings which
tbev said were directions for finding the
sacred treasures. One of the most enter
tanning Of Poe's stories pertains to a chart
of this kind Many of the persons en-
gagged in digging for Capt Kids money
were directed by fortune tellerS and In
spired dreamers. Others were guided by
the information derived from old tradi-
tons. On one island on the coast of Maine
claims were marked out, worked and sold
Us they are in the gold and silver mining
sections of the west at the present time.
1t is almost needless to say that none Of
them ''panned ont well.
The most probable reason why none of
the money buried by Capt. Kidd was ever
found is that it is not likely that he ever
buried any, Perhaps the reason that he
did not bury any was that he did not have
! a large amount at any time to salt down.
| Pirates, like most sporting gentlemen,
were high liyers, On shipboard they were
! not content with fare of hard tack, salt
pork and dried Goldfish. When ON shore
! they were "a gay and festive set of chaps.
They drank costly wines and smoked the
| best of cigars They We're hale fellows,
well met. and were always ready to treat

series on land whom they supported in
good style 1t cost no small sum to fit out
and equip piratical craft Its regular
running expenses were large. The busi-
ness of pirating is not always prosperous
even if it is carried on by enterprising per
sons who have had much experience. 1t is
a risky occupation in more senses than
| one.
In recent times pirates have confined
their operations to the land They have
robbed stage coaches and railroad cars in
stead of ships. They have obtained large
sums of money, but they have not had
much to bury or to put in bank. Jesse
James was the most enterprising and sue.
cessfu of the lot but he left no estate and
his widow was obliged to exhibit herself
in dime museum to get means for hen
support. Most of our other native land
pirates have died as poor as country min

PATENTS AND PROGRESS.
Marvellous Changes Wrought by Inventors
i'm Half a Century.

One need not be very old to have a dis
tinct recollection of his daily life, Its con-
ditions and environments. fifty years ago
when the patent system of the United States
was in its early infancy, says the Inventive
Age Then the country was almost entire
" agricultural, for our grand career IN
manufactures and the industrial arts was
Just beginning 1t virtually began with
the patent systematic creation of the pat
ent Office and ii has actually kept pace
with the development of that system, so
that this magnificent progress stands as
the indisputable result of the system. In
other words we owe our splendid achieve
ments In manufactures and the arts to the
stimulus thst the patent laws have given
to invention.
Fifty wears ago most of the people Of the
United States were clothed from the pro-
ducts of the domestic spinning wheel and
hand loom The itinerant shoemaker went
from house to house, setting up his bench
and plying his vocation in the farmers
kitchens. There were no planning mills;
no shops for the manufacture of doors,
sashes. or blinds. All the work Of the
builder, including carpenters and Jolners
work. was done by hand. The carpenter,
if a good one, got 81 a day. Goa. was CON
sumed but by few families ever in the
large cities. and by nobody in the smaller
towns. The tailors, like the shoemakers,
came to the house and made into clothing
the cloth woven by the mother and
daughters. with little help from the full
ing-mill. that was generally near the grist-
mill of the neighorhood. The railroad
and telegraph had not yet added their
powers to the forces Of civilization. This
year, 1889. is no more like 1899 than the
hand-loom is like the cotton factory.
Better fifty years of Europe than cycle
of Cathay Better one year Of the life
that is lived under the new conditions than
any number of years Of the hard existence
that was drudged ont under the old con
ditions. II is only the hopeless pessimistic
soul. the constitutionally incurable grum-
bier. that does not recognize the blessings
that have come with the march OF lnyen-
ton. For all these. let it be borne IN mind,
we are indebted TO the system that has foster
ed invention and secured to inventors the
right to enjoy the products Of their own
brains and hands

TIE New MEXICAN publishes lengthy

it spoils the article by unnecessary Jlbes

ing the paragraph with a dig at the next

The New MEXICAN never pitches in I'M

say right here: Every time the city of
Santa Fe or her people are attacked,
there will be little music in the air, and
of the kind that will not do any good to
the particular place at which it is directed.
Heretofore few Of our esteemed contem-
poraries, more or less esteemed, have
taken occasion to try and injure the capi-
tai city. This, we tell them in allkindness
of heart, had best cease. twill be an eye

ably in greater ratio hereafter.

There is considerable truth i'll the above
