1t could be demonstrated by statistics
which are undisputed that 100 900 per-

enable them to save about three hfths
of all the wealth that is annually saved
IN this country. AS wealth IS ali repro
duced within less than thirty years, he
calculates that if the existing tendencies
and processes continue to operate 100,-
600 may, within thirty years, become
possessed of three-f1fths of the entire
wealth of the United States. This is
near enough true to be rather alarming,
but some way to break up the present
tendencies and processes may be found
before long

The Truth About 1t.

Some of our contemporaries are vast
ing a great deal of space IN speculations
concerning the next presidential ticket of
the Democratic party. The Cincinnati
Enquirer, for instance, has made the
brilliant discovery that Mr.. Whitney :,
Mr. Brice and Mr.. Cleveland are en-
spring to run either Mr.. Cleveland or
Mr.. Whitney for the presidency, as the
one or the other may prove to be the
strongest when the time arrives.
If the writer of this absurd gossip had
stated that all three of these gentleman,
together with all the other leaders of the
Democracy, had solemnly agreed that
they would maintain keen lookout
during the next three years, and at the
end Of that time they would support for
the presidency the strongest Democrat in
the Union, and that Mr.. Cleveland or
Mr. Whitney might possibly be that
man, he would have struck the precise
tEkth. Nobody inside the Democratic
party is concerning himself about the
candidate of 1892. The candidate of
that day will appear with the same ire
sistable strength as that which came
with Tilden in 1876 and Cleveland IN
1884. When the hour arrives the
trig<ss nor combination, three years in
advance of the time, viii delay or en-
barrass him. If the Democracy were
called into convention to-day for the
nomination of national ticket, the
name of Grover Cleveland would go to
the head of it unopposed. and that ticket
would be elected. But many changes
may occur in three years. It is not an
impossibility that the entire Pacific coast,
and three out of tour of the new states,
may be safely Democratic by that time.
1t is safe only to say that at present, in
this year, 1889, the Democratic party is
more attached to the candidates of 1883
than it ever was, and that it would, if
the opportunity were at hand, support
them with greater unanimity and lIYelier
zeal than ever.
One thing is certain: Whether Mr..
Cleveland shall ever be a presidential
candidate again or not, the tariff reform
issue, which he nobly made and upon
which he nobly lost, will remain the issue
until the industrial emancipation of the
people has been fully and
finally accomplished.

Two Kinds of Fame.
Baltimore Herald.

Within week two celebrated scholars
have been carried to their graves. Both
had reached the highest niche of attain
ment, had passed through long careers
of toilsome service for mankind, and
died, doubtless, with the consciousness
of well-spent years. In the Thought of the
world and esteem of friends they could
not occupy higher position. AS an as
tronomer, Maria Mitchell, and as a col
lege president, DR.. Woolsey, each in their
own sphere, reached the elimination of
earthly fame.
But while these were borne to the tomb
and fitting eulogy said above their dust,
two railway trains from convergent
points were Fastening to New Orleans
Each bore man who was the center of
all beholders. From near and far peo-
pie gathered along the railroad to
see Sullivan and Kilrain and
wish them ''good luck - The ovation
given to these men, however, was never
equaled in the lives of President Woolsey
or Maria Mitchell. Indeed, all that has
been said of them in the newspapers and
elsewhere can hardly compare with that
which is written about the prize fighters.
This fifty illustrates the broad differ
ence DeI"eeu real Idiue anu mere noCo-
riety. In their hearts the American peo-
pie despise both Sullivan and Kilrain and
the mission upon which they are bent.
So, too, do they admire and appreciate
the worth of the astronomer and the
philosopher. But IN the clamor of the
moment they are giving to couple of
pugilists that measure of attention which
they would withhold in calIner moments.
Yet, is it not curious comment upon
American sincerity that the prize fighter
fills the horison while the scholar is un-
noticed at his burial?

CRIMINAL REFORM.
The Part that Prison Reform is Playing In the
Advancement of the Human Race.

The Part that Prison Reform is Playing In the
Advancement of the Human Race.
FORT WORTH, Tex, July 10, 1889.
To the Gazette.
was much interested in reading your
editorial this morning on the subject of
Criminal Reform, in which you refer to
the opinions of several gentlemen who
have made,a special study IF that mat
ter. I quote one paragraph: ''The
writers agree also that criminals should
not be sent to prison for refOrmatOry puT-
poses. They are apt rather to learn the
ways of crime while in prison than the
ways OF virtue.
This is true under the prevailing mode
of conducting our prison system.
But the reform is sought mainly
through the entire separation of the
two classes of prisOners-those who
are confirmed criminals. as shown b !
their repeated offenses, and those whOf
are for the first time are convicted Of
felony. New York has had this system
in operation long enough to thoroughly
test its value as a reformatory measure.
The reports of the Elmira, n. Y,
prison show that the average yearly adj
hundred, and of this number nearly 50
per cent. go out skilled in some trade,
and thereafter become worthy, reputa-
bic citizens of the commonwealth.
This class of first offenders can be dis
charged on parol at the expiration of the
minimum term fixed by law for this Of
Tense provided their conduct has been good
and steady employment is secured, they
only being required to report once a
month on blanks prepared to the prison
authorities. When the full term of their
sentence expires they are restored to cit
izenship.
They are thus separated from the con-
hrmed criminal class who, unless they
are subjects of executive clemeney, suf-
fer like the victims of sin in Dante s In
terno with the dreaded legend ever be-
fore their vision: ''All hope abandon ye
who enter here.
There can be no question of the efficacy
of this treatment of the two criminal
classes in adding so largely to the per
centage of those who are reformed. The
courts have discretionary power to COM
NIT those offenders whose crimes are
of a fragrant character TO other prisons
This mode of separating the two classes
of criminals has also been applied IN
some of the county jails with very sur
prising results. Boys who are sent to
jail for misdemeanor committed in a
thoughtless hour should never come in
contact with the professional burglar and
horse thief
Permit me to say that this matter OF
prison reform is the key to the success Of
90 criminal reform, - aud it is awakening
a growing interest among all men and
who desire to aid in elevating the
moral standard OF the human race

EDUCATE TIE GIRLS.

While industrial schools for boys are
widely discussed, and while many states
have made provision for giving indus
trial education to the boys but scant at
tention has been paid to the necessity of
providing industrial education for the
girls. Mississippi has an industrial in
stitute for females, which has taken high
rank and sets an example to other states.
| Texas educates its boys to be soldiers,
lawyers, doctors and farmers; but what
is Texas doing for its girls? OF this girls
| industrial school in Mississippi, Senator
George of that state recently said:
| regard the industrial institute as second only
| in Importance to the state to the A. and NJ. col
| lege, and only second to that because eve live
and move and have our being in agriculture
| 1t is the foundation of our financial and indus
trial system, and as have shown, and as you
know, that system is not good one and it must
be reformed, or disasters will be greater and
greater.
One half of our population are females; they
| are citizens but not voters; they are our moth
ers, our wives, our sisters and daughters; in
all the relations of life they do their full duty;
all the burdens of life they share equally with
US, and sometimes take an undue share yet up
to the establishment of this institute the state
had done nothing for their separate Industrial
education
WOMEN HAVE A RIGHT TO LIVE.
Nobody doubts that. Have they not also right,
an equal right with men to live comfortably and
Independently? Must they be beggars and pen
sioners when misfortune or ill-fortune has de-
prived them of the aid of fathers or brothers, or
husbands, or sons? If they are not allowed
fair chance to be bread winners for themselves
and their orphan children, then must, by tax
alton, provide retreats in which they can live in
comfort and ease. Teaching and the needle are
about all the occupations open in Mississippi for
women. The number of teachers is necessarily
limited. Needle women probably the lowest
paid of all human laborers. Whoever wears the
cheap made clothing sold in our stores, may
know that it's cheapness consists. in large de-
gree, in the overwork of women, which produces
disease and death, and of that underpay,
which means starvation and cold, to the mother
needle woman and her helpless children. So if
there be any duty resting civilized state pro-
Tossing to be Christian-higher and more ext
gent than any other, it is to provide that its
women shall have the opportunity for learning
how to win bread raiment and lodging-how to
be comfortable and independent, when overtaken
by the misfortunes of life.

Hon. JESSE JENKINS, Bosque county s
representative in the Twenty-first legis-
lature, was in the city yesterday, re-
turning home from Wichita county. He
is enthusiastic over the capacity of that
section for producing grain, and says the
farmers are now threshing out twenty to
thirty-fve bushels of wheat to the acre.
Mr. Jenkins is like every other practical
observing man who goes into that north
west-eountry. They all grasp its posi-
bilities and sing its praises: And land

plenty and easy to get. Northwest Texas

Chicago Land Values.
Chicaeo Inter-Ocean.

Land is neversold in Chicago by the
square foot, as it is IN Boston and some
other cities, but experts in figuring on
the actual value of business property
take the square foot measurement as
ftheit base of calculation. Now, real es-
tate in the heart of Chicago is worth
more than it is in the heart of Boston
cramped and cribbed though the Boston
center is. The highest price ever paid in
Boston was Sl32 per square foot; the
highest in Chicago, reducing the price
per lineal frontage to actual space
measurement, was S187 so. In other
words, the choicest 'scut'' of the Chi
cago heart was worth SIS so more per
square foot than the corresponding tidbit
of Boston,

ury receipts for this year would exceed
the expenditures by 500 900 900, the
Republican and protective tariff organs
howled about Democratic delusion, and
declared that the secretary did not know
what he was talking about at first
they said the surplus would be in the
neighborhood of So ZOO, 900, and later on
they became holder and declared there
would be no surplus at all. Then the
New York Sun figured it down still finer
and showed that instead of surplus
there would be an actual deficit of three
or four million dollars.
Now comes the report of Secretary

plus of $40 900 900 in the treasury, and
that the total receipts above sxpendi-.
