NobIemen and MilIionaires.

Thomas Wentworth Higginson says
the American Millionaire is an improve
ment over the average European noble
men. In reaching this conclusion Mr.
Higginson may not have been wholly I'M
influenced Ivy the pride which every
American feels in his own country, but
he has announced proposition which
will bear the test of candid and truth
full comparison. \ man who is the arch
itect of his own fortune presents a very
strong contrast TO the man whose rank
in society is due to an accident of birth
The millionaire, unless he be million
aire by inheritance, possesses qualities
which distinguishes him from the vast
body of men around him. He is, al least
a positive character. He may not be a
man of refined intellect, and, indeed. it
is seldom that he is He may possess no
moral graces that will render him an
object OF homage. He may lack the
benevolence and higher attributes which
attach to men beneath him in the finan-
cial scale. But he will be found to be
endowed with a certain order of talent
and genius for affairs which makes him
force in society, and great power for
possible good
The nobleman who is born to his title
and to his estates may possess absolutely
none of the distinctive traits which mark
the self made American millionaire. 1t
is true that he is likely to show the cul-
ture that has come down through long
line of ancestors, and which is the pro-
duct of cOngenial environment But he
may likewise inherit the vices which are
the offspring OF ideness, and he is GER
tain to display none of the vigor and
sturdy self-relIance which are DEVELOPED
in the struggle with the world. The natu-
raj tendency of the system which deter
mines the destiny of men by the law of
their birth is to enfeeble its beneiiciaries
by weakening the motives TO action.
Their status in society is foreordained
and is in no way dependent upon indi-
vidual effort. They are separated from
the great body of people by false line
of caste-Kansas CITY Star.

The following call for state conven

A delegate convention of 1.-THE demo-
Gratis of the state of Kansas will be held

o'clock a. m, in the city of Wichita, for

Now For Work.

The democrats of Ford county have
put in nomination the strongest ticket
ever placed before the people since the
party organization. Bat this fact
does not signify that all effort must
cease and victory will come, hands
down. On the other hand, it requires
that the advantage already gained in
the nominees of our ticket should be
followed up by vigorous and agrees
i've canvass. Little benefit will accrue
from our present advantage unless it is
followed up with good, hard work. Ad-
vantages within themselves are of little
worth; but when they are followed up
their fruits are realized.
There is no reason Of moment why
every democrat in Ford county should
not support the whole ticket; there are
potential reasons why republicans
should support it. That the republic
ans recognize this fact is evident to
those who have eyes and ears

There is getting to be good deal OF

country at the slow progress made by
the senate with the tariff In view OF

the bill by sections as reported by the
committee, extended debate thereon
would seem to be a useless waste CT

party to pass the bill as presented, the

The congressinoa! Convention
The democrats met at Pratt on last
Tuesday for the purpose of nominating
a candidate for congress. A wide di-
vergence of opinion developed among
the delegates, one wing favoring fu-
sion with the peoples party and the
other being partial to straight demo-
cratic ticket. After stormy debate
the following resolution was passed:
Gas there is no probability that any
nominee of this convention can be
elected to congress from this district,
and as large number of the democrats
deem it to be their duty to vote for
the peoples nominee, on a platform
which has been approved by Grover
Cleveland, We deem it inexpedient to
nominate candidate for congress.

Late reports show that the nights Of
labor have determined to wage war on

bitter end. Giving up to the road al

tions and organized employees has nov
reached a stage where defeat for either
side is more expensive in the end than

The Salt Lake Tribune extends hearty
congratulations to Wyoming Upon its ap.
preaching statehood honors and adds in
speaking upon the general subject of the
territories: when they get the wealth
and the people, and when they have es-
tablished that they are as worthy to be
citizens as any other community in the re-
public. the restrictions of territorial con-
dition get to be uncomfortable. SO we
do not wonder that In all the towns of
Wyoming there is rejoicing. We con
graduate our neighbors, and wish for
them the prosperity and advancement
which their manifold our and their
acknowledged ability entitlo them to
count upon.
The Omaha Bee rises to remark:
That she has great possibilities no one
who has any knowledge OF her large min
eral resources can doubt, and there is
every reason to expect that with the
powers and privileges of statehood the
e%nterprising people OF Wyoming will lose
no time in putting into operation the
means necessary to the rapid development
Of these resources. No one of the new
states was better equipped for entrance
into the union thar Wyoming, except in
the matter Of population, but her more
than one hundred thousand people are
representative of the best type of Amcri-
can citizens, and there need be no appre-
hension that they will fail to creditably
sustain a state government. The action
of the senate was received throughout
Wyoming with great enthusiasm. and
the people of the prospective state may
be assured of the hearty congratulations
of the people of the country"

greater facility for making sharp, strong

two tuyeres, one above the other, there be

ports. with the form of a vertical slat, and
directly connected with a tnyere ring. The
special feature Of the cupola is that the
bottom is a slightly inverted arch, pierced
by two openings, through which both
blasts, or, rather, imperfectly consumed
gases OF combustion and the fluid can flow.
Below is a small chamber, in which the
iron collects. 1t is heated by gsses forced
down from the cupola above, those being
supplied with the necessary air for combus-

The forecast of the weeks business in
congress sent out by the Associated Press
gives a CLEAN of hope that the Wyoming
bill may be disposed of or Thursday, but
its passage, while possible, is by no means
certain this week.
Following is the information at hand,
and the reader may judge for himself 4:
The house has its work well in hand,
aud as the probability hat this session of
congress will be unusually protrActed has
now become practically a certainty, there
is a strong desire on the part of the mem
bers to take advantage Of the Fourth Of
July coming on Friday to secure a vaca-
ton of a few days during the heated
term. The speaker himself favors ad-
journment over until Monday. The house
therefore has one legislative day only
during the coming week at its disposal.
the first three days under the rule being
set apart for the further consideration Of
the federal election bill The rules com
mittee has considered what it shall do
with the one day Thursday, but has
not vet definitely decided what
measure shall get the benefit of
it. The strongest probability is that
the committee will report a rule set
ting apart the day for the disposal of the
territory or bankruptcy bill. but there are
other measures being pressed for early ae-
ton and the friends Of some one or more
of them may induse the committee to
defer the consideration of the territory bill
and give the day to them.
1T may be, however, hat there will
be no necessity for reporting any rule at
all. as the day may possibly be consumed
with n conference report upon tie silver
bill. 1t is not likely, though. that so
early an agreement on tie silver bill will
be reached and that this subject will moi
come before the house again until the
following week. There is also always a
possibility Of a hitch in the congressional
programmes and an unexpected debate
on some appropriation bill. conference re-
port, or some other at present unknown
obstacle may delay the final vote on the
election bill until Thursday instead OF
Wednesday"

So says THE LEADER.-Link Herald,
Excuse us. The remarks quoted were
made By the Omaha Bee, telegraphed to

preston from hat paper. Therefore it
appears that the people of Omaha have a
truer appreciation Of central location of
Cheyenne than the editor of the Lusk
