THE DUCHESS WILL HAVE TO PAY.
Her Income from the Hamersley Estate
cut Down.
New York Times.)

Three judgements aggregating $685.
l2l so against the Duchess OF Marlborough
are held by John Jaiiray, he having
secured one himself and the other two
having been assigned to him. Dir. Jafiray
recently began suit to have determined
how much OF the income of the Duchess,
under the will of her first husband, Louie
C. Hamersley, could be applied to paying
off his judgements.
In her answer to the complaint the
Duchess of Marlborough denied that her
income from Mr, Hamerslcy's estate was
$lau 900 year, as alleged by Mr. JaIfray,
and declared it was not over 1000, all
of which she used for her support and
maintenance. 1t was necessary, she as
serted, i'll order for her properly to dis
charge her social duties and to live in the
STYLE and state in which it was fit she
should live and according to the usages
aud customs and traditions OF the posi-
ton which she occupied as the Duchess Of
Marlborough and q peerless OF the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
that she should use all the income.
The matter was referred to William a.
Duer, and his report was filed in the county
clerks office yesterday. Mr.. Duer slightly
differs from the Duchess OF Marlborough S
conclusions as to the necessity of the en-
tire income being used for her support in
proper style. He places the gross income
to the Duchess from Hamersley's estate
at sl40, 900 and the netincome at $l30, 600.
He mentions the fact that there is pending
an appeal from the Surrogate's decision
in the contest over Mr. Hamersley's will,
and that it the decision be reversed the
Duchess will he eptitled to the entire in-
come from the estate and to the principal
Of the personal estate. The personality
Of the estate he estimates at $4,000, 0eO
and the realty at about $4,000, 600.
Only portion OF her income, which is
liable to increase, he concludes, is neces-
sury for the Duchess support, and he
holds that it would be reasonable TINT
$50, 600 be allowed each year from the in
come to be applied toward paying off Mr..
jaifray Judgements, Judge Beard signed
an order making on extra allowance OF
$4,000 for Mr. Jatsray's counsel.

Great Fortunes and the Tariff.
From the New York Tribune.)


Our esteemed contemporary, the New
York World, in its Sunday edition pub
lished list of l22 persons living in the
United States who, it claims, are worth
$1,000, 900 and upward each. To he more
specific, there arc in the list two persons
rated at $l25, coo 900, one at $l00,00O,OOO,
one at SIS, 900, 000 one at $40, 900 goo, one
ut $50, 000,0 900, five at S30OO0,0 600 each,
four at So. 000, 900 each, two at O,000,-
900 each, seven at 81 1000, 900 each, five at
$l2, 1000 900 each, five at $S,000,000 each,
two at $G,0OO,O00 each, sevcnty-five at
$5,000,000 each. The entire list aSgre-
gates $l,552 100000.
The Tribune has been examining that
list with no little interest, and would
call the attention Of our neighbor to a
lesson which it teaches. The wealth
of the thirty-hve persons first named
foots up 81 ,0S5, 100000. Among the en-
tire .hirty-fvc there arc only two
who made their money hy manufacturing
articles protected by our tariff laws. One
of these is in the $200O0,O 900 and the
other in the $l5,O00,000 list. Out of the
entire l22 names there will be about twen-
ty who made their money in that way,
and the aggregate rating of these twenty
is less than $ll2,00O,00O. That leaves in
the list l02 men who made their money
in other ways, and their wealth foots up
the enormous sum ofa$l 100000, 900.
In the same issue of the same paper
there is a sheer at the misfOrtunes Of two
manufacturers who have been so unlucky
as to fail while believing in the protective
system. The fact is that the benefits of a
protective tariff go largely to the men who
do the work, and who receive these bene-
fits in better wages. This list shows most
clearly that the great bulk of the men
who have amasscd such enormous fortunes
in the past have not made their money by
the aid Of any tariff laws.

Lost His Suit AZ Last.

Hon. Joe Williams of Hot Creek,
Nye county, has been having some
New Jersey parties about his home
steal for twelve years. He won his
cas- on different phases oft right along
for ten or twelve times. Finally the
other side got him before the United
States Supreme Court and he lost.
The full decision is not yet received.
The cause of all the trouble is over a
mill and millsite located on Williams
homestead Williams, years ago sold
the New Jersey parties a mine and
millsite and water privilege. They
failed to pay him, and he has been
endeavoring to get title to his home,
which includes the milsite. First be
made desert land entry, but can eel
ed and abandoned it. Then he had
the State select II for him under the
two. millionaire grant, and he con
tracted with the State in the usual
way for its purchase. All of this was
regulurly accomplished, and he now
stands in position to receive his pat
ent on making final payment for the
land. But the Supreme Court steps
in and holds that the State bad no
right to select land that lad been pre-
viously improved. This is a very
important point and involves the val
idity of title tna great many OF the
ranches and homes in Nevada. 1t
upsets things generally. However. 1t
is difficult tn see how the late
decision of the Supreme Court is to
be enforced. The State has never
been made u party in any suit. 1t
took title from the Government and
passed title to the people in strict
conformity with law. The people are
in possession and are quite apt to
hold the fort. Our friend Joe Will.
lams has been beaten but does not
surrender yet. His friends all over
the State will hope that he may come
out on top in the final round up

child of J. e. and Margaret Crowley,
at Sutro one day last week. The par
ticulars, as related by DR.. Harris,
who was summoned by telephone
when too late, are about as follows (;
Mr.. and Mrs. Crowley stepped into a
neighbours house for few minutes,
leaving group of little children play
ing about their premises. On return
ing they were greatly alarmed at the
absence of their little one, aud a

to resuscitate the child, but without
avail. The parents are well-nigh

A Man Of Advanced Ideas.

Senator PETER is certainly as active
a missionary as the Kansas Farmers
Alliance could possibly have sent to
Washington TO spread the doctrines
of that organization. He was the
principal speaker at a public meeting
held under the auspices of the
Knights of Labor few nights ago.
He said: "Under the old dispensation
It was criminal to teach a slave to
read. This appears rather harsh, but
from the standpoint of arbitrary and
despotic power it was logical. 1t is
not very difficult ask TO euslave an
ignorant people and it Is easy to keep
an illiterate people in bondage, but
an intelligent or educated people or
nation will never permit themselves
to be deprived of the boon of liberty.
Thus it is that there is so much agita-
tation, so much discomfort In the
industrial world.
"Men are being educated to know
what their rights are, and knowing
them they are going to have them.
It Is not so many hundred years since
the laborers on an estate descended
from father to SOIL, like other chattel,
but that time is gone forever. The
farmers, the mechanics, the wage
workers of this country planted civil
ization on this soil, constructed rail-
roads, built bridges and created
mighty industrial empire in what was
before wilderness. Have not they
and their children right to the pro-
duct of their toll 2
"The people have become tired of
sending petitions to Congress to have
them disregarded. Hereafter living
petitions, like myself, will be sent,
and they will get what they are sent
after. The great trouble with many
people is that they look up To and re-
spect authority too much, and pay
too much heed to worm -eaten tradi-
tions. Even men high in govern
mental authority, who should be the
opponents of great Industrial princi-
pies, handle them as II they we're
afraid Of being scorched by the con-
tact. All OF that will be changed in
the near future, as we'll as the practice

A Tale without N Moral.

The Nevada Transcript has the fol-
lowing: AT least one Nevada Indian
has risen to success, and that by a
most remarkable route. In 1881 he
was sentenced TO the penitentiary for
life for killing Chinaman. and was
sent to work in the quarries. The
other day the Governor pardo ned
him, and he now fills the place OF
boss blaster at wages of s3 so and
board. There Is no moral 10 thi.
story, for II the man hadn't commit-
ted murder he would be to-day as he
was at the time of the crime, dirty,
vicious, aimless loater.
