Unless some great change takes place in
our financial or social system the millionaire
is certainly coming at a rapid pace. True,
a vast fortune does not multiply by mere in
terest. il kept at home. quite so rapidly as one
of moderate size, on account of the difficulty
of renvesting such enormous incomes at full
rates of interest. But it is also true that in
other respects large fortunes tend to increase
much more rapidly than very small ones
Opportunities for large profits on special
transactions are presented to millionares far
more often than to others. They are more
likely to gain by the ''unearned increment"
They can afford to pay for the very best SER
vice, and they can and do secure agents of
great ability and integrity. Such agents can
us easily make safe Investments in the West
ut per cent as in the East ut 5 per cent
Small capitalists must keep their money at
home. because they cannot watch over distant
investments or afford to employ local agents.
These advantages more than compensate for
the lower rate of intrest which large capital
lists often have to accept Oh home investments
in consequence of their rapid accn,nulations.
Thus we see that in the last twenty years,
while rates of intrest have been constantly de.
clining in Ameica, vast fortunes have in.
creased more rapidly than ever before.
Several non-speculative estates have increas.
ed five-fnld in less than forty years. Interest
il new very low; but, adding to interest the
steady increment Of city lands, an addition
of ut least per cent per annum at compound
interest may be counted upon for these great
estates. Al that rate II present fortune of
5000 600, would become billion Isl ,OOO,-

conditions remaining unchanged, the Amer-
can billionare might reasonably he looked
tor within that time and several billiouures
might be expected within sixty Years.

Very little snow has fallen in the noun

usually compelled to shut down during the
winter on account Of snow, have been work.
ing right along without interruption. This
begins to look bad for our farmers, for q
scarcity of snow means a scarcity OF water
next summer, and as the season for heavy
snow falls is drawing to a close, it is any
thing but encouraging. Still, there may yet
be heavy storms in the mountains this month
which, although not particularly liked by
the miners, will be hailed with joy by the
yrangers.

renewing seed, and especially small grains,
from distance. Grain that has been re-

Of latitude, are not sufficient, but the new
seed should be brought from "a locality that

The general principle is that we should work

Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, May 16.-The meeting
called for the purpose of laying the plan of
campaign adopted at Fort Worth for the
Texas Columbian exhibit was held to-
night in the Board of Trade hall.
On the stage were Mayor McDon-
aid, T. J. Hurley, Parrott (of Waco,
j. n. Browning, j. I. Dickinson and A.
P. Woodbridge, who acted as master of
ceremonies.
Mr.. Hurley, the first speaker, discussed
reasons therefor and dealing in figures and
statistics, actual and possible, to illustrate
and enforce his ideas on that subject He
spoke briefly and in his usual entertaining
manner
Mr.. Dickinson was then presented to his
old friends in very neat speech by Mr..
Woodbridge. After expressing his gratifi-
cation at meeting his old friends once
more, he placed before them the
plan of exhibit as adopted at Fort Worth.
In doing so, he stated that having called on
Governor Hogg, the executive declared
earnestly that both privately and officially
he would do all in his power to promote the
object of the exhibit association.
Col. Parrot, chairman of the executive
committee of the board of directors of the
exhibit association, made few remarks on
the manner in which it is proposed to raise
the necessary amount of money
Governor Lubbock was called on to
speak few encouraging words,
and did so with something of his customary
amplitude, criticising freely the mossbacks
who, Land poor already, are yet too
stingy to part with part of
this realty in order to pay
taxes on the remainder. Such people
wanted to retain all the land in the state
for them and theirs. He was not one of
that class.
