The Hopkins Millions.

When Mark Hopkins, the New England
yankee, was accomplishing the vast fortune
which he left at his death, he did not dream
probably that people who had no claim
upon him whatever would enjoy the fruits
of his labor and financial ability. But It has
come about that man he never saw,
and never heard Of probably, has the
distribution of his estate. Edward F.
Searles will get whatever credit there may
come from donations to relatives of Mark
Hopkins and his wife and gifts TO charities
and public objects that may be made out of
the 800. 100000 or $50. 900 which Mark
Hopkins worked SO patiently and industri.
ously to get together. Mark Hopkins may
have enjoyed making the money much more
than he would have enjoyed distribute
ing it, though it is difficult to
believe that there is any one who possesses
large wealth who would not get some satis-
faction out of doing good with it. Mark
Hopkins is only remembered as shrewd
old millionaire, while Edward F. Searles
may make himself remembered for gener-
atoms as great benefactor. He promises
to use wisely the great fortune which

woman who became his WIFE
AS stated in the dispatches In the MORNING
News Sunday. he has given s3. 100000 to
Timothy Hopkins. whose parents were hum
BILE employees of Mr.. Hopkins, and who was
adopted by Mrs. Hopkins after her hus-
bands death. And he promises to make
! liberal gifts to all the other relatives who
have withdrawn tha suits they brought for
shares in the Hopkins estate.
Timothy Hopkins expected he would get
| the bulk of the estate when Mrs Hopkins
died and was greatly surprised and disap-
pointed when he discovered that Mrs. Hop
kins' will gave him nothing The suit
he began for a share Of the estate did not
rest upon a very solid foundation, but ii
yielded him 100000. If he had carried
| the suit to a conclusion it is doubtful IL he
would have been awarded anything. He
was wise, therefore, in accepting what Mr..
Searles offered him. He has now all he can
/ possibly use, and will be happier than if he
were burdened with the care of the entire
| Hopkins estate. Mr.. Searles may like the
feeling of power which arises from the
possession of such immense wealth, but he
will get much more happiness out of it IL he
/ uses it for the good of his fellow men than
if he boards it as Mark Hopkins did.

The trade gates between this country and
Venezuela. Nicaragua, Hayti. Honduras
and the Philippine Islands will be shut on

not seen fit to enter into reciprocity rela>
tions with the United States on the terms
proposed by President Harrison under the
Mckinley law. Consequently Harrison
and the Mckinley law are going to get even

United States pay higher prices for coffee.

port to this country is coffee, of which some

out unless an import duty of 3 cents per
pound is paid, and we must depend on
Brazil for the aromatic bean. If your
grocer advances the price of coffee this
month you will know the reason of it.

A Western Man.

The democratic papers Of the west are
saying great deal about the advantages
the Democratic party would gain by nomi-
mating a western man for President. Many
Of them seem TO think that the democrats
would have better chance for success with
western man than an eastern one.
Although Mr.. Cleveland has a very
strong following in the west. particularly
in the northwest. there appears 70 be
growing feeling that the west should furnish
the presidential candidate. There is no
lack of loyalty to Mr.. Cleveland in that
section, but a growing feeling that the
steadily increasing fractional fight in New
y ork will make the nomination OF either
Mr.. Cleveland or Senator Hill inadvisable.
The success Of the republicans in the local
elections in New York, which are now being
held, has helped to bring about this feeling.
There is no doubt the republicans have
made great gains Elections have been held
In forty counties out of the sixty. aud
thirty-three Of them have elected repub-
lican boards Of supervisors and only four
have elected democratic boards. In the
other three counties there are boards hav.
ing a tie vote.
Senator Hill has explained to his friends
that these local elections do not indicate
anything. Last year they were thought 20
indicate a great deal. In a majority OF
the counties democratic boards were elected.
Senator Hills effort, therefore, to quiet any
apprehensions that may be felt about the
condition OF the Democratic party in New
York is not satisfactory. There is pretty
strong belief that the fractional troubles
have been productive Of apathy in the
party.
The chief difficulty the west finds In the
way Of bringing forward a western candi-
date is the number Of favorite sons. Palmer,
Boies, Gray and others have enthusiastic
Cleveland would not receive the nomina-
tion strong efforts would be made in behalf
Of each one OF them.
But from the indications at present the
west will remain loyal to Mr.. Cleveland. II
it should become apparent that he could not
be nominated she would then insist upon
the nomination Of one of her own sons. II
there is any considerable sentiment in any
of the western states for Gov. Hill it has
not cropped out. Ii is probable that IL it
should finally be decided to go west
for the standard-bearer Senator
Palmer would be chosen. He
Is in favor of nominating Mr.. Cleveland.
In an interview few days ago he said that
he expected to see Mr.. Cleveland nomi-
mated but that If the situation should become
SO changed that It would not be regarded as
advisable to nominate him he would then
announce himself as a candidate. The
western sentiment is undoubtedly for Mr..
Cleveland or a western man.

The trumpet of his tiny throat
From end to end and winter and despair
Fled at his melody. and passed in the air.

Can visit only once the waiting year;
The bird can bring

To waken smiles or the remembering tear!
But thou dost bring
Springtime to every day. and at thy call
The flowers Of life unfold, though leaves OF
