know the strength and breadth of the
ruler whom Bismarck next appeared to
represent. In his successor the Ger
mans have an Emperor who has not
only abundant physical energy and en-
durance, but has with it Il contempt
for humbug, socialism, and the crooked
police methods that always suggest u
feeble or rotten executive. He is Il
practical manager and does not pretend
to be a savior of society. lie has
no quacll nostrum for poverty, crime,
prostitution, or the discomfort that sets
class against class. His business is to
sec that the government machine runs
smoothly, that competent men are en-
ployed, that the peoples taxes are
spent for the public good, thut the law
is administered without favor, and
that reforms are inquired into. lie

8 On his succession to power, 1858, he
did what most intelligent young men
do when suddenly placed in charge of
an estate. He inquired how the IRE
vious manager had done his work; he
examined personally into eases of al

testimony of qualified observers; his
eyes were opened to the need of reform
in many directions; he suggested these
reforms to his manager; the manager

CARNEGIE SAYS DON'T.
The Almighty Dollar Bequeathed to
Children Is an Almighty Curse.

Children Is an Almighty Curse.
Andrew Carnegie the millionaire
iron manufacturer, is as fond of politi-
| cal economy us of music, coaching and
other pleasures of life, and he preached
u sermon the other Sunday evening
in Filth avenue church in New York
upon "rhe Gospel of Wealth." In
speaking of the proper use of wealth
he said: "Great wealth has hitherto
generally been held by its possessors
and distributed after death. 1t has
chiefly gone by two modes. First, to
the family. Men have toiled, even de-
| MED Their selves the comforts of life that
their children might inherit fortunes.
This is the worst use to which wealth
can be put. Such requests are usually
made with less thought of the good of
the child than the vanity of the parent;
or, when made from affection, for it is
clear that wealth bestowed upon child
rem is generally Il curse and not bless
ing. There are exceptions to all rules,
but not more exceptions, we think, to
this rule than TO rules generally, that
the almighty dollar bequethed to
CAiiurcu Is un almighty curse NO
man has q right to handicap his son
with such burden rs great wealth.
1t is no proper use of wealth, then, we
hold, to bequeth it in great amounts to
children. The second mode OF disposal
is bequething it to charitable and pub
lie institutions, which, no doubt, is q
much better use of wealth than the
first. But no credit can be given
those who hoard their millions during
life, and only release their hold at the
summons which cannot be denied.
There is no grace in the gift; there is
no gift. What one cannot keep cannot
be given. From the failures which at
tend this mode Of distribution we may
well assume that Providence regards it
with no kindly eye. Most of these
legacies fail to effect, or even reach. the
desired end. They are wasted, as
rule, in pitiful litigation or squandered
by cliques. The gospel of wealth is
comprised in few words. Surplus
wealth is a sacred trust which it's pos
SCISSOR is bound to administer in his
lifetime for the good of the community
from which it was derived"

Arizona Mining.

A review of the mining situation of Arizona reveals more actual de- velopment and output than for many years. While the low price of silver has put quietus on low grade propositions, those of high grade are steadily worked and with profit. During the suspense in the settlement of the silver question, prospectors and mining men have devoted more or less attention to other minerals. Gold, copper md onyx have thus received au impetus, felt in diverse channels of trade.

Mohave county, by virtue of it's recent discovery of silver wealth, is receiving the benefit of inquiry and prospecting. Some of it's mines have been paying properties Tor years.
 Scores of good mines and even districts, which for lack of space are unmentioned, are sending forth their quota of wealth from the above named counties. New stage routes, continued prospecting and the natural growth of the ter ritory are making these points bet ter known abroad and demonstra- ting that the resources of the ter ritory are hardly apprehended, much less comprehended.
 In Coconino and Apache counties, heretofore devoted mainly to stock growing, prospecting is being car ried forward by experienced men. who in addition to discoveries of gold and silver, are uncovering treas ures of onyx, Autograph stone, as- bestos and other materials needed by commerce.
 Taken altogether, Arizona is in a healthy condition in a mining way.
