lions from becoming incxtricably mixed.
We notice that a list of wealthy men pub
lished by an exchange calls Jay Gould
worth $50, 600 COO If this is so it will be
reassuring to milionaires who have been

Some Of the members of the government
at Washington are said to fear the approach
of the Commonweal Army and the issues
that may arise, but it should not be forgot
ten that the government owes no man a

The strike Of United Mine workers Simply
