Hard Times In Louisiana,

Along with the shooting of black
laborers by white in New Orleans,
simply as means to crowd them out
of the labor market, come the resolu-
tons adopted at large and enthusias-
tic meeting of planters of the State, at
the State Capitol at Baton Rouge,
asking that all collections of taxes in
the State of Louisiana be suspended
until the times improve, that the State
reduce all salaries to correspond with
the shrinkage of values, and that State
bonds be issued la Cleveland, and
the State run on credit for awhile.
The meeting declared that the shrink
age in values of property makes it i'm
possible to pay taxes.
The State of Louisiana in Novem-
Der, 1892, however, voted for this
shrinkage with great unanimity. 1t
expected the shrinkage would be felt
chiefly among Northern mills, factories
and furnaces, and it said, "Let tie

moonlight committees, patrolled certain

Northern States against the shrinkage

rily few of the people of Louisiana
have seen all the shrinkage they want.

4The past week has developed three
foreign complications: The killing of
several Italians by Colorado mob, the
shooting of an Englishman by strikers
at New Orleans and the firing upon
an American merchant vessel by a
Spanish gunboat off the coast of Cuba.
These are now being considered, diplo-
matlcally, by the respective govern
ments. The outcome will probably be
that the United States will have to
pay an indemnity to the families of the
murdered Italians and that Spain will
apologize for the action of the COM
mander of the gunboat in firing upon
the Alianca. Secretary Gresham has
peremptorily demanded of Spain an
apology and that she issue to her COM
manders in Cuban waters instructions
that will forbid like occurrence. To
this latter she has already signifed as
sent, holding the apology in allegiance
until full report is received from her
officers.
Right upon the heels of this comes a
dissolution of the Spanish cabinet and a
reported rebel victory in Cuba. So
altogether just now Spain seems to be
running in hard lines.

SHORT-LlvED FORTUNES.
How the Millions of the Cresus- Like
Bonanza Kings Have Dwiud1ed.

While the accumulation of wealth in
the hands of a few is an evil that should
be vigorously combated, there are not
lacking indications that 1t contains
within itself the seeds of Its own de-
struction. Families like the Astors
that fasten themselves like abelones on
q single spot and suck out the resources
OF q community from generation to
generation, are happily rare, and the
conditions that permit them to subsist
may be easily altered by legislation.
The difficulty Of maintaining great ag-
gregations of capital intact under or
dinary circumstances has been strik-
Ing Illustrated in San Francisco.
A few years ago, among many large
nccumulations of wealth In this town,
eight stupendous fortunes stood con-
spicuously pre-eminent-the four rail-
road fortunes of Stanford, Hunting
ton, Croker and Hopkins, and the four
bonanza fortunes of Flood, O'Brien,
Mackay and Fair The widest ideas
prevailed concerning the size of these
loards. Stanford and Huntington were
commonly supposed to be worth at
least S100,O0O,000 apiece. At one time
Mackay was called the richest man In
the world. and his wealth was figured
as high as SG00,000,000 This estimate
was based on the reasonable idea of
taking the dividends on his mining stocks
as the interest on capital sufficient to
produce such returns at ordinary rates,
and perhaps allowing for n geometrlcal
Increase on the previously observed
scale.
OF these huge fortunes only that of
Huntington remains undiminished in
the original hands. Mackay Is living,
but his wealth, actual and reputed, has
shrunk until he sometimes finds II
hard to lay hands at short notice on
S3,000,000 or s4O0O,0OO In ready cash.
The Stanford estate has been generous
ly dedicated to public uses. The
Crocker estate has to support several
families and several expensive estab.
lishments. The Hopkins estate is prob
ably smaller now than when Mark
Hopkins died. Flood and O'Brien saw
their wealth diminish to ordinary pro-
portions before their death, and their
heirs are not conspicuous now among
the multlmilllonaires. The shrewdest
and hardest of the bonanza kings has
just died, and his wealth will be d.
vided into several parts In any case,
and may be all swallowed up by the
legal talent that has displayed such alb
sorbent ability in the Jessup and
Blythe cases.
On the whole. the American atmos-
phere, favorable as 1t is to the accumu-
lation Of vast fortunes, does not appear
particularly to promote their perpet-
uity.-San Francisco Examiner.

One that is very pretty has q gorgette
of yellow satin folded softly and
