The YoseoSpo,ssss control Amos:
the entire output Of turquoise in the
world, and in addition to this incidental
source of revenue have numerous other
ways of getting living. principally from
mines, lands and governmental privileges.
The late Duke Albert of Russia owned
whole lot of the White Cars empire, and
almost 80 per cent of the great manu-
featuring establishments of Austria; in
addition he had mining property beyond
estimate. He left in ready cash $780, 600,
600. 1t might have been dangerous to
carry so much with him to his future
also. He is rated at $500, 900, 900 to $780,,
900, 000 and the income from this invest
ment is nearly $40. 0o0.0 900 per annum.
Some of his estates include tracts of ter
ritory as large as New York, with all
sorts OF mines and forests. The Duke of
Cum erland measures his family plate,
ton; and once when he went to England
to stay a while he transported fourteen
tons for only temporary use. The Duke
of Westminster draws down about $780,
600 per year. and lies awake nights de-
vising schemes to keep from being turned
out into. the world-broke. There are
can raise his limit. khedive Ismail of
Egypt was known to have at one time
over 800. 900, 600 worth of specie and
precious stones in addition to large sums
of money in European banks, and lands
that he atterward sold for Sl5 600, 600. In
the interior of India and China the ac-
cumulations of wealth and landed possess
sions of some individuals would swamp
several Goulds.
OF course. these inconceivable fortunes
represent the gatherings of centuries and
stand as the results OF the robbery of mil
lions of Gods children. In none of these
cases specified or referred to are they the
products of the exertions of the posses
sors or the latter's ancestry. They nearly
all consist of or originated in vast landed
holdings. They began with the bestowal
by monarchs of enormous tracts of pro-
ductive land. great forests and wonderful
mines, upon those who won the friend
ship or'compelled the fear OF the divine
rulers.
1t is plainly evident that with all our
greatness we cannot yet rival the extremes
of wealth and poverty that make life so
interesting to the kings and the nihilists
OF the Old World.

Dick Clark, who has just returned from
Eugene Camp, says that he never saw
better opening for a bonanza camp than
at that place. The mines are rich and
show good bodies of ore.
George N. Conrad and ]. H. Wilson
came in from the Grand Canyon copper
mine yesterday. Mr.. Conrad went out to
Mud Springs this morning and will re-
turn to attend court Monday.
Hon. w. H. Lake says he saw more ore
on his trip to White Hills and Eugene
Camp than he ever before set eyes on in
Mohave county. The bonanzas are turn
ing out their treasures with lavish hand.
The next shipment of ore from the Buck
eye mine will be one of the richest ever
taken from that property. The ore now
being taken out will run over 1000 ounces
in silver and four ounces in gold.
Larsen, Kennedy & Co. of White Hills
continue taking the richest of silver ore
from their Norma lease. A shipment of
ninety-six sacks came into the kingman
sampler Thursday and more will follow.

FREEDOM OF WORSHIP
Greater Freedom Desired for Protestants in
Turkey

WASH INGTON, April 19.--In the for
eign correspondence OF the state depart
ment for the last year. it appca that
Secretary Gresham in answer to United
States Minister Terrell at Constantinoplc
upon the subject of the request of the
British ambassador to secure the co-ope-
ration of the United States minister to
obtain greater freedom of worship for
Protes tants in Turkey refers to the differ
ence between the treaty of Berlin. where
in Great Britain has conventional right
of intercede for larger religious tolerance
while the treaty rights of the United
States are limited to the interests of its
own citizens. The secretary says that by
discreetly advancing the rights of natives
of the Ottoman empire who become in
terested with American citizens as teach.
ers and pastors, the purpose which the
British ambasS ldor- seeks to attain may
be forwarded.
Last December the president sent con-
gress what information he had on the
subject Of alleged crllelties committed on
Armenians in Turkey. Since then some
further correspondence relative to the
restrictions imposed on Jews with United
States passports who are not allowed to
Iemain in Jerusalem more than ninety
days. Said Paslia gave to Mr.. Terrell the
following reason for the restrictions:
I'VE believe Jesus Christ WAS a great
prophet. and ii the Jews get controlof
Jerusalem they will steal Il . sepulchre of
Christ and destroy everything that can
remind people of Him.
Mr. Terrell says this featu of the in
terview was unexpected. He informed
the nasha that he might protect against
such action in the future. Mr.. Gresham.
i1timated that the United States will
only give protection to A american Jews
where they arc subjected to unwarranted
int difference.

SOME MODERATELY wELL-oFF PEOPLE

The continual discussion of the for
tunes credited to the conspicuously
wealthy people of the United States has
unconsciously led to the belief on the
part of the major portion of our popula
ton that this country confines within
its limits the greatest fortune possessors
of the world. We talk so INCREASINGLY
about the gold and silver bugs we have
that those elsewhere are neglected, and
almost unknown quantities to US. In
fact the mass of Americans are nearly as
ignorant Of the riches abroad as the bulk
of Europeans are of the civilization west
of New York City, and then the wish be-
ing father t. the thought has good deal
to do with the proposition. Although
the greater proportion of people are con-
stantlv casting animadversions upon the
extraordinarily rich of the Union, and
never tire in their envy of the latter
class, the makeup of human nature is
such that these people away down in
their hearts nurse with sort of pride

that is in the country they live in are
located the richest individuals and fami-
lies. Even the poorer people seem to
feel a proprietary interest in them. when
as matter OF fact any interest OF that kind
that may exist is vested the other way.
Men who are renters will frequently ex-

Gently with all the wealth of the ''other
fellow" added in, these persons OF hum
bier circumstances will submit the returns
to An outsider or foreigner, and point
with pride to the vast aggregate of the
communitys or states wealth, as the
case might be, and how much per capita
it all means. 1t may be that this element
in people composition is responsible for
the jealousy guarded conviction that
Uncle Sam has the richest relatives. but
an article contributed by Marquise de
Fontenoy in the Chicago Record, dissi-
pates the illusion. The Marquise shows
that the American multi millionaire is
insignificant beside the arch millionaire
of Europe.

THE DIM OUTLINE OF A REPUBLIC

And now comes another tale of torture
by the oligarchy of Adventures in the
Hawaiian Islands, who are running
travesty on republicanism that ex SITS by
and with the consent of the governing
instead OF the governed. Frederick Har-
rison. an Englis Imam, long resident of
the isl ands. in communication to the
press, according to the Herald's dis
using methods characteristic of the
dark ages, for the extortion of con-
fessions from persons supposed to
be guilty of the same crime the
accusers had shortly before commit
ted-treas on. 1t may be that some of the
stories of barbarism told of the self-con-
stituted government are exaggerated, but
day by day the evidence accumulates that
shows methods are in vogue at Honolulu
that are not exactly in harmony with the
Christian professions of the missionary
brand of republicanism. Where there is
SO much smoke there is very likely good
deal of fire. Governments that originate
in force and intri CUES are prone to rely
on equally reprehensible instrumental
ties for maintenance. The course of
events in the paradise of the Pacific in
the-iast two years has yindicated the
policy of President Cleveland and con-
trmed the conclusions drawn by those
who Investigated in behalf of this govern
ment, the circumstances attending the
overthrow of the native dynasty.

as though he could bite branch in twain

and went out on the gallery where the

Just now the German Reichstag is dis.
cussing proposition to call an inter
national monetary conference with a
view of monetiZing silver. The leader
III this movement is Count Won Merbach
who heads the Agrarian element in Ger
many and who insists that the only solu-
ton lies in an international agreement
fixing the ratio Of coin metals. In Fri
days debate in the Reichstag the ten
dency was decidedly bi-metaIlic, Count
Herbert Bismarck arguing in favor of a
worlds conference. while even Chancellor
Hohenlohe intimated there was govern
mental willingness to confer with other
powers as to the ACCESSIBILITY of reform
ing the monetary system. When the Ger
man chancellor says without prejudice
to the German currency system, it must
be admitted that, from the economic
point of view the increasing difference
of value between gold and silver threatens
permanently detrimental effect", it is
evident that there is rapidly growing
belief that greater use for silver must
be found in the worlds currency.
