STARTLING FIGURES.
THE WORLD OWNED BY A FEW
PEOPLE.
wonderful Concentration of Wealth Easy
to See why Europe Is on the Single
Gold Standard.
From the Augusta Chronicle.

Gold Standard.
From the Augusta Chronicle.
Our contemporary, the Portland, Ore
gou, Sun, publishes some interesting
statistics showing the concentration of
wealth fin Great Britain, and demon
strating why the demand for bimetalhsm
from the agricultural classes across the
water is so comparatively small. The
Sun first notes the fact that while the
United States produced six bundled
million bushels of wheat, Great Britain
produced only seventy-one million bush
els. and while we produced thirty-three
million bushels of rye Great Britain
propuced none. These figures are for
1898, and their purpose is Ito show the
comparatively insignificant part that
agriculture plays over there, and espe-
cia}ly numerically in the matter ofsland-
owners. The contrast is continued as
follows:
In 1880 there were in this country
6.564 ,641 farms containing 623, 21S,6l9
acres. and the estimated value of their
products in 1889 was 50. AGO, 107, asa.
About $500 men own half of the 81,
100000 acres in England ard Wales.
One-sixta of the inclosed land is owned
by $50 persons. Sixty-six people own
one eighteenth part or 100000 acres,
One man owns 1856, 397 acres. OF Ireland 5
10000, 900 acres, 292 people own one
third. One half is owned by 744 people.
Three persons own more than 100000
acres each In Scotland the figures are
more startling. The total acreage is
10000 900. One owner has 1926, 900
acres, and there are five owners with
more than 100000 acres each. Twelve
men own One-quarter of all Scotland
Nine-tenths of the whole country belongs
to fewer than 1,700 people. One man
owns an entire county extending across
Scotland. One land owner few years
ago appropriated 300 square miles of
land 70 Ia deer forest, evicting many
families to make room for the deer.
Two-thirds of England and Wales are
owned by 10,207 person, twO-thirds of
Ireland by 1912 persons, two-thirds of
Scotland by $50 persons, two-thirds of
the entire United Kingdom by 12,479
persons. Contrast the United King
dom's 2,479 landholders to the 4, 564 ,641
farm holders of the United States.
With these figures before them our
pc )ple can understand the greater sway
of the money power in Great Britain,
and comparatively smaller voice of the
agricultural interest in shaping legisla.
ton. They can understand why the
bimetallist sentiment in Great Britain
finds so little voice and why there is no
great uprising among the agriculturists
of that country as there has been in this.
The lands are owned by handful whose
interests are those of the money class
and they dominate the views of the
people who till the lands, or at any rate
influence their silence. Readers of Mrs.
Humphrey Wards Marcella have
pretty fair insight into the way tenants
on farms in England are dominated by
the political views of the landowner.

THE STORY OF AN ADVENTURE
WHO Now Lies in the Little Jail at Santa
Fe, New Mexico.

e.
James Addison Reavis, who now lies
in the little Jail Of Santa Fe, n. NJ, de-
serves a place among the leading frauds
of he century.
This man has been a soldier, newspa-
per reporer street ear driver and adj
venturer. Moe than twenty-five wears
70 he claims that he found in Califor-
MIA mission a girl who was the heireSs
OF one Peralta. a Spanish grandee who
hau been granted by his king immense
tracts of land in Arizona.
| Reavis married the girl and went to
work to have her claim legalized by the
government. He found records, wills,
grants and various papers in Spain and
Mexico confirming the grant, and Roscoe
Conkling pronounced his chain of evil
dence a perfect title, and with Ingersoll
and Others took hold of his case. Fail
ing to have his grant confirmed by con-
gress, the claimant Secureds the passage
of law establishing the court of private
land claims, anG in this court lie met
! his fate.
Had Reavis succeeded he would have
secured SIS 100000 worth of mining
lands. This plain street car driver learned
Spanish in order to carry out his scheme,
and he moreover became an expert in
old Spanish and in signets, seals, decora-
lions and orders. Many years ago he
went to New York where he obtained
large sums of money to aid in the prose-
ontion of his suit. He got $4,000 from
Croker, of the Southern Pacific, and
$150,000 in New York. In five years he
ran up board bill of $4,000 at the
Hoffman house. He victimized Ed
Stokes, his cousin, W. E. D. Stokes, and
many others. No man evey told more
plausible tale aud his documents were
apparently unanswerable.
But the other side engaged able law
yers and made stubborn fight. The
case dragged along for twenty-five years.
Reavs lived in luxury most of the time,
and it was not until a year aud a half
ago that his lawyers suspected him.
Finally they dropped him, and the claim.
ant had to go to trial without counsel a
few days.ago. 1t was proved that his
grants and Wills were fogeries, that Per-
alta never existed, and that the whole
thing was fraud. The claimant, now a
broken old man, was positive and defiant
to the last, butithe evidence against him
was so conclusive that his arrest follow
| ed as matter of course.
Reavis is described as a very plain
man of almost ohildlike candor and
simplicity. His wife is Oright-eyed,
dark faced woman, apparently of the
Spanish type, but some people think that
she is an Indian. Her husband claims
that he accidently discovered her rela-
tionship to the Peraltas. The TWO will
now have to face disgrace and poverty,
but they have enjoyed life for full
quarter of a century at the expense of
others.

Hochstadter,s Disappearance.

ST. PAUL, Jan. As is learned by
inquiry that Charles Hochstadter, for
mcrly manager of the United States
Clothing company, which recently
failed here, left his personal affairs in
this city in exemplary condition, there
being no accounts unpaid so far as can
be learned. There is much conjecture
as to why he disappeared so suddenly,
and his friends suppose that his object
was to prevent his nrivate fortune
from becoming involved in the settle
ment of the affairs c. the firm. whose
assets it is thought, viii exceed the
liabilities.

1dry's Position Before the Law Not Very

ST. PAUL, Jan. 2.-Adry Hayward's
position before the law is not very we'll
Defined but he is certainly not being
held Oh the theory that he is a Grim
inal, for he goes about very much as he
likes The fact that he only goes abroad
guarded has nothing to do with the
other fact that he is allowed a good
deal of liberty, and it begins to be clear
shat he is in durance at his own re-
quest rather than because the
authorities want to keep him. He
had his Sunday dinneNwith his family
at his own home in Minneapolis and
came back to his quarters in the st.
Paul Jail afterwards. He is now oc.
cnpying his old cell and seems not to
nina his situation.

rutfled front and talks with everyone
that comes within range of his voice
