Vast Fortunes.

By calculation made a year OF two
ago by m American statistician, saws
Chambors's Journal, it seems that
seventy citizens of tho United States
possessed among them an aggregate
wealth of 50, ZOO, 900, 900. That gives
an average of about S37, 500, 900 apiece.
To como to particulars: There was
ono cstatc-we refrain here from
mentioning ames-returnod as worth
no less than $3.50, 100000. There
wcro five individuals valued Mt $780,
600, 600; ono valued Mt $40, 200, 900;
two valued Mt $50, 00o, 000; six valued
Mt $50, 900, 900; six valued atsl), O00,-
600; four valued at $35, 900, 900; thir-
teen valued at $50, 900, 600; ten valued
at $25, 100000; four valued Mt S22,-
500, 900, and fifteen Mt $40, 900, O0O.
Tho brain reels before such figures.
They express measures of wealth
which the ordinary mortal is power
less to grasp. Besides these seventy
colossal fortunes there are fifty other
persons i'll tho Northern States alone
valued at over $4,000, 900 esch,
thirty of them being valued in all nj
$3.50, 100000. There were, some little
time ago, published lists of sixty three
millionaires in Pennsylvania pos
sessing in tho aggregate $500, O0o,-
600, and of sixty persons in throo
villages near Nav York whose wealth
aggregated $500, O00,0 In Boston
fifty families pay taxes on annual iu-
comes of about 81, 900, 600 each.
We have nothing to compare with
such individual cases of wealth in
Great Britain. Baron RothschiId and
Lord Oyerstono each left about ST.
500, 900; the late Lord Dudley left
$40, 900. 900; the lato Duke of Buc-
cleuch, estimated to be tho richest
Scotchman, left estates valued at $780,
600, 1000. One living English Duke is
valued ut $50, 900, 00D, aud another at
$40, 900, 900; but not many names
could be added to these to place
against the above list of American
fortunes. In 1884 there wcrc only
104 persons in tho United Kingdom
whose incomes from business profits
were returned MS over $3.50, OO5 a
year. In 1886 there were only seven
teen estates which paid probate duty
on about 81 $50, 900 each.

The Extinction of Var.

We have little more hope of the ex-
tinction of war, or of tho burden now
so tcrrlble-of military preparation.
1t liz as certain that nations wi
quarrel as TINT individuals will; it is
most improbable TINT when the
quarrel is vital they will submit to
arbitration, and when tho quarrel has
once attained that height, there is no
substitute for war oven conceivable
by the mind. War might be stopped
IN tho rest OF tho world by the five
European powers agreeing to give
Judgment in every case of dispute and
to enforce that Judgment collectively.
But oven TINT nearly impracticablo
system-impracticable because the
supreme tribunal could hardly punish
either the United States or China. if
either chose to resist to tho death
would be powerless to avert war if the
i've powers quarreled, ms they are now
doing, among themselves.
Nor are we sure that if war could
be prevented, the long years of bicker.
ing, boycotting and brutality, such as
have for twenty-thrcc years divided
Germany and France, would be so
acceptable substitute, or would tend
IN any solid way to make mankind
either happier or more noble. 1t is
lar easier to reduce war to minimum
than to extinguish it, and there is fair
reason to hope that this is being done.
The progress of military science, and.
indeed, of NIL science, has shortened
wars, has arrested the old pillage of
provinces, and has rendered tho
coercion, which means the oppression,
OF peaceful citizens much less necey.

Ways OF Professional Forgcrs.

a band of professional forgcrs be-
fore starting out always agree on n
bnsls of division of all moneys oh.
tnined on their forgery paper, writes
Robert Pinkerton, the famous letec.
tive, in the North American Review.
This division might DO about as fol.
lows: For presenter, where tho
amount to be drawn does not exceed
$4,000, fifteen to twenty-five per cent. !;
but where the amount to be drawn is
from $4,000 to $4,000, and upward, the
..'presentcr" receives from thirty-fvo
to forty-fivc per cent. Tho price is
raised as tho risk increases, and it Is
generally considered greater risk to
attempt to pass check or draft of n
largo denomination than smaller
one. Tho middleman gets from fif-
teen to twenty-five per cent. His
work is more and his responsibility is
greater, but tho risk is less. There
nre plenty of middlemen to be had,
but tho "prescnters" arc scarce. Tho
shadow" when ono accompanies the
band, is sometimes paid salary by
the middleman and his expenses, but
ut other times he is allowed small
percentage, not to exceed five per
cent, and his expenses, rs with or
binary care his risk is very slight.
The bAcker and forger get the bal
ance, which usually amounts to from
fifty to sixty per cent Tho expenses
that have been advanced the men who
