"The economic life of any people
is the product of three operative
factors: viz, Of pricate property or
capital; Of labor rendered and the
participation in the proceeds of
these productive forces"
In 1910, there were 6 millionares
in the U, S. and now we have over
$, 900 millionares Glancing at these
figures duly considering the necessi-
ties of 65 600, 900 people, we see that
5000 persons hold the capital and
1892, 900 represent the other or the
laborng class. Where is the justice
in this ? And where, Oh where is

Here are 5000 men in whose hands
are placed millions upon millions of
dollars. while there are millions Of
people suffering from hunger and
dying in want and misery. We are
all born free aud equal. We are all
human. Though our dispositions
may differ, we all have the same eth
ical postulates upon terrestrial pos
sessions. Legal rights, however,
permit men to use their wealth as II
productive factor, and no matter
how large n proportion these pro
ducts assume, the possessors eau
legally tranfer them to succeeding
generations without demandi G any
thing in return. No matter how
good or how bad, how ignorant or
how well educated these persons
may be, the most undeserving from
an ethical stand point, are legally
entitled to inh crit any amount, how
ever large.
Note the contrast between 1910
and 1896. The difference between
labor and capital is daily becoming
more alarming to the welfare of the
country and nation. The relation

REMARKABLE REVELATIONS.

We have, OF course, for years been
aware of the unscrupulous methods
adopted by the missionaries in po-
litics. We were nearly surprised
however, when a few days ago, we
saw map OF Hawaii published un-
der the auspices of Hawaiian Con-
sui and evidently used by our tan
nexation commission" in 1898.
1t is called a Typographical Map
of the Hawaiian Islands from Gov
ernment data kindly furnished by
DR., r. u. Davis, Consul OF the Ha-
waiian Islands, published by Linton
& Garrigues, 410 Walnut Street,
Philadelphia, Pa"
The Consul endorses the work Of
the Philadelphia publishers in the
following letter printed on the
map:

its accuracy, and the highly artistic

datas:
"The Hawaiian people are sup
posed to have originally come from
A9ia Minor, and migrating eastward
reached the Pacific Ocean. Warlike
incursions Of feudal tribes, during
the early centuries of the Christian
Era forced their tribes to the Paci-
iic Islands. A similarity of langu-
ages, manner and customs denote
blood relationship with the natives
of nearly all the islands of the
Northern Pacific Ocean. The Ha-
waiian Islands were discovered by
the Spauiards as early as 1885, but
not made public until the discovery
made by Captain Cook ir 177S. Ka.
laniopuu was then king and is sup
posed to have aided in killing The
noted discoverer in 1873.
"The people were classsd as
heathen of the worst type Desperate
ly wicked, and sensuality produced
no shame. Child murder common,
and human sacrifices required by
law. Cauibalism so prevalent that
mother would kill, cook and eat
her fattened baby. Supplying
drinks made by mastication and
saliva were in constant use. Vilest
passions predominated, and chiefs
practiced the most brutal and grind
ing tyranny"

peaceful Hawaiian race was circu-
lated among senators and represent
atives by Mr.. Dole's most virtuous

The shooting affray this morning
was fortunately among the soldiers.
If the guardsmen desire to shoot
each other it is their business. To
allow them to walk around thetown
visit saloons and get drunk with
their loaded guns and bayonets is
the business OF the community. In
no place in the civilized world would
such conditions be tolerated. If the
two drunken soldiers who fought
last night had taken upon then
selves to clean out a saloon or had
met some person against whom they
entertained a grievance aud used
their rifles and lives had been lost
who would have to pay the damages?
The Government which tolerates
the present system as matter OF
course.

Another point in this connection
worthy OF the Colonels attention, is
that ia the event of carefully con-
Quoted conspiracy against the Gov
ernment the conspirators would
capture these arms and ammunition
quietly before they moved step,
and to this extent disarm the Gov
ernment.

A DELAWAREAN IN TENNESSEE.
Harry L. Douglass, the Pioneer in Fruit
Culture OF That State.

The MOrristOwn CTenn.) Gazette has
the following of Harry L. Douglass,
formerly of Smyrna, and son of the
late Colonel H. G. Douglass of that
town:
Some four miles west of MOrristown
is farm of two hundred acres owned
by II. l.. Douglass, special pension ex-
amlner, who came to East Tennessee
from Delaware few years ago. Mr..
Douglass calls his country place Lock
wood, and is making model fruit
farm OF it. 1t is beautifully located,
and the land is high, rolling sandy
loan, excellently adapted to the cul-
ture of fruits of all kinds.
Mr.. Douglass has made a study of
fruit culture and, recognizing the fact
that he had tract of land just suited
to that, and believing that East Ten
nessee can produce as fine fruits as anv
other section of the surface of the
earth, he determined to try what could
be done at Lockwood, making a speci-
atty OF nuts. So i'll the fall of 1894. he
planted IN pecans, fifteen acres; En-
gllsh walnuts, ten acres; sOft-shell al
mOnds, one acre; peaches, twenty
acres; apples, twenty acres; pears, five
acres; ounces, one acre; asparagus,
three acres; and goOseberries one acre.
All his trees and plants were carefully
selected from the leading nurseries of
the country, were carefully planted
and have been carefully cultivated
since. All the trees are thriving and
there are almonds on the almond trees
this year. His asparagus beds are in
tirst-class condition, and next year he
will be able to place upon the market
the finest asparagus that can be pro-
duced.
''He has also decided to turn his at
tentiOn to the cultivation of small fruit.
and this year he will put three acres in
strawberries, having one acre in goose
berries. He is having many improve
ments made on his farm, and will in
few years have a most beautiful and
pleasant country home. He has cree
ted upon the farm, a Windmill for the
purpose of pumping water, and will in
a short time have a telephone connec-
tiOn between the farm and the CITY.
This enterprise is something new here
in the East Tennessee, and no one will
fail to wish Mr.. Douglass the greatest
success in his undertaking."

BISHOP COKE.

There will be Widespread regret in
the Episcopal Church over the death
OF Bishop Arthur Cleveland Coke, of
the Diocese of Western New York.
As poet, he produced some creditable
verse; as preacher, he took a high
rank in his church; as an administra-
tor of his diocese, he showed himself
to be an aggressive and vigorous ruler;
as patriotic scholar, he took high
rank in this country and Europe, and
he became prominent as the friend and
advocate of the Gallican movement in
France. But he will be remembered
chiefly as a controversialist. He be-
lieved the Protestant Episcopal Church
to be the only divinely authorized
Church in this country. The other
Protestant bodies he regarded as
''sects, though he always referred to
them in terms of kindness. But his
intense dislike of Roman Catholicism
was, perhaps, his most marked char
acteristic. He spoke and wrote against
it whenever he had an opportunity.
Some years ago he wrote number of
letters to the Pope, calling upon him
to give up his errors and become true
Catholic, and about a year ago he
wrote a number of bitter letters to
Cardinal SatOlli. He regarded Roman
Catholicism as an unlawful intruder in
this country, and, therefore, usually
referred to it as ''The italian Mission"
This was his hobby, and many people
thought he rode it too often. But
there was never any question of his
sincerity of purpose, while his charm
of manner, as well as his wide culture,
made him friends wherever he was
known. No Episcopalian of the pres
ent generation more completely typi-
fed the famous ''via media of Episco-
palianism, holding itself aloof, on high
conscientious grounds, from Protest
antism on the one side and Romanism
on the other.-A. Y. Tribune.
