Laws that are thus the transcript
of the minds of the prejudiced or the

into acceptance with the unpreju-

Obeyed, because the refined and cul-
tured are not inclined to make them
selves conspicuous by their disobe-
dience, but the laws will not be re-
spected. When laws are no longer
respected by the best elements of
society, they will soon be openly dis
obeyed by those who have no person

lawlessness will follow There is

This country since the pilgrims
crossed the sea has been cursed by
the puritan idea, that it was the
province of the state to legislate for
the morals of the people. Morals
are personal. The state has no con-

as that person does not interfere with
the freedom or the righs of another.
This fundamental law has been dis

No one can continually read the ac-
counts of lawlesness, so generally
prevailing in all its forms and so per-
ceptibly ON the increase, without Sc
riously thinking of what the harvest
must eventually pan out. There Is
not a doubt that this condition arises
from the general contempt into
which all laws have fallen, because
the one law has been regarded in
making these declarations. The in
equality of law is notorious. The in
Justice of courts of trial is proverbi-
al Every day the general sense is
outraged by this inequality. The one
law for the poor and the rich leads
to an entirely different result when
both are placed on trial, the poor is
punished and the rich buys his way
out of the hands of Justice, not with
a bride in the common acceptance of
that term, but in those arts for which
lawyers are famous and by which
they live.
SO long as the poor are punished
and the rich are acquitted, sOlong as
the poor pay the expenses of govern
ment and he rich evade their taxes,
so long as the granaries of the world
are heaped to overlooking and the
poor industrious have no bread in
their homes, so long as the burdens
of the earth are borne by the poor
and its benefits reaped by the rich,
so long as distinctions multiply and
the distance between poverty and
riches grows more infinie, so long as
the poor find avenues of preferment
closed to them that are open to the
rich, so long as laws, class made for
class government and not law gov
ern this country so long will our pres
ent evils continue and grow nightly
until the hand of destruction will
seize us all.

amount to more than $S,OO0,OOO. 1t is
now thirty years since Mr.. Moffat en-
tered the bank as cashier, and today,
venture, he considers himself more
of a banker than a miner. He began
his business career in a bank. He was
fifteen years old at the time, and
started life as a messenger boy in the
New York Exchange bank of New
York. A year later he went to Iowa
to act as a bank clerk in Des Moines,
and at twenty he was cashier OF the
Bank of Nebraska, at Omaha. This
was Just about the time Of the Pixies
Peak gold fever, and Dave Moffat got
a wagon and a mule and came out here
to find his fortune. Denver was then
too small for bankers, and Moffat
started a book and stationery store,
selling as an old miner told me the
other day, an envei0p, a sheet of paper
and a stamp for a nickel. A few years
later the First National bank was
founded, and Moffat was made its
cashier. He soon became president
and it is through him that the bust
ness of the bank has so increased that
1t now amounts to more than nine
millions a year.

passed through a crowd of business
men who were engaged at the windows
of the bank proper, and asked a po-
liceman in uniform standing by the
teller's desk where 1 might find Mr.
Moffat. He pointed to a sort of cubby
hole at the back of the building, and
told me to go right in. There was no
red tape, no messenger nor watch
dog about the office of the millionaire
knocked at the door, entered and pre-
sented a letter of introduction, which
1 had from Senator Teller, to tall,
well-formed man of about fifty years Of
age, who sat at the desk within. He
looked more like New York club man
than Western mine owner, and
could hardly associate his clear, rosy
complexion. his bright eye and his I'M
wrinkled face with that of one of the
hardest workers and shrewdest cap
italists in the West. 1t was, however,
David H. Moffat. He asked me to be
seated, and chatted with me for an
hour about gold and silver and the
wonderful mining development which
is going on throughout the west.
Dave Moffat knows perhaps as much
about mines as any man in the West.
He is a miner, not in the sense of be-
the mines and working them. He is a
mine owner rather than a mine digger.
He has the shrewdest Of experts con-

OOLORAOO'S MINING KING.
David II. Moffat, Famous Mining Millionaire.

Copyrighted, 1896, by Frank G.. Carpenter.)
DENVER, Col, July SOL have had
an interview with the mining king of
the United States. His name is David
H. Moffat. He is said to be worth
twenty millions of dollars. He has
made fortunes out of gold and silver
mining, and he has today some Of the
most valuable properties of the west.
He sold a gold mine last month to
parties in France which netted himself
and his partners a cold million in cash.
His silver mines at Leadville have miles
of UNDERGROUND tunnels, and he is the
largest owner of stock in the big cya-
hide mill at Florence, which turns out
for him every month a gold brick worth
$4,000. He is developing valuable
mines today in different parts of Col
orado and among his great works at
Cripple Creek is an immense tunnel,
which he is forcing through a noun
tain, in which vast quantities of gold
are supposed to lie. Mr.. Moffat was
for years president Of the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad. He built the Den
yer Pacific from Cheyenne to Denver.
He now practically owns the Florence
& Cripple Greek road which does an
enormous business, and he is also the
president Of one of the biggest banks
of the west. This is the First Nation
al bank of Denver, which has a capital
of only 100000, but whose deposits

dreaded socialists. Policemen in citi-
zenS' clothes are sent to all places of
public resort freQuented by malcon-
tents and the lower classes generally
They are allowed certain sum to pay
for drinks and food, and all they have
to do is to keep their ears and eyes
open and to make arrests for socialistic
utterances. A new police order pro-
vides for the arrest Of persons who
after II o'clock at night play the pi-
ano or sing with open windows. This
regulation is now in force in the sub
urbs, and If found applicable it will be
introduced in the capital.
The emperor will hold this fall the
grandest naval maneuvers yet es-
sayed by the German navy The fleet
will consist of f1fty-three ships, inclu-
sive of twenty-four torpedo boats. Ad-

pedo school ship Butcher as his flag
ship.
Letters received here from WilheIms-
hohe report the empress and her chill
dren to be in the best Of health. Her
majesty takes exercise on horseback
every morning, accompanied by her
eldest son, and toward evening the
whole family drives out in two car
riages. The mother and the eldest
princes later sup almost publicly on
the terrace Of the castle, the partici-
pants serving themselves after the
servants have placed the dishes on the
table. No members of the imperial suite
are ever invited to these quiet sup
pers. The moon often permits the en-
press and her children to play lawn
tennis until 10 or IL o'clock at night.
Since Prince Won Hohenlohe left the
vice-regaI palace of Strasburg disquiet-
ing rumors have been circulating con-
corning the administration of justice.
1t is alleged that the government, in
order to win over the aristocracy, IA
vors scions of noble families in every
way possible. Thus, it Is reported that
the young Baron Florent Charpentier,
son of the deputy of that name, after
failing to pass his examination at the
university of Strasburg, was declared
a graduate by special decree of the sec
rotary of state of the reichsland. It is
also reported that the circuit president
of Upper Alsace permits the great in
dustrials in his district illegal liberties,
to the detriment of the poorer classes
of workingmen.
DON'T WANT AMERICAN SALT
HORSE.
A long and costly inquiry upon the
part of the chancellory has proved
that America does not send salt horse
flesh here to any extent, and conse-
quently the empires horse flesh in
dustry Is not menaced. In spite Of the
official denial, however, the agrarian
papers continue to attack the United
States for the alleged endeavor to
foist salt horse upon Germany, claim
ing that salt horse drummers frequent
ly visit the cities of the Rhine, besides
Hamburg and Stettin.
Emperor William is preparing Castle
Bellevue, which is beautifully situated

statistics show that the earnings Of
the Prussian state railways increased
lO,OO0000 marks during the first quarter
of 1896, as compared with the same
period Of 1895. The increase in the pas

increase in the freight traffic was ten

Some months ago, the MiIitar-
Wochenblatt, always considered an Off
cial organ, astonished the reichstag by
following its discussion against duell-
Ing with an article upholding duels.
Later the minister for war. Baron
Bronsart Won Schellendorf, disclaimed
responsibility for the utterances of the
periodical referred to, but the latest
number Of the Militar- Wochenblatt
again contains two articles in favor of
duelling in the army, declaring that
without 1t. the army would degenerate.
This article has caused a great deal OF
stir as 1t is said in army circles that
the emperor himself is in favor Of
duelling and that the paper therefore.
can disregard the wishes of the war
office. His majesty's frequent pardon
ing of duellists certainly gives color to
this opinion. 1t is expected that the
matter will be again ventilated in the
reichstag.
