And publicity was his mania. He would
nave derived no enjoyment from his
wealth had he not been able to make a
great display thereof and to attract at
tention thereby. Starting in life as
laborer, he educated himself into a me-
chanic and emigrated as such to Chilli
where. by means of the development of
the nitrate trade, and by successful
speculation, he acquired fortune of
such magnitude that he has often been
cited as one of the six richest men in
the world.
Like Baron Hirsch, who died the other
day, he was exceedingly generous in
the distribution of his wealth, his char
tiles, extending, as in the case Of the
baron, not only to benevolent institu-
tons, but also to those of the aristoc-
racy, and even of royalty who were in
need of financial assistance. 1t is no
calumny to state that in this latter re-
Spect, at any rate, the munificence of
the colonel was of an interested charac-
ter, seeing that he hoped to purchase
social recognition thereby. These hopes
were never realized. and although he
was for time patronized by the Prince
of Wales and Lord Randolph Church.

has vanished and left only this relic be-

Scriptures, the famous On, which is
memorable to all Bible readers as tho
residence of the priest of On, Potiphe-
ran, whose daughter Asenath, Joseph
married. The Greeks call it Heliopolis,
the city of the sun, because there the
worship of the sun had it's chief center
and its most sacred shrine. 1t was the
seat of the most ancient university OF
the world, to which youthful students
came from all parts of the world to
learn the occult wisdom which tho
priests of On alone could teach.
Thales, Scion, Eudoxus, Pythagoras
ana Plato all studied there, perhaps Mo-
ses, too. 1t was also the birthplace OF
the sacred literature of Egypt, where
were written on papyrus leaves the
original chapters of the oldest book in
the world, generally known as The
Book of the Dead, giving a most strik-
ing account of the conflicts and triumphs
of the life after death, a whole copy or
fragment of which every Egyptian, rich
or poor, wished to have buried with
him in his coffin. and portions of which
are found inscribed on every mummy

the nitrate king, filled in the eyes of
the British people the role of Sir Gior-

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS

Some of our Republican contempo-
raries are disposed to congratulate
themselves that the Democracy is di-
Vided on the money question. 1t is true
that such a division exists, and it is on
a sharply drawn line. Democrats stand
on one side for the gold standard and
on the other for free silver coinage. The
only question for the Individual voter Is
which side he will take, and for the par
ty, as whole, which policy it will adopt
and whether it can hold it's forces to-
gether on either.
The Republicans are more split up on
the money question than the Democrats.
They do not really know where they are.
Some of them are gold monometallists;
some bimetallists by international
agreement, if possible; some are for free
coinage. and others for just letting
things drift as they are.
The latter seems to be the probable
decision of the st. Louis convention. It
is platform that appeals to neither the
judgment nor the sympathy of any sem
sible man. The present situation is
about like this: We have full legal ten
der gold and silver in approximately
equal volumes. Either is payable for
all debts and dues, public or private. The
silver dollar is worth intrinsically abou.
half the gold dollar. Only the custom
of the treasury prevents the tender OF
silver for all government indebtedness,
stantly impending threat of payment at
half value. Consequently our credit is
impaired, gold flows out of the country
and the government obtains no gold
for duties and has to resort to bond is
sues. Greenbacks and Sherman notes
are used to drain the treasury of gold,
against which it has no available de-
Tense. There is a general impairment
of confidence in our finances at home
and abroad, with a consequent tagging
of business enterprise.
This is the status which Republicanism
proposes to perpetuate by adopting the
so-called Mckinley money plank. For
all these troubles the administration
wing of the Democratic party offers q
clear cut, radical, thorough remedy.
Whether it can command the united
support of the party is yet uncertain.
This much, however, is certain. Tho
southern states in which the silver feel
ing is strong are also the states which
are the most firmly bound to Democ-
racy by political instinct and long
habitude. Those eastern and northern
states which favor sound money are
more or less doubtful politically. A
soundmoney declaration would swing
them into the Democratic column
against the financial straddle Of the Nc
Kinley plank. In short, the south In

racious reader. There is hardly a sub

dominates the table to the exclusion of
every other speaker. That is all very

Just before quitting work Friday
evening, Superintendent Atkinson of
the Census Bureau and his staf
reached sum total on the 1896 census
of the Hawaiian Islands.
That total was 100000. Superinten-
dent Atkinson states that this will be
the official figure unless it should be
necessary to make some corrections in
the district of South Kohala, on Ha-
waii, and this is very unlikely. The
first report was very carefully gone
over by the census assistants on that
island.
When the last census was taken in
1890 there were $1,000 people on t&t
group who regarded Hawaii as their
home. In six years there has been
an increase in the population of tn
islands of 1909. gain of almost
twenty-five per cent. \ very remark
able showing indeed.
While Superintendent Atkinson will
not make any estimates at present on
the increase in the number of the diff
fcrent nationalities nor on which M
tionality has had the largest increase,
it is believed that the biggest showing
will be made by the Japanese, with
the Chinese a very close second. The
Census Bureau win he able to have
an official list of the entire population
of these classes some time in the lat
ter part of January, or early part OF
February.
The exact number of Hawaiians,
