One Of the richest men in the world,
Col. J. T. North, aged SO, died sud
denly last week Tuesday in London.
At the age of IA he could neither read
nor write. He went to Chile as
common sailor when the nitrate fields
of Peru offered opportunities tor
speculation, and obtaining control OF
these fields he accumulated vast sums
When the war bet ween Chile and Peru
broke out he got control of railroads,
water and gas works, and made
large sums. His annual income was
$5,OOO,OOO and his whole fortune
$1OO,OOO,00O. He returned to Eng
land, became acquainted with the
Prince of Wales and spent money
lavishly. His racing stables were the
best in England.

GREAT deal of hard work and protests
beyond enumeration are certain TO
have prominence. The friends OF
silver are invited to think Of the vast
SCOPE of commercial paper that plays
such tremendous part in CONNER
cial transactions, made and cancelled

for a moment except under condi'
tons of high and almost universal
business confidence. Nearly 81 per
cent OF 1891, POS, 213 received in one
day by the banks of the United
States was represented by checks; IN
this way they illustrate the import
ant place they fill in the business
affairs of the country, supersedlng
momentariy current forms OF money
1t can hardly be denied that every
one, at any moment, can nave all
the money, in some form, he may be
able to buy; and this of course I'M
plies a principle of fundamental
importance underlying all business
transactions, that in the exchange oil
commodities for money, or money
for other commodities, every person
engaged in the transactions at that
particular moment desires, for some
purpose or other, the money more
than the commodity or commodity
more than money. No fats OF gov
eminent can possible change the
relation of buyer to seller, or seller
to buyer, nor exempt people from
recognizing this as fact, though their
own wits may.

Some Excellent Work by General
Grout.

Last month our representative
rounded out his winter in Congress
with some completed work IN the
House, than merits more than pass
ing notice. A question is involved,
bv which we must stand or fall, whose
entire solution is still problem OF
the future. So far as the matter con-
Germs the present House, it has passed
third reading on its merits, and
thanks to the managing skill of Cen
eral Grout. A majority of the people
of this country undoubtedly believe
in a total disconnection of the church
from state affairs. The question has
been up for discussion off and on since
the foundation of government. In
many states PROVISIONS made by law
for this divorce of interests. Church
and state are to be untrammeled IN
working out their own destinles
without let or hindrance from the
other. In sympathy with this prln-
ciple some appropriations, under the
lead of General Grout, for some
private institutions in the District OF
Columbia, have been carried through
the House by handsome majority
The unsectarian nature of these ap
preparations is emphasized by pro
viso conditioning the sums appro
priated upon permission to visit ant
inspect these institutions by govern
ment officials. They must open thei
doors to public inspection. Genera
Grout has been fortunate in his oppor
tunity, and sound in his judgment
and if we concede this, the country /
also fortunate in having the question
urged upon its attention again. W
look for further developments upo
this interesting question; meanwhil
all interested will do we'll to read tn
second half of EXTRACTS of Remark
of General Grout on District Appre
priations.

ONE HUNDRED MEN BURIED ALIVE.

One hundred miners were caught
Sunday morning under fall of rock
in the Twin Shaft mine at Pittston,
Pennsylvania.
1t is believed that all persisted in
stantly, but there is IA possibility that
some are imprisoned in the drift be-
tween two cavins. In that case they
are confined Ill small and almost air
tight space, 30 that even the powerful
fans cannot supply air enough to sus-
tain life until the searchers can cut
the walls of derbis.
Ii it prove that the men are dead,
sixty-three women will be left widows
and 200 children be fatherless.
This is the most terrible mine acct
dent which has occurred in the anthra-
cite region since the great disaster at
Avondale, this county, in 1859, in which
40 lives were lost.
What little hope there was of finding
the men alive but imprisoned was
lessened when at 3 o'clock the searchers
came upon the almost unacceptable
remains of M. J. Langan, acting mayor
of Pittston, and l.. J. Lycott, a ward
councilman. Langan was inside super

they were in the least perilous place,
