THE BEST SECTION.

In all the world, there is not spot TO-
day brighter IN radiant hope than the
Arkansas valley and the little kingdom
of Oklahoma.
There is a divinity of justice in this
world, whose function is the equaliza-
ton of favors bestowed, and this divin-
ity has not forgotten this section. Our
boom was the first 10 subside, as far
back as 1883. while the rest Of the coun-
fry did not meet a final reverse until
1893. 1t is but the work OF an impartial
nature to put us on an upgrade sooner
than the other sections of the country.
No valley in the civilized world is
more beautiful than that of the Great
Arkansas, in this part of the state. The
succession of emerald farms which
string along its whole length on either
side. encompasses a farming communi-
" which for happiness and prosperity
is approached by no other land less than
thirty years old, in the world. That this
]
the river and that those lands in the
valleys of tributary streams have SIM
liar degree of prosperity, is plainly and
Enthusiastically evidenced by the cluster
of energetic, busting little cities which
lie in this region. In other parts or
Kansas, excepting the Missouri valley
alone, the larger towns are Isolated.
Here they are gathered together as so
many bees in flower garden. Hutch
inson, Newton, kingman, Fl Dorado,
Winfield, Arkansas City, Wellington,
Caldwell, all within a very short dis
lance of Wichita, all exist on the super
lative richness of the surrounding coun-
try. They are all today awakening 10
new vigor and life.
And the line which separated Oklaho-
ma from Kansas should never have
been drawn, and the line should have
been marked at the northern boundary
of Harvey county and included us all
with Oklahoma. For geographically
Oklahoma is identical with us. AS here,
so is that exceedingly rich and happy
territory a multitude of prosperous
towns, bees again about a flower gar
den. cluster. Enid, Medford,, Hennes-
sey, Kingfisher, Ell Reno. Newkirk,
Ponca City, Kildare, Blackwell, Still
water, Perry, Guthrie, oklahoma City,
and Purcell in the Indian Territory, |
Shawnee, Tecumseh and Chandler i'll
eastern Oklahoma, all survive as per-
manent and well-to-do little cities in a |
very restricted territory. 1t takes a
high degree of surrounding prosperity |
TO permit OF their existence. The fact !
that they do exist, as do the towns in
the Arkansas valley of Southern Kan |
sas, is prima facie evidence that the spot /
we live in, under cultivation hardly !
thirty years, is the richest tract Of land |
a bountiful Providence ever laid out for !
man to prosper upon.

BARNEY BAgNATo's MONEY

There is line 1t which mans estate
gets SO large as not TO be computable.
Its value is in constant fuctuation with
the rise and fall of rents and of Sc
curities. When very large it comprises
many investments the worth Of which
can only be told by putting them On the
market for sale. This fact gives rise 10
endless exaggeration; for the human inl-
agination loves 10 dream Of opulence on
q splendid scale 1t revels in Aladdins
with magic lamps that produce gems
and palaces as required. If any one be
bold enough TO conjecture the size of a
Gould. Westminster or a Barnato es-
tate there IS no one able 10 contradict
him. The owner himself does not know
what he is worth.
When London was selling American
securities few years ago, in order 10
invest the proceeds in the -Kaffirs," As
Barney's enterprises were called he was
said 10 be the richest man in the world
and TO possess half-billion OF money.
This probably never was true; and his
supposed wealth has shrunk immensely,

now that it has been probated at less
than S5.000.OO0. At that time ne was
| floating scheme after scheme of South
African ventures in gold and diamond
mines, and running 4 private bank,
which afterward went to pieces His
Kafir shares bounded and rebounded
| as rapidly and violently as a balloon,
and money-despising Englishmen-
! princes, dukes and merchants-were
wild 10 be in the scramble, in a way
that recalled the days of John Law in
Paris or the contemporaneous South
Sea bubble in London. Barnato was
regarded as the dispenser of fabulous
fortunes, and the aristocratic Carlton
club went out OF itS way to admit him
TO membership. In South Africa, where
he was better known, the clubs would
not receive him.
Had Barnato sold out when the
Kaffirs were sky-rocketing he could
have made one of those incompatible
fortunes. But the trouble is that such
men cannot sell OFT. If they try to IN
load their holdings they prick the bubble
and their enterprises collapse. Those
involved with them. watching their ev-
cry move, rush TO sell out before the
crash comes, and so precipitate the
ruin. The 100000 now to the credit
Of his estate was probably all he could
save from the stupendous wreck. There
are those who believe that Barnatos
suicide was due to drink; but no man
could have carried On transactions as
vast as his who was addicted TO alcohol
10 such an extent as to bring on deliri-
um. More probable is the theory Of the
Daily Chronicle that. like Bret Harte's
hero. he handed in his checks because
ne felt the game was up. This the
probate goes TO prove.
There has been no American speculat-
or so audacious and himsy as poor Bar
nato. The nearest approach to him was
the notorious Jim" Fisk; and his end
was still more wretched. We have had
bold spectators who came and went
like meteors; but they operated in cor
ners. We have had rogues; but they got
into the courts. Barnato invented I'll
licit diamond buying" and escaped
breaking stone at Capetown. He issued
worthless stocks and persuaded coronet-
ed men and women to buy them. Those
who knew him best, while praising his
invention. boldness and unassuming lib
crafty say that all persons, even to his
own kin, interested him only for what |
he could make out of them, and that he |
was not known to have affection. Yet |
he enriched his brothers-although, it is |
said. it was because he found them serv- |
iceable.
What is the moral of this drama? Has |
it a moral at all, or an immoral? Did !
he succeed? From a ghetto to kin |
dred raised to aff1uence and an estate
Of S5,OOO.OOO, even with suicide thrown |
in, is as alluring to some natures as /
death from a bullet on a field of battle. |
There are thousands feady to risk
either.
