RICH BY DIVINE RIGHT.

For centuries the people of the world
believed that their rulers reigned over
them by divine right. They were taught
from infancy that God gave them their
kings and they did not question it, To
express doubt of the divine right of
kings was sacrilege. The American
colonists were among the first TO dis
pute this proposition, and now such
sentiments are scarcely entertained in
any civilized country even though gov
erned by a hereditary monarchy.
In place OF the discarded fetch of the
GOd-given power of kings, appears a
tendency to recognize the Divinity in
the rule of wealth. At least that seems
TO be the view taken by Mr.. John D.
Rockefeller, the Standard Oil king and
p0ssessOr of $500, 600 600.
Mr.. Rockefeller Is reported to have
boldly laid down the proposition that
God gave him his wealth. Without
making so bold as to dispute this asser-
ton. one familiar with the Rockefeller
methods of doing business can hardly
fail to feel that it is at least open to
discussion. The popular conception of
the Giver of All Good will hardly sus-
tain Mr.. RockefelleF's contention from
the fact that his fortune has been
amassed through the wreck and ruin
of thousands of his fellow men.
If it be admitted, however, that Mr.
Rockefeller is right and that he has
been given all his immense fortune that
he might become the dispenser of the
divine blessing, it must appear singular
that he should have been left so def
cient in other respects. For instance,
when called to the witness stand re-
Gently, Mr.. Rockefeller confessed that
he knew almost nothing about oil, and
his lack of memory was startling.
It will seem to the ordinary observer
moreover that the Standard Oil mag
nate is retaining an inordinate share
of the Lords bounty to his own especial
use.
True. he sgiven from his three hun
dred millions a quarter of a million to
Baptist missions and a million Or so to
Chicago university. He promised a mill
lion, it is said, 20 Brown university, but
recalled it on learning that President
Andrews had been teaching the theory
OF a bimetalIic currency to the stu
dents.
Perhaps the common and less fav-
ored people viii be 10th to concede that
the God of the universe is averse to
showering His blessings upon the BIZ
metallist and the gold bug alike If
Rockefeller is right, the familiar lines
which say: God moves in a myster-
aous way His wonders to perform
were never more strongly exemplified.

BURIED ALIVE.
Walls of a Saloon Collapse While the
Building is Full of People.

WATERFOWL. S. D.. June 22.-The walls
of the Mulholland building on Lake
street. occupied by Berg & Olsen as a
saloon, gave way without warning
about o'clock last night burying a
number of persons in the ruins. The
place was crowded at the time, a circus
having attracted a great many people
from the surrounding counties.
A number of bodies are believed to
be in the ruins. The work of clearing
away the debris has resulted in the
finding of one body, that of Phillip Pat
terson.
Among those who escaped death but
who are more or less injured, are the
following:
David Ball, ribs broken.
S. Mcdonnell scalp wound.
D. w. Bradley, back injured and cut
about the head.
Mrs. Austin, cut about the head and
shoulders.
David Wallerhouse, fatally hurt in

MEAT TAKES A DROP.
Talk of an Alleged Conspiracy to Ad-
vance Prices Proves Fatuous.

New York, June 22.-The discovery of a
mares nest in the belief of a conspir-
acy on the part of the great western
slaughterers to force up the price of all
meats, repeatedly published during the
last 10 days, has ended in disappointment
to the exploiters. Yesterday and the day
before the meat market was weak. and
prices which had ruled for a considerable
interval were barely maintained. This
morning a decided drop of one-half to one
cent per pound on beef, mutton, lamb and
veal took place among the commission
dealers at the New York markets.

FUSION IN VIRGINIA.
Populists and Democrats Getting
Ready to Sweep Virginia for
the Cause of Silver.

Washington, June 22.-There is every
probability that the Democrats and Pop
ulists of Virginia will unite this fall not
withstanding efforts of the middle-of-the
readers to defeat such a course. There
is a great deal of talk in Richmond and
other parts of the state of the effort to
be made by the Populist party at the
approaching convention in Roanoke, to
obtain the second place on the Democra-
tic ticket this fall. Major Richard v.
Gaines of Charlottesville will be pre-
scented by the Populists for the place and
appears to be acceptable to the Demo-
Gratis.

The man who works as little as pos
sibIe never gets along as well as a man
who works as much as possible.
Public sentiment is so often wrong
that there are several noted frauds that
people are afraid to denounce except in

Every manager of an amateur show

and tedious, but that he is too afraid
of his company to cut them short.
AS soon as a cheap man has been
converted. and joins a. church, he be
gins to set himself up as an authority
on what kind of people the Lord loves.
An old fashioned father is one who
doesn't think that his authority over
his daughter ceases as soon as she is
old enough to swing on gate and wait
for a man.
It is doubtful if anything worse can
be said of a man than that he is one
of the kind that spells children's en-
tertainments by making long, dry
speeches.
When girl leaves the room in
which her father, mother and seven or
eight sisters and brothers are sitting
and wanderS off to the gate to look at
the stars, it indicates that she is lone
