it must not be forgotten that the Rothsehilds
and other Jew millionaires are decidedly I'M
popular in Paris. thanks to the unwearied efforts
of NJ Edouard Drumont and other journalists
and that it probably occurred to the Rothchilds
that ffO,0OO given with immense advertisement
would be an exceedingly cheap form OF insurance
The generosity of the Rothschilds is still to be
proven.
Then hear that f2J. 900 has been given in
check to the Princess of Wales's fund for
jubilee dinner to the poor of London or course
this gift also to Ice anonymous. but now it is
announced that the donor is Mr. Upton the we'll
known provision merchant and the announce
ment is probably justified fer the language of the
letter that accompanied the gift was clumsy
of Mr.. Astor: still it may well be that OF Mr.
Upton. And snobbishness in Mr.. Lptons case
may be as enicient a fnotiVe as rear IN the case
Of the Rothschilds: nor is the advertisement as
an advertisement worthless. as MIR. Upton knows
but where does the generosity appear Mr.
Upton makes. we believe about fiGO.OOO year
out OF his business. Twenty years ago he was a
poor man selling provisions in a single ROOM
and his tastes are presumably not expensive.
What is f25.O00 to a man who has at least a
| couple of millions and who could probably sell
his business for three millions more? Mr.. Lip
toms generosity is still be proved.
Then comes Mr.. Bottom!ey. who gave the other
day f25O. 900 TO the victims of the Hansard Union
The good point about Mr.. Bottomley is that he
gave the money ostentatiousy, not q charity
not as a reparation but as ne said himself as n
preparation" Mr. Bottomley wishes to enter
the House of Commons; he thought that spending
a quarter Of a million in this way would benefit
his reputation. and therefore he spent it: and
Mr.. BOttomley is no fool. THE Star tells us
that Mr.. Bottomley Is still recommending his
recommending them more successfully since his
large donation. 1t is quite possible therefore
that Mr.. BOttomley will find his quarter OF a
million a good Investment in more senses than
one. But still Mr.. Bottomley does not pose as a
philanthrOpist, and that Is much in his favor.
Now we come to the biggest Sift OF ALL to
the 100000 given by Mr. Hooley to the poor of
his district in Derbyshire. The cynic asserts that

Another Grand Stand Play.
Public Opinion.

Public Examiner Taylor advises
that suit be brought against the
auditors office. If, as we believe
the case will prove to be, the state
has no interest in the alleged excess
fees alleged to have been charged
the insurance companies, OF course
the states case would be thrown
out of court. In that event, there
would be no avenue opened to the
ex-auditor and the present auditor
for ~vindication except the press-tbe

A fatal conflict occurred in the
Hazleton, Pa, coal region between
a posse of deputies under command
of the sheriff and a force Of Hungar-
ian striking miners, in which twenty
one of the latter were killed and
forty wounded, some Of whom will
die. From the sheriff's own account
of the occurrence, the shooting was
unwarrant9d, as the miners had COM
mitted no overt act. The affair was
especially regretable as negotiations
for the ending Of the strike we're
going on at the time and we're bro't
to a successful conclusion after
wards. AS it is, the situation is
greatly complicated and only the
wisest Of counsel will prevent fur

As anticipated, Judge Campbell
was renominated for circuit Judge
by the republicans of the Fifth
judicial circuit. The unanimous
n in which he was chosen was
a deserved compliment to a true

little doubt but that the choice of
the convention will be ratified by
the electors Of the district, with
whom the judge is a sterling favorite
by reason of bis unassuming manner
and judicial fairness.

Popocrat Logic.

The logic of some partisans is a
strange thing to contemplate.

agitators, who have no more lofty
ambition than to create discomfort

fault of Legislation and the admins

when prices of products are high
they say that it is merely a question

Senators Learning Something

Our South Dakota senators are
travellers. Senator Kyle
has just returned from a bicycle tour
of England, France and Belgium, in
which countries he made a careful
of farm methods. And this
s enator says a comparison of con-
di tions in these countries with those
of our own is favorable to the Amer
lean farmer. Senator Pettigrew is
in Japan studying the silver ques-
ton. And this senator will no
doubt be prepared to tell how much
we suffer by comparison. Since that
far off date-1873-when criminals
ruled, Speaking for the senator), we
have been trampled by the merciless
hoofs of the gold standard, while
japan, though unfortunate, has been
oppressed for a much briefer time.
