AFRHCA's MONTE CRISTo.

The suicide Monday OF Barney Bar
nato. the South African Diamond
King" Ny jumping from the ships deck,
upon which he lnad taken passage Mt
Cape Town for Southampton, England,
puts an end to the career Of q man who,
as financier was the wonder OF the
age.
Barney Barnato, whose right name
was said! to he Isaaca, was the son of
q Whitechapel ragpicker, and who many
years ago drifted to the African gold
fields. where he made a fortune, which
was still further argumented by specu-
lation until his wealth was said to be
$780, 00O, 900. About five years ago he APP
peared in London. and at once began to
set the market wild with his schemes,
making money out Of nearly all of them,
as we'll as helping a few new-made
friends to fortune. The only really great
loss sustained by him during his Lon
don career was that Of $4,000, 600
IN endeaVorinS to prop up the
Barnato Bank, Mining and Estate cor
poratlon. His mansion In London cost
$1,00O.000; nc gave great dinners and
dazzled the whole Of Piccadilly with the
splendor OF his surroundings so that
before long the sou OF the raspickei- OF
Whitechapel. the eX-circus clown the ex-
miner and his bar-nlaid wife were hob
| nobbing with the nobility
When he appeared in London it was
said that he took daily baths in cham
payne; his meals were served upon gold
Ell dishes. and he spent money freely
Sir Edgar Vincent introduced him into
European financial circles. and there
seemed to be no end to his ability to
make money. Men often spoke OF him
| as modern Monte Cristo and, perhaps,
| he came more nearly TO being that than
any other living man.
Ills death ends a career which, when
| summed up, is best described as rhetoric.

=. ORGANIZATIONS IS NECESSARY.

When the lion. William Jennings
Bryan was in New York the other day
he made q speech before one Of the poltt-
ical clubs Of that city, and among other
matters, he referred to the necessity Of
organization, to resist the growing
power Of the trust and combines, saying:
The growth Of great trusts and
combinations Of capital has led the
people to realize the danger of
monopolies which have deprived the
people of their rights. The mono-
poly Of gold has enabled the people
to know the meaning Of 4 dollar
which grows fatter every, day while
the people grow leaner.
whenever Il great purpose Is to
be accomplished there must be uni
~. Organization is necessary
Mr.. Bryan seems to have struck the
nail right on the head III urging organi-
zDtion and unity Of action to repe1 the
advance of the trusts and combines,
and unless something Of the kind is
done. some Of these days their power is
going to he SO strong as to seriously eff
feet the life Of the nation.

DON'T LIKE nEwspApEr, HEN.

~ J. Harding, the genius who prestdes
over ''Biltmore," the Vanderbilt estate
at AshevilIe. N. c., during the absence
newspaper men, and the wonder is
Just what the Paternity has done to his
highness that he should have been led to
make such an expression.
1t will be remembered that President
MCKINLEY and his party, on their return
from the Nashville Centennial, stopped
In AsheVille on the 14th Instant and it
was then that the major domo of 'I3llt-
more" refused to allow the newspaper
men with the Presidential party to visit
the place. and when the members of the
Asheville committee expressed their sur
prise at the position he had taken, he
made haste to say, emf Vanderbilt
spits on newspaper notoriety and SO do
l. The matter was reported to the
President. who very properly said the
newspaper gentlemen travelling with
him were his guests, and ir they were
barred from the mansion ''he would not
step his foot inside the estate" and the
matter was SO reported to Mr. Harding.
MIR. Harding, upon learning the PresI-
dents decision, came down Off his perch.
or course the newspaper men will lose
no sleep over MI. Harding's d;slikes Of
them, but they are puzzled to know what
case 1t was, or when was it that
they failed to treat him as he
deserved. It Is no fault of the
newspaper men that this Mr. Harding
In Al.
and 1t Is not always convenient tc keep
mans name out Of the paper even if
he deserves 1.-THE majority o. offenders
do not deserve it. Mr. Harding appears
to belong to the latter class. There are
q whole lot Of Hardings in this world,
and they are all small people.

HAVE TuEY DONE THEIR DUrxan

There is a growing belief throughout
the country that the Democratic Sena-
tors have been remiss in their duty in
orously than appears to have been the
case. 1t Is not sufficient to say that
Democratic opposition would have been
Of no avail: they could at least have
protested and thus evidenced to the
country the opposition Of the Democrat
ic party to the measure, but instead.
they have done practically nothing in
the way OF opposing the bill. Some Of
the Democratic members have made
speeches against the measure, to be
sure. but the majority Of them have
not opened their mouths on the subject.
These latter gentlemen content them
selves by saying 1t Is q bad measure,
and If passed the Republican party will
be held responsible for 1t by the coun-
try, while the Democrats will have no
part OF the blame to ibear. This, Of
course, upon its face appears to be cor
rect, and is so accepted, but is it cor
rect?
Is not the minority as much q part of
the law-making element as is the ma
jority. under our form of government?
And this being the case, how can the
Democratic minority escape its share
Of the responsibility and especially
when it makes no positive attempt to
prevent the Objectionable legislation ?
Some Of these days some Of these same
their present position difficult one to
define.

SUPREMACY oFT1IEsoUTrs.

Inere are the strongest reasons in the
world for making the assertion that the
South will at no distant day wrest the
ern centres as an iron and steel pro-
ducng section. This is an opinion de-
liberately and firmly announced by the
New York Flnancier journal Of great
influence. and one which has excellent
facilities as a bureau Of information,
and has not made the Statements here
attributed to 1t without knowing its full
the early days OF the iron industry in
the South will remember "how Northern
Iron manufa cturers were wont to make
light Of the claims that the new aspirant
for this branch of trade was able to
manufacture iron cheaper than the
North could produce it, but this de-
fusion has been dispelled says the FL
nancier, and to-day the Southern iron
Is potent factor in the markets Of the
world. and its increased CONSUMPTION
has been brought about not alone from
the fact that it can be sold cheaper,
but because intrinsicaly It Is better
suited to the diversified uses to which
1t has been put. AS an additional evil
dence that the South is advancing along
the line suggested. 1t IS only necessary
to refer to the fact that there IS now in
this country a committee representing a
foreign syndicate. with a capital OF
s10,0O0,000 to invest in the South, at the
head Of which committee is the Hon.
Reginald West, OF London. When in
Pittsburg, Pa. on Monday last Mr..
West was asked II his company con-
templated making any inves. ments in
that State, and in reply thereto said
We are on our way to look over some
coal mines in the Birmingham district,
and Will view other promising invest
ments. do not think any Of our capt
tai will be placed in Pittsburg or In
Pennsylvania. The South being. devel-

DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure con-
stipation, dyspepsia and biliousness in
the only sure, permanent way. There
is nothing violent or irritating about
them, they work mildly though quickly.
They tone and strengthen the bowels
to carry on their functions naturally.
They gently stimulate the flow Of bile
from the liver and the digestive juices
Of the stomach. You don't become
slave to their use as with other pills.
They make you regular and then you
can leave them. That is the difference
between DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
and the something ''just as good" which
a sharp druggist tries to substitute.
Don't let him do so with you.
