THE IMMENSELY WEALTHY.

1t is quite impossible fully to comprehend
the Vastness of the enormous wealth held
by few men in the United States. The
fortunes of nine different American families
aggregate the almost inconceivable sum Of
81, 754 1900. A competent authority esti-
mates that. by 1.-The pure force of accumu-
lation alone,'' William Waldorf Astor will
probably, before he dies, possess fortune
of 81 900, 100000. The daily income Of Astor
is $25,027 or SO, 49,, 900 annually. There are
eight other men whose daily incomes vary
from $4.137 to $16,OO3. Rev. Josiah Strong
estimates that it would take 100 workmen
earning LOCO year, over 1900 years to earn
as much as the annual income of the 100
richest Americans; and if a workman could
earn $40 day, he would have to work until
he would be SAT years old, and never take
a day off, before he could earn as much as
some Americans are worth.
It is evident all this wealth did not
ton of labor.
1t means the conquest of a continent,
the subjugation of a race. It is the
outgrowth of trickery, knavery, sharp
ness. Iaft-
It is too often ostentatious vulgarity.
Bob Schilling says in the Milwaukee
Advance: 81
And now vie have an American woman
who is a queen. At any rate her husband is
viceroy-vice king-of India. She was a
Vanderbilt and married Lord Curzon, who
has been appointed to the office named.
A report says that she has prepared her
viceregal wardrobe for her Indian home.
She passed week in Paris selecting
dresses. Her orders to the Worth house
alone reached, 900. Now put that together
with the fact that there has been a terri
BILE famine in India, which is not ended
yet and that -four five million men,
women and little children died for the want
Of food. No comment.

If a whole lot of reformers are to go
into one of the reform parties for the sake
of unity It seems most fitting that they
should come into the Peoples party. The
Is at nationally, while the Peoples party
stands as haven between the conserva-
tism of old-time Democrats and the radical
ism of new-time Socialists.-Topeka Advo-
cate and News.
The Democratic party is trying to get
into good society on the ground that it
has stolen the Peoples party shirt and
pants.
So far the attempt has been a gross
failure.
The Peoples party is the only reform
party In the United States, and all the
rest are shams and impostors. Id.

A dispatch from Washington to the

that the administration is fearful that If
a big wheat crop is raised in Russia,
Argentine, India and this country for
the next two years, that it will so de-
press prices that it will disgust the
farmers, and that they will, with their
usual stupidity, blame the party in

OF COURSE.
That Is the Game.

The Democratic state central committee
Is sending out a lot of matter prepared
by one George s. Garfield which it calls
reform politics. The Globe Is favored with
request to run the stuff ETC. Presumably
on the suppOsition that it Is a Democratic
paper.
The Globe Is reform paper and it there
fore cannot be a Democratic paper as
there is no reform possible in the Demo-
cratic party.-Fergus Falls Globe.
The first love of the average Demo-

WHEAT INSPECTION.
Some Good SugxestfOus.

Some Good Suggestions.
A. c. Clausen, chief inspector of grain
in this state, makes, in his annual re-
port to the railroad and warehouse COM
mission, some suggestions which seem
to us in the interest of all the people.
We quote:
Our present rules for reinspection and ap-
peal were formulted with a view of seclr-

No government any more than an in

CLUB OFFERS.

All reformers know the value of re-
form papers in our cause.
The great educational campaign and
reform work of the future rests largely
upon the widest distribution of our lead
ing reform papers at the lowest cost.
Money spent for brass bands, torch
light professions and free railroad ex-
cursions may bring temporary gains.
Money spent for reform papers sent
into the homes of the masses does re-
form work that is permanent.
We will send to one address. or to
different addresses, as desired, for one

the papers here named, for the cash

SHALL THE ALLIANCE BE REVIVED,

An effort will be made to revive the al
lance next year. In 1892 the Peoples
Party took the place Of the alliance. Now
that the Peoples Party seems to be dead
1t may be possible to revive the alliance
There was one good thing about that or
ganization, it excluded lawyers, bankers and
saloon keepers. The. Peoples Party took
them all in, and in this county it went so
far as to elect a lawyer to the state sem

possible to perpetrate IN the alliance. If
the old organization were revived 1t would
tend to strengthen the Peoples Party

Pugwash, a deal shipping port of con-
siderable Importance on the Straits Of
Northumberland, was destroyed by
fire yesterday. 200 dwellings, FIVE
churches, 20 stores, three hotels and
several mills being burned. The flames

them beyond control.
With few exceptions, the building
were wooden, and large portion of the
town was closely built The people
fled for their lives. losing everything.
The foreign shipping i'm port was slight
ly damaged. The town was little in

lection. The inhabitants are now en-
camped in the fields and woods. Sew
eral people are reported missing. but IL
Is impossible yet TO tell whether any
lives have been lost. Relief is being
organized i'm every direction.
