that Spain must free Cuba and his
demand would have been as successful

conquered, with the assistance Of
the insurgents, the city of Manila
We took the Sulu Islands. With
the same right we should take the
Carolines, the Canary and Bal

too modest
P. Sour above surmises are
not so wrong after all. We have
now passed the canary Islands in
our claim, and have arrived at
Ceuta, "a fortress belonging to Spain
in Morocco. That shows that
England dictates our policy. She

Gov D1DRIeV

the other day said to the writer:
"The war tax will have to stand
another year, as we need the
money"
Our reply was: "Goyernor, #
the annexation policy continues,
will you be able to decrease the
war taxes the next following year,
or will you not be comoelled to
increase themp" That question
struck the Governor. All he said
was: 1--WE will need a great deal
OF money" The impression this
conversation left on our mind was
that the Governor did not favor
the annexation policy. He is
far sighted leader and sees now
already where the new policy will
lead US; to wit, to more wars, in
creased national debts, PROSTATE
business, and final defeat and
ousting from power OF the Repub-
lican party.

AT THE THEATRES.

The engagement OF the great Polish
actress. Madame Helena Modjeska, for
one week, beginning next Monday eve
ming, December Sth, is respectfully
announced. With the exception Of a
spectacular production Of the classic or
tragic drama now and then, which are
exhibitions OF scenic, rather than dram
attic art, this field has been almost
abandoned OF late, and consequently the
return Of Madame Modes perhaps
the greatest living tragedienne, at least
on the English speaking stage, has
almost the element Of novelty. Her
genius is too well known and too longly
acknowledged to suggest comment, but
1t is in order to give this great artist
svery credit, even reverence, for hav-
ing adhered, with all the commercial
temptations to the contrary, TO the
most exalted ideas, in other words, tor
having renamed loyal 10 her ogn
standard which she proclaimed at the
outset oil her career, Her engagement
wilt be boon to those who lament the
loss Of that grand coterie OF actors of
which Forrest, Mccullough aud SaIvini
aud Booth were such shining lights,
and they will cherish the reflection th'
she is the sole surviving representative
OF that illustrious group. Modjeska's
advent will likewise appeal with force
to the educational institutions of Wash .
Ington where Shakespeare is a part of
the literary course, for, as a reader of
blank verse, she has not been surpassed
in the memory Of tOday's play goers.
The repertoire, which includes
Camille" in which she made her first
success in America, and Antony and
Cleopatra" which she has presented
this season tor the 1rst time in her
career, is announced as follows:

The R,n,onaIrein sight

a hundreu years ago GSOIs =
Washington was the richest man
in America. He was supposed
to be worth something less than a
million dollars. The American
millionaire was Just visible on the
horizon. AS the twentieth century
approaches the coming billionaire
is plainly in view.
1t is said that Mr.. Jo' d. Rock
efeller is trying to gain control OF
the entire copper industry oil the
United States. Not that he has
any particular affection for cooper,
but he has to find some investment
for the income whose swelling ac-
cumulations threaten to drown
him in food ofgold. Mr.. Rock-
tfeller's revenue from his Stand
ard Oil holdings alone is 50, ,o6o,-
600 a year, or about S2s 900 a day,
or 81 900 an hour, and that is only
one OF his sources Of income. In
addition he has heavy, if not con-
trolling, interests in the Tobacco,
Sugar, Steel and Cotton Oil Trusts,
il several railroads and in the iron
mines OF the Northwest; he owns
a whole feet Of lake steamers, and
he has agents continually on the
watch for new investments.
All this suggests the interesting
question: How long will it be be-
fore Mr.. Rockefeller owns the
United States1
The thing az pears to be a simple
matter Of mathematics. Practi
cally all OF MI. Rockefeller's in
come is available for investment.
the proportion devoted to living
expenses is impercePtible. In ten
ysars his Standard Oil dividends
alone will amount to over $50, ooo,.
600. allowing nothing tor com
pounding, and that IS only one
item.
In 1870 the Standard Oil Com
pany was organized with a capital
ization Of 81 900, 900. Atthat time
Mr.. Rockefeller may have been
worth Szso, 900. Probably he is
worth now at least SsSo, 900, ,ooe,
In other words, his wealth has in
creased a Thousand fold in twenty
eight years.
In 1870 the total wealth Of the
United States was estimated al
$50 ,o6s, ,sIs,so7. In 1880 it was
S43,64a ,ooo. 900, in 1890 sos, s,o37,-
e9t,t97, and at the present time II
is probably about SIS ,ooo, 900, 900
In other words, while Mr.. Rock
efeller's wealth has been increas
ing a thousand fold, that Of th'
country at large has increased
about two and a halt times. II
1870 Mr.. Rockefeller owned les
than the one hundred thousandtt
part Of the national wealth; ia I89'
he owns one three hundredth par
Of it. At the same rate OF progress
he or his estate will own it all il
about twenty-five years.
OF course that will not happen
Something will be done to preVen
it, but we owe Mr. Rockefeller
thanks for making the course o
present economic tendencies 81
clear.
