Savagery in Russia.

An awful story of savage cruelty comes
from st. Petersburg. Ten boys in an iron
works in the Caucasus were accused of
stealing sum of money that had been
missed from the safe The owners made
no complaint to the police, but took the
matter in their own hands.
They first imprisoned the boys for three
days, without food, in the hope of extort-
ing a confession from them This plan
having failed, half dozen burly foremen
stripped them and whipped them with
sticks. Next they pierced their eyelids
with needles, alternately beating their
victims as they fell insen sibe.
As the boys still refused to admit their
guilt, even under these diabolical tortures,
some of their teeth were pulled out, their
mouths were filed with large stones, the
jaws being bound together by leather
straps. The agony of the boys was SO
great they finally confessed

we will get back. think we can whip
the Filipinos into subsection all of them
who don't die in the process. We cannot
tell how long il will take, or how often we
will have to repeat the subjugation, or
how much it will cost, but am enough of
an American to think we can beat any
nation on carth-that we ought to beat
Little Spain had almost completed the
job of whipping the Filipinos, after having
been Mt it only 300 years She sold to us
a quit claim dccd-or rather an option on
tho fighting.

whip the Filpinos or not, but whether we
ought to whip them don't like to bring
this question down to dollars and cents,
but will it pay 1t will not pay the right
people. | can understand how men want
ing offices in the army desire to hold the
islands; | can understand how people
wanting franchises in the islands can ad-

stand how the great people can want to
hold them
You say hold them as a place for our
children to go. Twenty people to the
square mile here and sixty people TO the
square mile in the Philippines that

talk about securing an outlet for our sur

Because they would rather live in Iowa or

it bas been with other nations In Jamai-

land in her Indian possessions. From
what you hear you would think the |
English people had been going over
there in droves. | am amazed to find |
that after fifty years of English domina
ton in India there are only 100, 900 Eng
h-born residents there. and it takes an
army of 20, 600 English and 100, 900 natives
to protect these LOG, 900 English people.

Vast Concentration of Wealth.

A we'll known life insurance company
recently advertised extensively the fact
that it had attained the remarkable record
Of 1000 millions of insurance, and that in
obtaining this enormous business it has
accumulated aggregate assets of 27O mil
lion dollars. All this has been accom-
pished in forty years; indeed more than
half of its enormous assets have been ac-
cumulated in ten years. In 1890 the com
pauy had 107 millions in total assets. 1t
has added 1G3 millions since that date.
Another illustration of tremendous con
centratiOn of wealth is to be found in the
resort of the New York trust companies
Their aggregate resources now are 722
million dollars, having grown from 4SS
million dollars eighteen months ago, and
they were only 800 million dollars January
1, 1892. Still another interesting com
parisOn may be mado of the biggest
national banks of the country. The
American banker prints, every time .
statement of national banks is called for,
list of all those having over millions in
deposits. On June 30th of this year there
were l2l of such banks, compared with
only ninety-one a year ago. The twenty
five banks which head these lists had over
1000 millions of deposits June 30, 1899,
compared with 1872 millions on July Ia,
1893, gain of 26S millions, or 35 per cent
in signle year Part of this enormous
gain is to be accounted for by the absorp-
ton of smaller banks by the larger ones,
but most of it is due to the natural drift of
business to the larger institutions.
The significant feature of these great
accumulations of wealth is the power it
shows of emnently capable individuals to
draw business to themselves. Is must be
understood, of course, that these 200
millions of deposits in twenty-five banks,
these 722 millions of assets in the posses
sion of the trust companies of New York,
and the 27O millions that are controlled by
single insurance company, belong to tens
Of thousands of individuals who have in
trusted it to these various organizations
for safety and profit Nevertheless, it
places tremendous power in the hands of
few individuals and invests them with
an enormous responsibility. That these
biggest financial institutions are growing
much more rapidly than the wealth of the
country is increasing is evident OH the face
of the record, and the question may
well be asked what limit is there to
this enormous growth An insurance
company that has piled up assets Of 270
millions, starting with nothing, in forty
years, may easily have 1000 millions in
another forty years if the business for that
immense sum is obtainable It's field is
the whole world 1t has had strenuous
competition all through it's career, and
two other companies have almost equaled
its achievement.
In the case of the banks and trust COM
panies the same questions may be asked.
Where is the limit of their possible growth
Thoughtful people cannot but feel that
this vast concentration of wealth in the
control of comparatively few persons is
likely to reach point where it will be
fraught with great danger to the country,
if, indeed, it has not already reached that
point.-K G. Star

Another Large Canal.

Work begun Monday near Bayou Ser
pent clearing the right of way of n new
irnigating canal which will open to the
market some of the finest rice land il
Calcasieu parish, That section has beer
looked over carefully by number of sur
veyors and prospectors and all allege il
to be one of the best unoccupied fields
for an irrigating plant that can be found,
The country is very fertile and of a ma
ture well adapted to rice growing. The
natural difficulties in the canal are moi
many and an economical plant can be op
Grated which will flood a great many acres
The canal will receive its water from
Bayou Serpent. The water is never salt
that far up and plenty of fresh water will al
ways be available. The lift will be a little
over 90 feet, which Is not great lift con
sidering the size of the canal and the great
length Of the main canal.
The canal will run in south and east
direction from this bayou to few miles OF
Welsh. II will cross the Watkins track
northeast of Iowa junction. The tota
length of the main canal will be nearly
eighty miles. The large laterals will ado
good deal to the total length
The canal will have a pumping ant
carrying capacity sufficient to food be
tween foul and five thousand acres. The
boiler and pumping plant will of necessity
be of large size and great power.
The work of building the canal will be
started soon and the banks will be com
pleted in time to allow to season during thu
winter.
The available sites for pumping plants
are being taken rapidly, and soon none o
the large area will be left. The Bayou
Serpent location is an excellent one, ant
it is pleasant to record that rice crOl
will be raised out there next season.

Richard Croker's conversion to Bryan
and his newly discovered hostility to i'm
perialism, mean one and only one thing.
They mean that Mr. Croker feels the set
of the political wind. He has no political
principles. But he is shrewd, he cares for
nothing but to win, and he cares to win
nationally only for the sake Of its effect
locally. To him the Washington white
house in the middle distance is petty
piece Of architecture in comparison with
the New York city hall in the foreground.
And when he advocates Bryan and opposes
after having vigorously condemned the
former and lovingly welcomed the latter,
it means that in his opinion the country
