ROcketeller's Fortune.

OOhPfessulau JtHerson M. Levy or New York Is r-ported to have offered Rockeieiier S4O0. 00U for 5UU shares of Standard Oil stock This valuation applied to hls total holdings of Stan dard Ol places R,cAet.llers wealth in that property alone at about S20O, 000, 00U, In addition la this he has large interests ia other directions, SD that it Is impossible to measure accurately his snlire for,unc Within the last year, however, the advance in the market value ot his Standard Oil stock alone has increased his wealth $95, 900, 900 or so, while his annual income in divi dends from that stock Is about Sl6,. 0OO, ,UU0
 Such astonishing figures go far to prove that the Standard OIl magnate is the richest man in the world They are deceiving, however. m a sense Mr. Rockefeller has no such accumulation of money as that, nor could he have Any effort to convert those holdings into money or into other forms of property wonld "bear" the market and materially reduce the value. The est. mate Is actually based on the earning power oi bls property, calculating the capital value according to the current rate of interest. The lower the rate oi interest happens to be at given time, therefore, tue greater Is the estimated value of of the fortune from which the enormous dividends are drawn. The annual increase of the fortune, like. Wise, does not mean corresponding reduction in the wealth of others, for 1t IS not drawn from stocks of colamod. ities and money previously existing. It Is drawn, instead, from the years in- crease Ill the general wealth of which this particular fortune obtains such conspicuous share.
 The prophecy that such a fortune could be accumulated by any means, legitimate or otherwise, by the end of the l9th century would have been con sldered wildly fabulous loo years ago Washington died the richest man in America, yet he was not millionaire with ail hIs land. slaves, accumulated crops and similar possessions. Jeffer son throughout his writings conunu- ally calls attention to the essentially agricultural character ot this country, and the fact that by force ot nature the development must be along agri- cultural lines, virtually assuring that the country must be relatively poor, anu that the great fortunes conld hard. ly be accumulated-tbis, too, wheA Sl ,OOO. 0UU would have been considered n stupendnons sum That is hardly strange when we remember that for the whole oi the Louisiana territory Jefferson paid but Sl5,000,OO He could not anticipate the astonishing wealth which that very agriculture would create, nor the minerals that the new territory would produce, far less the bonanza fortunes that would follow with the era of railway building, man and general industrial ex pansion.

View or a southern Negro.

The view, heid oy Booker Wash ingtoh with regard to the mex pedIency of the southern negro depending upon congressional legislation for the i'm provemenC of his condition as citi. zen appear to be spreading in the south, says the Boston Herald. The Rev. E. W. Williams, who edits d negro's paper called the Ethiopian at Abbeville, 5. C., says that meetings at the north to protest az tinst the dis ffanchisement of the colore q people of the south ''mean absolutely nothing but trouble for the negroes of the sou th.n And he adds: That true life and existence which We co, et, and which ali good people desire that the negro should nave, will not, ana can not, come tO hlm by any legislative e enactment or by any constitutional amendments" This writer frankly takes the ground that the giving the negro full suffrage was premature and mistake. In this connection he says: The greatest blow the negro has eyer received. and the one from whose damaging fleets he will never recover, Was given him by congress sional enactinents. 1t was the nncon- dltional imposition of the right of iran chlse, for winch he wa- in no way qualified. No government has eyer aone defenceless people a greater in- jury. We do not consider tha% those states that nave passed amendments to their constitutions abriuglng the privilege of some of the citizens m the exercise of the right of franchise have done the negro half so great an evil as was done him by the national government when it imposed this right upon him."
