DIPLOMATS MAY RESIGN.
Two AmbnssadOrships Likely to BE
come Vacant shortly

The President will doubtless have at his
disnosaI in the near future two important
foreign missions. the ambassadorship to
Germany and the ambassadorship TO
Italy.
It has been reported in diplomatic cir
cles for several months past that Andrew
D White was contemplating resigning his
post as United States Ambassador to Ger
many because Of his advanced age and
failing health, and it is now expected that
the tragic death of his son in Syracuse
Just a few days ago will preciDitate his
retirement from the diplomatic service
Mr.. White is now in his sixty-ninth
year, and has been long in the public SER
vice. He was first an attache OF the
United States Legation at St. Petersburg.
and in 1871 was special United States
Commissioner to the Republic of Santo
Domingo. He was then made commits
sioner to the Paris Exposition of 1878, and
in the following year re-entered the diplo-
matte service as United States Minister
to Germany, which post he held for two
years.
Mr.. White was appointed Ambassador
to Germany four years ago. the mission
having been raised to that rank. In Feb
ruary. 1893. he was selected as member
OF the Peace Commission which met at
The Hague, and was chairman of the del
egation.
The State Department has not yet been
advised of Mr.. Whites intention of re-
signing but it is the current belief in
diplomatic circles that he Will shortly re-
tire. He is now spending the summer at
Sassnitz, on the Island of Reugen, in the
Baltic Sea.
The State Department las not yet re-
ceived any intimation of his intention TO
return to this country because Of the
suicide of his son, although il is probable
that he viii soon ask for a leave of alb
sence.
It is also reported shat II. Won J.. Meyer.
the Boston millionaire. who was not long
ago given the mission to Italy, cOntem-
plates resigning. Mr.. Meyer has had no
diplomatic experience, and, in fact, had
not held any public Office when he was
named as successor as Ambassador TO
| General Draper. II is said that Mr.. Meyer
has not found the work of an Ambassa-
dor wholly cOngeniaL He desired the
honor Of the post, however and now that
| it has been accorded him. il IS said that
he is willing, and in fact, anxious. to be
relieved
Myron r Herrick, the Cleveland mil
lionaire and intimate friend of the Presi-
dent for many years, is said TO be slated
for one OF these vacancies. He has re-
Gently denied. however, that he is a can
didate, and has stated that the choice Of
either post had been previously rendered
him and that he had declined the offer.

HE Is THE FIRST MAN WHO
EVER CURED CONSUMPTION.
Dr.. Edward Koch is IN Europe in the Inter

New York and many other cities.

No one denies the fact that Prof. Koch,
of Germany. cures consumption
The Government of his country employs
him at an immense salary to cure con-
sumption in the public hospitals.
He is the only man who ever did cure
this fatal disease. His new system
which he is constantly improving. for
curing consumption by the use of new
tubereuIine is here in Washington at the
Koch Lung Cure at 6z7 E Street north
west
The great professor in his years OF study
discovered a medicine called tubeTculine.
which he injects into the circulation; also
By combining it with healing oils. it is
thrown into fine vapors BY the use Of the
Koch inhalation apparatus.
The vapors of these healing oils are
easily breathed into the air tubes. causing
the lungs to be entirely filed with them.
and the lungs are healed as If by magic.
The vapors are composed of antiseptics,
disinfectants. and the great Koch tuber-
culine, and the effect is TO kill the disease
germs and expel them: in fact. no form
of germ life can live when thoroughly
under the influence OF the Koch inhaIa-
tion.

HEAT FATALITIES IN NEW YORK
Nearly One Thousand Denths Be
tween June 20 and July 6.

NEw YORK, July 9-The Bureau OF
Vital Statistics has issued a report on
the number of deaths from heat last week.
The figures cover the period of the heated
spell practically, and exhibit a total that
is startling The report does not agree
with the police reports on the same sub
ject. because the Board of Health dis
eliminates between deaths that were
caused by heat alone and deaths that were
caused by the heat aggravating other dis
eases.
In the entire city the total number Of
deaths due to heat alone from June % at
noon to July at noon was $50. OF these
esq occurred In Manhattan and The Bronx
254 In Brooklyn, "a in Queens. and II in
Richmond.
Never before IN the history OF the Board
Of Health have so many deaths occurred
in the same period Of time from heat
The nearest approach to ii was in the
week ended August Is. 1895. when in the
bOroughs OF Manhattan and The Bronx
there were 671 deaths, eighteen less than
for last week. In the corresponding week
of last year there were but eight deaths

NEW YORK. July 9.-The will of Albert

would get more than the children, but as
TO the proportions of the division Mayor
Johnson would not say. Neither would he

HAVE WE A PRIVILEGED CLASS?
BY j. B. JOHNSTON.

A privilege is "a peculiar benefit or
advantage; right or immunity not en-
joyed by others OF by all-special enjoy
ment of good, or exemption from an
evil or burden, and the privileges of
which we complain are those conferred
by government in violation of funda-
mental principles.
Those who enjoy privileges belong to
privileged class, and our proposition is,
that the wishes and interests of this
class are paramount in the councils and
in the administration of our govern
ment.
If there were no privileged classes in
this country, there would be no private
property in land. There might be
private property in everything else, as
now, that is, in the products of our
land, in things produced, extracted or

A PRIVILEGED CLASS.


The following pessimistic contribu-
ton from Mr.. j. B. Johnston, of 5754
Washington avenue, Chicago, The Con-
SENTATIVE prints with great satisfaction.
1t demonstrates thoroughly we'll the
fact that there is privileged class in
this country. There always will be a
privileged class, so long as some men
have better intellectual ability by in
heritance and better development there
of by schooling and discipline, than
other men.
Quoting the definition given in the
article of Mr. Johnston, this privilege is
"a peculiar benefit or advantage that
is to say, it is "a peculiar benefit and
advantage" to be stronger Drained and
better developed intellectually than your
neighbor-than any other man with
whom you come in competition for
daily subsistence
The man who has the best brain and
who has developed the same, has "a
right and all immunity" not enjoyed by
feeble, minded and undeveloped mortals.
Education, together with inherited
ability, "exempts men from evil and
from burden" 1t provides the means
of obtaining subsistence and acquiring
great wealth by mental efforts.
Those who have not intellectual gifts
and development, are compelled to ac-
quire livelihood and maintenance by
manual labor.
In the gold fields Of Alaska, the latter
class would enjoy privileges and advan-
tages over the former. The capacity for
physical effort, manual labor, in open
ing up new countries, in developing
great mining industries and in most of
the methods for the material develop
ment of the earth, has "an advantage
and peculiar benefit" and a strenuous
privilege over and above mere mind
culture and brain strength.

private property in land itself; for the
man who has an estate in land has
privilege, a right or immunity, not en-
joyed by others, or by all.
He may inclose it and exclude his fell
lows from any share in it's advantages
or possibilities.
He has the power to sell and convey
these privileges to another or to others,
to them, their heirs, executors, admins
traitors, OF assigns, forever, so runs the
deed.
He has also the right to buy more
land, all he can pay for, and to associ-
ate himself with other land holders, for
the purpose of increasing the value of
his holding, that is the extent to which
he may lay tribute upon the commun-
ity, the amount which he may compel
his fellow men to pay for the opportun-
ity to use such portion of the earth all
in violation of the equal rights of his
fellow men.
1t is no answer to this averment that
men and nations have commonly treated
land as subject to private ownership and
control although this will not be con-
ceded). The question is, does land
ownership create privileged class?
Nine men, it is said, control (or did
last fall controD the anthracite coal
fields of Pennsylvania, and with them
the welfare, if not the existence, of
100000 miners.
Nine men fix the price of this coal for
the whole country. Nine men say how
much shall be mined, or whether any
shall be mined. Among nine men, and
the others represented by them, are
divided the profits which result from
this "right or immunity not enjoyed by
others or by ALL"
Do these men belong to privileged
class or not?
Since this article was begun, there has
appeared in the public prints, notice of
similar consolidation of the soft coal in
terests of Illinois and Western Indiana.
Before the first of September" it is
said, "all of these companies will have
been gathered into one organization
similar to the United States Steel Cor
poration. The capitalization will be
enormous, probably second only to that
of the big steel trust"
The above extract precedes notice of
the acquisition of the Ohio and West
Virginia fields.
What will be the condition of the
miner when the bituminous coal fields
of these four states shall be under one
management, as contemplated, and who
will be chargeable with this condition?

GOVERNOR DESIRES
SEVERAL CHANGES.
n the Constitution of State as Now
Exists.
FITS REASONS ARE PRESENTED
Discussion Of Public Property Fund
Just Row Brings Up Question
Present Law Intended to Prevent
Carpet Baggers LoOting,

Gov. Gambler faYors o constitutional
convention for the state of Georgia.
The present question regarding the
use of the public property fund brings
the question more into prominence,
The section Of the constitution which
prohibits the use of the public proper
ty fund was framed, so the governor
says, when the state was overrun with
carpet baggers, and it was the desire
of the member of the convention to so
tie mp the money of the state that the
carpet baggers could not use it,
When the Legislature meets next
fall it is very likely that in the annual
message of the chief executive to that
body there will be incorporated a
lengthy recommendation for a consti-
tutional convention. One of main
needs of the convention, as the Gov
ernor says, is to get the salaries of the
state officials raised.
