MILLIONAIRE HOGG.

In a MIST of nearly 1000 millionaires in
this country, published by the New York
Herald on Sunday last, we did not notice
the name of Ex-Gov. Hogg of Texas. And
yet it is asserted that he is several times
a millionaire He has made all the money
of which he is now possessed within the
last year or two.
When Mr.. Hogg was Governor of the
great state of Texas he was one of the
most pronounced antitrust men in public
life. If we are not mistaken it was while
he was the states chief executive that
the present antitrust laws OF that mighty
commonwealth were enacted. IT would be
interesting 10 know whether he is stin as
hostile to trusts as he was when he was
in public life. A mans point of view
often has a great deal to do with his
views on public questions.
As long as man is poor he sees many
reasons why there should be legislation
calculated to pinch the rich. AS soon as
he gets rich, If he ever does, he looks upon
such legislation as obstructive TO pro
gress. Does Mr.. Hogg stiD have the same
views regarding trusts as he did before he
became the possessor Of 100000
He Is up to his eyes in great schemes
for stil further increasing his already
large fortune, made almost wholly IN the
Beaumont oil district, and it is reported
that he is at the head OF a syndicate for
developing a great iron mine that is situ-
ated a short distance from Beaumont,
but there has been no statement made
yet, as far as we have seen. that connects
him with a trust.
If he is successful in keeping out Of a
trust he will be fortunate. The tendency
towards trusts IS so strong nowadays
that it is almost impossible TO conduct a
large enterprise independently. The com
petition is so great that, even where there
is ample capital, II is generally a losing
business. II Mr. Hogg stands ny his
principles, notwithstanding the fact that
he may lose his fortune IN doing so. he
will deserve any honor in the gift Of the
people Of his state. No doubt his business
career is being watched by those who re-
member his denunciatlon OF trusts when
he was an active politician seeking office.

As soon as Lieut.. Hobson, the hero of
the Merrimac episode-and of one or two
others-completes the labors to which he
has been assigned at the Buffalo EXPOSE
ton. he will, it is said, apply to the Navy
Department for a leave of absence long
enough to permit him to pay visit to
Admiral Cervera at the latters home. says
the New York Times. 1t seems that the
Liseutenant and his sometime caDtor
have kept up a desultory correspondence
ever since the days when both took prom
inent part in the same exciting adventure
and managed, though bitter enemies in
one way, to become personal friends in
another.
When the Spanish officer was promoted
TO the rank of Vice Admiral, Lieut.. Hob
son wrote him congratulatory letter. In
replying, the Admiral urged the Leuten-
ant to cross the sea to Spain, adding, Il
want to give you a taste of Spanish hos
pitality."
Lieut. Hobson's answer will be regarded
by some as characteristic of the young
mans freedom from nervous inadequacy,
for 1t contained an acceptance of the in
vitation, conditioned on the receipt of a
promise that the Admiral would promise
to pay him a return visit at the Alabama
plantation.
This was taken in god part-as, indeed,
it deserved to be-by the fine old fellow
who seems to have all the good qualities
of his race and none of the bad ones:
You know" he wrote in return, that I
am an old man, and my travelling days
are about over. But if you will come to
Spain and accept my hospitality | will
agree to send my son to America to rep
resent me-"
The Lieutenant expressed his content
ment with this arrangement and prom
ised to visit Spain at the first opportun-
ity. The story is pleasant one, not with
out its amusing features

An Old Lady's ScrupIes,

Queen Elizabeth's bag of documents at
the rolls office, the opening of which is
SO greatly to be desired, reminds a cor
respondent of the London Chronicle of a
story of Thomas Carlyle. During the
early part of his literary activity he re-
ceived a letter from an old lady in a re-
mote part of Cornwall, saying that she
had found among the papers of her fam
ily mass of documents and letters deal
ing with life at the court of the Virgin
Queen, and Suggesting that they might
be worth his attention. Carlyle took the
next coach for the west. On arriving at
the lady's house he learned from her that
upon a further examination she had found
the papers of such an improper oharac-
ter that she had felt il her duty to burn
the lot. Carlyle was probably a most un-
pleasant passenger on the return
tourney.

Owe GOOD EFFECT.

! There may be differences of opinion as
( 10 whether such discourses as that which
/ the Rev DR. Parkhurst delivered in his
church last Sunday, on the subject of his
recent trip South with the Robert Ogden
party, do any good, but there was one
thing he said that viii have a good effect
in the North. After declaring that the
white man of the North and the white
man of the South carry themselves to-
wards the negro with just about the same
! amount of Christian consideration he said:
only of the two. the Southern white man
has perhaps. this advantage, that he does
not make quite so flamboyant a pretense
of loving the negro as his Northern con-
frere does. He dislikes the negro and
owns up to it; the white man in the
North dislikes the negro and lies about it.
1t is more difference of frankness than of
admiration"
No doubt the Northerner will resent the
foregoing statement of the good, but
rather eccentric Doctor, but, as a matter
of fact, does it not contain a great deal
of truth? 1t may be that the Northerner
is unconscious of the strong dislike he
feels for the negro, because he is not
brought into contact with him. He looks
upon the negro as a person who Is denied
some right which he ought to have-to
some treatment which he does not get.
He knows nothing, however, about the
negro and doesn't know whether or not
he gets his rights or whether or not the
treatment he receives is what he deserves.
His opinions concerning the negro are
based upon what he reads in the public
prints. But, it is a curious fact that as
soon as he is brought into actual contact
with the negro he conceives a dislike for
him. That this is true is shown by the
fact that negroes are shut out of nearly
all kinds Of employment in the North, and,
as rule, Northern men who come South
to make their homes will have as little to
do with negroes as possible They will
not even employ them as servants if they
can get white help. If we are not mis-
taken there was some sort of regulation
connected with the Fitzgerald Colony, in
the beginning of that settlement, which
shut the negro out of it. Anyway it is a
well known fact that the main reason
why more white people do not settle in
large a percentage of the population. DR..
Parkhurst is right. The Northern man
has no use for the negro where he has
to be brought into contact with him.
But he likes to stand apart and lecture
the Southern man ON his duty to the
negro

A STRONG Recommendation.

A prominent citizen, a former president
of the Chamber of Commerce, was abroad
not very long ago, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. incidentally it may be
stated that while he is not a crank on
teetotalism. he personally abstains from
all alcoholic beverages. While he was in
Berlin he determined to order a suit OF
clothes He went to a tailor who was
well recommended and looked at his
clothes. The tailor was anxious to show
the entire stock, and had something pleas
ant to remark concerning the virtues OF
each piece Finally he paused and held
a bolt of cloth before him with an &C.
static expression on his face
"Ah." he cried chust look at dot. Dere
is a piece dot must exactly suit you. II

A short-skirt campaign has been started
in Germany, and one or two of the prin-
cesses of the blood have given their al
hesdon to it. A Berlin professor recently
examined the sweepings of a concert han
after the audience had left, and found
consumption germs enough ito poison a
regiment Another professor analysed the
trail of his wifes skirt after she had
walked distance on the streets, and
found numerous bad germs. In Dresden a
police regulation has been passed, requir-
ing women to wear skirts that do not
touch the ground on pain of arrest and
fine for disobedience.

DR.. Gaylord of Buffalo. N. Y, an
nounced recently that he had found a kim
ship, or similarity, between the germs Of
cancer and vaccine. Many opponents Of
vaccination at once jump to the conclu-
sion that cancer could be caused by vac
cination. DR., Shrady Of New York says
that a kinship or similarity between the
germs does not mean that the two are
convertible. There is no record Of cancer
having been caused by vaccination. Such
a theory is opposed by the experience Of
the whole medical profession. The two
germs merely have similar form and APP
pearance. The theory heretofore has been
that the cancer germ was vegetable
parasite. DR.. Gaylord finds It to be an
animal life.

When Potter Palmers son Honore be-
came candidate for alderman in Chicago
the newspapers of both that city and
elsewhere poked a good deal of fun at
him. When young Palmer was elected he
went Immediately to work TO see what he
could do for the benefit of his ward One
OF the things he has already accomplished
is the providing Of a playground for the
children, with swings and other apparatus
for making the little folks happy. In a
crowded city, a playground is a luxury
not often enjoyed by poor children. Al
