RoCKEFELLER's WEALTH.

Since the New York papers have be-
gun to talk of rivalry in the financial
world between ]. Pierpont Morgan and
John D. Rockefeller the most marvel
Gus stories have been put in circulation
about the latter's wealth,
A year or so ago it was said that he
was the richest man in the world. At
that time it was estimated that he
could turn what he owned into cash
and have $500, 000, 900. Then it was
thought that certain great deals indi-
Gated that he had more wealth than
that. and so IL was said that he had
as much as $500, 900, 900. Since the
statement that he and Mr.. Morgan are
rivals for the control of Wall street
the assertion is made on the author
ity of a 'well-known finaneier" that
he is worth at least 81 900. 100000
OF course there is no way of verify
ing this assertion. Mr.. Rockefeller
himself is not likely to tell the world
how much he is worth. 1t is certain
however, that he does not return 81
Ooo, O0O. 900 for taxation. Indeed, it is
doubtful IL he returns 81 900, 900.
But he is q very rich man. There is
no doubt about that. He is so much
richer than his tax returns indicate
that it rs not to be wondered at that
there is a steadily growing hostility
against great fortunes and a noticeable
disposition to md way to keep pri-
vate wealth within certain prescribed
bounds. II Mr.. Rockefeller has a for
tune of 81 900 600 the tax rate OF
New York city could be reduced very
considerably by assessing his property

Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson
wishes to head list of subscriptions to
fund to purchase a loving cup for
Admiral Cervera. The Spanish Admiral
is a fine and gallant old sailor; but
would he like to have a silver cup
from the American people? 1t may be
doubted. He. in common with all other
Spauiards, regards the war of 1898 as
monstrous and criminal Holding that
opinion, would he submit to being pat
ronized by the victors and the humilia-
tors of his country in the manner sug-
gested?

The British war Offices utter failure
to shut off the Daily Mails source of
official news from South Africa is an
incident going to illustrate that fact
that public opinion governs in Great
Britain. Not even the government of
the great monarchy dares to muzzle
the press and withhold the facts from
the people. Had an editor under the
reign of George III offended the gov
eminent as Harmsworth of the Mail
did the other day, the chances are that
he would have been put into prison and
his plant confiscated or destroyed. But
the day for that sort of thing where

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: THE zeal and success with
which Federal officials have proceeded
against Carter finds a curious foil in
the utter inability of the government
to bring to justice the contractors who
were the head and front of the con-
spiracy and the chief recipients of it's
profits"
on the same subject the Baltimore
American (Rep.) says: ''Of not nearly
so much importance as the punish
ment of Carriers conspirators is this
property. Two or three men are
known to have obtained the lions
share OF Carriers stealings. Their guilt
was proved in Carter's trial. their
identity is known their whereabouts is
not secret; yet the government is
compelled to confess it cannot punish
them. Such a thing as an imaginary
state line stands in the way. 1t is
pitiable that this government must
confess it's inability to punish these
men, but such a confession must be
made"
The Galveston (Tex.) News (Dem.)
says: "A soldier from the Philippines
was Frustrated by heat in Missouri a
few days ago. Prominent expansion
politicians Of that state have all along
been declaring that the climate of the
Philippines is too hot for the white
man, hence that we are pouring out
blood and wealth in vain" But this
soldier lived under the Philippine sun
for two years to be killed by Missouri
hot weather.
The Baltimore American says: "Mr.
KEENAN, may console himself for his
expulsion from Russia by rejecting
that he is in the proud position of a
man of whom an entire nation is
afraid. though his only weapon is his
pen. But It shows what sort of a
weapon the pen is nowadays. II is the
one with which the real battles Of the
EOrl9 are fought and won.'

Sir Thomas Upton is not the only
owner of a first-class yacht to have
trouble with his crew 1t is stated that
the captains of the Constitution. the
Columbia and the Independence have
had extreme difficulty in holding their
crews together and keeping them in
the best possible condition for quick
and accurate work. The difficulty with
the American crews seems TO be princi-
pally too much liberality on the part of
the owners. who scatter money and
beer and special privileges among the
men after each race. The consequence
is that the sailors look upon the whole
matter as great frolic, and leave their
yachts at the most inopportune times
and to the great annoyance of the cap
tains. And the number of first-class
sailors is so limited that the captains
cannot enforce discipline by discharges.
1t is said that some of the captains
have informed their owners that they
must not be so free with their money.
