When the estate of an American
capitalist reaches $30.OU0GO0 every
body in the United States knows who
he Is and his name is familiar wher-
ever newspapers are printed and read.
In Mexico, however. it is different.
There are men in Mexico whose for
tunes run around the $5OOOO,OOO mark
and are hardly known out of their
own states. One of these is Don Luis
TcrranZas of Chihuahua, formerly
governor of that state. He is the lnrg-
est individual land and cattle owner
i'll the world. 1t would surprise the
people of Massachusetts to know that
one man in the southern republic was
the sole owner of more land than is
in that commonwealth. They would
hardly believe that one man in Mexico
could supply the whole city of Boston
with beef from his own ranch and
never exhaust his herd
Don Luis TprraZaS is sole owner of
one ranch in the state of Chihuahua
that comprises 1S.OOO.OU acres of land
and has 1O,OpD.0ob acres in other parts
of the republic. on these ranches an
average of IIOOtU head of cattle. 2OO,-
600 sheep and 100000 horses Craze the
year around. He markets over 5000
head of cattle every year and Il third
as many sheep. This great ranch be-
gins at the city limits of chihuahua
and extends 10 miles north toward
El PasO. 1t is over 100 miles wide
and extends into the richest part of
the Sierra Madre mountains. Over
100000 acres of his estate is in good
state OF cultivation and is well i'm
proved.
The TcrreZaS estate is estimated at
\ 500. 900, Mexican money. Besides
phis ranch interests he is the heaviest

and controls the Chihuahua woolcn
mills. flour factory, packing company.
clothing factory, brewery and street
car system, besides being one of the
heavy owners of the chihuahua 4 Pa
citic railroad.
With all this colossal fortune Cen
cral TerraZaS lives modest life. He
has an office and private bank in his
palatial residence in Chihuahua, where
twenty clerks are employed to attend
to his affairs. He seldom travels pre-
fcrring to take Il trip to his ranch t"
touring the country, and has visited
the United States but twice in his life.

DRUNkARDS' EXCUSE GONE.
Inebriety Is an Acquired, Not Heredi-
tary, Disease.

The drunkard can no longer lay his
inebriety to bibulous ancestors. The
man who drinks to excess cannot
claim public indulgence on the theory
that he inherited a taste for alcoholic
stimulants from his parents. A crav-
ing for drink, in fact, cannot be trans
mitted from parents to children.
These are the conclusions of a COM
mittee on inebriety selected by the
London Medical Society to investigate
the relation of heredity to inebriety.
The committee was composed Of five
physicians, two surgeons. professor
of bacteriology. an army surgeon and
five general practitioners. After
eighteen months Of investigation OF all
phases of drur -enness under all sorts
of conditions and environments the
committee has made a report which
completely upsets many of the favorite
notions of temperance reformers and
sociOlogiSts.
If man having no inborn tendency
to excess, yet acquires drunken hablts,
his progeny are no more IN danger
than are those of his neighbor. says
the report The whole question of
drunkenness is matter of environ
ment and an innate capacity to enjoy
the eXhilaration that comes from alco-
hoic indulgence. II is not denied that
drunken parents who become thus
mentally and physically weak are liza
BILE to have children weak in body and
feeble in mind. But instances of in
ebriated fathers having sons who
found no pleasure in alcoholic indui
gence are numberless.

Scandal of Extravaganza.
Bryan's Commoner.

Bryans Commoner
The New York Press apologies for the "scan-
dal of extravaganza" of the Republican con-
gress, but says: cit is doubtless too late for
the party managers to save the party reputation
in this respect of lavish appropriation" The
Cleveland Leader says: "Patriotism does not
mean extravaganza. Only few years ago,
the expense of the government in all of its de-
partmens amounted to about S I 900, 900 day,
while now more than that sum is expended for
soldiers, sailors, pensions, guns and ships"
The New York Press and the Cleveland
Leader are both Republican papers. What
right have they to criicise Republican admin
istration of public affairs? Do they not know
that our national dinner-pal is so full, and that
the confidence in the wisdom and integrity of
the Republican patty has been so thoroughly
expressed by the American people, that 'the
king can do no wrong"? To be sure, it is diff
fcult for plain, everyday Americans to become
accustomed to the wild extravaganza now prac-
tced by Republican leaders, but are we not to
accept whatever our "ruler" may do as being
the best fo1 our interests and our welfare?

WILL BE AN EMPIRE.

AS we stated last week, we shall quote what
President Arthur T. Hadley, of Yale Univer-
sity, said in an address at the old South church
in Boston, on the 10th inst:
ave shall have an emperor in Washington
within twenty-five years unless we can create
public sentiment which, regardless of legsla'
ton, will regulate the trus
"How do things stand as regards the needs
of public conscience in this coutry to-day?
The American standard of personal morality is,
on the whole, high, as compared with other
nations and other ages. We have developed
personal virtues through individual conscience
very we'll. But our actions in politics and in
social and business sense prove our moral stand
ards in those directions desperately low.
."There is an appalling contrast between our
methods OF dealing with each other as individ'
uals and the low standard observed in dealings
between different parts of the whole organiza-
ton Of society.
"Comparison used to prevent a man from
practicing great extortion upon his neighbor,

trusts, and the imperialistic spirit developed in
politics, the general development of the princi-
pie of trusts will become appalling unless we
cultivate higher standard of morality than
ever before-legislaton will never protect us
from the evils of trusts, of deteriorated politics
The essence of trust is that you must trust the
head of it to exercise his power wisely or abuse
1t according to the kind of conscience he pos
sesses.
"Trusts have got to be regulated by public
sentiment, and that public sentiment is not
merely the opinion of any particular part of
the whole people, but is a readiness to accept,
IN behalf of the community, restrictions indie.
pendent of the question whether you or shall
be personally harmed by these restrictions.
"You say that the community will not be
governed by the principle? We must expect
that the community will, however, for the al
tentative is an emperor in Washington within
twenty-five years. Public affairs can no longer
be played as game, but must be directed by
an intelligent and active public conscience.
Individual effort is helpless and hopeless"
In order to keep up its reputation for lying,
the Kansas City Journal denies that President
Hadley gave utterance to the above, but the
address appeared in all of the great journals of
the country, including those of Boston, so the
Journals denial will have no weight.
