WEALTHIEST ROYAL FAMILY.
ReiGninE House y Russia Has LarE-
est Estates and incomes Among
All the Rulers.

The Russian reigning house has, it
is said, greater wealth than that OF
any other royal family in the world.
In Rev. II. n. Hutchinson's Living
Rulers of Mankind" it is said that the
minimum revenue the czar derives
from the crown and state domains is
estimated at $780, 600 a year. More
that 40 members of the imperial farm
lily not in the direct line of succession
draw revenues from landed estates
set aside for that purpose by Emper-
or Paul J. To these estates is given
the name Of the imperial appanages;
they cover over an area of 100000
acres. larger than Scotland. and the
total income derived from them is $1O.-
100000. Before the emancipation of
the serfs $4,000 peasants were at
tached to these vast estates. and were
in a sense the property Of their own
ers.
Another item of the vast wealth of
the imperial family, we are further
told, is the quantity Of Jewels its mem
bers possess.
The Russians love gems. Serfs have
toiled to fashion these wondrous jew
els; emirs and shahs. the vassals of
the czar, have laid them at his feet.
The English ambassadors daughter
said laughing, that when Alexander
III. presented the various grand
duchesses, ladies Of the imperial fam
lily. with most costly jewels on the oc-
casion Of his coronation they thought
nothing Of the gifts, but tossed them
carelessly in a drawer. To ladies so
plentifully supplied with pearls and
diamonds a fresh necklace or tiara
was a thing of small account.-Cas-
sier's. Magazine.

Means a Perpetual Debt.

We produce below the exact
text of the proposed amendment
to the constitution relating to the
certificates of Indebtedness:
BE it resolved by the Senate, the
House of Representatives, con-
curing therein, as follows:
That at the general election to
be held on the Tuesday next fol
lowing tho first Monday in Novem-
ber, 1902, the following amend
ment to the constitution of Mis-
souri, shall be submitted to the
qualified voters of said state, to
wit: That article \ of the consti-
tuition Of the state of Missouri be
amended by adding thereto Il new
section. to be known as section
twenty six (26), as follows:
Section 26. All certificates of
Indebtedness of the state to the
''public school fund" and to the
seminary fund" are hereby con
tirmed rs sacred obi igations of the
state to said funds and they shall
he renewed as they mature for such
period of time and at such rate of
interest as may be provided for by
law. The general assembly v shall
have the power to provide ty law
for the issuing certificates to the
public school fund and seminary
fund us the money belonging to
said funds accnmuIates in the state
treasury; Provided, that after the
outstanding bonded Indebtedness
has been extingnished, all money
accumnlating in the state treasury
for above named purposes shall be
invested in registered county muni-
cipal, or school district bonds of
of this state of not less than par
value. Whenever the state bond
ed debt is extinguished or a sum
sufficient therefor has been receiv-
ed, there shall be levied and collect
cd in lieu of the ten cents on th
one hundred dollars valuation now
provided for by the statutes, an
annual tax not to exceed three
cents on the one hundred dollars
to pay the acruing interest on all
the certificates of Indebtedness, the
proceeds of which tax shall be paid
into the state treasury and appro-
priated and paid out the specific
purposes herein mentioned.
1t will be noticed that that part of
the proposed section which refers
to the renewal of the certificates as
they fall due is mandatory and not
discretionary. The language of
the text says that the certificates
SHALL be renewed as they fall
due, and no other construction can
be placed upon the words. 1t is
evidently intended that they should
not be otherwise construed. Gov
ernor Dockery is said to have stat
ed that if he thought the new
amendment meant perpetual tax
he would vote against it, but he
maintains that under the amend
ment, if adopted, the certificates
may be redeemed at some future
time. The amendment confers no
such authority, however, and the
Governor must be familiar enough
with its language to be aware of
this fact. If he ever made the
statement attributed to him, and
we may infer that he did, since he
advocates the adoption of the
amendment, he resorts to mendacity
with the obvious intention of mis-
leading the voters. Study the text
of the amendment for yourself,
and vote it down upon your OWL
Interpretation of its meaning.

Mr.. Bryan Steering Off.

When the Hon. james Nj.
Griggs reads the current issue OF
Mr.. W. j. Bryan's Commoner he
will doubtless experience Il severe
shock.
AS chairman of the Democratic
Congressional committee, MIR.
Griggs has made all his prcpara-
tions to carry on the present cam
on the theory that the tariff is the
smother Of the trusts" and that
the only way to curb the trusts is
to abolish the tariff. On that
theory Mr.. Griggs is expecting
large contributions from trusts to
his campaign fund, published an
elaborate campaign text book, and
has sent out his spellbinders.
Now comes Mr.. Bryan and pooh
poohs Mr.. Grigg's theory, and
holds Mr.. Griggs' text book up to
public riAicule.
''Public attention." says Mr..
Bryan, with evident reference to
the efforts Of Mr.. Griggs. ''is now
attracted to the free list as rem
edy for trusts. That is the only
remedy the reorganizers"-that is
Mr.. Griggs and his trust friends
have proposed. Its insufficiency
will soon become apparent"
''It must not be put forward"
adds Mr.. Bryan, in the way of
warning, ''as complete remedy
for the trust evil. If Democrats
propose tariff reduction as a COM
plete remedy for the trusts they
will he met by two unanswerable
arguments: First, that trust
can exist without Il tariff; second,
that there are trusts in England, Il
free-trade country"
"Democrats," says Mr.. Bryan
again, repeating his warning,
''who rely upon the free trade list
as complete remedy or as the
only remedy for trusts will be on
the defensive"
Mr.. Bryan's leading article,
covering more than the first page
of his Commoner, while ostensibly
upon another subject, is really an
effort, as the foregoing extracts
show, to get as far as possible from
the policy of tariff revision as a
remedy for trusts. Mr.. Bryan
virtually says: ''Let the tariff
alone"
With Senator Carmack vigor-
ously protesting against any at
tack upon the tariff in Tennessee,
and with Mr.. Bryan sheering off
from the tariff issue, and warning
the Democratic party that it will
be ION the defensive" confronted
by" "unanswerable arguments" and
defeated if it clings to the free-list
remedy for trusts, the lot of Hon.
James NJ. Griggs is indeed an I'M
happy one. His whole plan of
campaign falls fiat, and he has
nothing to show his trust friends
for their money but Il lot of useless
literature.
Unless Mr.. Griggs and his trust
friends shall speedily find some
way to chain up Mr.. Bryan-to
make him face the music-to stop
his sheering off from the free-trade
policy-to compel him to swallow
without grimaces the trust cure
for trusts-Mr. Griggs might as
