Denver (Col) Post.
No such simple. safe and inexpensive
method of mail remittances has ever been
devised, and its advantages to the masses
of the people are so many and so great that
the only wonder is that there should be any
opposition to the plan. Postmaster Gen
eral Payne favors the scheme, as does also
Auditor Castle. of the Treasury Depart
ment. The utility and simplicity of the
post check has appealed to nearly every
body who has given the scheme any
thought. 1t has the Endorsement of finan-
cial experts and of business men who are
dependent on the mails for the receipt or
dispatch of money, particularly in small
sums, to a considerable extent 1t ought
to impress Congress favorably, for il is in
the interest of the people. Such being the
case, Congress ought not to pay too much
heed 10 those who are opposing the intro
duction of this form of money on no more
worthy grounds than that il will give them
a little more work and trouble. The pend
ing bill is clearly one in the interest of the
masses, and the indications arc that its
adoption cannot ultimately be prevented.
Citizens should request their representa-
tives in Congress to see that more con-
venient money is furnished the people.

FIFTEEN MILLIONAIRES.
England Has No More, and Ireland
Has but One.

London Mail.
There are only fifteen millionaires in
Great Britain and one IN Ireland-at least
this would appear to be so from the official
income tax returns just issued
According to the returns these sixteen
persons make the sum total of the indi-
viduals in this country who enjoy incomes
Of over 950,0OO, and this is about the
millionaire" level.
1t is true that there are 1S4 people with
incomes of between $4,000 and $4,000, and,
of course, considerable number of these
are just on the line across which they
would be cassed as millionaires. Incomes
of between &5,OOO and 10000 are enjoyed
by 424 people.
To be an assessor of income tax one needs
a heart of flint. To him the world is
Dantesque Inferno, filled with dolorous
1t is always, 1.-The worst year l remem-
ber," or Hard times, very hard times"
every year sees the nation ION its last
financial legs"
Unfortunately the great majority of the
smaller income people have no oppor-
tunity of pleading poverty. They are peo-
pie with salaries, and the income tax man
has access to the telltale wages list. But
the millionaire is not salaried man. For
the most part he pays on an assessment
provided by himself and the above-quoted
figures give one 10 think
Down the scale the numbers gradually
increase until of incomes between e16O and
600 there are no fewer than 13S, f56; while
of smaller incomes not exempt from taxa
ton there are 112.397.
But there is one singular exception to
this steady graduation. There are compare
lively few incomes of between $500 and
G900. the number being 1859 in Great
Britain, whereas the hgures Immediately
above and below are 1885 and 2.64l.
There appears, indeed, TO be a strange
fatality about this particular size Of in
come for we find that IL Is rare, not only
in the case of private persons, but also OF
firms, public companies and municipal cor
porations.
The return gives startling evidence of
the lalse proportion of the burden which
is borne by the comparatively Door man
or incomes between e160 and a2Oo the
gross amount assessed is eos 933. 5l3: of the
incomes between &100 and $500 the gross
amount assessed Is G2f.2l56l4 But OF in
comes between e1,0o0 and $4,000 the gross
amount assessed was only GS252 52s
1t Is interesting to note that there is IN
Great Britain eighty-six firms with an in
come of over e50o00. but not one i'm Ire
land: and that in Great Britain there are
Cos public companies. and in Ireland nine

PRESIDENTS APPEAL uNHEEDED.

As must have been expected when the
spirit of the mine operators was mani
tested in early dispatches yesterday, the
conference called by the President has
come to naught. The coal operators will
not yield point. They have refused
board of arbitration to be appointed by the
President. They will not recognize Presi-
dent Mitchell any labor organization.
They profess that they will listen to the
grievances of any miner. but the whole
country may perish with cold, whole in
dustries may be closed. and suffering may
become acute and general, but the man
ayers of these coal companies will not yield
organization which in this part of the
country has been highly beneficial to
miners. mineowners and the public.
What is the next move? The President
can do nothing, as he has stated, and as
all intelligent people know. until Congress
shall have taken action. Even then it Is a
matter of grave doubt If Congress has any
remedy, since its authority Is confined to
the regulation OF commerce between the
States. If the mine owners will not take
steps to mine coal no interstate-commerce
law will be likely to reach them. Long
ago Pennsylvania might have proceeded
against the coal-carrying railroads for vio-
lation of their charters, which prohibit
those companies from owning mines Penn
sylvania might find warrant to take
possession of the mines and operate them
But the President, representing the Nation
has done all that he could do.

President Roosevelt's statement at the
opening of the conference yesterday was
strong presentation of the rights of the

ordinate their personal interests to the
general veal. From this point of view the
statement could hardly have been put
more strongly, but 1t failed to change the

his powers 10 affect the stock market for
