TIED UP IN DIAMONDS.
Millions of Dollars Lying Idle In the
Strong Boxes of Royalty and
the Wealthy.

| 1t Is astonishing how much OF the
worlds wealth is locked up N diamonds,
things which are of no earthly use 10
any body except for the mere purpose OF
ornamentation. The money spent Tor
diamonds every year would build meets
of peace and war, equip and pay armies
almost wipe out poverty In the CITY
slums, endow hospitals and schools,
build railroads and create great libraries.

carpet made entirely of diamonds ana
pearls all matched and blended. MANY
churches, too, in the old world are r,ch
in diamonds. The largest diamond IN
the world, the Excelsior, found at Jag

a special syndicate has been formed to

ice at Windsor castle is valued at 81 ,OoO,-

tail, there is valued at 100000. In the
treasure-house of the sultan at Constan-
tinople are tons of gold plate and great
golden bowls filed to the brim with
rare pearls. Gold in every form which
the ingenuity of man has been able to
invent is scattered about In splendid con-

BRITAIN'S MONEY CHANGERS.
eign Countries and Colonies Over
Six million Dollars.

According to Great Britain's official
statistical abstract, the total amount Of
British money loaned to India, the
colonies and foreign countries In 1902
was So 092 .S5S SO0-a big row Of figures,
whose full meaning is not easily
grasped
They mean that the British people,
numbering 100000, have invested the
savings Of centuries in lands beyond the
seas to the extent Of about sl07 per cap
tia for every man, woman and child in
the three islands
One-half Of all British investments
abroad are estimated to be In foreign
countries. The interest paid yearly to
The British people on their foreign and
colonial investments Is stated at 1904
$40 900.
This fact explains why British imports
so greatly exceed exports year after
year, and still the country Increases its
wealth The foreign debtors make good
the difference.

HERE are a few actual facts which
are worthy of thought A short time
ago a man at Manitowoc asked for bids
on hald coal screenings and received a
bid of 81. Is per ton, Some time there
after the same party asked for bids
Oshkosh and one of the bidders that put
in bid at Manitowoc put in bid at
Oshkosh for 81 % per ton. While this
is strange enough the fact that the coal
is originally shipped to Manitowoc and
from there to Oshkosh and after paying
freight is then sold 50 cents per ton
cheaper is marvellous indeed. The
freight rates evidently work in an in
verse way in this case.

same charges that. Whitehead had dis

and his supporters say all manner Of
evil things not against the democrats
mind you but against the men of their

equally gracious things about LaFol-

we turn them both out and see what
we can do, we couldn't possibly be any
worse.

Postmaster General Payne, that no
torious Wisconsin, politician, is to give
up his position and came back home.
From the day he entered the cabinet
the postal trouble began and after being
unable to even partially explain himself
out of his mix up in Delaware it will be
considered best for him to retire on
account of his health. That is way
we have in Wisconsin whenever a
a student gets fired from the univer
sity he leaves on account of his health.
The president it is stated is willing to
accept the resignation and said that h.
believed he made a mistake in selecting
Mr.. Payne. We think 50.

and not as butter yet there is no ap-
parent good reason why it .honld
be taxed out of existence. Oleomarga-
rine is perfectly healthy and much
cheaper and often much better than
butter The makers Of good butter will
never have the imitation TO contend
with, good butter is product that
will always claim its price, and protect
itself, but why the poor, evil smelling
stuff should be held on the market by
keeping oeomargarine off with tax is
for reason unbeknown to u. Many
a person would be enabled to eat clean
sweet oleomargarine on his bread, who
now uses butter fit for the soap manu-
facturers only. BY giving oleomarga-
rine a little freedom it will actually
be of service to great many makers of
butter They will not then be able to
sell the poor butter and so be compelled
to make butter of IA higher standard.

For the present the Panama Canal
Treaty is dead the time set for its
adoption by Columbia having expired.
The president now has the power to
enter into negotiation with Nicaragua
but considering that canal by way of
the Nicaragua route would be great
deal longer than via Panama and conse-
quently require II greater amount Of
money for its construction it is very
doubtful whether the president will do
anything, most likely he VIII wait until
congress Conyenes and then leave the
matter to their consideration The
Panama route would be great deal
shorter and clearer route, but at the

The cross of ST. Andrew, which the
car has Just presented to Gen. Prince
Louis Napoleon, has very remarkable
popularity attaching to it. All those
who are decorated with this order have
the right once In their lives to demand
pardon for Russian subject who has
been condemned to death. The ungra-
cious part Of this privilege is that 1t by
no means follows that the condemned
man will be Teprieved; but, at any rate
the poor wretch has chance, for his
case is thus brought directly to the no
tice of the car, without the Intervention
OF any officials, and, unless there Is some
thing political about his crime, the
probability is that he will escape with his
life.-London Sketch

AMERICAN INVESTMENTS.
Large Sums Placed in Mexico for the
Development of Immense
ReAUurceH.

When United States Consul General
Barlow reported to the Washington gov
eminent that $500, 100000 of American
money was invested here, states the Mex
lean Herald, local critics raised the OBJ
lection that In reality this was In great
part British capital, and that the
Americans were only figureheads In en-
terprises really owned across the At
lantic."
If this were so, why do we find the
London Statist, In It's last issue to hand,
saying that the measures for stabilizing
the peso here "do not much concern
us?" And the London paper continues:
Our government naturally will cooper
ate with the United States government
as far as it possibly can do this as In
other matters but its interest in the
question excepting so far as we all desire
to aid the United States where we can,
is but small The proposed change In
China Is different. That Is matter In
which British interests are largely con-
cerned-Quite as much concerned, evil
IDENTIFY as American interests"
The Statist Is well-informed journal
on British investments abroad, and sure
ly It would know If American invest
ments here were but another name for
large placements Of British capital, To
Mexico 1t matters little whence comes
the money required for the development
Of her immense resources, although 1t
Is to be said that the active participa-
tiQn of Americans in business undertake
ings here tends to keep the two coun-
tries In close and friendly relations.
Within a few weeks heavy invest
ments Of American caHtal have been
made in Mexican mines, investments OF
really great sums Of money, and though
in one deal London is supposed to have
an interest the greater part OF the funds
employed have been raised In New York
and other American cities.
