The few enormously wealthy Amer
lean families of which the head en-
joys an assured annual income of
more than si,Ooo,0oo may be regard
ed as representing in the American
republic what the royalties" repre-
sent in England, says Ainslee's Maga-
zine. Popular phraseology, indeed,
gives them, with unconscious fitness,
quasi-royal titles in styling them
"oil kings" money kings" and min
ing kings" Most of them live as few
real kings can afford to live, and
they receive from their immediate en-
tourage something of the obseouious
difference which in monarchial lands
is given to those who are of the roy
al blood. Coming down n grade, we
have the somewhat larger group of
those whose incomes range from ST.
100000 down to 100000. These indi.
viduals, as class, are equivalent of
the British peerage-the 5000, 900
magnate having, let US say, the rela-
tive rank of duke, while the Others
represent descending scale Of dig
nifty and are respectively the equals
of marquises. earls, viscounts and
oarons Then come what we may
style in British terminology the "up-
per middle classes"-persons with
incomes ranging from 100000 to
$4,000. Social classification ends
with the final group of families whom
we may collectively describe as the
lower middle classes" having in.
comes Of not more than 10000 and
not less than 5000.

WHERE WAS KELLEY?

Once again THE STAR desires to ask:
Where is Kelley? Last week in the
House the bill to submit constitutions
al amendment exempting 5000 worth
of any kind of personal property, in
stead of the 500 worth of household
furniture which is now exempt was
twice voted down, and the name Of
w IL. Kelley does not appear in either
the list of those voting for it or against
it. This was a measure in which every
citizen, especially the poor man, was
interested and they have right to
know just where their representatives
stand i'll the matter. The natural gues-
tion is: Where was Kelley? Why was
he not on hand? Why did he not vote
either for or against It, so that his CEN
stituents might know where he stands
on matters of vital interest to them?
This is not the first time that s'Our
Own Muldoonh has been absent when
it was his duty to be on hand and the
the natural conclusion is that he is
both traitor and coward, and THE
STAR does hot hesitate to brand him as
both; a traitor because he has violated
his pledge to the people 10 work for
measures of benefit to them, and u
coward because he dares not come out
boldly and show where he stands. His
grand stand play of Introducing big
batch of bills will not catch very many
suckers. The people who sent him to
the state capitol do not care who intro
duces the bills, but they do care how
their representative votes and for what
he votes. They have right to demand
that w. III. Kelley serve them and he
is most certainly not doing it, the cor
respondent of the Mancos Times to the
contrary Notwithstanding. Kelley
should take home to himself an asser-
ton that he has often written for pub
lication in the papers he has edited,
that 'a public official is a servant and
mot the master,n but just ct present it
seems that it is not to his interest to re-
member anything or any person but
w. H. Kelley.

Some of our friends (?) are getting
rather industrious In circulating re-
port to the effect that we have switched
cur politics and gone ever to the Repub-

the truth. But the Democrat who, for
any reason, dares not come out and
criticise any official who is a member
of his party, when he believes that that
official is not doing his duty is not
worthy to be called a Democrat, and
we are not one of that stripe. While
we are still a Democrat, and will be SO

volcanic Eruption. on I'll. Moor.

Messrs. Loewy and Puiseux, Of the
Paris observatory, in issuing some ad-
ditional plates of their Photographic
atlas Of the moon, refer to the recent
volcanic cataclysm at Martinique and
St. Vincent, and say that study of the
lunar surface leads them to think that
eruptions, quite as intense as the
greatest recorded on the earth have
occurred on the moon, repeated st
long intervals in the same places. But,
favored by condition of calm and
dryness, they have been more durable
in their effects, and the more recent
deposits superposed upon the earlier
ones are distinguishable by their dark
Or tone and less extended boundary"

Some of the printers who are mon

SWIFT DESTRUCTION
The Earning Of Home Within a
 Very Few Minutes.

There was fire nj No. 3SS East Van Eurcn street last night which wrought a great deal of damage in short time The house was occupied by Mrs. l. F Juneman. proprietress of the Fair and Miss Anna Vossl1uhler. They had as a guest Mrs. Go.aa who had recently arrived in the city.
 The cause of the confagra tion is un- known but it is supposed to have had it's origin in an exploding lamp. There was lamp in the parlor and the la dies had left the house 10 c0r1e down town. Within two minutes after leav- ing the building they heard the cry Fire" but it did not occur to them that it was their home. The light of it soon guided them back and when they arrived at the building it was in flames in every part. The neighbors said the fira seemed to have started in the par Tor. but it quickly spead to every part of the building.
 The fire department W2S on hand with promptitude but it could only save the adjoining buildings which on each side were hardly more than ten feet distant.
 The only property saved was q trunk ! belonging to Ms. Juncman Who@e toss | cf furniture will amount to $-C1 with 70 insurance. Mrs. Golan had a trunk containing several hundred dollars worth of real lace and that was lost.
 The burned house was the property of r. Sunderland. d brick structure of si- rooms and was worth about $2G00. It was insured for $500 in the Norwich | Union represented by II. l. Latham.
