CONFISCATION IN MOROCCO.
and That Of His Relatives Re
verts 10 the Crown.

1t is custom in Morocco that all the
property Of an official reverts at death
to the crown. The logic which leads
to such a result is simple, for the gov
ernment argues that all fortunes thus
accumulated consist Of moneys Illegal
ly retained by the authorities, says
Blackwood's Magazine. a governor
when appointed is probably possessed
Of no considerable fortune. When he
dies he may be millionaire. Whence
came this wealth? Squeezed most GER
tainly from the tribes under his au-
thprity, and therefore amassed only by
the prcrogatives Of the position in
which the sultan had placed him. 1t
has never struck the Moorish govern
ment that these great fortunes might
more hOnorably be returned to the
people from whom they were stolen.
The result is entire confiscation to the
crown, including often such private
property as his governor may have
been possessed of before his appoint
ment, and not seldom, too, of the prop
erty Of his relatives.
When the mighty fall in Morocco the
crash brings down with them their
families. even uncles and cousins and
all connected with them, and it is not
seldom that the sons of great govern
ors, who have been brought up in the
luxuries Of slaves and horses and ret
inues of mounted men, have to go beg
ging in the streets.

COST OF WIRELESS MESSAGES.

II Is rather needles to say that Mar

near future. n big reduction in cable

a word Is within sight. But even this
is purely arbitrary figure. In Eng
land, where the public telegraph is not

to send n l2-word message anywhere
in the kingdom for SiXpeuce. There is
no good reason why, with healthy com

York to London, Paris or Manila
should not be sent and delivered for a
dime; or. for that matter anywhere in
the United States says Carl Snyder in
the monthly Review of Reviews.
The first cost is small a wireless
telegraph station is more complicated
than an ordinary Morse station, aud
costs more. But, needing neither
cables, wires, insulators, nor poles the
stations are practically the whole of
the expense. Such an installation as
those of the Marconi company on
board the ocean ships probably costs
between 5000 and S3OO. at retail. The
largest expense is good inducti. n

A STING IN HIS WORDS.
The Manly Conduct of Police omcer
who Might Have Retaliated
for Abuse.

By far the most humiliating incident
connected with the downfall OF r. I.
Andrews. vice president Of the City
savings bank Of Detroit was the man
ner of his arrea I, says Chicago paper.
One Of the many Offices he.d by An
drews was that Of police cor iGi- sioner
lie was a stern disciplinal 81 and had
little pity for members of tie force
who violated the rules. .ust before
exposure Of his 1900 GOO cuibe@zle-
ment was made Andrews bad occasion
to rebuke one of the city detectives
for some alleged neglect Of duty, and
he berated the officer roundly, giving
him what is known in police ciscles as
severe dressing down" BY chance
it became the duty Of this same detect
i've a few days later to take the bank
wrecker into custody. Policemen who
knew Of the terrible scoring the Off
Ger had received from Andrews looked
for a bitter retaliation in the way of
wordy recrimination, but nothing of
the kind occurred. The officer was po-
lite and deferential in making the ar
rest, almost as much so as If he were
taking orders from his superior in
stead of conveying him TO Jail. I'm
really sorry to g. this, Mr.. Andrews" !"
he said, but it'smy duty" There was
sting in these simple words, how
aver, that the bystanders did not ap-
preciate, for in the scoring the detect
i've had received from Andrews while
police commissioner great stress was
laid upon the necessity of a policeman
doing his duty without fear or favor.

MAKE REC0MM ENDATl0NS
Land Commissioner Richards
Annual Report.

In his forthcoming annual report
Land Commissioner Richards will pro-
sent forceful argument in favor of
the radical modification of the timber
and stone act. He builds his argu.
ment upon the showing of rapidly in
creasing timber entries in late years.
Out Of 1874. 1870 acres OF public
lands entered during the past year,
l.765, 222 were covered by timber on
tries, or more than three times the
area OF timber entries In tho preced.
Ing year. This growth is tho be tier
appreciated when IL IL known that in
the 90 years the timber and stone acts
have been operative less than 1000, 900
acres all told, have been entered un-
der its provisions
Commissioner Richards objects to
She timber and stone act because 1t
allows entrymen, largely spectators,
TO acquire for e. 90 az acre lands
shat are easily worth 800, 5 o no says
"Whon one observes tho character
Of claims that are being fled, said
Commissioner Richards, "littlo argu-
ment is needed to convince him that
these lands are being taken mp for the
benefit OF syndicates and corporations
and not tho individual claimants. For
example, u carload of people will
leave Michigan, cross the continent
and scatter in the hills Of Oregon.
Immediately wo will receive claims
