HINDoo PRINCE A BANKRUPT
Descendant of the Great MoEuI Cam
not Live on PaItry 100000
Per Year.

Copyright, 1903. by Press PuN'ishing Coz
LONDON, Jan. 4-(New YORK. World Ca
blsgram-speclal Telegrs Prince Victor
Dhuleep Singh. whose q IN roubles are
engaging the attention London
bankruptcy court. says thai itish
government would pay him the IA ~
owes him he would not only be sor Z
wealthy. Prince Victor, a brother-i4
by marriage Of Lady tVlergina Bougus
Deerhardt. is a direct descendant Of the
grand mogule. After the capture Of Delhi
at the time Of the mutiny his father was
found a babe Of 3 years in the great temple
and was taken charge Of by the British
government. which appropriated $70,OO0.O 900
worth of his fathers property. including
the famous Kohinoor diamond, now the chief
jewel in Queen A~lexandra's crown.
Prince Dhuleep Singh was brought to
England, placed under the care Of a gov
erness and educated at Elton and oxford.
The British government then made, under
deed. a solemn settlement on him OF $4,000
a year in compensation for the family prop
erty appropriated at Delhi. Dhuleep Singh
married a French woman at Suez and de-
veloped extravagant tastes. He was the
best partridge shot in the world, having
made the record OF killing 1000 birds &c
his own gun in a single day on his estate
at Clevedan, in Norfolk.
He got into financial difficulty, claimed
his property from the British government
and when the liability was repudiated went
to Russia and tried to stir up a rebellion
among the sikhs, of whom he was the head
This failed. He returned to England, made
atonement and was accorded a reduced in,
some Of $4,000 a year. On his death he
left three children-two princesses and
Prince Victor-between whom his income
was divided, the daughters getting SIS, 0O(
a year each and the prince $50, 600.
Prince Victor three years ago married &
daughter of the earl Of Coventry, Lady Anne
Coventry. Her taste in selecting a husband
was freely criticised, for Prince Victor
though educated in England, is as much o
an Oriental as his father was. He seemeC
to think that II he married into a swell
English family and so gave hostages for hi
loyalty, as IL we're, that the British gov
m would restore his father's~ origina
income of $500, 900 a year. Accordingly h,
proceeded at about that rate. giving hi
wife costly Jewels and keeping great state
But now that his creditors have come dow
upon him the British government looks Of
his troubles with callous Indifference.

INTEREST RATES GOING UP
Money Brings Two Per Cent More
Thar 1T Did Few Months
Ago.

Omaha bankers say the tendency OF the
money market is toward higher rates OF
interest. The rate during the fall months
has advanced gradually until 1t is prac-
tically 2 per cent higher than It was four
months ago. the prevailing rate being Z to
s per cent. against 8 to 8 per cent on sim
liar paper in August.
A large amount of western cattle paper
which vas placed six months ago at 8 pei
cent is now commanding s per cent, "a
loans become due and are renewed, for
much of the cattle which 1t was thought
would be marketed in December is being
held. For two or three months the Omaha
money market has been lower than in any
OF the large cities and the expectation is
that the conditions which prevail elsewhere
will be seen locally before the end of the
season Of activity.

Judge Jones, the ex-Confederate
United States judge who has been try
ing the southern planters who have
been indicted for peonage, is credit
to himself and the south. Recently
one of the juries in the peonage cases
in Alabama showed signs of t1inching
when it came to convicting wealthy
planters for enslaving negroes. Judge
Jones, who has done more than all
others to force the prosecutions, told
the jurymen that while he had no
power to put them in Jail for contempt
of court, if they did not bring in YER
dict of guilty they would dishonor
themselves in the sight of man and
would be perjurers in the sight of God.

take hold of the situation in this man
ner it is reasonable to suppose that
this practice will be speedily broken

JOSEPH X. TOOLE,

The republican press of Montana is
INDUCING in considerable speculation
or rather pretended speculation, as to
who will be the choice of the next dem
ocratic state convention, for the COVER
norship of Montana.
The democrats of the state are not
specializing in this regard. If Hon.
Joseph X. Toole desires the guberna-
torial nomination, or could be induced
to accept it, not one true, loyal demo-
crat in the state would raise his voice
against him. Governor Toole may have
higher aspirations, if he has any as
pirations at all, and there is no gift in
the power of the democratic party of
Montana to bestow, to which Governor
Ioole is not entitled. AS democrats,
it is our proud privilege to claim polit-
ical kinship with this man who fully
understands the temper, character and
wants of the people of Montana. He
has profoundly trusted them, and they
in turn have given him their over
whelming confidence. No one has ever
attempted to assail the character or
integrity of Governor Toole, and no one
has ever dared to say that he did not
have the interest of the people of Mon
tana very close to his heart.
The democrats of Montana are not
in quandary as to who shall lead
them to victory in 1904. The demo-
cratic party in this state has but one
logical leader, and that is our present
governor, upon whom all democrats
will unite when the proper time comes.

seven to twenty-five. Behold the benz
ficent cheapening of the cost of pre-
duction caused by trust methods! The
cost OF distribution fell simultaneously
with cost of production. AS the Chicago
Economist points out. the Knicker-
bocker's cost of distribution was ..S1
cents per ton less than the cost to one
of the largest of the separate concerns. -
1t is therefore easy to understand
why the Knickerbocker Ice company,
though loaded down with it's tremen-
dous capitalization of almost So. 600. 900
in stocks and bonds, has been able
year by year to meet the interest on
its bonds and to pay 6 per cent divi-
dends on its preferred stock of SS,OOO.-
600 and sometimes on the $4,OOO,OOO of
common stock. 1t is easy to understand
this. The thing that is not easy to
understand is why company which
is paying per cent dividends should
find it necessary to advance the price
of it's product.
But. says Mr.. Field, wages have
gone up. They went up last year.
Why were not prices advanced then?
Because, says Mr.. Field, competition
was too intense.

DIVIDENDS AND DEATH.

Two men day before yesterday talked
about ice. Compare what they said.
Superintendent Grady of the milk in
spection bureau said: mot more than
one-fourth of the milk consumed yester-
day was sweet. Ice must be had and
distributed. 1t is needed more than
coal was last winter. Babies will die
by the thousands unless some means is
found of keeping their milk supply
fresh"
President Fields of the Knickerbock-
err Ice company said: II have ordered
an advance in the price of ice. The
directors of my company believe that
the company ought to make more money.
If cannot cause the company to make
more money the directors will find a
new president who will be more sue
cessful. The advance in price will
vary from to SO per cent
Let us now try to see what reason, if
any, the directors of the Knickerbocker
Ice company have for thinking that
their company ought to make more
money.

braced in the combination called the

poor will have to pay 10 cents instead
OF cents for a lump of ice because the
hnlckerbocke Ice company is now
relieved from the pressure of COMPETE
ton. 1t is not satisfied with the saw
ings effected by combination, CONSOLE
dation, concentration, and other vaunt-
ed trust methods. It is not content
tremely impressive capitalization. It
is determined to charge "what the
traffic will bear,' even if that traffic is
traffic in the lives of small children.
Remember one thing more. The
knickerbocker Ice company does a
large business in sand. Why doesn't
it advance the price of sand if it wishes
to earn more money and pay small
dividend on the 81, 900, 900 of common
stock, on which nothing has been paid
for three years? An advance in the
price of sand will not cause acute suf-
fering anywhere. No poor family will
feel oppressed by it. The community
generally will be willing to see sand
so up SO that ice may stay down.
