he. But he has left me, as he gem

Everyone who knew the autocrat
must have been impressed by this
trait ascribed to him by Longfellow
the extraordinary rapidity of his men

but that his turns of thought were
surprisingly bright and quick, and often
made with kind of scientific precision.

RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD.

The fortune of an extremely rich man
is always an interesting subject of
speculation; when it comes to consid-
ering the fortune of the richest man
in the world everybody is interested
in 1t, probably more in a spirit of Gu
riosity than anything else. 1t is usual
ly the case that when fortune passes
100000 it is apt to be magnified in
the public mind. One million dollars
is a sum so enormous that it is diff
cult for the average mind to grasp its
significance, hence, generally speaking,
ten millions expressed in figures are
no more impressive than one million.
That is why so many millionaires, aft
er death, are found to have left estates
smaller than they were credited with
possessing during life.
1t is probable that, in like manner,
the wealth of John D. Rockefeller has
been estimated at too high a figure;
still, the fact remains that by calcu-
lating from the size of the dividends he
receives from the corporations in which
he is interested it is possible to arrive
at an approximately correct estimate
of his fortune. A business man closely
associated with Mr.. Rockefeller and
said to be in a position to know, is
quoted in the New York correspond
ence of the Philadelphia Press as as
sorting that Mr. Rockefeller is now by
far the richest man in the world, worth
more than twice as much as any other
American citizen. His Standard Oil
stock, at the market rates, is worth
$500. 000. 900, from which alone for sew
eral years he has received dividends
of s40.O00,000 per annum. or little less
than 81, 100000 a week. Besides this he
has other sources of income that bring
him about $S5, 100000 year, so that his
total income from all sources is not less
than $75.0OO.0OO a year, as it has been
for several years, and there is no sug-
gestion of check to the enormous in
flow.
That is to say, Mr.. Rockefellers in
come for single year is more than the
enormous fortune left by William H.
Vanderbilt to his sons. In ten years
Mr.. Rockefeller's wealth will be near
ly 100000 from his annual in
come alone. At the moment, it
is said, he can lay his hand on
more ready cash than any ten men
in New York, including Russell Sage
and the Vanderbilts and Goulds. There
are, of course, dozen sermons in the
flood of gold pouring into Rockefeller's
Golfers. How long will it be before
he will have a corner on the wealth of
the United States? Is such enormous
power concentrated into the hands of
one man a good thing for the public
interests? Do not such aggregations
of capital cause discomfort in the
masses? Should there be legal limit
to private fortunes? These are but
few of the queries that suggest
themselves. There are others equal
ly serious that will occur to those who
read of Mr.. Rockefeller's riches-which
riches he can never see and never en-
joy in the sense that an average man
in well-to-do circumstances enjoys his
property. What can the man possibly
want of so much money? Yet the
Standard Oil Company goes on squeez-
ing the people II every opportunity
that presents itself for an increase in
the price of oil.

MIR. CLEvELAND,s POPULARITY.

Special reports from St. Louis say
that Mr.. Cleveland received more ap-
pIause than President Roosevelt on the
occasion of the dedication of the eX-
position buildings in that city. The
report in the New York Press. an ex-
IRENE Republican paper, contained the
following: More significant than the
ceremonies attending the dedication of
the Louisiana Purchase Exhibition,
was the reception to Grover Cleveland
in the streets of the city. From the
time he left the residence of President
Francis, Mr.. Cleveland seemed to be
the subject of greater interest than
President Roosevelt. Some women
threw flowers to him and others called
out our next President.
There isn't any doubt that Mr.. Cleve-
lands reception was a hearty one, and,
as it was participated in by prominent
Democrats from pretty nearly every
state, there is a great deal of talk that
he has again become a big political
quantity. Doubtless some of his popu-
larity is due to the fact that he is the
only living ex-President and the only
Democrat elected President in more
than forty years.
There are many Democrats who are
thinking of him for President, and one
prominent paper that is classed as
Democratic has begun to advocate his
nomination. That paper is the Brook
Ign Eagle. The New York Herald, In
a brief article in it's Fridays issue,
asks the Eagle this significant ques-
ton: Does the Eagle believe that
any Democrat can be elected President
who did not vote for Bryan?"
1t is certain that Mr. Cleveland
wouldn't have the support of a united
Democratic party, and without such
support he wouldn't stand much chance
of being elected.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.) says:
Mr.. Cleveland, in his speech at St.
Louis, touched upon a curious but al
most forgotten fact of history: we owe
the possession of the vast tract ac-
quired as the Louisiana Purchase to
the circumstance that France was at
war with Santo Domingo, which she
was finding it difficult, and eventually
found it impossible, to conquer. 1t is
an amazing reflection that 100 years
ago Napoleon deemed what is now the
despised Island of Hayti of more value
than the territory Of fifteen of our
commemorative"
The Philadelphia Record Dem.)
says: 1.-THE President very wisely
dropped into the minds of Western
audience, in Quincy ILL.,, the seed
thought that 'grain-raising commune
ties require a larger volume of cur
rency at harvest time than during the
summer (did he mean winter?) months.
The West and South found out last
year that a currency shortage did not
merely affect the spectators in Wall
street, but reached the farmers all
over the country. Yet Congress grant
ed no relief. If next fall shall be a
repetition OF last fall the next Con-
gress may arouse itself sufficiently to
10 SOIllelAlnB.
The Chicago Chronicle Dem.l says:
IAN of Napoleon's great plans of en-
pire-building, brilliant as their sue
cess seemed to be for a time, came to
naught. OF the vast imperial struc-
ture which he reared nothing remains.
All of il vanished long ago. His con-
scious efforts to create an empire re-
suited in disappointment and disas-
trous failure. His one act opposed to
Imperialism, diminishing the extent OF
French sovereignty, resulted in true
empire-the empire OF civilization and
a free. self-governing people. In this
there may be lesson for those of us
who favor the extension OF American
domination by the strong arm IL we are
able to discern realities. however cum

forms and false pretenses and profess

A District of Columbia court has
held that government department re-
port is a privileged communication and
that therefore the official who writes it
cannot be held responsible in law for
anything he may write, notwithstand-
ing it may be libelous and set down in
malice. A recent report on pension
case said the applicant was liar and
a fraud, or words to that effect. The
applicant brought suit for libel, which
the court has dismissed.

Connecticut has developed one Of the
most picturesque prevaricators that
has broken into the public prints for
some time. The other day he sold TO
several of the New York newspapers a
story-alleged news story-of a pond
iE the midst Of a tamarack swamp
near Warren, that rose from its bed
100 feet in the air and then dropped
back again to its original place with
a terrific crash" In proof of this as
sertion of the feat of the athletic pond,
the correspondent points TO the fact
that Jim Angevine came home with
his clothes wet, asserting that he had
been sprinkled by the high jumping
body Of water. The authorities ought
certainly to investigate the brand of
booze that is being dispensed in Con-
necticut
