wHITNEY's7 MIDAS TOUCH

THE estimates Of Whitney's fortune are
entirely to low" says one who was more
or less intimate with the deceased traction
magnate. Twenty millions won't begin to
touch it, in my honest opinion. Whitney
made money faster for a few wears than
any other man in the United States with
the exception, of course, Of the Standard
Oil gang. When he went to Washington
as secretary OF the navy he was com
paratively poor man. Whitney's first am
bition was. political but after four years
as secretary of the navy he switched off.
temporarily at least, and went after
money. The death Of his WIFE in 1892,
placed him in possession OF a capital OF
S3,00o.000, and with that as nucleus he
started out as a promoter OF great enter
prises. His was the touch Of Midas
Everything turned to money. He was as
tonished at his own successes. One thfne
led to another until he became conspicuous
In scores Of prosperous corporations. He
controlled q great insurance company and
half dozen banks. He mascotted dozens
Of his friends into fortune, and helped
more young men than any ten rnillionaires
in the country. I believe Whitney left q,
least $40, 900. 900. His principal heir, Harry
Payne Whitney. is forbidden to publish
AN inventory Of the estate, so that VIZ
can do no better than guess at the size OF
the fortune. Money came in so rapidly
that 1t nearly swamped this modern
Croesus. He spent 1t lavishly here an6
abroad. Just think OF laying up a fortune
Of $40,000,000 in twelve years.

The Single Tax.

To the Editor of The Journal
John j. Janney Writes to T h u r.
n al and wants to know what the single
tax would do to his imaginary interests in
an imaginary farm on which he has spent
forty imaginary years making imaginary
improvements and gathering imaginary
crops. He answers his question by telling
US that, when he got tired Of his imagi-
nary farming and wanted an imaginary
tenant he would lost his imaginary farm.
We'll, even if his supposition is correct, l
don't see he would be any worse off.
But, seriously, I wonder If Mr.. Janney
could not be induced to take larger view
Of so important a question than a merely
personal and imaginary one. To get all
public revenues from land values is either
right or it Is wrong, and Mr. Janney's ina
ginary farm, or poor widows with vacant
lots have nothing to do with the case.
Since Mr.. Janney and all the rest of us
create the rental value OF land, why
shouldn't we have it? And how can we
get 1t In better way, or in any way,
than in the form of public revenue? I
do not suppose for a moment that Mr..
Janney would contend that while a house
belongs to those who build 1t, the rental
value Of land does not belong to those who
produce it.
The taking Of ground rent (the single
taxi for public revenue would make an
immense difference in social conditions,
ana we slHSie takers OF course thlnk tnat
change would be for the better; and if for
the better, then Mr.. Janney's real con-.
dition (not his imaginary one) would also
be better: that is, II he Is satisfied with
| getting what belongs to him. Let him
consider what it would mean to industry
to pay single tax, instead of a double
tax, and how 1t would make 1t impossible
to acquire wealth by holding land out Of
| use (getting something for ncthing), and
| ] do not see how he can help coming to
the conclusion that the single tax would
be blessing to all who came under it's
sway, himself included.

The Congressional Record brings the
stenographic report of Senator Nelson's re-
ply to Senator Hale when the latter init
mated that the senator from Minnesota
had violated the principles of neutrality by
remarking that our commercial interests in
the Orient were to large extent identical
with those Of Japan, China and England
Senator Nelson returned the admonition
very promptly by calling attention to the
remarks of the senator from Maine about
Japan as " an ambitious power from whom
we had more to fear than any other coun-
try" After having evened up things in
this fashion, Senator Nelson proceeded to
enlighten the senate with regard to the
extent and possibilities Of the Oriental field
for the development Of American COM
merce. IIe not only laid stress upon our
commercial interests in the Orient, but
upon our duties as a civilized nation, first
toward the Philippines over whom we have
undertaken to extend the benefits of
American civilization, then in the import
ant part we are destined to play in the
shaping Of the future along the Asiatic
shores Of the Pacific ocean. We opened
the doors Of Japan, we have influenced
the development Of that country more
than any other western nation, and have
rights and privileges in the commerce OF
the Orient which we are bound to promote
and safeguard. not only in Justice to our
selves, but in fairness to the people Of
the Orient as we'll. The beneficent influ-
ence Of our participation in Oriental poll
tics was conspicuously shown in the stand
which our state department took for the
preservation of Chinese territorial integrity
Other services equally important ane
equally obligatory upon us we are destined
to render in the future.

Justice Brewers Position.

An interesting discussion Of the
probable course Of the government in
the further prosecution Of combine
lions in the restraint Of trade may be
found in our Washington correspond
ence to-day. It Is there pointed out
that the policy Of the government will
be determined mainly by the opinion
Of Justice Brewer, who, while sup
porting Justice Harlan and the three
other Justices of the majority in de-
claring against the legality of the
Northern Securities company, makes
the reasonableness or otherwise of re-
straints on competition the real test
Of legality. The mere fact that there
is restraint of trade does not appear
to Justice Brewer as sufficient reason
for stating that it Is illegal. This re-
straint must be shown to be unreason-
able and against public policy. 81
| There is, as Judge Brewer suggests
in his opinion, measure of restraint
in mere partnership. Two men COM
bine to conduct the same business,
and competition between them IS
IAACA COy HouCAA 1851 Gill;
however, is not unreasonable or
against public policy. It is only when
restraint becomes incompatible with
| the best interests of the public that
in the opinion Of Justice Brewer, II
may be outlawed. - e
AS our correspondent points out
Justice Brewer holds the balance Of
power, so to speak, on the supreme
bench. The attorney general, there.
fore, may successfully go only so fal
as Justice Brewer goes and no further
To adopt as liberal an Interpretation
Of the antitrust law as Is incorporated
| in the opinion of Justice Harlan would
probably forfeit the support Of Justice
Brewer, and without him the prosecu'
ton Of combinations in restraint o.
trade cannot be successfully conduct
ed before the supreme court. The
opinion of Justice Brewer, viewed
from this standpoint, becomes, wheth
er we like it or not, the most import
ant deliverance Of the court on Thu
!. subject.

AS in the case of the Russo-Turk-
ish war Of 1877-7S the czar's war Of
flee has, in the present attempt to
conquer Manchuria and Korea and an
initiate Japan, entered upon serious
conflict in a very unprepared state.

after this event, has just succeeded in

churia to inspire in her war chiefs
some confidence in their ability to
meet and defeat the Japanese.
1t is now announced that Russian
success Is assured with the dispatch
from st. Petersburg of the czar's
trusted military chief, General Kuro-
patkin, with his sacred icon as pro-
tector, for the seat Of war, to take
command Of all the armies afield and
overwhelm the enemy. The new ad-
miral of the Port Arthur squadron,
Makaroff, it is predicted, will proceed
to make, aggressive movements and
seek action with the Japanese war
ships, which have SO far dominated
the waters off Korea and Manchuria.
If Makaroff succeeds in uniting the
Vladivostok and Port Arthur squad
rons, it may prove great gain for
Russia, if Makaroff and his lieutenants
have any gift of naval strategy in
them, but it will be the first time in
the history Of Russia, since Peter the
Greats exploiting Of Russia as a Eu-
ropean power, that she has shown any
real ability as a sea power. '@
Russia's military resources are large
and formidable. Since the Crimear
war, 1886, where Russia fought
four powers-Turkey, France, Eng.
land and Sardinia-and did some very
obstinate fighting before she was de-
feated, she has vastly improved hel
army. Tactical blunders she com
mitted in her last war with Turkey
y but she triumphed only to be euchret
out of her successful play by England
and other Jealous powers. The Rus
sian soldiers are brave, well-discip
lined, and have many excellent mill
tary qualities. They complain a
nothing and go where they are told t,
go without hesitation, even If tn,
command means walking into tn
jaws Of death. The Englishman
Rawlinson, said to his countrymen
...No prudent statesman will ever g
to war with Russia with a light heart

command, will despise Russian fore

gage them without some doubt as t

siIou-"The Sign OF the Four"

Conan Doyle's stories are one-rnan
stories, and, therefore, lend themselves
admirably to dramatization of more or
less melodramatic sort. For the same
reason they afford that opportunity the
actor Graves, the center of the stage from
overture to finale, with more or less lime
light.
1.-THE Sign Of the Four is at the Bijou
this week. The unraveling Of the Agra
treasure tangle is accomplished, of course,
thru the wit Of Sherlock Holmes.
Walter Edwards assumes the role of
the consulting detective, endowed by
Conan Doyle with marvellous powers OF
observation and deduction. He is rather
too well built for the part. The detec-
tive is described as tall, spare and with
muscles well knit. Mr.. Edwards has a
tendency to obesity. Otherwise he is well
equipped, physically. He does not let
Sherlock Holmes prestige suffer from lack
of careful nursing. In fact, he irnpresses
the galleries with the same conception OF
Sherlock Holmes that Sherlock Holmes
| himself holds-that he is the only sue
| cessful Nemesis Of criminals heretofore
| now or hereafter. The effect Of his eli.
makes Is not heightened by a. tendency K
pose.
Despite the fact that the lions share
Of the work falls to Mr.. Edwards, his sup.
port Is none the less good. Mary Hazlet

AT THE THEATERs
Lyceum-"TheIma."

l. u + l. i
In running the gamut of possible stock
theater productions the Ferris company
has reburned to the sounding Of particu-
larly popular note in giving the dramati-
Zation OF 'Thelma." which so pleased the
patrons of the theater a few weeks ago.
Altho the one week of it's former run found
the house filled at each performance, the
public Of Minneapolis is so peculiarly con-
structed that its appetite for the story OF
Marie Corelli s Norwegian princess has not
been appeased and there was barely room
for the carping critic when the curtain
went up last night.
A long and unimpressing play, proceed
ing by fits and starts, and remarkable
chiefly for the manner in which the story
skitters ng-touching the high spots
and leaving huge gaps where there should
be some light thrown on the situation, its
success at the Lyceum is secured thru
the clever character work done by Masie
Cecil in the role Of Britta, the simple
minded Norwegian girl, and by Joseph
Totten as the young and somewhat gym
nastic George Lorimer.
The four different sets used in the six
acts are ambitious efforts on the part OF
the scenic artist. And yet even in north
ern Norway one might not expect to see
four distinct shades of blue in the same
bit of sky, and this suggestion is offered
If the borders, wings and back drop were
the casual observer would escape the i'm.
preston that there had been remnant
sale in skyings. And surely Sir PhiliI
Bruce Errington cannot expect to escape
prosecution for maintaining an apartment
so riotously tinted as that which in thu
third, fourth and fifth acts is described a!
his London home" It is strange tina
more acts Of violence are not com
mitted therein.
Grace Hayward makes a sweet ant
pretty Norwegian princess in her peasan
costume and the bill is frightened by th'
