WORLDS RICHEST FAMILY.
Wealth of Rothschilds Foots Up to a
Total of a Billion and
a Half.

A writer in the Tattler, a London
publication which is nearly always
bright, and often very well informed,
argues that however great the riches
of the American millionaires may be,
there is no family in the United States
which approaches the wealth of the
R~othschilds. He makes a good Ease.
1t appears that careful estimates CT
the possessions of the French branch
of the family place its riches at or
above $500, 900, 600. The British Roths-
childs are rated still higher in the
financial world. The German men,
bers Of the family which won its first
success in that country are also very
rich, and there are other Rothschilds
still to be reckoned with. Altogether,
1t is claimed that the wealth of the
entire family is pot less than $780,
600, 900.
If that sum is anywhere near the
marks, then it follows that there is No
American family anything like so rich
as the Rothschilds. They can easily
outweigh any other house in the
extent and value of their property. And
most of it is very solid and safe. From
the first, the Rothschilds have been
careful and shrewd in handling their
immense wealth. No one can set o
limit on its probable acc%umulations,
q psa2ratinn hence.

WHY THEY FIGHT WINSTON.

The secret of the vicious attacks the
Lepublicans are making on Judge
Francis d. Winston, the Democratic
candidate for Lieutenant-Governor. is
that they hope thereby TO take the
desperate chance for electing Meeklns
as Lieutenant Governor. They know
that life is uncertain. If GovernC:
Glenn should not live to fill out his
te rm, they would like for a partisan
Republicans to succeed him. They be-
Eeve if they obtained the Governor
ship in this way, it would be step
toward a chance TO gain control OF
the State.
Certainly Democrats cannot afford
to take any risk They will vote the
straight ticket, pray that Mr.. Glenn
may live to fill out his term and for
further usefulness, but they will rake
no chances of being inflicted with q
Republican Governor. The on'y way

sible is to vote for Glenn and Wiz

TRUST MONEY FOR POPULISTS
AND SOCIALISTS.

The thing that has caused most sur
prise during the campaign in the

the Populists and Socialists They
will not poll many votes on election

will vote for Roosevelt but they will
| fool some people who cannot be in

Writing from Chicago of the MAIN
! spring OF the activity of Populists and
Socialists, to the Brooklyn Eagle. Mr..
n. 0. Tanning, the capable and COM
petent special correspondent. saws:
Where the trust money is actually
going is into the Populist and Socialist
campaigns. 1t is broadly asserted that
| nine of every ten dollars now being
spent in the interest of Watson. the
| Populist candidate for President. and
Debs, the Socialist candidate. is furn-
| ished by the trusts. through Republi-
can politicians. Both the Populists
and Socialists have had very large
campaign funds. Conservative esti-
campaign to date in New York, New
Jersey. Georgia, Illinois, Nebraska
and Missouri at $350,000. and the cost
of the Socialist campaign in all these
states except Georgia and Nebraska at
100000. The total amount of money
received and expended by the Demo-
cratic National Committee in the Bry-
an campaign of 1900 was $275.00U
SIS, 900 less than the Populists and
$25. 900 less than the Socialists have
already expended in this campaign.
Exceptionally close watch been
kept on the Populist and Socialist par
ties by the Democratic National Com
mittee and the local committees of the
populous debatable states. The cper-
ations of these two parties. which are
without individual financial resources,
have been conducted on a scale which
proves the possession of monev IN

BLACKBURN AS CODE COMMITS
SIONER.

! A Democrat in the Eighth district
| has asked The News and Observer to
state why it was that Blackburn.
though chosen Code Commissioners
never got the job
| The story of that scandal is long
and an unsavory one. The Black-and-
Tan Legislature of 1895 decided to
establish a Code Commission, the bill
passed, and Blackburn was selected as
| one of the Commissioners by the
caucus. His election raised great
row among the Black-andTan lead
ers, and as there was no other way
to get rid of Blackburn as Commits
sioner, the bill establishing a Code
Commission was repealed. Black
burns "antics" about the bill received
severest censure from members Of the
Black -and-Tan caucus.
In order to throw some light upon
the old scandal, the following edito-
rial paragraphs are taken from The
News and Observer of 1896: On the
10th of March The News and Obser-
sair said:
Reading Clerk Blackburn was a y.
;. commissioner when he came to
Raleigh. He was elected Reading
Clerk, then trustee of the University,
and now is caucus nominee for the
code commissioner. And still he does
not explain why he had the Code Com
mission bill in his pocket on Thursday
night when its consideration was de-
manded. Have honors made him dr.
zy?
Under the heading blackburn
Abolished" The News and Observer
had tn following editorial:
perhaps it was we'll to dissemble
your love,
But why did you kick me down
stairs?''
is the question that Russell and Guth-
RE are asking, now that the caucus
has decreed that the Code Commas
sion shall not be established.
THE Caucasian said that the Code
ought to be revised. most of the law
yers have held that opinion. the eau
Gus decreed it, and selected three Re-
publicans for the commission. But
one of them was young Blackburn
who was characterized by Russell
thus: We have elected a clerk for
Commissioner (Blackburn) and now
we must elect a Commissioner for
clerk This estimate of the young
man met with such hearty response
that the caucus determined to aboI-
ish the Commission as the only way
to get rid of the young reading clerk.
