The Worlds Largest Diamond
Yates Center, Kansas.

The largest diamond ever discovered,
weighing 1902 carats and valued at
from $3,500,OOO to 100000, has just
been found near Pretoria. Before this
discovery stone weighing 81 carats,
or nearly half a pound, sent to Lon
don from the Jagersfontein mines in
South Africa in 1893, was regarded as
the largest This stone is still in proc
ess of being cut in Amsterdam.
The total value of all the diamonds
in the world has been estimated by
George F. Kunz, the foremost expert in
America, at $1,0O0,000,000. As the
United States government since 1867
has exacted duty on diamonds and pre-
cious stones valued at $240,000,0 900, Mr..
Kunz believes that not less than $780,
900 900 worth Of diamonds is owned in
this country. Credulous persons might
think the value Of those lost by &C
tresses was even greater than this sum-
1t remains to be seen whether the
American millionaire will outbid the
crowned heads for ownership OF this
newest, biggest, pound-and-a-half dia-
mond

ThatFako Panama Canal
Pasadena, Cal.

Editor Independent: In its great
enthusiasm to become great in the eyes
of the world this government has I'M
dertaken a task that involves an ex-
pense of from three to four hundred
millions of dollars and situated hun
dreds of miles from our shores in far
off foreign country this same enter
prise in the past came near bankrupt
ing one of the richest nations OF the
earth, but through its shrewdness sold
their right of way to us together with
their scrap pile of rusty, antique ma
chinery at the moderate sum of $40,-
100000, since which time they have
employed expert engineers to survey
their new purchased route. These en-
gineers have made a recene report I'M
favorable to this plan and recommend
what is known as the sea level route.
Their estimate of cost being at least
$500, 100000 Should the change be
made then the $40.c00,000, already paid,
is squandered together With present
expenses, near million more. Men of
experienced knowledge claim il this
canal is ever finished it will never pay
expenses OF constant repairs and cost
of operating, leaving out all prospect

Is this canal being built? Is it for the
benefit of the whole people, or for the
benefit of some favored contractors
and spectators who have forced this
burden upon the people for their per-
sonal benefit.
Men that we elected to do us justice
in legislation have done this work for
us. These things will continue until
the people take the controi of all these
great enterprises ard refuse to enter
tain a personal favored few. When
people elect their United States sena-
tors and leave out millionaire trust mag
mates, railroad presidents and eorp0r
ton contractors. and also elect their
supreme judges, leaving cut corpora
ton lawyers and have no millionaire
senators or members of congress nor
political supreme judges, then we may
expect some legislation for the people.
At present there IS none, neither will
we be burdened with tariff tax that
the people have never understood
Many have been made to believe that
tariff revenue is raid by the foreigner
and the high protective tariff is to slim
ulate high wages fer the benefit OF the

SECRET OF JAPAh's STRENGTH.
> Agricultural Industries Make
Country Self-eustalnina.

Though manufacturing Industries
have had a remarkable growth In ia
pan during recent years, agriculture
still maintains its own as the leading
source of wealth. The oriental coun-
try can feed its own Inhabitants and
does not have to keep its eyes upon
the graneries Of other nations. To
the fact that the country is mainly
agricultural some eminent Japanese
statesmen have attributed its ability
to continue a long and gruelling war.
The battles on land and sea, the inter
ruption Of commerce and the use Of
the railroads for military purposes do
rot disturb the peaceful progress of
agriculture. though they would ruin
industries. The men who labor the
earth get their reward, war or NO
war. commerce or NO commerce, and
while the national debt must increase
enormously through the war the coun-
try can maintain itself Indefinitely
without the terrible burden that q de-
rangement Of vast industrial undertake
ings. with the consequent beggary Of
workingmen and their families, would
entail.-Baltimore Herald.

Thnreupon the two poets shook hands
heartily. Browning then said: May l
ask to what branch Of poetry his ex-

the interpreter answered: His ex-

enigmas." At this Browning. recog-
