THREE RICHEST MEN.

The statement authorized by Mr.
Rockefeller that his fortune does not
exceed $3O0,O00,0OO is giving much
encouragement TO those who believe
or affect to believe that the posses
sion of the wealth of the country
Is not unduly centralized. 1t is
pointed out by the New York Times,
for example, that as the total ac-
cumulated property of the country
amounts to an estimated, one hun
dred and seven billion. Mr.. Rookie
feller owns less than three tenths of
one per cent of It. Mr.. Carnegie,

estimate of the Rockefeller fortune,

his annual income, and Ii was pret-
ty well known that when he retired
from xbusiness on the formation of
the United States Steel corporation
he took with him a fortune in the
neighborhood Of $500, 900. These
two men may thus be said to pos
sess about six-tenths of one per cent
of the total property of the country.
Senator Clark OF Montana is credit

much he is worth. Thus the com

men of America fall short of one
per cent OF the total >Wealth, ana so,

lone of the prime motives in his de-
Examinations to show the defendant
Ito be now insane. He was fully
|aware of the general nature of the
story Mrs. Thaw would tell on the
stand before the trial began, but he
did not expect 1t would be introduced
on the grounds that 1t was what she
had told Thaw If he married her.
Finding 1t impossible to. attack the
truth of her story, he has been lay
ing the foundation for an applica-
tion to Judge Fitzgerald for the ap-
pointment of lunacy commission.
All the lawyers Of the defense con-
tirue apparently mdisturbed by the
reports of District Attorneys plans
to bring the trial to an end without
q verdict being rendered They say
their experts have proved Thaw was
insane not only on theRnight of the
shooting, but on three subsequent
occasions. DR.. Deemar and Or.
Bingaman related more than one
incident to show Thaw's mind was
lunsound.
| If the District Attorney is success
Ifui, they assert their client will new
er be sent to an asylum fo- the
terminal insane. They argue that
the statutes of this state make such
action impossible. A man Of un-
Sound mind, who does not know the
mature or quality of his acts or that
his acts are wrong. commits no
crime in the eyes Of the law when
he takes a human life. Consequently
they argue, Thaw cannot be sent to
an asylum for criminals.
While they insist that Mr.. Jerome
can produce no adequate reasons for
the suspension of the trial and an
Examination of Thaw's present mem
tai condition. they proclaim their
Iconfldence that the result of such
Ian examination would be finding
THAT Thaw is sane.

There is much mystery as to
what the aawyer and detectives

IRELAND AND THE PARLIA-
MENT.

The arrival here Of James Brice,
until recently secretary for Ireland,
now British Ambassador 10 the Uni
ted States, is welcomed as the
strongest assurance that the friendly
relations between the two countries
and the advantage of the immense
commerce which they exchange will
not be impaired by misunderstand-
ings.
1t has been said that If all the
ideal qualifications of an ambassa-
dor to the United States were set
down in one column and the pecu-
liar qualifications of Mr.. Brice for
the place in another they would
work out TO a perfect equation.
But the arrival of Mr.. Brice is
observed with interest for other rea-
sons by large body of our citizen
ship. His retirement from Dublin
comedies closely in point of time
with the elimination of n policy
which gives good promise of extend
ing 10 Ireland larger measure of
home rule than It has known for
eentSries.
The allusions to ireland in the
kings speech were guarded and in
definite, as are all the utterances of
the address to parliament, but OBJ
servers in London are encouraged to
believe that the session of parlia-
ment which began a few days ago
will not end before Ireland has re-
ceived degree of autonomy that
will be the first step towards last
ing political peace and contentment
The times were never more favor
able for the success of such poll
cy. The island has seldom contained
more real prosperity than now. En-
igration has removed to the United
States the surplus population which
was liscontented as much from bad
economic conditions as from unsat-
isfacatory political management.
Those who remain at home are do
ing well. both in agriculture and
in manufacturing industries. Emil
grafton is reduced to small proper
tions for the reason that most of
the Irish can do better there than in
a strange country.
Moderate prosperity permea.ing
the masses is great promoter of
conservatism, and it is believed that
the present is most favorable time
for inauguratingg measures of home
rule without which there must he
chronic discomfort.
To students of politics on this side
Iof the Atlantic there seems no good
reason why Ireland, as well as Scot
land, should not enjoy the same de-
gree of self government and home
rule as is possessed by each of the
states of the American union.
