HOW TO STOP REVOLUTIONS.
Mexico Has a Way of Causing Disturb
ers to Disappear.

Mexico, of all nations wherein Span.
ish blood predominates, alone seems
to understand the shortest and most
satisfactory way to dispose of revolu-
tionists. Central and South American
countries hardly have breathing spells
between revolutions. Cuba has been
INDUCING in one continuous "revolu-
ton" for many years. Santo Domingo
and Hayti are ever at it.. But Mexico
has reduced the revolutionist to a
cipher. If he exists at all in that
country he is scarcely ever heard of,
except in a way that shows Mexico's
complete control of him.
The truth of the matter seems to be
that the South American revolutionist
is a business nan at his trade. He
''revolutes" as a professional matter.
In Mexico as soon as a man shows any
symptoms of the revolutionary disease
he is unceremoniously bundled off to
Jail and allowed to think it over be-
hind the bars. If he is at last released
from durance vile and then behaves
himself all may go we'll with him.
But the government keeps an eye
on him and in case of a relapse he is
quietly taken out to some secluded
spot and cheerfully shot. Then the
report of the mysterious disappear.
ance' is given out.
Obviously it is rather a depressing
business to conduct, aid or abet a rev
olution from behind steel bars.
In fact, there is absolutely nothing
inside of a Jail calculated to keep the
flame of revolutionary desire brightly
burning. However, should the would

According to a Galveston dispatch
the Gulf coast oil fields have decreased
their production forty-1ve per cent.
aud the cause is attributed to seismic
disturbances associated with Jamaica
earthquakes. The Texas-L Louisiana
fields have been on a steady decline
for the past ten months, as shown by
the decrease of 18,000,000 barrels for
the year just ended, compared with
1905. The sudden decrease was no
ticed the second day after the jamaica
quake, and seventeen wells in the
Texas-L louisiana field went dry en-
tirely, while every well declined per-
ceptibly. After the Valparaiso earth
quake the Texas-Louisiana field de-
clined and many wells ceased to flow,
while an immense oil lake appeared
out of the gulf. The older north Texas
oil fields have increased 100 per cent.
in the same period since the Jamaica
shocks and the product is fifty per
cent. lighter in color.

his aspirations while inside the jail he
has an even more dreary prospect
ahead when he gets out.

On the whole, it looks as If the
Mexican idea has stood the test OF
time. The great man at the head Of
the Mexican government is not alone
great himself, but is surrounded by a
splendid corps Of advisers. Never has
Mexico been allowed to lag or recede
as other nations marched forward 80
long as Diaz has been in command.
The bane of other Latin-American
governments-the revolutionist-has
been reduced to naught in Mexico.
There are few revolutions there

Moraan,s Inc Art eaIIery.

Meanwhile Morgan, ST., is spending
his days In his beautiful library and
art gallery on East Thirty-sixth street
that is connected with his brownstonc
residence at the corner of Madison
avenue. AS has been said, his CON
Germs nowadays are more with his
esthetic treasures than with the ma
terial things of Wall street. Here his
partners come from time to time to
consult with him, but in the main he
is left to spend his days as he pleases,
possibly laying plans for the future
presentation to the city of his new Ii.
brary and the turning of it into such
a gallery as the Tate in London
There are years of this work ahead
of him, for his varied collections are
so large that it is only with these
leisurely days that he can really be
said to have an opportunity to become
thoroughly acquainted with them.
Morgan has been called a close man
and anecdotes have been told of his
having given a gold piece TO a news
boy in mistake for a quarter and send
ing a policeman back to recover the
yellow coin. But there is no doubt
that Morgan has given great sums to
charity and that all his gifts have not
been heralded abroad as have those of
other millionaires. AS for art, his
hobby for picking up masterpieces in
every quarter of the world is too well
known to need repeating. The library
building itself is a proof of his prodi.
gality. Two years were required to
build the library. It's cost was placed
at $500, 900. In it are gathered many
of the choicest art objects and books
on which the finacier has spent at
least $4,000, 900 during the last 20
years.

l have taken at random eight,

to Chicago from the Illinois State Re-
formatory during the last five years,
and found their earnings we're nearly
$4,000 a year, writes Bishop Samuel
Fallows in the World Today for Feb
ruary. The highest salary was 500
per month and the lowest $40 and
board. Many were earning $50, $40,
$65, $50 and $52 monthly. The aver
age wages of the more than soc boys
who have faithfully kept their parole
during that time can be safely esti-
mated at the average above given,
$500 q year. And as that number are
now still steadily employed, so far as
is known, their annual productive
value is $500, 900.

New York.-What that congeries of
financial interest which is usually
spoken of as wall street" has been
looking forward to anxiously and with
much speculation for several years
has actually come to pass IN the
House of Morgan" The "Old Man"
as J.. Pierpont Morgan is generally
called in 'the street" has to all in
tents and purposes gone into retire
ment, and in his place in the most
famous banking house in America
there reigns in his stead j. P. Morgan,
Jr, OF Jack as he is more frequent
ly called and spoken of in the same
district. No one can cry. The king
is dead! Long live the king!" for the
head of the house is very much alive.
Only he has handed over the practical
administration of his banking con-
Germs to his son, while in his magnif-
cent new library on East Thirty-sixth
street he is spending the evening of
his days in the pleasures of the collec-
tor amid his collections.
Like all of the things the elder Nor
gan does, this change in his banking
house was accomplished with little
flourishing of trumpets. So quiet
and gradual has been the process that
until the last few weeks but little at
tention has been paid to the impor-
tant change which has for several
years been going on in the house of
Morgan. John P%ierpont Morgan, the
first fnancier of the country, and per
haps of the world, has practically
turned the reins of power over to his
son Jack" OF late Morgan, ST., has
not been in any too good health, and
for more than a month has not been
in the financial district at all. Every
time the stock market tumbles dis
quieting reports are circulated from
one end of Wall street to the other
that the odd man" is seriously i'll,
and in spite of frequent denials from
other members of the firm, including
Jack" the reports persist and come
to the surface at every favorable OPP
portunity.

Bad telephone service in Gotham
is excused on the ground that so many
of the girls in the exchanges are en-
gagged. This appeal to sentiment is
not likely to carry weight in the bust
ness world. All the world may be a
lover, but as far as telephone wires
are concerned, the public prefer him
to ring off until it is a case of ring
on"

But there seems to be nothing i'm
mediately alarming in Mr.. Morgan's
condition. He is merely an old man,
and is retiring from the multifarious
duties OF his position as Americas
greatest fnancier. AS he has with
drawn from financial worries he has
devoted more and more attention to
art and charity.
The more time j.. P. Morgan spends
among his art treasures and the fewer
his business cares, the more these
cares and responsibilities fall upon
Jack Morgan. In fact, the affairs of
the great house of Morgan are now in
the hands of three men, ]. P, Morgan,
Jr. George w. Perkins and Charles
Steele. Mr.. Steele is the legal man,
so that the heavy financial work,
formerly the joy of "The Old Mans
life. is in the hands of Jack Morgan
and Perkins. Not that these are the
only members of the firm, but they
are the active ones. The stock ok
change firm of which John w. Gates
Is a member has frequently been
called 'The House of the Twelve
Partners" The Morgan firm has IL
mariners, but the members other than
those mentioned are little more than
head clerks.
]. p. Morgan, Jr, is by no means
an inexperienced boy. He is exactly
40 years old and his training in the
~intricacies of banking has been long
aAd thorough. Whether he will prove
the genius in the world of business
that his father has been remains to be
seen. But If genius consists in an OK
~cessive devotion to hard work he may
compare f~avorably with his illustrious
father.
