The generosity of the late Baroness
Adolphe de Rothschild was so well
known in Paris and elsewhere that it
could confidently be expected that
charitable donations would figure
prominently in her will. The sum
that she has thus bequeathed is, in
deed, very great, as it amounts to
upwards Of 100000 francs, or
E4OO,OOO. OF this 100000 francs, or

as well as important sums to the jew

compared with the prevailing low
scale of wages. There are hun
dreds and hundreds who would
gladly leave the country for Ame-
RIGA if they only had enough money
to buy ticket. The government
and the press are trying hard to
discourage emigration by publish
ing reports of hard times, but they
don't succeed very we'll. And last,
but by no means the least, the taxes
are beyond all reason, and some
thing will have to be done soon
looking toward a more equitable
distribution of the tax burden.
Another change which will have to
come is more just system of suf-
rage. Under the present system
one man may have one vote or, if
his income is below a certain
amount, none at all, while his
neighbor may have ten.''
The mentioning of the press
naturally led to the question of
what kind Of newspapers the coun-
try has and to this Mr.. Ekander re-
piled: "The newspapers are dead
and that is all there is to it. The
only time they seem to be alive is
when it is rumored that the king
or some member of the royal fami-
ly is coming to town. If anybody
else should want the people to know
that he is in town he would have
to pay for it. Change in the ad-
vertising? No, Stree. They set
up an ad and let it stand as long as
the type lasts. Such a thing as
catching ads they know nothing
about. The king and political
s:reps seem to take up so much of
their attention that they have no
time to attend to anything so tri-
vial as to tell people Of how much
benefit it would be to them to do
their trading in their particular
places of business.

countries the more one will appre-
ciate what a great and good coun-

what his work will be in the fu-
