Power of the RothschiIds.

1t has been calculated that at the pres
ent rate of accumulation the Rotbs-
childs will own by the middle of the
present century some G2,0OO,O00000
sterling, or nearly enough to pay off the
national debt three times over, says a
writer in the Grand Magazine, of Lon
don, England. The imagination is stag
gered and fails to realize the power
which is represented by such figures.
1t could finance, or it could stop, war !;
it could delay the industrial develop
ment of country for generation; or
it could, on the other hand, enable a
country which it favored to beat all its
industrial rivals. A power like this
must have it fingers on all the arteries
through which flows the life-blood of
commerce, the ebb and flow of which
it can regulate uncontrolled.

it was regarded as wicked to shave. Yet
of twenty governors elected last
November, Governor Hughes of New
York is the only one who does not shave
some part of his face, and nine of the
new governors are clean shaven. A few
years ago every mothers son in any

Oppression by Tipping Evil.
Washington Post.)


The whole matter Of tipping is wrong.
The man who is compelled to give is
mulcted and the man who is asked to
receive is insulted, whether he knows it
or not. 1t may never be possible to.
correct the evil of tipping by legislative
enactments, but it can be curtailed by
individual habit. The sentiment against
it is growing. People will continue to
make small presents to faithful servants
as long as some men are born to serve
and some to be served, but the time is
coming when they will do so only
through choice and not from compul-
sion. The porter, like the waiter and
the barber and the hackman, has been
led to look upon the tip as his right,
and one to play or fight for. In the re-
vulsion of feeling which has come over
the public because of the growing de.
mands for tips on the part of the serv-
ing classes, the porter must suffer with
his fellows.

Lovely Woman and Her Folly.
clos Angles Times. )


Yesterday it was Consuelo Vanderbilt
married in the very flour of her sweet
girlhood to dissolute English Duke
and now finding life. unbearable. To
day it is Alice Thaw, married in early
youth after brief and casual acquaint-
ance to another English "nobleman,"
whose vices would disgrace the lowest
denizen Of the QUARTER Latin in Paris,
seeking to sever the bonds of matri-
mony.
1t will do no good to point moral
or adorn tale" with this new climax.
Did the burning of moth in the flame
ever save the wings of sister moth?
No more Will the sad experience of one
American woman save the next from
STOPPING to the same folly and meeting
the same fate as the sister moths have
met before.
Why do they stoop so low? What do
they gain? They get piece of worn
out, decayed manhood, born weakling,
spoiled in rearing, exhausted by excess
ses before the beard is well-growD.
They become partner in bearing a
load of debts hard to carry and severe
strain on their American millions.
They are received into the 'noble fam
family" with undisguised disdain aud
disrespect. Their husbands neglect
them at best, beat them at worst. And
all for the empty bubble Of a title, for the
dubious privilege Of wearing coronet,
or other insignia of frank, !" frayed, tar
nished or corrupted by time and the
vices of those who have carried them
before.
What better could they do? They
might pick some strapping youth Of
American birth, good manners, good

fathers, captains of industry, educated
capable, clean and sober, who woulc
keep the marriage contract intact "til
death does them part" They might il
an American home lead life of happi
ness, with devoted husband, if they
choose right. They might then presid,
over an American family where the ter
commandments and the statute Law
control, and they might devote thei
spare time and money to helping thei
fellow women to higher life.
Would all this be worth while2 Yes
ten thousand times, yes, if there is any
thing in heart joys to be preferred owe
heartaches, anything in honor to b
preferred above contempt, in love to b
set above hate.

Several Improvements are likely in

The parcels post will probably be pro-

The purport of the notes exchanged
between Japan and the United States
expresses the desire of both govern
ments for free and peaceful commerce
on the Pacific, and declare ia favor of
the open door in China and the mainte-
nance of the territorial integrity of that
empire.
This agreement--if agreement is a
proper defnition-fulfls the work be-
gun by John Hay, aud like his declara
tions OF policy with regard to China, it
is informal in character 1t is not
treaty; it has not the effect of an alli-
ance; it need not go to the Senate for
ratification. 1t is mere declaration of
policy. It's value is moral. 1t expresses
the intention of each government to re-
spect the rights and wishes Of the other.
The courteous assurances Of mutual
iCSpFC1s elo OcI0HlohV - oAGtdhBtuS
notes, the bit of picturesque diplomatic
flourish cannot prevent war between
this country and Japan, nor indeed can
the most binding treaty prevent war.
But declarations of peaceful intention
can do, have already done, much to
quiet the fears of the world, to show
that no clash is imminent between the
two powers that dominate the Pacific
Iu the pledge so assist in devisng
means to prevent disturbance in China
at the present critical time lies the
point in the exchange of notes at the
present moment. Nations united in a
common responsibility are in position
more easily to settle differences that
may arise between them. The two
masters of the Pacific agree to make
common cause of the integrity of China.
This secu, es their own peace and brings
quiet into the entire East. IT may be
that the nation which brought about
the tretay of Portsmouth has entered
upon noble career as keeper of peace
in the Pacific.

Ignoring the Consumers.

1t has remained for Senator Lodge, o
Massachusetts, to give in plain words the
attitude toward the American public as,
sumed by the Senate finance committee
in framing the schedules Of the pending
tariff bill. Being in full sympathy with the
committees ways of looking at things
Senator Lodge deliberately assured the
Senate that there were no consumers. The
people of the country. he said were all
treated as producers and their interests as
producers were given paramount consi der-
alton.
The theory evidently is that if the in
terests of the people as producers are con-
served all of them will have sufficient. pur-
chasing power to satisfy their wants as
consumers.
The trouble with this theory is that it
will not work out by any fair system of
reasoning
II is fundamentally wrong to assume
that the consumers exist for the profit of
the producers Production is called into
play to satisfy the desires of the consum-
ers and therefore the interests of the peo-
pie as consumers should be paramount.
Again. many consumers are so situated
that they cannot derive beneftsfrom tariff
duties designed to aid only the producers.
Where do the school teachers, the lawyers,
the doctors, the preachers, the bookkeepers,
and the clerical class generally, as the
workers in unprotected industries, have
their interests safeeuarded by tariff sched-
ules designed to make prices higher on
the necessities of life 2-Chicago Ne,os
