Graft at Sayre.

There is graft even in private
EN- mployment. Employing foreign
ers and suspeuding Americans has
resulted in the foreman of Lehigh
Valley shop at Sayre being dis

tribute in the form of graft to the
foreman. The foreigners who did
this boasted that they were thus
protected and would not be dis
charged or suspended. Several
Americans lodged c,mplaint againsr
this and were discharged, but
subsequent investigation vindica:cd
them. This foreman was in league
with padrone, who shared with
him the emoluments received from
conducting commissary and for
renting box cars for tenenents.

Are the British rich in immediate

tests of the we'll to do against the rap
idly increasing burdens of taxation. of
which no man knows the end. The
prediction is freely made by English
men of affairs resident of this coun-
try that any substantial increase in
taxation will be followed by an exodus
Of the British well to do, and espe-
cially of the British rich from the
British isles. They will seek in this

GEORGE JACKSON.

The Man Who First Found Gold In
Rocky Mountains and Died Poor.
To-day Idaho Springs will dedicate
a monument to the man who hrst
found gold in the Rocky mountains.
George Jackson is dead and beyond
the reach of the honor paid his mem
ory. He died several years ago In an
obscure corner Of the State where he
was making fresh try at fortune,
trying again in old age to find for
himself enough gold to remove him
from the necessity to keep up the
search. Independent and self-reliant
to the end as he had been when fifty
years ago he was living on the natur-
al food of the country and making his
home under the stars, he who had
pointed the way for many men to be-
come millionaires through mining
gold, lived and died with empty pock-
cts.
The day George Jackson found the
first gold in the land out Of which a
great State was to be reared because
Of his find, he was most interested in
the fact that he had found some dig
gings where he George Jackson) was
going to make fortune If he could
and that he had killed a mountain
sheep which would help out his di-
minishing supply of States" grub un-
til he could get back to where he
could get more of the same. His chief
concern right then was the fact that
his dogs, Drum" and Kit" had been
worsted in fight with carcajou and
were too lame to travel. There wasn't
much in all that to suggest thoughts
Of empire building or greatness. Time
has taken care of that and brought
1t into perspective. On his part 1t
was simple act in the days work;
In the light of fifty years we are
ready to pay with our regard the debt
Of obligation under which he placed
q State which set up business in his
footsteps.
Time is Jealous of It's large tasks.
1t picks and tests the men 1t permits
to perform them. Most often 1t con-
siders the privilege of doing them
sufficient reward. Jackson was per-
mitted to find the gold; others were
forced to be content with merely min
Ing it. The others grew rich; Jack
son had been marked for blazer of
trails, a searcher. So he died poor in
the midst of the rich field he had
sown; died as he had lived a poor
prospector doing the work Time had
picked him to do. He left to the fu-
ture only a memory, but that will live
on long after those who were privi-
lGed only to harvest in his field will
have been forgotten. 1t is way Time
has Of evening up the score.-Denver

He pays tax for the privilege of
shooting game.
He pays tax on every servant.
He pays tax when he dies-or his
estate does-and leaves property.
Americans have little idea of the
various taxes that are imposed in
England" says a writer on the sub
ject. III you are a renter and pay,
say $500 a year rent, you would be
obliged to pay not less than 500 addi-
tional, which would cover the light
ing, paving and police protection. But
richer people are caught in all sorts
Of ways. For instance, in England 1
would pay $5 year for the privilege
of wearing this ring. 1t carries a
crest and II had a carriage with
armorial bearings upon 1t l would be
obliged to pay $40 a year for that
privilege. When a man dies his estate
must pay tax of per cent on every.
thing, II his estate is below s2,5O0
in value; 2 per cent on $1,000, 3 per
cent on $4,000, per cent on s125.-
900, Az per cent on 100000, per
cent on $225.000, 51a per cent on $780,
600, per cent on s75O,OOO, per cent
on $1,250,000. s per cent on $2,500O0O,
