No Longer a MiIlionaire's Club.

The good people who feared that the country was going to destruction be- cause there were so many millionaires in the United States senate will get considerable satisfaction out of the subjoined post mortem report from the Philadelphia Inquirer:
 No longer is the United States senate the leading millionaires' club of America. The number of million aires in the upper branch of congress has been decimated. and the time may not be far distant when the senate will become known as the poor mans club.
 "No less than s50,OOO.O00 worth of senators has been ripped from the Opper branch by an operation as sim pie as the one that left Adam without one of his ribs. The late democrat ic cyclone had much to do with it. From present indications there will have to be formed an association for the conservation of our miiliOnaires in the senate unless it is to become the poor mans club.
 "The death of Stephen B. Ell1ins of West Virginia carried s15.OOO.00O out of the senate The retirement of Nel- son w. Aldrich of Rhode Island car ried s1O,OOO,O away. Four million went with Eugene Hale of Maine, when he made way for Senator John son, elected by the democratic legis- lature.
 Chauncey M. Depew of New York, director of tIirty-twO differ2n: rail- roads walked off with S7,O00.000. It was his own and he had q right to walk off with it, but the senate in the aggregate became just that much poorer.
 Then there was John Keene of New Jersey, who. while scarcely in the class of Elkins, was worth s5,OOO,OOO. When he left another s5,0OO,OOO iron man bit the dust, so far as the senate was concerned.
 ''In the broad. sweet fields of pri- vate life wandered Nathan B. Scott of West Virginia with his s4,OOO,OOO. With him. along the rose-bordered by way. went James P Taliaferro of Florida, with s3,OO0,OOO. Hughes of Colorado died, removing another s2,- 900 900.
 There was s5O,OOO.OOO right at one clip. The men elected to replace these are virtually poor men, or, at least, what the world considers poor in these days of big fortunes.
 Watson of West Virginia, who re- placed Elkins, is about the only mill liOnaire in the batch of baby members. He is worth $2,000000.
 Senator O'Gorman of New York is by no means wealthy and he expects to be obliged to support his large fam fly. on s7.500, which is his salary in the senate. He used to receive s17,500 as judge in one of the New York courts and he admits now that it is not going to be easy to keep up the | pace on s7.5O0. Senator | Money of Mississippi, who retired with

monson that the greatest company ot all-the Phelps Dodge concern-shows
 in Mexico, as well as in Arizona, g commendable public spirit and sense of obligation.
 But when Dr. Ayes implies that the revolution in Mexico has its basis in the ignorance of the people down there, logic does not follow him. The revolution is, in fact, q manifestation of the unrest of the ambitious classes in Mexico-young fellows, who, having gained more or less education, found themselves denied all opportunity to take a hand in public affairs. Gen. eral Diaz has undoubtedly done more for the material uplift of Mexico than any other statesman could have done. The heavy debt of the Mexican people to him will not be fully understood by them until long after he has passed away But the cardinal mistake made by him in his policy was to en- courage education and at the same time make no modification in the despotic form of government. He felt that the Mexican people ought to be content to leave the entire control of their affairs to him. He apparently did not understand that with educa- ton and enlightenment grows discon- tent if the natural ambitions of the individual are represeed. If the min ing companies in Mexico had years ago joined the government in the promotion of education everywhere, the revolution would have come much sooner

A Correction From Arizona.

In letter published in New York q fortnight ago, the Rev. pr. Ayes, Bishop of Mexico" Cfor what denom- ination we do not remember), charged American mining companies with a certain moral responsibility for the way in Mexico. of all the great American mining and smelting com panies delving after gold and silver in Mexico. not one, so far as I have been able to learn, has placed here an institution of any kind for the in tellectual, moral, social and spiritual betterment of the people," wrote Dr Ayes
 The Rev. Ernest ". Simonson, a Protestant Episcopal clergyman and the dean of southern Arizona, comes forward with a correction of Dr. Ayes statement relative to the mining companies. The Rev. Simonson points out that the Phelps-D Dodge people, at least, have done a great deal for the betterment of the people of Mexico in precisely the lines mentioned by Dr Ayes It is easy to believe the Rev. Simonson's statements, for it is well known that the Phelps-Dodge inter ests have manifested a keen interest in the moral, religious and education al wants of their employees in Arizona.
 
 pany constructed a splendid Y. M. c. A. building at Bisbee, and also fine library and club building for its miners. It has gone to considerable lengths in the same line in other camps in this territory. and from time to time has made substantial contri- buttons for the benefit of the territor- ial university.
 Dean Simonson states that his weekly visits to Nacozari, Sonora, be- gan about four years ago. There are less than a hundred American families there The town has a population of about five thousand. It is the head quarters of the Moctezuma Mining company, which is a branch of the Phelps Dodge company of New York. When MT. Simonson began his min- istrations to the American families, the Moctezuma folks at once put him the matter of salary. They have paid all the expenses of his mission. They have given the town furnished schoolhouses (for the upkeep of which they pay $500 monthly), and a $40,O0O free >library, and a completely equipped (stOne) church for the use of the Roman Catholic families. My experience in Nacozari in meeting with the Phelps-Do people in the activity of their mining industry has led me-" writes MT. SimonsOn. ito believe that this American company | in Mexico is as much interested in the | intellectual. moral social and spirit | ual betterment of both Mexican and American as it is in the bags of gold" |
 The conclusions drawn by pr. Ayes | that the great mining companies of | the west and of Mexico owe morally | a heavy obligation to the communities :. from which they receive their divi- dends, is altogether sound. And it | is a pleasure to know from Dean Si-

I'VE could have had that any time"
said Mrs. Bowser.
Yes, if you had been a loving wife
and good housekeeper. There are
things to tempt their husbands appe-
tite. They would have had a lobster
already broiled for him.
And he would have sat down to
dinner and wanted to know why in the
old Harry she didn't have veal outlets.
I'm sorry, however. 1 think you'll
have hard job to find lobster just
now"
But I'll find one tomorrow if tI%re
are any in the United States-a big one
"a fat one-one full of the incest kind
of meat Gosh, but it makes my
mouth water to think of it,.
I'll leave an order with our fish
man the first thing in the morning.
you'll leave nothing, except that
you will leave the lobster alone after
I get it! This is my affair and you
keep hands off,
That night Mr.. Bowser dreamed of
Holsters. There were scores and scores
of them, and they were as big as cider
barrels and had claws four feet long.
One of them took after him and was
running him through the woods when
he aWoke with a yell.
Breakfast was hurried through that
the fish man might be consulted. Mrs.
Bowser renewed her offer of the night
previous, but it was repealed with dig
nifty.
you had your golden opportunity
and failed to grasp it, said Mr.. Bow
ser, land now you need not interfere"
On his way to the office he called al
four different fish stores. but failed to
find a lobster at any of them. Then he
went to telephoning, and after many
disapPointments he struck a place that
answered:
why. yes; have a lobster, but only
one, and he is promised for a wedding
supper tonight. HOLSTERS are mighty
scarce just now, you know
But must have one
IF you had only been an hour ear
lier.''
s.But I want that lobster. How much
did the man pay2"
He is to pay dollar when he
comes after it,
I'll send two by messenger boy
and you let him have it. Tell the man
the thing got away
The boy and the money were sent
and the lobster became the sole prop
erty of Mr.. Bowser. He was taken to
a restaurant and IS cents paid in ad-
vance for his keep in the ice box until
the usual hour for going home. Then
he was placed in a basket, newspa-
per tied over the top and he was start
ed on what was believed to be his last
journey on this earth. Mr.. Bowser
took the street car to his corner The
basket sat between his feet and he
hardly took his eyes off it. Most of the
passengers guessed that he had a cat
in the basket, and a fat man voiced the
general sentiment when he said:
you can see by the CLINT in the
mans eyes, and by the cruel lines
around his mouth that he is taking
the cat to her dooml I'll bet a dollar
to a nickel that he is one of them
