POOR JOHN o. HAS
ONLY 5000 .ooo,o

The New York World says:
THE litigation that has brought
about the examination of John d.
Rockefeller as witness to tell of the
present relations between Standard
Oil and its former subsidiary compan.
les supposedly disassociated from it
under the Judgment of the United
States supreme court has involved al
so a quiet inquiry into Ike stock hold
ings and other forms OF wealth of Mr..
Rockefeller
From all the data available, and
one of the associate counsel in this
inquiry said the available data were
been reached that John D. Rockefel-
Ter is now worth s90o.060,O00
This estimate, it is believed comes
within few millions Of being correct.
1t is a practical impossiblity to arrive
al an exact estimate, for the daily fluc
tuations of stocks may add or take
away several millions from the oil
Kings wealth on paper. The great
bulk of his wealth is invested in OIL
railroad banking and industrial
stocks.
For the purposes Of an average
the Rockefeller income may be esti-
mated at $60,000000 year. or $4,000
600 month. or $1,153,S46,15 week,
or s11440 a minute, or $3.50 % a sec
ond.
He has given $174.5O0 600 to var
ious charitable, educational and sci
entifc institutions. but this has not
made any impression on the vast prin-
cipal of his wealth. being merely gifts
out of the income

share OF the improvements for which
the debt was made. Legally, they are
bound for IL now Morally, they have
the right TO demand that as the Fed
eral Government took Them from the
old state, practically by violence, and
forced on them the burdens of separ-
ate statehood 1t should assume their
debt. The trouble is the new state
neglected the matter too long. It took
the position that as It could not be
forced to pay 1t would not bother about
paying The Supreme Court has
taught it differently.
The Democratic newspapers in West
Virginia hint. or assert, that the Re
publican leaders there were in league
with holders of the West Virginia part
OF the old state bonds and connived
at the movement to enforce them.
That is matter of surmise or opinion
and a charge hard to prove. There
may be evidence to support It, but
none very clear has been produced.

not be nominated, they should ask
that all his delegates be thrown to
Mr.. Clark. Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Under.
wood are the closest kind Of friends.
They understand one another thor.
oughly and It is to them and their
work that is due the harmony and the
team work of the Democrats In the
House of Representatives.
Mr.. Underwood knows thoroughly
and well that il Mr.. Clark is nomina-
ted he will be elected President. In
that case 1t means Democratic
House of Representatives also and
that means Underwood for Speaker of
the next House. That IL the biggest
job in this country except the presi-
dency and with the kind of record I'm
derwood would make as Speaker, he
would succeed Mr.. Clark as president
because he is still young man and
can afford to wait few years. Take
1t altogether it looks like the Honor
able Champ Clark would be named on
the second ballot or not later than the
third as the standard bearer of the
Democratic party at Baltimore the

Doctor usually takes glass or two of
light wine with his luncheon or his
dinner, distilled liquors only upon a
physicians prescription, and beer only
in Germany; not of course. that he
leaves his conscience behind him, but
because the domestic beer does not
agree with him. Mr.. Roosevelt is suf-
fciently temperate in his beverages;

There is so much difference in the
campaign being made by the Demo
cratic aspirants for the presidential
nomination and that of the Republi-
cans that 1t is almost a sacrilege to
mention both contests in the same
letter. Nearly everybody in the politi-
cal world in Washington is contrast,
ing the decency and dignity of the
Democratic candidates with that of
the Republicans. When any patriotic
citizen sits down quietly and figures
on the vituperative disgusting and alb
horent campaign made by the Repub-
licans and the quiet decent and states
manlike attitude of such men as
Champ Clark and Oscar Underwood,
they can but come to ons conclusion
that is, there is not a Democratic can
didate who would not make a better
president than either of the candi-
dates on the Republican ticket. So
far as the Democratic candidates are
concerned the Honorable Champ Clark
is still way in the lead He has been

PRESIDENTIAL BEVERAGES.

OF what beverage doth Caesar drink
I that he has grown so great? MIX,
4 replies DR.. Abbott who often lunches
with him. He drinks too much milk,
in the opinion of Or. Abbott who, how
ever. is a doctor OF divinity and not of
medicine, and may be supposed to
Judge rather Of moral than of physical
effects.
We do not suppose it is the business
of anybody what a candidate for Office
drinks. though many persons think ii
is their business. We 40 not believe
we have reached the point where
man must be total ab5tainer in Or
der TO hold office, though we have GER
tainlv travelled far from the time when
IT popularized a candidate to say that
he drank hard cider to The time when
candidates best friend is obliged
to certify that he drinks excessively OF
milk.
President Mckinley had some min
eral water sent to him when he was
in his room at the Capitol signing bills
during the last hours of Congress,
and a prohtonist agitator denounc-
ed him for drinking champagne, which
he unquestionably had a right to
but as he didn't have the game
he didn't wish the name, and the EN-
PITY mineral bottles were produced in
as evidence IN the great case of the
Rev. Wilbur T. Crafts against the
President. Earlier than that Ruther-
ford b. Hayes was not permitted by
his wife to have wine on the White
House table. though it was understood
in Washington that Rutherford was
not i'm private q total abstainer When

toned to use water for ablution and
wine for irrigation, were TO be elter-
taiued, Secretary Evarts was permit
ted to entertain and to pay the wine
bills
The stories of Mr. Cleveland's use
of liquor while President were labr'-
cations. like worse stories that were
circulated about him by his personal
and political enemies. He was per
fectlv correct in his habits. But he
was not a total abstainer, and when
he and Daniel Lamont and his party
were in St Louis they we're entertain
ed at a club, and tray laden with
glasses. half containing moderate
charges of whisky and the rest con
tanning water was passed TO him and
Mr.. Cleveland poured the contents OF
one glass of liquor INTO another which
he drank. remarkng in explanation
of the double ration: Daniel doesn
drink
Vice President Fairbanks was ad-
dicted TO buttermilE WHAT Mr. TAFT S
private habits are we DO not know
and would not be mpertihent enough
10 ask. IN public we believe he turns
his wine glasses wrong side up No
one so far as we know has suspected
Mr.. Roosevelt OF intemperance m
drinking. and if il be true that reports
of his application OF hot and rebeilious
liquors to his blood have been circu
lated during the campaign we believe
thev are due entirely to- the eharacte r
Of his speeches. IF he can utter such
vast masses OF wild and whirling
words on milk he is prudent 10 AVOID
