Undoubtedly there In great unrest In

John Fiirnoii, (ho ('hlcngo banker, In
credited with having said: "A million
aire Is a ulnve." This In true. What Is
a mero million Is thesu days? A man
must have at least twenty million be
fore ho can even he considered "well
off."
W'lillo other Kuropenn nations have
been lighting each other or In various
ways have tilled up their tlino nt home
tho people of the Itrltlsh Isles have
been exploring tho globe and bavo been
pel zing on the territories of savage and
ImrbarotiH peoples wherever It could Ih
done. The result In that Groat Britain
owns n largo area of tho western hem
isphere than tho United States nnd It
ban extenslvo oNscNslonn In Asia, Af

"Tho lilea that tho wearing of wings,
breasts and other feather ornaments on
woiiiou'h millinery niHossltntcs tho
wholesale slaughter of birds Is nlllosh,"
mid a manufacturer of feather goods.
"Ouco In a while a fashion roincn In
that calls for n particular feather or
ijulll that only one bird produces, but
wings, breastH and even the whole birds
nro made from the feathers plucked
from poultry drcNxcd for table use. Wo
tako tmlcs of feathers, sort them, dye
them, brush them, curl them and work
them up Into whatever Is wanted, and
not a blrd'H life Is Haerllleed."
The development of any new Illumi
nating protein appears not to affect tho
demand for light In other forms. The
electric light, both are and lucnudci
rent, has been added to gnu rather than
taibstltuted for It. More gas has been
burned, In jiivjHirtlou to tho population
of American cities, xluco (Irtish and I'M
Ikoii uiailo their discoveries than for
merly. Tho iimi of oil for lamps In
creases, notwithstanding gas, electric
ity, acetylene gtiH ami devices such as
tho Incandescent burner, which produce
far moro light with a given ipmutlty of
Illuminating iluld.
Wo now know why tho scepter In
hlowly passing from the bauds of tho
masculine. It Is because of his clothes.
Miss Agnes Iteppller, a Philadelphia
essayist and club woman, says so. She
mj'H so long as men wore costume that
"Interpreted their strength, enhanced
their persuasiveness and concealed their
BhortcoiulngH," so long women accepted
tlioiti as masters. When men rashly
abandoned tho bright costumes that
charmed tho other sex they saw their
llulsh. Tho situation teems hopeless,
Kltber men uuiNt go back to velvet Unco
breeches mid gold buckles, slashed dou
blet, lace trimmings, feathered hat and
Uuegrlo or let woman go on dominat
ing. It Is up to man.
Social wrongH are corrected not by
exposing their results but by searching
for and removing their causes. Wo
have preached against lynch Inw for a
decade, but It Increases. The wisest of
American statesmen and public men
nro today recognising the fact thnt this
preaching law nnd order will not make
It, that there Is no stopping this fever
In our blood until respect and love for
law has taken the place of apathy. Imw
to bo respected must bo made respect
able. To get for it tho active biipjvort
of moral men and women, to mnko
them willing to light to protect Its dig
nity from outrage It must have vitali
ty must, as the old deputy marshal
said, bavo "blood and bones."
A movement U spreading through tho
Vest which has for Its object tho per
iiineut marking of the old trull, along
Alilch tho country wan penctrutixl aim
crossed by adventurer nnd emigrants
In tho period before tho construction of
railroad. This U a highly praUo
Irorthy undertaking dud to tu degree
g me x lines s
that tho object Is faithfully accom
plished will be a nioro noteworthy con
tribution to history than many of tho
books that are bo classed. Out In Kau
nas they bavo a "trail day," which la
observed In tho Kansas public schools.
The purpose of It Is to Instruct thu
children In tho history of tho old Santa
Fo trail, with Its significance lt the
growth of tho West and through the
Interest thus aroused In tho community
to rnlso money for marking the courso
of tho trail which stretched for -100
miles across what la now the Htnto of
Kansas when It was a wlldcrnesw.
It In beginning to look an If the pro
jected tunnel under Iichring strait to
unlto tho railroad systems of the two
continents might becomo n reality, al
though It ban been more or less scoffed
at an tho Imprnctlcablo Idea of a dream
er. The ItUflHlun government In said to
bo tnklng a eorloun view of the scheme.
Iichring strait In only nbout thlrty-olx
miles wldo nt Its narrowest point, be
tween Capo I'rlnco of Wales on tho
Alasknn shore nnd tho Ennt enpe In
A'sliu In tho middle of the strait aro
tho Dlomedo islands, whose presence
will facllltato tho enterprise from an
engineering standpoint, ns they will
servo as a midway station for the ex
cavation nnd vontllntlon of tho tunnel.
Tho dlstnnco between tho Dlomcdes nnd
cither slioro Is less than that Itctwccn
Dover and Calais, and no engineer of
rcputo doubts tho possibility of success
fully tunneling under tho English chan
not. Last yenr 0,007 individuals, firms
nnd corporations engaged In legitimate
mercantile occupations In this country
suspended business nnd failed to pny
their debts. Thu number seems large,
considering thnt 1005 wan a year of
general prosperity, but It Is small
when ono considers thnt there were
l,It.r)2,017 concerns In business In thu
United Htntes. Fraud Is ono of the
constant causes of commcrclnl failures,
hut It In far from being the principal
one. Fraud never can bo got rid of,
but It does not nppenr to bo making
any headway. In 1002 the percentage
of failures ascribed to that cause was
10.1. In 11)01 It wan 8.(1, and In UK).") It
was 0.2. If any reliance can be placed
on Hrceutages tlio commercial world
Is not permeated with dishonesty. The
public, which has read so much about
grafting In high places, In politics nnd
grand finance, may tako comfort In tho
thought that dishonesty Is not rife
among tho average business men of thu
country. Only four of last year's fail
ures woro due to speculation. That does
not provo thnt njicculntlon In rare
among men engaged In commercial oc
cupations. Probably there nro many of
them who nro moro or less siwculatlvo,
but only four got caught. If there bad
been a panic or n sharp depression In
values tho number of failures duo to
speculation would bavo been much
larger. Incompotenco nnd lack of enp
Ital nro tho chief cnuses of bnnkruptcy
to-dny, nn they have been from tho be
ginning. To them (V7.8 per cent of last
year's failures aro aserlhcfl. The man
who has exceptional business ability
can mako n start with practically no
capital nnd scoro n succoes. Men of
only nverngo ability who aro handi
capped by the lack of adequate capital
are llkoly to go to tho wall, even when
general conuuerclnl conditions nre fa
vorable. Of the failures of 100S, 2.-I28
were duo to Incompotenco. Thoo fail
ures cost creditors 910,000,000, that
being tho difference botvveun assets and
liabilities. The failures duo to fraud
wero less expensive, the loss to cred
itor being n llttlo over fil.00O.00O. it
Is business Incapacity rather than dis
honesty against which creditors should
bo on their guard.
Tlio I ml Inn MX it Clllai'ii,
Of nil aboriginal races our Indians
aro tho Illicit, except, perhaps, the
Maoris of New Zealand. They are
more enduring than the .South Sea
Islanders, more Intelligent than native
Africans, moro resolute than the In
dians of .South ami Central America.
They have furnished strategists In
plenty, orator, a creative scholar In
Sequoyah. In tho Atlantic Charles I.
Harvey argues that the Indians were
the Inventors of modern war methods
the open order ami the Individual
Initiative. Uuller met In South Africa
the same tactics that llraddock met In
I'enusylvnnla, and the Itrltlsh had
learned llttlo In the meantime. As It
has been some yearn since there was
ruiy outbrenk to revive the old libel
that "there U no good Indian but a
dead ono," It Is quite time that the
Indian became simply a cltlren. He
will bo less picturesque but moro com-
fortnble.
Tho Iilrnl riiittilnif.
In Moutnun, along the line of the
Great Northern Ilnllroad, a pelting rain
wnH falling one November day. Inside
tho section house, tho rusty soft coal
stove, potting In Its Uw of sawdust,
was rod with heat. Two section hands
came In. drlpplnj: like tho proverbial
rats, nud proceeded to stand as close
,to tho Ktovo as they well could without
being scorched. Shortly clouds of steam
ascended from their soaked clothing,
and tho small room soon resembled a
vapor bath.
"I tell you, Mike," said ono ns bo
squeezed the water from the hem of
Ids trousers, "overalls U tho things to
wear, fer no mntter how wet they are,
they are soon dry."
"Naw, Jawn, mncklnaws Is tlio byes,"
replied tho other, ns ho looked down
with satisfaction at bis plntn suit of
thick woolen. "Macklnnws la tho only
clothe, fer when ye nro wet and cold,
they knpo yo so war nun and dhry."
