James Bryce la "The American
Commonwealth," observes that up to
1830 or 1840 there wore no great fortunes
la a a erica, few large fortunes
and no poverty. But, writing of Mie
later eighties, he says: "Mow there is
Borne poverty, muuy large fortunes,
ana a greatei number of gigantic fortunes
thau In any other country la
the world." That was twenty years
ago! What would Mr. Bryce say toduy
if he could read statistics showing
that there are three million olUci&lly
recognized paupers in the United
States? That a million and a naif
4 children between the ages of ten and
fifteen are employed in our mines and
factories? Tnat one person in every
twelve who ales In Mew York city is
burled in the potter's lield?
As showing the rapid growth of individual
fortunes In thlsoouritry there
is inteiest iu a list of rich men printed
by the Mevr York Sun In 1855 according
te which Mew York city at
that time boasted only twenty eight
millionaires. And a pamphlet publlshi

1845 Philadelphia could show only
ten estates valued at a million or moro.

Girard which reached be von millions,

dren of millionaire lines have a perfect
right to dispose as they pleane of
their fortunes and their lives, if they

after all, this is a free country. To
which we might reply that no mr.n

on show and seltish pleasures
while thousands of his fellow men are
perishing of want, while lens of

An observant porsou in the seuato
KalU.ry yesterday noted an occurrence
which, while without bearing upon
the matters of state which were un
der consideration in that august body,
is hiLoreot'iutf for several reasons, one
of which is the ftct that Senator
Tillman unconsciously figured in the
episode.
Three beautiful young ladles entered
thcigallery and sealed themselves
near the above mentioned person.
Two of them; Judged by their conversation
were rrequent visitors to
the galleries while the third was apparently
a visitor to Washington.
She asked lirst of all thr.t Senator
Tillman bo pointed out to her, and
au expression of disappointment came
iato tn.r face when sue was told that
he was not in the chax.bjr. Severe*!
minutes were spent then in caoUil
references to the "next best" Senator
Tillman being absent, and tue
next be t was Senator La F,n oi.Le.
Sundauly o .e of the two were more

Senators' exo.aimed, "There Is Tillm<n
