THE MILLIONAIRES.

PATHETIC LAMENT ON LOST GREATNESS.

NEW YORK, October 13. ■ Mr Eugene Zimmerman, who has just returned from England on a visit to his daughter, the Duchess of Manchester, has issued a statement that millionaires are going out of fashion m the United States. "Nobody loves millionaires anymore," he declares. "Once millionaires were the nations popular heroes, brilliant examples set np for the youth of the country to follow, but now everybody is throwing bricks at them or making laws aimed at tho rich. "The millionaire, following the instinct of self-preservation, is trying to find a seat very far back. He dare not show his head m governmental affairs any more, for somebody is always around to throw something. All lie' can, do m these days is to vote. . "If a millionaire is sent to the Senate somebody accuses him of buying his J seat, and no President valuing his.politi- J cal life dare give a millionaire a Cabinet j position. "Instead of sending successful men tothe National and State Legislatures to make our laws, we are sending men who could not run a peanut stand. How can we expect men who never were prosper* ous themselves to enact laws to make the' country x>rosperoiis? It's awful. The millionaire has no chance any more." {
