How Mr. Carnegie Fares Under the
Tariff.

Tariff.
In speech in the House of Represen-
tatives, Mr.. w. L. Scott arose to a ques-
ton of privilege, and gave an account of
a conversation between himself and Mr.
Carnegie in the Ways and Means Com
mittee room on the 18th of May last.
In this account he said:
"Mr. Carnegie remarked that | had said that
the Edgar Thomson Steel Works had made az
high as 81 100000 in one year; and he stated
that the sum would not pay the interest either
OD the mortgage debt of the company or the in.
terest on the cost of the works. | cannot recall
to which he applied it. replied that had not
made any such statement as that, and he in
quired what had said. To this | answer that
| had stated he had drawn out Of the Edgar
Thomson teelWOrks, as his share of the profits
during one year. AS high as 81, 100000, or the
equivalent of $4,000 day for 800 days He
promptly replied that that was correct, and that
be did not deny it. But he said you may
not perhaps be aware that in that year gave 10
the city of Pittsburgh the sum of 100000 for a
library and to the city of Allegheny 100000
"These are the figures as [ recall them. To
this answered that certainly the contribution
of so large sum of money by any gentleman
for either educational or charitable purposes, un-
der ordinary circumstances, would en'itle him
to great credit; but that in his case | did not
think it rose TO that high order of philanthropy
which under different circumstances he might
be entitled to. That if in fair and open cOmpe-
tition with his fellow men he had accumulated
81 100000 in one year, and had given away one
million OF it, as he stated, no one could question
the motives by which he was influenced. That
where system of bad and vicious laws enabled
a man to accumulate 81 800 900 IN one year out
OF any industry OF the country, as his share alone
of the profits of his company, he might well az
ford to be liberal with his gains to popularize a
policy that makes it possible for him to make in
one year so large a sum OF money. Mr.. Carnc-
ge's reply TO me was, Oh, you are free
trader said, Yes, am IA ree-lrader, if you
mean by that that am opposed to such policy
as discrminates in favor OF the few against the
many"
Mr.. Carnegie above named is the gen.
tleman who is said to have written book
entitled Triumphant Democracy" and
who has recently taken a coaching trip
through Scotland with a prominent Re-
publican leader While he was thus
spending the income from his profitable
iron works, the workmen in these same
works were ont on a strike against an at
tempt to reduce their wages. The ques-
ton not unnaturally arises, is the tariff cal
culatcd to produce Triumphant Democ-
racy" or " Triumphant Plutocracy:" It
is to be feared by Pennsylvania monopo-
lists that their employees will some day
discover that the millionaires are made by
the contributions levied through the ac-
ton of the tariff upon the working mil
lions.

The Republicans are changing front
in face of the enemy That fact shows
the consciousness of false start, and in
such discussion as that of this campaign
it Is a blunder which cannot. readily be
retrieved. The blunder is proved not
only by the action OF the Senate, but by
the withdrawal from the party in this
campaign of Republicans who upon the
old Republican ground of moderate
tariff would have remained, as they much
preferred to remain, within the party Mr..

Cambridge, says that he is too loyal to
old Republican principles to support the

experience in it. He says: I'VE were

Pass Him Around.

We learned of . man here last week
who, we think, was trying to play con-
fidence game upon ore Of our farmers in
regard to the purchase Of a 5000 lot of
fat cattle. He professed to be member
of q commission firm at Chicago, but
had no credentials, letters of credit or
anything to show his responsibility, but
he didn't get possession OF the cattle, all
the same. Some time since a similar
confidence game was played at Stanton,
this state, by which widow woman lost
a considerable sum Of money. Those
who have transactions with strangers
cannot be too careful in transferring to
them anything valuable (property or OBJ
ligations) without full equivalent in
hand. Pass him around. People who

Exhibit ut Fremont,

The Columbus teachers feel a little
proud just now, because they have COM
pared school work with other schools in
the state and find that the work of our
Columbus schools stands second to none.
True, Omaha was there with their Sc
lected work (and she had a splendid
shOwing) but the regular written work
Of the different grades in the Omaha
schools were similar to ours and not a
particle better. Lincoln fell behind,
failed to even get q place in the race
About 200 square feet was assigned the
city schools. First came the kinder
garten work, with weaving of all designs
and shades; perforating, drawing, en-
broidary, etc. On the boards under the
kindergarten work was displayed the
written work of this grade, consisting of
slate writing, pencil writing, number
and language work. Next, the work Of
the second primary kindergarten, writ
ing, language, numbers and geography.
The work of each grade was exhibited
on the wall and boards, arranged as
table along side. By beginning at the
primary grade you could follow the de-
velopment of the child as he passed on
to the higher grades. This was one of
the marked features of tn Columbus ex-
hibit.
The other departments followed in
regular order. All kinds of school
work-the regular Of the schools-was
displayed and it was remarked by many
present that the Columbus exhibit for
style, arrangement and exactness sur
passed any exhibit there. The Schuyler
schools had some very fine drawings, but
aside from this, their work was very
poor. In fancy drawing Columbus
lacked; she didn't have any moulding
or paper folding, but every other depart
ment was represented in full. The
teachers from the city all returned to
school with renewed vigor feeling that
they are not behind other cities in edu-
cational matters.

Last Friday the jurors from the
north part of the county accepted the
invitation of Mr.. Shaff, teacher in the
Columbus public school, to visit the
school and see the written work Of the
scholars then on exhibition. We were
greatly surprised at the extent and
thoroughness of the work displayed, and
to demonstrate the neatness Of the work
done by tho lite hands, We will say that
during one hours examination Of the
work, We did not find a single written
page that bore an ink blot. The kinder
garten work of the school interested us
greatly, as We saw in it great advance
over the old uninteresting and unproft-
able way of endeavoring to drill in the
minds Of small children cold practical
facts. By this new system, and also this
plan of written work for exhibition, the
scholars have an incentive for study
and thorough work that is surprising in
its result. and the pride exhibited by the
small children in showing the visitors to
the school tho work of their hands, is in
itself an evidence of the value of such
exercises in the school room. It was the
most complete general exhibit OF school
work we ever saw, and We were pleased
to see that tho parents Of the children
showed interest in the work by their
presence to examine the exhibit.

what was the matter. He is a German,
has been in America about year roam

letter from home telling of the death of
his mother. He had become discour-
aged, disheartened, and determined to
commit suicide. With this intent he
had gone to the Loup river, taken his
outer garments, containing bis money,
cast them into the river, and was about
to sacrifice himself as a victim of the
turbulent waters, when a sudden pain in

and his wanderings had brought him
where he was found. He did not seem
