ONE sOURCE OF wEAI,TH

But is this so? Have human laws
nothing to do with the contemporary
| distribution of wealth? Some OF the
largest fortunes of our times nave been
made out of investments in real estate.
Property purchased for nothing has
risen enormously in value, and its
chance owner sitting still has taken to
himself the unearned increment and be-
come king of wealth among the hogs
of poverty. Is this Gods work, or have
the deficiencies of human laws permit
ted and accomplished it?
Once upon time there was man
who kept thread and needle store on a
dirty street of Connecticut village.
He was a stupid. immoral man. He
could neither read nor write. He could
not keep his accounts straight, and he
did small business in poor way. His
only amusement was to get drunk occa-
siOnally and to beat his wife. Then he
would appear III the police court, and
his only extravaganza was paying the
fines the magistrate imposed on him.
He contributed nothing otherwise to the
support OF the state. and he did not even
have children who might be drafted in
time of war. But he had worth
less brother who pre-empted 100 acres of
land in a Western state, and who, dying,
left 1t to HIM. The thread and needle
man tried to sell or to give 1t away, and
finally he thought that he had lost it
through sales for taxes which he had
neglected to pay. He did not care, and
his mind was too sodden for him to even
remember about it. When he got to be
over fifty years of age he discovered
that great city had been butt by other
mems efforts about this property, that
the tax titles which encountered it
were void, and that he was millionaire.
Maybe this was Gods work. Maybe
it wasn't. Maybe it was the result of
vicious lack of proper legislation. Why
should chance owner of real estate,
purchased without foresight and held
through stupidity and as a barrier to
the progress of his neighborS, be allowed
to pocket the rise in its value and lord
ii over the men who have had too much
wisdom and public spirit to do the same
thing? This is the question with which
they wrestled in ancient Italy. and the
blood of TIBERIUS and GAIUS GRAC-
CHUs was shed to witness the sin of such
a system. This is the question with
which they are wrestling in England
and Ireland to-day. Feudal holdings
founded on violence and fav0ritism
have made them nation of landed idlers
and starving peasants. JOHN STUART
MILL thought that legislation could
=
owners title to the profit which came
from the rise in the value of land, be-
cause he had contributed no more to its
existence than any other member of the
community in wi ich he lived. The
Pioneer Press does not think 50. The
GLOBE agrees with JOHN STU ART Mill.

MORAL COURAGE.

While RevS. SMITH and CONWAY are
on the subject of the division of the
school fund, their ways may be cheered
by a modern instance of much endu-
rance for cOnScience's sake. There is
an Eastern college which requires its
undergraduates to attend public re-
ligious services every morning at s
O'Clock. This is matter of considera-
bic personal inconvenience to good
many of them, especially when they
have been up late the night before, and
they are very fruitful in eXpedients TO
avoid this duty. Once upon a time
Catholic undergraduate hit upon de-
vice which promised complete enamel
patton. He told the faculty that he had
conscientious scruples against entering
a Protestant meeting house and he
prayed that he might be excused. The
faculty, however, did not see it in that
light. 1t told him that if he found his
conscience troubled by any require
ment OF the institution he could
transfer it to some other college, but
If he cast his intellectual fortunes with
the CalvinlSts he would have to do as
the CalviniStS did. He decided to do as
the Calvinists did. and the college
chapel continued to be lighted by his
presence.
But another young man said that he
was an agnoStic, and that he suffered
great moral agony when he went within
the walls of Christian church. He
also prayed to be excused, and, when
the faculty answered him as it had
the conscientious young Catholic, he
turned away i'll exceeding sorrow, and
began to absent himself persistently
from the idoatrous worship which he
loathed. After he had done this for
awhile. the faculty suspended him from
the college privileges. and subjected
him to the penalties of rustica-
ton. But. when he had purged him
self, lie rejOiaed his class and repeated
his OtfenSes. And the faculty repeated
its punishment, and so OH in endless
See-Saw until his college career was
completed. But he never went into
the Christian church which so affected
his conscience. This shows of what
moral courage men, even when young,
are capable, and that, too, for bad
cause. 1t deserves to be said, however,
lest the world should think too highly of
this unnamed hero. that he never went
to bed until 3 O'Clock in the morning
anyhow, and even if he had had no
conscience, he would have been in no
physical condition to attend morning
prayers. But this does not weaken the
anecdotes lesson, which is this: When
the school fund is divided, let some pro-
vision be made for those who have no re.
ligion as we'll as for those who have.

THE OBSCURE. SILENT YEARS

There is great deal of poppycock
about all this feverish discussion over
st. PauPs needs and the future great
ness of the city, No man or place ever
made much progress by spending
golden hours in worrying as to what the
time to come had in store. The lives of
cities are like the lives of individuals.
There are years of conscious advanc-
ing, and then again years when no
effort seems to bring any return. When,
finally. success comes, it is impossible
to look back and say which period
counted most in the grand result. The
lawyer waits briefiess, and reputation
bursts on him in an instant, and, per-
haps. in the moment OF his profoundest
despair. The shopkeeper inventories

MIR. CLARKsON is RIGHT.

MIR. CLARKsON is an able, aggressive
man, and he is right when he says that
the Republican party should do some
thing to prOpitiate Labor" and to bring
about more equal distribution of
wealth. So should the Democracy So
should all parties. All right-thinking
citizens should roll up their shirt sleeves
and spit on their hands and give long,
strong pull together, that the rich may
not grow richer and the poor poorer.
The GLOBE is not the enemy of
wealth, and is not so ignorant or short
sighted as to overlook the power for
good of concerted capital. But it be-
lieves that it would be better if the poor
of New York city might live in their
own homes rather than be huddled in
the tenements of the great holders of
the clty's land. 1t believes that the
control of the telegraph system of this
country by one man is menace TO ma
tional liberty, and it points to the effort
which was made i'll 1884 to hold back
the election returns as an example of
the danger such monopoly embraces.
The GLOBE believes further that hun
CRY and evicted miners and bejeweled
and pampered tariff princes mean blood
shed and revolution unless something is
done to stop the enrichment of one class
at the expense of another.
The evils under which we suffer, and
which grow greater from day to day,
are the fruit of vicious and careless leg
islation in the past. Wise and pains

cure the disease entirely, perhaps, but
it can do something. 1t can limit future
fortunes founded on wrong, and can
save the poor from going supperless to
bed because king has taken their toll
and not paid them for it. Some people
call legislative efforts to this end An
archy, but the GLOBE thinks that they

Yet never. never should be cross,

Prepared by his dear better half
