INVESTIGATE THE RICH.

Congress at its last session made an
appropriation to be employed in investi-
eating the slums of cities having more
than two hundred thousand inhabitants.
The commissioner appointed to do the
work has started for Chicago, where he
will begin.
This brave project emanated from the
active brain of Mr.. KYLE, the reverend
senator from South Dakota. The plan
is to inquire into the laws of poverty,
and to compile complete and accurate
information as to how the poor live.
The money spent in this way will be
money wasted. 1t will not add one iota
to the sum of human knowledge. How
the poor live is the business OF nobody
except of the poor themselves. They
live as they want to, or as they best can,
and their condition cannot be improved
by any direct efforts congress can make
for their assistance.
Neither will the public be interested
in the results of such investigations. 1t
does not care to know what is the high
road to starvation, nor what the "dead
broke" eat for breakfast. 1t would like
to know. however, how men become
millionaires and how the rich pass their
time, and what methods of enjoyment
they have.

EFFECT ON THE COUNTRY.
Generally Thought That 1t Will
Be Slight.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The death of
Jay Gould was the universal subject of
discussion in official circles this morn
ing, and among the treasury officials es-
pecially it was matter OF interest.
Secretary Foster voiced the opinion of
the administration when he said that
Mt. Gould'S death would have little or
no effect on the money markets OF the
United States; that his death had been
discounted, and the fact that he had
withdrawn from active partlcipatloDIn
Wall street several years ago could not
now disturb business. 1t seemed to be
generally agreed that Secretary Foster S
views covered the situation fully, and
other officers Immediately connected
with the active running of the treasury
department shared in them.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2.-Theideath of
Jay Gould was naturally the one topic
of conversation in Philadelphia finan-
cial circles today. The trend of dis
cussion was mainly as to the probable
effect it would produce upon the stock
market and of the vast properties in
which his investments have b en-
largest i'll late years. The cOncensuS of
opinion among leading bankers was
that, while Mr.. Gould's death might
have temporary depressing effect
upon the market, its influence would
soon be spent.

SIX MONTHS OF REFORM.

We have had six months of ''reform"
and what does it all amount to? The
local transportation problem is farther
from solution than it ever was before.
The streets are dirtier than they ever
were before Life and property are in
greater danger than they ever were be-
fore.
What, then, has been accomplished?
Some clerks have been discharged
from the public service, and their places
taken by men less efficient and less ex-
perienced. The police force has been
dIsorganized by the removal of tried
officers and the transformation of the
department into a CRIB for partisan re-
wards.
What is the hope and ambition for
the future?
Mayor WRIGHT and his coadjutors
will spend the rest of their terms en-
deavoring to remedy all the mischief
they have caused. They will struggle
to put things in as good condition as
they were when they were entrusted
with power.
This is the history of six months of
reform"

For Twenty Minutes Mrs. Hinck-
ley Has a Lively Experience.
Hartford Post
Mrs. James Hinckley, of Walnut HOi-
low, two miles east of here, had an en-
counter with hen hawk recently that
nearly caused her death. Mrs. Hinck-
ley is a widow, and manages farm with
the assistance of her only child, fif-
teen-year-old girl. While she was throw
ing corn to her flows Tuesday an i'm
mense hawk swoOped down and caught
hen in its talOns. Without apprehend-
ing the danger to herself Mrs. Hinckley
picked up stone and threw it at the
hawk.
The missile struck the bird fairly and
seemed TO madden it, for it flew at the
woman. MIR. Hinckley was unable to
get hold of any thing with which to de
fend herself. With the idea of attract
ing some one to her assistanc &c, she
screamed at the top of her voice, but
her daughter had gone OH an errand
more than mile distant, consequently
her cries were unheard.
. The hawks anger was apparently in
creased by the WOman'S cries. 1t aimed
to get at the womanS face, which she
protected WITH her HdluS anu arms.
From her arms and shoulders her dress
was torn in shreds, and the flesh was
lacerated so badly that her clothing was
saturated with blood. For twenty mill
utes the bird fought the woman all over
the yard until she fell i'm a fainting con-
dition. She would probably have been
killed by the bird had not her daughter
arrived just as she fell. The girl is
VlpOrOuS and fearless
Taxing in the situation promptly, she
secured a piece Of heavy log chain that
hung on the fence. The hawk turned
its attention to the girl. but it soon got
blow across the back with the chain that
rendered one of its wings useless, and it
then became an easy victim for tine girl.
The hawk was one Of the largest ever
killed hereab0uts. 1t measured five feet
two inches across its wings from tip to
tip, and weighed thirteen pounds.

An investigation of this sort would be

FROM CAR DRIVER TO GOV
ERNOR

Life in this free and progressive coun-
try may not be an unailOyed dream OF
bliss, but it is certainly full of the most
beatific possibilities. The man who is
down today can go to sleep tonight in
tranquil consciousness that he has lots
of chances to be on top tomorrow. The
highest station in American life is
within reach of the humblest. All you
have to do is to graD.politics by the short
hair, and hang on. You may get
shaken off, and very much trampled on,
butt your grip holds you are liable to
land almost anywhere between the city
council and the White house. GAR
FIELD reached the White house, and his
start was made from canal tow
path. His grip was phenomenally
good. LINCOLN dropped the axe with
which he was splitting rails and made a
grab at the locks of Fame as she fioated
by. He caught on. and was carried to
the second highest place in American
history.
These reflections and "reminiscences
are induced by little item of informa-

western state of Washington. The gov
ernor-elect of Washington is another
illustration. of the fact that the start
cuts no figure in this country-its the
grip that counts. The governor-elect
of Washington started on the road to
fame in horse car. He was the driver
thereof. One day he saw good chance
to get gripon politics, and he took the
chance. He was dragged over the dash
board of his car and hustled hither and
yon at most tremendous pace, but he
never let go. He hasn't let go yet. He
still has Washington state politics by
the short hair; and instead of the jangle
of the car bell, it is the trump OF Fame
that sounds in his ears. Great is Amer
lea, and the self-made man is its
prophet.
