When the question is asked as to who

Andrew Carnegie. -Dayton Times.
Andrew Carnegie never realized so
clearly as at the present moment that
his own literary style has at times de-
pressing effect.--Chicago News.

to abandon Carnegie. but it looks as

Hereafter on both sides of the At

Shallow moralists continue to devote
''reams of paper. floods OF ink" to an
calculation OF the theory that marriage
is failure, yet no great benefactor
comes forward with an antidote for the
root of the evil. The snore still lays its
snareS and claims. its victims, and the
divorce mills grind not slowly nor with
discriminating fineness. The latest
case in point is furnished by an
Ohio couple. Mr.. TURNER snores-
snores abominably, unremittingly and
thunderously-aud Mrs. TURNER has
gone home to mother. Of course, snore
orno snore, Mr.. TURNER doesn't propose
to stand that sort of treatment, so he
has sued for divorce. This a case
where the snore is openly avowed as
the cause of contention; usually some
other pretext is advanced, but nine
times out of dozen the snore Is at the
bottom of it all.
Something must be done to suppress
that snore. 1t is working more real
havoc than it knows of in the Peoples
party platform. We don't want to be

A FALLEN HERO

The pessimIst who affects to believe
both that republics are ungrateful and
that herolsm is inSubstantial and ephe-
neral is furnished with an effective
object lesson by little incident which
occurred in Brooklyn the other day.
An old man, ''total wreck" as the
phrase is, both physically and mentally,
was brought up in the United States
court charged with the heiDous offense
Of having stolen two old door hinges and
some fragments of brass and iron pipe
from the Brooklyn navy yard. The
mans name is WILLIAM L. LUCAS, and
he has a history which, in one unfair
nished chapter at least, compares favor
ably with the heroic deeds of DECATUR
and PERRY and FARRAGUT.
LUCAS enlisted in the navy in 1859.
He was in Chinese waters, OH the frigate
Colorado, when the Corean rebellion
broke out. A boats crew of American
sailors were maSSacred while on shore
under flag Of truce, and detachment
from the fleet was sent, under Lieut..
MCGEE. to punish the insurgents and
capture the two forts they had erected.
LUCAS, then petty officer. was second
in command. MCGEE was killed early
in the fight, and LUCAS succeeded to
the command. From Friday till Sunday
the battle ragged continuously, but the
insurgents were finally repulsed and
the forts captured. In the hour of vic
tory LUCAS discovered that NJ CGEE's
body was being borne away by the
Coreans, and he called for volunteers to
aid him in an attempt at rescue. Only
two marines responded, land when rein-
forcements from the ships reached the
intrepid three, it was only to find the two
marines dead and LUCAS. pierced by
eighteen wounds, PROSTATE on the dead
body of mis- late commander.
For thlrty-nine days LUCAS was un-
conscious: Then he awoke to find him
self nations hero. His admiral pub
licly thanked him for his ''brave con-
conduct, which had brought credit to
the whole American navy" His COM
modore presented him with gold
medal. A vote of thanks was given
him by congress and read from the
quarterback of every American man-of-
war. Then the nine days hurrah died
out, land WILLIAM LUCAS was forgotten.
Not entirely forgotten. 1t was remem-
bered thathe was no longer an able bod
led seaman, and he was accordingly dis
charged from the navy for disability.
His gold medal could not keep him and
his wife and three children in food very
long, and they have eked out wretch
ed, precarious existence, resulting in
LUCAS arrest recently Tor appropriate
ing few scraps of iron from the navy
on which his ''brave conduct had

judge graciously suspended sentence,

cal attendance, to depart i'll peace,
subject to good behavior
1t is very sad story. While the vast
pension plunaer of politics is being
voted where it will ''do the most good,"

THE WAGES OF WOMEN.


CARROLL d. WRIGHT, commissioner
of labor, is statistician., His search is
not for what should be, but for what is.
He aims to find what is exactly the con-
ditiOn and then to find the cause. He
admires stones and abjures flowers.
Fact. not sentiment, is his minds food.
So observing the ugly fact to be that
women doing the same work as men,
doing some Of it better than men can do
1t, are generally paid less for it than
men get, Mr.. WRIGHT's statistical mind
goes to search for the cause, and he
ellis the readers of the Forum why it is.
Woman is an Eruption in the ind u.s.
trial field. the bars to which were let
down for her by invention AS new
economic factor she is at disadvantage !;
she must prove her utility. Any ne w
article of untried use is sold cheaper,
must be, to get its footing. Its use
fulneSS proven. the demand increases
and the price advances. The woman
any vocation who has demonstrated
equal ability with her masculine COM
petitors gets the same. remuneration.
But there is prima facie case of Inc fiji
cheney against all: very, very often, as
all business men know. the case be-
comes conclusive. Another reason he
hndS, but no woman can find. in what
he terms the lower standard she occu-
pies as condition of her sex; there is
survival Of the dependence of her an
cestresses left in the girl of today; she
is not sufficiently setf-reliant Not hay
ing the physical endurance of man, her
productivity is less, and she is, there
fore, worth less. Then, too, there comes
into her work, to weaken effort and in
terest, that hope which springs eternal
in her breast, that some man some day
will come to do his duty and relieve he r
from self-support. No woman feels that
her life is to be spent IN the work she
engages in. She does not'do her
best because of this. Then WRIGHT
finds another cause in her -lsola-
ton; her failure to learn the strength
and benefits of organization which her
male competitors have so well learned
and used. Taking no interest in poll
tics, she does not get the aid that it can
be made to give her, directly and indi-
rectly, both in legislation and in com
pellIng the attention and respect of
men. Lastly, this inquisitive man of
facts and figures finds that the ineXo-
rable law of supply and demand meets
the Industrial sisterhood. and that as
inevitably as with man, where two girls
are after one job, the cheaper one gets
1t. But, running along the lines of
thought which his study starts. Mr..
WRIGHT sees that there is a gradual
progress towards equality of compensa-
ton following equality Of capacity, and
that one of the certain results of indus
trial parity will be political equality.
Women. no less than men. must win
the Spurs if they will wear them.

A WORLDS BENEFACTOR.

he rlsked his future at time when
other men would have quailed. Success
came, and today the whole world is knit
together in one great brotherhood.
There is tOnch between the continents
and the far-otf islands of the boundleSs
seas, and to Cyrus w. Field, the genius,
all is due.-New York Advertiser.
Mr.. Field found the earth a large
place. He left it smaller in certain re-
spects than was the state of Delaware
when he was born. We get the news
from Hong Kong quicker than we did
from Lancaster fifty years ago, and for
this Mr.. Field is largely responsible. If
he had not persisted we might have
waited until the next century for the
Atlantic cable.-Philadelp Inquirer.
1t may be said that it was the spirit
of the century which laid the Atlantic
cable, and Field may be robbed of his
glory. But, while recognizing the small
part which any one man takes in a
great movement, it must not be forgot
ten that there are few men sufficiently
great to act as mediums for the mate
realization of any great spirit. Let us
call Field, then. the embodiment of
progress, and we do not belittle him.
Brooklyn Eagle.
Next in rank to the men who have
harneSSed nature for mans use are
those who have made new applications
of great forces. And among the chief
of these was Cyrus w. Field, dead yes
terday. The indefatigable energy and
sublime faith with which he insisted on
the practieability of the Atlantic cable
not only gave him high place among
the great men of history, but was an
admirable illustration of the finest
traits of the race.-New York World.
When Mr.. Field first suggested the
idea of laying the Atlantic cable it was
considered the wild dream of a mad
enthusiast. Not one man in thou
sand believed III its practicability. The
electric spark could never be projected
through SO vast distance under the
unknown, fathOmless ocean, and even
if 1t could he accomplished the work
could never be made to pay as a COM
mercial speculation. Capital frowned
and closed its strong box. Scientists
looked wise and gave forth Dalphic ut
terances; but Mr.. Fields faith i'm the
ultimate success of his splendid con-
ception never wayered. 1t was the
story of Columbus over again.-New

THE ON AHA TICKET

Gen. James B. Weaver, politically
speaking, has been all things to all men.
He has dabbled in all sorts of poll tics,
and has led all sorts of reforms. He
now finds himself at the head of anoth-
er forlorn hope, but one which for a
brief period is destined to WELD consid-
cradle influence in certain portions of
the cOuntry.-Chicago Mail.
Gen. Field, the Peoples party candi-
date for vice president, ranked as brig
adler general in the Confederate army.
He gained considerable notoriety du-
ring the campaign of 1880 by declarin g
in public speech: 1--WE killed great
many Yankees during the war, and
wish we had killed twice as many
more" = Cincinnati CO.. Commercial
Gazette.
Southern Alliance men admit that
Gen. Weaver. the Peoples party candi-
date for president. will not run we'll in
the South. AS he will certainly not
run we'll in the North, or the East. or
the West, there appears to be nothing
left for the general but the Mississippi
and the Great Lakes.-St. Louis Star
Sayings.
That is all there is to the movement
greenbackism. 1t will be the same old
crowd that will support Weaver. The
farmers whom it was thought would be
drawn into the movement will not rally
to the support of the fourth ticket, ex-
cept those who have been greenbackerS,
10! these many years. There will be no
relnforcements. 1t is greenbackism
over again. and greenbackism has seen
its best days.-Des Moines Register
There are some possibilities for DO
litical mischief in this Peoples party,
though it is more likely TO do good this
year than harm. If it succeeds in break
ing into the electoral college at all it
will most probably get in through some
Southern state or states. and any break
in the solid South may DO welcomed.
l he possibility for mischief lies chiefly
in Colorado and Kansas. In the latter
state the Alliance does not appear to be
ao strong as it was, and in the former
there is good reason to believe that the
rabid silver men will come to their
senses befOre election day.-Toledo
Ohio Commercial.
The Hon. lgnatius Donnelly, of Min
neSOta, expresses his Willingness to
pledge the electoral vote of his own
state to the Peoples party, and he is
also confident that Kansas, Nebraska,
the CarOlinas and Georgia will be found
in the same column. Mr.. Donnelly is
too cautions altogether. He should
have claimed all the silver states, which
object both to Mr.. G leveland and to
