CArnazia In the Pulpit.

Andrew Carnegie, the multi-millionaire
iron King, has assembled the pulpit to preach
his Gospel Of Wealth" The sight is
enough TO inspire one with renewed fear Of
the power Of money. It is Mr.. Carnegie's
UNREASONABLE privilege 20 air his views in
newspapers and other publications 20 his
hearts content. There is always space to
be had when one has anything worth say
ing. But when the man OF money, who
owes his fame or notoriety to his money
and what it has bought, takes the place Of
the man Of the cloth on Sunday afternoon
to expound theories which in his daily life
he does not reduce TO practice, il may with
propriety be asked, whittier is orthodoxy
drifting,
Mr.. Carnegie's sermon was preached at
the Church Of the Divine Paternity, Fifth
avenue, New York, Of which the Rev. C..
H. Eaton is pastor. last Sunday. Among
his auditors were Sir Edwin Arnold and the
Rev. DIR. Robert Collyer. Sir Edwin was
Mr.. Carnegies guest. The Church OF the
Divine Paternity is fashionable sanctuary
In a fashionable ueighbOrhood. Mr.. Car
negie had been ''doing the honors" for his
erudite friend. and possibly conceived the
idea of preaching to him by way of pleas
ant diversion from looking at immense
piles of stone and bricks and structural
iron. Mr.. Carnegie's wealth opened the
door Of the pulpit, and he preached.
During his sermon" he INDUCED in some
really sound logic and much good
"horse sense" No attempts at
oratory were attempted. Among
other things he said: 1.-THE man who dies
possessed Of millions which he could ad-
minister during life dies disgraced;" "Ac-
cumulated wealth has become the slave of
all, not OF one;" Surplus wealth is a
sacred trust which its possessor is bound TO
administer" These are catchy" sentences.
and intoned by a deep resonant voice would
sound grand.
But at the Edgar Thomson steel mills, the
Homestead mills and others owned
by the philosopher, there are con-
stantly recurring reports of strikes on
account Of reductions in wages. overbearing
bosses who inflict hardships on the men, a
desire to increase hours, a tendency to
grind down." ETC., which leaves Mr.. Car
negie's administration of wealth open to
harsh criticism.
1t cannot be denied that he has done an
immense amount of good for Pittsburg and
Allegheny city. His public library bene-
faction was princely; but 1t is open to dis
custom if more liberal terms to the men
operating his protected iron mills-a divis-
ion OF the profits made possible by a war
tariF-would not have been more noble
gift to the brotherhood OF man than a
splendid building filled with books erected
as monument tolthe personality of its
founder

a Tricky Young Woman.

Ir1cfn Russell IN Health and Hons.
Young julius Jones loved Susan Slade,
And oft In dulcet tones
He vainly had besought the maid
To take the name of Jones.
"Wert thou but solid, then. be sure.
'Twould be all right, said she;
But, Mr.. j., whilst thou are poor,
Pray think no more of me-
Poor Jones was sad; his coat was bad.
His salary was worse:
But hope suggested: Jones, my lad,
Just try the power of verse"
He sat him down and wrote In rhyme
How she was in her spring,
And he in summers golden prime.
And all that sort of thing.
The poem praised her hair and eyes.
Her lips with honey laden,
He wound it up, up in the skies,
And mailed it to the maiden.
She read It over, kept it clean,
Put on her finest raiment,
And took it to a magazine
And got ten dollars payment.

Wednesday the MORNING NEWS published
an abstract by telegraph of an article in the
Chicago Inter Ocean giving details Of an
alleged scheme whereby the national cord
age trust is to gobbIe alliance stores in the
west. Not long ago it was reported in the
south that an arrangement had been made
whereby alliance trade in this section would
be controlled by the trust; but alliancemen
perSistently deny that any such arrange
meat was ever entered into.

He Was Not Much Good.

Children's ideas Of usefulness in this world
are primitive, to say the least. says the Boston
Record. A Boston editor has a 5-yesr old bow
who has pronounced views on this subject He
said the other daY at the table:
Papa, wish you were bakeshop man"
Why, my boyi"
Because then you could bring home cakes
and things. an we could go in and get cookies
when we wanted 10. Or il you were a meat
man. or q grocery man, or a carpenter and
made nice things, or a blacksmith shop man
that would be awful fine. Say, papa, is it any
good what you do!"

Corrupt Officials.

The punishment OF public officials. who
are proved to be careless, worthless or cor
rupt, ought to be far more severe than it
is. These officials are well paid, and COM
paratively few OF them have very hard
work to do, but the number of them who
are inefficient or corrupt is alarmingly
large.
The recent fire in New York city, which
destroyed the Hotel Royal and caused the
death Of large number of persons, brought
out the fact that one OF the fire inspectors
OF that city was thoroughly corrupt. The
fire authorities had ordered the proprietor
Of the Hotel Royal to provide his house with
certain necessary fire escapes. The in
spector In question reported that the order
had been complied with. when, as a matter
of fact, it had not been. No doubt the
number lost in the fire would have bsen
much smaller had there been ample means
of escape.
The punishment provided for murder
would not be too great for the crime of
which this inspector is guilty. He is not a
murderer, but he is about as great crimi-
nal as murderer. He deliberately exposed
the lives of hundreds of people to the most
appalling kind of death. 1t was matter
of no consequences to him, apparently,
whether helpless men and women were
burned to death or not.
And he is only one Of many officials-in all
parts of the country who are utterly In
different to the responsibilities they assume,
or who, for a consideration, neglect to per-
form their duties. Ought there not to be q
reform inaugurated looking to the holding
Of public officials to q stricter account.
