sages which it has been my duty to sub
init to congress called attention to the evils
and dangers connected with our election
methods and practices as they are related
to the choice of officers of the national gov
eminent. In my last annual message l en-
deavored to invoke serious attention to the
evils of unfair rapportionments for congress-
The necessity for an inquiry and for leg
lslatlon by congress upon this subject is
emphasized by the fact that the tendency
OF the legislation in some states in recent
years has in some important particulars
been away from and not toward free and
fair elections and equal apportionments.
There is no reason why the national in
huence, power and prosperity should not
observe the same rates of increase that
have characterized the past thirty years
we carry the great impulse and increase
of these years into the future. There is no
reason why in many lines of production we
should not surpass all other nations as we
have already done in some. There are no
near frontiers to our possible Development

always claimed that he came to Fields $
rescue and saved him from bankruptcy by
taking his Elevated railroad stock off his
hands. The stock fell from 175 to l20. He
got his foothold in the Western Union in
1881 and has since absorbed every COM

His Pure Private Life.
In 1882 Gould took some friends into his
box in his safe. 1t contained $4,000, 600
worth of securities, according to the stories
which We're circulated at that time.
In private life Goud's record has been

One of the notable incidents in Gould's

OF Jay Gould, the dead million
aire, the. New York Tribune says /:
"He Ind cultivated tastes and varied
information, but he was not desirous
OF imposing or mourning social obi.
cations. nor solicitous of distinction
in any sphere of action except the
one which he dominated, He was
apparently contented to be what he
was-the most during. brilliant and
triumphant Spectator of the age in
eyes of the world, and the most loynl
and devoted husband add father in
tho eyes of his wife and chill lren.
Certainly this WAS not career which
in many of its aspects at least tended
to make mankind better and happier,
or which the world Gun afford to OK
alt az model aud M inspiration
But even those who put the lowest
estimate upon the character and work
of MIR. Gould are bound to acknowl.
edge that in Mt least one respect he
set IN example which some of his bit
torest censors might protitably imi-
late. He never stopped to hypoc-
risy. He never sought to deiude
himself or others with show Of
counterfeit philanthropy. He bought
many things, but he never bought Il
e"logy. He played the great gamo
of speculative finance for all it could
be made to yield, without disguise or
apology. He has gone where ho
will be justly judged"
