The East is agitated over the
problem, "What use can rich men
be put to?' A writer in the
Forum, a most conservative jour~
nal, contributes TO the discussion
the following: "Why do we not
mako a better use of L rich men!
We waste them, and let them run
to seed. a harden to themselves
and a nuisance to the public. We
ought to utilize them and make
citizens OF them, lifting them from
their condition of ineptitude and
degradation to become respectable
members Of the CON nlonwealth. As
it is we let their vast motive pows
ers run to waste, like the waters OF
Niagara in noise and foam"
And then he urges that they ems
ploy themselves in offices like the
ancient Litnrgies. that is, il pro-
viding theatres and art expositioDs
and like public services.
The Forum writer INDUCES il
the prevailing but e~enseless preju
dice against a most envied
set Of fortunate mortals. Why
should any body dictate 10 the ricE
how their millions should be spent
any more than 10 the poor how
their pennies should go.
It is a blessed privilege to have
wealth to expend in public bene
factions and philanthrories, bat CO.
ersion is the poorest method of Sc
curing the riches Of the rich for the
community's welfare.

sent up to Albany penitentiary IL

tod by him, now an aged and de-
crepit man, are pathetic.
There were fve'brothers, whose
home was in Pennsylvania county.
They were moonshiners and opers

years. On the 9th of March, 1865,
Federal officers attempted to seize
George W. Redmond's still. He
resisted them and shot AID killed

GERS were sent to arrest him, and be
killed them as fast as they appeared
He was branded as an outlaw, and
it was only after repeated attempts
to arrest him that he was finally
seized and sentenced to be hanged
but his sentence was committed te
Imprisonment for life, land be was
sent to albany. His brother
George j. Redmond, was scarcely
less a desperado, the number Of
persons killed by him being few
less than those killed by Georgt

ANSWERS TO LEADING CUES
TONS.

Did the mills and factories Of the
country close down with orders
pouring in upon them (the result
OF the prosperous Republican
times,) or was the closing down
caused by the falling eff Of those
orders on account OF the financial
stringencyl This is Il question
relating TO the responsibility for
REGENTS events.
Another question with like bear
ing il: Did the mills and factories
of the country suspend operations
with orders pouring in upon them,
the result of Republican policy and
legislation on account Of the atti-
tude Of the Democratic party on
the subject of the tariff:
To the first question we reply
that the financial policy of the
Government had not been changed
when the cry Of hard times was
raised. On tie contrary, treasury
notes were being literally issued in
exchange for silver bullion, The
change IN this policy that was
made later, was as much a Repub
lican as a Democratic performance.
Hence the responsibility tor the
hard times, and the disaster TO
business interests cannot be fasts
ened upon the Democratic party
save by resort to falsehood and in
justice. 1t follows that, if the mills
and factories were closed for the
lack of orders, there must be some
other explanation of the same than
that so generally accepted and
acted upon in the last campaign.
To the second question we answe
briefly, that If the mills and factors
les were not closed for lack ci
orders, but because Of fear thai
such a lack might occur al some
future time, then the action OF thei.
owners was not only cowardly, but
criminal. But it is incredible
that the closures were made fol
this reason. The active operation
of the industries would certainly
have been continued as long az the
boosted Republican legislation and
policy prevailed to fill then
with orders and keep them pros
porous.

Their operations reached a climax on
August 4, when they captured the

at Penang. Twenty-four men aboard
were murdered, fifteen were seriously
wounded and $4,000 fell into the
