GOULD ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS

George Gould, the eldest son of jay
Gould, is only 30 years of age, but he ad-
ministers one of the largest estates in the
world. AS he is wealthy and leads cor
rect. abstemious life, SO he may figure in
the world of finance for forty years or
more, unless some crank kills him off he
thus bids fair TO cut large figure in the
history of the future. 1t is hard to think
of any one who may influence public
affairs so much for good or for evil.
His opinions are thus a matter of some
importance, and the views he lately ex-
pressed in an interview with reporter of
the Chicago Herald are worth noting.
He appears to be unalterably opposed to
Government subsidies or Government in
reference with any business which can be
successfully carried on by private enter
prise" Speaking OF the Pacific railroads.
he said that both would have been better
off had the Government never assisted
them. They would not have been built SO
quickly, but they would have been better
built, and there would not have been the
intermiuable friction and trouble and an
Doyance which have handicapped the
management of both roads ever since. In
harmony with the best thought of the
day. They shed light on the policy which
he will pursue when the time comes for
him to carry out his fathers plans for ex-
tensions of his railroad system into Mex
leo. Those plans, he says, have not been
abandoned; but 1t is evident from the
poor success which the existing Mexican
lines are attaining that the time has not
come for new enterprises of that nature.
His position on the subsidy question would
seem to imply that he will take no part In
starting a north and south continental
road 10 be built with Government aid.
On the vital question OF taxation Mr..
Gould takes unequivocal ground In favor
of an ncome tax. He holds that rich men
should BIZ taxed according to their income.
ana that such tax would be less fire.
quentlv evaded than the present taxes on
real aud personal property. Herein he Is
not as fully in accord with his countrymen
as he Is on the subsidy question. There is
widespread prejudice against an income
tax. 1t is beyond a doubt that party
which proposed to substitute an income
tax for customs duties and internal reve-
nue. taxes would encounter grave 0pposi-
tion.
1t is well that young men in George
Gould's position should steal few hours
from their railroads and their stocks to
consider public questions. Their Iespon-
sibility is vast, their unpopularity inevita-
Bile. Every mans hand is against rich
man who manifests the grasping spirit Of
monopoly. 1t was so in the time of the

boys, at least until they become men.
But university students are supposed to
have arrived at the age OF discretion.
They are allowed to leave home without
being under the charge of guardian. They
know something of the laws of property
and the usages of society. They know
also that the fact of their being students
does not entitle them 10 immunity for
offenses against life and property. While
it is probable that the Michigan law-break-
ers were more thoughtIess than vicious. the
pranks upon which they doubtless plume
themselves tend TO make them unwelcome
memb bers of well-nrdered community.

Theodore Roosevelt has begun course
of lectures to the students OF Columbia
College upon a subject which has fas-
cinated him almost as greatly as has the
science of practical politics.
Esther BernoD Carpenter, who died the
other day in Rhode Island, had written

which appeared in the Century.

COLLEGE STUDENTS.

The students OF the Michigan University
have made themselves a terror 10 the
people living in the vicinity. In their
celebration of Halloween they disregarded
rights of property and the inalienable
rights to security. The boys probably
meant no harm, but they did good deal.
They made themselves nuisance to the
community in which the university they
attend is situated. Now, it is a serious
matter for students to create feeling
which will impair the value Of seat Of
learning TO the city in which it may be
proposed to locate one. Under ordinary
conditions towns and cities would donate
lands and contribute money to secure such
location. But property-holders would per-
baps rather forego the advantages OF being
in university town than to hold their
property at the pleasure of students. OF
course. it is expected that boys will be

prudence dictates that the millionaire
should DO what he can to set himself right
with his fellow-men by devoting portion
of his surplus income to good works. Ex-
travagance has reached such pitch in
this country that the ordinary expendi-
lures of multi-milioDaires are appalling.
The other day it was said that Mr.. and
Mis-. George Gould proposed to go into
society. which they have thus far eschewed.
Inquiry was Instituted as to the terms on
which the Four Hundred of New York
would receive the young people in their
embrace. 1t turned out that their invita-
tion would cost them something like

acts of those who can afford them. Such
sqnandering of money must be redeemed
by many virtues to escape the vitupera-
tiOn of the invidious.

whi"h would insure the repeal of the oh
noxious law. A good deal of the talk
about the evil effects of silver purchase
has no more foundation than is found in
the incident above related. Gold papers
have scared the Senate into repeal by as
cribing to silver purchase evils which
could in no way be traced to that law.
The repeal bill received the Presidents
signature Wednesday. On Tuesday there
was a noticeable drop in the New York
stock market. The day before. when re-
peal was certain, wheat had dropped at
Chicago. Probably repeal had nothing to
do with the fact in either case, but it
should be held as directly responsible for
declines as for rises.

NATIVE VS.. FOREIGN.

The census shows that there is total of
15.209,000 children under 10 years of age in
the United States, of whom 12,718,0 900
were native whites. Of these 1888. 600
were born of native parents and 8, 735, 600
Of foreign parents. The preponderance Of
natives is in ronnd mum bers about three
to one. The 3,735,0O0 children of foreign
parents are without doubt as thoroughly
American as the S.983.000 born of native
parents. 1t is not clear that long line of
American descent is guaranty of Ameri-
can feeling. In fact. most of the mani
festations of anti-American sentiment are
shown in the descendants OF colonial fami-
lies. The Astors and Vanderblts are old
American families.

Suit was begun yesterday by John M.
Byrne, trustee, to enjoin Sheriff McDade

tiers.

this judgment an attachment has been
issued, and, if the sale is made, 1t will

of the estate asks that the Sheriff be en-
joined from making the sale.

Although an ant is tiny creature,
yet It's brain is even timer. But though
It Is necessarily smaller than the ants
head which contains It, yet 1t is larger
in proportion, according to the ants
size, than the brain Of any known crea-
ture. This we can easily believe when
we read of this insects wonderful pow
ers. The quality of instinct or sagacity
does not fully explain some Of the sto-
ries told about them. The best writers
upon ants-those who have made the
astonishing intelligence Of these little
insects special study--are obliged to
admit that they display reasoning abil.
ity;, calculation, reflection and good
Judgment. Such qualities Of brain show
more than ordinary instinct, and we
are not surprised TO hear that the ants
brain carries out our idea that it pos
sesses a higher intelligence than Is
shown by other workers Of its size.--

They Suck the Victims Blood and After
ward Devour the Body.
CHANGING one evening to observe q
rather large bat enter an outhouse,
from which there was no other egress
than by the doorway, says writer in
Beast and Man, was fortunate in being
able to procure light and thus to pro-
ceed to the capture of the animal. Upon
finding itself pursued II took three or
four turns round the apartment when
down dropped what at the moment I
supposed to be its young and which I
deposited in my handkerchief After a
somewhat tedious chase then secured
the object of my pursuit, which proved
to be fine female megaderma. then
looked to the other bat which / had
picked up, and, to my considerable sur
prise, found it to be a small kind of
pipistrelle, which is exceedingly abun-
dant throughout India.
The individual now referred to was
feeble from loss of blood, which it is
evident the megaderma had been suck
ing from large and still bleeding
wound under and behind the ear, and
the very obviously suctorial form
Of the mouth of the megaderma
was itself sufficient to hint the strong
probability Of such being the case.
During the very short time that elapsed
before l entered the outhouse It did not
appear that the depredator had once
alighted, and l am satisfied that it had
sucked the vital fluid from It's victim az
II few, having probably seized 1t on
the wing, and that 1t was seeking q
| quiet nook where 1t might devour the
body at leisure.
Ikept both animals separate till next
morning. when, procuring, a convenient
cage, I first put in the megaderma, ant
after observing II for some time, ] put
the pipistrelle with II. No sooner wa,
the latter perceived than the othel
fastened upon It with the ferocity Of 1
tiger, again seizing II behind the ear
and made several efforts TO fly off with
II, but finding It must needs stay with
in the precincts Of the cage, II soor
hung by the hind legs 70 one side Of II,
prison, and after sucking It's victim til
no more blood was left, commenced de
youring II, and soon left nothing but
the head and some portions of the limbs
