TEE coRRUPrIoN OF MONEY.

The apparently we'll founded statements
that Mrs. w. K Vanderbilt is about to insti-
tute divorce or separation proceedings from
her husband comes as painful surprise 10
the country. 1t is not that most Of us care
much what the willie Vanderbilts may do
or how they choose TO enjoy their leisure and
millions; in fact, to the average man and
woman the Vanderbilt name is simply syno-
nvm for vast and untold wealth, but it has
been the pride of Americans that for three
generations the members of one of the richest
families in the world have lived moral lives
and their domestic relations have been sim
gularly felicitous.
But the willie K" scandal marks a new
era in the history Of that remarkable house,
and emphasizes once more the corrupting in
1uences OF money. 1t is the old story so oft
repeated. Vast wealth, absolute leisure, com
plete safety, and then the end. Every form
of pleasure is early exhausted, domestic
joys-the only true happiness, the perpetual
fountain Of youth and noble aspirations-lose
their charm, and the man goes outside TO
seek stimulation and enjoyment. The end
time, then open hostility, then the divorce
court with all its attendant scandals.
1t may be well asked: What is the remedy,
or rather preventive, if there is any? The
question can be easily answered; there is none.
Some social philosophers have attempted
TO prove that the increase Of fortunes is the
cause: the diffusion of wealth the remedy.
We cannot subscribe TO that theory. 1t IS
illogical There are men and women un-
mindful OF their moral obligations in all
walks OF life, as glance at almost any issue
OF The TINES viii show, and wealth, after
all. is so relative that the term means moth
ing. The cure must come from within and
not without. II society, using the word in
its best and broadest sense, placed the seal of
condemnation upon every defendant in d.
vorce court proceedings If every man or
woman, irrespective Of wealth or position,
who violated moral or social laws were placed
under the ban and scorned, then there would
be fewer "Willie T. scandals.

Gently made themselves prominent by criti-
eising the Canadian knights OF Pythias who

BY insulting the visitors with their remarks,
these busybodies have also insulted the hos

nearly the entire population. 1t is the duty
OF the public press and the societies of the
city to repudiate the general prevalence OF
any such feeling against our brothers across
the line, and TO assure them that we feryently
deplore the circumstance.
The Knights who attended the encamp-

divisions from the United States carried the
national colors, and the city regarded it
as a matter of course. Here is q case in

HIS STORY coNTRADIcTED.
President PattersOn's Affairs in Worse
Condition Than Was Expected.

The affairs Of the Peoples Transportation
Company are not nearly SO close to settlement
as would appear from statementrece made
by friends of President Patterson.
G. d. Lee, of Norfolk, Va, and 4 NJ Hewlett,
OF Washington, who are members of the com
mittee which is investigating the dOings of
Presid ent Patterson, called at THE TINES Office
yesterday and said in reference to the matter:
$50 far from Mr.. Patterson being exonerated,
the committee has found the affairs of the COM
pany 10 be in a worse condition than was ex-
pected, and it bids fair TO develop into one of
the biggest swindles ever perpetrated on the
colored people OF Washington
Patterson has not only not bought boat, as
he has claimed, but there has been no agree
ment made to even purchase one. There was
an agreement drawn up, but il was not signed
or dated, under which Patterson could purchase
steamer from Mr. Evans, the owner
Of the Lady of the Lake, and,
although $500 was paid to Evans, the
receipts showed that 10 was charter money, and
that was all that was paid instead of S1s000, as
was claimed 10 have been paid by Patterson AS

letters sent TO stockholders by Patterson, in

affairs OF the company, are intended 10 mislead
them.

INDIAN MAssACREs IN ALASKA.

The renewed revels OF the Chilcats in
Alaska again call attention to the lack Of
quick transportation for government officials
in that far away territory.
Up to short time ago the only gunboat at
the service OF the governor, United States
marshal and commissioner, was the Pints,
an ancient and dishonorabe craft, made over
from one of the dispatch boats Of the civil
war. 1t was a standing comment Of her
officers that she would ring herown ships bell
in a heavy sea.
The transportation which the Pinta furnished
has not been improved to any extent, al
though Secretary Noble strongly recon-
mended additional facilities in his last In
terror report.
Ii must be remembered that Alaska has a
square-mile area one-third as large as the
rest Of the United States She has returned,
over and over again, the purchase price paid
TO Russia in 1867, and she deserves a better
custodianship from the government.
The danger of such an uprising as has
Just taken place is large because OF the fact
that the Chilcats live in the line OF por tage
from the seaboard at Juneau TO the gold re-
gions in the upper Yukon. But the Chilcat
inlet is not entirely navigable TO deep
draught vessels and therefore the govern
ment has virtually no means Of protecting
itself from the tribes which dwell at the head,
except by chartering some light-draught pri-
waite craft that happens along.
The fact that two Canadian schconers with
contraband Canadian whisky reached the
Chilcat region and traded the very stuff to the
Indians which melted the atrocities, also
proves the laek Of proper revenue cutter
patrol The Treasury Department has issued
strictly prohibitive laws against the sale OF
liquor in Alaska except for medicinal pur-
poses, and yet hundreds Of gallons are weekly
''cached" into the territory from the coast of
British Columbia, paying no tax whatever
and representing profit OF from IS to SO a

$4,000 for Alternating His
Wife,s Affections.

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-Arthur Loring Mackaye
son of the late Steele Mackaye, playwright
has brought an action in the superior court to
recover $4,000 damages from his former friend,
Paul Latzke, for the alleged alienation of the
affections of his wife, Flora Louise Mackaye.
Latzke was arrested to-day upon an order issued
by Judge McAdam, of the superior court, at the
instance OF Charles NJ Beattie. Bail was fixed
at $1,000 This was furnished and Latzke was
released
This is the second wife OF Mackaye, who is

vent OF the Sacred Heart at Montreal, where she
was educated. She got the impression that
young Mackaye, who was Protestant, had been
baptized
When she learned he had not, she wrote to
Monslgnor Preston, asking if the marriage was
valid. he said it not This letter caused
much comment at the time. The young woman
left Mackaye soon after the marriage on learn
ing this fact. The marriage occurred Feb A,
1850. On January !, 1886, she married Loud0n
Mccormack, an actor and theatrical manager OF
Chicago without q divorce from Aackaye.
MacKaye subsequently got a divorce from her IN
this city, because of her relations with Motor
mack Mccormack deserted The poets daughter
IN 1888 She played in the Land OF the Mid

before. The two men lived with their families
III the same housein this city and at staten Is
land, and were everywhere considered the best
