NOT AN ORIGINAL INQUIRY.

The Journal has received from an AS
sociate Justice of the Supreme Court of
Kansas two questions upon which he
asks for views" The first question
relates to the concentration of vast
wealth in the hands of individuals,
whether it is unjust or detrimental
Whether it is unjust or not depends
upon the conditions in each particular
case The greatest of accommodations In
this country is that held by the Astor
family The first of the family who
came to this country became an enter
prising fur dealer in New York Hav-
ing the sagacity to foresee the New
York of the future. Mr.. Astor invested
the profits of his enterprise in trade IN
the lands in the suburbs of the then
small city. Doubtless he was ridiculed
by some of those who knew of 1t. but
he continued. He erected houses ana
blocks on these once comparatively
worthless lands as the city grew, and
tbe Investment is yet the source of the
large annual income of the Astors. For
wears the John Smiths. the William
Browns and the Thomas Joneses had
the same opportunity to purchase ana
improve these lands, but they had no
faith in the future. Perhaps the KAN
sas magistrate. who may belong to the
party which has seemed SO hostile to
invested property rights in that State
that it has checked its prosperity, may
find an Injustice in the Astor accumuia-
tions and an element of detrlment IN
the founding of the Astor library and
of large donations by the original AS
tors successors to hospitals ana other
charities from part of this wealth.
Many of the vast Accommodations
have not been SO wprthily made as in
the case of the Astofs. The period of
railroad development has AFFORDED great
opportunities for the accumulation OF
millions by men who have had the ca
pacity to plan and manipulate. They
may not be the survival OF the fttest
but rather OF the strongest. They may
have robbed their associates ana sheared

gamer by their accommodations Of rail-
road properties. All the great railroad
systems in Kansas represent such ac-
cumulations in greater or less degree,
but the people of Kansas are the great
est indirect beneficiaries of such con-
centration of capital in the hands of
individuals, as the Missouri Pacific rail-
way. for instance The truth is that
there can be no concentration of wealth
in a few hands that is not beneficial to
hundreds of thousands. according to the
size of the accumulation. To make a
million dollars valuable to the possessor
it must be invested in some enterprise
which will cause it to be used to give
employment and to diversity and in
crease industry. And it will be found
generally in this country that where
there is the largest accumulation of
capital there employments are the most
numerous. wages are higher and the
standard of living better. Then it
should be remembered by those who are
troubling themselves about the vast ac-
emulation of wealth in the hands of
individuals that it is not SO vast after
all. Ten days after his death the re-
puleU IOfty IflllllOHS VI OtHdlOT
have shrunk to eighteen and as large
or larger shrinkage has been disclosed
in the fortunes of many of the alleged
millionaires who have died in recent
years.
The other question is an inquiry as to
the amount paid people in foreign coun-
tries. annually as interest, rents and
profits on investments in the United
States. and whether or not the public
interest would be promoted by an in
crease or reduction of this annual pay
ment. The Journal is not able to give
an estimate OF the amount of such an
nual payments. Whether or not the
public interest will be promoted by an
which can be made of the borrowed. cap
ital in this country. If there was a Sec
ton of Kansas the value of which would
be largely enhanced by the building of
a railroad, and the capital could be OBJ
tanned on more favorable terms in Lon
don or Berlin than in this country, 1t
would seem the better policy to procure
that accumulation of wealth abroad.
But wherever such capital for invest
ment is obtained, it will be of financial
tons of hundreds Of thousands of peo-
pie and which are useful in carrying
forward enterprises because the aggre-
gate thereof is vast and is controlled by
a few persons a

A NEW YEARS THOUGHT.

Someone on New Years day asked the
meaning of peculiar rustling noise, and
told that il was caused by the turning
over of SO many new leaves Possibly IL
that person had repeated his question the
following day the answer would have been
that it was the same leaves turning back
again. We might alter one of Solomon
famous lines to read, of the making of reso-
lutions there is no end, and add to 1t, per-
haps, of the keeping of them there is no
assurance, because of the truth that in
stinct is always stronger than resolution
1t certainly is true that with the same per
tinacity that money burns in a childs pock-
ct until he spends it. so desire or some
equally selfish thing, hammers away at our
resolution until ii is broken. A tired wornA

selves away like broken china when " q

teacher of English literature and subjects
included therein, Prof Hiram Corson, of
Cornell, has given expression in a little
book soon to be published by Macmillan
& Co.. TO what he understands to be the
true aims of literary study. What he es-
pecially insists upon is, that literature be
studied as literature; that a true literary

character; and that all other features of
literary STUDY must De SuDSerVlen[ tneTe-
to.
writer in ATacmillan's Magazine thinks
that it must be a common experience with
us all to look back with something of
wonder, even humiliation, to the things in
literature or art we once thought exquisite
and of highest worth. The oratory once
sat under the music we once sang or
played, the engravings we used to buy and
hang on our walls when were eighteen

often seem after a quarter of century
so, during which have read more,
thought more, used eyes more, drunk
deeper of the still sad music of human
ity."
Harold Frederic says in his London let
ter: "The principal literary announcement
for the new year is of an English edition of
Balzac. running to thirty volumes at least
to be translated by George Saintsbury. This
result of his being thrown out of work on
the Saturday Review will be welcome be-
cause he Is strong in French letters as
he is weak in English public affairs. For
some reason the American translation of
Balzac. made by Miss Wormeley, though
extremely good a whole, has never done
much here, perhaps because IL Is too deli
cately BowdleriZed. There is taste in the
British mouth just now for strong meat
and / gather that the new English Balzac
will not err on the side OF prudery."

TWO FUNERALS.

Last week distinguished ecclesiastic

ing ceremonies that the elaborate ritual
of his church makes possible. There
was q lying in state, there were masses
of costly flowers, there were heavy
drapings of purple and black in chancel
and nave and on the hearse that car
ried the outworn body away; there was
a procession made up of Surpliced
choir, bishops and clergy in church
yestments and other dignitaries of
church and state: there We're sermon
and prayers and stately antiphonal
services. There were also tears. but
they were not for the Bishop, as such,
but for the good. gentle-natured man.

death. lay beneath the coffin lid. He

But he was bishop. and the pageantry
and ceremonial were tributes paid to
his Office as well as to his memory.
