spects to Major Mckinley at
His Canton Home.

ing feature of the day in Canton was the
reception of Michigan editors and their
wives. An address was made by Editor

Messages of congratulation reached
Major Mckinley this afternoon from
Governor Bradley of Kentucky, Governor
Morrill, of Kansas and Major-General O.

Mr.. Mckinley received this evening the
following dispatch from Senator John M.

Thc Rond shouId BE SOLD.

According TO our Atlanta dispatches, the
governor has a bid for the lease of the
Northeastern railroad that will net the
state about $1,000 year. That is a much
better offer than it was generally thought
would be made for the lease. especially as
the Southern railway gave up the lease
because. it was asserted, the road did
not pay the interest on the bonds indorsed
by the state, and operating expenses.
1t would be better, however, to sell the
road if enough could be got for it TO liquid
ate the debt which it owes the state New
roads are heing projected and built all
the time and it may not be many years
before the road will not pay much, if any,
more than operating expenses. There is
no certainty that lease, if made now on
terms very favorable b the state, would
continue in force many years.
Questions might arise in the near fu-
ture that would bring the road into poll
tics, and it might become the source OF
much annoyance and trouble. 1t is NOT
of railroads or any other property re-
curing a great number of employees to
operate it. All the state ought to desire is
to get out of the Northeastern road an
amount of money sufficient TO pay The
bonds for which it is responsible. 1t may
appear now that it would be a good thing
for the state to hold on to the road, hut
the situation may change in a very few
years. 1t would not be at all surprising
if it should. If the state can get rid Of
the road without any loss it should rot
hesitate to do SO. There is no good rea>
son why the state should run any risk in
the matter.

by silver under any and all circumstances,
but that he abandoned his position in
behalf of free silver coinage when he dis
covered that the republicans Of his state
would support sound money. So anxious
was he TO get on the strong side that he
actually pledged himself TO vote for sound
money, if permitted to go as a delegate to
the ST. Louis convention.
What a pitiful picture this champion Of
silver presents! His readiness to abandon
his position on silver and to work and vote
for sound money at the national republic
can convention is convincing proof that he
has no onvictions in respect to silver, that
he became an advocate of unlimited sill
yer coinage simply because he thought it
was more popular than sound money
When the time came for choosing between
sound money and a degraded silver cur

covered that in his state sound money was
more popular.

were fewer Pettigrew's in the Senate it
would be better for the country.

Three Remarkable Men.

Few men in this generation have occu-
pied so much space in the newspapers of
the entire world as Col. John Thomas
North. whose death was announced in our
dispatches Wednesday morning Baron
Hirsch, who died a couple of weeks ago.
and Barney Barnato, who is still living.
The two who are dead were as remarkable
for their ability to make money as is the
one who is living 1t is stated that Baron
Hirsch left an estate worth $3.50, ,OOO His
father left him large fortune and he ac-
quired another fortune by marriage, but
what he got by inheritance and marriage
was a very small part or his estate. He had
a wonderful capacity for accommodating
money.
Col. North began life as a mechanic, and
throughout his earlier years was a poor
man. He went to Peru to put in shape
machinery of some sort, and there laid the
foundation of his fortune He became
possessed Of the nitrate beds at Tarapaca,
and they yielded him so much money that
he did not know what to do with it, He
left a fortune estimated at $10O 100000. His
income was fully 100000 a year.
Barney Barnato began life in the gut
ters of London and developed into a circus
clown. He went to South Africa and be-
came interested in the diamond and gold
mines of that region. His wealth has been
estimated as high as $2OO,OOO,OOO. Perhaps
$1O0,OOOOOO would fully cover it.
All three of these men. when they be-
came rich. were ambitious for social dis
tinction, though only one of them, Baron
Hirsch, was in any way fitted by educa-
ton and training to shine in society. Col.
North and Baron Hirsch spent vast sums
to get an entrance into the Prince of
Wales set. and Barney Barnato has Law
ished his wealth upon men in London
whom he thought could assist him in
climbing the social ladder. All of them
met many rebufs and disappointments,
and the satisfaction they got out of their
wealth. it is pretty safe to say, was small
in comparison with the burdens it i'm
posed upon them.
