THE PUBLIC WISH HIM SUCCESS

The public reads the announcement
with feeling akin to delight. that MI.
John d. Rockefeller IS perfccting plans
Looking to the investment of $40, 0O0. coo
IN rolling mills in Chicago with which
to fight the steel rail trust, and assum-
ing that the announcement is correct, Il
naturally wishes him success.
Mr. Andrew Carnegie has enjoyed q
monopoly of the manufacture of steel
rails for q long time. and the fact that
the business has assumed the proper
tions OF a gigantic trust naturally causes
the proposition of Mr.. Rockefeller to be
received with no little pleasure by the
public.
In the absence of any proof ito the con-
trary, every man must be given credit
for honest intentions, but in the matter
under review there Is lurking suspicion
that Mr. Rockefeller's purpose in en-
barking IN the manufa otu.e of steel
rails is rather more with a view TO in
crcaEing his millions than any desire
to figh; the trust that may be attributed
10 him.
However, the public will be the gain
er by his entering the business, uu-
less matters should be so shaped In the
end n: to cause the two concerns 10 join
hands. when the trust would become
more powerful than ever, and therefore
moe hurtful to the interest OF the gene
raj public than It Is at present.

OF his fellow newspaper workers OF the

which Colonel Mcclure is held. and the
anair throughout was most pleasing.
In an admirable addres; the dist.n-
guished journalist recounted his early
journalistic life, and drew an interesting
comparison between the old-fa sh:oned
weekly newspaper of years ago with the
powerful daily journal of to-day.
Colonel McClure's career covers the
most interesting periods. with one ex-
ception, in the history of the country.

PATHETIC STORY.

1t is a pathetic story they tell Of the
death of young Gomez. whose body, it
IS said, was found side by { ide with that
of his chief, General Maceo and If the
men are really dead, I, illustrates pa
triotism, chivalry. and a devotion to
duty seldom witnessed in this unscntl-
mental age.
The story runs that Maceo in trying 20
pass the trocha, his men were attacked
by the Spanish troops, dispensed, and
himself killed. l.; was at this point that
young Gomez, finding II impossible to
remove the body of the dead General,
deliberately penned a note to his family
bidding them farewell. and begging
them TO forgive the act, saying he could
not desert his chief even in death, and
then blew his brains out. The note, ac-
co"iing 10 r.he story. was found In his
pocket when the body was searched.
The young man was only abou: eighteen
years OF age, the son of Genera Gomez.
and an ardent devotee to the Cuban
cause The report of the death of AIaceo
may not be true, in which event the
story OF young Gomez. as here describ-
ed. Is only a fabrication. Blu; should
1t be true, it recalls patriotism of a high
order and adds the name Of another TO

cause they could not save"

of his audience, and some of the more
disorderly were elected. Interruptions
became more frequent, and it was al
most impossible to preserve order, al
though the policemen on duty were
running to and fro in the hall nipping
disorders in the bud as far as possible.
The speaker became excited, and
among other things said Virginia had
ever been celebrated for her chivalry
and patriotism, but he saw in his
audience ignorance. This brought
forth decided protests, as might have
been expected, and produced de-
fance on the part of both the Bryan
ties present and the speaker. The lat
ter kept on with his speech amid the
many Interruptions, and about II
o'clock brought his remarks to close.
His speech was in the main what gold
bug papers and speakers have been
urging during the canvass, and so far
as known altered the opinions of no
one present. 1t was the impression of
many that Mr.. Davis war disappointed
in not being egged, as he alluded to
this species of disapprobation many
times; in fact, unlike the Roman feasts,
