RICHES.

AT historic Tarrytown Mr.. John D.
Rockefeller is starting to build the
finest house in America, it is said. IF
he does build the finest house in Amer
lea it will be a fine one indeed. But
no one should envy him his fine house
and his grand estate surrounding it.
His wealth has come to him honestly
and not through speculations in Wall
street, or the wheat pit of Chicago, or
through railroad wrecking. While his
wealth is enormous he has never set
up as a nabob, never for a moment
forgotten that he is an American citi-
zen. His benefactions to the cause of
higher education have been munificent
beyond precedent, and it is not at all
improbable that his benefactions to
that cause and others will be still
greater in the future. Only the other
day when talking to the young men
of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church,
he said he believed it was a religious
duty for man to get all the money!
he can, fairly and honestly, to keep all
a man can and to give away all man
and spending of money is anything
but a sordid occupation. No doubt the
love of money, the pure love of
boarding wealth, is the root of a great
many evils if not of all, but as money
is the sinews of war so it is the sin
ews of industry and commerce AS it
facilitates the exchange of commodities
in CO 70 70 roc. I,a
ing out of great enterprises, the de-
velopment of the resources of the coun-
try, the attainment of the ideals of
men. There is much unreasoning out
cry against men of wealth, yet it may
be doubted if there was ever a man
who raised the outcry that would not
have been glad to have been man of
wealth. And, still it is true many men
of wealth do not sense their duty to
society, conceive the idea that because
of their wealth they should be in
measure absolved from those duties
that fall upon all citizens and which
all should cheerfully perform, that
somehow they should have privileges
that others less fortunate in this
worlds goods should not. But all this
is part of human nature and is to be
expected. The faults of the rich are
made prominent because of their riches,
but they are no more numerous than
those of the poor; in truth the rich
mans faults are exaggerated while
those of the poor man are minimized
and are rarely commented upon They
poor mans poverty is punishment for
all his faults.
If riches beget selfishness, as they too

FORMER oFFICEHoLDERS.

The rule has been promulgated from
the White House that no special con-
sideration will be given to those appli-
cants for office who have held office I'M
der former Republican administrations.
It is said the president holds the view
that faithful Republicans who have
never held office should be given a
chance to hold office. and that the sim
pie fact that an applicant for office had
formerly served the government should
not give him any superior claim.
That all sounds very fine and just
and patriotic, sounds as though alb Re
publicans were to be given chance to
serve their country, as officials and not
merely as citizens. But stripped of
all verbiage, shown up as it really is,
is there anything more in it than a
euphemistic declaration in favor of
spoils. If real efficiency of service were
sought, if the best interests of the gov
eminent only were considered, those
who have been in the government ser
vice in the past and were competent
and honest&should have a preference
over all others instead of being ia
booed. That they are not to have this
preference, on the contrary the fact
that their former service is to initiate
against them, is very strong evidence
that the public service is still consid-
cred as spoils If faithful Republicans
who have not heretofore been invited
up to the pie counter" are to be pre-
ferred to those who have, what is that
but a declaration in fact if not in
words that there is to be rotation in
office, and that it is a good thing after
all? OF course it would never do to
say this but the fact exists, it seems.
L must be confessed that much of the
devotion to civil service reform is
largely lip service. after ALL We still
have the spade but it is no longer
popular to call spade a spade. That
is all

woLcoTT's DREAM.

A man without a country is always a
pitiable sight, and a politician without
complete touch with some party is
almost as pitiable. Such man is Sen
ator Wolcott of Colorado. He is the
champion of international bimetallism,
and international bimetallism, until
some great country adopts the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, is an
iridescent dream.
The Colorado senator has been deliv-
ering himself of some rather confused
the gold standard, and these views call
forth this comment from the Chicago
Times Herald:
For downright ability in the way Of
extracting sunbeams from cucumberS,
Senator Wolcott easily bears the PALM
No cloud is so dark that it has not
silver lining for him, and no matter
what the circumstances, like the man
| in Boswelfs Johnson, "Cheerfulness is
! always breaking in Whatever hap
pens in the financial world is precisely
as he would have it, and inevitably
tends TO bimetallism. Nothing was
more encouraging to that end than the
rebuffs he received at the European
capitals, and now that Japan has
adopted the gold standard he sees the
clear and o0en pathway to interna-
tional bimetallism. Speaking OF the
Japanese policy, he says:
THE monetary situation in Japan is
not only interesting, but most lar
reaching, and perhaps not generally
understood. The result which Japan
seeks is to make permanent the depre-
citation of silver in relation to gold, and
to preserve thereby the advantages
which this depreciation naturally gives
to Japanese agriculture and japanese
industries, and it is not in any sense
an attempt to equalize values"
This is certainly interesting, but the
misunderstanding, if anywhere, IS on
the part of Senator Wolcott. Japan has
adopted the gold standard and mas
made silver subsidiary. In order to
accomplish this change with the least
disturbance to prices it has halved the
gold coin and left the silver as it is.
The silver yen contains the same guam
tity of silver as heretofore, but the gold
yen will contain only half as much
gold It is as though the United States
should call our present So gold piece
$40, or our quarter of an eagle 50. 1t is
an attempt to eQualiZe the gold and
silver coins at their true ratio. but the
unit of value and the legal tender coin
will be the gold ven only.
How this can promote bimetallism in
Europe is something more than is aD-
parent to the ordinary observer. II
Japans going to- the gold basis pro-
notes bimetallism, why should not our
doing the same thing promote it still
more?
The senator is not accomplishing
much in the way of bringing about in
ternational bimetallism, but he is af-
fording much amusement to the people;
and this of itself is an act of merit.

TALES OF-THE DAY.
Both Were Gentlemen.

One cold and stormy evening last winter
a prosperous-looking business man
stopped in the vestibule of a large office
building. on his way out, and attempted
to light cigar. says the Youths Com
.Panon. An urchin with an armful of
'papers also stood within the arch, stamp
ing his feet on the stone step to warm
them. as he Justify cried his wares.
The wind blew out the last match
which the fur-coated broker had about
his person, and he turned to the boy and
said:
Here, boy, give me match
The lad eyed the gentleman furtively
as he inquired: Say, mister, is that a
demand or request?"
Instead of being angry at this reproof
the condemnation he was such-replied
kindly:
"A request, my boy humble request;
and I'll take a couple of evening papers,
too, l guess he added. as he received the
match from the youngsters hand and
passed him quarter, land you may
keen the change"
THAT mans got manners if he's a
mind ter use en- said the boy, as his
patron boarded a car.
THAT boy won't always have to sell
papers if he practices what he breaches. :"
thought the broker, as he sat down to
read the news.

THE UTAH HISTORICAL SOCIETY


In July the fiftieth anniversary of the
settlement of Utah is to be celebrated.
The celebration promises to be a sue
cess in every way, but celebration is
an ephemeral thing after all unless
there be some monument erected, some
institution founded to commemorate
the event celebrated and the celebra-
ton.
1t is not proposed to erect any mon
ument or found any institution to COM
memorate the semi-centennial celebra-
ton of the settlement of Utah. But
there could be founded a historical So
ciety in this, our semi-centennial year,
and there should be. There is no such
society in the state, and it is among
the few states of the Union that
haven't such a society. 1t will be but
a very few years until those who have
a personal knowledge of the early his
tory of the state cannot be called upon
" A01hioll 4AC4AlOllCo VI IL n AAASlOh4OeAA
society such as is here suggested,
would be the means of arousing a di-
rect interest in the early history of
the state 1t would be the means of
inducing those who were participants
in that history to write down their ex-
periences. And when this was done
these memoirs pour servir should all
be deposited in the archives of the So
ciety. or at least copies of them.
Such a society would arouse an in
terest in the history of the state that
nothing else could. 1t would make the
people feel that they were a political
entity, cause them to realize that they
had a past and it is always the people
with a past that may be expected to
be a people with future. If gathered
up and put in proper form, Utah will
be found rich in historical material.
The work of gathering this material to-
gether should be postponed no longer.
How fitting it would be to found the
Utah Historical Society in this year of
jubilee. Let it be done.
