Brann on Greed.

l can understand every crime in the
calendar but the crime Of greed, sand
every lust Of the flesh but the lust of
gain, every sin that ever damned a
soul but the sin of selfishness. By all
the sacred bugs and beasts of Egypt
I'd rather be witch's cat-or even a
politician-and howl in sympathy with
my tribe; I'd rather be tramp, and
divide my handouts with one more
hungry; I'd rather be NANCY dog,
without master, and keep company of
my kind, than to be a multi-million-
aire, with the blood Of snake, the
heart OF a beast, and carry my soul
like Pedro Garcia, in my pocket.
When l think of the three thousand
children In the City Of Chicago with
out rags to shield their nakedness from
the cold north wind; of the ten thou
sand innocents, such as Christ blessed,
who die every year Of the world for
lack OF food; Of the millions every year
whose cry goes UP every day and
night to Gods throne-not for saliva
ton, but for soup; not for the robe of
righteousness, but for a secondhand
pair Of pants-and then contemplate
those beside whose boarded wealth the
riches Of Lydia's ancient kings were
but beggar's patrimony, praying to
him who reversed the law OF nature to
feed the poor, long for the mystic
power to coin sentences that scar like
sulphur flames from hot hell, and
weave of words whip Of scorpions to
lash the rascals naked through the
world.-Brann's Iconoclast.

THE HANNA CLIQUE.
MUST PAY THEIR DEBTS TO
THE RAILROADS.
When the Truth Is Known We May
Find That That Supreme Court De-
cision Simply Cleared the Way for a
More Favorable Bill.

The Chicago Tribune, a Hanna or
gan, asks, under flaming headline to
its Washington correspondence, did
Hanna promise pooling bill?" The
Tribune then answers it's own question
by saying that the effort to force con-
sideration and passage of the railway
pooling bill in advance of the tariff
bill in the senate is the result OF
strong pressure from powerful
sources" and relates a story current
in Washington, and mot Denied to
the effect that Mark Hanna promised
the great railroad interests pooling
law in exchange for their support in
the last campaign. The Tribunes sto-
ry runs thus:
THE big railroad corporations of the
East apparently by some preconcerted
move declined to contribute at all un-
less they could make terms. These
terms We're said to be the passage OF a
poooling bill on the lines of that orig
inally passed by the house and which
failed in the senate. A member Of the
interstate commerce commission made
the charge directly at a meeting of the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce, and it was not denied"
Readers will remember that fire.
quently during the last campaign the
Post-Dispatch charged that the only
explanation Of the attitude Of the rail-
roads was the existence OF bargain
between them and the Republicans for
the passage of the pooling law, which
they had twice carried through the
house, and which had been defeated
In the senate. The Post-Dispatch
called attention more than once to the
fact that such bargain was clearly
disclosed in the Mckinley platform,
which was entirely silent as to inter-
state commerce, while the Chicago
platform demanded the enlargement of
the powers of the interstate commerce
commission to protect shippers against
eXtortion.
The truth was as clearly to be seen
then as it is now. Once understood,
1t explained the silence of the Mckinley
platform, the heavy railroad contribu-
tions to the Hanna campaign fund,
and the coercion OF railroad employees
to vote for a candidate and policy
the majority of them did not approve
of.
Little by little the inside history of
the gold campaign Of 1896 Is coming
out. And the evidence. as it accumu-
lates, reveals the monstrous character
and extent of that conspiracy against
the people.-St. Louis Dispatch.

What Makes the Trouhle.

1t is roughly estimated that to keen
one modern battleship in powder and
shot for one hours fighting would cost
Sill. .654.4O, and to keep the United
States feet in action for the same time
would cost a round million. A no.
ton gun, 16k-inch bore, costing in
England $82,5OO, is used up complete
ly in ninety-fiye rounds. There is no
need for this country to expend one
dollar in war, If we had such peace and

A lively JOY was diffused throughout
the University of Chicago when the
announcement had been made that
President Harper intended to edify the
classes with his views Of the growth
of the irresponsible educated element.
The students Of the University of Chi
cago have the greatest love for Presi-
dent Harper, and every time he opens
his mouth on the subject of sociology
they come running from all directions
to listen to him. So it was on this par
ticular morning. Mr.. John D. Rookie
feller, who was present, felt profoundly
moved.
What wonderful things" he said to
himself, "are oil and education" I,
BY this time President Harper had
ascended the rostrum.
"The irresponsible educated class"
he began. is a very dangerous thing"
The assertion was greeted with tre-

began to feel sense Of great respon-
sibility.

per, "conduces TO the responsibility

Everybody Joined in the applause
that followed this remark.

dent Harper. "a man, we will say,
possesses education without interest
bearing bonds. Another man pos
sesses interest bearing bonds with ed

both is Irresponsible

At this moment one of the students
put in word.
"In this temple of learning" he cried,
"I acquire education. but acquire no
interest-bearing bonds"
Mr.. John D. Rockefeller gazed upon
the youth attentively.
Now" continued the enthusiastic
student, why not inaugurate system
of distribution of interest-bearing
bonds among the educated classes?"
"Hurrah" cried the professor Of
ethics. Interest bearing bonds for

The enthusiasm mounted to fever
heat, and then died away into dead

1T is most excellent suggestion
that has been made here this morning."
he declared. 1T cannot be too speedily
acted upon."
The stiffness succeeding this remark
was profound. Mr.. Rockefeller drew
from his coat-tail pocket bulky mass
of documents. The professor of ethics
began to cheer.
"Now, President Harper" said Mr..
Rockefeller, "here is wad Of interest
bearing bonds. Will you kindly make
a distribution Of them among the edu-
