Wealth Cast Aside.
Wealthy student OF TolstoI Wishes
to Share the Joys and sorrows OF the

Wealthy student OF TolstOi Wishes
to Share the Joys and sorrows OF the
Poor.
Declining an offer of immense wealth if
he would return TO his wife and for
mer mode of living, George w. Ruddick,
jr., son of a rich manufacturer of Wood
bridge, n. j., and a student of Tolstoi, is
living among the poorest residents of his
native town and daily driving a sprinkling
cart past his fathers estates. For this,
the application for divorce made by his
wife, Mrs. Amelia Ruddick, was favorably
passed upon Wednesday by Senator Voor-
hees, who will probably be acting governor
upon the elevation of Gov. Griggs TO the
United States attorney generalship.
Young Ruddick is a graduate of Yale
and of two foreign universities and is
proficient linguist with five languages at
his command. He offers no explanation
beyond declaring that he wishes to live his
own life. His marriage was the result of
a love match, and, while refusing his wifes
pleas to return to her, he praises her I'M
stintedly as a beautiful and accomplished
woman. His friends say that he has be-
come permeated with the idea that wealth
is horribly wrong and that a man, to live a
trne life, must pass his days among toilers
and share their joys and sorrows.

The Presidents Care and Sincerity.

A Washington letter says: A story il
Illustrating at once President McKiney's
sincerity as a civl-service reformer and
his care in respect to all the details of his
official work is told against himself by
Postmaster General Gary. He took case
to the President, where the inspectors had
recommended the removal of a Southern
postmaster "How is this, Gary?' asked
the President. Are you making many
removals?' mo" replied the postmaster
general, "but this is a perfectly straight
case. The man was reported for inatten-
ton to duty and for drunkenness, and the
inspectors recommend his removal" "Let
me see the papers," said the President
shortly. A glance sufiiced, This won't
do" he said, "These papers are two
years old. The man may have reformed
within that time and we should do him a
great injustice to remove him in this way"
The postmaster general looked at the pa
pers. and sure enough they were dated
back in 1895. He had never looked at the
date and supposed it was new case. He
took the papers back and ordered a new
investigation. 1t turned out Just as the
President had suggested The man had
reformed and was performing his duties
admirably, and will be permitted to serve
out his term, without going out of the ser
vice under the stigma of removal for cause
upon an inspector report. The President
perhaps saved him from going back to his
cups by his care in Withholding his sigma
ture until he knew what he was doing.
President Cleveland was very painstaking
in such matters, and President Mckinley
seems to be keeping pace with him.

A New Factor TO Take Into the Ac-
count.

count.
From the Boston Transcript
The revolution in the iron business
which has made this country the great
iron country of the world may yet compel
a revision of the tariff to make good the
revenue lost by the diminution of imports
of iron and steel. In the year 1889 the
value of iron aud products we imported
exceeded the value of those we exported
by $20,000,O00. Now all this is changed.
and up to the close of September of this
year we had exported $4,000 900 worth
more iron than we had imported. Ameri-
can rails, locomotives, electrical equip
ments and general machinery are going
abroad in such quantities as TO place us
practically beyond competition in these
lines. The facts bear on both sides of tar
iff discussion, for If the extreme Cobdenite
theories are correct, we should be unable
as protection country TO supply ourselves,
leave alone supplying others. On the 9th
er side 1t must be remembered that as our
manufactures grow under protection the
demand for foreign wares will decrease,
until to raise revenue il must be levied
solely for that purpose and on articles
most likely to yield it, 1t will then be
necessary to spread duties over many arti
cles and to spread them lightly in order to.
cover a wider surface, so that the operation
of the protective principle may in the not
very long run lead TO the adoption of
revenue tariff.
