NO SUBSCRIPTION FOR DEWEY.

| The project of relWarding Admiral 1 Dewey by presenting him with a pop ular subscription in money will not, It is believed, meet with public approval, and probably has never occurred to the admira, himself. When Admiral
 Dewey, as a young man, entered th'1
 service of his country he had deh-
 nile idea of what the compensations of
 faithful and successful service in the
 navy were They were promotion,
 memorable mention in reports and dis
 patches. the thanks of congress, per
 haps, the plaudits of the people and the
 press, place in the country's history and the generous prcwision which the
 country makes for the officers of it's army and navy when they retire. These. no G-1bt, the young naval cadet from Vermont hoped for and aSpired to when he first put on the uniform of the United Staes navy. He has at tained or secured all these and, it is safe to say, looks for nothing more. He never expected to capture ports or sink fleets by subscription.
 Nc money value can be placed on services like those of Admiral Dew ey's. It is not well to attempt to set a price on them. It is not ennObling to consider all actions as matters of prize money. When this is attempted the question of scale of prices arises. If, for the commodore of a fleet so much, then how much for the second in command? If, for so much bravery $100, ,000, how much f-r the next bray est? Neither the people of the United States nor the government which they have ordained and set up will forget Admiral George Dewey. He will be cared fer and his memory will be cher ished and his name will be preserved to fine latest days of the republic. To take up subscription is net an appro- pTia5e feature of the exrcises. It is an offense of patriotism and to good taste to pass around the hat for a hero like Dewey. City Star.

LIFE ALONG THE HUDSON.
Changes in Social Conditions Which a
 Generation Has Brought.

The social life in most of the vil-
 JageS along the Hudson from New
 York to Albany is quite different from
 the social life of twenty years ago
 and earlier. The facts Of the differ
 enoeS also came cut in the reminis-
 cences which have already suggested
 50 much. He who had entertained us
 with the story of his boyhood told us
 Of the hospitality of those days:
 "Tlhere were then,' he said, "a half
 dozen families who were related near
 ly CT Gfs-antiy. They composed litt1e
 circle of aristocracy of real worth,
 whose claims rested upon blood and
 brains. These families had large houses and expensive estates, they also cohtrogled the industry which was the sustenance and living of the town. there existed always the most kindly feelings between these families and the people of the village. The terms of the employer and employe were hardly known. so linked were the in terests of ali; in a way, the village Selenlad Nike a great family.
 There was a custom in those days" and the cid mans eyes spark led, "a habit among the families Of giving a weekly dinner One week the 4A6ANO WOu4u AclS1I 1lOUu G1lS house O. enc, and all the others would be pfesent as guests; the next week it would be at another house, and so the occasions of hospitality would go round that charmed circle. We of the village knew the succession of the dinners, and many a story and anec- dClle Of those grand occasions enliy- ened the work in the shop, or was mer- rily tcld about our evening fireside.

SENSIBLE TRUST SUGGESTION.

There has been Q vast amount or
 witty. wise, crazy, demagogical, fool
 tsh, fsnoranlG, truthful and untruthfll
 comment made upcn the subject or
 trusts as the outgrowth of the craze for
 combination that is sweeping the
 country. Molst of the talk has been
 a1ysterical oIabursts of alarnists who
 know all about what the effect of these
 ccnssolidationls is going to be before
 even the combines know themselves,
 or of political transformers like Bryan
 who have desperate need of new issues.
 Very little downright sense has been
 delivered on the subject as to how to
 curb and control the trusts if they
 shall prove harmful CT to prevent the evils that promise to come from them.
 The yellow journal and stump orator
 way is to sweep all combinations out
 of existence, a course whose logical
 result would be the killing tf large
 corporations that are in no sense trusts and whose only crime is in be-
 ing large One of the most sensible of luhe deliveries yet made on the sub ject of trusts is that of Senator Depew
 of New York, which is in effect that the stabe should intervene to require of the corporations in the nature of trusts very full publicity as Jo their assets, condition, operations, and methods. It contrasts sharply with the shallow denunciatfons of men of khe Bryan stamp wihout any common sEnse theory as to dealing with the | new question, and places the demagog- iral sholters of press and stump in their proper light. It is by no means proven that trusts will be an economic | evil; some of them may be wholly so | for reasons peculiar to themselves. some may have evil features which | are balanced by the good, and some
 may be almost entirely beneficial. How to ascertain the facts and deal fairly with the corporations and the public is what rational thinking men should enIdeavor to find without prejudice. and because Mir. Depew's proposition tends to that end it is eminently sens able. A corporation, being a creature of the state. may rightly be required to make public such facts asAtos itself as are required to be known for the protection of legitimate public inter ests, and for the evils that Senator De- pew had in mind publicity is su- preme safeguard. The over-caEtalized trust, the trust that is stif1ing conpe- titiou, or forcing down wages, or raap- ing inprdinhte profits, has reason to fear official scrutiny, but one whose aim is to effect economies, cneapen the cost of production and selling price, extend its trade domain and deal fair generally with investors and public could not, be harmed by close inspection. Here, then, is the way for voters to deal with the trust question, not in the blind, vengeful and unrea- soning way of Bryan and Pingree, who would smash them without a trial. Let them do as fairly 10 aggregaisions of individuals as they would to single individual and kn5w what they are doing before taking a step that may be an economic blunGer and poiitfoal in- ] justice

An ALASKAN hut is not the worst place
in the world-far from it. It's interior
consists of a square floor of earth,
fanked on all sides by two wide lodges
rising one above the other like a ter
race. On the lower one rest the cook
ing, weaving and fishing utensils, the
knives and needles, pots and pans. On
the upper ledge, with much display of
wonderfully woven blankets, are the
beds. In the center of the room glows
the fire, the smoke cropping it's way out
of a hole in the roof. After the days
work is done and the stomachs of both
people and dogs are full, the family
gathers around the fire. Facing the
door sits the father, next him the moth

CALIFORNIAN FESTIVITIES.
The Scots Have a Jolly Time at
Pioneer Hall.

1t was an elegant spread that to
which the members of the Caledonian
Club sat down after the regular
monthly meeting at Pioneer Hall last
night.
Chief McLennan marshaled his clans
men and presided over the long table
which was loaded to the groaning point
with things good to eat and drink
And after the appetites of the thirty
or forty Scots and sons of Scots had
been satisfied a jolly, social good time
was had. Song and story went the
rounds, and 1t was indeed a bashful
member who could not be induced to
add to the occasion by song, verse, or
an extemporaneous effort at speech
making. Addresses were made by Chief
McLennan, D. Gillis and others, and
when all had been said the banqueters
rising, sang "Auld Lang Syne," and
the festivities were over.
At the business meeting the follow

The Two Englands.

Mr.. Morley's anonymous biographer in
the October Century thus character
ICES the political situation in England:
There are two Englands, and never
were the two in greater contrast and
conflict than at this moment There is
the England pushfui greedy of money,
of power, of all the lusts of flesh. the
England of bourse, of the race-course,
of the gold-mine, of the battle-fields;
or, to put it briefly and concretely, the
England of the Rand and of the ON.
durman. And there is the other Eng
land, the England of the conventicle;
of men who cling to something of mar
rowness, and unworldliness, and now
and then of obscurantism, to tenden-
cieS that made the Roundhead the
master, and for a time a tryant, of
England. Even when the voice Of one
England is loudest, that of the other
England is not altogether silent, though
there are many epochs when the voice
of one rises so thunderous that it is
difficult to believe in the existence Of
the other
We are passing through such an epoch
now. The vast and rapid fortunes
made in the Transvaal, the crowning
the full springtide of prosperity, luxury
-glorification, which all these things
have produced and which to-day make
London, with it's vast hotels, it's bril-
liant restaurants, it's crowded race
courses, it's glittering equipages, its
frenzied pursuit of pleasure, the most
luxurious capital in the world-all these
things have created an epoch in which
the old puritanic spirit of England
seems for the moment submerged and
destroyed. And, by a curious coinci-
dence, the Liberal party, which is by
the very roots of its being largely ar
rayed against all these things, which
finds its real inspiration, strength, and
being in the modest bourgeois, the
severe simplicity of the conventicle and
the simple homes of the poor, is at this
moment largely Influenced by a man
who is the very type of embodiment of
all the other tendencies of the time. A
lover of the race course, a relative of
the greatest financial house of our times,
friend of princes and confidant of
the court, an ardent imperialist, with a
sincere and vehement faith in his race
and in its mission of expansion and
conquest, Lord RoSebery has, to a large
extent, arrayed the Liberal party on
the side of that England of luxury and
conquest and arrogance to which the
Liberal party ought, in the natural
course of things, to be opposed.
One voice raises itself eloquently
against all these tendencies It is the
voice of man Who, having left all the
churches and the chapels, yet retains
their innermost faith and tendencies.
The conflict between Lord Rosebury
and Mr.. Morley is not a conflict of per-
sons nor of to-day, but a chapter, an
episode, in a secular English struggle.
BY strange. paradox, the open and
avowed iconoclast of the old dogmas is
yet the most-faithful exponent of their
best and innermost tendencies.

A Famous Horse at Philade1phia.

Lovers Of horses, a term that includ-
es, practically. all mankind, find on the
Esplanade of the National Export Ex-
position no attraction that appeals so
strongly to the finer sentiments as does
Jim Key, the beautiful, educated horse,
who was bred in old Kentucky.
Jim Keys owner gives an interesting
history of this marvelously intelligent
animal. Jim Keys mother, he says,
was Lauretta, known in Arabia as the
Queen of Arabian horses. She was
brought to this country by Barnum,
who paid fabulous sum for the animal.
Lauretta was formerly owned by Sheik
Ahmeid, from who she was stolen, a
fact that did not come to the knowledge
of the purchaser until long after Sheik
Ahmeid had become reconciled to his
loss. Jim Key was sired by Volunteer,
known as the King of Hambletonians.
What is regarded as a mark of Jim
Keys wonderful intellect is the distance
between his eyes, which is said to be
two inches greater than has ever been
found on any other horse.
On the occasion of Jim Keys visit to
Nashville, Tenn, the public schools Of
the city were closed for a day to enable
the school children to profit by an ex-
hibition of what can be accomplished by
humane treatment of a horse Many a
man, after seeing this educated animal
in his daily exercise of reading, writing
and arithmetic, operating a cash regis
ter and ringing up the fares on street
car, has said: "Pll never strike another
horse" Jim touches the heart at first
glance, and has made hosts of friends
at the exposition, where he will give
daily receptions until the close.-Phila-

MEXICO ON CANVAS.
Illustrated Lecture Last Night by
Rev. A. C. Herrick.

Rev. A. G. Herrick.
A large audience gathered at the
Sixth-street Methodist Cuhrch last
evening to witness the first of the series
of illustrated lectures by Rev. A. G.
Herrick
Mr.. Herrick took for his subject "Our
Sister Republic, Mexico Many OF
the pictures shown were new, and each
and every one depicted some event or
scene which has passed into the history
of Mexico. The affairs of the Aztecs,
the conquest by Cortez, the Washing
tom of Mexico (Juarez) and his deeds,
the brief sojourn and final death of
Macmillan, and the strength and pow
er of the government given the Mexi-
cans by Diaz, the Man of Iron," were
all set forth, and the story kept step
with the view shown.
AS sauce for the occasion, a quartet
OF Mexicans sang the national anthem
with zest and fervor. and were re-
called, and Mr.. Herrera favored the
audience with a solo.
The lecture was instructive and en-
tertaining, and was treat from begin
ming to end.
