cARNEeIE, THE PHILANrHRoPIsr.

Since the announcement by Mr.. Car
negie, of his intention to retire from
active business, and to spend the rest
of his days, on this mundane sphere, in
dispensing in public benefactions the
S1OO, 000 900 or more amassed in the iron
business, there has been and there will
be more or less speculation as to the
motives which prompted this sudden
enlargement of benevoience. That he
has been actuated by considerations for
his fellowmep, many will be inclined TO
doubt, for there is hardly anything in
his history as iron master to warrant
such belief. To dispense in vain display
the millions wrung from the sweat OF
labor will hardly be regarded by the
great mass Of people as true philan-
thropy, no matter what the spirit in
which 1t is done. The people have not
yet forgotten that the man who now
proc,aims his purpose to spend his
money in public benefactions, denied
his men living wages and had them shot
down like dogs, when they demanded
wages enough to keen them from starv-
ing. His workmen at least, who have
contributed by sweat and Drawn and
blood, to the millions he now proposes
to dispense in erecting monuments for
the public good and his own self glori-
fcation perhaps, have not yet forgotten
the Pinkerton guards and the state
militia which forced them to accept
starvation at the point Of the bayonet.
Each grave overlooking the hillside of
the Monopgehela is a silent protest
against the distribution Of this mass of
wealth in the name of charity"
Had Mr.. Carnegie in the goodness
of his heart" given to his workmen at
Homestead, only the one-tenth part of
his 100000, 900 in increased wages,
there would have been an hundred times
more happy bones than he can ever
hope to make by the building Of costly
monuments and the endowment of
magnificent libraries. Every monument
that he will erect will have upon 1T
the stain of blood and the "damned
spot" will never out. Every library
that he will endoE will have the smell
of powder. Every sweet toned organ
given at his hand, will on each recurring
Sabbath, send forth its sacred tones,
mingled with the grosns of his work
men and the imprecations of innocent
souls sent into eternity during
the homestead strike. Mr.. Csrnegie's s
newborn purpose is commendable, but
the dispensation of $1O0,000,00 in
public beneiactions will hardly atone
for his more than quarter of cen
tury's industrial cruelty and barbarity,
and history will never record his name
in the list of true philanthropis!s, or as
one who Lowell his fellowmep.

A SOLDIER'S LETTER.
IPittshnrg Post. ]

ThepriVate letters of soldiers in the Philip
pines addressed to friends and relatives at
home continue to throw light on the situation
there in respect to important matters that we
do not find discussed in official dispatches OF
the censored press reports. We reprint from
yesterdays Post" the concluding paragraph
of letter from Captain Schaff, of Company A,
Tenth Regiment, recruited in Monongahela.
1t was dated at Manila, March 26:
II do not feel it an honor to war with these
people. Of course we are here and will do our
duty-a duty that has been forced upon us by
some of the socalled statesmen who should at
this particular time be in our places. 1t is a
burning shame, and the United States must
forever feel it. have seen men die who were
too good to be put up as targets for a half
civilized people, all on account Of blunders
made by a civilized nation as ours. The war
we enlisted for is over. We enlisted in a war
in the cause of humanity. or at least SO we
were led to believe. Now we are trying to
take from people what the American fore
fathers fought for-independence Is this
humanity If it 49, fail to grasp the idea."
We have no question that this sensible and
patriotic letter represents the sentiments of
nine-tenths of the volunteers now at the
Philippines. The Chicago Tribune" }" troubled
by the soldiers letters, wants their publication
suppressed, and declares that they are not
authen ticated, ''or they may have been manu-.
factured, or they may have been written by
Filipinos, who are cunning enough for such a
trick" Magnificent

JONES OF COLUMBUS.

In Columbus dispatch the late Hon. John
p. Jones assests that he is determined to bela
delegate to the state convention and hints that
if aught occurs to block the course of his am
bition "he will make trouble" This being
the case it is just as we'll that delegates are not
elected by a majority of votes in the county
convention, otherwise a dark future might
await Mr. Jone IS former constituents among
whom he has lost every claim to consideration.
1 Massillon Independent.
What does the "lndependen" mean
by the "late Hon. John P. Jones" ?
Does this imply that Jones is dead, po-
litically? We are inclined to believe
that Jones will be pretty lively corpse,
live enough to go to the state conven-
ton from Stark county, II he so chooses.
The "IndspendsDt' at any rate has
courage enough to oppose him, how
ever distateful it may be to have him
intrude himself on the delegation from
Stark.

"No, but Mary Ann did. She was standing
by the front fence with her beau. She saw
him, and will swear TO his identity"

Notes.
Special to the News-Democrat.

Special to the Democrat.
Carrollton, Ohio, May 12,-Hon. Elisha Nc
Guire of this place died in Cleveland yester
day while on visit to his son in that city
The deceased was in his s7th year and was one
of the old-time Democrats of Carroll county
He was elected sheriff in 1s48 and re elected in
1s4s In 1875 he was the Democratic candi
date for representative. He served several
terms on the school board and as assessor
He helped to organize the Connotton Valley
railroad and was its first president. He at
tended nearly every state convention where
he was often taken for Henry B. Payne as he
was the late senator's double. His remains
arrived in Carrollton today at noon.

BRYAN THE MAN.

Mr.. Elliott Dsnforth, prominent
Democratic politician of New York, who
has spent several weeks in the south,
studying conditions in that section as
they may bear on the presidential con.
test next year, declares that so far as
The South is concerned, and the same
may be said of the West, there is but one
man who is seriously considered for the
presidential nomination, and that man
is William Jennings Bryan. If the con-
vention were to be called tomorrow,
says Mr.. Danforth, 81 believe that solid
delegations would be sent from the
South and West demanding his renom-
instion. Possible issues are OVERHEAD
owed by Colonel Bryan's personal pop
uiarity. Mr.. Bryan answers the pur-
pose of both candidate and platform.
There is ringing demand in it's most
aggressive way, that the next platform
shall contain the strongest kind of anti
trust and income-tax planks l believe
that this feeling is universal with Demo
Gratis and fully as strong in the east and
middle states as in the west and south,''
Mr.. Dantorth is silent on the question
of Imperialism and Colonial Conquest.
That this will be an issue in the next
presidential contest, is now as certain
as that Bryan will be the candidate.

Senator Hanna says: "Of course am
for Quay. Why shouldn't be2'
Certainly, Mr.. Hanna; you couldn't
be anything else consistently. Birds OF
feather always flock together. Quay
as chairman OF The National Repub lean
Committee, raised a tremendous COR
r1ption fund and elected president.
You, occupying a similar position,
squeezed millions from the trusts, de-
bauched the voters in a dozen or more
OF the states and put Mckinley in the
White House.

nounces his purpose Of organizing a
new party. In this Mr.. Jones will
probably meet as great disappointment
as he did in his recent check on his
gubsrnatorial aspirations. Mr.. Jones
Golden Rule' don't seem to work just
quite right, somehow, when applied to
practical pol ltics, After all there may
be considerable sham in his Brother
hood of Man. etc. Time may reveal the
real character of the man.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-05-16

The election of delega ,es to the Re
publican state convention from Lucas
county on Tuesday, indicates sweep
ing victory for Hanna and crushing
defeat for mayor Jones, who is candi-
date for governor. Jones WE elected
mayor of Toledo in the recent spring
election as an independent candidate,
receiving nearly five times the vote of
the regular Republican candidate. The
people of Toledo who elected him mayor
evidently believe him to be the right
man for the place, and have shown by
their votes on Tuesday that they will
keep him there for two more years at
least,

HANNA REPUDIArED.

Repudiate the factional disturbers within the
Republican party. That is the only way to
insure victory. .-[Cleveland Leader.
We feel like congrstulating the Lea
der on the courage displayed in recon-
mendipg the reputation of Hanna
within the Republican party. Marcus,
of course, is not the only disturber, but
he is the prince of them-the Alpha and
Omega--snd it no doubt required more
than ordinary courage on the part OF
the Leader to make the suggestion-it il
hardly more than that-for 1t does not
assume the form of a command. Mr..
Hanna, however, has not yet declared
his intention of being repudiated, and
we venture the prophecy that there is
not enough moral courage in the g. o.
p. to "ire' him. If as the Leader says
"that is the only way toinsure victory"
then Democratic success is already as.

John G. Welty, of Canton, is a candidate fol
governor on the Democratic ticket, and he
says he believes Democrat can win If he is
not to radical. Mr.. Welty may as well under
stand that no Democrat who stands on the
silver plank of the Chicago platform can be
elected.--[Cleveland Leader.
And the Cleveland Leader and all
Democratic candidates might as well
understand that no Demo ocrat who does
not stand on the Chicago platform can
be nominated.
