USES OF THE RICH MAN.

Mr. Andrew Carnegie says: Thus is
the problem of rich and poor to be solved
The laws OF accumulation will be left
free: the laws OF distribution free. indi-
viduals will continue. but the millionaire
will be but the trustee OF the poor; en-
trusted for a season with a great part Of
the increased wealth of the community,
but administering 1t for the community
far better than 1t could or would be done
for itself"
Many Will sneer at this and say that
Mr.. Carnegie is putting in a cunning plea
for the millionaire. But Mr.. Carnegie has
told the simple truth. Every observant
man knows that few can be safely trust
ed with great riches. The old saying Is
OF this man or that 'He cannot stand
prosperity" There are few who can.
There are few men who know how 10
handle a great fortune. But In nine out
OF ten eases the man who knows how TO
accumulate money also knows how 10
distribute IT. There was a noble
example in this community In the
late Major Lewis Ginter. lie built
up large fortune. but he used his money

TILE ELECTIONS YESTERDAY.

The interest in yesterdays elections cen-
tered In Ohio. Kentucky, Nebraska and
Maryland. In Ohio John r. Mclean, ed
itor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, was the
regular Democratic nominee, Nash the
nominee of the Republicans and Mayor
Sam Jones. OF Toledo, was RUNNING as a
free lance on what he termed The Gold
en- Rule" platform. Jones was originally
@ Republican. but has recently shown
6ocialistic tendencies. being in favor oil
government ownership OF 'pubic utili-
ties"-which means trusts For some
fine past he had had the leaders Of both
the old parties guessing. It was difficult
10 tell whether he would draw more from
the Republican or the Democratic party
and the vote which he would poll was
an unknown quantity. II appears from
the returns that he polled a larger vote
than the Republicans conceded TO him,
end that it came mainly from the Re
publcans
In Kentucky there was a Democratic
revolt against Goebel, the regular Demo
cratic nominee. Former Governor John
Young Brown was the nominee Of the
Independent Democrats for Governor
while Taylor was the regular Republican
nominee. The fight was one Of the bit
terest that the State ever knew and it
appears from the Republican gains that
many Of the independent Democrats voted
for Taylor.
In Nebraska the contest was for judges
OF the Supreme Court, and was between
the Fusionists. Democrats and Populists,
and the Republicans Mr.. Bryan made
a vigorous canvass and eNerted his pow
erful influence to poll as great a vote as
possible for the Fusion ticket.
Maryland has returned to the Democrat
&c column. The negro question, especially
in the city Of Baltimore where the negroes
have made themselves most offensive to
the whites, figured conspicuously in the
contest. There was also some dlsaffec-
ton in the ranks Of tho Republicans. 1t
is impossible for any party which de-
ponds upon the negro vote to hold for
long any victory which IT may win in
Southern State. 1t is also well enough
10 note the fact that the Democrats in
Maryland won on a platform which ig
norcd the free silver issue.
Virginia is, of course overwhelmingly
Democratic. but IN nearly every county
where independent Democrats made
vigorous night against the party machine
they won.

Editor Of The Richmond Times;
Sir-With reference to the letters IN your
issue Of October 9th concerning Geherai
Lees portrait at the Military Acauehy
and your editorial comment on the same
subiect-the following notes may ala III
clear understanding Of the matter.
The grades held by General Lee IN the
United States Army were;
cadet. 1875. second lieutenant, corps OF
engineers. July i. 1870. first lieutenant
CORPS of engineers. September q, 1896; cap
tain. CORPS OF engineers, July z, lhsi ieu-

lie received the following brevets In the
Mexican war:
Brevet major, April is. 1877; brevet lieu
tenant-colonel. August 20 s4G DreVet
colonel. September l3, 1sh
He was superintendent Of the United
States Military Academy from September
l. 1852. to March 81. 1875.
While General Lee was superintendent
of the Military Academy his army rank
was. therefore. that of captain of en-
gineers except for the last month Of his
tonr. lwns II was that OF lieutenant-col-
onel of the Second Cavalry lie had the
title Of colonel from his brevet and signed
himself "Bvt. col, Sup't Military Aea-
denny"
Until 1856 the Superintendents of the
academy we're all selected from the corps
Of engineers. but the act of July 18th of
that year opened 1t TO the entire army
Therefore when General Lee accepted
the appointment as lieutenant-colonel of
one of the new cavalry regiments being
raised i'm 1855. this took him out OF the
corps OF engineers and made 1t necessary
for him TO be relieved as superintendent
OF the Military Academy.
The law which gives the superintendent,
no matter what may be his rank In the
army, the temporary rank OF colonel was
not passed until 1858.
The portraits at the Military Academy
have been mainly collected since the clvll
war and the portrait Of General Lee does
not appear ever to have been among them.
The practice has been TO show the officer
in the uniform he wore as superintendent.
which for General Lee would be that OF a
captain OF engineers or a lieutenant-col-
onel Of cavalry.

Another illustration is TO be found in
the life OF the late Mr. Dexter Converse,
OF South Carolina. lie began as a poor
hoy ON n farm and worked his way up
20 the head of a cotton factory. He was
the pioneer in cotton manufacturing in
the South. and built up large profitable
mills at Glendale S. c., and at other
points An spartanburg county He put
thousands of people to work, and made
that county pre-em!nenty leader in
manufacturing More than that he built
up noble school for young women,
which bears his name. In short his for
tune was a blessing to the whole COM
munity. and he was worth more to 1t
than any hundred men, perhaps. in the
county.
We could multiply the illustrations, but
it is not necessary. We know OF few
rich men I'm any community who do not
employ their money 10 promote the gem

rich men are phlanthropists, but what
ever their motive they usually keep their
money circulating in such a way as to
give others the benefit of it. We are not
making any plea in behalf Of the rich.
They do not ask 1t. They do not need
it. They are able to take care OF them
selves. But We would impress an inter-
