Poor, but Rich.

Once in England I was driving with
an old farmer, and some of the neigh.
borhood came under criticism. Speak.
ing of a prominent man in the village,
I asked: us he man of means ?"
"Well, sir" the farmer replied, he
amt got much money, but he's mighty
rich.''
HE has great deal of land, then?'
1 asked.
mo, sir, he amt got much land,
neither; but still be is mighty rich.'
The old farmer, with a pleased smile,
observed my puzzled look for a mo-
ment, and then explained:
you see he amt got much money,
and he amt got much land. but still
he is rich, because he never went to
bed owing man cent in all his life.
He lives as we'll as be wants to live,
and pays as he goes; he doesn't owe
anything, and he amt afraid of any
body; be tells everyman the truth, and
does his duty by himself, his family,
and his neighbors; his word is as good
as his bond, and every man, woman
and child in the town looks up to him
and respects him. No, sir, be Amt
got much land; but still he is mighty
rich man, because he's got all he
wants. -
assented to the old farmers deduc-
lions, for l thought them entirely cor
rect. When man has all be needs
and all he wants, he is certainly rich.
aud when he lacks these things he is
certainly poor.-Outlook.

The Metropolitan Railroad Company of
New York has withdrawn it's bid for the
construction of the rapid transit tunnel,
which Is PLANNED to run under the city on
its longest axis. The corporation explains
that it is not willing to undertake the work
on any basis short of a perpetual franchise
This brings Immediately into issue the
question whether it would not pay the
city to dig the tunnel and build the road
itself Doubtless the problem presented by
the withdrawal of the bid win be discussed
now on this basis. for at present accounts
the Metropolitan company is the most like
ly corporation to undertake the costly en-
terprise. The tunnel in this instance would
be in the nature of a permanent plant 1t
would run generally under the straets, thus
occupying public space. 1t is indeed ques-
tionable whether 1t is wise to grant a per-
petuai franchise of any sort, particularly
where IL gives to private holders the own
ership of the street founda tions. 1t is often
urged in behalf of the municipal owner
ship of street railways that the people
ought at least to construct the road beds,
leasing them to corporations under definite
terms az tc maintenance. 1t 10 believed

The Western Volunteers.

What is the real basis of this demand on
the President for the return of certain
western volunteers now serving in the Phil
ippines? Are the officials making it speak
ing by authority. or merely for partisan pur-
poses? Are they voicing the desires OF
the soldiers Or constituting themselves
judges of what is best for the soldiers? Is
it a move in a political game, or solicitude
for men bearing the heat and burden of
a hard day?
Everything points to the belief that it is
a political maneuver. The western volun-
teers, in fact, all the volunteers, in the
Philippines have been carrying themselves
too well to make it possible to doubt either
their courage or their staying qualities
That they would prefer to be at home in
favorable circumstances is of course natu-
raj and certain. But that any great num-
Der of them are anxious to quit the field
in the presence of an avowed enemy before
provision can be made to supply their places
with regulars so that the work of establish
ing Anerican authority may be carried
steadily on is not to be credited for one
moment. Such a spirit would not fit the
spirit these men have already shown
This refers to the great majority of the
volunteers. There are exceptions There
are always exceptions. In every army
may be found men who are anxious
to get out-men who enlisted in moment
of passing enthusiasm, or under some other
influence not strong enough under pressure
to hold them sturdily to the engagement
But the assertion may confidently be ven
tured that such men are not numerous In
the army in the Philippines. The flag there,
whether carried by volunteers or regulars
is in good hands. and few would leave 1t
unprotected in order to take advantage OF
or force recognition of the strict terms OF
their enlistment
These anti-administration, anti-American
politicians in the west should play their
game a little more frankly pol OF their
constituents in uniform in the Philippines
would show that they are not cutters OF
nostalgia weaklings and would not under
any circumstances abandon their posts IN
the face of the enemy and leave their coun-
try in the lurch.

lar dinner party. the black man Is a factor
of Importance. His votes are solicited at
election time and his labor Is well paid.
When Mr.. Bryan enters the "enemy's coun-
try he takes a long chance at meeting on
what is for the time a social equality repre-
sentatives of the negro race. He wants
their votes.
But will the south stand for this? Mr..
Bryan as the champion of free silver and
Mr.. Bryan the companion of the black
man are two entirely different propositions.
1t matters not that the black man at the
table Saturday night stands squarely with
Mr.. Bryan on every doctrine which he ad-
vocates. While politically they may be
brothers, socially they must be enemies.
Otherwise the south will enter protest.
This is trifling incident but it may
cause trouble. Smaller items have before
now gone into history as the operating
causes of great changes. Mr.. Bryan must
either repudiate the black man with whom
he broke bread or he must accept him as a
member of the fraternity working shoulder
to shoulder for the Chicago platform cause.
The south is likely to insist upon having an
unequivocal declaration, and not to permit
any evasion of the issue.

No Color Line at the Dollar Dime,

MIR. Bryan is now in hot water because
several colored men attended the dollar
dinner in New York, which was graced by
the presence OF the silver leader. The peo-
pie Of the south want to know what MI
Bryan means by such associations. They
are asking embarrassing questions. Mr..
Bryan is not answering them at present,
waiting for further light on what may
prove an awkward problem. He says, how
ever, that he saw negro at the dinner. but
he refuses to say whether he would have
attended had he known that the black man
would be there.
Mr.. Bryan is politician enough to realize
that he is skating over very thin ice when
he approaches the race question The bulk
of his strength is in the south Without
the votes of the states where the black man
is ostracised socially and is steadily being
disfranchised politically he would not be in
the running. Only the other day in the
course of speech in the west he berated
the republican party for what he declared
to be discrimination in its treatment OF
the black man of the south and the brown
man of the Philippines. The Star at the
time pointed out the inconsistency of this
position and noted the fact that this was
delicate ground for q man who looks to ths
south for electoral votes.
IL is by no means strange that black
man should have ATTENDED the dollar din
uer in New York. The negroes of the north
have won many advantages and have beer
accorded considerable recognition as a re-
suit of good behavior and self Improvement
In some circles, notably those affected By
Mr.. Bryan IN his championship Of the dol
