Mr.. Russell Sage does not agree with
Mr.. Andrew Carnegle's philosophy of
wealth. Mr.. Sage does not believe that
ito die rich is to die disgraced." He is
the owner of a number of millions of
dollars, variously estimated from ten to
one hundred, but he is not going TO quit
work and devote himself to distributing
his money. Mr.. Sage thinks he is per-
forming a noble public service by hold
ing on to his fortune. Men who possess
these big interests" said Mr.. Sage the
other day. "are inspirations to men to
struggle for wealth. They are monu-
ments 20 point at You can say to the
ambitious man, Look at Russell Sage;
see what he did, and the ambitious man
will say 10 himself. Why can't do like
wiser . That Is one way in which the
holden millionaire Is a benefit to the
country. Here is another of them, as ex-
planned by Mr.. Sage at is a mistake for
men possessing great properties 10 go out
Of business. They should hold on 10 their
interests as a protection TO the public"
So, 1t viii be seem Mr. Sage regards him
self as being quite as much a philanthro-
pist in his peculiar way as Mr. Carnegie
is in his way. Mr.. Sage permits the strug-
Cling man 70 look upon him as a great
man and model to be copied. and that
is worth something. And then he holds
tight to his millions is protection to
the public, for, if he were to turn them
loose the public which got hold of a part
OF them might over eat and that would
be bad.

1t is to be hoped that Gov. Pingree of
Michigan will be able to run down TO
Washington next summer. If he does,
he will see sight that will fill his soul
with joy; for the plot of ground back
of the White House is 20 be planted in
corn and potatoes. This turning of the
grass pat into truck garden, however,
is not\ for the benefit of the executive din
ner table. Mr.. Mckinley does not need
the truck which will be produced 20 help
him exc out a living upon his salary. The
fact is that something is the matter with
the soil around the executive mansion,
and it will not grow as nice and vigor-
Gus grass as is desired there. The sx-
perts of the agricultural department have
concluded that the best thing that can be
done for the improvement of the soil is
to grow a crop of corn and potatoes in il,
hence the crop will be put in this year.
There has been no suggestion of politics
in connection with the planting of the
crop, of course, but it can plainly be seen
that when the President next summer has
visitors from Wayback they win be struck
with the thrift and simplicity of the chief
executive of this great nation, who raises
corn and potatoes in his back yard.

1t IS announced in New York that
chemist has discovered how 1t is possible
to produce a forty-sjx candle power light
with a consumption of one foot of illumi-
mating gas per hour. The ordinary gas
burner Of the present time requires six
feet per hour. and the We,sbach light re-
quires about half that quantity. 1t can
be understood. therefore. that # the claim
of this new discoverer is well based, 1t
means a great deal for both consumers
and gas companies. If one of the com
panies involved in the big gas war in New
York should secure the exclusive right
of the new invention, the competing COM
panies would have to go out of the illu-
minating business.

Tie Adams poisoning case in New York
city is as much a mystery as ever. Some
oi the newspapers OF that city are saying
that the reason che grand jury refused to
iadict Molineaux, VINO was charged with
having sent the poison. is that he had a
pull" The ground on which this state
ment is made, is alleged 10 be thai the
grand jury undertook to determine
whether in their opinion Molineaux was
guilty OF not, by examining witnesses for
the defense as well as for the state. If
the grand jury did that 1t certainly did
something unusual 1t is generally ex-
pec'ea that a grand jury will find out
"hether there is prima facie case against
'ne accused from the witnesses for the
state.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Commercial Advertiser
(Rep) says: THAT the new bankruptcy
law is defective has been evident ever
since its passage. 1t is a compromise meas
ure, and compromise bankruptcy Jaw
means more or less opportunity for dis
honest debtors to cheat their creditors. At
the same time it is TO be kept in mind that
many debtors who have been discharged
recently from bankruptcy under this act
failed several years ago, and that if credi-
tors have not received the benefit from the
new law that they had expected they at
least are not worse off. These debtors did
not pay under the old order of things, and
hence creditors have not lost by the pres
ent law. Just what the effect of the new
law will be can be better determined when
it is seen whether it affords greater pro-
lection against fraudulent debtors than
creditors enjoyed before its enactment
This will probably be evident by the time
Congress meets again. Attempt will be
made to strengthen the law next winter,
and in the meantime experience under 1t
as il now stands will be useful in showing
in what directions it can be amended 10 adj
vantage"

The Washington Post Qnd) says: 1.-THE
President has no right TO assure the Fill
pinos that they are in the same position to-
ward the United States as the Cubans, for
that would be false. Cuba is, for an indefi-
mite period, under our guardianship; the
Philippines are ours, as much as Alaska,
Porto Rico, or Hawaii But the President
has assured the Filipinos, and Aguinafdo
and has chief agents know that they can
depend upon us to give them all the bless
ings of a good government with as much
of home rule as they may be capable Of ex-
ercising.
The Philadelphia Record (Dem) says:
There was something almost pathetic in
the rush of applicants for the civil service
examination for positions In the mint The
mint is one of the places where about three
persons are engaged in stumbling over one
another in order to do the work of one. 1t
Is full and running over. Scarcely one in
ten of those adjudged competent stands

vacancy; but there are no vacancies. 1t is
a case of more maggots than cheese"

TERRIBLE TORNADO AT KIRKSVILLE, MO.
AS result of the tornado that swept
through the eastern part of Kirksville,
Mo-, Thursday evening, demolishing half
of the residences and other buildings, 200
families are homeless and more than 30
dead bodies and 70 injured persons have
been recovered from the ruins. More
than dozsn of the injured win die. Al
though rescuers have been searching the
ruins ever since the storm spent its fury,
many are still missing and it is thought
that considerable number Of the unfor-
Inmates were consumed in the flames that
broke cut soon after the storm had
ceased. When the storm struck the city,
most OF the residents were at supper.
The tornado cut clean path one mile
long and 600 feet wide through the resi-
dence section. Buildings were demol-
ished or twisted spart and scattered to
the winds. A conservative estimate
places the aggregate amount Of damage
at S2O0, 900, the individual losses ranging
from 800 to $4,000. The wind played
many pranks, and there were some mir
aculous escapes. J. G. Coonfield and nj
