NOT THE PEOPLES FAULT.

It is becoming apparent tt the en- thusiast.c and well meaning gentle men who sprung the scheme of Dewey home fund upon the country made grievous mistake in failing to get their organization into working shape before appealing 10 the people.

A MEXICAN OPINION.

What is working against the Bryan ties and the mugwumps in the United States is that the visible result of the recent war is a flood of prosperity and an enormously enhanced business ac- tivity. The American masses are for expansion, for fresh opportunities, and a better chance in life. They want the field of American endeavor so broad ened that they may not be everywhere overshadowed by trust or a syndi- cate. Hence. when a man like Dewey wins new empire they make a hero of him. Mugwumpian theories and acad emtcal laments will not go down with the American people, who are practi- cal, who love doers and achievers, and who have no ears for the Jeremiahs, except when business is bad.-Mexic can Herald, City of Mexico.

ANCIENT WEATHERCoCK.
This One Turned to the Winds of
 Four Centuries.

There has just been removed from the spire of St. Sidwellis church, al
 Exeter, a vane with a history more
 than usually interesting. Its career
 began more than four centuries ago
 It was m ASA that Bishop Courtnay of Exeter, heard that a great bell al Llandaff might be acquired, and, hay | ing a passion in that direction, he jcurneye1 to the South Wales town and managed to secure the monster in ex- change for five smaller ones. He sue cessfully removed it to Exeter, and had it hoisted to the top of the north ern tower of the cathedral
 | The tower, however, had not been designed to accommodate such a cam pathological giant. and room could only be found for 1t then by removing a portion cs the roof To protect his treasure the bishop erected over the tower a spire Of oak, covered with lead, and he surmcunted this by a vane, the conspicuous feature of which was a representation of a rooster in copper.
 Its extreme length was two feet nine inches and height two feet six inches, while it was eight inches thick in the center, being cast hollow. The chanticleer remained in this lofty po- sit;on for 268 years, discharging the useful duty of telling the residents of the Ever Faithful city which way the wind blew. During that long spell of service it looked down on some strange and moving sights, for the period covered by it's lofty eXertions w3s rich in history making incidents.
 In 1752 the sp:re was taken down, and the Peter bell was lowered into the tower far enough to allow the original level of roof to be reverted to. The spire was re-erected on the tow CT of St. SidwelPs parish church-a tower, by the way, which also has a history It has on mora than one oc- casion been utilized as a prison, espa- cially during the rebellious times of the sixteenth century, and trs sGition has it that ST Walter Raleigh's father was once incarcerated there
 For sixty years the old copper roos- ter rested from it's labors in the ca mounted on the St. Sidwell's spire. and there it continued until a few days ago, when it was removed preparatory 70 the demolition of the spirs, which had been found to be in a dangerous condition. The ancient vane s in a remarkably fine state of preservation and those in authority intended to re- fix it on rod to be placed on the top of the tower in the place of the rot ten spire.
 The old weatherceck has braved the storms of 415 years; but i. is believed there is another century of active ser vice in it yet-London Mail

Secretary Allen, Assistant Pos ostmaster General Heath and Treasurer Rob erts. The people are not to be
 blamed for this state of affairs. There are thousands Of enthusiastic admir-
 CTS of Dewey in every state of the
 Union who would be glad to contribute dollar to some practical means of honoring and re'warding him, and that kind of popular demonstration is the one which Dewey will take with good grace, f any. But it is too much to expect of this widely scattered host that it's members will work together without executive direction, and no one should know that better than each of the distinguished gentlemen at Washington who have led the Dewey movement merely by their moral sup port. The indifference of the people to their project is only apparent. not real. If they will organize the move ment along the lines followed in their official departments they will be as tonished at the results The failure of this scheme, now that it has bsen launched, might with some reason cause Admiral Dewey to discount largely the noisy hurrah that grsets h.s arrival.

HOW TO USE MONEY.

| The announcement soon after his
 formal withdrawal from active busi-
 ness that Andrew Carnegie intended to
 devote the remainder of his life and
 lis great wealth to practical philan- thropy has been followed by general and free discussion of the. best uses to which enormous fortunes may be put. It is quite generally admitted that Up to this time MT Carnegie has made good use of his money, but people are,
 naturally enough, anxious to know
 what he proposes to do with the very
 handsome amount still remaining in
 his possession. They will have to exercise patience in this matter, for
 men of MT. Carnegie's ability know how to keep their own counsel, but the discussion is interesting, nevertheless.
 One of the most sensible suggestions in this connection has been made by Prof.. J. c. Schwab of the department of political economy Of Yale univers- ity, who is disposed to take a practi- cal view of the whole question. Prob ably the best thing that MT. Carnegie could do with his money" says Prof. Schwab, would be to employ it act lively in business; that is, he should build factories and railroads and em- ploy his money productively."
 This will not meet the approval Of those who insist upon associating a proper use of money with gift of one sort or another, but the idea is sound and sensible. The rich man who so uses his wealth as to provide profitable employment for the greatest possible number of people is making a wise and helpful use of money. Prof. Schwab says that if the course suggested is out Of the question in MT. Carnegfe's case, he should do as he has been doing, es- tablish libraries and similar institu- tions, but he adds that 'fthe least ad- vantageous way for the disposition of the Carnegie millions would be to es- tablish so-called charitable institu- tons"
 In these days, when many people are | trying to make their fellows believe | that great employers of labor are the l enemies of mankind, it is pleasing to see this sort of recognition of the fact | that the most useful men are those | who furnish work, and tt may be add ed that few men have met this test | more completely and satisfactorily | than has MT Carnegie.

BANKING ON THE INVISIBLE.

A condition of affairs has come to
 pass in the natural gas region of In diana, which should teach a useful les son. The supply is rapidly failing, the area of the great reservoir from which the gas was drawn, which at one time
 embraced 2,S00 square miles, having
 contracted to little more than 200 square miles When this natural gas
 was first developed a rush set in to
 take advantage of the cheap fuel and
 illuminant. and hundreds of great
 manufacturing establishments were
 located and fitted up to use the gas. At
 present there are 157 Indiana towns
 and cities drawing On this gas supply,
 to say nothing of Ohio and Chicago.
 There are PIG companies engaged in
 furnishing it, and the great pipe lines
 reach as far west as Chicago, as far
 east as Springfield, Ohio, as far south
 as Indianapolis, and as far northeast
 as Fort Wayne. Not fewer than 325,-
 900 consumers will be drawing on this
 limited section of 200 square miles
 within six months The prospect is
 gloomy, and there is consternation
 among consumers as well as produc-
 CTS. Experimental drilHngs are now
 being made in different sections of the
 gas field in an attempt to find truth
 in the assertion that natural gas is generating sufficiently to replenish the sections which have been aban- doned for several years, but which were at one time heavy poducers.. These experiments have proved fail ures thus far, and it looks as if the great gas reservoir had been simply a pocket. which has been almost worked out. It is of course not proposed to abandon the field without exhausting all efforts to locate new supplies. The next experiment. that is to be made is to sink a well to the depth of one mile u has always been a theory among gas and oil well drillers that there was a deeper reservoir under the Indiana field, and that it would be opened inside of a mile. One attempt was made to send drill to that depth, | but after reaching 1900 feet accidents | were met with which caused the work | to be abandoned. There will be a de- limit, and there will be sufficient funds | to accomplish the work. But it must | be admitted that the chances are very | much against the success of these cx- periments. In all these cases there is banking on the invisible, with the chance of failure of the unseen assets sooner or later. Petroleum has held put well up to the present time, but ,here is no certainty that the supply may not yet fail under the enormous md constantly increasing demand

It is puzzling problem, as well as a scandalous disgrace, that is presented by the feud in Clay county, Kentucky. This family war is similar to the bit ter feuds that have ragged elsewhere in the southern Appalachian range, ex- tending from the mountaineers of West Virginia to the desperate Bald Knobbers of Missouri It is charac- teristtc of these fierce vendsttas, hand ed down from father to son, that they occur in regions not yet penetrated by railroad or telegraph. Cautiously, also, the participants are usually pro nounced in their observance Of the forms of religion. Prayer and exEor- tation are wierdly mixed with assas- sination. The actual suspension of judicial procedure in Clay county ard the Inability of mil.tia to enforce or der means a condition of actual an- archy. If the governor cannot uphold civilization. there. it IS plainly his duty to call for federal interference. The present situation is intolerable.

No doubt you enjoy the sea bathing, But think of your poor lonely spouse Returning at night from hard labor To a wifeless, tenant. J house." Such are the ways of the fanciful fair. They think not at all of their mate; The bills may be high-what do they

publish the following telegram from

can candidate for governor in Ohio to-
morrow:
Hon. G. K. Nash, republican state com
mittee, Columbus, Ohio:
Have been hoping till last moment
that my recovery from a severe car
bunkle would be so rapidly complete
as to enable me to take active part in
your brilliant canvass, but being unable
to do so, l send you greeting and as
surance that New England was never
more intensely anxious for a decisive
republican victory than now in Ohio
The magnificent prosperity enjoyed by
all sections, all industries and all
classes, under President Mckinley
administration, is assailed and imper-
iiled by every vote cast against you
and while our nations flag is under
fire on foreign SOIL every patriot in the
state of our COMMUNICATIVE chief should
stand by the government in maintain
ing the fruits of Dewey's glorious vic
tory, vinslicating the sovereignty that
we have assumed by victory. AS stan
dard bearer in Ohio, you are repelling
an assault upon our president and our
flag l am sure you will win as
glorious a victory as those you have
so often organized for other candidates
in the past and l wish l could actively
participate now in your personal tri-
umph.
