The money donated has gone mainly
to the founding and endowing of libra
ries and Institutes, and it is in similar
ways that he proposes-or says he pro-
poses-to distribute during his life
time the rest of his wealth. But to
say one thing and do something else
happens to us all, even to the best.
We fear that Mr.. Carnegie will die dis
graced. 1t is only through the past
that one may construe the future.
Should Mr.. Carnegie not die disgraced,
then, assuming that he intends here
after to distribute his money as leisure
ly as before, he must look forward to
quite green old age. At the pace he
has set it will take him 200 years to do
it.
On the other hand, assuming that it
is the intention of Mr.. Carnegie to be
a little more agile in the future than
he has been heretofore, are there not
other things besides Libraries and insti-
tutes on which this Vesuvius of gold
pieces might belch his wealth? Mr..
Carnegie evidently thinks so himself,
for in this gospel Of his he mentions
parks, galleries and churches, and in
mentioning them he declares that the
millions of the millionaire ought to be
so administered as to simulate the best
and most aspiring poor to further ef-
forts for their own improvement.
If Mr.. Carnegie means that, then bet
ter far more parks and halls and
churches would be fund that would
offer the aspiring poor a release from
natural sin, and in enabling them to
marry decently, enable them to also
have homes and food and health for
their young. There would be real
philanthropy, the right administration
Of wealth. But not a bit of it, Mr..
Carnegie perfers parks instead of food
art and churches instead of children.
For the poor he prefers parks that
don't provide. galleries that don't ap-
peal and churches that don't console.
Such is the gospel of wealth. In
reading it one can't but wonder how he
managed to make emptiness so heavy
and heaviness so light.-Edgar Saltus
in San Francisco Examiner.

A quarter of million of men are
marching the streets of our cities and

cal parties and of no political parties.
The grand army Of labor, with a his
tory of past achievements grander
than that revealed in the history or
any nation or of any people, it's de-
feats but temporary repulses, its VIC
tories permanent gains. ..
From the days Of the leadership OF
Moses to our day it has been the army
of liberation. It's onward march mas

grain spring from the soil it's feet have
trod. Mothers and wives and children

earthly reward of its leaders, but the

Of neglected boys is not one the
grievances set forth by the miners un-

presented to the public it cannot be ig-

that can be done, but we must study
and learn our duty, not only as a Chris
tan community, but as citizens of a
republic. These boys must somehow
get some of the training and privileges
of our public schools. They are en-
titled to it. 1t belongs to them wheth-
er their parents can afford it or not and
whether the stockholders of the coal
corporations get any dividends or not.
With some education they can be of
great service to themselves and the
public as skilled miners. Without it

The total revenue received in 1899 by
the operators for the coal marketed is
estimated at $190,000,000.
The labor cost of producing the so,
O0O, 900 tons mined was about $3.50 per
ton; total $75,0oo,ooo.

and the owners Of the capital. The
money invested in the business directly
is about $4,000, 100000.
The canker at the heart of the an
thracite business is the attempt, origi-
mating with Mr.. Gowan, to monopolize
the trade by purchasing and leasing
the whole coalfield with the expeeta-
ton of commanding the price of coal
in the market. There were in 1860
about 100000 acres Of anthracite coal
lands. Nearly all Of this has been pur-
chased by the Philadelphia and Read
ing, Lackawanna and Western, the
Lehigh Valley, the Delaware, and Hud-
son and the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre
companies. The interest on the pur-
chase is going on and the royalties
must be paid on the land leased or the
lands will be lost to their present own
ers. Most Of these lands have lain idle
on their hands for the last 40 years,
and large blocks will not be worked
for the next 50 years, and yet this In
terest on the capital bonds and these
royalties are charged up to the pre-
sent incomes that is,. the profits OF to-
day are invested in the coal to be mar.
