Charles Summers Idealism.

Few persons at all conscious of their
power for good by political means have
been less selfishly ambitious than Sum
ner. Although egostical vain and over
bearing, he never sought power and
glory chiefly for his own advancement,
but rs a means to an unselfish end. To
him public life was not a personal at
fair. If there ever was a brutal, cow
ardly act it was Brooks assault. It
made Sumner an invalid for years and
permanently injured his health: yet the
victim bore the bully no grudge. What
ever extremes Sumner advocated were
not for the purpose of revenge or pun
ishment, but strictly for what he sup
posed to be the Welfare of the negro.
Perhaps he was exhibiting his idealism
quite as much as his craftsmanship when
he advocated the removal from battle
flags the names of victories won over
fellow citizens. Whatever we may
think Of his Judgment, there can be but
one opinion as to the magnanimity OF
his character. He never saw wrong
that he dared not attack, and never de-
ceiyed himself with that most democrat
izing question, Whats the use?'' He
was pre-eminently a man of principles

former does not give the beautiful,

otherwise it would have been neces-

by the Chemistry OF Manufactures.
Mr.. Huntington was of the opinion that
the field of chemistry applied to CONNER
Gial ends offered the greatest Of the OPP
pOrtunities probably for amassing wealth
which will open up in this country in the
twentieth century. The great fortunes
from the development of the transporta-
ton business have been made. Hereafter
there is to be more and more distribution
OF those fortunes. But MIR. Huntington
not long ago said that if a chemist were
to make discovery Of some combination
that would take the place of rubber he
would have at his hand fortune quite
as great as that gained by Ressemer
when he discovered his cheap process of
making steel. In fact, Mr.. Huntington
declared that if he were younger man.
he would go to Africa or South America
and undertake the cultivation OF rubber.
. while at the same time he would keep in
close alliance with all the chemists. with
the hope that they might be able to make
artificial rubber.
So. too, he said that the chemist or
the bOtanist who was able to discover in
some leaf or shrub or annual plant just
the qualities that are iii spruce timber
and by Il chemical or scientific process. of
which he had the trade mark or the
secret, was able to deliver pulp to paper
manufacturers as good as that of spruce
