Two Kinds of Men.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
7 note with interest what you say of Col
lis p HuntingtOn's sentiments on the labor
question. He was without doubt a ire
mendous power and an interchangeable work
er and a genius at money-making. 1t is
easy 10 see how man of his dynamic
build and assured success could have no
patience with the man without will power,
who degenerates into mere slave, with no
mentality above the mules. And yet there
are many such, and just such labor was
under his pay in building the great Central
Pacific line. II is OF this fraction of HUI
manity that Markham writes. There is the
picture Of the serf who is the type of the
Markham line III the reproduction of the
Alllet painting in M4rkhans book of
verse. THE Man with the Hoe and Other
Poems Here he is to-day, sweeping
our streets. laying our drains. doing our
garbage gathering. He is a legitimate SUBJ
Ject OF pity. Of course. But so is Hunting
tons man who Will not work. He is the
complement of Markham's man who works
too much. No doubt Huntington's son-in-
law, Prince Hatfield. was the type in the
Top who thinks labor degrading. To the
chaSrin of the princess. Huntington's
adopted daughter. whose bounty supports
the lOrdly scion, the railroad magnate
leaves her only one little million, and that
tied from the spendthrift husband. So,
while willing 20 pay for song about the
man VINO Will not work. the thrifty old man
was no; willing 10 pay for his bread.

He was a man without any literary
tastes who seldom or never read any
books, and took absolutely no part in the
intellectual movement of modern Italy.
Neither had he any tastes for the drama
1t was said of him that he never entered
the theater in his life; but this is an exag-
geration, for upon ceremonial occasions he
has entered the royal box. One of these
rare visits was made recently, when the
production of Signor Verdis "Falstaff''
was made the occasion OF a national
demonstration. The King was present in
the royal box, and the performance from
the beginning was ar immense success.
When the second act was over the King
said There is now no doubt as to the sue

summons to the royal box was considerably
