Personality AS An Asset.

The wealth of John l. Blair, living,
was reckoned at from forty to one
hundred millions. Now that he Is
dead and the assets are gathered to-
gether it is found to be about $3,000,-
900.
This Is familiar story. 1t reflects
in part that species of vanity which
makes men revel in the mouthing of
large figures and to that end exag-
gerate the fortunes of the very rich,
But it also suggests how often the
owner of great wealth is the most i'm
portant factor in creating value for
his holdings. A. 7. Stewards shop
made great forune for him. Yet
when he died his fortune instantly
shrank, and in the hands of less COM
petent shopkeepers than he the shop
that had created it brought insolvency
to those who succeeded him in its con-
trol. And later came another great
shopkeeper, who has made the same
shop again an enormously paying in
stitution, thus additionally emphasiz-
ing the value of personality as an as
set.
In the same way the late Gov Fowl
er, few months before his death, was
proclaimed in the newspapers as one
of the richest men in the world, Yet
when he died his estate was found 10
be worth at the most three or four
millions. While he lived in Brooklyn
Rapid Transit shares were Bought and
sold at from 1870 to 13S. Now that he
is dead they are quoted at about 73

A War of Giants.

The battle which promises to follow
the filing of a suit yesterday by H.
c. Frick against Andrew Carnegie
will, unless diplomacy should yet in
terpcse to prevent war, be one of the
most startling engagements ever con-
tested in the courts of Allegheny coun-
ty, or in the courts of the world.
While the sum involved by Mr.. Frick' S
bill in equity appears on its face to be
the difference between $16,OO0,O00 and
$6,O00,000, in its wider range it reaches
a property which Mr.. Carnegie, it is
claimed, said he could dispose of in
London for 1OO,O0O,O0O pounds sterl-
ing, or half a billion dollars.
Nominally the Carnegie Steel comp
any, limited, is worth the capitalization
which is $25,OO0,0O0 But last year it
earned a net profit of nearly 100 per
cent. en- that figure, and according to
Mr. Carnegie's estimates for the cur
rent year, it will earn 100 per cent
this year on that capitalization. Mr..
Frlck puts the earnings even higher.
Mr.. Fricks figures represent per
cent on capitalization of 100000, 900.
The figures stagger the imagination.
No one can conceive the enormous
sum involved. Leaving cut all figures
as to the value of the stock the mere
fact that property can earn $40,-
900 900 net annually, and the Carnegie
works are improving every year,
makes it a prize that will be fought
for in lordly manner. No legal talent
is so high-priced but that 1t will be en-
gagged if it can be of use, and no STRAIT
egy known to law will be overlooked in
the contest. The boldness of suit
that suggests a receiver for an institu-
ton that pays $4O,OO0.OOO year has
hardly a parallel in legal annals

We Must Not Surrender,

The closing paragraphs Of the ex-
pansion speech delivered by Mr.. Slbley
in Congress recently is well worth
reading. He said.
IF the administration shall sur
render the Philippines the historian
of the future who extols jefferson,
Madison, Tyler and Polk. will write
down McIlinley's action as the most
pusillanlmous in the record. But this
administration will not surrender.
Its critics will be forgotten. Every
advance to higher and nobler forms of
life has been opposed by some old,
conservative moss bunker who prated
of the good days when his grandfather
swung by his tail in the forest prim-
eval."
Mr. Sibley concluded as follows.
''Mr. Chairman, every dictate of rea-
son and of prudence every dictate of
business sense and of commercial ad-
vantage. every prompting of humanity
and every obligation of plighted fra
ternity unite in the demand that we go
forward. We have a mission to fulfill
destiny to accomplish, and an ex-
ample to be afforded to the nations
how they may justly rule themselves,
not in license, but in liberty.
Shall we falter in our duty? Shall
we haul down that flag whose waving
stripes bespeak the red of sacrifice and
the white of purity. and whose silver
stars shining in the field Of blue are an
aspiration and an inspiration to all
that is noble in life and beneficent in
government? No, let 1t float, and
Under its folds shall brothers be knit
in bands,
From the mountain crest to the gray
sea sands,
And the world will be better, l ween.
