 Plans and estimates for Pittsburg polytechnic institute are being prepared at the request of Andrew Carnegie, which call for an outlay of from s5,90O.0Oo to SSoo0OOO for buildings and an endowment fund of s25,OOO,OOo more for maintenance Mir. Carnegie is now on his way to this country. When he reaches Pittsburg the committee which has for several months been busilV engaged. will make report to him. It is believed by the citizens of Pittsburg that an institution is to be founded which will be the means of edu- eating thousands of skilled artisans.
 Judge Josiah Cohen of the Orphans Court of Pittsburg, who Is a member of the committee appointed at the request of MT. Carnegie. is in this city. He was seen at the Majestic Hotel He admitted that the committee had made consider able progress in preparing its report for MT. Carnegie, but was retieent when asked for the exact details. He said the committee could not at the present time give for publication all the facts con- nected with the proposed school
 Se-toC Nbii1h t5 q lh hdPtcO OA ttic SeAA negie Institute, which Is now in opera tien. On account of their experience the trustees of the institute were asked to ascertain what would be required for the founding of polytechnic institute. Tt is proposed" said Judge Cohen, Ito found in Pittsburg, which I consider the greatest industrial city In the world, an institution for the training and educa- tion of apprentices and students in all trades. Such an institution will require at least sixty acres of ground for the various buildings necessary. The ground will be given by the city of Pittsburg in all probability. The proximity of so many industrial establishments to Pittsburg, as well as the fact that there are so many manufacturing establishments in the city itself. makes Pittsburg pre-em- inently an appropriate place for a great polytechnic institution.
 Tt will be necessary to have many de- partments. MT. Carnegie asked the trus- tees of the Carnegie Institute to deter mine what structures should be built and how much money would be required to maint ain such an institution.
 In the preparation of plans and esti- mates the committee has been guided by experts. MT. Carnegie wished the commit tee to consult authorities in all the de- partments which would be included in the school. Some of these men were we'll known educators along the lines to be followed by the polytechnic institute. Others were engaged in important enter prises. From these experts the commit

Where Poverty Is a Virtue.

A well-known Italian diplomatist, who has only recently left London to ex- change his post for more important one, said a couple of years ago that with very few exceptions Italian ministers-as distinct from diplomatists-all feather their nests" or at least endeayor to do so. Consequently when Disraeh, a Guizot, or a Jules Simon dies poor his poverty is not only accounted a wonder but a virtue by almost every French. Italian and Spanish journalist. To the very small number of statesmen of the so-called Latin nations thus distinguished must be added the name of Francesca Crispi. The fact of his demise in pecu- narly straftened circumstances has been so prominently brought forward in France, Italy and Spain as to tempt Eng lish scrfbes still further to emphasize this rare not to say extraordinary, evidence of the honesty of great--or reputed1y great-statesman of quasf-Latin origin.

ALAsAMA's NEW CONSTITUTION

From the Boston Herald.
 | The new constitution prepared for the State of Alabama Is likely to be ratified without serious opposition. The hope of it's opponents was in obtaining the solid vote of the eolored citizens against 1t. with a respectable minority of white citizens dispreased with one or another of its provisions. But the appeal of mem bers of the convention in favor of its ratification Is signed by large number of those who, in the convention, stoutly ob- Jeeted to certain provisions while they were under debate. Their acquiescence in the document as, on the whole, an i'm proven ent on the present constitution is a Encouragement to the whites who de- sired to make a popular campaign against it. Furthermore, the Republican State executive committee, at recent meeting. determined not to make a hostile cam pafgn. It Is said that they are not wholly unwilling to have the negro vote eliminated At any rate. their action will effectually prevent an organized partisan effort to defeat the constitution. There will be votes against 1t. but ratification by an overwhelming majority Is now con- sidered to be assured.

Justice Brewer and Monopoly.

Justice Brewer has made himself almost as notorious as Chicago pro. lessor, and his notoriety came about in ., similar way-through the use of his mouth. He talked too much and too sweepingly. His generalities gilt tered too much in the interest of mo nopoly and capital He declared that ''you cannot stay this. movement to. ward consolidation and centralization It is natural evolution. Injunction against strikers will not stop 1t; leg. islation against trusts will not. At tempting to stay the movement of it's chariot wheels by injunction or by statute is lunacy, compared with which Dame Partington's effort to stop the Atlantic with mop was supreme wis dom." Commenting upon this proposi- ltion, the Chicago Chronicle says:
 'Combinations of capital will not be stopped so long as they promote the gen. eral welfare, because the people will not choose to stop them. Strikes will not be stopped when their cause is Just and the methods employed are not in violation of just law. because the people will not choose to stop them.
 "But if combinations of either capital or labor assail the just interests or the rights of the people, the people will stop Al A 4. xr.. |. the agency of statutes and injunctions if these seem necessary or appropriate, as very likely they will.
 Laws and legal processes are the ap- propriate means, and the only means in civilized society, with which to resist as- saults, whether organized or not, upon the rights and interests of the people.
 Ut does not seem to be a wise thing for a. high judicial officer to represent these necessary means as unavailing against offenders It does not seem wise for such an officer to suggest to the offenders. if any there are. that their movements against the principles of justice and the rights of men are frrestf- ble. and that any attempt to stay them by statutes and processes of courts are 1unacy compared with which Dame Part ington's effort to stop the Atlantic with a mop was supreme wisdom
 Justice Brewer should have said more or less on this subject"
 The Chronicles point as to Justice Brewers assault upon the courts and statutes is well taken. When a judge of the highest court declares courts and statutes powerless before capital istic and monopolistic scombinations, he directly encourages the formation

The Lon That Got Out.

'There was a kind of carnival recently held in a suburb of Nashville. and the chief attraction consisted of four or five performing lions," said James A, Woods of New York, well known in all the South as a travelling salesman of shoes and leather.
 One night the largest and fiercest of the lions got out of his cage and away from his keeper. There was the widest confusion and alarm on the part of the large crowd present, and the keeper fired his blank cartridges at the Hon in vain. Suddenly tall, lank man from the back woods hastily drew revolver yard long and cried to the keeper:
 Stan aside stranger-Ill fix i'm!
 The keeper, frantic with fear of losing his lion valued at 5000, rushed upon the rustic and fairly dragged away his revol- yer, shouting:
 Don't shoot-dont shoot-he's worth three thousand dollarsa
 By this time there was pandemonium in the hon-tent of the carnival, men shouting like mad He's out and women shrieking. He's out;' and then followed wild stampede for the center of the city. The road led across narrow bridge over oreek and the crowd spreading out as 1t fled was stretched as long as a flring-line in battle when the creek was reached; but into the bold stream dashed men and women recklessly, the cold water reaching to heir waists.
 By and by a great many of the people who took a near cut to town came to a high fence, mad with fright, believing the lion was in hot pursuit. One man had his wife with him and when they reached that fence he vauIted over it with the agility of an acrobat, leaving the sharer of his joys and his flight on the Hons side. but he did not forget her that Nashville man did not forget the wife of his bosom in that dread hour of peril-for he lifted up his voice and cried as he sped,
 Ten dollars to the man who'll help my wife over the fenoer
 But that ten dollars was never won: no man had time in that fateful hour to help another mans wife over the fence!
 One man who had skinned up tree and reached a limb about thirty feet above the ground. saw the woman strug- gling on the wrong side of the fence Did you ever see a woman trying to climb fence?-and he shouted to her: Kind lady, you're a dead woman. May the Lord have mercy on your
 HI, there! shouted somebody to the man up tree-"dont you know that A loose lion will climb tree first thing P
 "At this the man released his hold on the limb and fell kerchunk to the g-ound and hobbled off after the mad throng.
 Every man and woman kept shouting. He's out and when the foremost ran panting into the centre of the city the people rushed out and as one man asked what was the matter.
 Hes outl was the wild, despairina answer He's out He's out'-and to this hour Nashille town Is ringing with He's out

Alabama the Best of Lands.

Alabama is a far better country than that immense far Western country that visited" said former Governor Joseph F. Johnston who recently returned from a visit to San Francisco and the Pacific coast generally.
 Most of the land I travelled over de- bends entirely upon irrigation for life of any sort. I believe I must have tray. eled for a thousand miles through what is practically a desert. The aspect oi that country as seen from the car win dows was extremely forbidding and the dust was stifing and appalling.
 Certainly irrigation makes the soil very productive, but that is expensive. and I believe there are vast stretches of country which cannot be irrigated, for there Is no water to be had from any source,
 Alabama is the finest of all lands"

Information Turned to Account.
 There are a couple of words which rarely, or ever, find their way intb the biographs of eminent English states men, whether such books be written be- fore or after their death, says a writer In the Illustrated London News. These words are 'Jobbery" and "corruption'. Nothing surprised Palmerston so much as the Stock Exchange transactions of Talleyrand when he was French ambas- sador at the court of St. James. Those speculations were based upon news gath cred at Downing street, which he trans mitted to his friend Monround, waiting for him out side In his carriage. Monrond drove posthaste to the city, and the trick was done.
 Bismarck recounted with similar aston- ishment not unmixed with disgust, an- alogous combinations on the part of Louis Philippe, who started false rumors of strained relations between this or that foreign government and France which might possibly lead to war. Thereupon. the French funds fell, to resume their normal quotations four-and-twenty hours later, when the fictitious report was of ficially denied; and meanwhile the Citizen King had bagged considerable profit.

 During the making of the constitution there is no doubt but there was a strong sentiment against the instrument, but since Its completion the sentiment has decreased until there is practically no op- position in this section. The people have studied the question in sober, serious manner and have come to honest conclu- sions. The opposition died aborning and has never possessed strength enough to be active. There has not been an oppo- sition speech made in the city.

Exceptions Among the French.

Such things do not arouse surprise In French or Italian ministers. albeit they themselves fould not condescend to such traf1icking. Guisot, who up to the last lived by his literary 1abors when not in uttered many severe and scathing re- marks upon Adolphe Thiers, who was very wealthy long before his death. The wealth was not solely derived from the royalties on his works or from the hoard ed appointments of his office. At no pe- riod of his life was Thiers entirely with out personal or written communication with his stockbroker for more than few days. Yet Guizot never censured those proceedings of his political opponent.
 Morny, the half-brother of Napoleon IT., was as great an adept at "bulling'' and "bearing' as the author of ''The Consulate and the Empire" and list could be made of at least a score of min isters of the Third Napoleon's regin. as well as of the actual regime. who gov erned with one eye fixed on the Quai d'Orsay and the other on the Place de la Bourse Jules Simon, who had to write literally to his dying day in order to keep the wolf from the door, and who lived on a fifth floor on the Place de la Madeline, would as soon have committed a burglary in his own ministry of the interior as to have used his position as a means of increasing his resources by speculatiOns.
