Applications for space now aggre-
gate about $4,000 square feet, where
as about two-thirds of this space is all
that is available. "These applicati ons,"
says superintendent Day, cover many
industries and many states, besides
the fine exhibit from Canada, includ-
ing the new and interesting precious
metal deposits of Ontario, British CO.
lumbia and the Klondike region. On
the other hand, South America will
also be well represented, with large
collective exhibit of the mineral indus
tries of Peru, Brazil and Chilli, as well
as other countries having minor, but
interesting, displays"
The United States exhibit will be
magnificent one, and in some respects
it will surpass any yet made. For
instance, the mineral resources of the
Great Lake region, particularly the
great iron ore deposits of Lake Su-
perior and the transportation and util-

ports, especially Buffalo, will be ade-

Practically the entire mining exhibit
made by the United States commits

back from Paris to the Pan-American
exposition. Included in this exhibit
is a magnificent suite of gold and sill

inest specimen of native gold ever
taken from the earth, which come
from California. A complete series of
all the mineral species found in the
United States, according to Dana's

exhibit. and to these will be added spe.

RoCKEFELLER ON GIVING.

Mr.. John D. Rockefeller addressed his
sons Bible class of the Fifth Avenue
Baptist Church New York city, the other
day on the ethics of giving. Mr. Rookie
Teller is in a position to know his sub
iect with an immense fortune-one OF
the greatest in the world-it has been his
privilege to study the question Of giving
from the standpoint of the man who can
afford 40 dispense largess at pleasure,
without making personal sacrifices. That
viewpoint. of course. is vastly different
from the one occupied by the person who
must take into close account whatever Is
given TO the church or charity, or edu-
cation, in order 40 make income and out
go balance. The giver like Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter can be a philosopher. treating the sub
iect in the abstract and upon a broad
basis. But the deductions Of the philos-
ophy of the millionaire giver are
not always unassaiable. Mr.. Rockefeller
ATTACHES a condition to most of his gifts
requiring the raising of a similar amount
from other sources before his gift be-
comes available. This, he explains, is for
the purpose OF making others give. Mr..
Carnegie follows similar lines in his gifts
for libraries. But II occurs in some in
stances that the condition imposes hard
ship upon the proposed benehciaries.
Persons who can ill-afford 40 give sub
scribe TO funds in order to secure the
milionaire's donations and communities
that are already heavily taxed add more
taxes upon their property in order TO Sc
cure the libraries. If the plan OF giving
to make Others give could be so arranged
as to strike only those of large means, il
would be ideal; but, unfortunately, II can
not-at least, It has not yet been brought
to that state Of perfection
Mr.. Rockefeller told the Bible Glass that
he believed we were all in the world TO
receive and to give for the benefit Of
others, receiving information. property
whateyer we may receive and appropriate

for the benefit of other people" But
he did not approve of giving on the plan
of the old-fashioned donation party
when people came and ate each other
out of house and home, and left, per
hsps dried apples" This illustration will
be appreciated, no doubt, by many preach
ers who have been the victims of donation
parties
Incidental to his talk, and with an apol-
ogy for a personal reference. Mr.. Rookie
Teller said that in the last thirty years
he and his associates in business had paid
out between 100000, 600 and $780,,
100000 in wages to their employees. And
that" he said Il regard as the best kind
of giving. 1 believe that the gift than
which no other is more valuable is the
gift of honest labor-giving a man
steady work" In which premises
Mr.. Rockefeller IS not altogether
right. There was no charity or giving"
in the paying of wages to employees.
working people rendered service for his
money, and a profit to the employer be-
sides. 1t has been estimated that on an
average the working man receives in
wages about 20 per cent. of the value OF
the thing which he produces, leaving so
per cent. to be devided between the cost
of raw material and profit. The immense
earning capacity of Mr.. Rockefeller's en-
terprises. especially the Standard Oil
Company, shows that the profits have
been quite a considerable proportion of
the receipts. 1t is. therefore, erroneous
to say, or to intimate, that wages paid
to working men for their services are
in the nature of giving" There is little
If any charity in business" and Mr..
Rockefeller takes pleasure in the fact
that he is plain business man." Mean
while, it is not to be lost sight of that

avenues of employment to those who
could not open them for themselves are

THE DEMoCRATIC DoNKEy,

The elephant and the donkey have be-
come fixed American political emblems.
Everybody knows what they stand for.
The elephant Immediately suggests the
G. o. p. of thick hide and cunning brain.
and the donkey the patient, strong. demo-
cratic party of the opposition. What was
the origin of the adoption of these ami
NAL pictures as political party representa-
tives? Nobody seems to know, clearly
The idea appears to have 'just growed"
from suggestions in caricatures. In one
of the New York comic weeklies about
the year 1870 several of the Republican
leaders of the day were shown riding
around circus ring on the back of an
elephant labeled Republican party" An
other caricaturist similarly mounted
other Republican leaders, and pretty soon
it got to be recognized as the correct
thing for members of that party to ride
on the backs of elephants, in the pictures.
Thus after time the party itself took
on the shape of an elephant in the minds
OF the picture makers; and it has ever
since been an elephant-often a white
eleDnaDt-ln national politics.
The donkey's arrived in the political
arena was somewhat similar, though ten
years earlier. About 1860 there appeared
in Chicago a small political pamphlet in
which was shown picture of Stephen A.
Douglas riding upon the back of long
cared little animal labeled Democracy"
Both the pamphlet and the picture were
derislve. The purpose was to Indicate that
the Democracy lis a ass" as one of
Dickens characters remarked with re-
spect to the law The idea took with the
opponents Of the Democracy, and Demo-
Gratis were set upon donkeys. as Republic
cans later were mounted on elephants.
And after a while it came about that the
donkey, like the elephant. became the
party's pictorial representative.
At first the Democratic donkey was to
be seen only in Republican prints, which
sought to convey the impression that the
Democratic party was one OF stupidity.
But gradually the prejudice against the
patient and forbearing little animal wore
out. and Democratic papers accepted the
donkey as a good Democrat. lie has

THE NrLAURIS MOVEMENT.

Mr. Bryan deals with the Charlotte
speech of Senator McLaurin in more
serious vein than it has been dealt with
generally by Democratic papers in
various parts of the country. He says
it marks the beginning of movement
in the South, which will have an inf1u-
ence upon the politics of the nation"
Mr. Bryan has no further use for Sem
ator McLAurin. He declares that the
Senator has deserted the Democracy and
joined the administration. and is there
fore entitled to front seat among the
eorganizers-meaning of course those
who insist upon recognizing the Demo-
cratic party.
Mr.. Bryan, however, finds some salts
faction in the thought that if success at
tends the effort to establish a white Re
publican party in the South. the party
will not be. strong enough at any point
to overcome the Democratic party. but
the effect of such party may be to divide
the colored vote OF the North and bring
into the ranks of the Democracy of that
section those Republicans who have been
able to give no better reason for remain
ing with their party than that the South
was solidly Democratic.
The hopeful view taken Of the situation
| by Mr.. Bryan may have the effect of
comforting those Democrats who think
that If Senator McLaurin should serious
| ly undertake to set up white Republi-
can party in the South he would be so
successful that the South would soon
cease to be solidly Democratic but here
in the South there is no apprehension
that the McLaurdn movement will have a
| disturbing effect of serious proportions.
Even those who have very great regard
for Mr. Mckinley personally, and APP
| prove some of the features of his admin
istration, have no intention whatever of
joining his party. The Democratic party
is satisfactory to the South
