The manner in which the multi-million-
aires Of to-day spend money, either in the
way of personal expenditures or as gifts.
sets a new standard in such matters. With
Carnegie spending millions on libraries,
Rockefeller millions on colleges. Morgan
giving a million to Harvard with one hand
and with the other paying fabulous sums
for Gainesborough pictures. rare antiques
and other trifles that please his personal
fancy; with Vanderbilt and Gould palatial
cottages" with costly yachts for toys,
with chefs at $4,000 a year and luncheons
costing 1900 each-such as the late Pierre
Lorillard INDUCED in-with such OUTLAWS
as Americas wealthy men are becoming
noted for. and yet, considering their enor-
nous incomes. without spending extrava-
gantly, all the old scales of measurements
cease to be of value and fade into insignih-
canoe. What does the term 'prlncely"
mean as compared with the financial posi-
bilities of a Morgan, IA Carnegie, a Rookie
Teller? Where was ever a prince who could
spend as they and remain as they. far
within the limits Of his income? What
was King Solomon's wealth or power COM
pared TO that of a modern railroad or oil
or steel ~'magnate?' What was the Count
of Monte Cristo's fortune to the fortunes
OF one of these? a mere nothing. Does
any one believe that Croesus mad d tenth
as much as a Rockefeller? No. a new
scale has been fixed and the old ones be-
come meaningless. 1t behooves even hc-
ton writer's to adjust themselves 20 new
conditions and to rise TO meet IL.

1t is not unfair to say that taxpayers and
all residents of the city who desire an eff
cient and clean management of municipal
affairs are not satisfied with the City Coun-
Gil. Matters of public Importance have not
been taken up and considered with prompt
ness and that broad intelligence which the
affairs of the greatest corporation In the
State would seem TO require. Take the
interurban franchises: 1t has been in the
hands OF the Board of Works and the Coun-
Gil a long time. 1t does not appear to be a
difficult problem to solve, yet settlement
has been deferred from time TO time until
it is quite common talk that it is held up
by officials who are waiting TO be seem
by the financial agents of the corporations
in interest. This is not a nice thing to say.
but IL is not necessary to consult many
citizens to find that this damaging sus-
picion is widespread. The Journal hopes
there is no ground for suspicious which
delays like that over the interurban fran
chise have created. 1t prefers to believe
that shortcomings are due to the mex
p~erience of many of the members of the
Council with large public interests. That
men of inexperience are selected is not
their fault. since the custom of years has
created the sentiment that any man who
aspires TO ii has the ability to deal with
the large problems of city management.
1t is nothing against the character of any
man now in the Council to say that an
effort should be made 10 secure more men
for that body who have a repufation for
business experience and ability.

The probability that no penalty can be
imposed in the insanity inquest cases at all
commensurate with the crime of depriving
persons of their liberty and sending them
10 an asylum for insane, without even
probable cause. emphasizes a defect In our
criminal laws. The crime referred to is
much more serious than any crime against
property. yet adequate penalties are pro-
vided for the latter. However. If no other
punishment can be inflicted the promoters
of the infamous business can be made to
feel the weight Of public censure.

which leaves the question Of wages, the
strikers to be taken back and the dis

strikers places, to be decided. The
union men have dismissed the con-

strike so far has cost the Allis-Chal-

$50 900 in carrying on the fight, to say
