The Coming Problem.

A few weeks ago The STAR re-
ferred editorially to the fact that
wealthy people of this country
ought TO at least assist the poorer
deserving classes in education in
order to do away with that certain
state of discomfort between the
wealthy and the poor classes, which
is bound to manifest itself in any
country where large fortunes are
made within a few years. We
made reference also to an address
that Ex-Mayor Hewett, of New
York, gave before the Educational
Alliance of that city.
The point We emphasized was
that commercialism, which is a
prominent and growing feature of
Americans, tends to create selfish
ness, which causes discomfort of
the masses, and the problem that
will confront this country during
the first decade or so of the new
century will be how TO allay this
discomfort.
A few days ago Ex-Mayor Hew-
lit, of New York, complained that
the rich were growing more selfish
as they grew richer, and tbat they
were not nearly SO ready to assist
the poor as had been the rich men
of a generation or so ago. AS the
great fortunes have become greater
the poverty of the poor of the
great cities has become more pro-
nounced. How long will it be be-
fore the discomfort of the tOilers
will reach point where the ballot
will be used in a war on wealth?
Il may be pointed out that in
England the rich have gone on &C
cumulating wealth for centuries,

while poverty has been acute, with
out provoking any great antago-
nism to the rich, but there has
never been in England such rapid
accumulation of wealth as there
has been in recent years in this
country. Science has unlocked
the treasure house of nature and
the number of millionaires has
increased rapidly. And they are
combining their capital and in
creasing their millions. At the
same time they are not, as rule,
using a fair share of their wealth
to benefit their fellow man. On
the contrary, they refuse to bear
their share of the burdens of gov
eminent or TO use their wealth to
better the condition of those who
are honestly struggling in adversi-
ty. The gap between the great
fortunes and extreme poverty will
grow wider unless something Is
done to prevent it, and as it grows
wider the sounds of discomfort will
become more distinct.
Commercialism has a tendency
to cause the wealthier classes to
try to evade obligations that they
should discharge to society. To
overcome this state, which grows
on men unawares to even them
selves, is the problem that is aris-
ing, and its Importance cannot be
by those who are
attention to it. 1t will
have to be met, and every year of
the new century will manifest the
absolute necessity for its solution.

TESLA, the electrical expert,
makes his bow to the new century,
and says he will shortly surprise it
with an outline and description of
a new scientific discovery which
viii open a vast field. 1t touches,
he says, on scientific points that
have hitherto been deemed mac
cessible. The discovery, he further
says, is one Of the most startling
and important that has ever been
made known in connection with
electricity. Mr.. Tesla always has
something up his sleeve with
which to astonish the natives, but
somehow or other he generally
keeps it there.

Is the new century to give us
the long-sought "elixir of life?"
Following the declaration of the
Chicago doctors that they have
discovered that il is salt that makes
the heart beat, there comes the as
sertion by st. Joseph, Mo, cleo
trician that he has succeeded in re-
storing life to a cat that had been
shocked to death, by reversing the
current, and an interview with a
Paris doctor in which he states
that he has found glycero-phos-
phate of soda to be most effective
stimulant of the heart. There isn't
much reason to hope for the dis
covery of the secret of perpetual
youth, or the philosophers stone,
even in this new century, which is
destined TO be marked with great
achievements.

THE WHITE MAN,S BURDEN.

| Oh those ungrateful Cubans! It is
 not surprising to read that practically
 every official of the administration,
 from President Mckinley down, is l thoroughly disgusted with the attitude
 assumed by the members of the Cuban
 convention, and their total disregard of
 the United States in framing their new
 constitution. The anti-Cuban feeling in
 congress is growing stronger every day,
 and it is now confidently asserted by some of the leading members of the Senate that the constitution, as adopted
 by the Cubans will never receive the approval of this country. A member of the Cabinet said to the Washington correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle: The Cubans have learned new Ameri- can word. It is taken from the express sion used by the horse-leech's daugh- ter, and is Give, give give' The Cubans seem to be absolutely without any SGISC UL 5ldLlluuc, dIlu HUN lU LllS country only for favors They have long since forgotten that we delivered them from the oppression of Spain, that we expended blood and treasure to bring their country to the state of peace and order which it enjoys to- day; in fact, that we are responsible for everything Cuba, as country, has to be thankful for.

THE COLL4PSE 4 PLOT.

Failure! fiasco! flzzle! are written all over the effort to induce the New Ha- ven County bar to make itself into a
 political caucus and be the catspaw | for certain hungry ones. Those hungry
 ones are now chewing theS bitter and
 illnutritious cud of disappointment in 1 the Vale of Regret. And they are con-
 cealing themselves as well as they can from the gaze of an amused and rather
 unfeeling public, They despair of purifying the bench" by seating them selves on it, and they feel sure that the republic is in a bad way. What their
 next move to strengthen it's founda-
 tions by providing themselves with of
 flee will be remains to be seen. but it
 will doubtless equal in keen sagacity
 lofty dignity and civic virtue their plot
 against Judge Cable which has come to
 such an ignominious end.
 MT. Hotchkiss seems to feel that he
 has been "buncoed." He was put for
 ward as the standard bearer, and when the fight became warm and dangerous
 he was coolly deserted by those who
 had made him feel that he was destined to lead .hem to victory. But he is not the first one to find that plotters are not always brave, or even honorable. He is left on "a peak of error," and his position is so uncomfortable that he might almost be said to be impaled. He announces that he is going to Hartford to tell the Committee on Ju- dicial Nominations just what happened to him and his cause, and set himself as right with the committee as he can. He has been asked to give the names of those who got him into the scrape, but he is more loyal to them than they are to him, and has thus far refused to expose them. If he should change his mind the list would be extremely inter- esting.

He never should have had any, and he never would have had but for the sly savagery of some of those whom he de- feated in fair fight They seized upon the opinion of the Supreme court in the Sanger case, and labored hard to dis tort that opinion to Judge Cables in- jury. MT. Andrews, the Supreme court reporter, said the other day that he thought the incident had been magni- fled beyond its real value. It has been, and 1t has turned out not to have much real value in it for the cowardly con- spirators who hoped to find office for in it.
