IGNORANCE AND 1MPuDENcE.
Tint Seeks for Converts to
Commcrcialfsna.

That republican organ of the trusts,
the New York Sun, voicing. no doubt,
the general feeling of the "better ele-
ment of society" says:
War upon plutocracy is hopeless.
The democracy will never prevail un-
til ii satisfies the country that the
democrats, not the republican party,
are the friends and instruments of
plutocracy. They must offer more ia
vorable conditions for money making
than the republicans can furnish, or
they will remain indefinitely as poor
in political strength as they are to.
day"
This braZen echo of Wall street is as
ignorant as insolent in thus giving adj
vice to the democracy. The Sun evil
IDENTIFY does not know what democracy
means, or has forgotten it. Many
yearsago, when it was an honest sheet,
it published an essay on the wide gap
between democrats and republicans,
and if the fiippant editor who now
holds rule will refer to it, he may
learn something to his advantage, if
only not to expose his ignorance again.
The Sun now believes that by the bait
of success the democrats should be
willing to forego their principles and
go the republicans one better in their
mad march of commercialism, imperi-
alism and exploitation of the people.
The war upon plutocracy will never
be hopeless while the democracy en-
lists. If for awhile a majority of the
people are led away to worship at the
shrine of plutocracy, and are willing
to pick up the crumbs that fall from
the table of Dives, they will soon find
their mistake.
The rule of the rich cannot be gov
eminent in the interest of the people.
and any party that is "the real friend
and instrument of plutocracy" and
that appeals to the people to support
it is fraud. delusion and a snare that
| only the Sun editor could belong to.
But it is well to have this expos
ure from such high republican au-
thority of what the real purpose and
plans of that party are. Before this
if n democrat accused his opponents
of being in leagne with the pluto
| Gratis he was denounced as dema-
gogue. Now he can cite this high re-
publican authority to prove his asser-
ton.
Despite the Establishments and cor
ruption of the plutocrats there are
yet 100000 democrats that have not
wavered or bowed the knee to the
golden calf they have set up in the
| Wall street wilderness.

YOUTHFUL HEROINES'
Indiana Girls Wave Their Sunbon-
nets and Avert Wreck.
Their Quick Wits Save Fast Train
from Destruction In IL Culvert,
the Trestle Over Which
Had Been Burned.

Edna Keener, aged 12, and Emma
Turnbaugh, aged IA, gallant little
heroines in calico dresses and sunbon-
nets, the other day prevented fast
express train from dashing into a
ditch, with what must have been the
attending heavy loss of life.
The girls are daughters of farmers
living near Anoka, four miles east of
Logansport, Ind. The other after
noon they were gathering flowers in the
fields along the railroad tracks, when
short distance south Of Anoka juno
ton, where the Louisville and Rich
mond divisions of the road join the Lo-
gansport division for Logansport, they
noticed that trestle over small
creek was on fire, the smoldering en-
bers not giving enough smoke to make
warning to an approaching train.
Immediately realizing the danger
and hearing a train coming, which they
thought to be the fast Louisville eX-
press, due at about that hour, they
hurried down the track as fast as they
could run, waving their sunbonnets.
On they sped, thinking only of the
coming train, until at last just before
it rounded a curve in the road, the en-
S1neer saw the waving bonnets of the
little girls and at once applied the air,
bringing his train to stop almost at
the edge of the burned trestle. The
train proved to be the fast freight No.
1s7, in charge of Conductor Hanley.
As soon as the crew realized what
the little girls had done and the wreck
from which they had saved them, they
gathered them up in their arms and
many good hearty hug the little ones
got for their reward, besides all the
loose change the train crew could gath
er together, making snug little purse
for the girls to carry home with them.
The matter was reported to the d.
vision officials, and the brave heroines
will be substantially rewarded for the
act by the company.

MILLIONS YET FOR CHARITY.
Andrew Carnegie Has S2S0.00O,000
Which He VIII Give Away I'm
Public Bencfnctfons.

Andrew Carnegie still has f56,000,-
300 to give away in public benefnc-
tons. says the New York Herald. Mr..
Carnegie himself is authority for this
statement. which he made recently at
Sliibo castle to member of the New
York chamber of commerce commit
tee, who is now in New York city, but
wishes his name kept secret.
Several members of the New York
chamber of commerce delegation
which went to England recently, visit
ed Mr.. Carnegie at Skibo castle, and
with them he discussed his gifts to
the public. He remarked that in the
future he meant to make other dona-
tions more extensive even than here
tofore, Ia public institutions.
According to Mr.. Carnegie, he is
still undecided in what manner to dis
pose of his wealth for the public good.
He wishes the public to obtain the
best results from his future benefac-
tons, and for that reason has not vet
formulated any philanthropic state
ments.
Mr.. Carnegie admitted that free Ii
braries and other educational institu-
tons would undoubtedly obtain por-
ton of the millions in question, in or
der that the plans he had previously
adopted would be fully developed. His
hearers judged from what he said that
he was considering the advisa btlity OF
directing his wealth toward endow-
ing and supporting art galleries, scien-
tific museums and similar institutions.

REMARKABLE REUNION.
err Dead brought Together After
Half n Century's Separation.

A remarkable reunion has been eff
fected between two brothers in Henry
county, Ind, after a separation of
nearly half century, during which
time each thought the other dead.
Barton and Jabez Guyer lived with
their parents in North Carolina. In
1852 Barton left home to make his
way in the world. He went to Texas,
thence to Mexico, finally returning to
Texas, where he located. He wrote
his brother repeatedly, but receiving
no reply to his letters gave him up for
dead. Jabez, never receiving any in
formation from Barton, lost all trace
of him and likewise mourned him as
dead.
Barton enlisted in the confederate
army and served until peace was de-
clared. Jabez later on moved with his
family to Henry county, Ind. Recent
ly relative of the family learned
through conversation with travel
ing salesman of man named Barton
Guyer in Harrisburg, Tex. Core
spondence developed the fact that he
was the long-lost brother.

VIII Not Cause Any change

No change in the conduct of the
two departments of geology and natu-
raj history in the University of Cali
fornia will come as the result of the
death of their former head, Prof. Jo-

be conducted hereafter as separate
departments, each with its own chief.
Associate Prof. William E. Ritter, of
the chair of zoology, will be the head
of the former department of natural
history and Prof. Andrew C. Lawson
will direct the department of geology.

SECRETS OF RECIPROCITY.
Spit OF Republicans on the Tarin
Question Brings Interesting
Revelations.

The controversy that has sprung
up between republicans as to the
merits of protection and reciprocity
Is good reading these days, for when
thieves fall out honest men NAV pet
their dues. The American Economist.
the organ of the ultra protectionists
is laying down the law with a high
hand. 1t is receiving some pretty
heavy raps in return but as long as
the trusts and protected monopolies
put up the money to make the fight,
doubtless the editor of the Economist
enjoys the situation and will hit
every head that comes up to say a
word against its hackers. What
makes the controversy more interest.
ing is that many facts that were
known but were difficult to prove are
now being acknowledged. For in
stance, it was well known that the
republican managers in the senate
were held up by the protected indus
tries affected and so the French and
other reciprocity treaties were not
ratified.
One of these protectionists writing
about the matter makes this plain by
saying: We invited the French gov
eminent to make a reciprocity treaty.
We told them that if they would re-
td lHleee their duties upon some of our
products we would reduce our duties
on some OF theirs. This Invitation
was extended under the authority OF
the Dingley tariff law, and therefore
was the act of congress as well as
that of the executive, but after the
executive had performed his part of
the duty congress repudiated the
whole thing because a few NeY Eng
land manufacturers of knit goods and
pinchbeck jewelry, and few Calf
fornians who are trying to raise
French walnuts, feared that their
products would be reduced.

One of the weekly papers recently

One of the weekly papers recently
printed an article on 'The Ambition
Nh. y,.tn. n, of Kings and it
showed, h gu g b
not apparently
conscious that it had done so, that
practically the same motives inspire
kings as inspire ether people. Among
them are desire for completeness and
desire for larger resources. Am
bition is not simply the infirmity of
noble minds, but it is the infirmity-
if it be an infirmity-of all minds.
The question, tnus, is not whether
man rs ambitious, but whether his
ambition is noble one, and whether
he chooses honorable means to
achieve it. One that strives merely
to be the richest man in his COM
munity must be condemned, not be-
cause he is ambitious, but because
his aim is low and sordid. So it is
with most of the craving for power,
and practically all the strife for rec
ognition by fashionable society. But
the desire to accomplish things is to
be commended. The man who longs
to be honestly useful to his fellows
is good citizen. Even the desire to
excel others in accomplishments, in
professional skill and in general eff
cheney is the prerequisite to social
progress. And back of it all is that
desire for completeness which is said
to be so powerful with kings. The
man who finishes his work, complete
ly, who writes book as though it
were to be his last and the one by
which he might be judged centuries
hence, who does what he is told to
do and great deal more, is an am
bilious man. The question is one of
ideals and tendencies. One can hard
ly pursue good ideal with too great
fervor or intensity. To those who
may say that it is hardly necessary
to preach such gospel as this to the
men of this generation, it may be an
swered that It is always we'll to in
sist on the necessity for honest, COM
plete and whole-hearted work. The
! corrective to the false ambitions that
we see all about us is not to decry
ambition altogether, but to divert it
into right channels, and to make the
most out of the energy that flows
from the desire to conquer or excel.
Power is perhaps the one thing which
most successfully eludes pursuit and
which is most deadly when gained by
too strenuous effort. This is be-
cause in most such cases it is desired
for its own sake or for selfish pur-
poses. The men who want to use t
for the general good do not often
struggle greatly for it. The ambition
of kings is simply the ambition of
humanity on larger and wider
scale.

Illustrated by the recent action Of the
Econom,c., president OF the
Street railway in
New York, who de-
iberately threw away $6,o00,0O0 when
he persuaded that company to change
its motive power from cable to under
ground trolley. This great sum is rep
resented by cables, wheels, machinery
conduits, vaults, etc, which must be
abandoned or go to the scarp heap. AL
though ali this machinery is in good
condition, having been in operation
only ten years, and always kept in q
high state of efficiency, yet the com
pany must sell it for old junk and is
satisfied to do so in consideration of
the improved service and increased
revenue, which will come from the use
OF the underground trolley. The COM
pany makes the change not only be-
cause the traffic justifies it, but be-
cause it is progressive. In this respect
1t seems to differ from the traction
companies in Chicago, which never
make any changes. They use the ma
ferial which should go to the scrap
heap and make their profits out of the
use Of old junk, and probably will con-
tlnue to do SO as long as the public will
endure it,
