WHY NOT GOETHE?

Ever since the subject Of the presen-
tatlon to this country by Emperor
William, Of a statue Of his great an
cestor, came up for discussion, the
opinions as to the propriety Of accept.
ing the gift have been divided,
a correspondent Of the New York
Evening Post, speaks for a considerable
portion OF the American public, when
he says that there Is no room In this
country for statues Of kings or en-
perors, may they have been ever so
friendly with the United States And
the argument presented in the following
question is hard to answer. with
what grace win future Presidents re-
fuse similar gifts Of Alexander VIII
liam, Nicholas, Napoleon, all Of whom
were friendly with the United States
at one time or other|
II the German Emperor desires, In
the way proposed, TO express HIS
friendly appreciation Of this country he
can do so by giving us a statue about
the propriety OF which there can be no
difference Of opinion. The Emperor has
shown his talent for deylslng symbols,
IN the great symbolcal painting he
drew some years ago, representing Eu-
rope menaced by Asiatic barbarsm.
Could he not suggest a symbolical
sculpture and give that to this coun-
try2 Or II he is too busy for such
work, why would not a statue Of
Goethe, or some other German, who
has acquired fame in the intellectual
world, be more proper gift to this
country than a warrior, who, It Is well
known, thought but little Of the new
republic? The gift should be one which
all Americans can appreciate, The
statue Of liberty, given by France Is
precedent In that line,

NJ least the luxury Of freedom from care
and responsibility. Class distinctions
are bad everywhere, but they are never
worse THAI In free country, where
all claim equal rights.
AS long as times are good and wages
sufficient TO meet to some extent the
cravings for sumptuous meals, rich
clothing and hnery and an endless
chain Of purse-dralning amusements at
theaters and resorts, all viii move
smoothly though the under-paid clerk
and laborer VIII feel at times the bur
den heavy on his shoulders. But good
times are not everlasting, With
scarcity Of employment, empty larders,
perhaps debt adding misery to the sit
uation, the people become restless,
ready for revolutions. That is not an
imaginary danger Of the lavish display
Of luxury by the few, In the face Of
their equals who are surrounded by
poverty. II was just that condition
that preclpltated the French revolution,
and It would not be bad for the rest Of
the world to take that lesson to heart,

While the decision OF Judge Hall does

has followed the proceedings win rec
ognize the fact that II completely ex-
onerates him.
Indeed, that was accomplished by the
evidence. The statements made by the
defense were clearly shown to be in
correct, to use very mild term, and II
Is only due to Justice Bartch 20 say
that he comes out OF the examination,

WEALTH AND DISPLAY.

Mr. Carnegie Is Of the opinion that

This is probably true. The luxurles Of
life have become so abundant and,
comparatively speaking, so cheap, that
those who have the desire to do 40. can
always make display out OF all pro-
portion to their actual wealth, and thus
procure a reputation.

OF Alnslees Magazine shows that there

perty to the value OF $4,000 or more.
But some Of these are immensely rich.
since the aggregate value Of their for
tunes amounts to Sj2OOo,O0OOOO. Then
there are 13.5i6sOO families. whose
earthly possessions are less than $500.
and nearly 20OOO 600 families who own all
the way from $500 to $4,000. This is
a remarkably uneven distribution OF
this worlds goods. for country In

well known that the last months OF MS

that may at times have placed his per-
