cago. MT. Gates, tco, has a system. He lately explained the outlines of it to the American public in most enter taining fashion. MT. Gates talents, however, are more diversified than the Earl's. He does not make a speciality of roulette, though it does not seem likely he would take moral grounds against stalking his money on the black and red If the truth were known, he probably considers the wheel too mechanical contrivance. His alleg- lance to the sport of betting is divided between poker and the stock market, with occasional spectacular plunges at the race track
 MT. Gates takes no pains to conceal his pride in his successful playing. of games of chance. He has told how he is instructing the young Gateses of the male line to play his system. Being in- terested in the inGtruction of youth. he would doubtless find pleasure in be- slowing iatherly advice upon so prom ising a pupil as the Earl of Rosslyn. The latter's gambling instinct is eX- traordinarily well developed. If given the advantage of a short course under Nr. Gates, he might yet acquire the broad and dashing style of play and eventually blossom into a master of high finance, reserving roulette and poker for the beguilement of his hours of leisure.

Five million dollars will be expended in terminal improvements by the rail roads entering St. Louis in anticipation of worlds fair business. All the roads entering the city use one great passen- ger station which covers eleven acres and stertches from Eighteenth to Twentieth streets. The extension will carry it at least another block to the westward and in place of the thirty-two terminal tracks, at present, there will be about fifty. Twenty-two great railways now use the station.

BRAKEMAN TO MILLIONAIRE.

Henry G. Davis, formerly United States senator from West Virginia, does not figure as often in the news of the day as he once did, but that does HOI mean that lie is not taking q large hand in the great matters of business and politics. He began life as q brake man on the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road and got his start. Then, when he had enough money to branch out. he bought 1S,0G0 acres of West Virginia wilderness for few cents an acre. Extensive coal deposits were found and the timber yielded large profits. He built the West Virginia Central railroad, and superintended the whole work. so that the workmen said of hin: that he knew every nail that was used. This wilderness now has large towns and many industries. Some years ago the road reached a certain point and stopped It was evident that an im- portant projection would be made. A young man went to Senator Davis and said:
 Senator, suppose you knew a worthy young person who had laid by a littIe money for investment, and you also knew where the towns were tc be lc- cated upon the new line, what would you, 6C?"

He had played, and lost, at the Saratoga races, laying his minted Rhine gold on some beast whose name and pedigree were fortissimo enough but whose legs were piu lento. not to say largo.

The Earl of Ros.Iyn,. chano.

The young Earl of Ros5lyn, who has come over to the United States to win a "pasteboard crown." is still as conf dent ae ever in his gambling system. It has been reported that when he re- gently attempted to apply his method at Monaco he met with worse than in- different success. That however, he insists, does not affect the merits of his system. which he is prepared to demonstrate is mathematically correct. 1; so far unproductive of wealth for its noble inventor.

NO NATIONALITY IN ART.

A narrow-minded and shortsighted selfhshness is the
most notable characteristic of the movement begun by
the Belgian press to restrict the competition in the an
nual contest of the Brussels Royal Conservatory OF
Music to BelgianS in future.
This Movement has been provoked by the fact
that a young American viollnist, Francis
of Ohio, has just Won the first prize in the 1902 con-
test, winning as well, the Van Haler prize OF 52S
francs. The jury OF award declares that NJ
showed the greatest distinction in his art, and the
critics are united in characterizing the young man as
an exceptional player.
The. Brussels Royal Conservatory of Music receives
pupils from all parts Of the world. Its animating i'm
pulse is naturally supposed to be the continued de-
velopment Of the art Of music. There is no na-
tionality in art. There must be no drawing Of racial
lines in the worlds great art competitions. The Bel
gian newspapers are making the mistake Of assuming
that the Brussels Royal Conservatory of Music exists
for the glorifcation Of Belgians. This view would be
fatal TO the Conservatory's usefulness If permitted TO
control official action in the management of the insti-
tuition.

A KING AND HIS PEOPLE.

After all, 1t would seem, a King in his own royal
donninions Is just about as s%olcitous for the esteem
Of the people as any politician in a free country where
government Of the people by the people for the people
takes the place Of the older system based on the "di-
vine right" idea Of rulership.
This truth has been almost patheticaIy Illustrated
In the developments attendant upon the illness of
King Edward VII Of England. The most poignant
regret of Edward has been that the English people
were deprived OF the spectacle Of the coronation and
Of the ~meErymaking proposed for that occasion. Win
they ever forgive meF' he is reported as saying to
those about him, even as he lay in the very valley Of
the shadow of death.
And, in his convalescence, the sincerest pleasure
that has come to him was due to proofs of the peo-
pies esteem. When the Queen reviewed the colonial
troops marching past Buckingham Palace, the sound
of their cheering penetrated the Kings sick-room.
81 was immensely pleased" the cable reports tell
us. He had manifested the deepest interest in the ar
engagements for the review of the colonials, followed
a day later by q similar review Of the Indian troops.
He felt that, by means of these pageants, the peo-
pie were in a measure compensated for their disap-
potntment because of the postponement Of the corona
ton. The cheering of the troops and populace when
Queen Alexandra took her station to review the former
testified to the peoples satisfaction.

Z. Congressman Benton's showing of figures to the eff
feet that the first session Of the Fifty-seventh Con-
gress has appropriated already more than the total of
both sessions Of the Fffty-third, or last Democratic.
Congress, Will be inteligently noted by the general
public.
There is no phenomenal increase In population TO
justify this increase in the expense of government,
no war In the Philippines, no demand from the COM
mercial interests Of the country. -Yet the figures stand
for analysis by the p~eople-$LO59,577 ,O52 appropriated
by the first session of the Fiftyseventh. Congress,
against S91T, o13,5 23 by both sessions of the Fiftythird
Congress.
This objectlesson Of Republican extravagance is
made more unsatisfactory by the record of the Repub-
hcan refusal to enact any notable legislation in the
peoples behalf during the biIlion-dollar first session
of the Fiftyseventh Congress. There has been
prompt and favorable action upon the bills introduced
fer trust benefit, and upon measures tending to
strengthen the hold of the Republican party upon the
spoils Of Office, but nothing has been done for the peo-
pie. The Republican majority In Congress successfully
prevented the enactment Of legislation restricting the
evil power Of the trusts. No action towards tariff re-
duction was permitted. The party of the trusts has
stood solidly with the trusts against tie people.
Yet Il Is the people who must pay out the billion
dollars and more so lavishly appropriated by this
taxpayers, whose interests received no consideration
at the hands Of the Republican majority. 1t seems to
be the Republican idea that this is what the people
are for-to pay the expenses of a government admin
istered exclusively for trust beneft-and that the peo-
pies participation in such government begins and
ends with the paying Of the bills. The taxpayers Of
this country should take to heart the significant teach
ing Of the record of the first session of the Fifty sew
enth Congress.

TRUST PROFIT PAID BY THE PEOPLE.

TRUST PROFIT II BY THE PEOPLE.
Contemplating the figures Of the amazing profits Of
the Steel Trust for the past three months, some sST,-
Col, 500. the Philadelphia Bulletin. an independent Re
publican newspaper. ~confesses that this raises the
question whether the time has not come for q reduc-
ton in the tariff on iron and steel.
The Bulletin makes a very frank analysis Of the
significance OF the situation. II points ont that the
most recent three months earnings of the Steel Trust
Indicate that the annual profits of the concern VIII be
only a trife below $150OOO.OO0. or about half a million
for every working day of the whole twelve months.
This exhibit of enormous and unparalleled profits log
ically demands tariff reduction. THE query" says
the Bulletin, why the public should be forced to pay
prices which give the combination n surplus over
operating expenses Of some S~3.OOO.O0O n week is likely
10 be pressed with increasing earnestness in the In
terval before the next assembage of Congress"
This truth is so obvious that the stubborn blindness
Of the Republican party TO the duty of the hour is as
t%oniShing. unless accounted for by the fact that the
Republican party is so absolutely dominated and con-
trolled by the trusts that it dare not look the truth in
the face nor make any attempt whatever to act upon
the truth.
Is it to be conceded for a moment that the Ameri-
can people are longer 10 be fooled with the argument
of protection being necessary for the Steel Trust and
other trusts? Do they not see that the profit of half a
million dollars a day made by the Steel Trust comes
directly out of their pockets? Do they not know that
The Steel Trusts products are sold cheaper in foreign
than in American markets? Do they not understand
that this gigantic oyercharging Of American consnm-
ers would be impossible but for the operation of the
tariff? And is il TO be supposed that the people are
now so foolish, knowing the full truth, as 10 longer rest
content under the oppressive weight of the trusts and
the high tariff?
The Republican machine leaders who have so
sternly forbid tariff tinkering" and have held the Re-
publican majority solidly in line for the trusts
throughout the entire first session Of the Fifty-seventh
Congress have made the costiest mistake Of their po-
litical careers. The time has come when the people
are resolved to act in self-defense in this matter of the
trusts and the tariff, and wise leadership would have.
at the least. postponed Republican disaster. Now.
however, with such a showing of trust profits as is
made by the Steel Trust, and with the showing Of IN
varying obedience TO trust Commands made by :he
Fifty-seventh Congress, the Republican party is
doomed to defeat.
