TWO SIDES TO THE CASE.

There was at first manifested a dis
position in some Of the American
newspapers TO condemn the officers of
the cruiser Chicago who were arrested
in Venice recently, on the charge of
disturbing the peace and resisting the
police and thrown into the common
Jail. They were tried and sentenced to
several months in prison, but were al
most Immediately pardoned by the
King of Italy. OF course. that does not
end the incident. The officers will have
to submit to a court of inquiry com
posed of officers of the Chicago.
An Englishman has written a letter
to the New York Herald in which he
says that he was an eye witness to the
whole affair, and that the officers we're
not at fault. 1t seems that in Venice
there is a feeling of hostility to. Ameri-
cans, and it is probable that this feel
ing exists all over Italy, not among
the educated people, but among the
class who attacked the American Off
GERS in Venice. This feeling is due to
the fact that several Italians have been
lynched in various parts of this coun-
try. The last lynching of this kind
was in Louisiana.
On another occasion, when the late
Mr.. Blaine was Secretary of State. a
number of Italians were lynched, and
this country paid an indemnity to their
families.
The Englishman in his letter to the
Herald says that one of the officers
accidentally overturned the table. at
which he was sitting in a cafe. A
crowd of cafe loafers at once gathered
about him and began to offer insulting
remarks. Other officers of the Chicago
came up and also one of the marines
of the cruiser. The crowd insisted that
the police should arrest the officers and
marine. This the police refused to do.
on the ground that no offense had been
comtmitted. The crowd then attacked
the Americans, and a fight ensued, in
which a number of the cafe loafers
were hurt Finally the Americans
were arrested and carried before
court The judge treated them harsh
ly, not caring apparently to inquire
into the facts.
According to the Englishman's ac-
count of the affair the real motive
of the harsh treatment of the Ameri-
cans was the lynching of Italians in
this country. The cafe loafers were
moved to act as they did by a spirit
of revenge. They doubtless thought
that the whole American people We're
concerned in the lynching of their
countrymen. In this particular in
stance the effect of the lynching of the
Italians was far reaching. 1t teaches
that it is better to let the law take its
course. Justice, when administered by
the courts, may sometimes be little
slow, but when so administered 1t
leaves no feeling of vengeance and Is
not productive of vendettas or feuds.

THE PASSING OF M,LAURIN.

In the papers of South Carolina 1t is
not difficult to find the opinion ex-
pressed that the career of Senator
Mcl.aurin as a Democrat is about end
ed in that state. His announcement
that he will not abide by the
state Democratic primary practically
amounts to an admission that he has
no chance of being sent back to the
Senate.
OF course he has a following in South
Carolina, but it is not sufficiently
strong to justify him in expecting a
reelection to the Senate. Senator
Tillman has outgeneraled him; has. in
fact, eliminated him from the political
situation. There are those in South
Carolina who seem to think that Sem
ator McLaurin will eventually land in
the Republican party, AS Republi-
can it is probable that he could mus
ter greater support than he could as
a Democrat.
There is some speculation as to
whether the President will give him a
federal Office in South Carolina at the
end of his senatorial term. or course
there is nothing on which to base an
| opinion as to whether he has reason
to expect anything from the President
or whether he would accept position
under a Republican administration. He
is not dependent of course upon an Of
flee for living. He is an able law
yer, and doubtless he would have but
| little difficulty in getting a good prac-
! tice if he should return to his profess
sion.
! Senator Tillman says that there will
! be no lack of candidates for the place
in the Senate which Senator McLaurin
holds-candidates who will willingly
take the oath which is prescribed in
| the new primary rules. There is OF
course no doubt about that. And II
is probable that Senator Tillman will
be able TO name Senator McLaurin' S
successor. He still maintains a firm
grip on the political situation in South
! Carolina.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
Dem) says: 1T is said that Roose-
welt has nominated H. Clay Evans for
consul general to London, in the be-
lief that the Senate will turn down the
nomination. Thus Roosevelt will get
rid of a man whom he doesn't want,
and the Senate will bear the odium of
preventing Mr.. Evans promotion. 1t
is just possible, however, that the Sen
ate may decline to fall into the trap,
and may confirm the nomination. We
shall see what we shall see.'
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.) says:
at is unfortunate for the country, and
still more so for the Republican party,
that the debate in the Senate on the
Philippine bill has taken a partisan
turn. The Democrats have succeeded
in putting the admnistrat ton on the
defensive and the Republicans must
defend it before the world. In such an
enterprise the government should not
need to be defended; it's political an
tagonists should have no chance to ac-
cuse it of any misconduct"
The Charleston Post Dem.) says:
For months it has been apparent that
McLaurin's day of popular activity in
South Carolina was passed. Hence
forth whatever he is or does will be
through the administration at Wash
ington. as long as that shall be Re-
publican. In the distribution of fed
eral patronage in this state he will
doubtless continue as adviser but as
far as the general political interest is
concerned he Will have no active place.
His movement. as his, is ended"
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem) says:
Under our present cabinet system the
American people have no authority
over the federal departments. While
there ought to be perfect independence
for the executive to the utmost limit
prescribed by our constitution, there
ought to be also a channel through
which the people can exercise consti-
tutional veto upon department admin
istration. Grave national discredit
would have been averted, for instance,
had the Secretary Of the Navy been
required to explain and defend his
course since President Roosevelt as
sumed Office

wouldst thou upbuild a home where
sweet wild lives are nestled,
Glad with the sound of song, quick
with the flash of wings;
Where the soft broods may rock, warm
housed and unmolested,
Deep in the leafy hooks, through all
the changeful springs?
Or wouldst thou rear an arch of no
blest grace and splendor.
Lifted in aid and light, shaped by
the sun and storm,
Moved by the wandering wing, swayed
by each influence tender,
Yet by the hand of life moulded to
steadfast form?
Wouldst thou make day more fair. and
and night more rich and holy,
Winter more keenly bright, and sum-
mers self more dear
Grant the sweet earth a gift, deep
rooted, ripening slowly,
Add to the sum of joys that bless the
rounded year.
Go. then, and plant a tree. lovely in
sun and shadow,
Gracious in every kind-maple and
oak and pine,
Peace of the forest glade, wealth of the
fruitful meadow,
Blessingly of dew and shade, here
after shall be thine!
For though thou never see the joy thy
hand hath granted,
Those who shall follow thee thy gen.
erous boon may share.
Thou shalt be Natures child who her
best fruit hath planted.
And each of many spring shall fine
thy gift more fair.

MIR. CARNEG1E's GIFTS.

Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
Carnegie his given away pretty nearly
SOS, 900, 900 since he began the distri-
button Of his wealth it is doubtful If
he has disposed of much more than
his income. OF course he has given
away more than his income during the
last two or three years, because his
donations, during the six months OF
his recent stay in this country,
amounted to more than $20,000,O00. But
il must not be forgotten that he has
been making donations for Libraries
and various other purposes for dozen
years or more.
These donations number over 500, and
they range from $500 to $10,O00,000. The
three largest gifts are 100000 900 to the
Universities of Scotland $4,000, 600 to
the University at Washington D. c.
and 5000 600 to the Educational AL
lance of New York City for lib
raries.
The exact amount of his gifts is
SCI, 304, 423, distributed as fullows;
United States, $50, ,678; Scotland,
$13,O7s, $50; Canada, $S76, 500; Cuba, $685.,
OOO England, s42O 900; Ireland, $65,5O0
and miscellaneous gifts in Great Brit
ain, s25O,oO0.
OF course New York and Pennsyl-
vania have Jared better than any other
states. All of the states, however.
have received something except Rhode
Island Delaware, South Carolina,
|
Georgia got $175,OOO of which Atlanta
received S145, 900, and Florida is a bene-
| ficiary to the amount of 100000.
| It would be idle of course to specu-
late as to Mr. Carnegie's intentions in
respect to future gifts. 1t is probable,
| however, that it is his intention to con-
| tlnue to distribute his wealth. His in
come must be more than $1O,OO0,O 900
year, and hence his fortune is increas-
| ing at rapid rate. If he lives ten
years longer he will be able to distrl-
butte $6S,O00, 900 more without seriously
! diminishing his fortune.
More great fortunes have been made
in this country in the last fifty years
than at any previous time. 1t is a
frequent saying that the opportunities
for making fortunes have passed. That
| is a mistake. The opportunities are
greater now than ever. The ways of
making fortunes now may be differ
ent from those of a half a century ago.
| Then the prevailing idea was to buy
! land and depend upon its increase IN
value for wealth. The great fortunes
row are in personal property and are
made in business.
The great meat packers of the West
who are just now much talked about
because of the meat trust, have made
their wealth in the last 40 years. 1t
is said that Phil Armour, the founder
of the Armour Packing Company, began
life as a farm laborer. He left a for
tune of $4,000, 600. Nelson Norris
another of the great meat packers, and
who is said to be worth $40, 0OO. O0O came
to this country in the steerage and be-
gan as a hog driver. The Cudahy
brothers, who are estimated to be
worth SOS, 600 900. were, at one time.
day laborers. There are plenty of op-
portunities to make great fortunes
| nowadays.

parently feels that he is now at lib
erty to talk as much as he pleases re-
specting events during his occupancy
of place in the cabinet One of the
first things he did after arriving at his
home in Massachusetts the other day
was to take a parting shot at Admiral
Schley. He was asked what incident
of his official career impressed him
most. He replied that it was prob
ably the dark day for the United
States when Commodore Schley began
his retrograde movement from thirty
odd miles off Santiago towards Key
West, at a time when he had hoped
Schley had encountered the Spanish
fleet. Touching on national politics.

A .Figgcr" Among the Girls.

A famous San Joaquin Valley ranch
er, who settled in that California dis
trict at an early date and has resided
there ever since, was presented some
days ago with a dress suit, says the
New York Commercial. The rancher
is a shrewd old character and in the
course of years has acquired several
thousand acres of the finest wheat
land. The teachings of his youth, how
ever have remained with him for life.
de has never left the ranch except
once year. when he went down to
San Francisco to purchase supplies
and dispose of his wheat crop. Though
his bank account became large and he
applied on his ranch the latest meth
DDS and most improved machinery, he
has always chung to the home made
clothes" of his less prosperous years
and his wife has made all his wearing
apparel. He has two suits of clothes,
one for every day, and the other
known as his "other clothes"-for Sun
day. The Other clothes" usually last
about three years before being replac-
ed by new suit The trousers are
a trife baggy at the knee and else
where and about three inches short
of his shoetops; but they suit the old
mans idea of economy.
The other clothes" are always on
his back when he goes to San Fran
cisco, and it has not been an uncom-
mon thing along the principal streets
of that city for the young men to
murmur: Back to the brush!' or ION
to Majuba Hill" as the old rancher
perambulated up the street. They lit
tie dreamed that he could sign his
check for 100000.
On one of these trips. when an I'M
usually heavy crop with extra big
prices made the frugal farmers return
Wad heavier than it had ever been be-
fore, his brokers-who were them
selves getting rich dealing with him
decided that it would be a good idea
to make the old man a present. So one
day when he dropped into their office
a large package was handed to him,
and the senior partner made a presen-
tation speech all about long and init
mate business ability, sincere friend
ship and the like. The old rancher
looked at the package.
whats this?" he asked.
"Oh, we thought we'd get you a new
suit of clothes to celebrate the big
deal"
What for?"
ITO wear"
Down here?"
Certainly"
but nobody knows me in San
Francisco. What would be the use of
wearing good clothes down here?"
"Oh, well take them home" replied
the senior partner. You can wear
them at home"
We'll, what's the use? Everybody
knows me there, and knows I'm rich. u
Finally as a compromise the rich
rancher agreed to take the dress suit
home and present it to his foreman
