SUCCESS AND DOLLARS

SUCCESS AND UOLLARS.
Russell Sage has celebrated his eighty fifth birth
day. His wealth Is estimated at about $4,000 OO0
most million for each year-a good record If sue
cess IL measured In dollars. Even in these days Of
colossal fortunes those of who do not expect to
reaze million in lifetime constrained to think
fQt million for every year is doing pretty we re-
fmarkabH well extraordinarily wen. A million, de.
spite that We hare $1000O000O trusts, is right
smart Of money.
Contemplation Of Russell Sage, hale at s5. his
million Q year heaped up, counting from his tenth
year, awakens long train of reflection. For in
stance. the mediocre fellows; they whose abilities
command all the way from $50 to $500 month, how
would they comport themselves II each salaried
at million year? Just think of the choice cigars
to be had. whole tobacco plantation could be &C
Qued and the smokables manufactured to suit every
within of taste. Think, too, Of the dinners at IS
even $50 dinners every night. Consider also the
dresses which Liza and the children would have
set 1t going in the back yard.
1t sounds fine But somehow we feel that with the
3dbacco plantation we'd smoke ourselves black in the
face; that, with those monster dinners, we'd die of
apoplexy or something; and that the millinery shop
In the back yard would be great annoyance, which
liza wouldn't like at all, since she enjoys nothing
than looking up the bargains in the advertise
snents and running downtown to get first choice.
n On the whole, after considering the pros and cons
Are are Of the opinion that not all together

Simple pluck, plain courage, is one thing which
everybody admires No ifs or butts about it. YET
In these days Of social completely in this epoch OF
analyses when the mind Is schooed to follow devious
courses In deciding whether it's 'tisn't, Often
are lost in the hazy abstract where the vision is SO
befogged that for the life of us we definitely
say what is what. Analyze that word courage" too
long, and the mind will be rowing in speculative
wilderness. travelling in circle like the wanderer in
the forest arriving nowhere, that courage would
seem everything and nothing.
Once courage was much simpler virtue. Hack
down few enemies, slaughter man two maybe
three or four live to tell the tale and the quality Of
courage was demonstrated. Such opportunities now
are few, though courage, and exalted courage, re-
mains-witness an item chronlcled recently.
The Illustration lies in the fortitude shown by the
young lady and gentleman who, though the serv-
ice was crippled though the thunder Numbered and
the lightning lghtened though they had umbrella
and were two miles from Clayton, walked that dis
lance to be united in holy wedlock. No small por-
ton Of that courage involved in the original de-
termination to face the altar. But when It

No question here. No maze. Of indecision pro-
hibiting pronouncement This is the real thing.
The quality OF the courage. the unequaed daring of
the deed, the unflinching facing of known conse
quences, the hardihood and grim determination
evinced leaves room for doubt After long medi-
tatlon upon the incident feel certain that it
be declared unto the world: Here indeed is
courage superior to that which sustained Horatio
the bridge or which inspired the handful Of Greeks

The Citizens Gas & Fuel Company has installed it's new plant in the frame building adjoining the Star Hotel on Walnut Street and on Tues day night connections were made with the mains. A machine of far greater capacity than the old one has been in- stalled and it is probable the com pany will soon extend pipes through out much of the residence section.
 On their recent trip into North Ar kansas, H. Bernstein, w. A. Joyce and w. A. Billingsley are reported to have taken an option upon eight lots in Cotter, under the name of H. Bern stein and Company and if that town should be made the division point up on the Iron Mountain, would put up an elegant brick hotel building, two stories high upon two lots and one story upon four of the others. The option is for three months.
 The INDEPENDENT is in receipt of a pictorial postal card from our fellow townsman MT.

Goldman, we hope the latter may bring them over upon his re- turn.

stake. Let US hear something
now for these helpless children,
in virgin innocence and the
beautiful freshness of youth, in
whose thoughts nothing ever
came but prayer that God would
bless all the world who are
condemned to IL fate infinitely
worse than death by one whom
they have never wrOnged. Lynch
law is irregular and burning is
, unnatural, but neither is more
irregular and unnatu raj than the
crime avenged. Here a thought
arises. Rape is not a capital
crime in many States, but pop
ular sentiment in cases where it
is unprovoked approves of the
death penalty for it. A law
which Furnishes rape with a mere
term of imprisonment. is an invi-
tation to lynch the vile perpetra-
tor Of this offense.
Back of this whole question
lowers the dark cloud of race
hatred, and we have been sur
priSed to observe some respect
able papers, such as the New
York Law Journal, expressing
satisfaction that the negroes are
arming to resist lynchings. So
far as lynching is concerned, the
wrong is not directed against
the negro race, but against indi-
viduals who area loathly disgrace
to any race. Why should the
respectable part of the negroes
band together as race to defend
these creatures? Such action is
not demanded by racial self
respect, and it's adoption by the
ignorant people to whom the adj
vice is addressed would lead to
miseries untold which would fall
with far heavier hand on them
than on the whites. Speaking
generally, negroes are ignorant,
excitable, not SchOOled to think
or deliberate, without high I'M BIZ
tons or standards of life. Like
all people of such a type, they
are easily carried away by feel
ing and emotion, us is amply H.
Illustrated by their religion.
These are the people whom some
thoughtless, if we'll meaning, per-
sons are advising to arm to re-
sist lynchings threatened against
criminal tiends. What must be
the result? Meetings or speech
makings among the negroes, the
excitement of feeling which in
their unframed minds will be-
come indiScriminate race hatred,
collisions with whites, blood
shed, and then, as surely as
night follows day, stern ven
geance on the negro and a pc
riod of real persecution for him.
No advice more fraught with evil
consequences to both races,
more absolutely suicidal to the
negro, could be given. Every
well-informed person who has
the Negroes well-being at heart
must lament such pernicious
and irresponsible suggestions.
