A South Carolina ulre or Calhoun.

There is, sir, one principle necessary
to make us q great people, 70 produce not
the form, but the real spirit, OF union,
and that is to protect every citizen in the
lawful pursuit Of his business. He will
then feel that he is backed by the Govern
ment, that its arm il his arm, and will re-
ioice in its increased strength and pros
perty. Protection and pat riotism are re-
cipr0cal. This is the way which has led
nations to greatness" With this- extract
from Calhouns first speech In Congress,
Mr.. Gustavus NJ. Pinckney Of the Charles
ton bar fittingly begins his Life OF John
c. Calhoun" (Walker, Evans Cogswell
Co., Charleston, y. CO.. 1t Is an impress
sonistic picture rather than biography,
for the author shows a strange aversion
TO precise STATEMENTS Of facts or dates.
Perhaps South Carolnians are supposed
to have the details Of Mr. Calhoun's career
at their fingers ends, though we fancy
this was truer in the ante-bellum days than
it is nowadays. Persons born outside
the Palmetto State will certainly feel the
need OF having their memories logged
about many facts that the civil war sent
far into the past.
The principal events in his hero's life Mr..
Pnckney illustrates very properly with
quotations from Calhoun's own speeches.
His is a notable figure in American history
for good and for bad, and he deserved
rather dispassionate biography than a
eulogy and defence. We fear, too, that
the march of events has taken the ques-
ton Of state sovereignty and the Federal
power out of the region Of discussion,
where Mr. Pinckney still believes it TO be,
into that of settled fact The book is in
teresting in many ways, and is written with
cnirit

Wv fOst OtilCe,
Friends Of Engineer Parsons say it is
Unfair 10 him to infer from his supposed
a'urlde that he does not know how TO
Om'd deep tunnels, and that the language
OF the Rapid Transit COMMISSIONS resou-
l'oh was unfortunate, as it suggest ed that
he seek Information with which his ex-
Nrlencc had already provided him.
ONe fourth OF the present subway sys-
ZEN, they say, has been tunnel work. Then
why shouldn't Engineer Parsons report
70 the commission that he knows a way
o. boring tunnel down Broadway, leaving
me street surface undsturbed and the
sidewalks unmarked with dust fumes?
N the Fort Washington division Of the
underground system there il a tunnel sec
'oh two miles long, which is the largest
No'track railroad tunnel in America ex-
cept the Ifoosac tunnel
nat was built under Mr. Parsons as
o4"f engineer. Why shouldn't he build
r lonr-mile tunnel under Broadway from
rortv-Second street TO South Ferrye
lhlet Engineer Deyo of the marlborough
..sSmHPany said he didn't think the people
81 New York would like deep tunnels "If
uey want deep tunnels they can have
mem, said he II know of no insuperabe
engineering obstacles in the way OF rapid

oNE FIFrH rHE FAREs.

The city Of Chicago realizes it let so
Of good thing" and now wishes to
reenact a provision which would give
the city one-hfth of the gross revenues
of the street railway company. The
Tribune of last Sunday says, on this
score:
In 1867 the legislature enacted Il law
amendatory OF the city charter 1t con
tanned an interesting provision relating to
street railroads which remained in force
until the present charter was adODted II
was that the council should grant no flri,--
ilsge to use or run dummies. or steam en-
gines, or use other than horse power l1ron
street railways unless the company bound
itself to pay into the city treasury at tine
enc OF eacn ana every month one-hfth Of
every fare collected and received.
The men who drafted that provision
thirty-six years ago had considerable bust
ness wisdom. They foresaw the 6ay when
1t would be necessary to use on Chicago
street railroads a better and a cheat,e r
power than horse power and they were re-
solved that in the event of a change the
city should share in the company's gains
the charter Of 1867 had been in force when
the south side company was authorized to
SNpstltute capies Tor horses on IT'S main
llnes what revenue the city would have
been receiving since that time
The cltys interests should be better
cared for in the future than they have
been in the past The officers Of the south
side ractlOn company saw they are anN-
iOus to make an arrangement with the
expire in a few months They say that if
such an arrangement can be had the cor
poraton will spend at once from $S0GJ.noa
to SlO.QQe000 in improving its service. 1t is
desirable that both companies shnulI he
dealt with at the same time in order that
the best possible arra naements may be
made as to terminals in the business dis
trict, but the Union Traction company is
IN sea of troubles. and it IS impossible to
tell how soon It will extricate itself. The
council may not deem it expedient 70 await
the diseutanglement of its affairs before
talking business with the other COMPANY
If the council shall proceed to consider
the terms of an agreement with the south
side company it certainly viii nct forget
that excellent provision of the charter of
1861 whose repeal has cost the city SO
much revenue The council viii insist on
that one-ffth Of every fare which II ought
to be receiving now. when the men chief
~ Interested in the Union Traction COM
pany are given clearly to understand that

every fare they viii proceed with redou-
hled energy to squeeze all the water out OF
the securities Of that company and the I'M
derlying companies so that the caDitaliza-
ticn may more nearly represent the money
actually invested in the properties. II will
be possible to give the city one-dfth Of
every fare and pay dividends on an hon

possible to do it and pay dividends on

MEN ARE OVERWORKED.
That Is What Asylum Investi-
cation Revealed Today.

The legislative committee appointed
to investigate the state insane asylums
resumed its sessions this afternoon 1t
will meet at the state house this week,
holding its sessions in the southwest
room on the ground floor of the capitol.
The witnesses to be examined this
week are those outside of the institu-
ton, largely those who have been en-
ployed in the Topeka asylum. The first
one called. was H. J. Beecham, was en-
ployed as tailor of the Topeka asylum
for Is months. He resigned in October,
1900.
Mr.. Beecham testified that he had
never seen any violence towards
patients on the part of attendants, but
he thought more competent employees
could be secured if they were paid bet
ter wages.
In my own case. for instance he
said, I know a man could have been
secured who could have done more
work than I if the wages had been bet
ter. I got $50 month and had to do
outside work to live. Attendants have
to work IA hours day and get about
s25 a month This will get boys and
students just out of school, but 1t viii
not keep competent men after they
learn something and are capable OF
earning more money

ABusING WARE-

From the EmpOria Gazette
Men who admire the soldiers Of the
civil war cannot understand why the
fellows who get to the top in soldiers
organizations are sometimes so unrea-
sonable. Take the head Of the Union
Veterans union who is abusing Eugene
Ware. The union is an excellent organ
izati0n and does much good. but it is
devoting itself to a bad cause when it
goes after Eugene Ware and threatens
to get all the old soldiers to vote against
Theodore Roosevelt If he doesn't re-
move Ware. There is no doubt but
that Ware is doing the very best for the
pensioners and those who would be pen
sioners, that he can under the law Also
there Is no doubt that the existing law
represents the American sense of debt
and justice TO the old soldiers.
The unfairness of those who COMPLAIN
at Mr.. Ware is found when they rail
against his policy Of retiring the older
and less active clerks in the pension
Office on half pay That would make
vacancies to be filled with younger and
more active men, who would get more
work done in day. and hence stop the
delays in pension cases. which the COM
planners at all pension commissioners
decry. The few old men might be in
convenienced, but the many would be
blessed. IL is short-sighted to assume
that a small injury is the worst insult
10 the world. There is no doubt that
Ware wants to be fair.

for two years. I taught school for
eight years, teaching mensuration, nav

David Wark's father had scratched an
unwilling living from the soil about
Londonderry, but the boy had an op-
portunity for a good education When
a young man. he was regarded as nav
ing learned far beyond his age. Sen
ator Wark is enthusiastic over his
school days. and he likes to tell the
story of one of the teachers in mathe-
ma tics.
There was a man in Belfast then"
he said named Thompson. who used
to get out an almanac every year. He
was great in mathematics. In every
book he'd have a lot of puzzling ques-
tiOns, some needing advanced knoWl-
edge for their solving. 1 remember one
the Irish papers said was impossible OF
solution, but my teacher worked IT out
He and Thompson coTresponded about
it and grew quite friendly before the
almanac man moved to Glasgow 1nat
Thompson's son is Sir William Thomp-
son, or rather, Lord Kelvin 50 you
see. I studied under pretty good men
Senator Wark admits that he IS begin
ming to feel a little old. His eyes are
still clear and his sight good His hear
ing is slightly defective The old fash
ioned fringe of beard and his hair still
retain the ruddiness of youth, although
slightly silvered by time.
He has a small fortune made in the
numbering business. His first entrance
to politics was in 1S41, as member Tor
Kent county in the New Brunswick as
sembly In 1851 he was appointed to the
upper house of the province, where he
remained until the confederation in 1861,
when he was called to the Dominion
senate From 1858 to 1852 he was
member of the executive council of his
province
Senator Wark is as strong Liberal
in politics as he is Presbyterian in re-
ligion.
During his long years Of service he
has always promoted the closer union
of Canada and the mother country, not
only as legislator. but with his pen.
His latest writing was THE Future of
Canada and Its Relation to the British
Empire - He opposed the confederation
although favorable to a closer trade re-
lation between the provinces.
Senator Wark attributes mis- longevity
to his methodical habits and simple
mode of living. He has never used to-
baeeo nor liquor and has always re-
mained in the open air as much as pos
sible.-Inter-Oce
