.swEEr IoHN .. RoekEFsLLER:

THE discussion aroused by John d.
= Rockefeller's recent gift TO the
foreign missionary cause Is doing
much 70 reveal the mental attitude OF
large number Of apologists; and one
cannot prevent the suspicion that a
great many persons feel that it would
be poor policy to cut themselves Off
from any bequests that the oil magnate
may think proper TO make.
DR.. Washington GLADDEN. is practi-
cally alone In his criticisms OF Mr..
Rockefeller OF course he can point
70 the findings OF courts and investi-
eating committees, and these on their
face are damaging, but then we must
keep our eye on the larger good, and
if the Decalogue happens TO get smash
ed while one q assisting Providence to
carry out its larger DEGREES, the minor
sins are swallowed up IA the greater
good.
Mr.. Rockefeller has vast wealth. and,
consequently, he has ardent and dis
tinguished apologlsts And why not?
What is the use Of vast wealth IL it viii
not buy that which is most precious?
Therefore, we are not surprised that
Dr. Macarthur, Of New York, has
come to the defense Of the oil man.
He says that Mr.. Rockefeller 'is one
Of the gentlest and sweetest aud in
his private life as IN his religious life,
one Of the noblest OF men,"
That settles all questions as to re-
bates. That determines the morality
Of all measures to ruin and crush out
competitors. The propriety Of innu-
encing legislation by financial consld-
erations is determined. Mr.. Rockefei-
ier is good, sweet and noble.
But Dr. Macarthur goes further:
Not satisfied with a mere negative. he
swings around TO the positive Mr..
Rockefeller has not only done no evil,
he has done an inoalcuiable amount OF
good. He has made a gft to eivH-
zation that cannot be overstated." and
this gift consists IN the lesson he has
taught Of the possibilities OF organiza-
ton.
u Is reasonable 70 suppose that Mr.
Rockefeller is only a pioneer, and az
he owns about one-twenty- OF the
total wealth Of the United States. some
day there win be nobler aud sweetel
nature who prohting by Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's teaching win own one-half or even
all Of the wealth, and then we shall
come to estimate the pioneer at hli
true worth.

Nebraska Drops out.


From the Topeka Capital.
The pace was too stiff for Ne
braska, and our sister state has given
up the effort to train IN Kansas class
as a trust buster. Nebraska has back
slidden. After sending a committee Of
the LEGISLATURE 10 Lansing 20 see how
the Kansas Penitentiary twine plant
was run, and having received a most
favorable report from the committee,
some OF whose members had started
out prejudiced against the project, and
having appropriated 100000 by the
Legislature to follow the Kansas and
Minnesota example, Nebraska sue
cumhs TO "a Gubernatorial veto by Mr..
Mickey, and the Nebraska wheat
raisers viii buy their twine hereafter
as heretofore from the Twine Trust
Having put its hand TO the plough, Ne
braska turns back. However, this is
hardly regrettablc Nebraska might
have failed where Kansas succeeded,
and certainly the success Of the Kan
sas twine plant is undisputed. To car
ny on the war to a successful issue
state must have the true trust-hghting
corpusclos in It's blood Il must enjoy
the hght and have supreme confidence
ia its ability 10 win. II Nebraska S
courage was TO fail at an it was bet
ter before the appropriation was made
and expended. But the recalciirancy
OF sister Nebraska win have no effect
upon Kansas, which has enlisted for

Badly Burns Three Men.
Pensacola, Fla, April %. - Flare
back" or explosion OF gases, on the
battleship Maine recently caused the
injury OF three men on that vessel.
This fact did not become known until
the ship came into harbor and began
coalIng. II then leaked out that the
"fare back" had occurred while the
vessel was on the target range, badly
burning three men in one Of the tur-
rets Il Is asserted that a catastrophe

back which is one Of the breads Of
the men Of the navy. occurred a few
days after rthe Maine went on the tar

since the vessels have been target

had formed in the breech OF the gun
and that when another charge was

MR., cLEvELANp's FINE TRlsUrE,


MO more worthy and touching trib-
~ ute has been paid to the late
"Joe" Jefferson than that OF his friend
and nelghbor Grover Cleveland. They
had been the closest associates for
years, had hshed together and been
neighhors In Buzzard's Bay. conse-
quently it is no mere perfunctory trib-
ute, but that OF a friend and neighbor.
He says:
IT is dlhioult for me to speak Of Mr..
Jefferson. He was so closely my
friend, his delightful traits were so
made manifest 10 me in confidential
intimacy and my love for him was so
great that his death causes me to
feel Ike a moumer whose sorrow
should be silent,
IAN knew my friends professional
supremacy and his conscientious serv-
Ice In professional work; many knew
how zealousy he defended dramatic
art and how completely he illustrated
the Importance OF its cleanliness: many
knew how free he was from hatred;
malice and all uncharitableness. but
fewer knew how harmoniously his
qualities Of heart and mind and con-
science blended IN the creation Of an
honest upright sincere ana God fearing
man.
y believe that in death he has
reached a world where the mercy OF
God abounds and ! know that ia the
world Of men the sadness Of his loss

- ovERNOR LEA IN the exercise OF
NJ his discretion has allowed
number Of bills 10 fail, lacking his sig-
nature.
The Kent local option bill Of course,
should not have been signed, as the
Governor pursued the sensible course
Of asking for the opinion Of the judges,
and their view as to its uneonstltuton-
ality settled the matter.
He did well to refuse to make law
the bills TO refund the forfeit OF $685.
900 which the state Treasurer holds
owing to the failure Of certain per-
sons to build the Kent county electric
line according 20 agreement This
money was paid over as a guarantee o.
good faith, and IT would be a very bad
precedent to refund it when # has
been legally forfeited Besides, the
towns along the route and the farm-
ers were probably annoyed and incon-
venienoed TO the amount Of that sum.
We haven't the slightest doubt that
Legislatures for years to come will be
pestered with this matter, but as long
las we have Governor who knows
his mind ana is fearless such legis-
lation viii not receive his sanction.
And, by the way, this is the first
Governor Wilmington has had within
the memory Of living persons, and we
think his record so far shows that this
community is capable Of producing GU
bernatorial timber.
The Governor also failed to approve
the bin providing penalties for teach
ers who innict on pupils corporal pun
ishment. There Is considerable to be
said on both sides of this measure But
we doubt whether we are prepared for
so radical step as 10 abolish the rod
from the schools. Whatever fine the
ories of discipline we may hold, there
are children who at times are not
amennble 20 reason or persuasion.

derstand that the teacher cannot
thrash them for any mishehaylor they
viii interpret the law into license TO
do as they please. The only remedy
then is expuislon-the thing they de-
sire above all else We think the Gov
ernor did well TO allow this bin TO die.
or course II there is a teacher who
brutally whips any child we already
have laws to reach the case,
There are a number OF other bills
which the Governor did not choose to
sign about the merits Of which there
may be some discussion. But IN all
the measures that he has signed or
omitted TO slgn there has been evil
denee that the man who decided their
fate was Preston Lea, and not some-
body who told him how he should act.

This Pig Got q Bath.

The phrage "dirty a. a pig" is fast
losing popularity, at least among vis-
itors at the Lewis and Clark Exposi.
ton who have seen the way pigs are
cleaned and cared for at the stock
show now in progress on the Govern
ment Peninsula. T..
A day or two ago a curious crowd
watched the operation Of washing q
pig, and found the sight novel and
interesting. The pig which was the
object OF such solicitude was q mon.
ster boar, which looked like the pic.
lures on auction bills, and weighed
more than 900 pounds. The washing
act was performed by young man
who used scrubbing brush and some
washing powder. The boar was con.
fined in crate just large enough to
hold him, and it WAS fortunate that
this was the case, for hs did not take
to the scrubbing in a kindly spirit.
As the young man spread washing
powder on the beasts broad back, and
then made lather with the brush,
the great animal snorted in disgust,
and stirred nervously in his narrow
cage.
"Doesn't he like to be washe d."
a young girl who had been watching
the operation asked anxiously.
"No, mann, you see he's pig" the
washerman answered CURLY. "He's
got to stand it, though, for we've been
feeding him for long while 30 that
he could win u prize"
The cattle at the Expo sition also
were groomed with great care, and
nearly all Of them had their horns
polished. This operation was accom-.
plished byl the use FIRST Of sand paper,
and then Of cloth, until the horn
shone like the handle Of a cane.
