The day Of RECKONING for the Beef

diseased meat won't have to wait very
much longer.
The city inspectors ut the Union
Stockyaris condemned and destroyed
305,5i5 pounds of bad meat during the

Alleged Reforms Motive.

Grand stand players at reform
who make a pass here and there at
suppressing evil because the eyes of
a few sanctified hypocritical consti-
tuents are upon them instead OF be-
ing moved to do the right thing by
that high impulse that comes from
heart free from rancorous spite
are well sized up by Alfred Henry
Lewis's dissertation on caste:
There are folk--descended,
doubtless. of ancestors that heated
the pincers. and turned the thumb
kins, and worked the straining-rack
for the inquisitions as mere day
laborers at torture-who delight in
doing mean. hateful, Furnishing
things to their fellow-mortals, If
they may but call such doing
duty" They will weep hypocritical-
~ while burning a victim, and de-
clare, between sobs, that they pile
the fagots and apply the torch only
from a "sternest conviction of duty. !"
The word duty" like the venom Of
a serpent, is ever in their mouths;
and by 1t they break hearts, destroy
hopes, create blackness, blot out
light, forbid happiness. foster grief,
and plant pain In breasts innocent Of
every crime save that of helping

The Three Richest Men.

The statement authorized by Mr..
Rockefeller, that his fortune does
not exceed $500, 900, 900. is giving
much encouragement, says the
Springfield Republican, to those
who believe or affect TO believe that
the possession of the wealth of the
country is not unduly centralized. It
Is pointed out by the New York
Times, for example, that as the to-
tai accumulated property of the
country amounts TO an estimated
$1O7. 900, 100000. Mr.. Rockefeller
owns less than three-tenths of per
cent of It. Mr.. Carnegie. in view OF
this revised and reduced estimate OF
the Rockefeller fortune, must be
worth quite as much; for. great as
have been his public gifts. they have
not much If any exceeded his annual
income, and 1t was pretty well
known that when he retired from
business on the formation of the
United States steel corporation he
took with him fortune in the
neighborhood of $500, 000, 900.
These two men may thus be said to
possess about six-tenths OF l per
cent of the total property of the
country. Senator Clark OF Montana
is credited with a fortune of some
100000. 900, though there are
those having knowledge of his affairs
who consider him weather. even
than Mr.. Rockefeller, and it is said
that he never knows within $25, O0O,-
900 OF just how much he is worth
Thus even the combined holdings Of
these three richest men in America
fall short of / per cent of the total
wealth, and so, says the Times. "the
meath of the country is evidently
mot In few but many hands; i'm.
'mense as they are the big fortunes
are petty fractions of the vast
whole"
That is true, and it may be true
without detracting anything from the
truth Of the assertion that the coun'
try's wealth is unduly centralized in
possession. One man owns three.
tenths OF per cent of the total, but
the one man is only one eight-hun.
dred-thousandth part of / per cent
Of the total population. The three
men mentioned. owning eight.
tenths of per cent of the total
form only one two hundred and six.
ty-six-thousandth part of per cent
of the population; and this is much
too large part of the country s
wealth to be held by so minutely
small a part of the population. 1t
would be grotesque even in a coun-
try governed in the special interest,"
Of a privileged class; 1t becomes an
enormity which bellies all our pre-
tensions to equality OF opportunity
and justice when found under DEM
ocratic Institutions. Capacity for
money-making or for doing any
thing else is not so narrowly dis
tributed among men as such figures
would indicate. There is reflected
rather the existence of gross injus-
tice under the present Industrial or
der.
Hannis Taylor, former United
States minister to Spain, has it
about right when he says, as in an
address at Johns Hopkins univer-
sity: Il know Of no monster %
dangerous to the life of a republic.

A Ridiculous Assertion.

] Assertion has been made. and the
idea is entertained by some who
ought TO know better. that the pres
ent mayor of Clarksburg has not
; carried out ony of his reform prom
! ises and plans simply because he
does not central the city council.
The idea is ridiculously illogical.
The system Of government of the
city of Clarksburg is divided into
three departments-legislative. ex-
ecutive and judicial It is fashioned
after the system that was establish
ed by the constitution of the United
States, the most successful liberty
giving form of government known
to mankind, a government of the
people. by the people and for the
people.
The legislative power is vested in
council consisting of representa-
tives elected by the people whose
function is that of ordaining the
laws of the city. 1t is solely law
making body and it has no other
function.
The judicial department is vested
in city court which is commonly
known as the police court, whose
presiding officer is the mayor. The
function of this department is the
administration of justice, the melting
out OF penalties and punishments for
violations OF the city laws, With
this its Jurisdiction ends.
The executive department is vest
ed in the mayor who is the chief and
head Of all the executive powers of
the city government. With him
and him alone rests the responsible
lty Of the management OF the city's
affairs. The supreme power of this
management rests with him,
To say that the city's chief execu-
tive cannot fulfill his duties because
the Legislative department will not
permit him is silly. The legislative
department has nothing whatever &c
do with the executive department
after 1t enacts the laws that the
executive department is TO carry
out. The present laws of the city
give the mayor the power to carry
ont his duties and the legislative
body has not during the present ad
ministration curtailed any of this
power. If the policemen OF the city
fail to carry out their duties or re
fuse to assist the mayor in hi
executive work It is plainly, clearl!
and unequivocally his duty to sus
I pend those policemen, or any otheI
of the employees of the city who fai
to do their duty. He is the genera
manager of the city's affairs and |
he fails in his management he alon'
is to blame and not the law-makini
body which prescribes and enact'
the laws.
Therefore all this talk about tn,
present incumbent of the chic
executives ONCE not being permit
ted to carry out his duties because
another department of the govern
ment whose function is entirel,
separate and distinct will not lie
him is the purest fol de rol.
