surveyors for the Chicago & North
western Railway company left here
today for Iroquois, where they will
survey for an extension of the North

INEQUALITY SURE
TO EXIST ALWAYS
Cardinal Gibbons Declares Pow.
erty and Suffering Are
Ordered by God.

Baltimore. Md, Oct. 2S.-"The purpose
of the American today is not only TO alle-
yiate, but to eliminate poverty. / believe
in public spirit, and I admire the Ameri-
cans for e~ndeayoring to relieve suffering.
Suffering, however, cannot be eliminated.
AS long as the social relations exist be-
tween human beings there will be poverty
in the world"
TINS comment was made by Cardinal
Gibbons. In a discussion OF present day
problems.
God intended inequality among man
kind, and this inequality we will always
have continued the cardinal. "Christ's
disciples were not men of potent political
influence or high social positions: they
were without any prestige at ali in the
sight of men. But they were commanded
by Christ to preach the gospel, to heal tae
broken hearts, TO feed the hungry ard
clothe the naked.
1.-The religion of Christ is a practical re-
ligion, and bears a relation to social be-
ings. Men were created for society, and
no man is sufficient by himself There
should be the same harmonious relations
between melnbers of the social body,
whether rich or poor, as between mew
bers of the physical body.
II care not how rich a man is. I care
not whether he be a Croesus, a John
Jacob Aston, a John ID. Rockefeller or a
Vanderbilt, what will his wealth avail him
IL he has no friend to help him, no servant
to minister to his wants, no one TO stand
by him, no one to give him solace In his
sorrow? II they ave no friend, l say,
their wealth will avail them nothing.
'"The rich as we'll as the poor declare i
am not my brothers keeper This is the
language Of selfishness and misery. That
man must be miserable that says L am
not my brothers keeper He Is an ice
berg II is a curse to himself"
