WORK MEMS PROBLEMS.
New York World

One hundred, or even fifty, years ago
no such discussion of workiugmen's
problems as is now i'm progress In New
York would have been dreamed OF.
Such problems scarcely existed; the
journeyman looked forward to becom-
ing "his own boss" the farm laborer
expected to own a farm or to take up
other business; the teacher had his
eve on the bench or OH Congress. Men
were not interested in pensions, and not
as much as they should have been in
compensation for accidents. The vast
scale on which industry is conducted
makes these questions urgent now. Men
cannot so easily work for themselves;
TO change employment after one is forty
has become difficult. A mans job must
support him. If he Is faithful, ii ought
TO make his old age secure. II he is dis
abled. misfortune should not make him
n pauper. a great advance toward gen.
eral otld-age pensions has already been
made. Germany seeks this security for
toilers in a complicated system sup
ported in part by workmen, In part by
employers, in part rby the government.
In Great Britain a pensions act has
been hurriedly passed for political rea-
sons without foreknowledge of its cost.
Great railway systems have In Ameri-
ca voluntarily adopted pensions. Old
age pension acts have been introduced
In New York and other States and may
soon become leading issues

History will tell you that Thurlow
Weed. when attending the first Whls
caucus at Buffalo, was SO struck with
the personal appearance OF a young
lawyer OF the name of Millard Fillmore
that he induced the Buffalo politicians
TO nominate him for and elect him to
the New York Legislature. 1t will tell
you that Mr. Weed was Millard Fill
more's political sponsor; that the two
men were very intimate for years, but
that after Mr.. Fillmore was elected
vice president of the United States he
developed an intense jealousy of MT
Weed that led to their complete po-
litical and personal eStrangement. 1t
will tell you, further. that this bitter
enmity ended only after a quarter OF 4
century had passed, but 1t does not
tell how this was unexpectedly brought
about through the simple agency Of a
Clarke Of New York City. who knew
both Fillmore and Weed intimately,
told me the story.
I'm the autumn OF 1873, Mr. Weed,
following his habit of years, went 10
Saratoga Springs to spend the month.
He was accompanied by his sister Har-
riet. the faithful and constant compan-
ion OF his old age. At that time his
eyesight was so obscured that he was
just able to distinguish the outlines of
persons he met. depending upon their
voices to recognize them.
"One afternoon, as Mr.. Weed and his
sister were driving over to Saratoga
lake. they met a carriage going towards
the village. whose occupant. catching
sight of Miss Weed. lifted his hat and
bowed with courtly grace. Mr.. Weed
turned questioningly to his sister.
Harriet, he said, didn't that gen.
tlcman bow to u.s.?

OF the Sherman Antitrust act. The
Standard Oil company OF New Jersey
is such a holding company.
The decision shows that the courts

the Supreme court will appoint trus-

New Jersey combination.
1t would be their duty. after suffici-

New Jersey company. 1t is believed
that various companies Will be organiz-

corporations would obtain control OF
the subsidiary companies and operate

1t should be added that the decision
does not affect any trusts whose opera
ton is within the law. Those formed
on legitimate lines will continue to do
business Neither will any actual
hardship result from the dissolution
OF the Standard. All the component
portions of the monopoly will proceed
as before.
The decision is thus a conservative
