Mrs. Russell Sage's New Plan of
 Philanthropy.

Mrs. Russell Sage is about to use part of the wealth left by her hus- band in q wholly new experiment in philanthropy. Among all the endow- ments for various helpful purposes, none hitherto has been made for establishing public loan fund. Mrs. Sage purposes forming an organiza. tion, and placing in its charge the necessary money, to advance funds to worthy persons ten &1orarily embar- rassed.
 The evident purpose is to relieve deserving men and women, in 6nan- :ial distress, from the exactions of ,o-called loan sharks The usury eVi las been the chief object of restrict i've legislation in almost all of the states. But in an unhappily large number of cases these laws are evaded or ignored, and the needy borrower becomes victim. In some of the European countries, notably France, loans are made on personal property, always in small amounts, to relieve temporary distress. Where the plan has been giTrn fair trial, it has worked well.
 The establishing of the Sage loan fund is yet in its incipiency, and none of the details have been arranged. It is presumed, of course, that such re- strictions will be placed around the enjoyment of it's privileges as will make it helpful. not hurtful. The only wise charity is that which aims to help themselves. With the aid of local organizations it should be pos. sible, in distributing the benefits of the Sage fund. to separate the worthy from the unworthy applicants so as practically to eliminate imposition.
 There can be no question of the es- sential excellence of Mrs. Sage's plan, nor can it be doubted that the field she purposes entering is one needing cultivation. If the trust is properly administered, the possibli- ties of good to be accomplished by such loan fund are almost incalcul- able.

Old Tricks Mean Hope for Democrats

To do the President no more than justice, he cut an awkward figure in his attempt to dance the tight rope of political expediency. He was saved from instant and ignominious failure by the famous smile, the pleas ant voice, the sturdy legs, the-"fair round belly with good capon lined, :" in short, the whole jocund exterior indicating genial fellowship and in voking confidence.
 All the same and all the time he was and be is a republican. He is 2 mail-clad, case mated, dyed-in-the- wool republican. He is a republican of the School of New England and O. Pennsylvania, which teaches thai wealth may be created by Legislation and, having been thus created, that it must be fostered and protected by legislation. He is a republican of the kidney of Aldtich, who does as he pleases with the public business and takes what he wants of the substance of the people, and looks to the h. terests to see him through: and of the the ilk of Cannon, who whether in the Speakers chair, or in party cauces stands pat and says ''ditto" to Aldrich. Pig Iron used to be the Supreme Being of this brand of very thrifty and profitable political fanati cism. Now, it is any old thing that promises to put up the money for campaign expenses, from ship subsidy in the East to landpiracy in the West, slicked and sugared by few la-de das a bout the needs and the beauty of Humanity and the wickedness of Trustism, left over from Theodore Roosevelt's fantastic aphernalia, invented in hood-wink the hay-seeds and draw iha r-imin.r nf the socialists, and generally tU bvt.E the situation and confuse its issues.
 The trick, though as old as time, served its purpose: it put the Fat Man in the White House and sent the Lion Tanner on his way rejoicing; and whilst everybody sees it plain enough now, it is not so clear when the people will grow so tired of ways the less puissant of the two.-Henry Watterson in Norman E.

Over Million in a Single mOnth.

If anyone thinks, that Goldfed is not doing anything they must halt at these figures. More than q million dollars was taken out of the ground by the Goldfeld Consolidated Mines Company during the last month, and a net profit of $780, ,00O was secured upon which dividends will be paid to stockholders. J. R. Finlay, general manager, in his preliminary report tor the month of March, estimates the production of the Consolidated mines at 26 6l7 tons, with a gross value of $l,Oi5, ,OOO The gold re- covered was approximately $95O, 1000 with expenses of S22O,O00 and net profit of s75O,OOO
 Production of million dollars per month from Consolidated is controlled only by the capacity of the big mill to assimilate the gold that could be poured into it's troughs, and it is probable that each succeeding month will witness d general average ot ap- proximately the record for March. If it does not, it will be because gold is glut on the market.
 From grass-roots to the 1OOO-foot level the Consolidated never in the past looked as we'll as it does today, and the record of March may be taken as au indication of what the mine will do in the future under the most con- servative, value-reserving policy of the management.-Gol Tribune.

Thatcher Has Heavy Hay CrOp.

For the purpose of looking into the possibilities of the hay market in Bisbee, c. M. Layton, of Thatcher, Arizona, arrived in Bisbee, coming up from Douglas where he had been on the same business. MT. Layton is a member of the mercantile firm of J. R. Walker x Co.,, at Stafford, own ing one of the largest business en- terprises in the Gila valley in Gra- ham county.
 "The farmers of the Gila valley were never more prosperous than they are now," said Layton. ''Tbey have produced great crops success sively for several years and received good prices for them, mostly alfalfa, barley and wheat. Successive good crops have caused the price of land to increase rapidly. Land for which I paid ST per acre when I came to this country less than twenty years ago, have refused $50 per acre re- gently. Some of the choicest of the land in the valley has heen sold for S20O and as high as S25O per acre.
 "The outlook for a good hay crop this year is excellent, and the first cutting will come to the market about the first of next month, aud for this first product the farmers ex- pect to receive SlO. 50 per ton loaded on the cars. Last year the hay crop sold for an average of about SIP per ton, starting in the spring at SS 50 and going to Sl4 per ton in the fall.

Tin in United States.
From Mining Science.

From Mining Science.
 The existence of real working tin mine in the United States will be quite an event in the annals ef Ameri- can mining. It is something that we have long hoped for but never ex- pected to see. Now it appears likely to be an accomplished fact in the little mine being opened up near Fl Paso, Texas, under good manage ment, We shall look forward with interest to it's first commercial ship ment. The discovery of a paying vein or body of tin ore in our West ern states should encourage research and prospecting for similar ones. One cause perhaps of such not having been discovered is the prevailing ignorance amongst miners and pros- pectors of the general appearance of tin ore in nature. They do not know what it would look like if they saw it.. Doubtless iron garnets, which tin cry staIs much resemble, have often been mistaken for it, but it is not impossi- ble that tin crystals have sometimes been taken for garnets and valuable tin deposit overlooked. A Cornish miner brides himself that "he do know tiu," but the tin met with in the Cornish mines may not always resemble the few scattered crystals of ''cassiterite' found in a quartz vein on the surface. There is no geologi- cal reason why tin should not be found in these Rocky mountains as abund- ant as in some other parts of the world, but many geological reasons why it should be found. In point of fact, tin has been found in many regions in the West, usually, how ever, in small and unworka ble quanti ties. The notable localities are Cali fornia, Alaska, Dakota and Texas. The significant fact remains that up to date there is no shipping tin min e

Grade crossings of railroads should
be abolished wherever it is practica-
Bile to do SO. That proposition is, we
believe, little short of automatic.
Where they cannot at present be
abolished there should be gates or
other devices for the safety of the
public. at least in the neighborhood of
populous centers. That also is indis-
putable. And 1t goes without saying
that where there are gates they
should be used and the gateman
should be vigilant and alert in the
performance OF his duties. Neyerthe-
less, caveat viator! 1t is the part OF
wisdom, it is precept of discretion,
1t is an imperative duty to self, that
he who crosses railroad track
should look out for the locomotive.
No man in the possession of normal
faculties crosses a railroad track
without knowing 1t. Nor is he ig-
norant of the fact that the railroad
train has the right Of way along it's
rails and that 1t Is for him who
crosses them to look out for his own
safety. 1t is no hardship to do so.

Mr.. William H. Simms of the Phil

this contributory suggestion:
Instead of the professor of deport-
TENS we shall some day have the So
cial engineer, qualified to look be-
meath the pretensions Of men and dis
Germ the real qualities that animate

That is, 1t is more matter OF &c.
lecting men possessed of the spirit of
real courtesy, which, as MIR Simms
rightly says, is based on sympathy
and sincerity, than by instruction to
produce the mere forms Of kindness.
justice, and considerate attention to
its patrons in the employees OF rail
way. But this spirit also responds to
training:
After securing the proper men they
must be taught and trained. Some
men resent discipline, but it is only
the trained horse that wins the race.
A capable, courteous conductor. IL
given the right men. will train up
men exemplifying the good qualities
that he himself possesses"
1t is matter for congratulation
that the managers of railways are CIV
