These were, after all, only episodes

manifestations of the great work OF
disintegration that was going forward

other, perhaps, had brought about.
This was something no one ques.

first phase of that unique and peculiar
esteem in which he was ever after
held. His fame widened with the sue
ceeding suns; he had offers OF help
which impressed him as SO entirely

quite lacked the heart to refuse them,

NEW NEWS of
YESTERDAY

Among the newly-elected congress-
men who took the oath administered
by Speaker Samuel J. Randall Of the
House of Representatives in 1877 was
Dudley c. Haskell, representing the
Topeka, Kansas, district. In physical
appearance lie seemed to be properly
classed with that courageous and
much-enduring body of pioneers who
opened much OF the great west beyond
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. In
height he almost reached the unusual
stature of Abraham Lincoln There
was not an ounce of superfiuous flesh
upon his long, gaunt body. Yet every
movement indicated great muscular
strength, and although his step was
somewhat slow, almost shutting, be-
ing in decided contrast with the vigor
and incessant activity of his arms.
the difference was explained by the
fact that he suffered some disability
on account Of wounds received while
he was a soldier in a Kansas regiment
in the Civil War. His beard was like
that OF a prophet, long, flowing and
silken. His hair was thick, apparent
ly rebellious, and very heavy, bushy
eyebrows almost concealed his eyes.
His voice had a singular. penetrating.

CARNEGIE's FABULOUS WEALTH.

GONE idea of the vast accumulatons Of wealth
~ in the hands of a few in this country can be
gained from the testimony of Mr.. Carnegie before
the Stanley Committee in Washington. Mr. Car
negie has evidently treated his appearance before
the committee as something TO be considered light
ly, but the committee is engaged in serious bus
ness.
According to his testimony Mr. Carnegie sold
his steel manufacturing business to the syndicate
for S450,0000O0 aud he expressed regret that he
did not get SlO0O00000 more, which he might have
done. No wonder he can afford TO give away mil
lions to the public All this vast fortune has been
accumulated since the war.
What the founders Of our government would
have thought of the accumulation by one ndivid-
ual of so vast a sum can hardly be imagined There
is nothing in history to equal the Carnegie riches.
Seneca with his estimated Si2,000,000 excited the
cupdity of his Roman fellow citizens Estimates
Of the wealth of Croesus are only those of imag-
nation. Ii is probable that the wealth of the
richest Of the ancients has been greatly exagger-
ated. No one of them could compare with Mr.
Carnegie.
Years ago the wealth Of some Americans, the
Astors, and the Vanderbilts excited comment on
the part of European students of social conditions
Professor eide once wrote that the American
mult-millionaires we're monsroSities just as abb
normal as it would be TO see a number of men ten
feet tall. As such men would be unnatural in the
ordinary world so are the OarnegieS monSuoslues
in the financial world.
Mr. Carnegie has every kind of reason to be
optimistic and contented, that is, if the possession
of huge wealth makes one contented. Fortunate
is it for him that he did not with his great wealth
live in the time OF Nero or some of the other
Roman tyrants. 1t is recorded that during the
reign of Nero the citizens of an island near Rome
complained that four rich men owned the island
and we're depressing the inhabitants. Nero con-
cIuded that the best way to deal with the trouble
and to furnish relief to the citizens was to cut off
the heads of the four rich men. They we're forth
with decapitated. 1t is not recorded whether con-
ditons became better. Nero would probably have
wished that Mr. Carnegie had dozen or so heads
had re been living then, so that they could all
have been chopped off and Nero would have con-
fscated the wealth
The great concentration of riches as illustrated
by Mr. CarnegIes possessions is at the bottom of
the social unrest and discomfort TODAY 1t would
be hard to convince the ordinary man that a social
system which enables man to accumulate so
vast and almost inconceivabe fortune while
thousands want for the necessities Of life is social
system that is permanently desirable without

A SPLENDID SHOWING.

a NE of the things to be talked about by the
~ boosters" of Wilmington is the splendid
showing made by the Office of Collector of the
Port Raymond.
AS printed in The Journal the other day the
amount received in duties through the local
Office during the past year exceeded that Of the
previous year by 240 per cent. Much of the in
crease was due to the imports received by the du-
Pont Powder Company and the Blumenthal Com
pany.
The latter formerly did all its importing through
the New York Office, and the imports now received
through the local Office climb into the millions
each year
Are there any local concerns that do not receive
their imports through the Office of Collector OF the

EDITORIAL OPINION
THE REAL PARTY HERO.


Buffalo News (Rep)
Mr. Bryan cannot get enough votes
to make him President, but he is the
one uncompromising tighter in the
Democratic party. He may make
money out of his prominence but his
countrymen are not going to rebuke
him for that What they do care for
in him is his refusal to take orders
from any man, and his sturdy battling
for what he wants, whether it be his
own advance to power or the over
throw of a fellow partisan.
The crowd will go further to hear
Bryan talk than to hear any other
Democrat, and will applaud him more
when listening than it will applaud
any other man in the party. He set
the National Committee by the ears
in Washington but the people like to
see him stirring up the animals and
follow him with unceasing interest as
he goes his way making things lively
for his opponents. He is a man who
has to be reckoned with even If inn
possible himself as a candidate.
One evidence of the great influence
of Mr.. Bryan over his party is in the
steady trend to radicalism of slch a
natural conservative as Woodrow Will
son, who has quite stepped down 20
the Bryan level on current questions.

OHIO POLITICS.

n HIO promises a merry fight over the cleo
~ tion Of delegates to the national conven-
tons. The other day the Ohio Progressive Repub
licans who are opposed to the nomination of
President Taft assembled and adopted a set OF prn
cipIes but failed express their choice for Pres
dent.
Governor Harmon, too, has opposition in his
own state, and not to be outdone by the Republi-
can Progressives the Democratic Progressives, So
called, held convention and perfected an organ
ization TO oppose Harmon. The latter convention
was made up principally of veteran politicians and
old-liners who supported Bryan during his several
campaigns, while the Republican Progressive con-
vention was composed chiefly of younger men.
The Republican delegates TO the national con-
vention in Ohio will be elected partly by the state
convention and partly by the voters themselves.
The delegates from the congressional districts will
be chosen by the people and the delegates at large
by the state convention 1t will be very easy there
fore for the people TO elect delegates for
Taft or against him, and the convention
will probably abide by the wishes of the
people as expressed at the primaries which
select the delegates from the congressional
districts. The people of Ohio can have delegates
who will actually represent their views.

appearing to exert himself in the
slightest.
Before the end of MIR. Haskell's first
term he gained reputation among his
fellow members not only for his pro-
found knowledge Of parliamentary law
and the precodents and decisions
based upon parliamentary law which
had been made by Speakers of the
House OF Representatives, but, in ad-
diiton, for au unusual capacity of in
stantly utilizing this knowledge when
ever parliamentary debate or dis
cussion on a point of order occupied
the House.
II was this peculiar knowledge and
ability which first brought Thomas
b. Reed and Dudley Haskell into
close and intimate association In the
latter part of Mr.. liaskells second
term his acknowledged pre-eminenoe
as a master of parliamentary law and
of all the precedents under il con-
tanned in the records of the House OF
Representative caused him TO be very
prominently named as the most avail
able candidate for Speaker Of the
House in case the next Congress were
not controlled by the Democracy, as IL
afterward proved TO be.
II so happened that in the spring OF

term began, there took place an inn

RAINBOW CHASING.

ATAIlONAL Democratic leaders are expressing
themselves as confident of a victory for their
party at the election next November but the New
York World warns them against rainbow chasing.
The World admits that there is to be no wakover
for the Democrats. Far from it, we might add
The World recalls that President Taft had
popular plurality of 269 S04 votes at the election
in 1908, and for this plurality to be overturned
there must be a change of some 100000 votes.
The path leading TO Democratic victory becomes
more difficult when the next electoral college is
considered.
In 1908 the Democrats had l62 votes in the cleo
toral college, but to win they must have 266 votes
in the next electoral college. The reply is that
Mr. Bryan was a weak candidate, but he poled
100000 more votes than Judge Parker did four
years previously. Then it is recalled that the
popular plurality for Roosevelt in 1904 was 2545,-
SIS, while the plurality for Cleveland in 1892 was
only 3S0,Sl0, although he had plurality OF only
9807 at the election four years before to over
come. In four successive presidential elections the
Republican candidate for President polled more
than 100000.
The World concludes therefore that "if the
Democrats think the next election is as good as
won they are sadly mistaken They have a fight
on their hands whether or not Mr. Taft is re-
nominated No doubeAthis assertion is true
no matter who ny be named as the Republican
candidate the party will display the great fighting
qualities that it has manifested on all such oc-
casons in the past, and when the campaign begins
the Democrats will find that they will meet
political foe that will battle to the last ditch AT
present there may be some internal disagreementS
as TO candidates and policies but that the Repub
lican party has lost its skill in conducting cam
paigns is not TO be thought of.
