TI10 resemblance between a meeting

much closer than even the metaphor

What Makes Socialists.
That theie are ways lo circumvent
nlmost any law la oil-established; but
usually they me Ullllcult and Involvo
considerable trouble. It remained for
the lato Jay Gould to discover the
neatest and sllckest method on record.
One of the ptovlHlons of his will Wg
that $5,000,000 from the estate should go
to George Gould for services rendered
during the period since he became of
ago or about 10 ycais. In other
wnrdp, for the assistance ho had ren
dered lils father and for the work he
liail clone In looking after the Gould In
terests after Ills father's death, George
was to jecelve a salary of $1100,000 a
year. The controller of New York at
tacked ihls nrovlslon of the will In
the courts, claiming It was equivalent
to a legacy, and therefore amenable
to the Inheritance tax, but a majority
of the appellate division of the Su
premo court of the Kmplre state has
recently held that it lay within Jay
Gould's right to estimate his son's
services at his own valuation, and that
the will's recognition of those services
amounts to proof of a contract which
Is not affected by the Inheritance tax.
It will be perceived that this decis
ion virtually nullifies the inheritance
tax, since any father can by a similar
arrangement pass his fortune down to
lils hon us salary rather than as a
legacy, and the law cannot Interfere.
The salary lating, too, Is not open to
iev!ev. It Is a private contract which
in the light of the foregoing decision,
however presumtlvely fraudulent in in
tent, the courts must respect. It is
pointed out by a writer In the Spring
field Republican In an article on this
peculiar decision that although the
Gould estate was appialsed at $81,000,
000, George Gould is allowed more
than six times as much salary for
managing It as Is paid to the president
of the largebt life insurance company
In the world, who administers a prop
erty woith more than $1!00,000,000.
It may be said that If Juy Gould
can dodge the tax gatherer the poor
man has an equal chance to; but such
an nssertlun would haidly fit the
facts. Assuming that tho New York
Supieme court would have decided for
a poor defendant piecUely as it found
for the Gould estate, the fact iemains
that only a wealthy estate could afford
to defend such a will as Jay Gould's
in a jurisdiction so expensive. From
any standpoint such episodes as this
leav? upon tho mass.es the impression
that trickery has triumphed over
right, and they constitute a consider
able fepilng of popular discontent.
And so Major Moses P. Handy of
Chicago is to boss our exhibit at Paris
in 1600. The president couldn't have
chosen a better man.
The True Peace Policy.
Very sensible and timely advice Is
offered by the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
when, In an article reviewing our
foreign relations, it says: "So far as
can bo foreseen, trouble is not immi
nent with Japan or any other country,
but the possibilities of It are obvious
enough to demand preparation to meet
it If it should come. The way to avert
danger is to bo ready to repel It. Work
strengthening the coast defenses and
the navy Mwuld be started at once.
It would be folly for the United States
to Imagine that its isolated situation,
Its peaceful disposition, and its great
wealth nnd general resources afford It
a perpetual immunity from attnek. Its
resources Incite jealousy in more than
ono nation of the world, Its peaceable
ress excites a distrust of its fighting
strength, and Its long and exposed coast
line invites assault. In thesp days of
Hawaiian, Cuban and seal fishery
complications, with tho chances of ag
gression from somo nation or other
which the convergence of those contro
versies creates., wisdom demands that
the United States should be prepared
for all possible trouble, come from
whatever quarter It may,"
It is well in this connection to recnll
the ndvice offered by James G. Blaine
In his celebrated letter written from
Florence, Italy, in 1SS7. It does little
good, he said substantially, to lock tho
stable door after the horso Is stolen.
Every tlmo we turn the latch on our
outer doors at night and prepare to
retire we do not exactly expect to bo
visited by burglars, but we feel that
it will conduce to tho pcacefulness of
our sleep If wo know that should tho
burglars conic, they could not get in.
While tho United States does not ex
pect war and hopes never to have oc
casion to use tho big guns and fortifi
cations erected at somo points along
our exposed coasts, their cost is a
species of national insurance) which
would prove decidedly "beneficial If tho
remote contingency of war should
arise. Tho fact that unfriendly foreign
writers In speculating upon tho prob
able plan of attack upon this country
in case of a war between It and a
foreign power Invariably designate- our
coast cities ns tho most exposed points
within reach of an enemy's guns ought
not to bo Ignored by those who havo
tho country's welfare in keeping.
Tho right Idea was expressed the oth
er day by Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Roosevelt when lie urged upon
Americans living near tho great lake
tho necessity of equipping themselves
for volunteer service as men-o'-wars-merr
In an emergency, Mr. Roosevelt
realizes and acts upon tho belief that
the surest way to preserve peaco Is to
Jot those who would break It know that
the consequences would be unpleasant
to them. The expansion of our com-
incrclal interests upon tho highways of
the world's comnierco; the assumption
by us through tho modernized Mon
to doctrine of primacy and paramount
Inllticnco nmong the nations of this
hemisphere nnd the Inevltablo friction
which theso developments of national
stature and tank must occasion with
Jealous foreign powers whom by nat
ural evolution we are bound to crowd
out of our way all these things are
reasons to foreseeing men why no halt
should be peimltted In ndvy-bulldlng
and coast-dcfcnding until tho territory
Of tho United .States is deemed to bo
secure nnd tho strength of tho United
States upon the high sevts such ns to
Invite International respect of Ameri
can claims and rights.
Such Is the policy which truly makes
for peace.
The Inclusion of John G. McAskle.
esq., In the executive committee of tho
state Uuslncs Men's league Is Inter
esting In a double sense as showing a
complimentary recognition of him and
ns attesting the lmpottnnco of Scran
ton as a political center. Kvldently tho
politics of the near future In theso
parts will not suffer from dullness.
Interpreting: Franchise Legislation.
An Interesting conflict between state
and federal authority Is on In Indian
apolis. The last legislature passed a
law that In llrst-class cities street rail
way companies must not charge more
than a three-cent fare. The Indlan
apolis street car company refused to
obey It and when threatened by the
municipal authorities sought from
Judge Showalter, of tho federal court, a
retaining injunction. This ns grant
ed, the Judge holding that tho state
act was special legislation nnd there
fore in conflict with tho Indiana con
stitution. Tho question of constitutionality was
later raised before tho state supreme
court, and the three-cent act was up
held. It being the uniform practice of
federal courts to accept the opinions of
state courts as to the constitutionality
of state statutes, the city authorities
hereupon nsked Judge Showalter to
dismiss the injunction proceedings in
his court Inasmuch as tho act which ho
had pronounced unconstitutional from
a state standpoint had by the highest
stato court been held to be constitu
tional. He refused, not, Indeed, be
cause he assumed to bo tho proper
authority to interpret the Indiana con
stitution, but because he held that the
original charter and ordinance under
which the street car company had col
lected five-cent fares constituted a con
tract, which under the United States
constitution is Inviolable except with
the consent of both of Its parties.
This point will be carried on appeal
to the United States supreme couit,
and Its decision will be awaited with
genuine Interest. If an ordinance af
fecting so vital a matter as the rapid
transit of an urban population may
not be modified in any of its terms by
subsequent stato legislation changing
the state charter on which tho ordin
ance originally rested, then it will im
part added responsibility to the oltlce
of councilman und make doubly requis
ite forethought and honesty 1 n the
award of franchises.
The Dlngley bill puts zaffer on the
free Hat. Wliat is zaffer?
Sensible and Practical.
In the compliment paid by the Phil
adelphia Times to Judge Savldge of
Northumberland county upon the rules
which ho last year adopted for the
naturalization of aliens, eveiy citizen
who cares for purity in citizenship can
most coidlally Join. On Sept. 22, 1800,
Judge Savldge stated that he would
naturalize no ono who had not a famil
ial Uy with tho federal constitution ami
with our method of government, statu
and national. He further required that
each successful applicant muat bo ablo
to write his own nnme and lead suf
ficient English to make up his ballot ln
telllgentl. Ho likewise insisted that ap
plicants should show a central knowl
edge of tt-o government, customs, his
tory and geography of the nation of which
they had been former subjects, and of
the customs, history and geography of
tho United States, holding that an appli
cant who could not du this was not capable-
of making an Intelligent cholco bo
tween two (sovereignties. In short, ho
held that no one should be naturalized
who is without tho general Intelligence
of tho average schoolboy, on tho ground
that as schools aro maintained to educate
citizens it would be an unwho discrim
ination In favor of foielpn Unorance to
mako citizens of those who wtio not up
to the standtrd required of thf native
born. Tho room In which the naturali
zation court Is held Is fitted u? wltn
apartments In Imitation of a voting booth.
Every applicant Is tlrat n-qulred to wilte
hlu name and address. This weeds out a
largo percentage of tho applicants. Thoso
who pnss the test successfully aro hand
ed a book or newspaper nnd required- to
read a selected article Those who fail
aro rejected and tho rest arw then put
through a course of questions as to our
system of government as well as that
under which they have formerly lived, and
as a final test aro required to mako up a
ballot and show that they understand tho
process of votlnor.
"No Intelligent citizen," comments
our Philadelphia contemporary on this
programme, "will bo able to find In tho
rules of the Northumberland court and
Its method of application a single re
quirement that Is not sensible, practi
cal and entirely justifiable. The only
criticism that can be offered upon them
Is that they should have been adopt
ed by tho first naturalization court held
under the constitution of the United
States and rigidly enforced by every
court down to tho present time." It
being now too lato to cry over tho
mistakes of the past, let thero bo de
termined effort not to permit their con
tinued repetition.
Not tho least advantageous featuro
of the prosperity which Is now setting
In Is that it is not speculative "but sub
stantial. To Popularize Higher Education.
The August Cosmopolitan makes an
nouncement that it has arranged to
provide university training absolutely
free to persons who can devote only
a part of their time to educational
purposes. It does not go fully into the
details of tho plan, reserving them for
a later Issue; but enough Is said to
indicate that It means to employ some
thing resembling tho Chautauqua sys
tem, under the guidance of an eminent
educator possibly exPresldent An
drews, The course of studies will, it says,
be "worked out with, referenco to tho
real needs of men and women In tho
various walks of life; and will be Ue-
signed not only to produce broader
minds, moro cultivated Intellects and
glvu greater fitness for special lines of
work, but to mako better citizens, bet
ter neighbors and glvo a happier, high
er type of manhood nnd womanhood."
Tho aim Is high, but the! character of
the man who Is possessed by It, Mr,
John Urlsben Walker, is a gunranty
that It will be realized If money, onergy
nnd executive skill can accomplish so
much. Mr, Walker Is ono of the grow
ing number of so-called "millionaires"
who, In fortunate relief from mere
speculators und acquisitive sharks,
recognize In the possession of largo
means correspondingly largo obliga
tions to society. He inclines In theory
toward an Intelligent socialism, but
realizing tho Impossibility of reaching
such nn Ideal stato all nt once, docs tho
next best thing by trying with his
gifts and means to lift the common
level up.
It Is premature to express any opin
ion as to the feasibility of this latest
attempt by Mr. Walker to contribute
to tho general welfare; but it Is a good
deal to have had tho will nnd the
courage to make so praiseworthy a
venture.
As evidencing tho disinterested opin
ion of those who are personally uncon
cerned, this expression by the Wash
ington Post is interesting: "It Is for
tunate for Pennsylvania and especially
so for tho Republican party that Gov
ernor Hastings Is not afraid or disin
clined to use the veto power. He has
made free and Judicious use of It on
various occasions, and whatever may
be his political fortune in years to
come, he will be entitled to grateful
remembrance for honesty and fearless
ness In the discharge of his duty."
Says the Toronto Globe: "The chief
lesson (of the Dlngley bill) for our
business men is to place little depend
ence In American trade till the people
of that country come to their political
senses." No, the new tariff law wasn't
framed to benefit Canadians.
Tho free traders keep up their jab
bering against the Dlngley tariff, of
course; but the only kind of argument
which will make any Impression here
after on the public mind will bo tho
cold, irrefutable argument of visible
results.
An indiscretion by a woman Is some
thing which society apparently cannot
forgive; but If it Include a man, he be
comes Immediately ollglble to ofllce.
The secretary of the treasury Is
aware of a "popular demand" for cur
rency reform. Mr. Gage evidently has
a nose for news.
It will take a great deal bigger bark
than tho Popocracy possesses to scare
prosperity away.
Romance of the
Neu) Gold Fields
From tho Chicago Times-Herald.
Clarence J. Merry Is tho llarnoy Bnrnn
to of tho Klondike. He took J130,000 from
tho top dirt of one of his claims in flvo
months. Ho kept it all but $22,000, which
ho paid to his miners. Ho did not have
to glvo his wifo even so much ns pin
money. Sho had a pan of her own. Sho
would occasionally get time from her
sewing and mending to drop around to
tho dump. Sho sifted out $10,000 or so in
her hpatt' moments. This was her amuse
ment In thu strangest year's honeymoon
that Is recorded. Tho two started fifteen
months ago as blide and groom. Sho was
tho devoted sweetheart of n poor Fresno
farmer. They havo returned to San Fran
cisco with all kinds of gold dust, nug
gets and coin. They havo millions In
sight, nnd behind the millions Is a pretty
romance.
Berry wns a fruit raiser In the southern
part of California. He did not havo any
money. Thero was no particular prospect
that ho would ever have any. He saw a
llfo of hard plodding for a hare living.
Thero was no opportunity at home for
getting ahead, and, llko other men of the
far west, ho only droamed of tho day
when he would make n strike and get his
million. This was three years ago. There
had then come duwn from tho frozen
lands of Alaska wonderful btorles of re
wards for men bravo enough to run a
fierce ride with death from starvation
and cold. Ho had nothing to lose and all
to gain. He concluded to faco thu dan
gers. His capital was $10. Ho proposed
to risk it nil not very much to him now.
but a mighty bight three, years ago. It
took all but $3 to get him to Juneau. Ho
had two big arms, the physique of n giant
and tho courage of an exploier. Piesent
ing all theso as his only collaterals, ho
managed to squeezo a loan of $W from a
man who was afraid to go with htm, but
was willing to risk a little in letuin for
a promlso to pay back tho advance at a
fubulous rate of Interest.
Juneau was alive with men three years
ago who had heard from the Indians the
yarns of gold without limit. Tho Indians
brought samples of the rock and sand and
did well in trading them. A party of
forty men banded to go back with tho
Indians. Rerry wns ono of tho forty.
Each had nn outllt a year's mess of
fiozen meat and furs. It was early spring
wnen tms nrst natch or prospectors start
ed out over the mountains and tlin snnw
was as deep as tho cutp In the sides of'
me inns, uno natives paexcu tho sturc
to tho top of the Chllcoot Pass. It was
llfo and death every day. Tho men were
left 0110 by ono along tho cliffs.
Tho timid turned back. Tho wholo out
lit of supplies went down in Lako Ben
nett. Tho forty men had dwindled to
three Berry and two others. Tho others
choso to mako the return trip for more
food. Berry wanted gold. He borrowed
a chunk of bacon and pushed on. He
reached Forty Mllo Creek within a
month. Thero was not a cent in his
pocket. Tho single chance for him was
work with thoso more prosperous. His
pay was $100 a month. It was not enough,
and, looking for better pay, ho drifted
from ono end of the gulch to the other,
always keeping his shrewd eyo open for
a chanco to llx a claim of his own.
Thero wns a slump in the prospects of
tho district and ho concluded to go back
to tho world, Tho slump was not the
only reason. Thoro was n young woman
back In Fresno who hud promised to bo
his wife. Berry camo from the hidden
world without Injury and Miss Ethel D.
Bush kept her pledge. They wero mar
ried. Berry told his brldo about tho posslbll.
itlcs of Alaska. She was a girl of the
mountains. She said she had not married
him to bo a drawback, but a companion.
If he Intended or wanted to go back to
tho Kldorudo, she proposed to go with
him. Sho reasoned that ho would do bet
ter to have her at his sldo. His pictures
of tho dangers and the hardships had no
effect upon her. It was her duty to faco
as much as ho was willing 'to faco. Thoy
both decided It was worth tho try suc
cess at a bound rather than years of
common toll. Berry declared he know
exactly wherft ho could find a fortune,
Mrs. Berry convinced him that she would
bo worth more to him in his venture than
any man that over lived. Furthermore,
tho trip would bo a bridal tour which
would certnlnly bo new und far from tho
beaten tracks of sighing lovers.
Mr und Mrs. Berry reached Juneau fif
teen months ago. They had but llttln
capital, but they hnd two hearts that
were full of determination. They took
tho boat to Dycn, tho head of navigation.
Tho rest ot tho distance nnd distances
In Alaska nra long wns made behind n
team of dogs. They slept under n tent
on beds of boughs. Mrs. Berry wbro gar
ments which resembled very much thoso
of her husband. They came over her feet
llko old-rnshloncd sandals, and did not
stop nt her knees. They wcru mado ot
seal fur, with tho fur Inside Sho pulled
gum boots over these. Her sktrts weru
very short. Hor feet were in moccasins,
nnd over her shoulders was a fur robe,
Tho hood was of bearskin. This all mado
a most heavy garment, but she herolcnlly
trudged along with her husband, aver
aging about fifteen miles ench day. They
reached Forty Mile Creek a year ago in
Juno, three months after they wero mar
ried. They called It their wedding trip.
Klondike wns still a good way off, and
It was thought at first that tho claims
closer at hand would pay, Ono day a
minor camo tearing Into the settlement
with most wonderful tales of tho region
further nn, His descriptions wero llko
fairy tales from "Arabian Nights" ac
counts fitting actually the Fcenes in spec
tacular plays, where tho nymph or queen
of fancy land bids her slaves to pick up
chunks of gold as big as tho crown of a
hat. Berry told tho tale to his wife. Sho
said sho would stay at thu post while he
went to the front. Thero wns no rest
that night In the camp. Men wero rush.
Ing out pellmell, bent on nothing but get
ting first Into tho valley of tho Klondike
and establishing claims. Mrs. Berry
worked with her husband with might and
main, and before daylight ho was on tho
road over the pass. There were fifty long
miles between him and fortune, nnd ho
worked without sleep or rest to beat the
great field which started with him. Ho
made the track In two days. He was
nmong tho first In. Ho staked claim 10,
above tho Discovery, which means that
his property was tho fortloth one abovo
the first Aladdin. It was .agreed that
each claim should have COO feet on the
river the Bonanza. This was the begin
ning of Berry's fortune. He then began
to trndo for Interests In other sites. Ho
secured a sharo In three of the best on
Kldorado Crock. Thero is no one living
who can tell how much this property Is
worth. It has only been worked In tho
crudest way, yet Ave months netted him
enough to make him a rich man the rest
of his life. Thero aro, untold and Inesti
mable millions where tho small sum from
tho top was taken.
Berry wanted to bring his brldo to him
from tha settlement and ho proceeded to
build himself a housu. It was made of
logs. Ho built It solid and then sawed
holes for tho door and windows. This
was Into last summer. The thermometer
was getting accustomed to standing at 40
degrees below zero day in and out. Mrs.
Berry trudgtd through the nineteen miles
of hard snow nnd took her place In tho
hut with her husband. There was no floor
but tho snow bank. It cost the couple
$300 a thousand feet to get firewood
hauled, and thoro was but little chanco
to uso fuel save to thaw out the mooso
and caribou which the Indians peddled.
Tho bride and groom kept warm by cud
dling a thing somewhat unknown In
civilized communities, but absolutely nec
essary with tho mercury disappearing In
the bulb and wood worth its weight in
gold. They endured all the hardships
without complaining, since by this time
they knew they had reached thu golden
pot nt tho tip of the rainbow.
This now gold king and queen mado
the first strike of a year ago In Novem
ber. They wero working along Eldorado
Creek, a branch of the Bonanzo, which
empties Into the Klondike about two
miles above Dawson City. Their slto was
tho fifth one above where the first dis
covery had been mado In this particular
region. It took nearly n month to get
Into paying dirt, but when the vein wns
opened It was simply awful. The first
prospect pannod $2 and $3 to the pan. It
giew suddenly to $23 nnd $50 a pan, and
kept increasing. It seemed they had
tapped a mint, and one day Mr. and Mrs.
Berry gathered no less than $593 from a
single pan of earth. This they have
saved In a sack by Itself, and the people
who have listened to tho strange stories
of the young man and his young wife
havo no fear that they havo been mis
taken. They have left no room to think
they aro not telling the truth truth
which seems probable in the face of
sacks and lumps of gold which they
havo not yet had time to send to mar
ket. They havo it piled up In their rooms
in the hotel In San Francisco.
Berry nnd his men worked live months
nt this claim. They thawed and washed
thirty box lengths or soli. This brought
him $130.0u0, out of which ho paid $22,000
for help. Ho then put fifteen miners nt
work In his best diggings and started
l.omo to get somo coin. He has acquired
five claims, all of which aro being work,
ed. He has not tho slightest Idea how
much ho Is worth. He has been away
from tho fields for two months. Ho
guesses that ho has at least $1,000,000
more ready for him by this time. It may
bo twice or three times that amount. He
has a good wagon load of the yellow stuff
In the safety deposit vault. Mr. and Mrs.
Berry have one of tho best rooms at the
best hotel on the coast. They have leaped
from poverty to wealth In a single twelve
month. tiii: scoKcunit must t;o.
From tho Times-Herald.
Tho homicidal Imbccllo should bo sup
pressed. Whether ho accomplishes his
murdeious record by shooting a friend
with n gun which "Isn't londed" or
drowns young women by rocking tho
rowboat, or leaves death In tho wake of
his bicycle, he Is an unmitigated nuis
ance. Inimical to tho public welfare, and
no measure which may bo brought for
ward for his discipline can bo too rigor
ously severe. In theso days when all the
world Is awheel tho scorcher Is easily
tho chief of homicidal cranks. Totally
regardless of the rights of others, he
courts danger at every turn of his wheel,
and. unfortunately, ho Is far more dan
gerous to others than to himself.
Hor.ico Greeley once said: "Tho way to
resumo Is to resume." The way to pre
vent scorching accidents Is to prevent
scorching. No one desires to lntcrfero
with what tho scorcher regards as his
inalienable right to discount Father
Tlmo's best porformanco; but tho public
has a right to demand that this bo dono
under conditions which insuro popular
safety. Banish the scorcher to the rac
ing tracks and tho recognized speedways
and compel him to curb his ambition on
the streots and boulovards. If he objects
to this needed regulation nnd Insists up
on endangering life and limb upon crowd
ed thoroughfares muko him feel the
heavy hand of tho law. Tho criminal
scorcher deserves tho severest penalty
prescribed by statute. Let him havo it.
