A Big Salary, But— The New York World estimates that Rockefeller's dividends this year will be twenty millions of dollars and from other sources fifty-five millions—a total of seventy-five millions that the people will pay him to keep him supplied with the necessities of life so lie can work for them! You may think this a rather heavy salary to pay one man—a salary greater than all the crowned heads of Europe draw. "But," says an exchange, "it is not too great a salary. Rockefeller is doing more for civilization than ho or you realize. He is doing more to concen trate wealth in the hands of a few, to show that private property must cen tralize in the hands of the cunning, to prove that doing business on a small scale is so wasteful that it cannot com pote with business done on a gigantic scale, to force people to question the safety of letting business be done for private profit, than all the social agita tors of the nation. "The worst luck we wish him is that he will succeed in getting all the property of the nation and all the other people have none. Then all others will have no interest in maintaining the present insane system. Ninety per cent of the individual business men of the nation will bo out of a job within the next ten years. Industry of all kinds will be monopolized and harmonized ready for the people who take it over and have no jar in the process. Rockefeller is all right. "One of these monopolists holding a hundred million of property said to a friend of mine recently, in response to the question, 'Where is all this monop oly going to end?' 'Well,' said he, 'there is only one end possible. The people will have to take all these properties in self-defense, but we wiil have a good time playing the game before they wake up to the fact.' And Rockefeller is doing more to hasten that day than any other living man." Get Out of Cubit. From the I'liilu. North American. Senator Hale's direct assertion that a powerful combination of capitalists and speculators in this country is scheming to prevent the withdrawal of United States forces and officials from Cuba is not satisfactorily met by Senator Spooner's declaration that we have given Cuba a better government than it ever had before and that "no one has thought of violating our pledge to Cuba." The obvious way to convince the Cubans that the pledge to respoct their independence was made in good faith is to redeem the pledge. No sufficient reason has been given for withholding the right from Cuba to manago her own affairs. Our promise was that we would restore peace and leave the island. There Is no pretense that a state of war exists today in Cuba or that the tur bulence of the population is so general that the presonco of American troops is necessary to protect life and proporty. The Cubans say they are able and ready to establish their own civil government, and are satisfied that the United States has done all that it was bound to do in restoring order after the war with Spain. They aro certainly justified in believing that thoy are capa ble of setting up as honest a government as we have given them. Fear that tho Cubans may not man age their public business with wisdom and oconomy is no longer an excuse for not permitting them to try the experi ment. If Cuban funds are to bo wasted or stolen, let the Cubans do their own squandering and thieving, and take the responsibility. COONEY'S CONFESSION. HI" Family and Neighbor* Dittcredit 11. What the Wife Says. From the Wilkesbarre Record. The family of the late William 11. Cooney, of East End, who made state ments concerning the Corcoran inurdor at Duryoa, discrodit the truth of the alleged confession, as do the neighbors. Cooney, it will be remembered, died at the City hospital, and when he saw that life's end was near he made cer tain statements to the officers which have been noted in the papers and which implicated himself and two others in the murder and robbery. A reporter called at the Cooney resi dence. One of the sons, Charles Cooney, said at the time of the Corcoran murder his father worked for Contract or Schruitt and slept at home, and, therefore, could not have been in Duryea. The.family knew nothing of the alleged confession until County De tective Johnson and Peter Baur came to the house and asked the mother some questions. The boy continued by saying that when his father drank himself sick ho was put in jail on the fake charge of larceny, and when they saw he was dying they put him in the hospital. "Detective Johnson came and took a revolver I had. He returned next day with Peter Baur and asked mother if my father confessed anything to her about a murder. We did not know what they were about and were dazed when we saw the story in the papers." Mrs. Cooney took the affair much to heart and was in deep grief. She is left with eight childron, the youngest two years old. JSho denied that her hus band ever said anything to her about being implicated in the Corcoran affair. She said: "Ho slept at home that night and got up at 0 o'clock next morning to go to work. I got the paper and told him there was another murder at Duryea. He did not pay much attention, as he was late and hurried to work. When he came home that night he began to tell me that 'Mike'Corcoran, the finest man in Pitts ton, was killed and I told him I read it to him in the paper that morning. My husband would not kill a chicken," sobbed the widow. The widow hoped the people would not think her husband guilty. I.eliigli Valley's Owners. From the Philadelphia Press. The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company is now considered a part of the Morgan- Vanderbilt interests. For years the Vanderbiit following have held large holdings of Lehigh Valley Railroad stock and it is not much over a year ago when Morgan-Drexel A Co. took up the option of 75,000 shares of the Packer estate stock. These two holdings givo the Morgan-Vanderbilt party practically control of the road. There are 800,000 shares of Lehigh Valley stock, but it is so scattered that there is not much more oyer 400,000 shares voted. At the last election, 437,900 shares were cast for each director. Captain John P. Green, first vice president of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, on April 28, stated that the Pennsylvania Railroad was not buying any of the Lehigh Valley stock, and even If it so desired it could not do so as it was contrary to law. The Lehigh Valley Railroad, he contended, was a competitor and his company had enough experience of this kind in the South Pennsylvania Railroad deal. The Le high Valley Railroad Company is now controlled as has been the case for some years by the Morgan-Vanderbilt inter ests, and the buying of the stock of late has been by those who aro Identified with them. It Is a part of the program for the Pennsylvania Ilililroad to look after the bituminous coal carrying roads, and the Vanderbilt-Morgan interest to take charge of the anthracite coal carrying roads. Lelilgliton Launche* a Circu*. With the opening of the circus season for 1900, Lehighton has launched a cir cus show which is now touring the country.

The four inon who were arrested at Mt. Vernon. N. Y., undor the auspices of the Luzerne County Sportsmen's Club on the charge of killing game last fall for shipment out of the state, were brought to Wilkesbarre last week. They are S. E. Thurton, Fred and John Hor roder, John Bauer and Thomas Oakley. The men were taken before Alderman Gaughan and after pleading guilty were fined SSO and costs each, amounting to $01.36 each, or a total of $306.65.
