Republican prints a private letter from. Senator O. H. Piatt of that state, called out by the report that Mr. Andrew Carnegie has given $200,000 to found a free public library in Alle- gheny City, Pa. Incidentally Mr. Platt 8ays: “Andrew Carnegie is one of the com- paratively few rich manufacturers of the country—I think he is at the head of the EdgarThomson Steel Works, a firm that employs 6,000 men, more or less—a Scotchman, or of Scotch descent, but a thorough American; still a young man. He has_ just written a vivid history of our progress during the last fifty years, the name of the book bninfi “I'riumphant Democracy,’ [ think. He has been called a socialist, but if there were more such it would be better for the country. I divide socialists into two classes, the Lord’s so- cialists and the devil’s socialists. He belongs to the fivst class. He is one of the very rich men in the country who know how to spend money sensibly—wlsoly for the comm\mii{ m wkich he lives, and wisely for himself, In these days, when the ons of the less favored and poorer classes seem to be arouged against those who acquire wealth, such & mhn is a ben- factor whose gencrosity reaches far be- yond the circle in which he moves. Not- Withstanding appearances I, for one, do not believe that our eitizens who are ‘to fortune and to fame unknown’ have any real objection to the acquirement of for- tunes by those who have the qualities which enable them to grow rich. The ory against ‘rich men’ is really ugainst the methods of obtaining wealth so pre- valent at the present time, and against the uses men make of wealth. Many fortunes are made by methods which T o T BT £ inequitable, if not dishonest. The sl‘Y]u and object of expenditure of money by people 1s often exasperating in the last)degree. Such acquirement and expenditure naturally excite the antagonism of those who still possoss a senso of Justice, and who, sl hope for the elevation, instead of the degredation of the masses. , But Iam firmly convineed that the poorest laborer when he listens to his better judgment, is not envious of the man who, by enter- priso, energy and thrift accumulates a ortune, and sensibly and wisely uses that fortune. Anarchists and commun- ists may rebel jn the delusion that the way to reach the highest social state lies througi the destruction of all property, but the true citizen knows that the best }uod of the whole neople is only to be lound under national conditions where property may not only be acquired, but will suruli‘ be protected, It is not wealth that is to be deplored in the body politie, but 1ts improper acquisition and its im proper or foolish use. We call a man sudden wealth by question- and then apes the style and extravagance of foreign aristocracy s ‘snob,’ and there is a world of American sentiment expressed in the comage of the word which we have invented to con- vey the measure of our disgust. It is the millionaire ‘snobs,’ and not the million- aire Carnegies, that imperil our republi- can institutions." Dr. J, ©.

A Natural Born Soldler Who Died A Soldier's Death, “Just after the Cus ter massacr said a soldier who appear some reason, to b in a t ive and confidential mood, "I wi 1king to a ut who was one of the first party that atrived upon the field of slaughter.” He told me that he saw any humber ot cavalrymen with their hunting knives in their hands, with the Dblades broken, and it was evident that they had been killed wh ndeavor: ing to extract the eartridge shells from the barrels of their earbines. You see the idea is, with these breech-loading carbines, that after the shot is fired the empty cartridge shell will be partially ex- pelied when the barrel is raised and then it is easy enough to pull it out, but these carbines Custer’s men had, or somo of them, were ill made, and after the first round had been fired these poor fellows had to take their hunting knives and dig out the shells. Of course, while they were 8o engaged the Indians’ were pour ing a hot fire into them all the time, and it is more than probable that scores of them w hot down after firing their first and only round. It scems too bad that these brave troopers should have been thus sacrificed, for, if their guns had been in good condition, Custer and his less than 400 mon could have probably stood off Sitting Bull and nis 2,500 riors. The seventh regiment is composed of tighters, you can bet, and braver men than those who died with Custer never rode a horse or wore a uniform. By the way,I sce that General Sturgis, for so many years the soloncl of the Seventh, has been retired. He had a boy a8 fine a young fellow as ever d'killed with Custer, and he, though commanding the regiment was in St. Louis at the time in the enjoyment of a nice, easy position there. He wrote a letter to a St. Louis paper reflecting on Custer, who was the lieutenant colonel of the regimont, intimating that Custer had pushed his oflicers to the front while he himself remained in the rear. This was pretty talk on Sturgis' part_against Cu ter. “Why wasn't Sturgis, the colonel of the regiment, at tne front himself, where nhe ought to have been? And then he im- pugned Custer’s bravery when Custer was dead, something no man would have aved to do nad Custer been aliv “Custer was very sev and some even went 5o ‘the hero of the lash.

But then Sturgis, during the war had some of his men whipped for stealing vegetables out of rebel gardens in Missouri, and if some of those men ever get sight of Sturgis they'll be apt to lay him out. However, Sturgis was no fighter and € He'd rather fight than do an and die loved to send his troops, or lead them rather, into battle to the tune of ‘Garry Owen,' or somcthing brisk like that. "One of his old men, a fireman now, says that the regiment camo on an Indian village early one morning.

The vilf. ze was at the foot of a slight de- clivity and_the regiment was formed at the top. The band wa 1 to the right, on a little knoll, and ruck up ‘Garry Owen’ Custer’ shouted ‘Charge!” Away the regiment wernt and it wasi’t more than a few minutes before it wiped that village out of existence. s ter hated the Indians and they had no love for him.

Andthis in e of the fact that the ther- mometers are indicating 90 in the saade, So long have they gone through this riga- marole of idiocy that they fail to notice the superfluity of their remarks. And they haven’t originality énough to keep their mouths shut. The practice has become almost unen- durabte, and strangers so often apply it to you that one often feels tempted to reply in the same strain as did Burdette | when a fiend told him it was cold. The humorist unbuttoned his coar, began fan- ning himself, and said: “f don't find 1t 80, *'Pretty good wlumhixfi:.” re- joined the other. “No," suid Burdette *there’s nosnow, and it's very warm an dusty.” The granger moved off a siep, and sa f you ain’t crazy you're an awful liar,” “Good man,'” siid Burdett, ST expeet I am, but I am not a fool. 1 may tell startling lies, but I do not talk like an ass; and I sould be thought a liar and a maniac rather than an imvecile. 1 do pot come into a car where the ther- mometer marks threo degress below zero and tell a living, breathing, intelligent, sensible man, that it is cold, Ido not watch sleighs spianing by and then at- tempt to instruct, amuse or startle him by telling him the sléighing is good. [ would rather astonish a man than bore him. In order to astomsh him 1 may have to lie to him, but that is better than boring him You might as well sit down and tell me that twice two is four as to tell me that it is cold. You might as well tell me that George Washington is dead ag e Umlsuighiu% sgood, Go uway, good man, go to sleep. “Itell you it is fine; there 15 no snow, there is ‘dust, and th are roses, I walked frem th. aorth pole this morn- ing. Go, get thee to a nunnery, and when you can model your cony ition on something beside the United States signal service roports, came and awake me up and bold me in the matchless ehsrm of your instructive talk.” 1f you buy lumber anywhere without first ~ getting Hoaglands prices you will lose money.
