After a liberal allowance for the expenses of the syndicate the lowest estimate of profits based on current quotations of the stock market 1s $56,600,000. It may be much more. On the earning)?

T Stay uP, Ubraries come out of the Steel Trust, whose bonds he holds to the amount of $300,000,000. Mr. Rockefeller, | ¢ of the Standard Ol!

It has been observed by those who go only infre- quently to the east side that the policeman’s club is a very active implement of authority there. The revela- | « tions before Mayor Low's Committee of Five shows how |. great an object of terror it is to the defenseless weak on whose heads {it descends with !mpartial force, men and women alike, Tho story which came out yester- day of “a mother clubped so that she had to be taken to the hospital” is sald to have “shocked the Commit- tee,” as well !t might. A single example of such an arbitrary misuse of authority elsewhere In the city would have created a sensation. On the east side it was an incident of painful nature, ‘but one to be suppressed because of the fear of others like it to follow In case of publicity. They know in Norfolk and Suffolk streets how far away they are from the public sentiment which on Madison avenue would have made the outrage a sub- fect for immediate investigation. They know also how expensive a legal process it 1s to secure justice. After the Committee had recovered from the shock they “heard about ten stories of similar oppression.” If the half were told the tale of persecution would amaze while shocking. Poaitive testimony is given that the recently lynched at Womelmorf, Innocent of any participation in the mumer. The diacoy ery will neither restore the victims to life nor punish the lynchers. THE TUNNEL HOLD-UP. Notwithstanding the positive assurances that all difficulties oyer the terms of the Pennsylvania tunnel contract problem had been amicably adjusted it ap- Pears that there are several obstacles yet to be over come. The opponents of the tunnel in the Board of Aldermen claim that they have a clear majority opposed to the contract, even as readjusted, and the problem of| Nis Rex-lmperator jo» rather than 19 overcoming thelr opposition is a serious one. It 18 proposed to allay the opposition by inserting an arbitration clause to cover the labor question. It ts doubtful whether this concession would be of avail. There js no more reason for making it part of the tun- nel contract than for making it part of the rapfd transit| ed his career as society reporter on a contract or any other contract for public work. The Aldermanic objections begin to look Nke an organized “hold-up” with a motive of personal interest| of pomp. behind. It would be most unfortunate if New York shonld be shut out from a great public improvement on such objectionable grounds.
