JOHN HAY AND THE NEW AMERICA. GHOSE PERSONS who have the disagreeable habit of taking a gloomy view of our national condition and prospects should find encouragement in the personality and the diplomatic schooling of the late Secretary Hay. The plaint most common of late has been of some mysterious departure from the safe ways of the fathers in the conduct of our national affairs, especially in relation to the other nations. Not a few of the most conservative citizens have taken alarm and have helped to propagate a panic among the better sort of folks, for fear the good ship of state were breaking from her moorings in the sheltered harbor of an isolated and neutral existence to brave the perils and strifes of a world power. John Hay’s was the guiding hand during the seven years which marked the transition from the old to the new American diplomacy. How near it brings the days of the illustrious Lincoln when we stop to consider that the diplomat of the new “imperialism” was the secretary and close intimate of the martyr president throughout his tenure of the white-house! Hay’s first schooling in the principles of government was under the tuition of the great commoner, and none can doubt that the inspiration of all his after public life was derived from the example and precept of Abraham Lincoln. In this fact alone is the surest guarantee of the continuity of the principles governing our national conduct from 186s to 1905. It is the privilege of men of this generation to live in an America every way bigger than the America of Abraham Lincoln, with an ever-extending frontage of international duties and obligations. The country may count itself fortu- nate that, while adjusting itself to its world sphere, a man of the sound ‘American schooling and antecedents of John Hay had charge of the port- folio of the secretary of state. we How MEN and their vocations change. There is Morton insuring, Wallace is a skipper, and Loomis acting as pall-bearer. BY THE WAY, from the president’s evident predilection for railroad men for that canal job, there is reason to fear that, when the whole thing is done, it will be a railroad and not a canal at all. JHE BEST OUTCOME of the corporation craze to date is the sugges- tion that each indi- vidual incorporate him- self. Then, when he fails up, let the law go after the corporation, while the man goes on about his business. eee UITE a contract Mr. Lawson has taken to answer all questions satisfactorily or be hanged to a tree. But, then, he is talk- ing to questioners who don't do business at 26 Broadway, EEKSKILL and Milwaukee now explain that they did not really expe.: they would get the peace conference any of the time. Besides, each has still its own exclu- sive title to fame, as of yore. Carneoi—" Quick, Sandy, wi' a big pouch o' siller!

WHEN OUR MILLIONAIRES begin to hand out their congested wealth in lumps of ten million dollars at a clip it must be confessed the pace of philanthropy is getting pretty rapid. Mr. Carnegie for years has been doling out a million here and a million there in a sort of leisure! economical open-handedness, and other millionaires could keep along with- ina measurable distance and be counted as belonging in the same company. But a little while back the laird of Skibo began to double and treble his givings, and a kind of panic seized the small army of those who have money to burn. Mr. John D. Rockefeller seems to have entered the lists in earnest, and a million to a college and ten million to education, all within a single week, has broken the record for a short sprint, though Mr. Car- negie is still secure in the long-distance honors. The next move is Mr. Carnegie’s, and it ought to be something novel and immense—say twenty million dollars for the benefit of editors who are married and kind and good. It would also be a sensible and appreciated novelty if, instead of giving this money for their use when age and infirmity creep on, they could have it now in their youth, while the evil days come not when they shall say, “Whats the use?” If the race of money-flinging is on in good earnest, the public should get ready. There’s no telling where the dollars are going to rain down. Better have your hat ready. Ciicaco STREETS are caving in. cause of sinking-spell. Population showing probably ete ACCORDING to the latest estimate, the Panama canal will be com- pleted in good shape one hundred and ten years from next spring. eee THE CZAR Is said to have a peculiar aversion for some common Rus- sian words. The very mention of “‘Kniaz Potemkine”’ is said to make him sick. Bae 'HE GERM is vindicated. Dr. Charrin, French savant, finds that rab- bits cannot live on germless carrots. From this it is argued that we need plenty of good, live germs to keep us healthy. GOOD DEAL of talk about that twenty-four-million-dollar deficit. ‘ Everybody knew it was going to be eighteen million, sowhy the fuss over a little thing like six million more? eee R. FAIRBANKS Is astickler for the right grouping of words in a sentence. For in- stance, coming across the following head-line in a paper the other day, he quickly turned the page: “Root for president.” eee IS NOT generally known that Dr. Gladden and John D. Rockefeller were schoolboys together and country chums in theolddays. Although they drifted far apart, Dr. Gladden never lost track of his one-time playmate. rt Dina ye see whot yon mon is doing? * comicbooks.com
