The record cf contributions to bene
fit mankind, luring the last year, in

ty, $200,000.
Mercy Gray, Oakland, Cal., to
churches, $200,000.
Iucien Moss, Philadelphia, to chari
ty, $200,000.
TJie total amount of these gifts is
$11,176,000. Gifts innumerable in
small amounts are not recorded.
The direction of these large gifts
makes an interesting study. The don
ors belong to all denominations. The
largest of all "during the year, that of
Baroness Ilirsch, .not mentioned above,
fcecause it is not an American gift, ex
ceeds the total amount of all other
gifts. The undenominational schools
and colleges receive the largest share.
The benevolent associations follow.
Since the charities have come under
the management of business men, the
gifts have greatly increased.
The churches receive only $4GS,000.
Direct bequests to churches do not ap
pear to be favored by the rich. The
bequests indicate a dislike of sectarian
ism. Whatever tendencies these gifts in
dicate,: they clearly demonstrate the
indifference of Americans to the estab
lishment of "families" and the creation
of .large estates which may last for
generations.
THE MOB WINS.
The strikers have won a victory in
Cleveland over the street railway com
panies. But it is a victory of the
mob. The railway company was able
to fill thi? places abandoned by thq
strikers. There were an abundance of
American citizens who were -anxious to
get employment. The mob said "lo
these citizens: "You shall not get em
ployment, there is no law which for
bids it, but we will make the law for
the case."
While indignant men In the North
are complaining of the social anarchy
arising out of lynch law at. the South,
the mob .made lynch- law in the North,
which was not suppressed by the State.
While the State refused to protect the
railway companies, and ' the citizens
seeking work, it also forbade the com
' panies to protect themselves by a force
of their own.
All this ihas taken place in a city
which was built up by the settlers
from New England.
But, after all, there is no serious
danger 'to republican institutions in
these disturbances. They are only the
conflict of the social forces which are
gradually adjusting the industrial sit
uation. There is no general defiance of
law and order in acts of the mob, but
a defiance of special laws. The ten
dency is towards danger, but the dan
ger point will not be reached.
As there are no legal methods of ad
justing differences between labor and
capital, illegal methods will be used.
The Constitutions and laws protect
and guarantee political rights. That is
the first step in progress. In due time
there will be constitutions establish
ing and protecting social rights. The
mob is, unfortunately, the agency for
making clear what these rights should
be. As the intelligent men will not
come together and frame wise social
constitutions the only way to secure
them is by acts which are forbidden j
by human law.
THE AUTUMN FESTIVAL.
t ;
t
The promoters of the Autumn '
Festival to be held in Chicago during
the month of October propose u in- !
vite Aguinaldo and his staff to become '
their guests. They assume tha: the ;
Filipino hero will be conquered before'
that time, and as a conspicuous guest
at the Festival will attract as much if
no more attention than the President
will. Mr. Edward Atkinson and the
venerable Senator Hear may keep their
consciences void of offense by acting !
on the committee of reception. Ifj
Aguinaldo is captured and becomes a !
prisoner of war will the government j
permit him to visit the Autumn Festi-!
val and serve as the "drawing card?"'
Here at once arises one of the per
plexing questions created by democra
cy. If the 0,500,000 of citizens who
voted the Democratic ticket wish to
confer upon Aguinaldo some honors
shall the 7,000,000 of citizens who
voted the Republican ticket oppose
them? If these millions of Democra
tic voters believe that Aguinaldo rep
resents true democracy, and self-government,
why should the millions of
Republican voters prevent them from J
exercising the inalienable rights of
freemen? If Senator Hoar wishes to
deliver an address of welcome to the
"second Washington," as he calls this
insurrectionist, should he not have :he
privilege of presenting him to th? peo
ple in person?
On the other hand, after this worth
less and corrupt mongrel has been
conquered shall the government allow
the people to fondle him at the Fes
tival? Is it for the Executive, to de
termine how much fondling of an
enemy, who has slaughtered our bo3,
may be permitted, under our institu
tions and creeds?
When, in 1879, one hundred and fif
ty cApache warriors were captured and
imprisoned in St. Augustine. Florida,
after they had cruelly murdered wo
men and children in Arizona, the
young ladies who were spending the
Winter months in the place flirted with
the young braves. The commanding
officer, therefore, refused to permit the
young women to visit the fort in which
the Indians were confined. Thereup
on the young ladies indignantly pro
tested against it on the ground that
neither the Constitution or the laws of
the United States prevented free born
American girls from shaking hands
with, or making love to, Indian pris
oners. And the commanding officer
withdrew the order. So that there is
here involved another perplexing ques
tion. The Advertiser suggests to the pro
moters of the Autumn "Festival that
instead of presenting "Aguinaldo to the
people, that they secure the presence
of all of the convicted murderers in
the States, .who are awaiting execu
tion. If two hundred of these wretches
were placed upon a platform, with
nooses around their necks, and were
provided with a "sumptuous repast"
before the multitude, the scene would
be the best drawing card cf the Festi
val. Besides, as each convicted mur
derer usually kills only one person, the
spectacle would be highly moral, in
comparison with that of exhibiting
Aguinaldo who has killed venil hun
dred iople and now is r.Ccd as a
"double-dyed villain."
As the matter now stand, it is nv.
probable that Aguinaldo can lo uvur
ed in time for the Festival.
