A BAD INVESTMENT.
St. Louis Republic.
Caroegie and Frick contributed $150,
000 to the republican campaign fund in
1892, and it seems to have been money
thrown away. The Republic took oc
casion immediately after the fact of
such an extraordinary contribution was
well established to declare that it was
not given to secure higher tariff
schedules, for the McKinley law met
every requirement of the iron and steel
barons, nor to insure a perpetuation of
that law, since the introduction of
labor saving machinery and the en
forced reduction in the wages of their
employes under its operation had
proved their perfect independence of
that, rr nnv nthr law RRRiimincr to
- j - i
maintain the wages of workingmen.l
If, under the highest iron and steel
tariff ever known in this country,
Carnegie and Frick had been able to
reduce wages, it was clear that they
would be able to adjust themselves to
any changed conditions affecting their
business, and that it was not the fear
of change in the tariff laws which bad
prompted their munificent contribution
to the republican campaign fund.
There remained a reason, and a vital
one, however, why Carnegie and Frick
were interested in the success of the
republicans in that campaign. It was
stated by the Republic at that time
and the charge is now being borne out
in a remarkable way. The Carnegie
Iron and Steel company, limited, had
contracts with the United States gov
ernment for the manufacture and de
livery of armor plates for use in the
construction of new battleships then
being built. These contracts had been
made before the lockout at Homestead,
and after that lockout had been made
permanent and the company found its
skilled mechanics displaced with men
of less skill and capacity, it became
vitally interested in the appointment
of a secretary of the navy. The treat
ment of John Roach under a demo
cratic administration was a vivid
remembrance, and, although it had
effected a large annual saving in its
wage list, the rejection of its contract
work by the government would effect
the loss of all the gain from that source
and of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in profits in addition. A friendly
secretary of the navy was worth a
fortune to the Carnegie Steel company,
limited, in that emergency. It ac
cordingly contributed a fortune to the
support of Ilarrison.
Mr. Ilarrison was defeated. The
armor plates made by the Carnegie
company under the contract made with
me uarrison aaministration were
tested the other day. A republican
contemporary's report of the lest says
that it arzordeu "the first instance in
the history of the new navy where the
plates have made such a poor showing
against high-powered guns. The plate
tried represented seveial lots of armor,
in all about 500 tons. Two shots were
tired at the plate, the first to determine
whether Carnegie & Co. would secure
a premium and the second for the ac
ceptance of the work. Both tests were
unsatisfactory, and unless another
plate shows up better the entire lot will
be rejected by the government." If,
instead or secretary Herbert, the navy
department were now controlled by a
secretary of the Carnegie Steel com
pany, limited, would we have the
privilege of hearing of such defects in
the Carnegie armor? Would not the
Carnegie Steel company, limited, have
a chance to get its money back?

It seems to The Journal that it is

tails to publish this record in advance

Killed a Wolf.
xne carcass or a large wolf was on
exbibition at theCasino bar room Mon
day, atrophy of the prowess of John
Kinser with a shot gun. John was out
hunting rabbits iu the jungle north of
the water works pumping station yes
terday afternoon, and his "blooded"
dog had caught a rabbit's trail and
was following the scent. Mr. Wolf
was also on the scent and was follow
iog the dog's trail when John spied
him and unlimbered his gun, giving
him two loads in quick succession,
which Afforded a stopping place in the
wolf's earthly career. Wolves are a
rather scarce article in this neighbor
hood, and this one has evidently been
driven from across the Platte, in Sarpy
county, where several large wolf drives
have recently been held.

Harry Hill Explalna.
In Monday's paper there appeared
an item to the effect that the authori
ties had concluded to refuse ad
mittance to the crowd of visitors
who had been Hocking to the jail
almost daily since Harry Hill has been
confined there. Hill fears the people
might misconstrue the meaning of the
item and writes as follows:
1'lattsmoutu, Neb., Jan. 16, 1893
To the Editor of The Journal: Dear
Sir I noticed an article in your paper
last night concerning visitors to the
jail, and in order that the Christian
people may not misconstrue the mean
ing of the item 1 write tnese lines, and
request their publication.
There has been fewer visitors since
the new administration has been in
power than before. I do not know the
cause of this, but the kind and sym
pathetic people who call to at e me oc
casionally are among the most highly
respected citizens or the city, whose
characters are above reproach, and
who would be as far from assisting
any prisoner to escape as the guards
themselves, or even the authorities.
I am glad to see those people, who
as a rule come to speak a word of cheer
a word of hope, notwithstanding
there are a few who come through idle
curiosity, and who would do me a fa
vor and themselves, 'oo by staying
at home. It might bp inferred from
the article published in your columns
that I requested this order, which I
did not do. I have been asked on dif
ferent occasions by some of the very
beft peo1 le of Plattsmootb, for whom
I have the greatest respect, if I liked
or disliked to have visitors come to see
me, and I am sorry, very sorrv, that
this obnoxious item was published.
Respectfully, Harry Hill.

A Farting Vision.
Written for the Omaha World-TIerald.
Away In the west, when the sun Is low,
And the city lies In the sunset slow,
I sit and see with memory's eye.
Across the roofs where the white clouds lie.
A scene of beauty, pure, sublime.
That lifts my soul away from time ;
That carries me back to the days now past
And gives to my heart a rest at last.
My mother, she with the wintry hair,
And the white, pure face of an angel fair,
Her hand once more across my brow.
Weary and worn and troubled now.
Draws, and whispers of the Holy Writ,
Of the good, sweet lessons learned from it,
And the sweet, sweet face. In its soft, pure light.
Cautions me of the coming night.
And calls to my mind that sacred day
On the far blue hill of Calvary,
When the patient Savior on the cross
Asks for mercy for the one who's lost.
And I see the face with its beauty rare.
And the holy lessons written there.
Fade and fade, like a dream of love
Away, awa-, like a flying dove.
And Into the mist goes the vision sweet,
Into the land of dreams and sleep.
