THE PLEASURE THAT MIGHT COME TO THEM FROM DOING GOOD. They Valt Too Lonr and Then Tlielr Hoarding Create Strife Fame to Fat ten tha Land Shark A Gentle Hint to U Third Tarty Orxanlirn. Tbo publicity recently given to the will of tho deceased inlllionairo, Fayor weathcr, of Now York, lias for the hun dredth tiino pat mo to thinking on tho question of Uio unea inado by tho rich of their wealth. Thla man, whilo well known in tho leather trade, wan not sup posed by any ono to bo tho possessor of even $1,000,000, and bo was nover hoard of in tho biff world until tho contents of his will were mado public. Then it wan discovered that ho had accumulated an estate valued at Boraetblng liko 5,000,000. Tbo contest for tho possession of a part cf thla great fortune will mako tho namo of Foyerwcathor well known to tho readers of newspapers. Tho thing that perplexes mo in that these rich men do not whilo alive do something with their money to benefit humanity, something that they can nee tho results of and enjoy before tlioy die. Tbero la always beforo them evidenco of the squabbling between relatives, ad ministrators and lawyers over tho prop erty rich men loavo, nud wills and testa ments do not prevent them. Why, then, do not soino of those men of vast wealth employ the most of it in doing good while they aro still hero to superintend it and can feel tho pleasure that coiuus from noblo actions? Surrounding tho very houso in which Mr. Fayerweathcr did business, and where ho accumulated his millions, there were and aro thousands of men, women and children suffering for tho bam nccf- sitie of life. His business house cast shadows upon miserable tenements in babitwl by wretched beings, human, liko himself. With one-third of tho.'l,000, 000 which his already wealthy heirs aro squabbling over ho could liuvo erected whilo ho lived n monument that would have lasted an long as tho memory of man. Instead of tho wrnugllng anil jangling of tho greedy over his grave, there would have been tho prayers and blessings of women and children rescued from n living death by his noble gun crosity. Singular that ho did not see tliis, and more singular that Uio hun dred of millionaires in New York who survive him do not see it. It does not, in my estimation nt any rate, fill tho bill that Mr. Fayurwoalhor left .',000,000 in bequests to a luiuilxir of colleges, AU that money will not give one crust to tho hungry nor make it easier for tho children of tho jioor to tecuro an education, It will cost just as much for a course in Yale or uuy of Uio institutions remembered as Ik! fori) tho bequests wore mode. Hut jtut think of tho good that fcJ.OOO.OOO could have donoin tho teuiimuiit district if carefully employed under tho direction of so gmxl a business man as Mr, Fayer weather was. I do not moan that he should have txxldltxl tho iiiouoy out iu temporary re liefs. With that vast sum ho could liave torn down tho old disease breeding flrotrajvs of ono of tho blocks clowi to his place of biudueos, and erected decent dwellings which ho could have runted at living prices, mid organised tho Inmates into a self helping Bocloty, AU theso poor wretches need is tho mean of eai u ing a rrepcctable livelihood. At least that is what tho "cranks" will coutliiuo to claim until tho effort has been mads and haa failed. It looks us if most of tho rich bolievo they can taLo their millions with Uiein when Uiey dlu from tho way thoy hold on to and scheme to add to them. It is proper that n man should wish to pro vide something for his family's comfort and happiness. Dut that so many should bo content to pile up millions for Uio ox elusive use of a few generally to Ik) luwed aud wnrrvil over while counties thousands around them aro hungry and ragged i ot right, either iu tho sight of Ood or man. The system Uuit makes Uto uiillionaire Is restoiuiblo for tho trsmp. They are children of tho same enul mother, but there is no brotherly affeo Uon between them. In tills commeroittl age the rule is to gut all you ran. and haiur on to it uuUl you die, when tho heirs mid lawyers will ! have a fight over it. Why, tho man w ho has uo money to leave, but was famous I In a military or political way, is not allowed by tho money gmblwrs to rust ' in pear iu Ids grave. In tho reoeut at-! tempt to remove tho remains of (leu. Grant from New York to WashliutUiu a plot of tho nl eatate sjHxuUtors rf the latter city was laid Iwiro. One land hark boldly stnUvl that tho refusal uf congrow to allow tho transfer of tha dd Boldier's bouea lwat hiiu out of a ofcaac to make a quarter of a million oh real raUto, and ho was rod hot about it. "To what base iuwm," eta, Tito movement to form a third party msuiM to be taking tangible ahai. if the ettorU of, promlmMit Alliance hmh are iwoundrd by Uee of other Industrial vrg&aluUuu it is probable that th uw jiorty will bo ut niUiut at tho nutting conference. Dot 1 must My, without wisliing to bo captious, that th call knued by the AUianoo is a coutmotl M to defeat tho attempt at a union of Uw independent force. It taks forth co-oirailon of "all induaUial crgsnlw tiona that fcopport too iiriuoiplc uf iM HU lioaisagnwwent," Thu will bo UUh to meant Hsro it your pbttfonni torn a4 Btaud upon It. This ocmfltvU with tbo idea most ioplo have of a ootifwr- aco ouctt as u dusirable. Tbo call looks a little like dieUttu; tHt it is mam thou, itkely that th int Jectors of tho movwet will bo wuig to Admit to the platform of a now party Me view of otW Industrial 4uinU WiWiU tf UxjAlUaw In that rwt h A will Immfv MoUir of tho lutaWtr yard platforms which have always bn crnshed nndor their own weight. As I hao said before, it seems to me tbnt a third party, to make any headway, most start upon a short and clear platform containing tho demand that all reform ers aro ready to make. It must not pre snt a score of different opportunities for objections to supporting it. I have loomed that the mass of voters will stand by tho old parties, which thoy know to bo wholly hid, rather than vote with a now ono if it happens to present a platform in which one plank in twenty is not entirely satisfactory. Thli may not bo admitted by all, but it is truo nevertheless. Tho commitloo having in chargo the arranging of tho February conforonce should chango their instructions to tho organizations and ray, Come, let iih form a now political party for the purpose of establishing tho rights of man in the United States. When tho delegated got together thoy can consider "tho princi ples of tho fjt. Louis ngreomont," and if tho conforenco is guldod by wisdom it will find in that agreement tho planks of which to rnako a platform, but it will lay some of tho clauses usido for futnro use. Another important step in establish ing tho eight hour day has lwen taken by Tho New York World. For ovor a year Tho Evening World, Evening Sun and Tho Mail and Express compositors havo been working on a weekly scale. Now the morning edition of Tho World, employing about BOO compositors, is gotten out by tho week inntead of under tho piece system. A day force, working nino hours, doert all of tho distributing, whilo a night force, working eight hours, sets up tho paper. The ncalo is ifaO per week or six days for tho day men, mid f!M for Uio night men. It is Raid that, with tho exception of a few men wlio used to work eighteen hours under tho piece scale, the change is jmrfectly satis factory. Several of tho most rapid com iwitors when spoken to said they were well pleased, and Uiought it Uio best thing that has occurred iu along time. One man wild to mo that not more than one in ten of tho force was "kicking." And tho olllce is satisfied. The only chango iu tho force is the addition of about twenty nubs to the list of regulars, but just what tho jfTect will 1h when everything Is fully adjusted no one can wiy now, Thoro nro those who think tho machines are to lie brought in, and that they will figure iu the case. As it looks at this writing Uiere is reason for congratulating thu craft on its long stride toward a general application of tho eight hour day, but it is nut yet quiio time to shout, Jos. It. IJuoiianan, t'liliin rnmviir. In tho course of a recent nddmw de livered lioforo tho Ethioul society of Chicago, Henry v. Lloyd said In labor striken IhUIi sides am at times in Uio wrong, but in nil issues the prin olple of but one stdooiiu lie light. The workingiimtfls often wrong, but his Is always the right side. We hoar Uio ury, "Union forever!" until the workitiKUmu forms a union, and then all is chnugwl to protest. A man who reprenHnts win blued Interests is called an attorney, a director or a broker, unless he stands for tho union of werktnginen: then ho Is twilled a labor agitator. Tho anti-trades union law, the decisions of judges in Now York, froe use of streets when on strike, tho use uf spies to Ixitrwy Uio ao- tion of lnlHirlng men all of tlieso am more or Iom otTorU to euslmo tho work lugmnii.

Funds fur thli Handsome Monument Kalscd by Member of "Ills 0" hih! riorace Oreelcy Post VTImt tlie Great Editor Had to Say Concerning Labor. Special OorraspoiK'enee Tho Horace Greeley stutne, the fnntls for the ertction of which were contrib uted mainly through tho esortions of tho printers of New York city, with the co-operation of those in other sections of tho country, is nearinij completion. Work hns been commenced in casting it in bronze, and on Memorial Day, 1891, if no unforeseen accident occurs, the statuototho printer-editor will be un veiled in City H-ill pari:, a locality where Greeley spent bo much of his time, aud oa which ha often Razed from his window on tho corner of Spruce aud Nassau streets. The exertions of those having the erec tion of tho memorial in chargo speak but one thing tho respect with which they hold tho memory of one of the greatest hearted of men and the unfailing cham pion of their rights. He was the iirst president of their union, No. 0, now gTown far above even his expectations. Tho history of the fund dates shortly after 1872, the year in which Horace Greeley died. Some of tho great Ameri can journalist's friends and admirers J formed tho Horace Greeley Monument association and collected subscriptions, but the movement to erect a fitting and lasting monument for ono reason or an other collapsed. Sixteen years pased and nothing was done until botne of Hor.ico Greeley s old employes in the grand army post named after him co-operated with a committee from Typographical Union No. 6 and decided that it was about time to per petuate the memory of ono they had revered. They obtained tho co-operation of tho New York Press club and Typo graphical Union No. 93, of Brooklyn, and determined to accomplish that for which they aimed. Tlie members of Uio joint committee-individually solicited subscriptions throughout the craft and from others whojiad admired Greeley's patriotism and genius, and a resolution was naped by tho International Typo grapliWil union asking the local unions throughout the country to subscribe. Tho Hon. Amos J. Cnmmings, who was on llio Tnbuno for many years, and Mr. Murnt Halstead delivered lectures in the west which helped to swell the fund. PUINTKia' STATUE OF HORACE GREELEY. Tho field seemel to havo been covered. indeed, but tho committee never Insr sight of the main point. Another statue to Horace Greeley, erected by Mr. White- jaw item privately, spurred them on. With all their exertions the committee now announco nearly $1-1,000 in the hands of the treasurer, Mr. E. Kellogg Wright, vice president of tho National Park Bank of New York. This is about $2,000 short of what they expected, but they still rely on the generosity of tho craft thonghout tho states. Mr. Alexander H. Doyle, a sculptor whose works ornament many cities throughout tho country, and whose grand Soldiers and Sailors' monument, erected in 1838 in Now Haven at a cost of fJO.OOO, is a fitting representation of his work, designed the statue of Horace Greeley, which has been pronounced by Uio latter's friends to bo a perfect repre sentation of hu lineaments nnd posture as ho was seen in his editorial room in tho old Tribnne bnilding. A word as to tlie man. From the publication of The New Yorkor, in 181, with Groaloy iu its oditor-in-chief, down to the time uf hia demise, ho covered nearly all brunches of journalistic art, and his diacuwions on slavery, agricult ure, etc., are well remembered.

A correspondent writing from Oregon to The Detroit Tree Pres calls attention to an outrage which seems to bo a part of the stock in trade of boomers. Sev eral times during the decade tho labor organizations of tho west have felt called upon to issue v irnings against the mis rerresentatioin of real estate speculators, notable among v Inch camo from south ern California about three years ago. The letter in Tho Tree Press said: Thero aro thousands of unemployed and homeless people in Washington and Oregon, caused by the false lights issued by the emigration board of Portland, Ore., and a new scheme is now being worked to induce laboring men to come here to work on tho railroad at big wagf-s and reduced fare. It is nothing but a scheme to get men to pay railroad fare, as there aro thousands more men hero than can possibly get work. Hundreds are arriving daily from Dakota, Min nesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Utah and niany other places, who aro hired there by the bunco steerers for the railroad compauies, and not ono in twenty gets an hour s work. They are building two or three short lines of railroad on the coast, but thero were more men than were needed for tho work beforo they began to rush in herefrom tho east, and it is remarked many times daily, What are these now comers going to do here this long, rainy winter? Many of them havo not a dollar to their names, and no work. In tho cause of humanity It should be stopped. Tlittt'a the .Situation Vow. "How can I mako money?" "How can I get rich?" "Tell mo how to become well off?" Theso and manv other nnzzKrn? in. quines como so otton as to creato won der. Now for a plain word. While it is only natural that all of us should want to earn money as easily as wo can, and should look forward to something in the bank, if not a competence, one snouiu stop to hguro las chances and take a rational view of tho situation. Not more than one man out of a thou s;uid who goes to any trade you can namo will ever do better than to get himself a homo and school his children. Not more than ono man out of a thou sand in the professions, take them as they run, will ever amass riches. It h not always hard work, persistency, acu men or good judgment that amasses wealth. Accident aud circumstance have much to do with it The Into war mado thousands of men rich. Another war would make other tbonsauds rich. A man holds a pieco of property unUl some street is opened or some great factory is built to quadruple its value. Men gain or loso by stocks and other speculation.
