The Vandcrbllts.
The life of the late William II.
Vanderbilt was for the most part a
struggle to preserve the colossal fort
une heaped up by his father to pre
vent it from evaporating, as all prop
erly except lands tends everywhere
to CVanorale. The tinift is enmiii".
if it has not already come, when
greater skill v. ill be required to keep
large estates together than was
needed to accumulate them, and
this for the very simple reason that
it is the nature of capital to wear
out, the most permanent forms re
quiring incessant care and renewal.
Even such fixtures ns tlm "Now- Vnrfc
Central Railroad are exposed to kill
ing competition, and we nave seen
the shares of this remarkable prop
erty once reckoned the most desir
able form of investment next to gov
ernment bonds, reduced to a non
dividend basis by a parallel road
laid alongside of it within -thA short
space of three years, an event which
would have seemed utterly incredi
ble to the elder Vanderbilt. A late
president of the Erie railway, now
deceased, on the occasion of a con
ference with the commodore, in which
a modus virendi was patched up
between them, said : " JJow, commo
dore, nothing can hurt the New York
Central until somebody builds a
narrow-gauge road on the other side
of the Mohawk." The idea of a new
double-track steel railway parallel
ing the Central was beyond the con
ception of either of the conferees.
The commodore reflected for a mo
ment and then exclaimed: "It is
impossible; such a road will never
be built." Eight years had not
passed after this conversation took
place when the West Shore road was
in full operation, and it may be af
firmed that the old commodore never
had a task of such difficulty set be
fore him as that which bis son grap
pled when the West Shore problem
conironteu mm.
Mr. Yanderbilt's business career
was checkered with likfi nrohlnms
from the day when he inherited the
bulk of his father's wealth to tho
day of his own death. The very
last hour and minute of his own life
were absorbed by the ceaseless strug
gle to hold on to property which was
always slipping from him. The best
investment he ever made was his
large purchase of United States
bonds. This required no care, no
conferences with Garrett, or Gould,
or Roberts, no surrender io the
Nickel Platers, no fighting with the
West Shore crowd. But "United
States bonds come to an end event
ually, and the inheritors of the Van
derbilt wealth will have to struggle
as he struggled, and as less wealthy
persons struggle, to keep together
the accumulations of the old commo
dore. They will probably not be
able to do so. The chances are
largely against the preservation of
the estate in a lump beyond one
mere generation, although its bulk
is sufficient to endow many rich fam
ilies. The lumping of such masses
of wealth by the process of settling
all but a fraction on one member of
a family will not prevent its eventual
dissipation under the grinding power
of competition and tho ceaseless rav
ages of time. It is fortunate that the
forces of nature work as they do to dis
sipate large fortunes, since such ac
cumulations as the Vanderbilt estate
are the never- failing textfor commun
ist spouters and tho starting-point of
almost all attacks upon social order.
How far the late William H. Van
derbilt succeeded with the task he
queathed to him by his father the
public will not be likely to find out.
Not even his executors will be able
to answer the question for a long
time to come, since death overtook
him at a crisis in railway affairs. If
he had died a few months earlier the
West Shore settlement would in all
probability have failed, and with it
would have failed tho Pennsvlvania
settlement, whatever that may be.
The absence of a commanding bulk,
capable of drawing lesser things to
itself by sheer gravitation, would
have left a multitude of conflicting
forces in play to shatter themselves
by useless collision. Whether all
the wreckage has been collected to
gether and properly stowed no man
is wise cnougn to say. The man
who could do most to make peace as
well as to make war among railroad
interests has passed away, the
richest man in the world Tuesday,
to-day nothing but a name, and as
to this the most that can be said is
that it was a fairly good name. Mr.
Vanderbilt's benefactions were great,
but not remarkable as measured
by his wealth. He was virtuous,
unostentatious, and kind-hearted,
a good husband and father, a care
ful trustee of the interests commit
ted to his charge. He made no bad
uses of his great wealth, nor did he
ever exhibit the grasping, fighting,
and crushing traits which marred
the fame of tho old commodore. He
endowed one great institution in New
York with a princely estate, and he
may have left other bequests in his
will which shall preserve to him
something better than the title of the
richest man of his generation. New
York Post.
Cure For Piles.
Tiles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he lias some effection
oftIiekidne3s or neighboring organs
At times, symptoms of indigestion are
present, flatulency, uneasiness of. the
stomach, etc. A moisture like perspir
ation, producing a very disagreeaole
itching, after getting warm, is a com
mon attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to tho appli
cation of Dr. Bosanko's Pile remedy,
which acts directly upon the parts ef
fectcd, absorbing the Tumors, allaying
th e intense itch ing.and effecting a per
manent cure. Price 50 cents. Address
