AND now Sr. niton, Penu., has looked
the gilt hoise In Hie mouth and relused 'o
aicept Carnegie's piolleied public library;
whUli is altogether the pioprr thing to do.
People with piiJe and honor will always
scorn to .inept ch.uity tiom men who
have .luiuiic-il their millions thiough the
dishonest methods employed by the Car
uegles and RoJtclelleis. ( il en an etjual
show Willi these lavoied ones, the public
would not have to rely 011 these alleged
"phll.iuthioplsts" lor scch donations. It
is a lad that tod.iv.in the mining industry
alone the i.ue fot wealth is a free for all,
without a handicap.

mate as to the amount of money coming
In lor that purpose, because mining com
panies are as close mouthed about the
amount of stock sold js they are about the
amount of gold taken out of the ground.
It is a fact, however, that Considerable I

money is being received herefrom the east
In payment for stocks; many times a,
much as ever before, and the thousand
dollars a day gu.-ss is perhaps as good as
any.
