"a ABour CHARrrABLE EXHIBITIONS.
Some one is constantly appealing to the
philanthropy of the people for funds to
enable them to prosecute some praise
worthy mission. Formerly they appealed
to the pockets direct, but laterly they have
employed intermediate agencies, the pro-
priety and the efficiency Of which we very
much doubt. That the end does not neces.
sarily justify the means, is maxim adop-
ted by honest people. For while past
we have been treated to quite heavy
and undoubtedly interesting amount of
exhibitions-the proceeds Of which after
paying all necessary expenses, were trans
ferred to the sustinance Of some church.
The object was deserving one there
was nothing very wrong in the means
used to attain it, but could not the same
object have been accomplished in better
way? We claim that Of the money thus
contributed by generous public large
per centage is diverted from the destina.
ton for which it was intended, for the
purpose Of paying the expenses which
such affairs necessarily entail.
There is better way to raise funds for
charitable purposes than exhibitions,
either with or without refreshments. Let
the appeal be made directly to the honest
philanthrophy of the people, through
some trustworthy person-one who is
willing to devote an occasional day to
soliciting direct subscriptions. By such
means more money could be raised in two
days than all the agencies Of exhibitions
could raise in ten years, and its collection
would not cost dollar. Let the grave
and honorable citizens who are putting
their wives and daughters up for exhibit
ton, consider if ours be not the better
plan. In one case they may, after infinite
labor, expense and noisy humbug, get
hundred dollars; in the other, they may
get several hundred speedily, surely. com.
ing from those most able to give it, and
without handing over postage stamp
for the payment of expenses.
Let it be distinctly understood that We
DO not mean to discourage the raising of
funds for the bene6. of the clergy. The
cause is en'rel noble and deserving, and
it is because Of its vast importance that
we should like to see it placed upon higher
ground. 1t is sacred duty, calling for
the spontaneous efforts of our citizens,
and should never be left to the accidents
and errors that must attend all clap trap
and hurra, boys, as mark the rise and fall
Of public efforts in the direction we have
indicated
These sort Of exhibitions are invariable
attended with great waste, and great dis
appoin 'ment; the public are worked into
fever Of excitement. to their damage,
and the hottest CT causes is crushed under
the stigma Of common ffty-cent show.
OF course there will be exhibi,ions-the
fever runs that way-but let US remember
that they are just about the worst and
most expensive method for raising funds
that could be devised.
