CHARITY AND ACTORS.

The Dramatic Critic of a newspaper in a neighbor
ing city recently wrote to Miss Charlotte Cushman,
asking her, without much ceremony, to give gratu-
itous representation for the benefit Of the poor Of
that place and requesting her to answer by telegraph
"Yes" or "No" To this summons Miss Cushman
sent the following sensible and appropriate reply:
DEAR SIR lam in receipt OF yours OF the Isl. In an

ing No" TO your request that would give OF the
nights OF my short engagement in Washington for the
benefit OF your local charities My for this de-
cision follows:

make protest against the system now so fully nau-
gurated Of making artists pay so much more than the
rest OF the community for charities in which they are
not especially interested and which have claim upon
them. You simply ask OF that should give from
500 to $500 to your poor while those more Immediately
concerned those who bound by all the ties OF neigh
borhood and brotherhood think they are doing
their part In paying their quota OF dollar or two, when
they receive in return full equivalent ont OF the LABOR

POLITICAL NOTES.

Gov. Dix's admirable message on the finan-
cial situation meets with hearty approval from the
state press Of all parties
significant and complimentary indication
Of Gov Howard's popularity Rhode Island is found
in the fact that he received every vote cast for Gov
ernor in ten towns, including his own at the recent
election. :.
Rumors from Washington once more predict
tho downfall Of Mr.. Richardson and the promotion OF
secretary Desno. The latter has had TO experience
,hieh would point HIM out specially lifted for the
T,aasrrv Department, but he ~ man Of conslderaDle
shv and has at least qualification f0f taxing care
., The nsope's money viz, that he has always peen
snccesst,l IN taking care Of his own.
Desnite the protests Of many OF the Admin
,straton organs that the New Hampshire and Connec
cut elections have no significance since there were no
national Issues involved, contrary impression seems to
prevail among the more sagacous OF tho party journals
