RED CROSSES AND CRES.
CENTS.

Ideal charity makes no dlstlntlon
of race and creed. Suffering men
everywhere are the free recipients of
its blessings. But the more practi-
cal, effective charity is that which
allows some play to human prejudi-
ces in favor or nationalities and relig-
ions, and tolerates bias arising from
even lower motives than these.
Probably majority of Englishmen
spmyathize with the Turk, not be-
cause they like his habits or his re-
ligion, but because they hate and
dread the Russians as possible en-
emies in Asia. The Turks, in one
sense, are fighting England's battle
against the Russian advance in India.
Therefore when committees are form
ed in London for the relief of sick
and wounded Turkish soldiers, they
directly appeal to the good will of
Englishmen as de facto allies of the
Turks. The fund raised by one
committee in London already amounts
to nearly $l50,0OO, and this has
been collected at time when En-
glish charity is sorely taxed to feed
the starving people of India, contrib
uting millions of dollars for that OBJ
ject' While the Turcophilists Of
England are giving thus generously,
the friend of Russia are not forget
full or idle. They have organized a
society also, the exclusive work of
which is to raise funds for sick and
wounded Russians. The task is
hard, with three Turkish relief COM
mlttees against them in the field but
they are receiving something. In
this country sympathies with the
combatants on either side are not as
acute as those of the English or con-
tinental people. Both the Russian
and the Turks have their friends

PURPOsELY WITH DEEP OBJECT.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.I
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-One method by which the
Democrats console themselves for their discontinue
in the Florida case is by rehearsing TO each other
how they were outwitted and deceived by the Repub-
leans and induced against their better judgment
to support the compromise Electoral bill. One
explanation of it is substantially as follows When
the bill drawn up, and when 1t was under dis
cusson in both houses of Congress, the Democrats
expected that Judge Davis would be elected by the
other four judges the fifteenth man OF the Commits
sion and account of their faith in his appointment
and their belief that his awards would be in their
favor, they supported the bill. AT the last moment
and just before the bill passed they say Secre-
tary Chandler and President Grant sent a message
to Gen. Logan, who in Springfield Ill.
directing him. while outwardly appearing to make
vigorous tight against Davis in the Senatorial con-
test secretly plot for his election and thus render
him ineligible for seat in the Electoral Commits
sion. Gen. L0gans reward for this was to be the
Secrctaryship of War under President HAYES. This
plan the Democrats say, worked beautifully. and
Judge Davis removed from the list OF eligible
candidates for a seat on the Commission when
the Democrats committed TO the support OF the
bill and when it too late for them to with
draw Those who tell this story admit that their
party was outwitted by the Republican managers
and that they deserve to be beaten for their stupid
ity. The plot is reported by some to have been dis
covered by the Democratic leaders at the eleventh
hour and they assert that the Democrats of Illinois
were warned against it but the dispatches sent TO
them received too late TO prevent the election
of Davis. Abram S Hewitt, Chairman of the Ma
tonal Democratic Committee when spoken to about
this matter a day or two ago, replied that he knew
nothing about it. and had sent no dispatch to the
Illinois Democrats the subject; if he had been
consulted about it he certainly should have advised
his party friends in that State not TO elect Judge
Davis Just at that juncture. Gen. Logan says the
story il entirely false but then 1t is just useful
for the Democrats rs though il was true

that he did not represent Mr. Tden, that he had no
acquaintance or sympathy with him, and had voted
against him, and would do so again If he were again
candidate but that he believed that he was elected,
and therefore appeared in the The election OF
Mr. Tilden he regarded the greatest disaster thst
could fall upon the country except the seating OF
his opponent by fraud. His argument was cmeny
devoted to show that the Returning Board had no
legal authority for canvassng the vote for electors
and that the canvass ought TO have been made,
under the old law by the Governor and the Secre-
tarv of State II the board is held TO have had
authority, then the electors he said, had no power
to fill the two vacancies caused by the absence OF
Leyisse and Brewster. for the new Election law OF
1872 repealed the provision in the old law for ming
vacancies in the Electoral College. The Repub-
leans might he said, take either horn OF the d.
lemma; in one case they would lose eight votes,
and IN the other two.
The diligent disposition evinced by the Commits
sion to-day makes it probable that it Will hear all
the arguments ON the Louisiana before adjourn
ing tomorrow, aud that decision will he reached
on Thursday, SO that report can he made and the
count proceed on Friday. Republicans are confident
that the Hayes returns will be ordered counted by
the same vote that settled the Florida question.
Among the Democrats there Is still some hope that
Judge Bradley will make up his mind that neither
of the conflicting certificates is valid and that both
sets of returns ought to be objected to- The care he
displayed in taking notes of the points in the arg'-
ments of the Democratic objection to-day gives
them good deal of comfort.
The counsel on the Republican side who viii
speak in the Louisiana case are Messrs. Evarts,
Stoughton and Shellabarger. Mr.. Evartss active
services are to continue through to the end OF the
struggle.

ON NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. IN CONGRESS.
Argument was made as to the vote of Lou
isiana before the Electoral Commission yester-
day by Senator Mcdonald, Representative
jerks and ex-senator Carpenter against the
Hayes certificates, and by Senator Howe and
Representative Hurbut against the Tilden
certificates. The Commission was in session I'M
til Z p. NJ, and adjourned then only because the
Supreme Court room was poorly lighted, and
the candles which were used filed the air
with smoke. Further argument will be made
to-day. A decision is looked for in time to
go on with the count on Friday. In Congress
yesterday Senator Kelly related how Tilden's
money was used in Oregon the Florida ques-
ton came up IN the House; and David Dud-
ley Field pushed on his Florida and Louisiana
investigations. The Democrats claim that
Gen. Logan withdrew from the Senatorial
contest in Illinois purposely to prevent Judge
Davis going on the Commission.
