Mr.. Williams and Mr.. Blaine.

The Maine Standard publishes with a
great flourish of trumpets the fact that
when Mr.. Blaine was editor OF this paper,
some twenty years ago. he wrote some
very kindly things of Hon. Joseph ii.
Williams. We have no doubt that Mr..
Blaine was more than glad and willing to
do so, His relations with Mr.. Williams
have always been most kindly aud friend.
ly. At six consecutive elections Mr.. VIII
iams voted tor Mr. Blaine as representa-
tive in Congress from this district, prefer
ring Mr.. Blaine to such demo rats rs A.
i. Could, f.. Wilder Farley, L X. Brien
and Thomas :. Lang, who were severally
candidates against him. Indeed we have
been told by resident of Mr.. Williams
own ward that when Mr.. Williams voted
for Mr. Blaine in 1872 he carried no other
name upon his ticket, and we personally
know that when Mr.. Blaine was elected
to the United States Senate last winter MIR.
Williams was present at Mr.. Blaine re-
cepton and very warmly congratulated
him on his promotion. The Name Stand
ard will therefore see that Mr. Blaine has
personal occasion, even now more than
twenty years ago, to speak kindly of Mr..
Williams. We are very sure that Mr..
Blaine never spoke or wrote of Mr.. VIII
liams a single unlriendly word in his life.

strous faulty. Moreover, it may be useful TO
point out that society is getting to be little out
of patience with dishonest business men, no
matter how pcnitent they may be after the
dfuouement The disposition to forget and for
give, we notice, is becoming less. The ten
dency is a little in the other direction. Judges
are not Ienicnt any longer toward heretofore
respectabIe men who are caught thieving, and
iuries are disposed to convict in spite OF pleas
of insanity and other "extenuatIng circum-
"stances.n If an unfortunate trader makes
perfectly honorable failure, paying the largest
possible dividend in his power, and giving up
to his creditors everything, he is respected
and may have chance of retrieving bis 1Or-
tunes. But society is by no means so tender
as it once was toward those who cheat; ana
this, too, those who are tempted to finger alien
funds should remember. Sympathy for the
broken-down respectable man, who al
ways meant to pay back his plumber,
is by no means a characteristic OF the present.
We cannot blame the world for this, for it has
been swinded and plundered until patience

CNIRLTY EOR CRILDREN.

Last Friday, as our readers are aware, an
entertainment was successfully given by some
little folk in Steinway Hall for the benefit OF
fine house mt Rockaway Beach to which SICK
children under five years OF age are taken
during the Summer. Several of these tempo
rary seaside and country hospitals were opened
and supported last year by kindly people IN
New York for the reception Of poor and SICK
children, and in some cases OF their mothers.
There il no more direct or certain way than
this OF saving human life. or indeed or dong
Chrsl's work which lies just under Our hand.
Thousands of half-fcd, diseased children die
every Summer in this city whom fortnight
of fresh air aId wholesome food would save.
The cost Of supporting one OF these houses,
too j., small, compared with that OF any other
charity, especially if it is not established In
one OF the crowded Summer resorts. There
are vacant farm-houses at all OF the small
way stations from New-York to the head of
Barnegat Bay which could be rented for 500
or $50 for the six warm months, furnished
at little more expense, and supported at cost
of 81 per capita weekly. Two or three
wealthy families could carry it with the sum
which they would give to other charities II
they were III the city.
Ii was a sound and beautiful idea in the
managers of the Stelnway Hall exhibition to
bring happy and well-to-do children to take
part in this work. A mother who wishes to
give to her boy or girl practical lesson OF
Christian feeling and work can find no better
way than to induce them to find out
some needy suffering child, and help to give
il health and happiness. There are large
sums raised every week in our Sunday schools
for PARKWAY mission work in which the chill
dren have % very vague and feeble interest.
How would it do to divert these contributions
for month or two now to this home object
The work is just as ChristlikG, and its work.
ines ard results would be Immediately under
the eyes of the children. Converted heather
are bat shadowy fruit of good works even
to the adult mind but any boy or girl can
understand the benefit to the starved, sick lit
tie pauper in the back alley of the race on
tho beach or about the farm which they look
forward to for themselves as the top and
crown of the year. Any boy or girl can UNI
derstand that 10 heal the sick Is to take part
in their Masters work. The managers OF
these Homes, we are told, find the hard times
threaten to diminish their receipts seriously
during the coming Summer. The hard times
and pryati0ns of the Winter will also increase
the want, disease, and death rate when the
heats of July set in. Let them set the chill
dren TO work. The wcl-fcd, happy little
people who give will in one way reap as much
benefit As the needy little ones whom they
help.

Last Sunday the congregation 1T Brooklyn
church WAS treated to Il vigorous discourse
npoa the subject of unjust stewardship, and
generally upon d'falcatoas, forgctfnlncss ot
the distinction between Weum and 1unm the
misapDropYia. ion of trust funds, and that pecu-
liar commercial dishonesty which betrays con-
fdcnce ana destroys mans faith in his fellow
man. We are not surprised that the preacher
looking about for timely topic OF special
human interest should have hit upon this
We do not know that dishonesty of this kind
is specially modern there must have been I'M
just stewards in Judea to give point to the
parable Bat the sin is made more common
in these days by the large amount of
business transacted through corporations,
by the greater variety of mercan-
tile transactions, and by the almost
universal credit system upon which they are
based. The consequence is great increase
in the number of tho:e who use money unlaw-
fully, and borrow, without asking for the loan
OF il, money which has been cOnfidingly lodged
in their hands. Somebody is always breaking
down. Banking-houses which seemed to be

SAVIOR Nothing can be more charming than
the good intentions of the sinners, their de-
termination TO make all right and to restore
the funds, which are actually pilfered, what
ever fine name may be given to the transac-
ton. But one who begins to filch in this way
is very likely to be insOlvent already; and it
is well worth noticing that the sin which he
commits to save himself from ruin usually ac-
CELEBRATES the dreaded contamination.
Before a trustee, guardian, cashier, or other
fiduciary appropriates one penny intrusted to
his keeping, it would be well for him to think
of few of the leading cases in which men
quite as smart" as he can possibly be have
played the little game and have by no means
won it, He should recall the eminent New
Workers and BostOnians and Philadelphians
who have come to the grief of exile, Of
prison, of suicide perhaps, and who began in
the same small way which he purposes to pur-
sue, and with the same intention Of making
speedy restitution. Experience is all against
such experiments with luck and whoever tries
them plays with tools of an uncOmmOnly fine
edge. Very often, when found out, defauters
exhibit a remorse which shows them to be
persons of acute sensibility; but if they were
equally furnished with good sense, they would
say, "Get behind me, SATAN" before they
fllched dime. We waive the immortality %

TVEkU'S TER4CITY,

Perhaps it is only because the public is
always ready to turn believing ear to the
giver OF States evidence, but it is ncverthe-
less Il striking fact that we are all waiting for
Tweed's confession with faith in its truth
which approaches the absolute. The same
community Which split into two nearly equal
parties when the word of the most distin-
guishcd clergyman in the land was in
question, is now Of one mind about accepting
in Their entirety the statements of a convicted
thief. 1t is not surely because Tweed
has established reputation for telling
the truth He was confronted only the other
day before the Woodin Committee with his
sworn statement in 1879 that he had never
bribed members of the Legislature, and yet
that part of his statement which the public is
awaiting with the keenest interest is that
which cOnfesses or pretends to confess just
such bribing But he has been detected in an
untruth spoken much more recently. He de-

The composition of the Custom house Com
mission is such as to inspire confidence in the
fairness of its inquiry and in the business OF
the conclusions which it will reach. 1t has
been constituted, as Secretary Sherman shows
in his letter of instructions, to represent the
merchants, the officers of the port, and the
Treasury Department. From n body OF this
kind we can expect verdict that could never
Ne wrung by any known appliance from
Congressional Committee There is no majority
here, as in CustOm-house investigations OF
past years, to screen offenders, and apply the
final coat of whitewash; there is no minority
to make out every officer dishonest
fellow and throw mud first, last, and all the
time. There is not professional politician
connected with the Commission, and not a man
OF the three can have any personal interest III
concealing from the public anything which it
has a right to know. OF the two Republicans,
one is the President of the Union League
Club, and the other holds q place in
the Treasury Department. The Democrat is
merchant in excellent standing, who is not
connected even remotely with politics. This
comes very near to being nOn-partisan Com
mission, and its findings will be respected ac-
cOrdiDCly

ments and as illustrating the importantly with
which the Commission discharged Its duties.

The manifesto with which Gov. Packard
renounces all intention of pushing his claims
and becomes plain Mr. Packard again is, after
all, much more temperate document than was
to be expected. In his early communications to
Washington, Mr.. Packard sneered at President
Iayes's policy and Mr.. Evarts's law, but
in this he confines himself to calm and
dignifed statement of the controversy from
his point of view, and while he loses no
opportunity to make it appear that the Presi-
dent and his Commission were cOnspiring with
the Democrats, he does it in decorous way
Beyond this there is perhaps nothing worthy
of note i'm the address, except that Mr.. Packard
seems to be as fun as Mr.. Chamberlain was OF
the strange notion that a government having
nearly, if not quite as good legal title as his
own, and supported and recognized by the
great mass of the people, is nevertheless "revo-
"lutionary," and ought in some way to be
suppressed. On that point, it is hardly necessary
to enlarge.
