THE DESTITUTE.

A good deal Of bypocritical sush hes been
INDUCED in by rome people over cases Of
distress in the western part Of Kansas. That
there have been cases Of actual aufiering
there lie no doubi, but thess es.es have been
promptly relieved. We have learned Of
some instances, in which people hsve sought
relief. Who were too lszy 10 work or too
de-picabIe to sPply Tor the same.
The destitute bubble il in sossly need Oh
pricking. The cry Of distIe-s ha. been
used by certain philanthropcally disposed
persons to furnish little buncombe NJ the
expense Of the chsriiy of outside persons.
This is great wrons. and il . reflection
upon the charity OF our osn people, and
. misrepresentation Of the means at their
command. Without ary ostenta,ion, the
Dodge City Benevolent Society has promptly
relieved every case of suffering that has sp-
piled for relief within the knowledge Of the
officers Of the society. Fifteen persons made
application for help, and these persons we're
cheerfuily given the Necessary means OF sub
sis,ence. There is money in the treasury
after every case Of actual rnfiering has been
attended to and amply supplied.
We assert that the grestet cry Of dirtres
has been made BY those who were able TO
make living-snd the needy Who were tho
humble to make their wants known, were
sought BY the relief society. Ford county
Is abundan,ly able to take care 70 it, own
poor.
A great wrong has been inflicted upon this
section Of the State, BY the undue circulation
giver to the distressed condition of come of
its people. But it is a repetition Of Kansas
history, and will be used 60 long as the
slimsy pretext is afforded, and so long as our
Eastern people are go generous sith their
"beans."

arrested and placed in an insane asylum by his
brother. Abraham, some six years ago, became
infatuated with Carrie Fairfield, otherwise

very intimate, he sent her to Europe and fol-
lowed In the next steamer. He Joined her, but
one evening while they were together ln-the

ance, and was evidently so insane that he was
sent to an asylum. He was persuaded 70 re-
turn to this country, and was sent TO an asylum
near Philadelphia, but was soon discharged as
convaleSCent. Immediately on his release he
renewed his former relations with Miss Fair
field. I'm spite of the remonstranceSrOf his fam
ily. A week ago he went with her to DIR.
Gothral the Jewish rabbi, to be married, but he
refused to perform the ceremony on learning
the relations existing between them. They
next went to the Rev. DR.. Hought0n, who mar
ried them. The family are desirouS of placing
him In some private insane asylum, where he
can obtain the best Of attendance. Mrs. Carrie
Gosling, formerly Fairfield, has, however, OBJ
tanned writ OF habeas corpus to test the right
OF the brother to conf1ne him. In her af1davif
she asserts her marriage to him on the 18th
I'M tant, but admits that they have been living
together as man and wife. The case Is to be
heard In the New York supreme court
