The Society for the Relief of the Ruptured anu
Crippled whose quarterly statement appears I'D our
advertising columns to-day deserves this title. l. Is
a peculiar charity. not only in work and in the
extent of IT. but in the breadth and generosity or
the helm il affords The number of INDECENT persons
in the classes to which this society deyotcs itseh
is much larger than would be geheraHy
supposed. During the quarter ehdhg
with last month 2205 new cases were treated
at the Society's hospital Forty-second-st. During
last year nearly 5000 patients were treated. But
this statement impressive as it is. does not begin 10
represent the charitable labors OF tho Society.
Almost every of these cases needs n surgical
apparatus of some kind. The cost of these, as
every one knows who has had occasion TO resort TO
the instrumen makers is often very heavy
Instrument-mak are paid much Detter
than doctors, as rule, and some oil
those who are most in vogue use their
position in the trade to get exorbtant prices All
The apparatus required the hospital, which would
cost elsewhere all the way from 80 to $50. are pro-
vdcd and kept in repair free of charge by the So
cety which employs q number OF former patients
for this work 1t need hardly be said that many OF
the poor wonld go uncured if this double method OF
relief were not pursued.
The Society is greatly in need of money. This
bare announcement should be sufficient to supply
every reed. Come Messrs. MillionaIres! This is not
an Office -hOdng charity. Every dollar is usofully
spent-giye them every dollar they need.

The Morey Conspiracy may yet rival the Cipher
COparceny.
To mules in 1876 Barnum adds forgery and
perjury in 1880 The great man is accumulatine
u good deal OF record.
The cry of fraud dies out and the motive for
raising il appears. The only two witnesses who
ever gave any testimony TO sustain the forged
MOrey letter confess that they perjured themselves
for Democratic pay No wonder Barnum wished
to kick up dustl One of the drtIest political

General Butler has relieved his mind 10 re-

the outpouring is that Tilden is responsible and
that President Garfield viii split the Republican
party within two years If that is the best the
General can do he must be badly enteched by the
defeat OF Lis party. lie has produced the greatest
busaboO OF his lie.
Is every Democratic Presidential campaign to
be followed by a National scandal The ciphers

Coparccny.
European trip il the thing for Barnum. This
country will be uncomfOrtably hot for him pre-
scntly.
The story of old Mother Morey has done the bust
ness for the Democratic party.
The persistence with which John l. Davenport fol-
lows up the Chinese letter conspraors is not calcu
lated to win fresh affection for him from the Demo
cratic party. First and last he has given them
good deal of trouble. His stubborn refusal to let

No wonder the average Democratic statesman
thinks he sees the Republic totter.

by the fact that the Constitution rs it is and not
the Constitution it vas is the law of the land,
both in spirit and in letter. there Will be section
alism to trouble anybody.
There is some discussion as to whether the Demo.
cratic party is dead not, but Barnum will make
it evident presently that 1t ought to have died four
years ago.
The Democratic Journals seem to be losing their
interest in the Chinese letter case Yet the fun has
but just begun.
The Republicans are sure of United States
Senator from California. and he is of more value
to the party than the electoral vote OF the State.
President Garfield will have to enlarge his Cabi-
net to at least thirty-eght men to make everybody
happy Each State is in the field with one candi-
date for membership already.
Southern solidity and Southern stupidity go
