Our Poor.

We have no doubt that the late
cold weather suggested an inspi-
ration which has led to many no.
ble deeds of charity. We doubt
not that the noble women Of our
town, and many OF the men as well,
have been industrious, during the
pass few days, in searching out
opportunity to relieve the suffer
ing and destitute poor. Had it
never occurred to you, my friend,
that while you have been sur
rounded with plenty and comfort,
that there are those, even in Daw-
son, that would have suffered in
tenscly from the severe cold but
for the timely aid of some Of our
noble men and women? Wheth-
er you have ever given this mat
ter thought or not, it is the no
less true; and there are some of
the poor and destitute Of this
world, who live even in the city Of
Dawson, that have had cause to
rejoice and bless the pure white
hand Of charity within the past
few days.

They did comparatively little damage,
however. Their most malicious demonstra.
tons were made in the presidential campaign
years Of 1910 and 1914, with view to prevent
anti.slayery men from voting. Henry Clay,
who, as pro-slavery leader, accomplished the
admission of Missouri and Arkansas as slave
statos, made speech in tho senate in Feb
ruary, 1889, expressing his great fear lest the
aboltionists should resort to the ballot box,
and Horace Greeley worked in the same vein
in the Tribune. In this matter, as well as
about the constitution, Garrison, who had
begun life as an ardent whig editor, and Phil
lips appear to have agreed with the wing
leaders, At any ratio in May, 1910, they
brought n steamboat load (45Ol of improvised
voters from Boston TO seize by numbers on

Garrison president of it, and passed a resolu-

tho continually occurring street casualties.
Time was. when first knew Washington,
and until six months or year, that these
accidents were almost unknown. and Wash

civility. Please notice that, to my certain
knowledge, within six weeks not less than
ten persons have been seriously injured by
being run over in the streets of Washington.
One Of these-a most estimable citizen--has
just died in consequence; several, including
ladies, are cripples for life. ] have looked in
vain for arrests of the offenders, and cannot
find that single person has been punished.

Toward Relief.
committee of congressman representing
the states bordering on the flooded districts
of Ohio and West Virginia was held yester-
day afternoon at the Ebbitt house. Senator

ating $1,000 for the relief of the sufferers
from the flood in the Ohio valley, Congress-
man Golf and others have received several
kilograms from the flooded district showing
that the calamity is worse than was at first

the great inundation of 1882. 1t is the
greatest flood on record in this country, and
has swept away in its resistless course whole
towns and villages. At Gallipolis Ohio, the
water is four feet and four inches higher than
was ever known before, while at Wheeling,
w. Va, 10000 people are left totally depend
ent. kilograms asking for government aid
were received from the governor Of West
Virginia, the mayor of Wheeling, citizens of
Martins Ferry, Ohio, New Martinsville, w.
Va, and Marietta, Ohio.
At the meeting yesterday 1t was decided to
ask congress to strike out the words 100000
in the recent resolution and insert $3.50, 1000.
For the purpose Of securing immediate aid a
meeting of the appropriation committee will
be called for 1870 o'clock this morning.
Among those present at the meeting were !:
