What He Says.

Sunny Strand,
BALTIMORE, MD.-The Daily Evening
News publishes the following editorially:
At the time the New York Herald, with
characteristic generosity, gave the prlnceiy
sum of 500, GOO to relief fund, tor the
sufferers from famine in Ireland, one OF
the most distinguished literary men of

fund, the following note:
''When a distressed nation appeals for
this or that or the other grace or help, she
hears an answering voice of sympathy
from this or that or the other creed or
group or faction, scattered here and there
and yonder in the space of the earth; IT
is only when she asks for bread that creed
and party are forgotten, and the whole
world rises to respond
While recognizing the force of this sen
timent, the experience which member OF
our editorial staff had yesterday, furnishes
unmistakable evidence of the fact that the
want of bread-that famine-ls not the
only thing which causes the whole world
to rise" and by united action to record en-
thusiastic endorsements of laudable meas

stoned by visit to a commercial enter
prise, of which, although much has been
said and written, the writer confesses he

of distinguished leaders in public, mer-
camille, and social circles of all sections of
the world, and in part of eminent profess
sional men, whose conversation in matters
of this kind is well known, basing their
expressions upon actual experiments and
observations, voluntarily join in public
praise so high and unqualified as to set at
rest all doubts and prejudices, to silence
skeptics, and to carry conviction to every
fair minded man.
When our representative examined the
originals of the following forcible docu-
ments, he was, as above indicated, so
struck with their extraordinary character,
that he concluded to present them to our
readers, as a matter of public interest.
This, as before stated, is done cheerfully
and of our own accord.
