BALTIMORE, Md.-The Daily Evening Neacs
publishes the following, editorially:
At the time the New York Herald, with
characteristic generosity, gave the princely
sum of one hundred thousand dollars to a
relief fund for the sufferers from famine in
Ireland, one of the most distinguished litera-
ry men Of America, contributed to the Art
autograph, published for the benefit OF that
fund, the following note:
"When q 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 spaces of the earth; it is only when
she asks for bread, that creed and party are
forgotten and the whole world rises to re-
spond.'
While recognizing the force Of this senti-
ment, the experience which member OF
our editorial staff had yesterday, furnishes
unmistakable evidence of the fact, that the
want OF bread, that famine, is not the only
thing which causes the ''whole world to rise"
and by united action to record enthusiastic
endorsement of laudable measure, or object.
This conviction was occasioned by visit to
commercial enterprise, of which, although
much has been said and written, the writer
confesses he knew nothing from personal
experience, prior to his investigations. The
following facts are presented cheerfully,
in the belief that they are not only OF real
public interest, but are of so extraordinary
nature, so encouraging to our local pride, as
to demonstrate beyond all doubt, that the
agency in question, is the most remarkable
of its kind known in the history of scientific
discovery.
Doubtless every inventor and every man
uracturer of even an Indifferent article can,
without serious difficulty, enlist certain
amount of local and general influence in
support OF his products-on the same princi-
pie, perhaps, that every political aspirant
has some followers-but the proofs here
under consideration are so positive, and con-
sidering the high sources supplying the fol-
lowing statements, they are so extraordi-
nary and conclusive, that no sane man can
doubt that the expressions were called forth,
by really marvellous degree of excellence
and power.
Here congress of nations, composed of
distin guished leaders in public, mercantile,
and social circles of all sections of the
world, and in part of eminent professional
men, whose conservatism 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 the understanding of every
fairzminded man.
When our representative examined the
originals of the following forcible documents
he was, as above indicated, so struck with
their extraordinary character, that he con-
Guided to present them to our readers, as a
matter of public interest. This, as before
stated, is done cheerfully and of our own
accord.
