HELP THE DESERVING POOR.
What the Police Authorities are
Doing and what Citizens Should


Major Of Police Dye stated to CRITIC re-
porter this morning that there was great
deal Of suffering among the poor people this
winter and particularly at tho present time.
he said the police had helped about 100
families in the last few days, and meritorlous
caeee are coming In by the hundred, aud
unless some active movement ts started for
their relief they will havo TO starve, for the
police, with their 1890 for q whole year,
can do very little good. "rho regularly or
gnrizcd charities 10 the city," said the Major,
"if they can do anything for the many extreme
casee, should act now. Tho police arc doing
all In their power, md any charitable person
who has anything to give to the suffering
can have II distributed by sending II % aay OF
the staton.houses. Supplies aro az good 10
money, and any one who will notify tho De-
partment that they Will dispense coal or
wood, tho police VIII SEQ it distributed.
There is almost as much suffering for lack Of
fuel as for food, for many poor people have no
beds or fire. Tho public ought 10 bs interest
cd in the matter, and contributions should DO
taken up 10 relieve the suffering"

For whisky, Too.

There's an Interest nowise neglected,
And yet rather sah aud forlorn,
Which deserves to DO nicely protected
refer 10 the extract or corn,
For this We at last raise the issue,
Intending To put 1t rlghr through,
or Tarifr for revenue only,
But tariff for whisky, too.
Away with the wars heavy taxes,
Producing far more than we need!
Cease grinding the Eastern mems axes,
And pettlng the Eastern mems greed.
But remember the still ana IT'S product,
So precious 20 me aud 20 you,
And go In TOR n revenue tatiu,
But tariff for whisky, too.
For come II may seem rather risky,
Peculiar, crankslded, unwise,
To stand upon barrels Of whisky,
With all that the standing Implies;
But the song that we raise In a chorus
How gladly we all took tho cuel-
lie n taritf for revenue only,
And q tariff for whisky, too.
There's moral ldee In the woodplle,
Though lust what II IL | can't sayi
And some OF our men have Il good Pile
or taxes on whisky To pay.
And so we cry, Down with Protection
The old must give place TO the new,
And hurrab for a revenue tariff,
But a tariff for whisky, too.
