salaried Benefciaries Who Won't

BUT PRESS POORER PEOPLE TO AID THE
EXPOSITION.

IN. o. City Item.l
EDITOR CITY ITEM There is quite a
number of high salaried attaches OF the
Exposition, and a numerous force OF
more moderate wage arners While
the contribution process is being so
earnestly pressed upon all classes OF
| outsiders, it would be pleasing to know
| what amounts these direct beneficiaries
| on the inside have given. A publica-
ton of the sum which each has sub
scribed, if found proportionately liber-
al, would help the cause with the public.
Yours, etc., OLD LEVEE-
The above communication was hand
ed a reporter with instructions to OBJ
tain information on the subject. The
Exposition headquarters was visited,
and Capt. B. T. Walshe asked who of
the attaches had subscribed.
Capt. Walshe took the communica-
ton to Mr.. McConnico, who said that he
considered the question a pertinent one,
and advised Capt. Walshe to make a
canvass of the office. This was done
with the following result:
SAINT H. MULLEN,
we'll known as Chief Installation Of the
Worlds Fair, responded in this wise:
II am not in a position to contribute
anything"
Mr.. LAFITTE,
Treasurer of the Worlds Fair, said:
Il cannot pay a subscription now,
and would not like to put my name
down."
OF all the employees there appear as
subscribers only the names Of Capt.
Walshe and Mr.. Richard Nixon, the sec
rotary Of the old concern. Thus it will
be seer that those who are directly
benefited by the great Exposition, give
the least support in return.

The Most Unpleasant OF Cabi-
net Positions.

Of all the Cabinet positions that of
Secretary Of the Navy is the most I'M
pleasant. That officer has control Of
the public duty and private interest of
two thousand people and their fami-
lies. Tho moment he makes an order
in the line of public duty that conflicts
with the private interest of a single
family, the entire hive becomes active.
Then be is responsible not only for
those above but those below him. II
the president directs anything to be
done, the Secretary takes the respon-
sible not only for those above but those
below him. 1t the President directs any
thing to be DONE the Secretary takes the
responsibility. That is what he is there
for, He can't say, 1.-THE President told
me to do this thing" If q ship that he
never saw goes ashore anywhere on
the Pacific Coast, the blame is placed on
Inn. If a three-masteT comes sailing
down Long Island Sound, with only a
sleepy helmsman on deck,and runs down
The TallapoosB, the Secretary is blamed
for it. There isn't enough money in the
country to induce me to fill such a place

Anew law is on trial in Massachu-
setts which is based on the idea that
drunkenness is a disease. 1t authorizes
the commitment of dTunkards to insane
asylums, where they are restrained of
their liberty, not as a punishment but
as a means of reform. We do not think
this law will meet the expectations of
its devisers. Ii drunkenness is All in
sanity it is a form of that malady which
the victim puts on and off at pleasure,
and it can not be properly dealt with
without taking into consideration the
option of sobriety which always re-
mains to the inebriate when be closes
TO exercise it. The true remedy for
drunkenness is NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ment equivalent to the evil endured by
society. Temporary arrest and fine for
Vagabouds who get drunk, and practi-
cal exemption for other men who get
drunk with fine clothes on their backs,
do not reach to the extent of punish
ment. When all classes and conditions
of people, old or young, who publicly
exhibit themselves in a condition of in
~tOxication are impartially and severely
dealt with drunkenness will soon hide
itself from view. The moment the law
vigorously executed, makes the drum
kard a shameful object we shall see
much less of him. Incorrigible inebri-
ates may properly be deprived of their
property as we'll as their liberty, put
ting it out of their power to injnre
themselves or others. - Philadelphia

THE FISH QUESTION.
Efforts of the Fish Commissioner to Enforce
the State Laws.

The People of yesterday has the following,
which will be of interest to the persons who
want to see the fish protected. Mr.. Reed should
be encouraged in his laudable efforts:
"For the past two or three weeks W have
been endeavoring to raise a purse of from three
to five hundred dollars, in order that we might
advertise a reward of $40 to every informer
whose information leads to the c~onvictin of
violators of the fish law. But it seems t be a
sort of an uphill business. Gentlemen met u.s.
on the street and say, Put me down for S..
Yet the money does not come in to any alarm
ing extent. We are satisfied that this is the only
course to take in order to stop the vandals from
seining and dynamiting, and this should be done
in every county in the State. The scamps who
seine and dynamite can be caught in scarcely
any other way. Persons cannot spend
their time in hunting up violators of the
law unless they are paid for it, and the
State has made no provision for paying for such
services. Those who are anxious that the fish
shall have protection should manifest that anx-
iety by aiding and assisting with their means
the efforts of the Fish Commissioner to bring
the vandals to justice. A few examples of the
big guns will stop this vandalism entirely. If it
be allowed to run wild, in two or three years it
will be impossible to take a fish with hook and
line from any of our streams, and then it will
take from two to three hundred thousand dollars
wherewith to restock the streams.
Those of our fellow citizens fond Of the gentle
art, and who desire to afford protection to the
fish we have, Il not called upon, can call at the
People Office and leave there five or ten dollars
in behalf of the good cause. We know there
will be no immediate rush, and hence those who
do respond will be all the more welcome. and
their liberality all the more worthy to be noted. y
