A FRAUDULENT CHARITY


Charity covereth a multitude of sins as
is notably illustrated in the case of the sol
dierS' orphan asylum established by the
state OF Pennsylvania at the close Of the
war for the purpose of rearing and educat-
ing the children of dead soldiers The
charity was noble one and many children
were carefully trained and looked after.
The plan was to take the children and
board, lodge and educate them until l6
years of age, and then find employ
ment for them. But the singular part of
it is that the supply of orphans seems TO
be ineXhaustibe. Although twenty years
have elapsed since the war closed, no less
than 500 of these sixteen-year-old orphans
Were discharged during the last year and their
places filled with younger ones. The fact
is that the board of managers have found it
profitable business TO take care of soldiers or
phans at the expense of the state, and have
perverted what was originally benefcent
public undertaking into private specula-
ton. What Pennsylvania means to do is
to convert its orphan asylum into a peni-
Tertiary for the benefit of the managers.

MANUAL TRAINING.

The most Interesting part Of the annual
message Of the mayor OF Boston is that
which is devoted 10 discussion OF the sub
ject Of manual training. During the past
year manual training has taken definite
form in the work of the Boston schools. A
short time before his visit to st. Paul Dr.
WOODWARD Of st. Louis had lectured in
Boston, having been invited by the governor
OF the state and mayor of the city 70 do so.
In his message Mayor O'BRIES made a
plea for manual training, because we owe
the workingman with his hands a greater
debt than we owe all the professions
put together, for he makes up
over 40 per cent. of the COM
munity. The mayor makes the additional
plea in behalf of manual training that, in
his opinion, no branch of education develops
the honesty and character OF boys and girls
equal TO such instruction. lie says i'm il
they are compelled to depend on themselves
almost wholly, and they are forced to see
that every mistake they make is their own
and that mistakes entail failure. Thus they
receive lessons intoxicating the necessity OF
honesty and carefulness that no academic

schools and carpenter shop have been es-
tabllshed for use In connection with the
common schools and devoted to the pupils
Of the city schools. all of whom can obtain
instruction day or evening. and it is fur
thermore proposed TO establish forthwith a
central high school of manual training par
allel with the famous Latin and English
high schools.

The HOLMAN bill for protecting the
purity of the ballot-box, now pending be-
fore the house of representatives. provides
that any person hereafter elected or ap-
pointed to Gil any Office of the United
States shall take the following oath:
II, ID, do solemnly swear or affirm that
have not directly or indirectly given, prom
ised, advanced or paid any money. or given
or conveyed any other article of value TO any
person or persons, TO assist, aid or procure
my election or appointment, and do further
swear or affirm that will support and defend
the constitution of the United States. So
help me God"
Imagine the CONSERVATION in the United
States senate If this form Of oath should
become part of the law. If the oath had
been required Of the present congress it is
probable that not more than One-third of the
seats would have been filled. Mr.. HOL-
MANS purpose is good one, but it is not
at all probable that his bill will ever become
law. In the first place it will be difhcult
to find a congress willing to sit down on
itself by making il penal offense to en-
ploy the very methods the majority of the
members used TO secure their seats in the
body. In the next place il is almost im-
possible to remove social and political evils
by legislative remedies unless there is q
strong public sentiment to enforce the
remedy.

INTERNATIONAL COURTESY.

The executive council of the American
exhibition at London makes official an
nouncement that the opening will be DO St
pOned for one year. This was done upon
the suggestion of Consul General WALLER.
who advised it as an act of international
courtesy due the English people because of
their desire to give prominence during the
coming summer to the Colonial and Indian
exhibition. Gov. WALLER was of opinion
that the holding of two great industrial ex-
hibitions simultaneously in London IN 1886
would be unfortunate for either one or the
other, and very likely for both, and as the
Americans were in one sense the guests of
the English, it would be the courteous thing
to do to postpone their opening until May,
1887. Director General WHITNEY acceded
to the business of this view and accordingly
ordered postponement. Commenting on
this change of date the American Eagle the
official organ Of the American exhibition,
says:
The representations of these two leading off,
Gals of the United States government are only
small part Of the pressure brought recently
to bear against holding the American exh ibi-
ton simultaneously with the Colonial and In
dian exhibition. Eminent Englishmen and
An orleans who fear the appearance of COM
petition in holding the two great exhibitions
concurrently, exhibitors requiring more time
and state commissioners whose legislative
appropriations are backward have united in
urging delay. These arguments led the ex-
ccutive Council TO believe that compliance

OpcCldl W
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The bureau of
Indian affairs has for number of years
maintained at New York city large depot
for the receipt, inspection and distribution
of all supplies purchased by the govern
ment for the support of the Indians.
Nearly all the blankets, clothing, farm i'm
plementS, groceries, etc, used by the gov
eminent have come from the New York
market. The bids for the supplies have re-
quired their delivery in New York. These
purchases aggregate 81, 900, 900 per annum.
Some times they have exceeded this amount
by an additional million. Nine-tenths of
the contractors, however. reside in the West
and there are quite number of them resi-
dents of Chicago. These gentlemen are
averse to the present system, which, con
sidering the rapid growth of the West, has
outgrown its usefulness. The supplies are
from New York shipped to the far West.
The government might under certain cir
cumstances be saved a great proportion of
the expense of transportation if the point
of receipt and distribution were TO be at
some point near the Indians.

Concerning Rivers and Harbors.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The committee
on rivers and harbOrs has extended a cordial
invitation to all senators and representatives
TO appear before the committee when their
states are reached in the consideration of
the appropriation bill, and set forth the
needs Of their sections. The committee
will meet on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays. Three conventions have applied
through their officers to the committee for
leave to appear and make arguments in
favor of the Improvements of rivers and
harbOrs. They are the South Atlantic
ports convention, the Navigable Improve
ment association and the Kansas City con-
vention. The requests will be granted.
The committee made some arrangements
preparatory to the formal consideration of
the appropriation bill, and discussed the
practicabilty of dispOsing at one time of the
rivers and harbOrs in each state instead of
separating the two subjects. 1t was finally
decided to follow that course.

NEW FINANCIERING,

Congressman BEN HILL of Ohio says
that if there is any truth in the statement
that silver dollar is only worth SIS cents
he will get his whisky for nothing the bal
ance of his life. His scheme is to patrOnize
the saloons where the price of drink is Is
cents. He can order drink, then plank
down a silver dollar, and the accommodate
ing barkeeper will return So cents in
change. Congressman Hills financiering
ability has only been surpassed by that of
the late lamented BENJAMIN BUTLER, who
would put down fat dollar worth nothing,
and would get IS cents in good money in
exchange.

city council relief committee is distributing

in several streets are frozen up and the
