ALAS fol- the rarity
OF Christian charity
IIndar the SUM-

a few days ago man, unable to 0ea' 'no
"sl,pes and arrows OF outrageous fortune"
or the heartacbes occasioned by the kno"i'
edpe of his inability to meet his require
menes as a supporter and helper OF a de-
pepdent family, in an hour Of gloomy fore
holding that SO often steal DER the soul and
makes more apparent its darkness, made
his ouietus, that himself might not be an
obstacie to the better condition of those ne
left behind. He was brave man, as atteHt
ted by b!s deeds reared amid plenty, high
strung and consequently sensitive, ana
though possessing the traits that 60 to make
q hero, was unfortunate and unsulted BY ma
ture to the drudgery Of life-hiswaS failure;
and in the belief that bis removal would Do
biz ssing rather than curse, he chose to
lay down mis- life in preference to making a
prolonged struggle. And all this happened
in the midst of 8 community conspicuous for
its charity, yet, where like the world over,
that charity is most abundant where most
noted. 10 contrast with the suffering so
often known to exist, but go frequently
known too late, is the constant cry for help
to perpetuate by "storied urn, or animated
bust" the memory of the dead who could
they speak would increasingly cry, "Aid and
help the living-our deeds are already
written on the pages of history, and will
live forever" Were there more of christian
charity that "blesses him that gives and
him that takes" and less of ostentation, the
credit for which only rebounds to the donor,
how much better 1t would be for the living
and the dead.

filed OF Wednesday, and the text of
which appears in this issue OF THE
HERAzD. It is in reference to the case
of Mr.sRudger Clawson, and wifi apply
to many others similarly situated. AR.
Clawson had been convicted and
served part of his sentence, when he
was yardoned by the President of the
United States, the pardon carrying
witt it restoration Of all his rights as
an american citizen. Mr.. Clawson
was denied the privilege of registering
by the local officer, on the ground that
he could not subscribe to the oath
that he had not been convicted of VIC
lsting any provision of theEdmunds-
Tucker act. He appealed from the de-
eision of the registration officer to the
Commission, which now decides in
favor of Mr.. Clawson, that he is en-
titled to citizenship in all that it i'm
plies. The decision affects all those
parties who have been perdoned by
the President, and permits all to have
their names placed upon the registration

On the other hand, let US admit the

this policy will result in the
distress of the people, and the
Uphuilding of the rich and tie impov-

RAPID TRANSIT FOR THE CITY

There seems to have been engendereo
some acrimonious feeling over tht
rival petitions for franchises for rapid

childish. 1t is SO. Evidently there are
those who think our city ripe fol

habit of giving Gway our franchises
many want chance at it.

Justly be maintained that those who
support the city transportation will re-
ceive the consideration that would be
extended them we're there q competing
line. The idea is not that every line
should be paralleled and ruin0us wal
be maintained, but running in the
same general directions and towards
given points, advantage would follow to
the citizen if there were a choice o!
routes to citizens. If this be faulty
idea, then the other claim must be
that all city routes should be under one
control; and fer this no one Will con-
tend.
1t may bs urged that restrictions
can be placed ON the granting OF fran
chises under which companies can be
compelled to give satisfac ;ory service |;
but it is an expensive thing to force
cor pora5ions, even under the most def
mite and specific of contracts. 1t is
much better tosEeep It the other way.

well to start On the assumption that We
are large population to-day, end that
there are men here, or will be, as else
where, who will not hesitate to help
themselves even at the expense of the
public, if opportua nifty presents.
The transit service of the city will be
best if there is reasonable competition
and the public interests best be sub
served.
