THE SIMPLEST or CHARITIES.

The work of THE TRIBUNE Fresh-Air Fund
has been conducted this season without dl-
rect appeal to its patrons in town or country
The subscriptions have come in without solic-
tation. amounting on August II to S22,-
$751; and 5000 children have been sent out
of the city for their fortnight in green fields
and pastures new. This is most remarkable
exhibit of the operations of the Fund, and
possibly it should deter us from making an
appeal toward the close of the season for adj
ditional support. The manager, however, is
able to make arrangements for sending many
more children to homes in the country where
they will be most Hospitality received, and
where everything will be done for their com
fort and pleasure. Applications arc received
every day from a large number OF families de-
string to entertain children. Last week !. 53l
little ones were taken into the country, and so
great is the pressure for invitations that thou
sands Of children who are eager to get change
of air could be sent away before the middle OF
September if the money required for their
travelling expenses were in the treasury. The
subscriptions unfortunately, have not kept
pace with the calls received from the country
for children.
Generous as the friends Of the Fund have
been this year, the treasury is now empty ana
must be filed at once if the work is to be con-
tinucd for four weeks. Subscriptions have
already been received from 7O7 different
sources, but doubtless there are many in IIE
TRIBUNE's circle Of readers who will be glad
either to double their bounty, if they have al
ready given, or to help on the good work OF
caring for the poorest Of poor tenement chill
drcn by contributing without delay. Large
subscriptions are needed, and the children Will
be sent away as fast as the money is received.
More money has been contributed and more
good has been done this year than ut CORE
spending period last year, so that there Is no
ground for complaint of any lack OF popular
support. But this season can be made ex-
ceptionally successful if the friends OF the
Fund will do what they can to replenSh the
treasury. The children are here impatientiy
awaiting their turn; pleasant homes in the
country arc open to them; money only Is need
ed-three dollars for child-tO send them ont.
Surely this appeal will not be made in vain

COMPULSORY IASURAyCE AGAINST SIck

Consul-GoneraI Rainc sends from Berlin
brief but interesting report on the recent work
ings Of the system Of compulsory insurance
against sickness. This is an auxiliary to the
system Of State insurance in case Of accidents.
There is also a project under consideration in
the Roichstag, as well as the various provincial
Legislatures Of the German Empire for max
ing provision for working people who reach an
advanced age, aud who, without some such
system, must become dependent upon others
or upon the public, if they have been unable
to make savings. Taken together, these meas
ures constitute a social experiment the prog

4 CASE FOR PRONPT ACTION.

Congress should act promptly in the matter
of the pension for the widow Of the great
fighter, Sheridan. It showed its appreciation
Of his achievements, and its willingness to go
a long way to crafty a dying soldier, when it
passed with substantial unanimty the bill rails
ing him TO the rank Of General. Now let it
display equal promptness and patriotic feeling
by passing at once the bill to make respect
able provision for his widow and his four
young children.
There is every reason why this should be
done. General Sheridan's services to the coun-
try were moro than picturesque and brilliant
They were heroic, and had great influence
upon the issue of the war. lie never left the
service, as one of our great trio Of Generals
did, but was in the harness the day he died
II was impossible in the nature Of things,
that with the social demands made upon him
he should have accumulated a competency out
of the moderate salary of his post. He died
really poor. 1t is not proper that the future
Of his widow and his young children should
depend upon the possible popularity of an I'M
tried book, or upon private aid. Phil Sherdan's
children should be the wards Of the United
States. Pass the bill, gentlemen

THE TRIBUNE yesterday announced thao
Mr.. r. NJ. Olyphant president of the Delaware
and Hudson Canal Company, had abandoned
Mr.. Cleveland and would support the Repub-
lcan ticket this year. To-day we present an
interview of some length with Mr.. ELEPHANT,
who calmly, but forcibly, sets forth his reasons
for his action He believes that Mr.. Glove
land is a Free Trader, and therefore that he
oucht TO be rebuked. The free-trade expert
ments heretofore have been failures and as
for the Mills bill, Mr.. ELEPHANT thinks that it
would greatly injure our industries, and that
il would not accomplish the object of reducing
the surplus. Mr.. ELEPHANT also calls attention
to the Democrats inconsistency in urging the
retention of taxes made necessary by the war.
MIR. Olyphant is one of the ablest and most in
fiuential business men in this city, and the
points which he puts so clearly and forcibly
will command wide attention and carry great
weight

One OF the results Of the Administrations war
fare upon American steamship lines was the en-
plovment of small steamers for carrying the mails
between Tampa and Havana Instead OF send
irc, tbc mails winter and summer, by steamers
plvine between New-Yorl and Havana, the former
postmastcr-Gcneral dispatched them by rail to
TAMPA and procured their transportation to Cuba
by steamers making the run in few hours 1t
Is ALTOGETHER probable that these mail steamers
have been largely instrumental in introducing
yellow fever into Florida There IS no adequate
system Of Quarantine at Tampa and passengers
inoculated with fcvcr-Gcms can land after so
short voyage without exciting suspicion. y
vcar ago two eases OF the disease were traced
directly to these little steamers which Mr.. Villas
bv his mail contracts had powerfully aided. The
patients had either escaped observation at Tampa
or else the disease had rot had time for develop
ment during the voyage 1t is probable that the
present epidemic originated in the same way. The
Administration had only one thought. Of course,
in this matter, and that was to hold back s400,-
600 which Congress had voted for the American
lines. 1t did not intend 10 open the back door
in Florida for Yellow Jack. Nevertheless one
foreign interest inevitably carries with it another,
and that distinguished stranger from the West
Indies has awaited himself Of lax and imperfect
quarantine rules.

Our Republican friends in this city who are

not forget the important duty that rests upon
them to-day of electing delegates TO the State

Miss White, a highly-respected
young lady, who lives near George
town, in this county, left last Thurs
day evening for Washington Terri
tory, where she goes for the purpose
of marrying a man she has never
met. The wedding was brought
about in a very peculiar way. Some
friends of the young lady moved from
this place to Washington Territory
some time ago. On bidding them
good-by she requested them to find
her Sweetheart" out there, and she
would come out. A short time ago
her friends informed her that they
had found a nice young man who
was very anxious to correspond with
her. She Immediately informed
them that the suggestion was
perfectly agreeable, so the correspond
ence began, photographs were ex-
changed, and proposal was made
and promptly accepted, notwith.
standing the protest of the young
lady's parents. Last Thursday she
came to the city and found that
there was a check awaiting her fol
800, sent to her by her lover for the
purpose of paying her fare tc
Washington Territory. Without any
hesitancy she mounted the mex
train, and upon her arrival at thai
point she will be united in marriage
to her unknown lover.
