"Onaritvn Without ConpassIon.

Several years ago one Mrs. Steele was so
deeply affected with charitable concern for
the ignorant and forlorn condition of the
negroes of Tennessee that she took up a
large collection throughout all New Eng
land and went to Chattanooga to found
what she called the Steele Colored Orphans
Home and established herself as general
manager at a comfortable salary.
By forming board Of trustees composed
of local ministers Of the gospel she managed
to enlist small modicum Of local sympathy
and pecuniary assistance. Yet she made res
gular trips to the east in search of funds,
scattering broadcast her walls for the ''poor
and miserable negro" for whom she claimed
to be doing so much noble work.
Sympathetic people seem to have Clipped
in pretty literally for the past eleven years
and enabled Matron Steele to prosper
greatly.
Not long ago she employed four young
ladies from Ohio and Indiana colleges to
teach the dusky young idea mental marks
'manship. Very soon after their arrival the
young ladies unanimously left the institu-
ton.
Before going they took occasion to make
narrowing revelation of the barbarities
practiced by the philanthropic matrop upon
the helpless orphans under her charge.
Thereupon the trustees ayailed themselves
of the power vested In them to make O
thorough investigation Of the charges that
disclosed such condition of affairs as to
warrant the board in peremptorily remov-
ing MrA Steele from the control Of the To-
stitutlon. How long this deplorable state
of things has continued can only be con-
jeotured.
Entlrely too many Of these wandering
philanthropists go into the begging business
only for what can be made out of the enter
prise by working upon the sympathies of the
oharitably disposed. Rigorous punishment
in every instance is what such people should
receive.

South Carolina republicans seem to be
strongly inclined to shut out the imam and
brother" even more riRidly than formerly.
Not only Is he to be excluded from office as
usual but also from the G. o. p. organiza-
tion in the state. Measures have bsen
adopted by the white republicans OF the
state to flock by taemselves in future In SO
Strikingly distinct manner that the casual
observer may readily distinguish the exact
point where the blacks leave off and the
whites begin. This they regard as en- improve
ment upon past conditions But they seem
30 forget that the blacks arc far the more
numerous and might manage TO acquire q
party "pull" that would prove mighty un-
handy to buck against.

Has the Speaker Made e s6istake,

Has the Speaker MACE LiStekes
It's a question whether Speaker Crisp
has acted wisely in making Mr.. Springer
/ chairman Of the ways and means commit
tee instead Of M Mills His course in this
matter Is certain to cause a great deal Of
| dissatisfaction in the party. It is true Mr..
Mills did not take his defeat for the speaker
ship IN manly way, and bis refusal to
suggest that the nomination Of Mr.. Crisp,
bis succs ssful opponent, be made unanimous
was rather ungracious act. Still. Mr. Mills
is about the most prominent member OF the
democratic side Of the House aud OF his
ability there is no question. He is a much
ADLER man than Mr.. Springer and he has
the confidence and respect Of the House and
the country to a much greater degree.
1t was hardly to be expected that he
would accept the second place on
the ways and means committee =
committee Of which he had
once been the chairman-and the Offering
of a subordinate place on the committee
which shspes tariff legislation to the most
conspicuous champion in the House Of the
tariff doctrine Of the Democratic party
may be construed as indicating purpose
in the approaching national contest.
It is true that Speaker Crisp said that
bis nomination to the speaker
ship meant no backward move
ment so far as tariff reform
is concerned, aud there IS no doubt that he
made the statement In all sincerity, but
may not the RELOCATING Of Mr. Mills to the
rear have a dampening effect upon tariff
reform in spite of his purpose that it shall
| not?
Mr.. Mills has many strong friends-some
| OF Ehem the most conspicuous Of the party's
leaders-and they feel that In denying to
Mr.. Mills the place which precedent gives
him the speaker has made q mistake. They
are not without apprehensions that 1t
will be productive Of harm to the party.
The democracy cannot afford TO have the
| impression get abroad that 1t is less earnest
| in behalf of tariff reform than heretofore,
and there is possibility that the shelving
of Mr.. Mills will have tendency TO create
that impression.
One Of the reasons the speaker has. proba-
bly,, for giving the ways and means
Craftsmanship 20 Mr.. Springer is to bring a
northern man into prominence and thus
prevent the republican press from saying
that the south is absolutely In charge Of
legislation in the House. The majority of
the ohairmanships will have to go to south
ern men because they have earned them by
long service. Most of the northern demo-
cratic members are new men. If the fore-
going reason for the speakers course la the
ways and means Craftsmanship matter is the
true one 1t must be admitted that 1t is a
pretty strong one, bat Is it sufficiently
strong to justify his actioni

Possibly there was not In thestate Of Mich
igan woman who more thoroughly be-
lIeved In perfect freedom than Mira Kate
Freeman. After keeping house at Detroit for
Mr.. Horig for a time she got into dispute
with the old man the other day and got
"riled." During the course of the argu-
ment she suddenly yanked out a revolver
and let go at him. But the gun did work
the first pop. Though Mr.. Horig
is past 90 he was still nimble
enough to jerk out his handy gun
and put two shots through the head of the
impetuous Mrs Freeman before she could
get the drop on him again. That laid her
out and he surrendered to the Detroit police.
This casual incident of northwestern life Is
interesting by way Of instituting a mighty
curious comparison. Comments are fire.
Quently made upon the readiness OF
the gun in these parts. Apparently
the marked difference lies In the fact that
though the Georgia man occasionally draws
and pops o male assailant for due cause IN
Michigan society the women as we'll as the
men seem to have always hacdy a gun
loaded for bar and ell the more particu-
larly dangerous because they don't know
how to use it.

Impetuous Cincinnati taxpayers actually
n1obbed the Hamilton county treasurer's
office the other day to contribute their
quota TO sustain the imposing pretentiona
of the Ohio politicians. 30 eager were
they to chip IN and avoid the penalty that
one excited citizen pulled out a formidable
revolver and offered the tax receiver the
pleasing alternative Of taking bis
money end giving On immediate re-
ceipt or absorbing the contents
Of the frowning gun. Such persuasion
could not be resisted. So he got the re-
ceipt. But that Incident 80 excited the
crowd that others began to impulsively
lombard the windows with oobblsssones

inspires the people to an eager zast for un-

Two stout young men bearing heavy
leather sachel between them recently
walked up TO the cashiers window In the
Chicago custom house and deposited their
burden on the counter. When the sachel
Eas opened tho Chicago MdH saw 81, ,000
In gold and greenbacks counted out and
paid over to the cashier. This large sum
was for duties on portion of large in-
portation Of dn.plate from Liverpool.
Transporting 1t from the seaboard will
alone require three freight trains of twenty
five cars each. All together the consign-
ment consists Of about 1000 boxes of tin
plate They weigh something like 1880 ,0OC
pounds, and the whole duties amount to
$50, 600 Bear In mind that presidential
campaign is coming on and the manufacture
OF large quantities Of American tin-plater
may prove necessary TO stimulate public

Persistent attempts have lately been made
to prove that Mrs. Cleveland was in such
poor health that her robust husband must
essentially retire from the arena of national
politics in Difference TO her wishes. But the
latest direct reports conclusively show that
the canard was merely started for political
effect and that Mrs. Cleveland is not now
aud hos not been at all seriously Ill. Doubt
less the fabricators would have most will
ingly fastened the story Of Interesting and
fragile convalesoence upon Mr.. Cleveland
were it not that his patiently robust health
precIuded such possibility. Something
moro substantiai than an absurd canard
will be required to defeat Cleveland.
