capacity to sink themselves sincerely.
humbly and completely in the cause. This
capacity to take Off ones shoes, step down
into the puddle and the ditch and help
the fallen to dry land is the quality of
John Howard. Elizabeth Fry, Dorothea
Dix. Florence Nightingale. The genius OF
these great workers does not belong to
many philanthropists, but their spiri;
must go with every philanthropist who
counts upon any success. No red tape or
ganization will take the place of it; for at
best that is but a help to guard society
against its parasites and impostors, but
the real, efficient charitable work must be
represented by naturalization, rather than
by paternafism. Every man and every
or child that is a deserving object of help,
and it is the business Of all of US who
know of such cases to speak quietly for
those who are silent amid much trouble,
misfortune and suffering.
Charity is like religion; the preaching
of it is very easy, rather agreeable bust
ness; but the practice of it in down right
earnest is hard work; it comes by nature
to few of US. There is surfeit Of preach
ing; if there were not the preachers would
not be all wondering why people do not
go to church, and there is a surfelt of
charitable talk; if there were not there
would be vastly more efficient charitable
action. The best thing to do is to rely on
the red tape. organized charities TO
search out systematically the char
acter of applicants for relief, and
thus protect the community against
impostors and parasites, but for those who
are seldom, if ever, applicants for relief,
until severe suffering forces them
to break their proud silence, another kind
Of help is wanted. The decent, self
respecting poor ought to find friends in
stead OF being referred to the engineers Of
philanthropic machine for red tape relief
The individual practice Of philanthropy
,rithin the circle of his oun absolute
knowledge is the duty of every man.
Every neighborhood knows who are
its worthy, decent, self-respecting poor,
and every neighborhood can quietly tide
them over their straits, or quietly secure
the delivery of relief in such a way that
the assisted person will not feel as if he
were an enrolled pauper, suffered to go at
large OF a ticket of leave. Organized char
tiles and bureau relief are all good in their
way, but the best work of relief for the
persons worthy of relief will always be
wrought by the philosophy of private in
dieiduaiisna rather than by that of official
pdternGlism applied 20 charitable work.

NOT PLEASANT FOR HILL.

When Cleveland promised Tammany
Hall the control Of the Federal patronage
in New York state and consented to the
candidacy of David B. Hill in 1896 proba-
bly, none OF the these high contracting
parties believed that Cleveland could be
elected without the vote of New York.
II Cleveland had anticipated that he could
win without New York he would have
made no terms with Tammany Hall and
Hill; and if Tammany Hall had believed
that victory was possible without New
York they would have seen that the con-
sent and support of Cleveland and his New
York friends would not be sufficient to
assure Hill the nomination in 1896.
Cleveland and Tammany together can de-
liver New York to Hill, but that delivery
would not assure Hills nomination by
the Democratic national convention. no
longer handicapped by the necessity OF
carrying New York to elect president.
The editor of the st. Louis Republic on
Wednesday evening last did not exagger-
ate the importance to the future welfare
of the Democracy and the nation of the
fact that New York is no longer indis-
pensable to victory in the national CAM
paign. Mr.. Jones said:

and most far-reaching significance of tuesdays

York upon the throat OF the party and transfers
political control to the sunset side OF the ALLIE
ghanies. 1t means an emancipated party.
Mr.. Jones is right, and honest, patriotic
men of all parties will rejoice with him
that Tammany hall and David B. Hill are
no more likely to select the Democratic
candidate in 1896 than they were before
they made bargain with Cleveland con-
corning the succession. Mr.. Cleveland

to submit to Tammany's dictation and
nominate Tammany's choice. The extent
of Cleveland's victory will prompt the
Western Democracy to nominate West

obliged to. decide whether he will get into
the bard wagon or be left behind. The
present outlook is that Tammany will not
nominate the Democratic candidate in
1886, and that David B. Hill is again
BADLY left"
Tammany has never yet nominated its
candidate for president in the Democratic
national convention. and is not likely to
do so in the near future. 1t is by no
means certain that Cleveland will now be
disposed to keep any promise made Tam

Serious stabbing ARRAY on the Water
Front.
Victor Gazzoleo. an Italian employed as a
hotel-runner, was seriously stabbed during
a quarrel with two rival hOtel-runners
named Joseph Companini and Franchi on
Jackson street. near Drumm, late last night.
Eranchl, who did the stabbing, has not yet
been caught by the police.
GaZZOleo, who Is employed as q runner for
the Pensio ne hotel at 3l4 Pacific street, met
Franchi and COmpaDini at the Oakland ferry
last night. There has been considerable
rivalry between him and Franchi who is
the proprietor of the Roma Hotel at S18 San
some owing to business competition.
Franehi and companion met their victim
at the ferry and had a quarrel over some
passengers which bad arrived Oh the boat
wOTdy war eDsued, which continued for
some time, when GaZzoleo started up Jack
son street on his way home.
Ills assailants followed him to the corner
OF Drumm street. where they renewed the
quarrel. Campanini struck GaZzoleo, knock
ing him down, and as he attempted to regain
his feet Frsuchi advanced with large
knife and stabbed him twice in the side,
inficting two dangerous wounds, one of
Hh ch penetrated the lung and another the
abdomen on the left side OF the body.
Immediately after the stabbing both the
asssllanis fed and left their victim lying in
the StTeet. GaZLpieo managed TO gain his feet
and staggered to the North Harbor Police
Station, where he informed the police Of the
stabbing and was sent TO the Receiving
Hospital for treatment, where he lies in a
dangerous condition.
Joseph Campanini, the man who struck
GaZzole0, was later arrested by Sergeant
Helms and Policeman Hall of the
North Aarber Police Station and booked
at the City Hall on a charge of assault to
murder. Franchi, who is said to have done
the stabbing, has not yet been arrested.

VIENNA, June 19-When Bismarck and
party arrived here this evening the rain
was falling heavily. Nevertheless great
crowd assembled. Inside the station were
gathered hundreds OF students and anti
Semitics, who literally mobbed the ex-
Chancellor in the exubeTance Of their en-
thusiasm. No representatives OF the
nobility or court were present 10 receive the
Prince.
The Journey from Friedrichsruhe to Vi
emma was a triumphant progress. At An
halt station, in Berlin, great many D0u-
Duets and baskets Of choice eX0tics were
handed to the Prince and Princess. The
cars relied out of the station amid thuD-
derous volley of cheers. and the enthusl asm
of the crowd did not subslde until The
train had disappeared in the distance. These
popular demonstrations were renewed at
all stations en- route to Dresden. The hearth
ness of the reception given TO the Prince al
Dresden moved the eX-ChancellOr TO tears.
In responding TO the greeting accorded
him, he said Il have devoted my life to
the service of the nation. This reception
eOnVnces NE OF my success. our mutual
friendship did not exist formerly. Let us
remain united nations Of brothers"
Having arrived at Vienna the Prince was
driven to the Pa!lfy Palace The whole
route, a distance of two miles, was lined by
a double column Of cheering and singing
enthusiasts.
1t Is doubtful if Prince Bismarck will ex-
eTcse his right as a wearer of The grand

The persons invited TO the wedding in
include all the foreign dinlOmats in Vienna.
Public interest In the affair, famed by the
newspapers has gro wn most intense. The
newspaper comments on the wedding are

have ordered one hundred carriages for the
