HELP THE SEA ISLANDERS NOW
The Worlds" Relief Train
Starts on Saturday.
The Charitable Should Send Contrib

Only one more day remains for send
ing in contributions to The World's''
relief train for the Southern sufferers.
and those who wish to aid In this prac-
teal charity, which will bring comfort
and happiness to thousands of poor Sea
Islanders. should not lose this last OPP
p%ortunity Of showing their sympathy for
the distressed people.
As the train will start from this city
on Saturday afternoon. everything must
be sent in before tomorrow night.
Start your contributions to-day or carly
tomorrow, for II they are delayed until
evening they will not be received in time
to be put upon the train.
During the past few days parcels and
packages OF provisions and clothing
have been coming in rapidly, and con-
~tributions Of money have also been. nu-
merous; The stock Of supplies has been
gradually accommodating, and one car ar
ter another has been filled, so that now
there Is 10 doubt that the gift from the
people OF New York will be n generous
one. 1t will be a real Godsend to the
sufferers, and every n who has con.
tributed his or her mite to the general
fund may find that the gift will be
ankfn appreciated n that u WI
distress which prevails throughout the
stricken districts.
1t Is to be regretted that the contrlbu-
tons have not been larger, for there is
need of all that cen be sent. A half a

reach all the starving people who have
been made homeless and penniless by the
recent floods which ave swept over the
coast.
But the twelve carloads OF supplies,
which will leave this city on Saturday,
VIII be a big drop In the bucket in re-
lieving the widespread distress. and 1t Is

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Chronicle this

gram OF yesterday, dealing with the APP
pointment of Mr.. Roosevelt to the
United States Embassy in London, the
main contention was that money In
American politics s~upplanted merit as
a necessary qualification for diplomatic
as we'll IA for other kinds OF public
office-that IL. money to keep the party
machine well oiled.
I'm denying nov that the relations be
tween the American Ambassador and
his former secretary were strained the
trouble IL taken to contradict something
that We never alleged. Moreover, as this
latter statement disposes OF any possible
grounds for Mr.. Whites dismissal, that
dismissal, in the absence OF any friction
between Mr.. White and his chief, be-
comes all the more ineXplicable save on
the ground advanced by our correspond
emit, that Mr.. Roosevelt's campaign con-
trihutions had secured substantial recog-
milton from the President.

JLe origin Of S!1rchtng.

The course Of history carries us back
no further han the year 1884 for the
origin of starching in London. 1t was
In that year that Mistress Van der
Plasse came W tn her husband from
Flanders to the English metropolis "for
their greater safety.' and there pro-
Tossed herself a star cher. The best
housewives of the time were not long
In discovering the excellent whiteness
OF the Dutch linen as It was called,
and Mistress Plasse soon had plenty of
good paying clients. Some Of these be-
gan to send her rufus OF lawn TO starch,
which she did so eXcellently we'll that
It became n saying that II any one sent
her n run made Of a SPIDERS web she
would be able to starch It. So greatly
did her reputation grow that fashion,
able danes went to her to learn the
art and mystery OF starching. for which
they gladly paid n premium OF four or
five pounds, and for the secret OF seeth!ng
starch they paid gladly n further sum Of
twenty shillings.

They are all good men, capable, faithful

receive. the full support of their party.
The election OF Judge Maynard is In
doubt because a very large number Of
Democrats refuse to support him, for
the reasons that his nomination was in
opposition to the wishes OF the majority
of the Democrats OF the State, that he

THE cowARDLY MAKEsHIFT DEAD.

The most mischievous clause OF The
cowardly makeshift known as the Shcr-
man act of $780, is now blotted from the
statute book. It Is dead and buried ut
last. The Repeal bill was passed by the
House over the heads OF the bafled
flibusters early yesterday afternoon by
a vote of 1893 yeas to "a nays. or, more
than two to one. Before 40 O'Clock the
President had affixed his signature and
the bill was n law.
President Cleveland has won credit for
the steady determination with which he
adhered to the policy OF unconditional
repeal and refused to give CountenanCe
to any cowardly compromise. The
Democratic party has won credit for car
rying out in good faith that promise Of
Its platform which through cirCum-
stances had become the most pressing
and for the fulflment OF which the
extra session was called. Congress has
won credit for giving the financial and
business interests OF the COUNTRY at last
the aid they have been soliciting. The
Government will no longer buy silver
only to pile II up In the Treasury vaults,
idle and useless. and pay out gold for It.
All this is certain. But whether all
this will bring to the country at once
the benefits predicted and remove our
trade embarrassments on the instant IL
a question that remains TO be tested.
But obstruction Is over, and silver
purchasing has stopped. Now let us
hope that business activity will be re-
stored. and that II further measures
are needed Ito remove all our financial
endorsements our statesmen will give
us better laws than the "cowarlly
makeshift" which has just been laid at
rest.
