Conspicuous among those who are help
ing the poor in New York is the name OF
Charles Broadway Rouss, who recently pre-
scented two thousand loaves of bread to be
distributed among the poor, and later gave
$50 to another charitable cause in that place.
The following letter, written to the New
York Herald by Mr.. R., was published in
that paper;
Il enclose little lift-a contribution to

"With very hest wishes,

The sick and delicate need gentle tonic
stimulant II is often a matter Of life and
death with them. The ideal nutrient and
restortive is pure whiskey. The whiskey
usually given is poor aud, therefore, dan
gerous. Too much stress cannot be laid
upon this. Weakened systems need a ma
ture, wholesome, mellow liquor. That's
precisely what the l. w. Harper Whiskey
is. Perfect as beverage or medicine. 1t
prevents chills and tones up the system. 1t
is vitality from natures laboratory. 1t ex-
hilarates and does not poison, for all fusel
oil and impurities are removed. That's
why doctors drink it. It's good for the sick
and old and excellent for the young and

The long advertised reply OF Senator

is go much OF disappointment that there
is no occasion to give IL much space. It
has neither the dignity Of a serious argu-
ment nor the fire OF an impassioned ha-
rangue. It does not state the Texas Sem

dices. the grafton OF Tuesday bears all OF
tho marks OF that well-known method Of
evasion, suppression. and vague generali-
zation which seeks to accomplish an odious
purpose In haste and under cover. before
the people are awake to the consequences.
In few passages the pure socialism and

as II 1t had been rather carelessly edited

Going the Wrong way.

Judge J. K. HINES. who is described az a
prominent lawyer and Democrat Of Atlanta,
has published card announcing his with
drawal from the Democracy. He desires to
be known hereafter as Populist, and pro-
poses TO run for offlce as Populist.
We have no doubt that Judge HINES is
strong for the Populist income tax. Such
being the case. he very properly sewers his
nominal connection with a political organ
isation whose fundamental principles are
opposed to any form OF taxation which robs
either the many for the benefit Of tho few.
or the few for the benefit Of the many.
We are sorry to see any former Democrat
going the wrong way; but 1t is nevertheless
true that when Populistic convictions and
the Socialist craze have seized upon and
taken possession Of n Democrats mind. the
only credltable or honorable thing for him
10 do is to quit the party.
There are many other statesmen now
active. Southerners particularly. who ought

layed after acceptance. until crews can be
procured for them. Sooner or later, how
ever. there must be an increase in the en-
listed force. and presumably only the con-

made now. A moments reflection on the

from Celtic sources. 1t was said OF WASHING
TON. Mature made him childless that he

Mature left 1t childless that It might be the
mother Of other literatures"
The Celtic language Is not dead language.

Isle lin round numbers. 100000 personsI un-
derstand Erse; 5000 persons there know no
other language than 1t; ons-third OF the ter
ritory OF Ireland is still Celtic. SO far as the
ability to understand the language is con-
cerned; and upward OF 2. .OOO. 600 in this coun-
try and Canada are familiar with the tongue.
The society In Providence was begun under
most favorable auspices. Tho Rev 7. L. RYAN
originated the movement, and was seconded
by such students OF Celtic and oth her lar guages
as Mr.. JEREMIAH O'SULLIvAS. President Of the
Boston Philo-C Celtic Society President ANDREWS
