To say that our charity had been very
stlnted would be drawing ir mildly" said
one enthusiastic supporter of the men,
bers' ticket, yesterday, land some of us
are In favor of more lberality in the
future. The pioneers are all of them
proud, even though they may be poor, and
these old men will 60 in actual want
almost to their graves without making
their circumstances known, when here
are hundreds and thousands of dollars
which the giver intended for just such uses
1t Will not avail US much 20 leave
substantial bank account III addition TO all
the property which the society owns, but
1t Will DO an inestimable amount of good If
we are permitted to use large part of our
n a0fG nf 7fa rit
members, and which at the same time
shall not come to them as a charity, but as
a snare OF what belongs to them.
Then, too, the policy of the society has
not been what it should be in other ways.
We give but $50 to defray members
funeral expenses and to his family, and it
is very meager for the first purpose, and
leaves nothing 10 his dependents, no mat
Ter what their condition.
w nat we urge is tue using of this vast
amount OF money, or OF large part of IL,
for the creation of a fund to be used for
such purpose. The interest on that sum
would amount TO about as much as our
whole beneficiary fund at present, princi-
pal and all. This Is the principle for which
the candidates on the members ticket
stand"
The question OF who is behind the
ticket, aud what.they want" will not be
asked again, but il was quite topic of
conversation at Pioneer Hall yesterday.
Matters promise to be still further cOmpli-
Gated by the placing of third ticket in the
field, but who will be its candidates, or
what their platform is, does not appear.
A. w. Won Schmidt is said to be 10 charge
of it, and there is good deal of guessing
as to the personnel of the candidates.
Meanwhile the members are being but
ton-holed at every turn by candidates on
the other tickets. and in the cardrooms

electiOneering
