An Excellent Idea.

Miss Elizabeth Voltz, of Pittsburg,
advances a novel and valuable plan to
aid the deserving poor. Observing, one
year ago, how inadequate were the rou-
tine agencies of relief to cope with un-
usual and widespread urban desttu-
ton, the thought occurred to Miss Voltz
that each church should have, in connec-
ton with its regular parish work, what
may be described as a church benefici-
airy society, somewhat after the model
of many secret societies. BY institut-
ing small monthly assessments, re-
serve fund would soon be collected,
which could be applied to the relief not
only of physically disabled members,
but also to honest unemployed members
whose idleness is not the result of
choice.
The class which Miss Voltz especially
desires to reach Is that considerable
number Of persons in every community
who, while too proud and sensitive to
accept public aims, are nevertheless
needful and deserving of assistance.
BY admitting these persons to church
beneficiary society upon equal terms
with wealthy and well-to-do members.
she contends, not without reason, 1t ap-
pears to US, that this reluctance would
be modified If not wholly overcome.
There would, in her plan, be no publi-
cation of beneficiaries, A regular COM
mittee would have charge Of all appllca-
tlons for relief, and, while expected to
sift the unworthy ones from the worthy
assuming that some unworthy per-
sons would, despite the best of precau-
tions. somehow gain memberships
could be pledged to secrecy in the mat
ter and could perform its function with
out offensive show.
The wealthy members of such So
ciety would not need to call for benefits,

BOURBONISM DEFINED.
BY Colonel Henry Watterson.

There has existed. and there still exists,
in the Democratic party, an element
which obstinately refuses to see anything
until the opportune moment has passed.
This element could not, or would not, un-
derstand or admit the results of the war;
but insisted upon policy of resistance
and obstruction to accomplished facts
long after the futilty of such a policy
was manifest TO the great body of think
ing people. 1t arrayed itself in every pos
sible way against the national credit, and
on the side of unsound fiscal notions,
when intelligent men saw plainly upon
that line only defeat and ruin staring the
party in the face. Driven from Reac-
uonism and Greenbackism, and planted
upon high ground by the teaching and eX-
ample of the Sage of Gramercy park II
/ seized the first opportunity to repudiate
Tflden, returning only to its allegiance
I. when it was too late. Rescued from
twenty years of laundering by a miracle
in 1884, it so hesitated and quibbled as to
lose the election in 1883, but brought back
in 1892 by a tidal wave, as soon as II
found itself safe and snug at Washington,
II proceeded TO kick the fat into the fire,
according to its wont and bent, until, in
turn, 1t has been kicked into kingdom
come by an outraged public sentiment
among Democratic voters. The story is
dreary enough; but Democrats may read
1t, and ponder over 1t, with cver-increas-
Ing profit: and no part of 1t is more In
structive than its latest chapter.

FEELING QUITE WELL.
Brother Henry Watterson.

Brother Henry Watterson.
The editor of the Courler-Journal finds
himself the subject of a good deal of loose
comment of the sort which always follows
an event of universal interest, like the
late landslide. The general purpose
seems to be not to state and then to con-
demn, what he. actually did that was
wicked or said that was mistaken; but
to make u man-of-straw congenial to the
caprice Of the moment. to invest this man
of-straw with certain opinions suited to
the end in view, and then--by way of
showing the skill or wit of the self-con-
stituted judge and eXecutioner--to topple
the poor thing into puddle pre-
pared in advance to receive 1t
with splash. On the present occasion,
all the old adjectives, like toy-horses, are
trotted out. All the old adverbs are
made to do tin-soldier duty. Erstwhile,
the object of this vicarious and nominal
castigation has got away with three
square meals a day, knocked the spots out
Of eight hours of sleep each night, and had
of life in general the lot which falls to the
happy philosopher whose digestion is per-
feet and whose conscience clear.

One Trap That Is Vain.

An ingenious argument is made by
the Denver News, the leading western
organ of the Populists, why its party
should relax something of its paternal-
istic tendency until it gets people into
the habit of voting its ticket. The
News contends that if the Populists for
a time concentrated their energies in
behalf of free bimetallic coinage at the
ratio of 16 to l, they would enlist the
support of all western friends of silver,
many of whom take no stock in the
government ownership of railroads or
the sub-treasury plan. The party is
too young, it thinks, to scatter over so
many sweeping reforms at one time.
Get following, says the News and do
one thing at time.
There is a semblance of wise philoso-
ply in this counsel; but did the News
ever pause to reflect that lin vain
is the net spread in the sight Of any
bird?" Notwithstanding occasional
ebullltions of class prejudice and mob
Llewelling and Pennoyer into tenn
porary official prominence, the west
just as certainly as the east, is domi-
mated upon the whole by intelligence,
thrift, character and common sense
These elements in its citizenship are
not to be entrapped into a Populistic
alliance by such transparent artifices
as that which the News would employ
They are favorable to free silver coin
age, 1t is true, but above and beyond
all that, they realize that they must
present their side of the currency ques-
tion nationally and conservatively, as
BELTS level-headed men, and not give
1t momentum through the mechanism
which includes within its most active
membership every rag-tag and bob-tail
revolutionist from the Mississippi river
to the Golden Gate
AS the organ of this Heterogeneous
political army, it suits the News pur-
pose to convey to its western readers
the false impression that the east, as a
section, is animated by hostility to.them
and eager to take unfair advantage of
their necessities. The News performs
dts part in this political conspiracy OF
misrepresentation with patience and
a dexterity worthy of a better cause.
But the fundamental tenet of its teach
ing is none the less untrue. The intelll-
gent men of the west are beginning to
realize-if, indeed many of them have
ever failed to realize it-that the drift
of sentiment in the eastern states. as
well as in the central and southern
mates, is in the direction of fair and
reasonable concession to silver: not
'adical, not revolutionary, not such as
would upset and overturn the present
avs of honorable commerce; but yet
mfiicently progressive to meet conser-
'ative western needs. These people
Will not, in the face of this obvious
raud, be drawn into any incongruous
alliances with haphazard economists of
he David H. Waite and Lafe Pence
ype; but will prefer to treat, as men of
tense and standing, with men who
correspond, knowing full well that the
innate patriotism and fair-play Of the
American people will yet dictate a safe
md just settlement Of the silver
problem.

THE RIPENED LEAVES.

Said the leaves upon the branches
One sunny autumn day:
We've finished all our work, and now
We can no longer stay,
So our gowns of red and yellow,
And our sober cloaks of brown,
Must be worn before the frost comes,
And we go rustling down.
We've had a jolly summer,
With the birds that built their nests
Beneath our green umbrellas,
And the squirrels that were orr guests
But we cannot wait for winter
For we do not care for snow,
When we hear the wild northwesters .-
- We loose our clasp and go.
"But we hold our heads up bravely
Unto the very last,
And shine in pomp and splendor
AS away We fiutter fast.
In the mellow autumn noontide
We kiss and say goodbye,
And through the naked branches
Then may children see the sky"
Margaret e. Sangster.

Charity Begins at Home

Apropos of General Booths visit to
America, to collect 100000 to help ex-
acute his plan Of temporal redemption
Tor Darkest England" Kate Field
!renchantly observes:
What commentary on England is the
presence among us of General Booth, in
The role Of a beggar for humanity's sake
Think Of 1t. England is the richest coun-
ny In the world. All nations pay tribute
o her. She is everybodys creditor. She
oans money to China and Japan and
Egypt and North and South America, AMI
grows fat on the interest that is often
Rrung from her debtors at the point of
he bayonet or with the lash Of the whip.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1894-11-30

She has so much capital as to conquer
continents and islands in order to invest
1t, and yet she let's General Booth appeal
to one OF her largest debtors for miser-
able 100000. though his Human Redemp-
tion scheme returns n profit of 31h per
cent. in cash! What would England say
If an American Booth crossed the water to
beg for 100000 with which to save the
souls of our criminals, the majority of
whom are the products of Europe?
There are many persons ready to re-
ply that this is thoroughly character
istic of England. At the same time
it may be well not to overlook the fact
that charity should begin at home on
this side the water, as we'll as on
the other. The condition of Darkest
England should concern the philan-
thropic people of this country when they
are assured that there is no longer a
Darker America calling for their hu-
name Intervention. Just at this time
we are convinced that if every agency
which ministers to the relief of the
heather in foreign lands were to throw
its entire resources into the scale of
home charities, reinforcing domestic
beneficence, the sum of this energy
would be none too great to right existing
home evils.

CHATS BY THE WAY.


Today's chat is suggested by the fol-
lowing editorial from the Wilkes-Barre
Leader: There is one thing about Scrau-
ton that compcls our admiration, and that
Is the intense pride Scrantonans have in
their city and their willingness to sound
It's praises at all times All classes there
come under this influence. Not only the
politician and business man in the board
or trade, but every mothers son of them
from the highest to the lowest Joins in
the paens that are constantly being sung
to Scranton's past achievements, pres
ont possessions and future possibilities
AS the boot black polishcs your shoes, il
you are an outsider he instinctively real
ICES the fact, and dscourscs to you, be-
tween rubs, on the greatness Of the steel
works or the wonders of the electric
systems. And now leading divine comes
forward with a sermon, bristling with
statistics and descriptions and predictions
that go TO show he is as much enamored
OF the place as any other, and as much
carried away by the spirit of ultra en-
thusiasm that so conspicuously animates
the people there. He takes the board of
trades estimate of the present population
or the city QO3,0OW without question;
speaks OF Scranton as being "at the nat
ural center of the richest coal deposits in
the world" with as much positiveness as
though it really were the fact, and goes
through all the other details of the reg
ulation story as though born to its tell
ing.
"All this counts. Outside attention is
compelled TO place when the people who
belong in 1t are thus eXuberant in pro-
claiming its immensity And when there

be but tithe of what they proclaim (as
Is also the case in Scrantom, the conse-
quent wide and vociferous advertisement
Is sure to bring practical results. The
Rev Mr.. Partridge, the divine referred
to, is unfortunately compelled, by defer
ence to the truth to give reverse side to
his picture, and after noting the nearly
1000 arrests that occurred during the past
year, and the existence of too many IL
ccnsed taverns, and more unlicensed than
licensed ones he says: Some council
men are bought and sold, voters are cor
rupted, juries are packed, corporations
have collars on their tools and outraged
justice cries out for the redress of wrongs.
We need men like Parkhurst in the pulpit
and pew of every church in the city. And
then to let his hearers down as easily as
possible, he added: Every city in the
land needs such an investigation of It's
city government 1t is pity, of course,
that the reverend gentleman was not per-
mitted by the facts to present only the
glories of his city, and had, in fairness,
to linger for awhile with those things
which are not exactly glories. But it re-
mains q truth nevertheless that the ser
mon bears all over 1t the earmarks of
Scranton,s infinite trust in Scrantons

and their assessments, little felt, would

prompt in paying their small assess

and there would, in this scheme of re-
