SWEET CHARITY.
Different From the Standpoints of Chris
tianity and Citizenship.

Different From the Standpoints of Chris.
tiauity and citizenship.
Charity is a very simple thing when you
look at it from the standpoint of the good
Christian, but it is very complex when
you look at it from the standpoint Of tho
good citizen, and there seems to be an in
stinctive effort on our part to reconcile
two duties by u certain proportion which
we observe in giving. Whether we say SO
to ourselves or not, we behave as if it
would be the widest folly to give at all in
the measure Christ babe, and by an apt
psychological juggle we adjust our succor
to the various degrees of need that present
themselves
To the absolutely destitute it is plain
that anything will be better than nothing,
and SO we give the smallest charity to
those who need charity most. dare say
people will deny this, but it is true, all
the same, as the reader will allow when he
thinks about it. We act upon kind OF
logic in the matter, though l do not sup.
pose many act consciously upon it. Here
Is man whispering to you in the dark
that he has not had anything to eat all day
and does not know where to sleep. Shall
you give him 81 to get good supper and
q decent lodging? Certainly not. You
shall give him dime and trust that some
one else will give him another, or if you
have some charity tickets about you then
you give him one of them and go away
feeling that you have at once bcfricndcd
and outwitted him, for the supposition is
that he is u fraud and has been trying to
work you.
This is not a question which affects tho
excellence of the charities system. know
how good and kind and just that is, but it
is question that affects the whole Chris
tian philosophy of giving. A friend, whom
was talking the matter over with, was
inclined to doubt whether Christ's doc
trine was applicable in its sweeping sim
plicity to our complex modern conditions;
whether it was final, whether it was the
last word, as we say, OF course it does
seem little absurd to give to him that
asketh, when you do not know what he is
going to do with the money, and when you
do not know whether he has not come to
want by his own fault or whether he is
really in want ribulations of Cheer.

People are querying by what right the
President has dispatched the Atlanta to
the Cuban coast to assist the Spanish
cruisers In hunting down Cuban flibus-
terers. Is this the price to be paid Spain
for settling that Mora claim, which she
long ago acknowledged? 1t Is proper for
the administration to do what It can to
prevent filibustering expeditions from
leaving our ports but to send cruiser
into Cuban waters to act In conjunction
with the Spanish cruisers and permitting
Spanish war vessels to patrol our coast
within the three mile limit is zeal on
the part of the administration that isn't
called for, more, that isn't decent. A
warship in Cuban waters to protect
American interests Is what is needed and
Spain should be told that we will do all
the patrolling necessary in our own
waters.

Colored Masons.
Boston Transcript)
The celebration by the colored Masons
of the hundredth anniversary of the char
tering of Prince Hall Lodge brings to
mind the argument of the late Lewis
Hayden to prove that the colored Masons
were not interlopers In the Massachusetts
Grand Lodge jurisdiction, but that on the
contrary the Grand Lodge was trespasser
upon the territory Of the colored Masons.
The argument was contained IN an ad-
dress, entitled Grand Lodge Jurisdic-
tional Claim or War of Races, " delivered
by Mr.. Hayden in his capacity of grand
master of African Lodge No. 459, on the
cath of June, 1864. According to Mr..
Hayden, Prince Hall Lodge was undsr
dispensation from the Grand Lodge of
England as early as 1775 and received its
charter from that body in 1854. or sixteen
years before the now existing Masonic
constitutions of Massachusetts. There
were, prior to 1899. two grand lodges in
Massachusetts-St. Johns Grand Lodge,
holding charter from the grand master
of England, and the Massachusetts Grand
Lodge, emanating from the grand master
of Scotland Each claimed exclusive iur-
isdiotion, the claim of each being denied
by the other. Lewis Hayden used to pride
himself upon the strength. OF his conten-
ton, and it must be admitted that he
made out good case from his standpoint.
