Orsnnise the Charities.

The committee that was appointed by
the mayor 70 distribute the donation o.
the Savannah Benevolent Association
have discovered one very important thing
and that Is the Imperative necessity for
an organization Of the city charities I'M
der one head. Although they did not IN
dertake TO respond to Individual applica-
tons for assistance they became satisfied
from what came under their observation
that the different charitable organizations
are travelling over the same ground. and
perhaps to a very considerable extent. are
duplicating their charitable work In
other words. there are persons who are
drawing help from two. or perhaps all
the charitable societies. while there are
other and more needy persons who are
getting no help al all.
It must be apparent that the way the
charity work is done. each organization
carrying on its work Independently of ev-
cry other that there is nothing easier
than for persons to get aid from every
one OF the societies. There are needy
people who would not Of course deceive
To
but it is pretty safe to say that all who
are seeking aid are not so conscientious.
The Morning News called attention
day or two ago to the necessity for an
organization of all the associations en-
gagged in dispensing charity, so that the
work could be done systematically. thor
oughly and impartially. but il anything
has been done on the line Of the sugges-
ton we have not heard of it. If nothing
should be done the 5000 of the Benevo-
lent Association will do comparatively lit
tie good. There will be some who will
get much more than they are entitled to.
because they will apply to each one Of
the organizations to which the money
has been given for distribution, and. as
it viii be practically impossible to know
what each organization is doing, they will
get help from all.
Before there is any distribution Of the
fund there ought to be meeting of tho
organizations and a plan Of work agreed
upon. 1t could at least be arranged that
each organization shall distribute aid in
a clearly defined section Of the city and
not elsewhere. If something like this is
not done there will be a drying up of the
sources Of charity, because people will
not continue to give if they are not salts
fed that the charity funds are distributed
wisely and to the best advantage.
In this connection it is not inappropriate
to call attention again to the need for an
almshouse. With an institution of that
kind the work Of providing for the abso-
lutcly needy would be greatly simplifed.

Jack Negly was one Of the mountainers
of the Cumberland whom I had known
better perhaps than any of them, says the
Detroit Free Press. for Jack had bor-
rowed a few dollars from me to buy
yoke of steers with. and the number of
times he came TO me to get the debt re-
newed brought me into very close ac-
quaintance with him. He was a farmer in
a small way, and he was never known to
be out of debt. He was a renter and at
least every other season he was occupying
different farm BY my advice he had
moved the year before into an entirely

usual haunts. and I had not seen him for

The attack on the hall in which ex-
Priest Slattery lectured last night is in
defensible from any point from which it
may be viewed. Mr.. Slattery had per-
init to lecture, and those who are hostile
to him should have remained away from
a very thorough investigation of the af-
fair, with the view of properly Furnishing
those who caused the disturbance. Had
not the militia been called out there might
have been a riot, and several lives might
have been lost. The good name Of the city
requires that the parties guilty of making
the disturbance shall be punished.

II is such narrow-minded men as sena-
tor PETER who are forcing the consonda-
ton OF the railroads. It is impossible for
him and men like him TO see that compe-
tition between the railroads instead OF
benehtting the people Is injuring them.
and that the railroads. under legislation
enacted by men Of the PETER kind. are
being forced 10 destroy competition by
consolidation in order 10 save themselves
from bankruptcy.
The pooling bill which has passed the
House was virtually defeated in the SEN
ate on Saturday. The railroad commits
sion favors legislation permitting the rail-
roads 20 pool their earnings, and so do
the most enlightened. liberal and progress
sive men Of the country. They under
stand that pooling is better for the rail-
roads and for the people than the compe-
tition which enables the big shippers TO
dictate terms for themselves and results
in the ruin OF the smaller shippers. The
people are not benefited by this competi-
ton. The big monopolies. like the Ar
mour Packing Company. get all the ad-
vantagcs that flow from fl.
when an attempt was made to get tho
pooling bin before the Senate on satur-
day. Senator PETER said he would under
take 10 talk it to death rather than per
nit it 10 pass. And who are the men who
are opposing the passage OF the bnl2 Are
they not those who force the railroads to
give them rebates or reduced rates? Az
ter the Atchison and Santa Te system Of
railroads had gone into the hands Of a
receiver it was found that one of the
causes of the bankruptcy OF that com
pany was the enormous amount Of money
something like 100000 or s5.000.OoO-
which the company had been forced 10
pay 10 large shippers in order to mold the
business of those shippers. And these are
the men-the large shippers-who, though
Senator PETER and men like him, are
preventing the passage of the pooling bill.
To get rid OF the exacuons OF these large
shippers the railroads are com bining. The
great roads are absorbing the smaller
ones. They are compelled to do so in or
der to destroy the hold which the large
shippers have upon them. At the rate at
which consolidation is now going on IL
will not be long before all the railroads
in the country Will be included in three Or
four great railroad systems, and then they
will be virtually Independent of the big
shippers, who insist that in the matter
of rates they shall be shown special IA
vors.
1t is strange that there are so many
men in the Senate who are unable to UNI
derstand that new factors are all the
time coming into the business of the
country. Many things that fitted the bust
ness conditions a few years ago arc
wholly out of harmony with those condi-
tions now. As long as men like PETER,
however. are influential in either house
of congress there is not much chance for
reforms. The ideas they were taught to
adhere to in their youth they adhere to
still The country has grown, but they
have not.

How Grandma Danced.

From the Saturday Evening Gazette.
Grandma told me all about it,
Told me so couldn't doubt it.
How she danced, my grandma danced
Long ago
How she held her pretty head.
How her dainty skirts she spread,
Smiling little rOSel
How she turned her little toes,
Long ago.
Grandma's hair was bright and sunny
Dimpled cheeks too. ahi how funny!
Really quite a pretty girl,
Long ago.
Bless her! why. she wears a cap,
Grandma does, and takes a nap
Every single day; and yet
Grandma danced the minuet
Long ago.
Now she sits there rocking, rocking.
Always knitting grandpa's stocking;
every girl was taught to knit
Long ago.
Yet her figure is so neat
| can almost see her now
Bending to her partners bow,
Long ago.
Grandpa says our modern jumping,
Hopping. rushing, whirling, humping,
Would have shocked the gentle folk
Long ago.
No, they moved with stately grace,
Everything i'm proper place:
Gliding slowly forward, then
Slowly courtsying back again,
Long ago.

The secret of Senator Irby's kick against
the deal made by eX-Gov. Tillman and the
conservatives of South Carolina probably
is that Irbys political position is critical
He was created, politically. by Tinman
Except for TillInan he would never have
amounted to a row of beans. In the deal
referred to he was not consulted; and for
the simple reason that there was no need
to consult him. Ex-Gov. Tillman is the
boss of the machine with the reformers.
What he says goes" Irby's chief func-
ton, as chairman of the state committee.
has been to sanction what Tillman has
said and put his orders into execution.
Whenever he was consulted 1t was by way
of courtesy and to save time. The failure
to take him into confidence in this
instance no doubt aroused in him the fear
that he is to be left to shift for himself
and it would probably be a short shift-at
the expiration of his senatorial term. 1t
is Senator Irbys belief that the reformers
ought to stick together for the Offices
The fear that he VIII be left in The cold
makes him desperate.

Talking Less RashIy.

The New York Tribune and the New
York World have discovered apparently
that the abuse they have heaped upon the
administration for the contract it made
with Messrs. Morgan and Belmont has not
increased the respect of the public for
them. The motive of the Tribune was
to make capital for the Republican party
The motive of the World was, it is thought
to make a sensation.
A Cincinnati banker named Rowe ap-
pears to have spiked the guns of the Tri-
bune, and the New York Sun. in short
editorial, took the wind out of the sails of
the World and left it becalmed in a sea of
it's own immoral motives.
In his communication to the New York
Tribune the Cincinnati banker said that
if it had not been for the pubic assur-
ance that Messrs. Morgan and Belmont
would use their utmost efforts to stop the
drain of gold from the treasury and to
keep the gold on this side, and if it were
not for the faith in their ability to do
what they aim at, the street and public
who are now clamoring for the bonds
would not take them at 1O5."
Credit is extremely sensitive and what
Messrs. Morgan and Belmont did restored
confidence and makes it possible to sell
the new bonds at 11Sia. This is the truth,
and the public men and newspapers that
have been condemning the administration
know that it is. Not much, if any thing
more win be heard from them.

The North Carolina House of Representa-
tives has merely made matters worse by
attempting to explain the affront to the
memory of Washington and Lee in refus-
ing to adjourn in their honor and later
adjourning in honor of Fred Douglass
According to the resolution of the House
published in our dispatches yesterday
the wicked Senate did it all, and the virtu-
Gus House was eminently correct in its
department But it appears from the rec
ord of the proceedings of the House writ
ten day by day by reporters of all parties
that the House resolution is deficient in
fact in some material particulars. There
fore, so far from silencing adverse criti-
csm, the House has laid itself open to
the charge of classifying the records to
hide its disgrace. It is to be regretted
that North CaroIina is in the hands of a
legislature which, while it may admire
the great apostle of miscegenation and
race hatred more than it does George
Washington and Robert E. Lee is def
cient in the courage of its convictions
So much for popuust and republican
coalition.

While some reform in the baling of cot
ton viii eventually be adopted. it might
not be amiss for the ship agents and 9TH
ers interested to discriminate reasonably
against improperly baled and badly COW
cred cotton The Underwriters would also
act wisely TO make concessions in favor or
well-cCvered cotton and of those markets
whose methods Of supervision reduce the
fire risk. These disciplinary measures
would enforce greater care in the prepa-
ration of cotton for market, and its hand
lrg in the different stages of its prog
ress from the fields to the warehouses
of the mills. They would also prepare the
way for a general adoption of needed re-
forms. such as those suggested at the

The populist party ought to insist that

road at sea into effect at once, whether
Great Britain agrees. to them or not. Is
not this country great enough to regu-
late its own ship signals? Can it not
govern its ships as it pleases? Must it
submit to John Bulls domination of the
signals to be exchanged at sea? AS a
matter of fact this country could, soli-
tary and alone. regulate the rules of the
road at sea just about as well as it could,
solitary and alone. maintain the value of
silver upon the terms proposed by the
