CHARITIES IN CONFERENCE
A Plan Adopted for the Relief OF
tho III Among the
Poor,

There was another conference yesterday
at the Second Unitarian Church of the
local charitable organizations, irrespec-
tive of religious denomination; for the
purpose of further considering plans for
alleviating suffering among the poor.
The conference decided to begin its con-
certed work by first looking after the sick.
President Woodward was authorized TO
appoint committee to take charge of this
matter at his earliest possible convenience.
As soon as the committee is announced
and is organized it will proceed to en-
ploy trained nurse who will be required
to look into every case of sickness re.
ported among the deserving poor. This
nurse will respond to calls coming from
every organization represented in the
conference-some twenty in ail-and the
plan is, in the event that one is found to
bs insufficient, to employ more.
After this matter had been settled by
the conference. Lawyer Robbins read an
interesting paper on the best method for
helping the unemployed. His advice
was that every church in the City, no
matter what its denomination, should
Immediately establish poor fund, and
itself atteud to every case of want within
its reach or hearing.

THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE.

The most noticeable article in the cur.
rent numb Der of the Forum is one by Sena-
tor Hoar dealing with the oft-repeated
charges that the Senate does not properly
represent the people. that it obstructs pub
lie business and that it is inferior to the
House as legislative body. To all oil
these charges Senator Hoar enters a de-
NAL and cites evidence 10 show that they
are unfounded in every respect.
The salient feature of the article is the
contrast made between the method of pro-
cedure in the House and that in the Sen.
ate. Obstructive tactics in the House, he
says, have become so common that it has
been found necessary to almost entirely
curtaii discussion. Appropriation bills
are passed as whole because the m aioriiy
OF the House agree with the Speaker that
1T Is not sale or practicable to trust the
Representatives OF the people to deal with
the items of expenditure one by one after
full discussion
This being the condition of the House.
1T is imperative according to Senator Hoar
that the Senate should allow ample time
for debate on every feature of every bill.
He says frankly:
The promptpess with which the House nj
Representatives deals with some important
questions is good thing; but Its capacity for
prompt action is purchased at the price of
repudiation of public debts and the suppress.
sion CT the constitutional rights, personal dig
nifty ana official authority of the great mass
OF lis men bers. Gentlemen occupy seats there
VINO from the beginning to the end of their
term OF service are not permitted to make q
motion or 10 utter word to the assembly OF
which they are members. Perhaps wise legis-
Iation may be secured while one House is con.
Quoted on that principles; but am afraid free
government would not long endure if it were
applied to both Houses.
The debates in the Senate are said bv
the Senator to be by no means so often
obstructed as is supposed. He defends
the mem bers OF that body against the at
tacks made on them by the Eastern mug
wumps and is particularly strong in point
ing out that the Western memb bers from
the new States are not the ignorant cranks
which the Eastern papers represent them.
The Senate as whole he claims is better
than ever before IN our history, and he
cites as proof OF it some of the outrages
ommitted in the Senate in the old DAYS
when drunkenness was common and the
slave power was supreme.
While holding that the Senate is a bet
ter legislative body than the House and
is better conducted than in former days.
Senator Hoar does not regard it as perfect.
He advocates the adoption of rules which
will put stop to the obstruction by mi
norities of the will OF the people and of
maiorities without sacrificing the right OF
reasonable debate and unlimited amend.
ment. He also declares we must devise
some means for securing the honest elec.
tion of Representatives and Senators.
These reforms he does not despair of ac-
complishing, and he sternly rebukes
those who "speak or think of these, the
best days of the American Republic, as If
they were the worst"

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

The action OF Senator Elkins in press
ing upon Congress an i'm m ediate consid-
Grafton of a bill providing for the ad-
vancement of our merchant marine is an
other evidence of the earnestness with
which the Republican leaders have set
about the task of fulfilling all the prom
ises and pledges made to the people in
the ST. Louis platform. While it is true
public interests require that the tariff bill
should be enacted before any other legis-
lation is attempted, it is nevertheless de-
sirable that preliminary steps for the
protection of American shipping should
be taken at once, and therefore the Elkins
bill is decidedly opportune and timely.
The st. Louis platform in dealing with
the subject of our merchant marine de-
cares: "We favor restoring the early
American policy of discriminating duties
for the upbuildlng of our merchant marine
ana the prote ction OF our shipping in the
foreign carrying trade. so that American
ships-the product of American labor en-
ployed in American shipyards, sailing
under the stars and stripes, manned, Off
cered and owned by Americans-may re-
gain the carrying of our foreign COM
merce"
The bill advocated By Senator EIkins is
in accordance with the principle declared
in the National platform. 1t provides for
a 10 per cent tax on all goods brought to
the United States in foreign ships. This,
it will be seen, will give an advantage to
merchants whose goods are shipped in
American vessels, and will have, there
fore a tendency to increase the profits OF
our ship-owners and materially advance
all the industries engaged in our merchant
marine.
The bill will meet with no little opposi-
ton. 1t has already been argued that dis
eliminating duties imposed by our Gov
ernment will lead other nations to retail
ate by similar duties. Such arguments
might be with equal force urged against
the whole protective system. 1t will be
remem bered that in the early days of the
Republic We praciiced a policy exactly
similar to that now advocated, and it re-
suited in such a development of American
ship building teat our flag was seen on
every sea and the greater portion of our
foreign trade was carried on in American
vessels. What was done once can be done
again. Certainly it is time that some ef.
fort should be made to build up our mer-
chant marine, and the bill of Senator
Elkins will be hailed as an important step
in that direction.

THE GLORY OF GREECE.

Whatever may be the outcome of the
Cretan crisis there can be no question
about the effect which the action of
Greece Will have upon its eventual solu-
ton. King George, by his courage, has
taken the problem out of the domain of
diplomatic intrigues and made it part of
that broad politics in which the people
play a part and have a potent voice in
determining the result. Public opinion
has now teen aroused on TIE subject and
the issue will never be settled untilit is
settled in accordance with the judgment
of liberal and enlightened men.
In speaking OF this phase of the situ-
alton. Mr.. Gladstone. in his recent letter
to the Duke of Westminster, said: ''It re-
mains TO be recognized that at the present
juncture Greece, whom some seem dis
posed to treat as criminal and disturber,
has by her bold action conferred a great
servic. upon Europe. She has made it
impossible to paIter with this question as
we paltered with the blood-stained ques-
ton of Armenia. She has extrcated it
from the meshes of diplomacy and placed
it on the order of the day for definitive
solution. / can remember no case in
which so small state has conferred so
great a benefit"
These words of Mr.. Gladstone in no
wise exaggerate what has been accom-
plished by King George and the Greek
people. The bold move OF sending a
Greek army to occupy Crete was in no
sense rash or inconsiderate. 1t was in
fact the most diplomatic step that could
have been takAn. 1t had the effect of TAX
ing the appeal from the court of diplo-
macy to the supreme tribunal of public
sentiment. Before that tribunal the
Greeks are now conducting their case with
as much discretion as courage. They have
not made single mistake and have only
to hold on in the way they have begun to
accomplish the ann exation OF Crete to the
Greek kingdom and thus prepare the way
for final solution of the whole Turks h
problem.
The confusion which prevails in the
councils OF the great powers is the best
possible evidence Of the wisdom of the
course adopted by the Greeks. All the
alliances formed to maintain the Turkish
EN- pire have proven useless in the face of
the new emergency raised by the courage
and the wisdom of the government at
Athens. At the present time neither of
the great nations knows what course TO
pursue. They are at discord one with an
other. and as in the politics of this world
a well-directed and resolute will never
fails to dominate hesitating, doubtful
and irresolute multitude, so will it be seen
in the end that the little nation of Greece
by the mere fact of having definite convic-
tions and the courage to fight for them,
will overcome the obstacles placed in her
way by the great powers and achieve a
victory as glorious as any recorded in he r
annals, not even excepting those that arc
associated with the field of Marathon and
The mountain passes of Thermopyle.
