THE POINT OF VIEW.

Croker prefers Murphy to Hill as leader OF
the New York state Democracy. This Is re-
fiection on Hill worthy 70 be applied 10 bet
ter man than the OK Senator. Croker is right,
however in saying that Hill is no leader. In
the last campaign Hill was not even fol-
lower. He did not follow Bryan he did not
follow Mckinley and he did not follow Pal
mer. He sat on the stile and continued to
smile without softening a single heart No
body can blame Croker for regarding Hill
with contempt. Murphy is a study for the psy-
chologist quite as mucn as for the politician.
A highly educated man, of very distinguished
appearance, his education does not keep him
above the political gutter. and his appearance
is no indication OF his character. King Charles
H. said Of one Of his nephews by marriage
that no had tried him drunk and had tried
him sober and drunk or sober there was
nothing in him. We are not aware that Muir
ply has ever been subjected TO the bibulous
test, but 10 the sober experiment ho has been
subjected. with result that demonstrated
his utter vacuity. Croker will be the real
leader If Murphy Is put in nominal CONTROL

AREMARKABLE CHA RITY.

Perhaps the most remarkable philan-
thropio organization in the world for the
rescue Of helpless children Is that OF DIR.
Barnados Homes for orphan waits, which
publishes the results of their work in q
periodical entitled, Might and Day, :"
and which recently held their 3lst annual
meeting at which tho young Duke Of
Marlborough presided.
The object of the Homes is the care of
boys and girls rescued from the slums,
to be educated, trained and placed in
positions of future ussfuIess ana tndupen-
dence. In this work the bare facts and
figures are amazing. 1t appears that dur
ing the past year no less than IA, 500 child
rem have been helped in various ways, of
which number upward of 2500 have been
developed to condition that has enabled
them to take positions and become self
supporting, while nearly 5000 absolutely
destitute boys ana girls have been taken
into the Homes and their education be-
gun.
One strikingly significant fact Is
brought out as demonstrating the good
in public way that this charity accom-
plishes In saving children. That Is the
number of juvenile offenders in the Eng
lish prisons have decreased from 5000 in 1864
to less than aoOo at the present day, for all
the immensely increased population and
the presumably increased poverty and
crime. Evidently such an institution ss
this has tremendous utilitarian ss well
as Humanitarian value. The Homes collect
and expend annually upward Of 500, 600.
But so targets the work that they are
constantly embarrassed for funds, like
most philanthropic organizations the
world over.
