A Great Animal Drain.

Every year there is a big rush OF
Americans with money, and OF some
without money, for that matter, to Eu-
rope. but the re ord of week before last
when 64SO passengers sailed from the
one port of New York to spend few
mOaths across the water surpasses any
thing of the kind ever noted heretofore.
The stream of tourists has beer set
ting 10 that direction, however, for q
month past and will continue for a
month or more longer. 1t is estimated
that no fewer than 15O 900 Americans,
native and natural Zed, will visit Great
Britain, Ireland and the continent this
summer. In the midst if all our hard
times this large army is BILE to Overrun
Europe and spend money in manner
to put to shame the princes OF the old
world. 1t is computed that the average
stay abroad will be two months and it Is
easy to calculate the amount OF money
they will leave in Europe. The passage
is anywhere from $50 to $150-say an
average of $50, making little matter
of $4,000, 900 any way. Ihey
| will spend on an average at least $500,
possibly much more, adding anywhere
| from $50, 900, 900 to $4O,O0O,O0 to the
passage and running the grand total
to between $50, 100000 and S6O, OOO, 600.
J This immense sum OF money
| is being carried out Of the country
| every summer. To this must be added
the tremendous interest and dividend
accounts. annually, by which Europe
drains US of more than a hundred
mi lions. While this great army il
abroad we must count the resulting de-
preston in trade at home from the loss
| of such moneyed class. 1t will be
seen easily that our contribution to
Europe annually will not fall short Of
$500, 200, 900. In the absence of a broad
circulation at home the loss every year
of such amount of money can not fail
to be iisastrousiy felt. The worst part
of the whole matter is that there Is nc
way to remedy this drain. So long as
it is fashionable to run away to Europe
every summer and drop our dollars
this country must expect to suffer

Too Much Charity.

The actions of many servants and
workmen in Ell Paso the past week,
as regards the acceptance, or rather
demaud, for assistance on account OF
the flood, shows very plainly tn at there
is such thing as too much charity.
Many servant girls left their positions,
and the men, a goOdly number of them,
refused to work at any price. This was
owing to tie fact that they were being
fed by charity. This sort of charity is
very wrong. The needy should always
be assisted, but under no cir cumstances
should person who is able to earn a
living and has an opportunity to do so
and refuses it be given assistance.
There were cases in FL PasO where
men even demanded pay assisting in
saving their own homes. Such people
ar not worthy of charity. The papers
of Ell Paso took hold of the matter of
outlining plans for the expenditure OF
the appropriations made, and their
suggestions were very good indeed.-R.
