Business and Charity.

The Charities Review, of New York,
says: No advertising should be given
In support OF u charitable enterprise
for the sake Of helping along cause.
Business and charity should be kept
distinctly separate. If the business
man desires to contribute TO charit-
able enterprise, his contribution
should come as Il straight gift, and
not as reluctant business invest
ment. II Il man Is not willing tO
support Il charitable effort for char
ity's sake, IL Is serious mistake tu
Induce him To support la return for
doubtful advertising. The Charities
Review supplements this by saying
that IL does not mean there should be
no advertising IN programmes or
news sheets issued 10y charity assOcia-
tiOns. IL such things are really good
mediums OF advertising, so that bus
iness man thinks he will get back full
value for his money, there is just as
good reason for this kind of advertls-
ing as for advertising IN the daily
papers; but, in any event, the ques-
tion Is zone purely Of business" or, as
the Charities Review puts 1t: The
question should be purely IA business
one and not charity.

eating the estate up very rapidly.
The executors of the estate say that
il time is given them every posslb lie

BLAcKFooT, Idaho, Aug. I6.-Re.
ports from a majority OF the 2I coun-
ties In the state indicate that there
will be an overwhelming majority
against denomination OF Stuenenberg
for governor. The principal causes
given for the overthrow of the gov
ernor is the reported and very gencr.
orally believed statement of his cum
bination with the Populist Congress
man Gun, whereby they were both to
succeed themselves on the same lines
as those of two years ago; also. the
fact that the last Democratic, plat
form promised a reduction CT salaries.
The legislature passed a bill looking
TO that end, and IL was vetoed by
Governor Steuenberg. A large num-
Der Of Democrats take the position
that the veto was violation OF
the party's pledge 10 the people
The outlook is that Hon. Ben Morris,
OF Lewiston, will be the most for
mldable candidate before the conYen-
tiOn.
