During the lifetime of that true phi
lanthrop.t. the late W. W. Corcoran,
of Washington. ID. c., he had erected
i'm fashionable centre of that great
city, i'm our opinion the noblest charity
i'm all the land. the Louise Home, 30
so named in honor of a daughter who
died while the bloom and beauty OF
youth were still hers. To this Home
the good and generous man invited
the worthy poor, unable to work and
unwilling TO beg, and today its CONF
forts are enjoyed by those who once
adorned homes of their own and
reigned rs social queens in circles of
refinement and culture. They were
too proud TO ask aims but were not SD
foolish a. TO refuse the beneiicence of
this prince among benefactors. Nor
are they broken in spirit because for
sooth;they live under another's roof
and are fed from his bountepu> table
These thoughts have come 20 us of
late while we have been reading the
action Of Camps of Confederates with
reference to national aid With one
accord they refuse 20 assume the atti-
tude of beggars, and they but add new
stars to their already resplendent
crowns, and yet are they To be made
suppliants before their needs are to be
supplied? Did the noble Corcoran
build the Louise Homen because of
the eutreaties of the deserving poor
who have entered its doors TO find "a
generous welcome and unstnted hos
pitality? Do those who attend them
ever remind them Of the poverty that
draws them there? Did they always
even agree with Mr. Corcoan i'm
thought or purpose? Were they ever
loyal TO that which me loved most? |
We are thrilled with better emotions
as we read of the dignifled refusal from
those who "wore the gray to beg in
front Of any door. We would have 1
applauded to the echo the gallant /
Bates who on The floor of the Senate /
spurned to have bis comrades 20 ON
record a asking aims. and yet we can
not but hope that the time will yet
come when the only country the ex-
Confederate can now call his own, and
to which he is as loyal and true as any
who walk beneath the stars and
stripes, will tender him a hospitality
like that Of the immortal Corcoran,
helpful without being humiliauug,
sustaining with no sting in it. boun-
teous without making beggars of the
recipients.

THE West Virginia Legislators are to

compromise whereby a United States
senator could be elected and the bust
ness of the State proceeded with. Mr..
Scott, the Republican, was elected 10y
one majority, but if Gen. Wheeler is
not entitled 10 bis seat i'm Congress then
two illegal votes were cast for Mr.
Scott. These came from two West Nir-
ginia Senators, who having accepted
army commissions, forfeited their seats
in the State Senate. Mr.. McGraw

the election, and if precedent is of val
