The CALL OF CHARITY.

Why should the Associated Charities
lack for funds and find it necessary
to appeal publicly for support? Chart
table enterprises are proverbially in
digent, of course, but it might appear
from the circular given to the news
papers that the present need is more
than usually acute. In a general way
the explanation is public indifference.
Not that the people do not sympathize
with suffering or are unwilling to sue
perity, a feeling may naturally exist
that there are no poor to be looked
after and provided for.
However illogical such a notion may
be, there is no doubt of it's existence.
When narrowing tales of exposure,
want and starvation are rife, the pub
lie heart is touched, and there is a
generous outpourlng of money to re-
lieve the unfortunate. This is an ad-
vertisement that never fails to bring
tangible results; but fortunately for
humanity it is not always available,
and in its absence, some eXertion must
be made to fill the treasury. The Value
of tea parties, concerts and bazaars
given for charitable purposes, is not
always to be measured by the net
cash proceeds. The publicity gained is
worth something. for the people are
prone to forget that 1.-THE poor We have
always with you
There is no longer question of the
utility of the Associated Charities.
Alms-giving has ceased to be a hap
hazard matter and has been developed
to the dignity of scientific work. The
public is delivered from imposition so
far as it will allow itself TO be, the
worthy and needy have a known re-
fuge from want, and there is both
moral and economic advantage in the
concentration of eleemosynary effort,
and its direction by agents trained to
the work, knowing how to adapt the
means to the end and to assist the af-
ficted to a self-supportiug condition
rather than encourage them in men,

Precious little has been heard OF BIZ
metallism, International or otherwise.
since the failure of the Wolcott COM
mission, which was sent abroad to
soSInd the governments Of Europe on
the subject of a silver agreement.
Prominent Englishmen who are inter-
ested in bimetallism as an academic
abstraction, however, have come to the
conclusion that the ratio of 16 to l will
have to be abandoned for that of %
to l, and they profess to believe that
the United States would come into an
international agreement on that basis
This modification is significant because
it implies an admission of the depre-
citation of silver or the undervaluation
of gold, and also because the propc sed
ratio of % to 1 would make the me-
tallic value of the India rupee one
shilling and four pence, which is the
price that the Indian government de-
sires to establish for it. For political
purposes, in the United States, silver
is as empty and useless as last
cal DlIu SlieSl. but SuDpOSlQS
it could be revived, imagine William
j. Bryan explaining the reasons for re-
pudiating the mystic symbols, "16 to
l." or even accepting the London
amendment under any pretext what
ever. Fancy his telling the popocrats
that % to 1 is now the holy war cry,
because British bondholders believe
that to be the salvation of tie Hin
Coos. The popocrats have never had
any use for international biInetallism
in any form. What they want Is in
fation and horizontal reduction Of
so per cent in their debts and a nun
dred per cent realization on all their
claims. Hence the benevolent bimetal-
lists of Europe should not look to the
silver party in the United States for
aid and comfort in their philantlnopic
schemes for the betterment of Hin
docs, Mohammedans and Parsees.

BUFFALO BILL PARADE.

In the parade July 1 Of Buffalo Bills
show, the people will have an oppor-
tunity of seeing the Filipinos and Ha-
waiians Of the United States The Ha-
waiian will be conspicuous by his grass
coat, while his lady, a dusky belle,
straddIes her horse and rides like an
amazon. The Filipino will be close be-
hind him, and his headgear, which
closely resembles a saucepan, will iden-
tify him Immediately The accompany
ing illustration will serve as a guide to
their Identification.
The Wild West this season is greatly
improved and enlarged, and is more
comprehensive in its scope than it has
heretofore been, and the enterprise of
Messrs. Cody and Salisbury has led
them to snatch a page from current his
tory and present, as the main feature
Of this seasons entertainment a most
realistic reproduction of the famous
charge up San Juan hill and TO en-
gage for its presentation a number of
Cuban insurgents and nearly 300 dis
charged soldiers of the American army,
who will give an air of realism TO the
mimic battle, impossible for the ordin-
airy ''show" to present.

Anti-eXpansionists are trying to
make capital out of Gen. Charles A.
Winters letter to Edward Atkinson,
concerning the Filipino war, while Sc
renely ignoring the most pregnant
statement it contains The general
confesses that when he first went to
Manila he was greatly opposed to our
country taking the islands," but after
wards saw reason for modifying his
views. He writes: Il do not think it
was in the interests of humanity civil
1zation or a development of that most
productive country, that the natives
should be accorded at once possession
and control of the country. 1 think
that Aguinaldo practically admitted
this at my interview with him on Oc-
tober 25.'' Gen. Merritts former staff
ofncer is entitled to his own opinions as
to the wisdom or unwisdom of certain
negotiations, but these are after all
only matters of detail, while the fund
amental fact enunciated by him is that
the Filipinos should not and could not
be abandoned to whatever fate might
betide them. On this point, Gen. Whit
tier is in entire accord with the adj
ministration and radically at variance
with the ants, who now seek to use
him as bolster for their own lost
cause.

With what delight did the Harvard
needles ignore the military title of the
governor of Santiago and address him
familiarly as "Dr. Wood" They got
some interesting information from him
withal, for he told them there lis no
reason, barring malaria, why we
should not have in Cuba a comparative
ly healthy country" The-earnestness of
Gen. Woods convictions may be shown
by his assertion that eff the same con-
ditions existed in Boston as exist in
Santiago the death rate of this city
would be much larger than the mortal
ity in Santiago" Gen. Woods glowing
tribute to the devotion of the army sur
geons and colored soldiers should not
be overlooked merely because we have
learned to expect devotion from these
men.

England's hostile attitude toward the
American proposition to exempt private
property at sea from capture in time
of war is a puzzle to most readers of
proceedings at The Hague. As the
greatest of maritime powers, it might
be supposed that England would have
the strongest reasons for desiring the
enforcement of such a law. Especially
notent the argument seems when it is
remembered that the united kingdom
must depend almost wholly upon COM
merce for food supplies. Yet the Brit
ish assumption seems to be that her
majesty's invincible navy is competent
to take care Of her merchant marine
and at the same time annihilate the
commerce of her enemy. Moreover,
there is a suspicion that food supplies

Rumor that the Fitchburg railroad,
as we'll as the Boston and Albany, is
to be absorbed by the Vanderbilts,
shows how intangible the whole project
still is, so far as the public is informed.
The conflict of interests is demon
strated by the complaceney with which
the project is viewed in Boston and
the alarmed protest of the New Haven
people. The diversion of traffic from
New York to Boston is recognized as a
possibility, but calculations Of this sort
are somewhat clouded by the reflection
that harbor facilities are not what they
should be at either port, and large
expenditures of money for improve
ments are imperatively demanded at
both water terminals.
