and when there is a long. cold spell they
are robbed Of some Of their enjoyment, as
they sit hi comfortable homes by the klowl-
edge that others Of Co.'s creatures ar
suffering for the necessities of Life. They
fen disposed to get up and go cut into the
byways and hedges and carry relief, but
they do not know where to go, and in
many instances it. is 1narlifestly- imprac-
tdcafolc for them to do So
The Citizens Relief Association, there
fore, is Il relief also to this class of warm.
hearted people. It says to them, "If yon
VIII contribute the money We will see
that it is dispensed in such a way as to
do the greatest amount of good, and if
We can get sufficient funds we will see to
it that every case of genuine distress in
the community is relieved" This is sens-
BILE, practical charity. There are in every
community slothful improvideut people
who bring distress upon themselves, who
have not because they Will not work, and
who prefer to live as parasites rather than
to earn their own living. They are i'm
posters, and it is not truly charitable to
be constantly giving to such people. for
giving encourages them in their slothful-
ness. True charity is giving to those who
are unable to provide for themselves, and
it is the boundcn duty of those who have
to help the honest poor. The Citizens
Relief Association dispenses charity with
discretion. Those who conduct its affairs
have the work we'll in hand, and know
who are deserving and who are not. Those
who contribute to this Associate may
feel sure, therefore, that the money which
they give viii be expended to the best
advantage and in the interest OF true
charity The person who gives literally
to this institution may take his comfort
in the assurance that he is doing his part
to relieve distress.

THE FUTURE. OF CUBA.

General Fitz Lee is quoted as having
| said in St Louis the other day that the
ia. Of the United States is in Cuba and
| is going to stay there. THE meaning 1
intended TO convey he has since ex-
planned, was that the American flag
would float over Cuba until stable gov
eminent shall be formed capable of pre-
serving life and property and giving con-
fdence TO capital. The United States has
promised the Cubans self-government and
Will carry out its promise. Upon the
Culoans will rest the responsibility of de-
te-mining whether that Government shall
be permanent or otherwise
General Lees remark needed no expla-
nation. 1t was simply 4 prediction, and
it Is a prediction which will. in our opin-
ion, he fulfilled. But this does not mean
that tie United States Government is
going TO take forcible possession in Cuba
The Government is under solemn pledge
not TO do so. but we have long believed
that Cuba would logically and inevitably
become a part and parcel of the United
States. as a result of the war with Spain.
We believe also that this will be with the
full consent of the great majority of the
Cubans themselves. The conservative men
of the island must have made up their
minds that it would be hazardous IN
dertaking Tor the Cubans to set up an
Independent republic, and we feel sure
that all such people. down in their hearts,
prefer to be a part Of a great country like
the United States than to be independent
and without the protection of our flag
These men know that so long as the
Stars and Stripes float over Cuba there
VIII be law and order and guarantee of
the protection of life and liberty and
property rights Cuba is naturally a part
of the United States, as much SO as Flor
ida is, and natural laws Will assert them
selves.
1t is with these facts in view, we feel
sure, that General Lee has made the pre-
diction that the American flag will for
ever float over the island of Cuba. There
is certainly no implied bad faith on the
part Of the Government in what he said

FACTORIES COMING SOUTH.

! 1t is rumOred that q number of facto-

| to the South for the reason that these in

| mors, but we think it worth while to
draw the attention of the Chamber of
Commerce of Richmond TO them

to move southwark, what better location
could many of them find than right here
