The COMMITTEE on poor OF the City
Council has advertised for wood and
coal for distribution to the needy and
worthy poor during the approaching
Indictment weather. There are numbers
In every city who are INDECENT and de-
pendent through no fault OF their own
people who have lived beyond the age
OF usefulness and who deserve thought
full attention 10 the advanced evening
OF their lives. There are many others
who are pAupers from choice or who
have been made such by good but 10.
discreet people. Alexandria has many
suoh--its full proportioD-and 1t is high
time some of them were made to real
izs the responsibilities OF life, the first
lesson in which is to become provident
and rise above the low plane Of meDdi-
csncy. Besides there is at present
little excuse for any one-apart from
those who are physically incapscitated
from being out OF work in Alexan-
dria. The young OF both sexes have
had all the summer and have now
opportunities for making their living in
the various factories which are thriv-
ing here. Those who In 90 official or
private capacity distribute food, fuel
or clothing this winter should ascertain
who are worthy, and help such as have
proper claims, but where able'bodied
people are found who refuse to fulAll
the fat of nature they should be made
to understand the words Of scripture
that those who refuse to work should
not eat. 1t Is as obligatory upon
churches, aid societies and other lnstl.
tutious to call attention to this truth as
1t is to distribute the necessaries or
comforts of life.

much discussion In republican and pro

will not be deferred by threats ofthe

iuteation, for he says he will prepare

He says;

There will undoubtedly be consider

cessily for such action, and that It VIII
most certainly be accomplished. Inc
question that hsYe raised will have to

publican party. The entire northwest
is aroused upon this subject, and the
people of Iowa, Minnesota and Wiscon

The South and West are the two
sections OF the country most in'
juriously affected by the present
high tariff laws and the people
OF these sections as we'll ss thou
sa1ds 10 the other States are be-
coming more and more restive BY
reason OF the burdens these laws im'
pose upon them and are demanding re-
lief. Mr.. Babcock shows clearly that 1t
Ia not the country nor the masses OF the
people, but the trusts that are bene-
fitted by the present tariff laws, and
the backing and support Of his con-
sttuents, who are demanding relief from
the oppression they are suffering under
these laws encourages him in his de-
termination to bring about the long de-
sired reform. With the South and
West united on tariff reform measure
