LIBERAL CHARITIES.

The Chicago Tribune has recently com- piled most remarkable page of statistics | showing the arnotnt of donations, in sums of s1,oOO or over made in the United States during the year which has just closed, for all kinds of religious. charitable. educational or business pur- poses. The total reaches the enormous sum of $1s3, ,Sss. .752, and this, as above stated, does not include any gift, dona- ton or bequest of less than s1,OOo. If all these smaller sums were added, it would swell the total amount very largely, but, as The Tribune says, it would have been an immense, if not impossible undertak- ing to have gotten list of all the small sums given away.
 six donations, or gifts. of one million dol lars or over, and twenty-nine others above half a million The other amounts are ali the way from one thousand to half a million. This great sum of money was scattered all over the United States, and was given to churches. towns and cities for public use, and to every variety of charitable, educational, industrial or benevolent purposes.
 Who shall say that we are not a liberal people, or that our rich men and women are not entitled to much credit for liberal giving? Some of these gifts, it is true. were made for personal reasons, but in the main they were intended to promote the public good and to build up and as- sist enterprises which were both deserv- ing and beneficial. Large benefaetions made to build schools and colleges. and other institutions, and to establish and maintain public libraries. are for the benefit of all the people, and those who give such to causes are entitled to fuli
 credit for disinterested liberality. Our wealthy people are not all misers.

ONLY TwENTY-rHREE HoHx
 nAYS

There Is no getting around the fact that all those who are subject to nOll- tax must pay the amount due. S1.50. be-
 fore the first day of February or be de- prived of the privilege of voting in pri- mary, city. or State elections. Just why any man should. for one moment, hesi- tate about paying the amount and quali- flying as a voter, is hard to understand. ! Young men around town frequently throw away in a short while for some transient pleasure largely more than that amount. They cannot consider the payment of
 sl.5o hardship. when 1t Is perhaps every cent they will be called on to pay for the
 support of the State government. This
 sum goes exclusively to the public
 schools. and every man ought to feel that
 it is a privilege to help keep them up.
 Fully one-half the voters of Alabama are subject to pofl-tax. and failure to pay lessens the vote cast at primary and general elections. There Is an appalling apathy about this matter and some steps should be taken to get every white man who is subject to poll-tax to pay it and become qualified to participate in com. ing elections.
 Our Selma correspondent states that many men in Dallas County hAve been expecting deputy tax collectors to call on them. AS there is no fee allowed for collecting, the collectors cannot afford to hire deputies. Every man. therefore, must go to the collector. To meet the difficulty in Perry County. the tax collec- tor has appointed the Democratic Com. mitteeman for each beat deputy collec- tor for the purpose of collecting this tax. This is a good way to meet the difficulty. and, although it may take little time and yield no income, yet every Demo. cratic committeeman ought to do this much for his State and Party. Time is short, and whatever is done, must be done quickly.

The Zionist Movement.

Providence Journal.
 The recent holding of 5,00O Zionist meet ings throughout. the world on the same evening shows the strength of the move ment that has for its object the repeo- bling of Palestine with Hebrews. The leaders of the movement do not propose to erect, at least in the near future. an independent Jewish state there. but wish to make 1t perfectly safe for Jews from members of the race, to return to Syria and establish homes. To this end 1t is suggested that an international protec- torate might be arranged. even with Turkish rule maintained, as at present.

Kitchener seems to be several different kinds of a bloody ruffiah, but he will hardly have Kritzinger murdered under these circum- stances.

This season the golf girl has more than
her share of smart clothes to choose from.
With her green is tho color of the mo-
meut and grass green the most correct
shade of all. The newest golf jacket is
green rather than red, thonsh it may
have red cuffs and red cellar Other
golf iackets-less practical. perhaps, but
original and effective-are in white silk or
white cloth, with an embroidered design
of solf balls. and crossed golf sticks
worked in either bright emerald green or
red silk These jackets are short Etons,
which end above the waist line.
The outdoor girl is partial this year to
the white shirt waist. The newest shirt
waists for the golf girl are Of heavy white
linen. with breast pocket to hold the
score card. These waists may have a
yoke If desired The sleeves are the
bishop model, moderate in size, finished
with a band at the wrist Colored stitch
