OBSERVATIONS ON THE PROPER
DISPENSATION OF CHARITY
By FELIX NICHOLAS, of Poland.

great deal has been printed of late concerning the
proper way of administering charity IN my opinion,
no way in which assistance IS offered to a poverty
stricken individual can So demcraze him and blunt his
finer feelings as that which eompes HIM to ask for AID
and the benefit of charity. Charity must come to him
masked without his knowledge of It's if possible,
Just as sunbeam Of Providence descending suddenly
from above 10 brighten the rough. dark pathway 81 Ife
and tighten the heavy burden Of the everlasting dread
of hunger and all tie companions of poverty This way
must be used with all true charity be It's subject
worthy or unworthy.
IN the first place tie should be given helping
hand with best wishes, because he may deserve all the
assistance you can tender him. In the second place, per-
haps this act Of trae charity viii revive him the
nct spark Of honesty If he has been unworthy, and self
respect If he has been cast down. and compel him to live
a useful life
The man device of charity lies IN finding out all
the need and source Of suffering of the povertysrieken
man and has family His lfa and his habits should be
well examined Ee must be Investigated with the eye Of
an expert detective. and the sorrow spot Is
detected 1t should be healed by applying the best of
neans-this without has knowledge, If possible. con-
cede that this IS very difficult task but to me 1t seems
the only way If we are to distribute true charity.
It happens often when yen ask the sufferer to emu
merate his wants. that lie Is afraid ashamed to tell

You all that he needs Some of them might seem TO you
to be of no very great importance This annoys both
parties makes relations strained and less confidential
and sometimes may suggest to you lack Of sef-iuerest
and bunting of the finer feelings But this confirms
my opinion that assistance shodd be rendered without
an application from the sufferer
Again, charity must act promptly, and do not ap-

VIII You wait until some member Of ms or her family
starves to death or until he has blown his brains
and then bring IN your help? Such offers for the
students of human character and life very wide field
of observation. but not for charity,
do not believe that he who knows Of the distress
and anguish Of some poor human being should, instead Of
coming at once with cheerful willingness his aid wait
until the extreme is reached He Is not fit TO perform
the sacred duty Of charity. find the lessons
taught by Jesus Christ proof of and encouragement for
such action Do the sufferer, do char

found IN them.

we're soon two corks instead Of one in

husband. but who wants to 90 around

want TO know IS. Why don't they sell
the corks where they sell the jugs?2
Thus far that question has remained
unanswered b any Washington mer-

if they consider it to their interest to
become a part of our nation, the doors
will be open to them with all of the
privileges, rights and powers of a SOW
ereign State. The question of Cuban
annexation was seriously considered
more than half a century ago. At that
time African slavery existed on the
island and the principal, and, in fact.
almost all of the opposition was from
those who objected to the extension of
thes lave-holding power by the acqui-
sition Of more slave territory. That
objection has been removed and there
is 40 valid reason why our near neigh
Dor should not, if she so desires, enjoy
our commercial benefits and protection
which would inure to her by becoming
a member of our national family. While
it is our duty now to make unusual
commercial concessions, because of her
loss of her Spanish market, such sem
timental legislation as Mr.. Newlands
speaks Of cannot be maintained for all
time, and it is not at all improbable
that the final solution of the question
will be annexation at the special
instance and request of the Cuban peo-
ple.-Reno Journal.

THOSE MINORITY REPORTS.

The three minority reports upon the
Cuban reciprocity bill. presented by
Robertson of Louisiana. Newlands of
Nevada, and Cooper of Texas, the gist
o feaeh of which was wired to the Elk
2niner and copied in the Journal of
Wednesday, are interesting reading
natter, presenting as they 10 different
phases of the Cuban situation from
commercial and moral s~tandpoints. All
three of the members are Democrats
and each we presume aimed to adapt
his report to his conception of the tar
" policy of his party. Mr.. Robertson
u his report claimed that the 20 per
oent reduction would afford no relief to
nae Cuban treasury, an opinion which.
in our opinion, is based upon sound
logic and indisputable facts. Mr.. Coo
peF's report was brief and in OPPOSE
ton to the entire bill.
F, Mr.. Newlands' report was in line
with the resolution he presented some
ttme AGO. encouraging the ultimate an
nexatlon of the island to the United
states. He believed that the American
people were tired of sentimental legis-
lation, but was willing to extend it to
Cuba for a reasonable time, provided

to Cuba to become a part Of the United
states. That Cuba would be a desir-
sble acquisition to our national domain

be warmly welcomed by a large ma
jority of the American people, if she
came Of her own free will and accord,

certainly be no objection to giving the

Grain Association, composed entirely of
Kansas farmers, has just made it's first

was earned by farmers who operated
Independently. In addition to this the
farmers received a dividend of 10 per
cent on their stock, which was bought
a year ago at $12 so a share and is
