with a batch of creditors, refuses TO
be comforted.
To make the circumstances clearer
the fact may be cited that the In
dividual in question never earned a
dollar. never showed the slightest
sign Of capacity to earn one, but mas
devoted ali his energy to spending
that heaped up by the industry OF MS
forbears. The instance is, indeed
sad. II is pitiful to think that While
three generations are supposed to pro-
duce a gentleman, this sort Of an in
dividual should be the product III
stead. The generations got fooled.
The trihe Of $4,000 year is more
than the salary received by any judge
on the Federal bench, and with few
executions. more than the salary of
any public Official, State, city, or ma
tional. Judge Parker resigned what
is considered the most desirable
judicial position in New York, and to
&c so had to relinquish only $4,000
annual income. He lived well, owned
a beautiful home, considerable fine
stock, and was, in fact, leading the
existence of a country gentleman.
Forward comes a youthful whiffet
to declare that $4,000 is less than a
third OF the money he needs 10 main
tain himself for a year Why should
he be maintained? What is the pur-
pose of his being? OF course, the
matter is a family affair, and advice
is not sought and would not be ac-
eeptable. For this reason the counsel
to cut the $4,000 down to one tenth
Of its present size, and tell the appli-
cant to get along on that or discon-
tinue the process Of getting along, is
withheld.
When a young man can't take care
Of himself on $4,000 he shows first,
that he could not take care OF him
self on any amount that could be
mentioned, and. second. that he is
not worth taking care OF, anyhow.

MUST HAVE RECIPROCITY,
floss TELLS PRESIDENT
New Highlander Explains How Douglas
Captured Bay State-Wants
Lodge to Run.

Eugene y. FGss president OF the New
England Reciprocity Leauge, and one Of
the most prominent Republicans and
manufacturers Of Massachusetts, talked
with the President yesterday about the
causes of the recent State defeat In
Massachusetts. and pointedy stated his
view that the result indicated the n"-
eessity for immediate steps for tariu
revision and also in the interest of ca
madam reciprocity.
These were the TWO ISSUES which Mr.
FOss said were strongly brought 90 the
front IN the Massachusetts campaign
and he ascribed Douglass victory 10 his
open advocacy Of Canadian reciprocity.

The Colorado Idea.

For many months Colorado has
been a center Of public interest This
has been attracted not by the fact
that the State is the greatest producer
OF gold and silver, that IL is rich In
capacity to grow fruits and yege-
tables, and that it has vast bands of
sheep and droves of cattle. The in
dustrial solidity of the Common
wealth and It's social and industrial
development have been lost to view
IN a riot of disorder and crime, and
the climax of political corruption.
Il would be a presumption 20 pass
Judgment upon the governor Of Col
orado. He found in certain districts
q reign OF violence, and. seeking TO
put an end to this, inaugurated a
new reign. equally violent Martial
law may have been a necessity, but
when this took on the brutal aspect
OF lynch law, people who believe in
justice, in the prompt but legal
punishment of statutory ofense. could
not give it their approval. When
men were taken to the borders of the
State, without warrant and without
trial, and hidden 10 80, never to re-
turn, a consciousness arose that in
the name of society and public policy,
grave wrongs were being perpetrated,
Toward Governor Peabody there
grew up an aversion that resulted in
his defeat, as indicated by the re-
Turns. There was fraud. OF course,
for Colorado elections always have
Deen marked by this characteristic.
Governor Peabody asserts that all this
fraud was directed against his inter
ests. an improbable hypothesis, but,
perhaps, a natural one for him to
take. Holding this opinion he is will
ing there should be a formal contest,
although no likelihood exists that

diet.
Governor-elect Adams has been in
the executive chair two terms. He
is a safe and not ultra-conservative
man. He does not believe that the
arbitrary deportation of miners was
justihable, and the sentiment OF the
people is with him Women had
much TO do with his election, for their
sympathies had been enlisted on be-
half OF the innocent families who felt
the weight OF martial rule.
Politically, the Colorado election is
without significance. That State can
not be classified. It was Republican

Mistaken Prosecution.

Police and prosecuting officers often
show a wholly improper zeal. Their
energies are turned, not to the task
Of promoting justice. but to conviction
OF the person accused. Nothing could
be further from the real duty Of the
courts than the condemnation Of an
innocent person, yet instances are
known in which perjured testimony
has been relied upon 10 vindicate the
majesty Of the law. The theory seems
20 be that there Is some disgrace in
permitting q suspected person to es-
cape on the mere showing that ac-
cusatiOn is baseless. When the State
prosecutor sees an opportunity to
hang the person at the bar, to send
that person to the gallows. not to
bring out the truth which might be

True Charity.

The work of the Associated Chart
ties was reviewed impressiyely IN
the address made at Friday nights
public meeting by Secretary Charles
r. Weller. The mere statement that
he and his associates had made near
~ $4,000 visits 10 homes where aid
was asked or help might be needed,
Is proof that the work is broader
than any other scheme Of charity ever
tested By practical trial in the Dis
tfict of Columbia.
But il is more impressive stin 10
note that these visits and the dis
tribuion Of relief to about 500 cases
had for its real object the upbuilding
Of character and the training Of self
reliance. As Mr.. Weller says: Clear
y. such work as this. such character
building. requires a great wealth OF
persistent. IesO9Tceful, personal serv-
ice"
The story Of the whole movement
toward organization in charity is
