minent. Fortunately. through careful
cumstances of families SO situated are
fairly well known at the charity head
quarters With perhaps a few exceptions
the cases of worthy want are all recorded
and if the funds or provisions are in hand
their necessities can be promptly supplied
Here and there may be an instance OF
actual need which is unknown to the dis
pensers of aims. Maybe pride has pre-
vented a disclosure of the conditions. Then
there must be tactful inquiry and assist
ance.
There are two great problems always
to be solved by the charity organization
workers at such times, first to find the
funds. and then to dispense them so dis
creetIy as not to weaken the self-reiiance
of the recipients The wiser endeavorers
in this field regard poverty as phase.

folly or ignorance or the lack of courage

of despair and given fresh hope. work

can often be cured. Ignorance can be cor

Taft and Hughes.

The spirit of Judge Taft's letter to
Herbert Parsons is of the best. 1t rep
resents good taste, good feeling and good
politics 1t will be approved wherever
read The result should be a Hughes
dele CATION to Chicago from the state of
New York.
But now as to the personnel of the DEL
cgation. 1t is no more proper that the
vote of New York should be cast for
Gov Hughes in the convention than
OF men whose relations to him are beyond
the slightest question of loyalty. They
should be bona fide Hughes men. eager
for his success and able to promote II.
Otherwise no benefit might accrue to the
candidate from the states instructions.
Ne': York should be for Hughes. not
for a complimentary vote or two. but
TO- the nomination, if the prize can be
won by sincerity and good management.
/. will not be easy matter TO pick
these men. Not every man in New York
now shouting for the governor has the
governors interests entirely at heart.
Several old and discredited politicians are
very active, but more, it is believed, in
their own behalf than in his. They will
use his candidacy. if they can. to pay
off old scores. and. if possible. re rehabilitate
the n:selves. They are skulking in the
shadow of a good name toward local
power again. Such men at Chicago could
do Gov. Hughes only harm. They are
well known, and as little liked abroad
as at home.
New York. everywhere, is the En-
pire state. And she should play the
part. At Chicago next summer, where
she will present a candidate of her
own. and where big things will be at
stake. she should be represented by
men of high quality both for char
acter and ability. The name Of Gov.
Hughes should be presented 10 the
convention by an orator of power. and
politicians familiar with negotiations
should have charge of his boom. In such
ad assembly. composed as that will be of
a regiment of shrewd managers. every
step will count and must be taken
with care.
Who. then, for delegates-at large?
The big four should be really big men.
The older men are out of it,. Figures
long familiar to the public in connec-
tfSn with such service are now on the
shelf Who among the younger leaders
would best fill these important places? In
lan, New York will have seventy-eight
votes at Chicago. but If committed to
the proper men TO be cast they might be
made to count for several times that num-
Der in influence on the situation.

German Affairs.
From the London Spectator.


Germany will need all her statesman
ship to guide her rightly in two very diff
ferent. but equally difficult, matters which
confront her. One concerns the funda-
mental principles of national finance; the
other high moral question which. what
ever decision be taken. is bound to leave
it's mark upon the national character.
The German finances are indeed para
dox. Germany has enjoyed, more than
any protectionist continental country. the
profits of the recent great expansion Of
trade, and yet she presents the appear
ance or the admission of her own finan-
ciers, of scarcely being able to pay her
way. OF course the wealth of the coun-
try is reality: there is no question of
Germany being a kind Of Humbert safe:
1t is the arrangement of the national ex-
penditure and revenue, not the total in
come Of the country, which is at fault.
AS for the other matter, we have less
desire to lecture a highly civilized and
friendly country on the morality Of it's
politics than on almost any other ques-
ton; we would go no further, therefore,
than to indicate some of the dangers of
the Polish appropriation scheme which
Prince Bulow evidently intends to force
through the Prussian diet, and to ask
whether he has really taken count Of the
probable effects of his scheme.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
There appear to be certain well-defned
abuses against which IT is useless to leg
islate. The laws hand is often clumsy
and untitled to deal with matters OF deli
cacy Every time an American girl
trades a fortune for title and then lives
to regret it, the American public sympa-
thizes with her and hopes the lesson will
be taken to heart by other heiresses of
marriageable age. But 1t never Is. The
lure of the title is still potent. Yet it IL
doubtful If Congress can do anything
about it.

Concealed Weapons.
From the New York Tribune.

The laxity of our system of regulating
the sale of murderous weapons Is again
illustrated by a tragedy in which wom-
an. armed with two or three pistols, in
vaded a restaurant. shot man seated
there and then killed herself. II would
be interesting to know where she bought
the wea oons and whether she had any
legal permission to carry them. We make
a pretense of d'scouraging the carrying
of concealed weapons. and when some
vengeful criminal kills a policeman or two
much indignation is expressed and spo-
radio efforts are made to arrest and pun
ish violators Of the concealed-weapon
law

From the New York Times.

The failure of the opposition party to

confidence in the ministry will be regard
ed with great satisfaction in this country
We have every reason to desire the con-
tinuance in power of the present minis

ment there are a very good understand
ing, good relations and a sincere mutual
desire To remove all causes of difference
