Cleanup in New York.

New York has been INDUCING in the
luxury Of a cleanup week. 1t is the sec
ond annual crusade which that great city
has carried on against dirt. 1t has seen
the example set by Washington and other
first-class cities, and has followed suit.
This is strong testimonial to the intelli-
gence and initiative ability of New York,
and encourages its real friends to believe
that as long as it can learn good lessons
from other cities Its present and its future
are not SO dismal as many persons think
When the campaign was begun last Mon
day the program was that each day $50
city blocks would be cleared OF rubbish
and other refuse. and the understanding is
that this program Is being carried out,
and that the street cleaning. police and
health department forces. together with
many thousands Of the householders, are
cooperating. Nearly half a thousand extra
wagons and more than a thousand extra
men have been working In this raid on
rubbish. A cleanup campaign in New
York is a big job. as everybody knows
who knows New York, and the congratu-
lations of Washington go out to its SUBJ
urb ON the Hudson.

gives who Is able to give and many
give who cannot afford to. Giving
seems to have become essential to ones
standing in any community. There may
be few graceless exceptions, but they
are not popular. A man who is over
thrifty Is q "tight-wad," and this Is
fatal to a mans standing among his
fellows. A man who has kept his
purse strings tied In a hard knot can
scarcely hope for f1attery even at his
funeral. -s
There has. however. como over the
world q remarkable change In its
method Of charity. or. perhaps. 1t would
be accurate to say that such a change
is coming over the world. Once all
charity was personal and patriarchal,
tending to beget beggary and to multi
ply beggars. Usually in this system
or lack of system the giver found
within himself warm sense of graft
fication. The thanks of the aims
taker probably poured upon the giver
on the spot. There was some senti-
ment in this manner of giving, but not
much wisdom. Strong efforts are be-
ing made throughout the world to re-
duce charity or to elevate charity to
a scientific system under which aims
will be administered by administrators
who have before them. as 1t were, a
map or chart OF the whole region of
distress and means of determining
relative neediness, reducing imposture
and giving the greatest, good to the
greatest number. This Systematic
charity often calls forth malediction
from the older. slovenly. wasteful and
aggravating way Of aims giving. Sys-
tematic charity is one of the best safe
guards for those who need charity and
against a numerous class who would
prey on charity.

Age of Giving.

The world of today comes in for
many hard knocks and much harsh
criticism. and one of the oft-made
charges against it Is that it is selfish.
The cold heartedness Of the world is
one of the most popular texts with a
variety of writer's. lecturers and min
listers and a text that Is very COM
monty used to stir up generous emo
tons and to bring down contributions
A little sober sense applied to the con-
sideration of this subject would prove
the recklessness and groundlessness of
the charge that the world Is cold and
unsympathetic. The facts show that
the sympathies of the world have not
frozen up and are not freezing up. but
that they have thawed out. Charity is
not dead. 1t lives and makes the whole
world shine.
There was never an age 80 remark
able for giving as the one in which
we live. The charge might be made
with the grace of truth that bounty
has become reckless and wasteful.
Nearly everybody gives. Everybody

The Busy Militants.

The militant suffragettes are cam
paigning" actively in England. Treas
ured paintings in the National and Royal
galleries have been attacked. the king
has been jeered and cried out against
and indignities have been applied to q
court Judge. When English ladies'
shrek out hostile criticism against his
royal majesty and pull of their shoes
and hurl them at the head of an Eng
lish judge on the bench there is some
disturbance in old England! The dan
ger to which art works are subjected
in England again brings up the
thought that the English should en-
courage American millionaires to trans
port these paintings of the masters to
a land where art is held in higher
esteem and where the women use their
natural graces, their eyes and smiles,
instead of hatchets and butcher
cleavers.

An Old Acquaintance.

In a speech in the United States Sen
ate in 1888. Daniel Webster said:
There are persons who constantly
clamor. They complain of oppression
speculation and pernicious influence OF
accumulated wealth. They cry out loud
" against all banks and corporations
and all means by which small capitalists
become united in order to produce i'm
portant and beneficial results. They carry
on mad hostility against all established
institutions. They would choke the foun-
tain Of industry and dry all streams
clamor against oppression. In a country
of perfect equality they would move
heaven and earth against privilege and
monopoly. In a country where property
is more evenly divided than anywhere
else they rend the air shouting agrarian
doctrines. In a country where wages OF
labor are high beyond parallel they would
teach the laborer that he is but an OPP
pressed slave
OF course the clamorers of that day
predicted early smash unless radical
changes were inaugurated. Such changes
were not inaugurated, and yet, after
eighty years, here we are, grown enor-
mously in size and strength, still the
greatest republic in existence. and still
the land of opportunity, progress and
prosperity.
The clamorers of this day have no new
texts. They are still conjuring with the
old charges. They are still batting cap
ital. They are still complaining of oppres-

Financial Renaissance,

I kind O. miss the good old days.
When fellers came a-callin'
With gentle an persuasive ways
And arguments enthrallin'!
The lightnin' rods l used to buy
Proved useless demonstrations,
An yet, while pointin' to the sky,
They make fine decorations!
Some circulars I'd like to get
So secret and assurin'
About the green goods which would ne
A fortune most allurin'.
I'd like to meet the gold brick man
An see his wares confusin'.
Though built on deceptive plan,
They was at least amusin'.
But now they do not stop to tell
A story strange or funny:
They jes' write letters to compel
The payment Of your money.
Gilt-edged certificates you buy
Cause it's the proper caper.
And all that's left to cheer your eye
Is Jest a bunch O. paper!

0 The GREEN COUNTRY.

From the Baltimore Sun.
O the green country,
How softly it lies
Adown the sweet valleys.
Beneath the blue skies:
And, visit. go the letters.
And off fly the bonds,
When the larkspurs are out
And the fish In the ponds.
o the green country,
To set the heart wild
with dreams of the hillsides
And laughter Of child;
To chant to US softly,
And all day and night
Dance to us sweetly
In perfume and light.
O the green country,
That's not far away;
A mile from the city,
At the end OF the day;
And there smile the sweet lips.
And there dreams the breast
That sings, sings the toiler
OF life To his rest.
