Former President Says Rich Men Would Support It Nob*/—Help Un fortunate to -Self Support, Not Keep Them Dependent, He Urges. In the midst of cougratulathms on his seventy-first birthday Grover Cleve land, ex-president of the Uniter) States, found time and interest the other dor,’ to discuss public questions at the Ho tel Lakewood in Lakewood, N. J. Mr Cleveland became almost enthusiastic as he dwelt upon certain phases of na tional and civic life and made a fer vent plea for the poor of the country. He also spoke in djehalf of children, whom le loves. His appearance belied his years, as did the vigorous sound of Ids voice and ids stride. Asked to talk oti public affairs by a representative of the New Vork World, he sakl: “There has l)eeu too (much excite ment. too much exploitation. Peace must come. There must ire reassur ance. There have been troublous times, but unless I am mistaken and have al ways been mistaken in the character of the American people they will come safely through. “What a great people ours are! Where is the emergency to which they have not risen? Consider them as het erogeneous, if you will; consider their, from any point of view. No matter what condition has ever confronted! them, they have met it according to their lights, and they are good lights.” Casually the conversation Turned tq children.

It is great to be a father. Yet when ! think of the little children it makes me sad. My thoughts are always with them—the thousands without homes, the thousands with only half bon^s and lacking influence and inspiration. I wish I might do something for them all. “There is something big that can l»e done if only the right man would come to the front. Yet I am wrong in speak ing of what an individual might do. He might lead and direct, but what vve need in New York. In all of our large cities, is a proper charity organization. It should be an organization that will reach where it ought to reach, not half way nor half heartedly. “I have in mind—I have thought +>f this countless times—a charity clearing bouse, just as the banks have a deal ing house, through which everything belonging to this sphere will pass. I know we have charity organizations. t but ! do not mean that kind. They are not thorough. This clearing house *1 have In my mind’s eye would be the in dorser of every proper and noble thing.

He would have the satis faction of knowing that the money was not being used to further this one’s or that one’s self patented way of dispensation. “1 feel deeply about this, and I want to tell you that if such an organization as 1 wish to see established should be brought into being it would not lack support. I could go over a list of rich men who would support it nobly. The rich men of our country are not hard hearted. They are not stingy. They want to give, and they do give, but they are not satisfied. They would give so much more if they were assured that those for *vhom their gift was in tended received it. “There is something that I have long wanted to see destroyed, and that is this contented dcpeudefice of the poor that we see on every hand. Our so called charitable dispensations are re sponsible for it. This dependence is the thief of self respect. The poor are not permitted to help themselves. You know it, and I know it. Once they come wJthin the ken of the charity workers they are robbed of their initia tive. They are made dependent.

Columbia, May G.—State Treasurer Jennings has returned from New \crk, where he went in connection with the negotiation of a loan for the State. The State has borrowed, on separate notes, the sum of $200,000 at the rate of four and one-half per cent, the notes running, until January. This money is needed for pensions and other expenses as the State’s income from taxes is almost altogether one year behind. It is possible mat another loan will have to be made about the first of July, when interest on the State's bond debt is due. The State has about three-quarters of one million dollars, the dispensary money, on deposit in banks through out the State at fonr per cent, and at least two hundred thousand dollars of this amount is without question the State’s money, while the balance may belong to the creditors of the late State dispensary.

Two sisters still survive to mourn their loss. Mr. “J. L. S.,” we enjoy your lec tures, especially the one as to how people behave themselves at church.
