For more tnan six years every effort
made by this paper to abate abuses

personal abase and villificatloB. Every

THE LADIES BELIEF SOCIETY ;
The editor of The Bee has dlsooied
of the Belief sgciety. jjtf haa ex
pressed his regrets , ' although. " in am
biguous form. He regrets that-1 'their
tender sensibilities have caused them1
to disband. " Bnt he has -regrets
for the fact that the city has failed to
meet their just demands , their reason
able demands for recognition , of long
and faithful , though unpaid services.
He has no regrets for that , but their
"tender sensibilities" have excited his
contempt and inspired his sarcasm.
"This is a pretty good illustration of
latter-day gallantry and chivalry as it
exists In certain daises. He cays ,
"these ladies evidently labor under
the delusion that the city council has
the right to give away the property
of the city. " Yet the city orihe'
'felly fathers" fceem to be
laboring under the "delusion"
that it or they have an unlimited
' rtgbt to the labors and lives of private
'individuals to provide for all its poor
worthy or unworthy simply , be--
cauie these private individuals'are
women. Their "tender sensibilities"
have led them to do these ungrateful
and thankless tasks , until the work
has -assumed such proportions as to
need efficient and generous public aid.
[ Lady Reader , in the .Republican.
The editor of THE BEE .has not dis
posed of the Ladies' Relief Society ,
If , the society has not , .disposed ofc Itself -
, self by. going Into hysterics and
threatening to disband , because they
canaot secure property which the
Glty.Conncll has no right to donate to
private charities. The ladies , en
gaged ia the.gead.-Kork of reliefhave
never failed to receive ample recogni
tion" and generous : encou'ragament
from ! TBE"BEE. ThoVulhor of the
above complaint' ' ought befamiliar
wiih the * passage1 fn the Scriptures
'which ! tells.TJS thai"pharity. vannietii
not 'Itself. The ladles of the
Relief 'Society should , remember
thai they arejiot the only people who I
have carried on benevolent work in
Omaha. 'Hundreds of men and wo
men have been , engaged in benevolent
efforts to relieve distress , to feed the
hungry and afford shelter to the home
less. Their names have not been pa
raded in Ihe newspapers and they
haven't aspired to have th'eir names
emblazoned on the front door of a
* '
great home 9 for .the friendless but
scores of poor , 'human sufferers have
embalmed their names in their mem
ories , and the more carefully becanse
their good work was done unoa-
tenUtidiisly without hope of reward or
psblio recognition. Hundreds of
men and women In Omaha have eat
by Ihe-bedside of the sick and dying
in poverty stricken homes , in hovels
"affected by epidemics , and nobody ex
cept the recording angel has noted the
fact : "The original object of the La-
, dies'Relief-societytwas to aid worthy
people in distress who were not dis
posed to throw themselves on public
charity. Our citizens cheerfully and
with generous nands contributed food ,
clothing and fnel which these benevo
lent ladies have placed at the dispos
al of the poor. Bnt'these ladies have
now become ambitions. 'They want
to establish a permanent home
for the poor. If we had
men like Benjamin Fitch , off Buffalo ,
whorecently gave $200,000 or the
estabUihment of such a home we
should rejoice in counting it among
our beievolent Institutions. But
private\charltable \ instntipns should
and.musi be built and maintained by
private ccatributlons alone. The ex
perience if older states and of the
"great cltia in the east has demon
strated the impropriety of devoting
public proptrty to private .charities.
Such instltxtlouB managed4without
responsibility to the city , or state
invariably become annual charges
upon the taxpayers and frequently
grow into conognu for furthering sectarian
* "
tarian ends. \ '
Another facUwhtch the Ladles ooem
to forget is thi the proposed home if
turned 'into a\hospital \ or infirmary ,
will not meet thi want for which their
society TTBB organized. The poor who
are neither sick nor Infirm but who
Srant clothing , fotd or fuel , cannot be
housed in the hone and would not go
time if they.conld.
If the Ladies' Belief society , after
eleven years good work , have grown
weary In well doing and want a rest ,
lit them -give place to other ladies
who will take up the good work and
go ahead without.so .much splutter.

from rheumatism to such an extent
it crippled her , rendering her
to walk at all. Wo consulted

we deciduito try St. Jacobs Oil , and
'this ' wonderful remedy effected the
happiest results. It cured my
daughter and the little girl is now
well and strong.-
