We believe that it i the dety of the state- te take care of alHta citizens who canuet-take care of I themselves. The peer who cannef labor i should be provided with bread aud shel ter, if both ara needed. The maimed and sick, and insane, should be well cared for in hospitals. This is the ac cepted belief. Triia'dutyjis assumedjby Pennsylvania. But "there is no deitbt that it is inefficiently performed gener ally ; and te such an extent that private charity steps in te supply the state's emission. A great number of inatitu--tiens of private origin exist for the re lief of the unfortunate in Pennsylvania. Same of them are well founded, well sustained aud well managed. - A great many mere are net. They are started in zeal, but the zeal does net held out. The fund provided does net suffice ; and the yearly call for aid upon the benefactors becomes wearisome. They fly te thestate.. They sayleit, "seethe noble charity which we hive organized. We are doing the legitimate work or the stale. Help us. Bear at least, a portion of the burthen with us " Se they commenced years age ; and yearly their cry has become stronger and their number larger, until the sum voted by the state for the support of these pri vate institutions has swelled into millions and the serious question conies upas te hew this appropriation of money.; is te be treated. It confronts the governor new. The billsawait his signature which give great sums of money te many char itable institutions. which the state is net responsible for the creation of, and which are net consequently place.l s. as te make the distribution of this charitable fund equal among the people or the state- We de net baiieve that it is right for the state te give charity in one section that it does net give in another. It should take care or all alike. Its ineiie.v should l se distributed that it will reach in equal proportion every case of dis tress This need will generally bsur the same ratio in every section of tin-state te its population. The ratio may b larger in the city than, in the country ; and in the mining than in the agricul tural region ; but this ratio can In readily established by observation and inquiry and the charitable money of the state should II iw into every county in proportion te its need. Obviously this is net its Hew under the system or aid -iug largely private institutions sporadic ally aud spasmodically started by zealous philanthropists and then thrown en the state te sustain when their ardor cools or their pockets lighten. The state's chanty should be system atically dispensed. The institutions it aids should be located se as te best ac commodate every section It has new an excellent organization te take charge of its charity in the beaid of public charities. That beard should be placed in direct charge of all the institutions' thestate sustains. It should aid lew that ii. does net wholly sustain. Il is ah n itsfill Le ta ;e care ei an il eugni. i take care of. LH, it take posses sien of all the well located private ins! Millions that the mauagers have grown weary in sns taining. Let it give thi beard of publ c charities the money needed te can: for them. Let it establish such ethers as maybb requited in localities new in glecled. Let it p.iy its money and contiel its expeudit ere. Let us have systematic charity ; and let us knew that our money is profitably aud properly expended. One institution, that is new again asking for aid, a short while age received an appre priatien of $10,000 te furnish il. 1 1 drew the money for that, object aud expended it in finishing its building. Itisunfur nished te-day aud awaits a new appropri ation berere it begins its epei.it ion. That was a fraud ; a pious fraud in behalf of charity. Bin the state would profit by cutting off the supplies from these holy men who cheat it in the name of charity. It aids mauy noble chari'.ies, Im1. under 5ts present system of giving le begging charities it cannot be but that its cenli deuce is often abused. iljtlbir Chances Seme of the Philadelphia newspapers have been talking sad nonsense about the trade dollar, notably the Tiuus and the North American. The Times does no seem really te knew what it think t about it ; or at least, ir. does net. succeed in making its idea apparent. Tne North American, which assumes le b.) the business organ or Philadelphia, and te knew all about financial things, is very impatient with the stupidity which would tteny that the government would lese the difference between the specie and nominal value of the trade dollars, if it exchauged them for the buzzard or Bland dollars. 1 1 argues that as the mint can buy the silver in a dollar for less than a dollar, it would lese money by taking trade dollars in exchange for its coinage. Se it would if it could buy the silver it uses with the Bland dellais it coins; but it does net. It coins two million of silver a mouth and lays up most of it in its vaults. It cannot get rid of It. Whereas if it leek trade dollars in exchange for the buzzard del lars that cannot get out of the vaults in any ether way, it would at least make the difference between the value of silver in the trade dollar and the less anionic of silver in the buzzard dollar, less the cost -of coinage ; which ought te be plain enough for anyone te sue, even though he does net claim te be an expert in finance. Discreditable Streets. We are sorry that we cannot compli ment the authorities of our city upon the geed order which prevailed upon our streets en theltli (of Julyi i They were nnsafefer the passage fe'f ''pedestrians and vehicles. The use te which they, arc dedicated was net served, but instead they were given up te the explosion of gun powder. The noise and, confusion which resulted must have been pleasing te a very small minority of the people. Public sentiment generally does net ap prove it.

But the abstract justice of giving the 7,000 Dem ocratic voters of that city' two dis tricts, when the 90,000Hepnbllcans will have six, was se patent that the petu lance and impertinence of Cooper were lest even upon his own paeple ,; and of the Republicans Aull, Emery, Ilerr, Sill and McCracken voted with the Demo crats, and with the casting vote of President Black se amended the bill as te de something like justice te the Phil adelphia Democracy. The harmonized Mr. Stewart stuck bravely te Cooper throughout the controversy, and since he has abandoned even the "moderately fair congreisienal apportionment which he himself proposed in the regular ses sien and which the Democrats accepted, nothing but most ultra partisanship is expected from him.
