And here is where our comments come in. The late floods have rendered homeless and dependent probably twenty thousand men, women and children, and right in the face of all this suffering at home, suffering by our own kith and kind, we hear of sympathetic mass meetings being held, and large sums of money subscribed in aid of those foreign ret ugees (more or less welcome, and more or less desirable for American citizens), while nothing is being done for our own sullerers, Oh, the shame of it, that American sym- pathy should forget its own, and fly away to a far-off continent to bestow its golden ex- pressions upon a people not one-half as worthy.
