Charity and Imposition

Charity is always liable to imposition. This has often been demonstrated in San Francisco since the disaster of April 18. It was emphasized during the frenzied run on the Hibernia Bank two weeks ago. The papers say that a considerable number of the people in the line, with bank-books in hand, were regular pensioners on the relief funds. They have had money in bank while drawing their living steadily from the funds contributed by generous people from far and near, for the assistance of the needy sufferers. Covetousness is a human trait, and is not confined to any special class.
