Society of Associated Charities.


The monthly meeting of the Board of
Directors OF this society was held at their
office yesterday afternoon. Mrs. George
Watt. ST.. was elected to I'LL a vacancy In
the board.
The report of the secretary for the
month of November shows that there
were registered the names OF ninety-nine
persons who had applied for help. sew
enty Of whom applied In person, ana The
others were reported by those upon Wtiom
they had called for assistance. There
were only thirteen Of that class known
as "tramps' during the month. In the
investigation Of these cases the secre-
tary had to write 40 letters. besides in
Vulnerable interviews with others about
many Of the cases.
Homes were found for four young Ia
dies, and letters from some Of these are
full of gratitude TO the society for its
efforts on their behalf. Two professional
beggars were found to be undeservinS,
and those who reported them were noti-
fed OF the fact.
The society has a well-organiZed body
Of visitors. who Immediately upon request
look after case and make report TO the
central office. This society is already
doing an ncdlculable amount OF
good, and as its objects become

recognized as filling a place which no
other organization has ever done. The
winter is now upon US. and as so many
enterprises have shut down for the sea-
son there must be a very large amount

way. Through the agency Of this society
II can be done promptly and well. II,
therefore, deserves the hearty support Of
those who have the means and the dis
position to give.

The Hawaiian MIDDLE.

Minister Willis can hardly be consider
ed as n successful or skilful diplomat.
We do not wonder that the administra-
tlon at Washington should hesitate TO
believe the reports Just brought 10 Port
Townsend as TO what he had recently
said on the subject OF the relations be-
tween the United States and the Govern
ment Of Hawaii. lie says he will not al
low any lawlessness; but what Is "lawless-
ness? And what, according TO Mr.. VII
ISIS view, has he or the United States Gov
eminent to do with keeping the peace in
the Sandwich Islands? Minister VIII
lis must mean that he would
put down an uprising against
the Provisional Government, see
ing that that is the only government
which can claim TO be government
at all. The Queens party is certainly
not in a position 10 bs recognized now
rs the lawful government, and It would
therefore be "lawlessness' for her and
her advisers to undertake TO overthrow
the Provisional Government.
Wherein consists the wisdom Of thus
processing to be keeping "hands off,
at the same time that the all-powerful
United States Government is known 10
be In the background ready TO exercise
its own judgment in the matter, do its
own pleasure, and pursue It's own policy?
Can any policy now be adopted by our
government which will not amount TO
the use of force TO uphold whatever con-
ditlon OF things we may desire to perpetu-
ate?
The speech of Mr.. Dolph. OF Oregon. in
the United States Senate on Tuesday on
this interesting and important subject in
dicates no doubt the course which the
Republicans In Congress will pursue.
Nobody has as yet spoken for the ad-
ministration; and we can hardly see how
an administration senator can reply TO
Mr. Dolph without committing the admin
istration TO some policy more clearly de-
fined than that which has marked the
outgivings hitherto
Mr.. Dolph connected the Nicaragua
Canal with the Hawaiian question; but
the sting had been taken out of this
reference to MIR. Cleveland by the lat
ters warm commentator OF the Mica
ragua-Canal scheme In his message of
both the islands and the canal.

mum IL spent on public roads, poor as

During Governor McKlnneys admins
tration the number OF public schools has
been increased 4es and the number OF
pupils ii.52S. "our higher institutions OF
learning have been doing their usual
good work. and have been more hume
rousiy attended than et any period since
the war, and have kept pace with the ad-
vance in educational progress"
The Roanoke riot il referred to. and the
action OF the Mayor and military APP
proved. The Governor sternly deprecates
all appeals to iynch-law.
The Governor recommends that trea-
surers and clerks be required 60 furnish
bonds OF zone OF the guaranty companies
OF Virginia instead OF personal security
for the faithful performance Of the du-
ties OF their Office. lie states that in 1892
no less than 2s2 treasurers owed balances
10 the State! This In q business-like sug-
gcstion. II strikes VIZ that ~ would save
the State hundreds OF thousands OF dol
lars. but yet we doubt II the General
Assembly can be persuaded 10 make the
change at this time. Many influential
men in each city and county Will rise In
arms almost against IL. But at least,
the General Assembly should give the
courts authority to take either personal
security or security OF guaranty compa-
MES as may be offered. Perhaps when
the public learns how efficient the new
system Is as compared with the old one,
II will demand such legislation as the
Governor now suggests.
Statistics as to our volunteers are given.
and the brigade IS heartily commended
to the favor OF the Legislature.
He advises that the State Board OF
Health be put on better basis, and
speaks well OF the work that 1t has done
and contemplates doing.
Pensions of Confederate veterans have
been increased from $4,000 to 10000 per
annum. and the annuity to the Soldiers
home raised from $1,000 TO 10000 The
States revenue has been increased Sc,U0
per Annum without addition TO the rate
Of taxation. Private property at Old
Point valued at s2s1, 900 has been subjected
TO taxation. The State Library is being
built at a cost Of 1851, 246 although the
appropriation therefor was 100000. The
direct-tax fund Of sHs.1H has been re-
ceived and distributed. A plea is made
for more liberal provision for the higher
education of girls, &c, &c.
The message concludes with syllabus
Of the achievements Of this administra-
ton. in which achievements the Governor,
the General Assembly. and the various
officers, boards, &C, all have their share
OF credit The record is a remarkably
gratifying one.
Virginia probably never had a Governor
who gave closer attention to the details
Of his office than Governor Mckinney
has done The result of this Ia seen in the
valuable information which he has ac-
qured as 10 the workings OF each depart
ment Of the State Government and each
Institution I'm which Virginia Is directly
interested. Governor McKlnney's services
have been able and valuable indeed. The
General Assembly may well heed his re-
concentrations for they are all in a line
with state progress, and from them are
10 be expected benefits which will az
srandize our beloved Old Dominion.

KNOW THE TRUTH.

So many schemes and devices are nowadays
resorted TO whose purpose it is to delude and
humbug the people in the nsme OF HONESTY
that the intelligent, thinking people look at
them with suspicion and doubt They under
stand that the real motives Of all these schemes
are not in the interest of the people las they
pretend them to boy, but simply anG only for
their own personal benefit II is therefore not
strange that they pay no attention TO what
these schemers say or do.
Its true that some houses End it 80 much
more profitable to sell of bankrupt stocks, re-
fused stocks, broken stocks, and Job lots, than
TO sell honest, reliable merchandise at fair
and legitimate profit, that they would mover
handle dollars worth Of what is new and
stylish II they could only md enough people
who could b. induced to buy this unssylish
stun.

Yesterday few OF our crossings were
