WHERE DOES THE DISPATCH sTANE I?

The Tines has agitated the subject Of
pure elections in this state, because it
believes that such elections are Of funda-
mental Importance to the safety, honor
and welfare of the people OF Virginia.
We have no more knowledge of the
frauds in elections than could be obtained
by any che else who would keep mis- ears
ard eyes open. Having become satisien
ourselves that frauds do exist ana VIII
continue and even extend, unless they are
firmly and decisivey stopped, we nave
with an eve single TO the good of our peo-
ple-whose interests are endangered ana
good name sullied by the acts OF cor
rupt few who reap the Dement'S OF the
frauds-determined to attack the entrench-
ed corruptionists, and drive them from the
fields and i'm this we know we have the
people Of Virginia with us.
The Dispatch stops its ears and shuts
its eyes. and ignores the statements made
by our various correspondents, and says
we have produced no proof of fraud. We
shall not attempt to convince the Dis
patch, but in order to get its views on
the general proposition. we PROFOUND TO
it the following questions, to which we
respectfully ask distinct replies:
First. Does the Dispatch believe that
rtuds have been practiced within the
last six years in the elections in Virginia
to such an extent as to change the officer
or representative Of the voters in any
county?
We put this interrogatory this way so
as to avoid any question Of immaterial
frauds. and to bring up the point whether
men have been returned by fraud as elect
ed. who would not have been elected by
fair election.
Second. If the Dispatch believes that
there have been such fraudulent returns
does it favor such proceedings
Third. If the Dispatch does not favor
such proceedings is 1t in favor OF such
LEGISLATION as Will tend cnectually to pre-
vent them?
II the Dispatch does not from It's gene
raj knowledge of men and politics In Nlr-
ginia believe that there have been mate
rial frauds in the elections in Virginia
within the past six years, we do not see
the use OF continuing discussion with 1t.
How blind those may be who do not wish
to gee is well put by Coleridge in his lines
1.-The owlet atheism
Sailing on outspread wings athwart the
moon,
Drops his bIue-fringed eyellds and holds
them close.
And, hooting at the glorious sun In Hea-
ven,
Cries out, Where Is it?'
Our demand for pure and uncorrupt
elections Is not only in behalf OF all the
people Of Virginia In general. but in be-

The work has been very heavy for the
past week, requiring four persons con-
stantly 20 supply the demands The num-
Der now averages 100 per day. Should this
number increase. 800 viii not supply the
provisions necessary. The articles now
distributed at the mission house are
pork. peas. beans, bread. FISH. molasses,
and groceries
No donations were received last week
except a barrel of flour from Mr. An
trim, and crackers from Mr.. Fleming.
The lack OF fuel is causing more dis
trese now among the poor than the
lack Of food. This is due TO two causes
first, the delay in the appropriation. and.
second. In the bad quality OF the fuel
furnished. At a meeting Of the City Mis-
sion. held Saturday evening at the Y. NJ.
C. A.. with forty ladies present, COM
plants OF the coke were made from every
quarter OF the city. and it requires an
equal quantity OF wood and coke TO get
any benefit at all from it,
The poor are unable TO supply the wood.
1t was resolved. by a rising vote I'm the
meeting, that the ladies. as representa-
tiyes OF the poor, were bound 70 condemn
this coke. and ask for change.

THE HAWAIIAN SITUATION.

1892 II can have no important bearing on
the issues presented now.
When the whole case is reviewed, no
reasonable or fair mind can avoid the
conclusion TO use the boldest possible
language) that the American minister
and the American military took part in
the so-called revolution which is wholly
indefensible, II not criminal, and that
there Is only too much reason to believe
that their part was inspired by Messrs.
Blaine and Harrison, that pretext FOR
annexing the islands TO this country might
be developed.
Nor can the conclusion be equally avoid
ed that what MIR. Cleveland has done has
been inspired by a candid and sincere de-
sire TO right q wrong which had been per-
petrated by the United States. and that
however futile his efforts may have been,
he has done nothing outside Of his proper
functions and authority. unless 1t be in
giving Mr.. Blount authority to give or
ders TO our naval commander there, about
which we can form no opinion yet, as
we have not yet seen the documents that
bear upon that question. The whole row
over what the administration has done is.
therefore, mere tempest in a teapot.

he accomplished nothing, the President

REASONABLE conspiracy. So many rights

United States can no longer treat 1t as
an affair between itself and the new gov

stand or fail as II may be able to main
tain itself In dealing with those over
whom II has assumed to exercise power
and jurisdiction. We must give an asylum

for sustaining herself comfortably. but We
must withdraw all shadow OF support 10

with which We have nothing whatever TO

The cry from Richmond referred to by
the Dispatch is no doubt In part the
demand of the Times that we shall
have honest elections.
II our elections are in every respect
what they should be, why does the
Dispatch wish a constitutional conven-
ton TO alter the qualifications OF SUI
frage? Assuming that our elections are
honest. as the Dispatch does, what more
can a Democratic paper wish than
continuance Of these provisions Of law
under which we have Democratic major
