NEEDLE WORK GUILD.

Gather up the fragments that nothing

this is the working motto, held its annual
meeting with the secretary, who made the
following report: The collection of use
full articles before us is the response that
we make today to the scriptural iujunc-
tion under which our work is carried on.
The experience of previous years assures
us of the cheer which each article will
bring to it's recipient. The pressing care
of the hard working smothsr will be lifted
by the ready made garment that we can
put into her hand. The discomfort of the
poorly clad child will become joy under
the warmth of our addition to his scanty
apparel. Thus we are stimulated to con
tinued effort, and the word which your
president wishes ME to give you today is
that you fail not to make known TO many

Great Britain as land grabber, miser.
able hypocrite which went around the
world gobbling up territory here and
there on. the pretence of extending civil
ization and Christianity. Their hatred
of England amounted to mania. To theil
heated imagination England was every
where present and always bent on mis-
chief England was preparing to appro
pirate Hawaii, therefore we must annex
it. England was checkmating the build
ing of the Nicaragua canal by refusing to
atrogate the Clayton Bulwer treaty. IL
speak in defence of England, to doubi
that she entertained the most diabolical
designs upon us was in their eyes proof
Of treason of the rankest kind.
All this is changed. Our whiloin
English haters now toady to England as
they used to do to Russia. The valiant
Morgan who used to breathe out threaten
ing and slaughter against the Lion be-
cause he stood in the way of the Nicara-
qua canal now roars as gently as suck
ing dove. Twas all a mistake that Eng
land wanted to checkmate the enterprise.
Senator Davis wants a hard and
fast alliance made with her.
We hear occasionally of free trade, but II
is no longer British free trade" The
British colonial system has promoted
civilization and Christianity all over the
world The long line of land grabberi
from Lord Give to Sir Cecil Rhodes
has turned into missionaries and promot-
srs of civilization, and what used to be
stigmatized as land grabbing is now
held up to us as an example
for us to emulate. Tae Monroe doc
trine, that SO short q time ago was the
great bulwark of our liberties, has
SO thoroughly lost it's Importance that II

in the Eastern hemisphere they reply
that the United States is no longer in
swaddling clothes Perhaps it is in defer
ence to their new found affection for the
country they used to hate that they declare

obsolete that though it might have been
well enough when Thomas Jefferson
wrote it changed conditions havea made
it nothing but high sounding phrase. not

Tried by the test of patriotism which
they set up and furiously maintained for
half a century most of the imperialists
would be convicted of rank treason, and
either exiled, or branded as mugwumps,
a far more cruel punishment But now
they claim to be the only patriots in

WORKROOM 1875.

The same general plan pursued during
the past years was followed in the work
room this year. From forty to fifty
women were given sewing, and at the
end OF the season in May, sale was held
when the garments were disposed OF.
Ma az women were helped over hard places
during the old winter. Ihls, of COURSE
is the prime object, and most gratifying
result of winters work to the ladies en-
gagged in this charity; but in order to Sc
cure this end for a period OF years there
must be another feature in the closing of
the seasons accounts namely, financial
success which would not have crowned
this or several preceding years, labor; but
for the timely assistance OF friends, upon
whom dependence cannot be placed in
future.
AS there seems to be no reasonable pros
pect that the workers of the past will re-
open the room this winter IL may be tit
ting to state few of the constantly
growing obstacles, which prevent the
success that attended the workroom in
the earlier years OF its operation.
The most careful investigation must
now and then fail to discover exact con-
ditions and thus occasionally unworthy
persons have received the work for awhile.
These mistakes could be quickly remedied
and @ little work never hurt anybody.
That we constantly employed incapab lie
workwomen was not from want of juag-
ment. but because the desire was so
strong and the need SO evident that we
could not refuse The result was that q
stock of garments was gathered together,
which none but the truly benevolenu were
willing to purchase. 70 compensate for
this loss, in former years there we're a
number of citizens who contributed mon
ey to buy material, but that number has
steadily decreased until two or three ouly

presented either money or material the
past season.
The second and harder obstacle to con-
tend with is, that the managers must
have a large corps OF faithful and compe,
tent ladies who are pledged to put in real
and constant labor weekly in the cutting
room. Many ladies' will come once, pos
sibly few times If an easy job can be
s,ivan them. but their zeal soon flags and
two or three 'stand-bys' are left to cut
and fit some dozens Of pieces OF Work IN
a single morning. The third and hardest
obstacle to overcome Is tne laco Cnae
while the managers know much OF tne
needIe-work ID tit for any lady S WARDROBE
or linen chest the patrons OF the sale re-
fuse to buy any but the choicest gar
ments. They criticize severely tne sew
ing and compare prices with those OF bne
stores where garments are maue az opeo
lutely starvation prices. OIten tne gal
ments made in the unknown are Worvn
more than the difference in price Tor tne
reason that the material used is mucn

they would generously patronize the an
seasons there has been marked falling
off in.the patronage of the citizens and the
managers ara satisfied that amid the
multiplicity Of attractive and enticing
methods adopted in charitable work, this
onarity has lost it's hold upon the benevo-
lent citizens. The few ladies who have
been identified with this work from the
beginning in thu autumn of 1880, have
always at the close of each season felt
fully compensated for the care and anxiety
often attending the work, for their time
spent and money contributed by the cheer
and comfort the work has carried into
many desolate homes. where abundant
expressions of heartfelt gratitude have.not
been lacking.
There is tide in the affairs of men.
why should there not be in women S
charities? We believe there is. We trust
that the tide during the past year ran out
to it's lowest ebb, and that new manage
ment will step in at this favorable time,
and with fresh ideas and hopeful courage,
bring in on food tide many new plans,
jealous workers, and best of all a rush of
buyers at the next sale.

The imperialistic back fire on Senator
Hale OF Maine is surprising. Why should
the imperialists care what MIR. Hale says
if they are so cock-sure that their treaty
win go acknowledgements Republican.
We don't think the tback fret was set
in Maine at all. 1t was probably set a
good many miles away though credited
to Maine for the sake of making it look
more impressive. But wherever it was
set it won't have any appreciable effect
upon Mr. Hale's election. We venture
to predict that there will not be single
Republican vote recorded against him
either in caucus or in the legislative
convention.

majority against the ordinance to extend
their franchises fifty years. The Inter
Ocean, Mr.. Charles L. Yerkes's organ,
declared day or two before the meeting
that the passage of the ordinance was
certa in, and the railroad people evidently
thought it was. But when the public gets
stirred up. as they evidently did in this
case, it takes a pretty valiant alderman to
stand up against them even I'm der the
