existing laws the jail is the only haven

Speculation in Stamps.

The value Of 12-cent Hawaiian post
age stamps has advanced to 20 cents,
according to a good authority. Some
enterprising person yesterday bought
all OF these stamps on hand at the post
Office, to the extent of about $4,000.

Accomplishments of a Year.

What 1t has accomplished in the one
year of it's existence the manager has
tried to tell In her report; but the story
cannot all be told by any one person. The
breaking up of begging clothes from
house to house to be afterwards sold,
and the marked dlminution of begging
from house to house. which has long
been SO common in Honolulu, are pretty
substantial gains.
Much more would have been done In
these and similar lines, 1t Is safe to say,
had II not been for the many misguided
persons who have persisted in indiscrim-
mate giving.
The effects of investigation upon pau
perlsm are so prompt and destructive
that every person In the community is
warranted In refusing aid to any one so
letting IL until investigation has been
made. The habitual pauper does not
want to be investigated. Very few of
these who are furnished with reference
tickets to the manager by members. pre-
sent them. What they want is money or
something they can turn into money, and
chance to be investigated is something
they do not value.
II is easy to see that II all the chart
table societies of Honolulu should join

Horizon is Widenln :.

At the opening of the second year of
the Associated Charities, Hawaii is on
the threshold of a new departure. Our
horizon is widening. Opportunities are
greater and more numerous. Every
steamship from America brings visitors
and settlers. Demand and supply are re-
adjusting their relations, There is a com
ing harvest for the reaper of grain and
the reaper of tares The honest and the
industrious are welcome; sharpers, swim
dlers, procurers, professional criminals
and professional paupers are here al
ready, and more are coming and will
come If we do not organize to make the
Paradise of the Pacific a veritable hades
for these enemies of society.
The Associated Charities Is not an or
ganization to aid the professional beggar
to live comfortably without work, but
rather to force him, for want of patron
age, to turn to respectable means of sub
sistence or to migrate to other lands. 1t
is an investigating body seeking to dis
criminate between impostors and worthy
objects of charity, and to protect the
community from the former and aid 1t
in directing the flow of its beneflcence to
the latter; to conserve the expenditure of
charitable funds, that they be not wasted,
but go where they viii do the most good.
1t Is in no sense rival to the charitable
societies of Honolulu, but to an extent
an agent of them all.

Professional Beggars.

There is another class of siv,rs wIo
are largely responsible for the existence
and prosperity of professional beggs RS
These have sensitive natures and The
sight of misery gives them pain, which
they seek to alleviate by seemingly ale
waiting, but really perpetual ing, the APP
parent need on exhibition before them
Like the first class they aheerfully lay
the necessary tax as a desirable personal
investment.
1t would hardly appear that either of
these classes are laying mp treasure IN
heaven through such payments, thoul h
they may arrive there ana prosper on
other grounds
Investigations into The sociology of
pauperism reveal the fact that AS n rule
all those who solicit aims are profession
al beggars. The exceptions Are few. This
is the experience of the manager Of the
Associated Charities of Honolulu curing
the first year of its existence
Rev. Mr.. Brine, the late pastor of the
Central Union Church, told me that dur
ing or just after his theological studies.
he was at one time living n New YORK
city and having a good deal of lesule c,
he made 1t rule to investigate the case
of every person who came to the nouee
for aims. There We're good many ana
not a single one of them turned ont TO
be a proper case for relief.

ENGLAND'S. HARD LESSON.
Observations of "One of the Most
Celebrated and Experienced OBJ
servers OF War"

The characteristic weakness in the
present campaign is the old, vicious evil
Of insular arrogance and habitual con-
tempt of others, of which it sometimes
seems that Englishmen will never be
cured until. they have received a per-
manently SOLDERING lesson at the hands
of some European adversary. We have
been demoralized by victories over col
ored races, forgetting that war is like
music, where bad practice is worse than
none. Which of those who are attack
ing the war office and giving generals
the benefit of all the obvious ideas of
the armchair were in favor of the gov
eminent sending out more than 10000
men to South Africa six months ago?
The Beers had to be dealt with, but they
were not for that reason to be despised.
| have hardly ever known an English
man from South Africa who was not
confident that the Beers were stink
ing cowards," and the rest Of it, who
would never stand up against British
troops in the field.
We had exactly the same opinion of
the American colonists, and when
George III. thought that a few regi
ments would be enough to bring them
to subsection he only showed that he
was 4 most typical Brjton. Before the
Boer war nothing would induce British
officers to believe that these unkempt,
frowsy farmers could fight trained
troops in uniform, and that loose shirts
and patched breeches might have a
good account of pipe-clay. The most
formidable British forces ever put into
the field, blocked or surrounded in
every direction by a rough colonial
miiitia-there has never been anything
like it in history! 1t is nearly certain
that the forces with which the enemy is
holding us in check are far smaller than
we have recently tried to believe.
This is situation that ought to cure
us Of the complaint of blind national
egoism. But l fear that even yet the
tendency of public opinion is to believe
tina. everything would have been easy
if the war office had only gone right
"Wellington did not make those noun
tains," said Massena at Torres Vedras
The war Office did not SOW South At
RIGA with the kopjes which are the al
most internal feature of that country.
With the quality of our opponents and
the immense difficulty of the ground,
we shall be fortunate if we escape a
further and a final awakening.-N. Y.

Last of the Order of the Golf.

With the death of Mr.. Sergeant
Spinks, @. C., the Ancient Order of the
Golf ceases to exist, SO far as the bar
is concerned. Indeed, of the members
of Serjeant's Inn two only now remain,
the master Of the rolls and Lord Field;
and as sergeant ceases to retain any
of the privileges of his position when
raised to the bench, it may be said that
the Order of the Golf (the judges who
have been serjeants wear little black
patch on the top of their wigs) is now
extinct. Mr.. SERGEANT Spinks, who was
chosen a serjeant in 1862, when he had
reached his forty-sixth year, was con-
servative member for Oldham from 1874
to 1880. He was an able lawyer, and in
his day gained q great reputation as q
cross-eXaminer.-Lo Globe.
