For the cause that lacks assistance, For tho wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

Dn. Macgregok, Inspector-General of Hospitals and Asylums, has been en gaged during his stay here in thoroughly investigating the system of charitable relief. The material which he is collecting upon this subject will be embodied in a report which -will be presented to Parliament in due course. For the purposes of this inquiry the Inspector-General made personal visits to G6 households, representing 200 souls to whom relief in one form or other is being supplied by the Auckland Hospitals and Charitable Aid Board. He found, as was to be expected, a good many cases of per sons who were destitute through their own misconduct—some were drunk at the time of the visit. On the other hand, there were many cases of a most deserving kind, women deserted by their husbands struggling hard to find bread for their children, and recipients of State aid whose hearts turned sick at the thought of living upon the bread of charity, and who had been driven to apply for aid through the direst necessity. Dr. Macgregor is convinced from what he has learned that the action taken by the Relief Committee of the Board in requiring that every applicant for aid shall come before the Committee in person to state the grounds of claim has had a very salutary influence in check ing that indiscriminate charity which pauperizes and degrades a people ; and the committee's inquiries have saved a considerable sum to the ratepayers. The action, of the members of the Board who took upon themselves this disagreeable and ardu ous service cannot be too heartily commended. Dr. Macgregor is still of opinion, however, that systematic per sonal visitation to the homes of those in receipt of relief is the only way to prevent abuses, and make certain that the undeserving shall not impose upon the public bounty while the poverty that hides itself is allowed to suffer in silence unrelieved.

This question of charitable aid is now a very momentous one to every local body in New Zealand. Wel lington has just struck a rate of 3d in the pound on its entire valua tion, and the levy made upon the Auckland revenues represents a rate of equal amount. Every small highway district throughout the colony finds its already too limited resources for constructing roads and opening up the country very seriously curtailed by the claims made upon it for charity. With the prospect of reduced, or discontinued subsidies from the General Government towards highway purposes and for the main tenance of the indigent, the problem of local government, in its financial aspects, has become the most vital question of the hour. That the problem of poverty should at so early a period in the his tory of the colony have presented it self in such an acute form is a most unpleasant feature in our public affairs, and it is one that cannot bo too early or too firmly grappled with. Every eleemosynary system ought to set before it as its principal aim the encouragement of self-help. It is infinitely better to give to place a person in a way of earning a livelihood than half the amount in indiscriminate and soul-debasing cha rity, without purpose or return except to relieve a temporary nocessity. There is a strong suspicion that '! the sturdy beggars " among the indi gent prey upon every charitable agency, taking all thehelp theycangetfrom each while the deseryingpoor are elbowed out. We have hoard it stated that even in connection with the Jubilee distribution of food, children were seen to enter,

and obtain supplies which were im mediately emptied into a bag outside, the applicants returning a3 "new cases" for more, until the supply col lected was exhausted before all who really needed help could be served. This is the true spirit of mendicancy which it is the duty of every well regulated system of charitable relief to repress. The poor we shall always have with us, and the poor must be helped even when their poverty is the result of improvidence or misconduct; but let us beware lest in granting assistance we inflict injury rather than do good. For that reason we heartily endorse Dr. Macgregor's opinion that personal visitation to the homes of recipients of charitable relief is the only way to ascertain the actual condition and merits of the cases for which claims are pre ferred to the Board. It is well also that applicants shall still ap peal in person to the Board, so that they may not be placed at the mercy of any single officer-; but the work of investigating each case and reporting upon it is clearly the duty of the officials, and not of the members of the Board, whose time is given gratuitously to the public. Dr. Macgregor's report and recommendations will be looked forward to with very great interest. From the manner in which he has car ried on his investigations in Auckland, his opinion cannot fail to be of very great value, and it will doubtless carry weight with the Charitable Aid Boards throughout the colony.

THE LATEST ENGLISH SCANDAL.

Lord Charles Beresford lias re signed his position as a Lord of the Admiralty, and his name is mixed up with a flagrant breach of etiquette in sucli a manner as might lead people to believe that the intrepid and heroic " bonnie Charlie " had got entangled in some disgraceful intrigue such as should exclude him from the sunshine of the Royal favour and ostracise him from honourable society. Eeuter's brief message is fortunately supple mented by a special cable des patch, which explains the matter more fully, and from this we learn that the scandalous be haviour of the noble Lord consisted in signalling a private message from the royal yacht to one of the war-ships taking part in the Jubilee review, to the effect that he wished his wife to join him after dinner! There does not appear to have been the slightest hint of "chops and tomato sauce," or anything verging on the improper in the message itself; but that does not lessen in the smallest degree the enormity of the offence. By the rules of the service, the Queen's consent must be obtained before any private message can be sent from a vessel on which she may be for the time being, and Lord Charles for dar ing to do the impossible (his feats on a gunboat up the Nile near Khartoum proved him to be brave almost to rash ness) has had to resign his high office, and bow his head before the sweeping blast of virtuous British indignation. The act of Lord Beresford appears to be utterly inexcusable. He surely knows that his Royal Mistress is "austere " in matters of etiquette, even to the ex tent of compelling her own sons to un cover their heads when addressing her, and that she consigns to a hopeless Coventry all who fail to comply with the rigid code of Court ceremonial; he knows, or ought to kuow, the rules of the service of which he is such aconspic uous ornament, yet in spite of his full knowledge; he must needs commit a flagrant breach which is telegraphed all over the world, which causes a flutter in that venerable body of Rip Van Winkles known as the Lords of the Admiralt}', excites the Royal dis pleasure, and may even threaten the lives and liberties of the British people! It is really too bad. We hope, however, that the many fearful possible conse quences of his shocking behaviour will be averted by the exercise of the Royal clemency in this year of Jubilee. Her Majesty is a strong admirer of the conjugal relation, and surely when she learns that Lord Charles Beresford's terrible breach of propriety consisted in sending an affectionate message to his wife the Royal heart will relent, the Lords of Admiralty will be placated, the noble delinquent will be pardoned, and he will be restored to position and favour amid the grate ful jubilations of a relieved popu lace. Lord Charles may bless his lucky stars that his lot was not cast in tin " bad old times," or he would pro bably now be languishing in the deepest dungeon of the Tower pre paratory to being beheaded and quartered pour encourager les autres, who might indulge the wild dream of unsettling the foundations of social order and infringing the divine rights of royalty.

The intense interest created in England by the Langworthy case is shown by the an nouncement made in our cablegrams to-day that a bill has been introduced in the House of Commons to legalise the marriage at Antwerp. The Court has also ordered Mr Langworthy to deposit security for the pciyment of the L6OO a year alimony awarded to his child. England's great boast has ever been the purity of her Courts of Justice and the succour afforded by her laws to the oppressed. The exposure to the world of the travesty upon justice revealed in this case has aroused the ire of the British public, and Mr Langworthy will be taught a lesson which may prove useful to others who think that they can, by means of their wealth, set the laws of their country at defiance and perpetrate gross wrongs with impunity.
