A Pleasant Entertainment.-The Towson-
town M. E. Sunday school held its annual enter
tainment and treat in the lecture room of the
church, on New Years night. Although the
weather was very disagreeable, there was good
audience present. The exercises consisted OF
readings, recitations and singing of hymns appro-
pirate to the occasion. At the conclusion of the
programme the large doors in the rear of the stage
were opened, displaying to the eyes of the audi
ence large Christmas tree heavily laden with
bags of confectionery. Old Santa Claus immedi-
ately made his appearance, and after amusing
the little by his antics, distributed the bags
to the members of the school. The school is in a
prosperous condition, there being l79 names on
the roll. Mr.. J. E. Dunphy is the superintendent,
who is ably assisted by efficient corps of officers
and teachers.

dreamed loudly for help, which frightened the
niscreants off. The lady had number of valu

she had made in the city.
One week previous, Mrs. Joseph Duncan, &C
cdmpanied by another lady, drove to the city to
make some purchases. They left their carriage
il the vicinity of Belair market, with a number
packages in it, and when they returned these
were missing, thief having appropriated them.

By the arrangement OF Rev. Mr. GLENN, chaplain,
Il select number of the infant class of his charge
visited the Jail on New Years day and delighted
the inmates Of the prison with their songs and re-
citations. The children, notwithstanding their
sombre surroundings and novel audience, sang
with the same self command and enthusiasm as is
their wont in the Sunday school while the pris-
oners for the time being, seemed to forget their
unhappy fate in the great pleasure the visit and
songs of the children afforded them. The applause
given in token of their delight, by the inmates of
the JAIL gave cheerful proof to the little singers
that their visit and performance were highly ap-
preciated by their audience. The children were
accompanied by their teacher, Mrs. James Sheridan
and daughter, the latter leading the singing.

Squirrels in the Park.-The Sun says that
many of those who drive in the less frequent parts
of Druid Hill Park surprised at the unusual
number of squirrels on the ground, and occasion
ally stop to watch the movements of the graceful
creatures. At times some of them would disap-
pear beneath the crust in which they had been
scratching, leaving only their waving brush vsi
ble When they came back to the surface it was
always with nut or acorn, and they would scam
per to the nearest tree to enjoy a meal. The sur
face of the snow all through the woods is dotted
with the mining operations of the squirrels. 1t is
a mistake to suppose they lay up their store of
food in the trees. They may be seen in the
autumn burying the nuts and acor ms in the ground
and now they work earnestly through the snow to
get to their larders. They bury the nuts seper
ately.

in Valombrosa." and slate after slate has
been whispered around Much as we
desire change much as we desire TO see
the country once more IN a fair way tu
cleanly and decurous government, We must
say that we can hardly give credence to
the rumors. We may be wrong, but it
looks uncommonly as If sand was being
thrown into the eyes Of the opposition.
By these rumors il Is hoped that the unity
Of the opposition may be broken up that
some men will be disposed to hang back
and wait to see what kind of cabinet
will be graciously accorded TO them by the
King under the orders of Mr.. Spreckels.
To our mind, just now is the very time
when every move of the opposition both
inside and outside the House should be
strained It is no time for lying on our
oars and watching the "Will-o'the-Wisp'
rumors as they fit from lip TO lip.
A change Of Ministry must come sooner
or later. What the country needs is that
il should come sooner. in order to save it
from disaster. The present incumbents
OF Office have neither the confidence of the
people nor Of the representatives. Every
day they remain IN Office they disgrace
Hawaii more and more and every day they
remain in Office they show that the King
cares nothing for the honor OF his country,
and also show that Mr. Spreckels prefers
suhservient tools TO honest acH
We doubted the genuiness of the senti
ments of economy which appeared in the
Kings Message, and our doubts were con
firmed when the King signed the $4,000
subsidy bill for the Oceamc s. 5. Company.
We now doubt that any real attempt Is
being made to form a new cabinet. II it
were honestly desired. new cabinet of
honest, independent men could be found
in twenty four hours We trust that our
doubts may be fallacious. but the longer
the change is put off. the larger the circle
Of doubters viii grow. and the deeper will

wrong done TO her citizens.

A GOOD deal has been said and written
concerning the Kings reasonsfor a change
of Ministry: it is claimed by the present
Ministers and their advocates that al
though a change Is required TO be made
and will be made, 1t Is in no sense to be
regarded rs a concession TO the expressed
views of the community or Of the members
of the opposition. BY many it Is said and
believed, that the real power behind the
throne, which dictates when Ministers shall
be removed and when not. and what men
shall be appointed, Is Mr.. Spreckels. 1t
seems 10 be generally understood that the
lottery bill must have been forced through
but for his objection. and that the Minis
teriRl party favored the first and second
bank charter bills solely in his interests.

ON the 23d instant, Mr. Kapena, as Min
lister Of Finance, gave notice that on and
after August /, payment OF customs du-
ties will be received only III gold coin. We
are told by the T. G. .idretissr, that this
notice is due to n protest by the American
Minister Resident, who claims that pay
ment Of duties in silver Is a violation Of
the treaty of reciprocity. because goods
imported from other countries than the
United States are thereby subjected to
payment of duties which are eight per
cent. less than II paid, as the law requires,
in United States gold.
The treaty was made january 30, 1915,
ratified April II, 1875, and formally adopt
ed 10y Act of Legislature. July Is 1876.
By the currency Act Of 1872, which con
tinued in force until March l, 1877, the
legal standard Of money in this Kingdom
was the American half dollar, and, Ameri
can silver coin at its nominal value, and
lawful gold and silver coins OF all other
nations at their values as fixed by the
King IN Privy Council. are made lawful
money here, in payment Of all public and
private debts, duties dues and taxes
It is not easy 10 see therefore. on what
grounds it can be claimed that the treaty
requires gold duties, even if the law now
in force requires them.
AllusiOn has been made TO the decision
Of the Supreme Court that Hawaiian gold
bonds could legally be issued only for
United States gold. under the Loan Act Of
1882 BY the wording OF that Act, and by
the wording Of the currency Act OF 1876.
the principal and interest on the bonds,
and the duties on all imports. are payable
only in United States gold coin or its
equivalent"
We do not understand that the power of
declaring the equivalent OF United States
gold is vested in the King and Priyy Coun
Gil, or that even the Legislative Assembly
itself has the power to make values. This
question involves the old discussion OF .fd'
money. which we will not now undertake.

Yesterday afternoon, through some
cause or other. the Opposition members
were not in force in the House. and the
blatant Kaulakou took the opportunity Of
rushing ON the consideration Of the third
reading Of the bill to abolish the Auditor
Generalship with view Of killing IT. in
which he succeeded. The affair. as we are
informed, had been cooked up IN the
Palace the evening before, and circum
stances favored the projectors We had
better come right down to first principles
and understand that all projects Of reform
have no support either ron the King or
Claus Sprcckels. Every time any such
project Is put forward by either Of those
men. the community may put 1t down as
blind or a falsehood whichever they
prefer to do. There Is no honest reform
IN any shape. 10y either OF them the
present corrupt cabinet, Is the most agree
able, and the most convenient for the
purpose Of both.
