PRESIDENT BLAINE OF THE SAND
WICH ISLANDS.

The Mulligan letters, and the news Of good
DR.. Burchard's effective alterative ofTense
had not reached the Sandwich Islands prior
to the Presidential election, consequently
Mr. Blaine had an almost walk over cam
paign on the Islands, the vote for Belva
Lockwood not seriously impairing his pros
poets. His success there is unquestioned.
How soon he will be inaugurated is not
known. IL will depend upon the movement
Of the King, who will choose his own time to
abdicate in favor of the once Piumed Knight
The GLOBE is in receipt of communication
from Honolulu, giving an authentic report
of the Presidential vote there. The GLOBE
correspondence says:
'The American residents Of Honolulu are
accustomed to voting for President, Of course
without expecting their votes to be counted.
This year the ballot stood: Blaine, 425;
Cleveland, us; st. John, 4; Butler l; Belva
Lockwood l." 1t is now shrewdly suspected
that the reason why the Associated Press
played hobb with the returns, and the cleo
ton was so long delayed, was caused by the
Blainites waiting TO hear from the Sandwich
Islands, in the hope that the vote there might
counteract and overcome the baneful inilu-
ence OF DR.. Burchard's 'Rum, Romanism

BEARING FRUIT.

The Socialistlc demonstration in Chicago
on Thanksgiving day, appears to be bearing
its legitimate fruit There is no little uueasi-
ness in that city caused by manifestation of
a spirit OF unruly beligerency. An armed
guard was stationed, the night before Christ
mas, at the First Regiment Arnory. to protect
the arms and ammunition from possible pill
lage. Col. Knox stated to a newspaper re-
porter that he had received information that
four regular companies of Socialists had been
organized in the city, and at least two of
them had been equipped with breech-loading
rifles, and an organized outbreak might oc-
cur at any moment, and he thought it pru-
dent TO take every precaution, 50 as to defend
the arms and ammunition belonging to the
militia. No wonder apprehension is aroused
when such dangerous element exists in the
city, as made itself known on Thanksgiving
day with reckless speeeh-making.

SnCIIL DEELECTION.

The dissoluteness and immortality that de-
file social life, also creeps into churches
to the great scandal Of religious professions.
The City of Brooklyn has recently been great
ly excited fy an elopement OF au unusual
character. The wife of the Rev. Mr.. Downes
the pastor Of prominent church in that city,
eloped with Mr.. Young one OF his deacons.
Each left family OF children. After spend
ing their delightful and innocent honeymoon
both boldly returned aud sought to be rein
stated TO their former positions. Mrs. Young
seemed to yield aud soften towards her ex-
emplary lord, but an exssperated mob sur
rounded his house, and he suddenly came to
the conclusion that it would be better for his
health to seek another climate. He sneaked
out Of the hack door, but was discovered, and
ran with an exasperated gang Of bowling
avengers at his heels.
Mr.. Downes refused to meet his truant
wife and leaves her to the scorn of a world
which she has ceased TO adorn.
1t is n problem as yet uusolyed, as to what
element exists in human character that can,
especially in the case OF woman, offer no
barrier to a life Of shame, that breaks over
the barriers OF religious profession, and
brushes out that instructive sentiment OF
purity that is supposed to be inuate 10 every
female breast. When one in the high posi-
ton of this pastors wife falls from virtue in
TO vice, aud pluugcs into the deep sea of So
cial damuatiou, no wonder humanity is
shocked, the church scaudalized, religious
profession marred and the stability and re-
liability of human virtue largely disturbed.

Henry Ward Beecher, who said that working
men could live on one dollar day, aud that
bread and water was good enough for them, is
reported as the coming minister TO the Court Of
81. James under Cleveland's administration
Exchange.
The above is sheer fabrication. 1t has
been Hoating about in the papers for years,
and Mr.. Beecher has more than once public
ly denounced it as a falsehood. But lie
once started on its travels never tires, but
goes right on needless of denials. The Blaine
lite papers, enraged Mt the defeat of their can
didate, cannot forgive Mr.. Beecher for op-
posing his election, and they have revived
and pressed into their service, the above
ca!umnious statement, while in its very abb
surdity carries the evidence of its own falsity
on its face, had it not been categorically
denied. Mr.. Beecher may have defects and
eccentricities of character, but he is not a
fool.
