SUNDAY SCHOOL EXHIBITIONS.


Yesterday the quarterly exhibit
lions of Sunday Schools were held
at Kawaiahao and Kaumakapili
churches. The one at the former
place was one of the best ever held
since the practice was initiated there
in 1869. Mr.. w. H. Castle, SUPER
intendent OF the schools connected
with Kawaiahao congregation, pre-
sided, and the schools participating
were Waikiki, Moiliili, Manoa, Ma.
kiki, Maunakiekie, Kakaako, Hooulu
Lahui, and Kulakahuna. The head
school of Kawaiahao church aided
by the girls giving a recitation in
English Of the Golden Text and
singing several songs. Mr.. Berger,
bandmaster, led the singing on the
organ, assisted by eight of his band
boys on other instruments, and the
musical exercises were, therefore,
magnificent, zach Of four Sunday
school hymns 10 so grand an accom-
paniment being described as
bringing success" Throughout the
whole programme, which was
lengthy one, all the schools dis
played remarkable proficiency. No
less than four or five original songs
were sung, composed by natives
connected with the schools. Prin-
cess Liliuokalani was present at the
exhibition; also Mr.. Colling, SUPER
intendent of large Sunday school
in Oakland, Cal. THIS gentleman,
in brief address, stated that he
had been engaged in Sunday school
work for twenty years, during which
time he had witnessed many cognate
gatherings, but had never seen a
Sunday school exhibition come off
so thoroughly successful as this one.
Mr.. Castle had the great pleasure of
announcing that Princess Liliuoka-
lani would give special prize at the
annual exhibition in June, to the
best class that had not hitherto car
ried off trophy; also that Princess
Kaiulani would give prize open to
competition by all classes. These
exhibitions are proving to be very
advantageous in exciting emulation
among the several Sunday schools,
in the requirement of Scriptural
knowledge and the development of
recitative and musical talent.
The exhibition at the Kaumakapili
church was splendid success,
being the best held in a long time:
Fen schools, presided over by Mr..
A. l.. Smith, superintendent, Joined |
in the exercises of the occasion, |
namely, Kahoohiki, Pauoa, Waika-
halulu, Kikihale, Kapalama, Holo-
kahana, Maemae, Kapuukolo, Kau-
makapili and Kaakopua. The house
was thronged with visitors, among
the ladies present being Mrs. j. d.
Dickson and Mrs. S. NJ. Damon, of
Honolulu, and Mrs. Mills and Mrs.
Dorman, of California. All the ex-
ercises were gone through with in
even more than the usual excellent
manner. Especially was the singing
good, showing evidence of long and
careful preparation. There was also
great proficiency exhibited in the
questions and responses,
five addresses of this sort by boys
being particularly praiseworthy.
Each class had its own leader for
both singing and recitation. Every
thing passed off nicely, the exhibit
ton being credit to the mastery
of Mr.. Smith, as we'll as
to the talent and industry of the
scholars Mar. goth.

given in excellent style. The reci-

ally superior rendering of the piece.
The visitors present gave close
attention and were very highly
pleased with the exercises of the
day April 3rd.

The Mechanics Institute.

~ nc EUtW " INC DtoputCH
The bill establishing the Virginia
Mechanics Institute is now pending as
a special order in the House of Dele
gates. 1t must not escape the atten-
ton Of your legislators that a modified
mercantile existence has taken the place
of the old agricultural relations in this
State. Our school systematic dearest
system to the people that exists-is i'm
perfect in not providing a course Of in
dustrial education. An intelligent
comprehension Of the relations of labor
to its objects is necessary to place our
mechanics on an equal footing with
northern enterprise; and yet there is
not school in our State which meets
the requirements Of our workingmen.
Practical mechanical principles receive
butlittle attention atany Of our colleges.
Ask any NJ. A. Of your acquaintance
educated at our great University the
weight and dimensions of an ordinary
brick, and he can't answer you salts.
factoIily. Here in the city of Rich.
mond we have a grand opening for a
splendid industrial school. The great
workshops are so many class-rooms
inviting the students to instruction.
The bill before the Legislature was
unanimously reported by the Commit
tee Of the House on Manufactures, and
has received also the approval Of
the Finance Committee. 1t asks the
the State for the sum Of 100000 for
building purposes on condition that the
city apprOpriates $50, 000-a sum which
she has already provided for without
awaiting the action Of the Legislature.
For an annual endowment the State and
the city are to contribute each $4,000.
The bill provides also for a suitable
hall for the agricultural department of
the State, the present quarters for that
department being considered positively
dangerous.
1t is truly to be hoped that the ques-
ton of expense will not be allowed to
interfere with the passage of the bill.
Any party opposing it is in danger of
rendering itself unpopular. At the
late Farmers Convention a similar pro-
ject was unanimously recommended to
the legislature and the mass-meetiog
Monday night in the city of Richmon.
showed by its unanimous endorsement
of Mr.. Lyon &. Tyler's resolutions
that the passage Of this bill would be
taken as a kindly concession in the in
terestS Of the workingmen. The insti-
tuition, as its name implies, is open to
the youth Of the whole State, and its
importance justifes the very letter of
those resolutions, which request that
the Legislature shall remain in session
until the bill is passed.

mass Of intelligent laborers. Why
should thousand men be kept in gall
ing slavery that some Of their number
may fret themselves with ambition and
drink at last the bitter cup OF disap.
pointment? Its, therefore, to be hoped
that labor unions may be properly and
successfully conducted that their mem
bers may obtain the comforts and bless
ings Of civilized life for themselves and
families, and that capital at the same
time may make and enjoy its iair and
legitimate profits; and to do this, upon
all the principles of equity, capital must
meet labor upon exact equality, aud
each must be guided by regard Tor the
rights Of the other.

Charges Against an Army Officer

The Washington Republican says that
charges have been filed with the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs against
Second Lieutenant John F. McBlair,
which, if sustained, will not only defeat
the pending nomination Of that officer
to be first lieutenant, but may result in
his being cOurt-martialled and dismissed
the service. McBlair enlisted in 1872
in the Second cavalry, and served as an
enlisted man until 1880, when he was
promoted to be second lieutenant and
assigned to the Ninth cavalry. Prior
to his promotion he married a young
lady in West Philadelphia, and it is
charged that after his promotion he
wrote to his wife informing her that his
promotion placed him so far above her
in the social scale that it would be bet
ter that they should be divorced, as he
could not introduce her into the society
of his brother-officers and that Of their
families, and that finally he obtained
divorce in California court-a State

ground that the divorce was ille-

Senator Logan agreed that the charges

The Philadelphia Neps says there is
no constitutional authority for the
assumption the President makes through
Mr.. PUGH that certain document
called for by the Senate is not a public
document. and adds:
1T is purely the arbitrary act of an
obstinate man. The Senate cannot force
the President to yield the position which
he has taken, but popular judgment
favors the view of the Senate"
We think the Necs will find consid-
cradle difficulty in proving that popular
judgment favors the view of the Senate.
However, admitting that the News is

correctly, the question arises, What is

The Democratic Opposition ia the
Senate TO the Amendments 90 the
Petersburg Charter.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Twenty members Of the present
Senate voted in the session Of l883-'64
for the present charter Of Norfolk,
which provides for four wards, one of
which, with voting population Of 1900
mostly negroes, has only six council
men, while the other three have twenty.
four councilmen, divided among 1900
voters-these three white wardsl made
80 by gerrymander.
Petersburg, with the following I'M
equal proportions Of pOpulation-First
Ward, 3,645; Second, 2,599; Third,
1929; Fourth, Abs; Fifth, 4,476 !;
Sixth, 2,8l6-all four members each
asked that these be remedied by proper
amendments to her charter, which is
refused by twelve Democratic senator's
coalesciDg with the ten Republicans Of
the Senate. This city, whose tax-ra;e
is LEO on the assessment; whose real
estate sells at 30 per cent. below the
assessment of the commissioner Of the
revenue a; large per cent. Of whose
stores are frequently vacant and for
long periods; whose flour-mills have
almost ceased to operate; whose cot
ton trade, from 10000 bales since the
war, has flllen to $4,000 per annum
now; whose bank-rate of discount
is and . per cent, and loans difficult
to negotiate at that, and whose future
is menaced by the control of class
which is curse to any community
this city. whose experiences aud sur
roundings are without a parallel in
calamities-asked for a constitutional
change in her organic law, and is re-.
fused by Democratic senator's whose
vanity is reflected in the streams Of
their turgid rhetoric. Those senator's
declare a minority should never control
a majority. Stuff! DO maiorities
never change to that side which has the
speculative advantages? Who can tell
whether an amended charter will in
ure to the benefit of the one or
the other party? Can charters
be passed or amended by any other
than party agency, and is either ever
done without any regard to political
purposes? Why should Norfolk be
granted an amended charter and Pc
te1sbuIg refused the same application
in quality and effect? DO those sena-
tors know that our present charter, Sc
cured under the auspices Of Malone
and Cameron, legislated into Office
nearly twenty-four Democratic coun-
cilmen twelve months beyond the time
they were elected by the people: Ii
legislated in. can councilmen no. also
be legslated out with prOpriety aud
lawfully?
Those senator's, secure in their sense
of immunity from curses which rest
upon US and at ease with themselves,
care nothing for others, whose necessi-
ties are not felt by them, and in their
Indifference split hairs about political
theses.

Sensation In the French Chamber.

PARIS, March IN. Clemenceau
caused sensation in the Chamber of
Deputies to-day by demanding that the
French Princes be expelled from the
country. He denied that their expul-
sion would be contrary to republic
can principles. Those principles,
he said, we're based upon the
rights of man. The Princes claimed
by virtue of their birth more
rights than other men enjoyed, and
they therefore condemned themselves
by placing themselves outside of dem
ocratic society. NJ. Clemenceau was
enthusiastically applauded. \ major
ity Of groups in the Chamber Of Depu-
ties are now in favor of the expulsion
of the Princes.
