4 TICKLISH SITUATION.

]
Our dispatches of yesterday and to-day
state that the Powers are not satisfied
with the reply which Greece has re-
turned to their collective note demanding
the disarmament OF the Greek forces, as
an assurance that hostilities will not be
provoked with Turkey, and the result is
that most OF the foreign Ministers are ex-
pected to be ordered by their respective
governments to leave Athens. This is
7 doubtless the initiatory step ON the part OF
the Powers toward compelling compliance
with the terms OF their ultimatum, and
it wi Il be n sorry day for Greece when
ever that work is entered upon. But
Notwithstanding this dark outlook, the
Greek Government seems determined to
meet the Turkish forces, and even now
it is reported to be massing troops on the
rontier for that purpose.
King Georges Ministers profess to be-
lievc their land army strong enough to
seize the territory claimed under the
treaty OF Berlin, and it has been talked
that the Greek fleet could force passage
through the Dardanelles to Constanti-
nople. As it seems impossible that any
intelligent Greek could believe his coun-
try equal to these achievements, We are
forced to impute the present action Of the
Athens Government. TO secret assurances
OF powerful support. As there is no reason
to believe that King Georges Gen
erals and Ministers are wanting in
sagacity and sanity, the portentous
disproportion OF strength between his
resources and the Sultan's must
be quite obvious. Neither can they be
less familiar than are outside observers
with the other seemingly unpropitious
features OF the situation. They have
heard Lord Roseberry repeat Lord Sails
bury's warning that ii the Greeks attack
the Porte, they will do so ut their own
risk, and they know that the allied fleet
in the Egean has been ostensibly in
structed TO keep the peace. What facts,
then, rs yet undivulged, outweigh all
these considerations? What promises,
unpublished, but relied upon, induce the
Athens Government to disregard its
consciousness OF weakness and its
apparent isolation. Is there, in
truth, secret treaty between
Greece and Servia, concluded with the
connivance OF Servia's protector, Austria,
and pledging tho ultimate intervention OF
the Hapsburg power? Or is King George
depending upon assurances from st.
Petersburg that the first reverse expert
enced by the Greeks in Thessaly shall be
the signal Tor Muscovite advance, and
is the Cars design foreshadowed by the
early withdrawal OF the Russian squadron
from the allied fleet intrusted with peace
preserving functions?
Ii there be secret OF this kind, it has
been kept with Il success for which there
is no recent precedent. Since newspa-
pers began TO collect information and to
reflect opinion, no event has been SO
wrapped in mystery as the resolve OF the
Hellenic Government to enter in contest
that to all appearances will mean for it
disaster, and we can only wonderngly
await an explanation Of the conduct that
reveals n fixed intention of attacking the
Turkish forces in Thessaly.

NO USE FOR TRAITORS.

The DEMOCRAT has on more than one
occasion expressed its belief and hope
that the Senate would refuse to confirm
the nomination OF X. s. Dement, to be
Surveyor-General for Utah. The grounds
upon which that belief is based and that
hope indulged, have also been stated,
and to our mind they are all-suflicient.
Senator Voorhees,, not many days ago,
is reported to have openly expressed his
regret at having been beguiled into vot-
ing for Dement'S confirmation when the
matter was under consideration the first
time, and he is also represented as hav-
ing announced his intention of
opposing his confirmation when it
shall next be taken up, justify
ing his intended opposition with
the significant remark that he " had no
use for traitors" The Democracy of
Utah are in the same boat with Senator
Voorhees,. They believe that man
who, protesting TO be Democrat, would
betray the confidence reposed in him on
the strength OF his professions, and thus
bring about such a disastrous defeat rs
the Democrats experienced when General
Logan instead OF Colonel Morrison was
returned to the United States Senate
from Illinois, is no fit man to be placed
in responsible Federal position by
Democratic Administration. Such
man, instead OF being rewarded with an
office, is deserving only OF Democratic
execration for his perfidy. As for the
pioof OF all this, we are content to take
the mans own admission. He himself
has stated that he worked like bea-
yer for Logan"-implying, OF course,
q corresponding amount of work in op.
position TO the election OF Colonel Mori-
son-and that ought to be enough, so far
as the Democratic party is concerned, to
damn him politically forever and aye.
The Democrats OF Utah have no use
whatever for Mr.. Dement,, and to man
they are waiting to hail with pleasure the
announcement that his nomination has
been rejected by the Senate.

BOUNCING A GENTLE.

short time ago, young gentleman,

ity, attended public dancing party
given in the Twentieth ward. He had
been there but short time when po-
liceman, who was in attendance, came to
him and roughly informed him that he
must leave, as the presence OF none but
members OF the Mormon Church was
desirable. The young gentleman left,
with the lady who accompanied him
there, and against whose reputation a
word had never been or could be uttered.
This is but one OF thousand instances
ol the enforcement of the inhexible
social rule, which the Mormon City
authorities have suspended upon the oc-
casion OF the complimentary party to be
given to Governor West this evening,

THE BAMBoozLE BALL.

The municipal ball compliment TO Gov
ernor West this evening, is unprecedented
in the history OF Mormon society ethics,
and the innovation is palpably due to the
eXigencics OF the OCCASION Invitations
have been extended to nearly all of the
prominent Gcntiles in the city. The OBJ
iect, evidently, is to bamboozle the Gov
ernor into the belief that social distinc-
ton cuts no figure in the rrepressible
conflict between the contending elements
in the Territory This is lie upon its
face. The social line is drawn fully as
definitely as the political barrier which di-
vides the loyal and disloyal elements. In
proof OF this, one has only to turn to the
files oil the Church organ for the last few
weeks, where will be found number of
articles condemning promiscuous social
sssemblages, and urging upon the Saints
the necessity oil holding themselves aloof
from the Gentiles, and limiting their re-
creations to such asscmblages as are con-
Quoted under the auspices and at
tended only by the members OF the Nor.
mon Church. 1t even lectures its subor-
dinate morning echo upon the impro-
priety OF publishing such society items
as include Gentle names as par
ticipants in the festivities. Unfor-
fortunately, there is no concerted
plan of action among the loyal
element, and the Governor is liable to be
misled in regard to the social status OF
the city and Territory. There will prob
ably be quite Gentle attendance at the
ball this evening, but every loyal Amerl-
can who will be there, will be actuated
by his or her respect for the Governor OF
Utah, rather than courteous response to
an invitation, which would never have
been extended, except for the purpose of
making the recipient an accessory to the
fraud designed upon the Chief Executive
OF the Territory. The Governor is perfectly
right in recognizing this apparent COM
plimcnt from the municipal authorities
OF the capital OF the Territory in the
spirit in which it is ostensbly extended.
He could scarcely, as an American gen.
tleman, do otherwise. 1t is not his PROV
ince to question tho motive OF such a
demonstration emanating from such n
source. Time will, however, develop the
true inwardness of the affair, and the
sinister designs OF its promoters, in ignor-
ing, for this occasion, the Mormon rule,
which excludes Gsntiles from their social

IT is claimed by the Republicans OF
Utah that their party is pre-eminently
the principal motive power in the Con-
gressional movement against the existing
Utah evil. Mr.. Western, who is famii-
lar with the facts concerning the removal
oil Judge Powers, says; "If the Repub-
lican Senate Committee on Judiciary wab
as much in earnest in its opposition to
polygamy as the President is, they would
not have refused to report favorably on
Powers; for he has the courage and
ability to make it warm for the twin relic,
if lie had been given the opportunity"

WHEN the Duke OF Sutherland ap-
peared Mt New York wedding breakfast
in colored shirt and a shooting jacket,
and brought with him an unlimited guest
in the person OF woman who was not
his wife, the contemptuous freedom with
which he ignored society usages
served New York society right. The
travelling British nobleman, without
regard to his character or breeding, is fed
on adulation by certain sort OF Ameri-
cans until lie imagines himself above all
the laws OF decency. We rejoice in every
kick he administers to the snobbish So
cety that worships him. The Duke OF
Sutherland is rather hard character,
but if he can bring little manly feeling
through the thick skin OF an Anglo
maniac, his existence will not have been
in vain

The Reno New Gazette says the Salt
Lake DEMOCRAT item about the reopen
ing OF the Carson mint, which is going
the rounds, is as great nuisance as the
advertisement, "lIow does your watch
run?" The prospect OF the re-opening of
that institution is sore subject to the
Republicans Of Nevada, who hope to
make whole LOT Of political capital out
OF the closing Of it down and the failure Of
Senator Fair to secure its re-opening.
They are pretty sure, however, 10 be dis
appointed.

The MararOa.

From our San Francisco advices we
take the following facts regarding the
Mararoa: Owing to the Britannia steam
ship breaking her shaft on the Atlantic
and being compelled to return TO Liver
pool with the Australian and New
Zealand mail on board, the sailing of
the Mararoa was postponed for one
week. The mail was transmitted to
the Adriatic. The London Post Office
authorities telegraphed to the New York
Postmaster regarding the detention, and
Gen. Pearson communicated to Messrs.
J. D. Spreckels & Bros, San Francisco,
inquiring whether the Mararoa would
await the arrival of the mail due at New
York by the Adriatic on the 18th in
slant. The Resident Agent of the New
Zealand Government cabled to the Post
master-General of that Colony for in
structions, and received a reply that
the Mararoa must wait. Further COM
munication by telegraph was had with
the Post Office authorities in the United
States. Superintendent White, by tele-
graph from Chicago, April 18th, advised
the New Zealand Agent at San Fran
cisco that the final installment of 120
sacks of British mail had been for
warded at o'clock that morning by the
G.. B. & Q. r. r. This portion of the mail
should have arrived at San Francisco on
Saturday last, upon the afternoon of
which day the Mararoa would take her
departure Unless some other accident
has occurred to cause further delay, we
may expect the Mararoa early to-mor-
row. The Mararoa brings no freight for
Honolulu, being full up for the Colonies.
A large number of passengers are booked
by the Mararoa, among them the Camp
obeIlo troupe.

THE DUTIES OF CHARITY.

We have pleasure in directing atten-
ton to a letter by Mr.. Theo. II. Davies,
in reference to the charitable obligations
of our fellow-citizens towards sufferers
by the late fire, more especially the Chi
nese. 1t is undoubtedly true that very
many of the Chinese residents of Homo
lulu lost the accumulated savings of
years by the fire, and that not a few OF
them are in very Strengthened circum-
stances. Work is now scarce, business
having been suspended over what was
last week by far the most populous part
of the city; and for this reason alone the
necessity for extending a helping hand
to aid them to tide over the present
emergency is pressing. If work were
plentiful the Chinese laboring population
might be safely left to take care of them
selves; but this is not the case, and Mr..
Davies has most properly brought their
condition before the public in thought
full and suggestive letter which appears
in another column of to-day's ADvER-
TIsER.
We indorse his suggestion that
meeting of citizens should be held to de-
liberate upon this subject. But mas
much as there may be some hesitancy as
to who should take the initia-
tive, we would venture to suggest !
that Mr.. Davies should associate
other gentlemen with himself as a COM
mittee to undertake the preliminary
work. We have no doubt many leading
citizens would be quite agreeable to act |
with him to give effect to his laudable
suggestions, and we are likewise satisfied
his generous offer OF money aid will

SMALLPOX IN THE HARBOR.

The arrival of the City of Rio de Jan
Giro, with 10 Chinese passengers for
this port, was announced in yesterdays
ADVERTISER. 1t was not, however,
definitely known at the hour of going to
press whether there was any sickness on
board which would involve quarantine,
although it was rumored that two of the
passengers for Honolulu were unwell.
During the day, however, it was an
nounced that two cases of smallpox had
developed among the Honolulu section
of the Chinese on board. There are
some 900 Chinese on this vessel, the
great majority being en- route to Hong
kong from San Francisco. No disease
showed itself among them. The immi-
grants for this port had been on the YES
sci forty days, from China, as they were
not permitted to land at San Francisco
The Board of Health took every pre-
caution to prevent the introduction of
the disease, as will be perceived from
the details published in our local col
umn. The medical inspectors recon-
mended that the immigrants for this
port be landed at the Quarantine Sta
ton. This will be done to-day by the
ships boats. There Will be no COM
munication with the shore except at the
Quarantine Station.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.

The action of the view jury on city
improvements has been prompt and de-
cisive. The comprehensive plan sub
mitted by the Minister of the Interior
was not only Endorsed, but in one or
two particulars the jury's recommends
ton went further, and will undoubtedly
add considerably to the direct advan-
tages which must accrue from these i'm
provements when completed. The
recommendations of the jury appear in
another place, and the names appended
are sufficient guarantee that private
as we'll as public interests were con-
suited.
The remaining steps in the somewhat
cumbrous process provided by law for
completing all the preliminaries in such
cases will be taken without delay. Mean
time we understand that the Superin-
tendent of Public Works will have a
staff of surveyors on the ground to-day
stalking off the new street lines, fixing
grades, and determining the amount of
material to be moved and work done in
grading, draining and macadamizing the
new streets, with view to an estimate
of the cost. This can be done under ex-
listing circumstances with comparative
ease because the ground is now clear of all
buildings and can be viewed throughout.
Every step taken by the Government
since the late fire occurred has received
the unqualified Endorsement of the best
and most intelligent citizens of Homo
lulu. The sole aim and object of the
Government is to turn what looked like
a national disaster into an ultimate bless
ing. This may be accomplished by
carrying Rout, in their entirety, the re-
concentrations OF the jury. No middle
course will suffice. The streets should
be widened and extended upon the lines
laid down; new streets should be
opened as proposed, giving free &C
cess to all parts of the burnt district;
and throughout it all sewers should be
constructed on the grade already deter
mined by the Public Works Depart
ment, so as to form part of a compre-
hensive drainage system to be ultimately
constructed. The cost will be less and
the inconvenience trifling now compared
with what it would be if the district
were closely built over. 1t is like max
ing a start to build a new town upon a
well-considered plan, which would leave
nothing to be done in after years save
repairs and necessary extension.

meet prompt response. This is an oc-
casion when race prejudice should be for
gotten. The Chinese have been long
resident in the country, and in their own
way have done much to develope its re-
sources. Whether this was the best way
to that end is not now the question. The
Chinese community has been over
whelmed by great calamity, and the
dictates of humanity, altogether apart
from the teachings Of religion, require
at the hands of their more fortunate
neighbors kindly and well-directed as
distance

Smallpox on Board the City of Rio
de JaueirO.


de JRmeirO.
The steamer City of Rio de Janeiro
arrived off port about one O'Clock Thurs
day morning from San Francisco. Half
anhour later she was boarded by Dr.
John Brodie, Port Physician. The Off
GERS of the ship reported two cases of
Japanese measles. At daylight Mr..
Hayselden, Secretary of the Board of
Health, saw DIR. Brodie, who informed
him of the report of the officers, at the
same time expressing his opinion that
the two cases were not measles.
His Excellency Mr., Gibson was at
once communicated with, and later on
DR.. Brodie was instructed to communi-
cate with Drs. Trussseau and Webb, and
with them go on board and make thor
ough examination. This was done, and
at 10 o'clock these physicians returned
and made a written report to the effect
that among the one hundred and ten
Chinese passengers for this port there
were two cases of variloid. They recon-
mended that the passengers be landed in
quarantine, and further that the remains
of passenger named McGill, who died
the day before arrival at this port, be
taken to quarantine and there inferred.
McGill died OF pneumonia.
Immediately after His Excellency the
President of the Board of Health re-
ceived the doctors report, meeting of
the Board was called and a resolution
passed to the effect that the passengers
for this port be landed and placed in
quarantine as soon as the agents of the
vessel gave bonds to cover all quarantine
expenses. The necessary bonds were
perfected, and the passengers will be
landed this morning under the direction
of Mr.. Dayton, agent OF the Board of
Health, in the ships boats.
