The Pending Campaign.

The Washington Post thinks it has dis
covered signs of a desire to renew the in
decency which married the Presidents
canvass of 1884, and puts the query:

If Baltimore didn't get "more than she
bargained for" in the annexation of the
Belt, she certainly got the worst of the
bargain, IS her taxpayers will presently re-
alize. The expenditures for police, water,
school houses, fire engines, opening and
Strengthening of streets, and for various
other purposes, will necessarily increase
city taxes, while the Belt is to enjoy ex-
emption for term of years, except for her
present rate of 60 cents on the 500. Bal
timore has certainly "paid dear for the
whistle" She may stick the Belt feather
in her cap, but they'll call her macaroni.

The election held in the Belt in Baltimore
county, on Tuesday last, resulted in the an
pexatiou of the northern and western sections
to Baltimore city. The eastern section de-
cided to stay out. The great fight was made
for the northern section. The people on the
Belair road and the voters at Canton kept
the eastern section out, giving 1853 majority
against city extension. The northern section |
extends from the Belair road to the Reisters-
town road, and takes in Waverly, Woodberry |

and the Frederick road. The vote by Sec

majority for, 358 Western Section-For
61s; against, 423; majority for,

against annexation, 4s5; majority against, l68.
The total number of voters in the northern
section is 4,790, western 1918, eastern 1,19s.
In the northern and western sections the
total vote for annexation was $500; the total
vote against was 1861, and the majority for
was 54s. Had the vote been taken as
whole the entire area would have been annex
ed bya majority of $50. Annexation, accord
ing to the act ofthe Legislature, takes effect
On the first Of June, so that after that date
Baltimore will be much larger city than it is

Japanese Christians,

Mr. EDITOR: There is at present a re-
ligious work among the Japanese resi-
dent in Honolulu that is one of the most
remarkable developments of Christian
missions ever known in this old mission
field. simultaneously with the arrival
of the Japanese immigrants here, Chris
tan people have been at work trying to
bring them under the influence of Chris
tan truth. With the opening OF Queen
Emma Hall as center of Evangelistic
work, a new impetus was given to this
work among the Japanese. The light
of Christian truth has gradually revealed
the glory of the life offered to man
through Jesus Christ. But there has
been a rapid elimination of personal in
terest in the spirit and aims of Christian
life since the arrival of Rev. MIR. Miyama.
A man of rare natural abilities, of in
tense personal devOtedness, converted
in San Francisco about ten years ago,
he has come to be power for righteous
ness among the increasing numbers of
his cOuntrymen in this city. Among
the Japanese Christians there gradually
developed desire and purpose to do
ization of their countrymen in these
islands. They raised a sum OF money
sufficient to send Mr.. Miyama to Homo
lulu. With Mr.. f. w. Damon he made
tour among the other islands, arousing
deep interest wherever he went. Obliged
to return to San Francisco, he received
an urgent invitation to come back, even
if he could spend but short time here.
In complying with that invitation from
his own people, Mr.. Irwin offering to
pay all expenses for six months visit,
Mr.. Miyama returned to the islands. A
deeper interest in Christian hopes and
duties has been the result. While not
confined to the Consulate and it's at
taches and inmates, but reaching all
classes of japanese, the incidents of the
work have been most satisfactory in con-
nection with the gradual conversion of
every person belonging to the Consulate
without single exception. Rev. Mr..
Harris, of the Japanese Mission in San
Francisco, has come to Honolulu speci-
ally to make arrangements for the fur
Their organization of this mission to the
Japanese, beg un by the japanese, and
to be carried on by Japanese workers
here. c. NJ. HYDE.

above sort would naturally be undertaken
by a municipal Government, if we had
one, but that useful public improvement
does not seem to be forthcoming this
session, and we do not want to wait for
the Punchbowl read. We would by no
means be understood to imply that the ex-
penditure is not a proper one for the gen
eral Government, for the beautifying OF
the capital city is something IN which
the whole country has an interest, but
we do think the citizens of Honolulu
would very gladly undertake it if they
were properly organized. municipal
government is such a very dangerous
affair-it is capable of being such a
thorough curse as we'll as blessing, that
it is no miracle no one finds the courage
to attack and solve the problem for US.
Can there be a better time than the
present when the respectable personnel
of the Legislature furnishes some guar
antee that a municipal government or
ganized now might prove of the right
sort.
