THE BEAUTIFUL QUEEN
An Excellent Performance of ssFsther
at James NJ. K. Church.

An Excellent Performance of 'fFsther"
at James NJ. K. Church.
The cantata of esther, the Beautiful
Queen" was presented last evening in
the lecture room Of James M. f. hurch,
corner of Summit avenue and Bowers
street, by the young people Of b church,
under the direction OF profs. Campbell
and Seely.
The small stage and low ceiling were
much against the singers, but the can
tata was successfully rendered and the
ciforuses of Persians, Jews and Median
maidens were more than c~reditably sus-
tanned.
Miss Bertha II. LOwndes, organist, and
Prof. G. H. Campbell were the accom-
panists. The participants in the cantata
appeared in Oriental costumes, present
ing a series of pleasing pictures. Miss
Victoria A. kalph made a decided hit as
Queen Esther. Both unsteady and
dramatically her work was excellent. All
the roles were well sustained, but MI.
William III. Johnston deserves special
mention for his Mordecai. The cast was
as follows;-

The Catastrophe at Apia.

The very complete and interesting re-
port publish by the HERALD yesterday
of the disastrous events at Apia, enabled
our readers to clearly realize the tremen-
dous power for destruction of South
Pacific ocean hurricane. The great ships
were lifted like straws and smashed into
splinters upon the reefs. The wonder
is not that any of our vessels
failed to make their way out
of the harbor against the tremendous
hurricane, but that they lived at all in
the small port in which they were hurtled
against each other during the driftings
of that terrible night. Whilst the death
list was fearfully great, yet when one
reads the detailed account of that fright
full storm the amazement is that
anybody escaped. 1t is probable
that there will be Court of Inquiry
held at Washington in reference to the
disaster, and that among the serious
questions that will come up before it will
be, why the vessels were kept in dan
gerous, reef-bound hsrbor when the
barometer had been falling for several
days and giving indubitable signs of the
coming hurricane? 1t will be seen
by dispatch to-day that Admiral
Kimberly ascribes the loss of the Tren-
ton indirectly to the mal-piacement OF
the hawser pipes, which let in the water,
flooded the berth deck and put the fires
out in the engine room. This defect in
the construction had been frequently re-
ported to the government officials, but
nothing was done. 1t seems that there
was no lack of coal in the steamers, but
that the engines of our vessels were moi
strong enough to successfully steam ouI
of the harbor as the Calliope did.
The Associated Press has accomplished
a very notable piece of news enterprise
in giving us so detailed, complete and
satisfactory reports from the scene OF the
great disaster in advance OF all other
agencies. Almost two months ago, when
Samoan affairs were looming into i'm
portance, the Associated Press
agent in San Francisco, Mr.. Charles
S. Diehl, had the foresight to send 9
special reporter to Apia. John P. Dun
ming, very bright young journalist. was
selected for the responsible mission, and
the HERALD's telegraph columns bear
testimony to the very efficient manner
in which he has filed it.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-04-15

In THE local columns of the HERALD a
citizen of Los Angeles makes strong
plea for good drives about this city. He
is echoing refrain upon which this
journal has time and time again rung all
the possible changes. There is posi-
lively nothing which would, after big
frst-class hotel, so add to our attractions
as several good boulevards, and notable
amongst these would be one to Santa
Monica and another to Pasadena. A
new influence has been introduced into
the development of Los Angeles county
In the persons of Captains Ainsworth
and Thompson, and their Identification
with Inglewood and Redondo Beach.
The Herald has it upon the best au-
thority that q boulevard is on the tapis
for this new seaside resort. We ought
long ago to have had half dozen of
them radiating to the different seaside
and interior resorts, but better late than
never.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-04-15

Hon. JEREMIAH LYNCH, a Democrat
and ex-State Senator, has published a
pamphlet upon Buckley and bossism.
He charges that Buckley's avarice is in
satiable, and that he has got immensely
rich in few years by controlling the poll.
tics of San Francisco. He declares that he
dictates who shall fill the Offices and re-
ceives portion OF the salaries Of very
large percentage of the officials
of that city. If Mr.. Lynch's
charges are true, it is high time
that Buckley's reign should be brought
to an end. The Examiner publishes
Lynch's pamphlet and admits the truth
of his charges in the main, but apollo.
gizes for the existence of Buckley and
the success OF his methods on the ground
that the depraved conditions existing in
that city produce and render possible
Buckley in one party and Higgins in the
other. That paper seems to be satisfied
with the declaration that "a community
that is plundered, degraded and put to
shame by a political freebooter deserves
Just that fate, for it brings it on ITSELF"
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-04-15

THE Omaha Herald has undertaken to
give the motives which governed Presi-
dent Harrison in the formation of his
cabinet. According to this vivacious
Democratic journal, James g. Blaine was
appoiated Secretary Of State bee ause the
President couldn't help it. This is as
true as trivet, with the addition, prob
ably, of little gratitude, as Blaine both
nominated and elected him. Wana-
maker was appointed for value received
meaning the famous $400, 900 corruption
fund. The appointment of Walker
Blaine was nepotism, pure and simple.
William Window was appointed Secre-
tary of the Treasury and Whitelaw Reid
Minister to France because Blaine de-
sired their appointment. Our Omaha
contempora ry would doubtless have as
signed the same reason for Patrick
Egan's appointment as Minister TO Chile
if its article had been written at a later
date. S. F. Clarkson was appointed
for his offensive partisanship. Redfeld
Proctor, jeremiah Rusk and J. w. Noble
we're assigned to the Cabinet for what
reasons the Omaha paper dismisses un-
der the category, "God only knows" W.
II. 81. Miller and John G. New were ap-
pointed for friendships sake, while Fred
erick Grant got the Austrian Mission on
his fathers reputation. The Herald
would probably have given the same
reason for the selection of Robert Lincoln
as Minister to the Court of st James.
These are the genial rather than GEN.
serious comments on Harrison's exercise
of the appointing power as far as he has
gone by Western newspaper. The New
York World, on the other hand, has dis
covered that the Dudleys and Dorseys,
the Kerenses and Elkinses, have supreme
influence with the new administration.
showing that the Star Route manipu-
lators were scotched, not killed, by the
storm of indignation which convulsed
the country some years ago. Were
it not for the presence of Blaine in the
cabinet this would probably be happy
go-lucky administration, without much
promise for good or evil. But Blaine is
at the head of things, has shaped them
thus far and is determined to shape them
to the end. He will control the whole
scope of Harrison's policy, and he will
do it so adroitly that the President will
not know that he is playing second fiddle
in an orchestra led by a most powerful
maestro. The only thing clearly discern.
able about the new Republican regime is
the fact that its policy, appointments and
general trend bear the unmistakable ear
marks of the Plumed knight. No one
can forecast where he will lead it, and
yet it is certain that from the moment he
ceases to control the President he would
disdain to be member of his cabinet.
Probably Andrew Carnegie and William
Walter Phelps, Blaine's familiars, could
tell more of the future policy of the ad-
ministration than any two living men.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-04-15

THE Republican press has Of late
largely devoted itself to steady vilifica-
tion Of Governor Hill. AS long as Samuel
+. Tilden Was alive, the controllers of
these puissant sheets had nothing to say
about anybody but the sage OF Gramercy
Park. They devoted all their efforts to
showing him up as felon and close
approach to horse-thief They did this
because they knew that he was an ex-
ceptionally respectable man, and that it
would be utterly impossible to beat him
before the people. They are pursuing
now precisely the same tactics with re-
gard to the present great Governor of
New York. OF one thing any man in
doubt about the matter may be assured,
and that is that political journals rarely
waste their powder on dead ducks. If
Governor Hill had been the Democratic
nominee last year, he would
have carried New York, Indiana, and
| in all probability California, Illinois
and Ohio. Every effort of the Republi-
can press from now till 1892 will bs de-
voted to rersuading the Democratic
party that it would be fatal mistake to
nominate David Bennett Hill for Presi-
dent. We are inclined to think that
these well-meant efforts will be in vain.
The sentiment in his favor bids fair to
be cyclone by the time the next Demo
cratic National Convention is held.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-04-15

Why is it that in every new official
crookedness that is uncovered in Wash
ington Territory, Herbert Beecher ap-
pears as a prime factor? The United
States Grand Jury that has just been
investigating the opium-smuggling cases
found eleven indictments against
Beecher. He first appeared upon the
ecene of official crookedness in connec-
ton with the admittance of Chinese into
the Territory on fraudulent certificates.
If Herbert is the victim of persecution,
he has become a very persistent and
shining mark.
