The Centennial Ball-A Disgrace
to the Nation

to the Nation
The New York World publishes the
particulars of the great ball attended
by President Harrison and wife, mem
bars of the Cabinet, Vice-President
Morton, Ez-President Cleveland and
other high dignataries Tt was a most
disgraceful affair. There was no
order, no system, and the amount of
drunkenness and hoggishness was
appalling. The Herald says: Jus
tees of the Supreme Court, Cover
nors, staff officers, club men. lawyers
poets, millionaires with beautiful and
refined women, crowded bIanIly along
the supper counter and demanded in
vain the attention they were accus-
toned to receive. The excellent sup
per was largely wasted. There was
no responsibility for anything to any
body. Drunken men invaded the ball
room, fourishing bubbling bottles Of
champagne. In the corridors free
fights were of constant occurrence.
Gamblers, book-makers and women
dozed or made merry on the stair
cases. A prominent gentleman talk
ing of the affair said: I was unable
to find my hat or overcoat. I left at
3 O'Clock. Two of the checkers in the
cloak room were drunk. Ofthe ladies,
ones dress was ruined by a plate Of
salad thrown over it by a drunken
brute, and the shoulder of another
was cut from a bottle which a strang-
er had broken upon it. I saw more
respectable women insulted in the
supper room than I ever saw accOst-
ed at the French bail. I knocked
down man who tried to kiss the
daughter of a leading lawyer. Hun
dreds Of bottles of wine were passed
out of doors and sold by walters and
others. One man was drunk, fell
down stairs and was so badly hurt he
had to be carried off in an ambulance
Many flags and potted plants were
stolen and some Of the boxes were
shockngly soiled after their first oc-
cupants had left The supper room
was cleared by clubs shortly after
o'clock, The lights were turned out
in the ball room long before the
crowd had left the building"
Other accounts say that drunken
men offered lily concealed insults tx
ladies and in some cases policemen
had to interfere to protect women
The whole affair was a deep disgrace
to the Nation. AIarge snm Of none!

been better spent if given to the poo

The fact which strikes everyone
who keeps track of the current news
paper literature Of the times is that
the good and bad are running a neck
and neck race for the prize of human
ity. Suicides, divorces, murders,
thefts and like crimes are reported
from all parts and places. There
seems to be a reign of terror owing
to the prevalence of these and other
crimes. Timid people almost SILVER
in their shoes to read of them and
think the world must certainly be
growing worse and worse. In the
good old days of long ago they think
there were no such dreadful things
going on in the world They sigh
for the days when men were honest
and women pure. But those days
never were, they exist not now and
never did except in the fancy of those
who hope they did really exist some
time though they may not know
when It is mistaken view of
things. There is evil in the world
now and there always has been, but
there is less of it now than ever, be-
cause evil ever where feels the check
of the good The papers are full Of
all sorts of enterprises and associa-
tions and unions which have for their
object the holding In check of the
evil tendencies or reforming the evil
motives and thoughts Of men. There
is scarcely an evil thing under the
sun that has not It's counteracting

Nawsnaner Mems Trials.

One of the great trials of the news
paper profession is that its members
are compelled to see more Of the
sham of the world than other profes-
sions. Though every newspaper Of
fee, day after day, go all the weak
ness Of the world all the vanities
that want to be pulled, all the mis-
takes that want to be corrected, all
the dull speakers that want to be
thought eloquent, all the meanness
that wants to get its wares noticed
gratis IN the educational column, all
the men who want to get right who
never were right, all the crack-brain-
ed philosophers with stories as long
as their hair and as their finger nails
in mourning because bereft of soap
all the bores who come to stay five
minutes, but talk five hours. And
through the editorial and reportiaI
rooms all the folIies and shams Of the
world are seen, day after day and the
temptation is to believe neither God,
man or woman. It's no surprise to
me that in this profession there are
some skeptica1 men: only wonder
that newspaper men believe anything.

Mary had a little lamb, It's fleece
was white as snow, it strayed away
one summer day, where lambs should

Mary had a brother John, who kept
a village store, and he sat down and
smoked a pipe and watched the open
door. And all the people passed
along, but did not stop to buy. John

John Wesley on Demonical Pos
sessions.
In England the same warfare went
on. John Locke had asserted the
truth, but the theological view contin-
ued to control public opinion. Most
prominent among those who exercised
great power against the truth was
John Wesley, and the greatness and
beauty of his character made his in
fiuence in this respect all the more
unfortunate. The same servitude to
the mere letter Of scripture which led
him to declare that ''to give up witch
craft is to give up the bible and to
take ground against the fundamental
truths of theology" controlled him in
regard to insanity. He insisted, on
the authority of the Old Testament,
that bodily diseases are sometimes
caused by devils, and upon authority
of the New Testament, that the gods
of the heather were demons; he be-
lieved that dreams, while in some
cases caused by bodily condition and
passions are shown by scripture to be
also caused by occult powers of evil.
He cites a physician to prove that
''most Iunatlcs are really demoniacs.
In his sermon on Evil Angels, he
dwells upon this point especially; re-
sists the idea that possession may
be epilepsy, even though ordinary
symptoms of epilepsy be present
/ protests against giving up to infdels
i such proofs of an invisible world as
are to be found in diabolic posses
sion" and evidently believes thai
some who have been made hysterica
by his own preaching ARE possessed
of Satan" On ali this, and much
more to the same effect, he insisted
with all the power given to him by
his deep religious nature, his wonder
full familiarity with the scriptures
his natural acumen, and his clio
quence.-Andrelo D. White IN Popu

DEATHS DURING SEPTEMBER.

The Mortuary Report for Septem-
Der is published in another column.
There was total of AZ deaths dur.
ing the month-being only a very
small fraction over the average in
September of the past years. One
noteworthy feature of the death-rate
is that one-seventh of the total
deaths during the last month oc-
CURED through "old age" a fact
which speaks volumes for the sal
ubrity of the climate. There were
nine deaths over the advanced age
of seventy years-eight of these be-
ing native Hawaiians, and one Amer
lean the only death in that national
ity during the month. There was
also only one Briton; but, as usual,
the native mortality was more than
half the total, being twenty-seven
during September. The deaths from
fever were eleven, three of which
were from typhoid. There were four
deaths from accidental causes; and
with the exception of the eleven
deaths from fever, none could be clas-
sed as climatic.
Regarding the eleven deaths from
fever which occurred during the past
month, it might be worth while for
the Board of Health to ascertain the
causes that led to such large NOR
tality from this kind of disease. The
portions of the city or outside of the
city where the victims first were at
tackled, and whether the symptoms
were due to malarial or other causes.
Considerable doubt has arisen in the
public mind regarding dumping of
in places around the city,
cess pools, and other nuisances of
like nature, being favorable to health
in this climate; and some history of
the eleven fatal cases of fever under
notice might or might not have a
satisfactory effect.

with ladders and ropes, and given a
clear field to get at the prison walls,
the complaint of over-strictness will
not be urged against the officers.
There seems good ground for com
plant on the part of the public,
however. The ropes and ladders
were the same as were used in the
last preceding escape. The spot
where the three prisoners went over
the wall was only seventy feet from
where their predecessors took their
leave. When the tools that assisted
one party to escape were left in easy
reach of the next man who was tired
of prison fare, it looks as though the
Deputy Warden trusted more to the
attractions of San Quentin and the
good-humor of the prisoners than to
such vulgar restraining influences as
walls, bolts and guards.
It would be we'll to have a few
precautions observed to prevent en-
nuied prisoners from leaving the Jail
bare of inmates"

FREE TRADE, BUT NOT ANNEXATION.

The ministerial statement, signed
by Mr.. Jona Austin, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, and published in our
paper of the 5th inst, has probably
been read by every one interested in
the question discussed. After refer
ring to the approaching termination
of the reciprocity treaty of 1876, and
the evil effects of an uncertainty
regarding its continuance beyond
the date to which it is limited, when
either party may terminate it by
giving notice, the Ministry say:
I'VE believe it to be the duty of the
Hawaiian Government to endeavor
to secure the placing of our products
upon TIE same basis as American
products in respect of bounties aud
privileges"
The publication of this statement
reveals at once the object which
new treaty must secure-such q
change i'll the status OF this kingdom
as shall entitle its products to any
bounties and privileges given to
American products or American citl-
gems. This can only be brought
about by such political change, as
shall make these islands practically
American soil, which nothing but
annexation can do. The bill which
was brought into Congress provid-
ing bounty on beet, cane or sor-
ghum sugar, expressly provided that
the producer should make oath that
he was an American citizen and that

ESCAPES OF PRISONERS.

Recent escapes of prisoners from
custody at Honolulu, suggest the
idea that improvements could be
made in the manner of keeping the
Oahu Prison convicts secure; and
yet matters are not much, if any,
better at the California state-prison,
as the following from the S. F.
Examiner will show:
''San Quentin appears to be pro-
vided with all the modern convent
ences for the escape of prisoners.
The three convicts who left the
prison on Thursday night could not
have well had things more to their
hand unless the prison officers had
presented them with the keys.
