OTHER POINTS IN THE MESSAGE.

This fifth annual message of Governor Hills
is marked by the characteristics which distin-
guished its predecessors. The miserable dis
play Of pait ,ahship, the fine speeches for the
galleries, the bid for the votes Of class, re-
ieved by some sensible suggestions, all are
here. The familiar recommendations are re-
heated. reinforced by few new ones, and as
usual the canals are entirely ignored
After devotng short hut satisfactory para
graph to the finances of the State the Governor
proceeds to wax piously eloquent on the sub
ject of bribery at elections. Ignoring the fact
that State document is not stump speech, he
gives the Legislature to understand that one
must go outside the ranks Of the Democracy
to come upon this sin Mr.. Hill, as he is fond
of boasting is q Democrat Nobody better
than he knows that tho Democracy steadily

than over the baptism OF royal infant at
Windsor. He is the chief guest of the occa-
sion, and would not, OF course, undertake to
prescribe the manner in which it shall be con-
Quoted any more than he would dictate the
bill of fare of dinner to which he might be
invited 1t is not his entertainment. 1t is
given by the people of Washington, and in
general way by the people of the country at
large, to commemorate his induction into office.
II is the way society takes Of presenting its
congratulations, and the only way it has of do
ing So The ceremony of Inauguration at the
Capitol is official. The receptions of the after
noon are popular. The ball of the evening is
the opportunity for society, which plays so I'M
portant part in the life of the capital to de-
clare its allegiance TO the new President. IL
is easy to see that he is not in position TO
command or even suggest that there snail De
no dancing. President Hayes did not set VINE
upon his own table, but he never went so lar
as to insist that other people should DANISH
wine from their tables also. General Harrison
need not dance. but he can hardly insist that
others shall not do so.
The Inauguration Ball comes down to us
from the days of Washington, and it cannot be
seen that it has done much damage to manners
or morals it is the custom in all civilized
countries to indulge in festivities of some sort
upon the accession of a new ruler, and con-
sidcred in comparison with the magnitude of
the event it celebrates, the Inauguration Ball
becomes n simple affair No one familiar with
such occasions ever thought, probably, of re-
garding them as demoralizing. Still more
amusing is the objection that the precedent is
borrowed from monarchical countries There
is no politics in dancing or the human desire
to have a good time. Women of republican
sentiments are quite as willing to wear hne
gowns, to sec and be seen, as women who are
still loyal to sovereigns. The principal char
acteiistic of an Inauguration Ball is most GER
tainIy net an extravaganza Of luxury and splen-
dor such as may be expected to turn the heads
Of susceptible persons, but on the contrary an
unmistakable crudeness. Washington, though
it is fast becoming one Of the most delightful
capitals in the world, is not great city. The
ball is usually held either in temporary build
ing or in one not constructed with such pur-
pose in view An air of improvisation sur
rounds the affair." The price of tickets IS not
high and the result is democratic assemblage
in which persons of all social ranks take part.
There is no more disorder than is to be seen
in other large gatherings, perhaps not as much.
The fact is, we are inclined to believe the In
auguration Ball is usually very mild affair,
and we doubt if any harm would come to tho
morals Of the Nation even if President llar-
rison should follow Washington's example, and
should dance a stately measure.

Tn a world where there are so many real evils
to tight it is a little amusing to see numbe. OF
cergymen making great pothcr over the I'M
moral character of the Inauguration Ball. II
these well-mcaning men do not believe dancing
10 be a proper diversion they have right to
refrain from it, and to use their influence
against it. There are great numbers Of Chris
tian men and women who regard it as an limo
cont amusement. and who find abundant war
rant for the indulgence in Scripture. 1t IS
matter about which there is wide difference
Of opinion. with the majority, doubtless, on the
side Of the dancers. If General Harrison holds
to the former view il is not likely that he will
dance when he goes to the Inauguration Bal.
But this, apparently, will not satisfy these
clergymen. They either want the ball given
up or want him to remain away from iestivity
organized in honor of his Inauguration, simply
because a number OF the guests will indulge
IN an amusement which to them is perfectly
unobiectonabe. but of which it may be that
he does not approve. This is very cXtray;s-
CANT demand The compulsion which is pro-
posed would be churlish and yet entirely in
effectual There will be dancing at the In
auguration Ball even if General Harrison
should shut himself up in the White House.
1t is difficult to see why General Harrison
should be brought into the matter at all. lie
has no more control over the Inauguration Bal

Several readers of The Tribune have asked OF
IL lately how it is that the splendid results Cd
tined on the trial trips Of merchant and navai
steam vessels cannot be realized at sea. III the
results arc traced it will be found that the triai
trips are short the most skilful firemen are en-
ployed and the best of coal is selected for the
trip The fircmcn in the regular crew are naturally
less slzilful, and the other conditions are less
favorable 1t is not the captain nor the deck
officers who deserve the credit for fast steamlng
il is the engineer who knows how to manage his
iremen, how the fires should be kept, how much
water to carry in the boilers and how to use the
steam to get the best results that really makes
the ship go fast or slow
