The INAUGURATION BALI

Once In every four years certain Of the
clergy who are never heard Of between
times outside their own parishes seek a
little pleasant notoriety by making pub
lie declaration through conference or
presbyterial resolution or. as occasion
offers, through the press, that dancing IL
u sinful amusement and should be no
longer made feature Of the Inaugural
tion ceremonies at the white house.
The ball this time was started rolling at
Columbus, Ohio where the local clergy
adopted resolutions condemnatory Of
dancing and calling upon the president
elect 10 omit the customary ball from
the festivities incident to the inauguTa-
tion. The subject was taken up by the
Methodist clergy OF Indianapolis. who
submitted 10 committee Of three the
question whether or no IL would be best
10 make any representation on the sub
ject 10 Gen. Harrison. That doubtless
settles the point. 80 far AS the Indian
apolis clergy are concerned, for IL il not
at all likely any report will be made by
this committee until after March 4.
The ball will take place, the clergy will
be shocked on reading the descriptions Of
the toilets. and the enormity Of the sin
OF dancing will be dwelt upon in a ser
mon or two. after which no further re-.
marks will be made on the subject OF
Inauguration balls until December OF
1892.
1t was perhaps to minds suchas are
embodied in the Columbus and Indian
apolis clerical prudes that Hamlet had
reference when he said: "There Is
nothing either good or bad but thinking
makes il So" The man is TO be pitied IL
he be not blamed who sees evil in
dance where the proprieties are 50 strict
ly defined as in polite society. The sug-
gestion that he interfere 10 put a stop to
Inauguration balls w0nld no more be ELL
