THE MASQUERADE BALL.

About twenty complies in masks
participated in the masquerade BALI
at the armory yesterday evening.
Although there was not large at
tendance of onlookers, yet all pres
ent seemed to enjoy the larks of the
antiques. The costumes were in
conformity with the characters as
sumed by the wearers, and in several
instances were quite novel and inter-
esting. Miss Kate Woodward wore
a dress on which were printed the
names Of all the Honolulu papers,
including, of course, the "Ka Leo"
A young lady as Baby" with
nursing bottle, was very nicely got
up, as were also George and Martha
Washington, and Barefooted Bill.
Almost every nationality was repre-
sented, and even the governor gen
era of the dark regions of Hades.
The dancing by Mrs. Gray's dane
ing class was unique and pretty.
Mrs. f. Gray performed on the
piano and was assisted by a string
band, playing delightful music.
Shortly after 10 o clock the masquer-
aders unmasked and all present were
welcomed to the dance. After the
dance refreshments in the shape of
ice cream, cake, sandwiches and
other delicious edibles were served,
furnished by the Elite Ice Cream
Parlors. Everyone went away per-
fectly satisfied with the evenings en-
jOyment, and thanking those who had

THE COMING ORANGE CROP OF
OAHU.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-
| would thank you for your very
appreciative notice Of my letter to
the Advertiser about Orange Culture
in Eva. May avail myself of The
hospitality of your columns to push
this subject further before the pub
lie. No doubt it requires some ina
gination to conceive of the unprO-
ductive canyons of Eva, depastured
and denuded as they have been by
cattle for fifty years, converted into
beautiful orange orchards, employing
thousands of resident laborers, and
furnishing hundreds of thousands Of
boxes of golden fruit to the North
west coast And yet it seems to me
one of the most probable and natural
of coming events. 1t is certainly
far easier to expect than fifteen years
ago to have supposed that the almost
desert plain of Honolulu would in
1891 he covered with nearly a thou
sand acres Of the longest and heaviest
OF sugar cane, or to have expected
thirty years ago that the great
southern wastes of California would
now be teeming with orange orchards.
Oranges have always been more Or
less at home in the Eva valleys.
Here and there are old, neglected
trees, still producing fruit of fair,
often of excellent quality. OF the
practicability of raising the best of
oranges, in the greatest profusion,
throughout the valley bottoms of the
district named, there is no possible
doubt, assuming that ordinary energy
and skill are applied to the business.
As to the market, that is a certain
one, in Oregon, Washington, British
Columbia, and the interior districts.

POLITICAL PLATFORMS.

Within recent years there have
been strong pleas put forth in advo-
cacy of party government in Hawaii.
There is certainly material out Of
which to form parties with different
sets of views in this country. AS 1t
takes all sorts Of people to make a
world, 80 it takes quite a variety of
human beings to make nation. The
variety we certainly have here
various races, various conditions,
various stamps from heredity, various
products of diversified forms of gov
eminent; not to mention men differ
entiated by birth, by training, by
diverse experiences of the world, by
the influence Of what is called
luck, and thousand other centripetal
influences common to all countries.
Where there are so many especial
points of diversity as exist in the
body polite of this country, the
difficulty of procuring satisfactory
government by party lies not in find.
ing lines ON which to divide, but in
discovering common ground upon
which factions may merge themselves
into cohesive parties without sacrifice
of broad principles of national policy.
To attain to such happy result each
component part of such a party must
agree TO sink pet objects of its own
desire and insist only upon what can
be made common basis of unifca-
ton. Probably the goal aspired 10
by every party worthy the name or
the aim of national factor is 10
develop such invincible principles of
state policy as will leave little to be
decided by the peoples suffrages ex-
cepting as to what men shall be
selected to effect measures in con-
sonance with the party's platform.
When party is formed with such
a goal as that stated in view, Its
adherents who stick to it through
thick and thin, so long as it main
tains the character Of pursuing so
high an ideal, must be credited on
that account with high civic virtue.
Horace Greeley, in his Estimate of
Lincoln" published for the first time
in the Century Magazine for July,
after describing the remarkable hold
Lincoln had on the State of Illinois,
. State that had tolerated none other
of his politics, asks: "What was it,
in State so large as Illinois, and
party that was justly proud of its
Browning, its Yates, its Davis, it's
Washburne, and others, gave HIM
this unquestioned ascendancy?" To
which the great journalist answers:
" / would say, first, his unhesitating,
uncalculating, self-sacrificing devo-
tion TO the principles and the aims of
his party" 1t was not Lincoln's de-
votion to the mere name of his party,
but to the principles and aims"
that gave the party its right and title
TO be, which made him revered in his
State. The name OF party of itself
is only a miserable fetch, such as
Herbert Spencer describes in one of
his pungent essays. There is nothing
in it, except bait to hold fools to
the hook of species of slavery. !

Money Behind Briggs.
N Y Sunl


Tie directors of the Union Theological
Seminary who arc standing behind Dr.
Briggs, Include some of the richest men
in the Presbyterian Church, men who are
distinguished also for the muniticcnce OF
their contributions for the building up OF
all its enterprises. Since 1870 they have
given the vast sum of 100000 to that
school itself, making it probably the most
richly endowed institution of the sort in
this country. The venerable Mr.. Charles
Butler has only recently endowed the
chair occupied by Dir. Briggs with 800
600; and tits remarkable that as the the
ologv of the seminary has grown more
liberal and further away from Protestant
orthodoxy, the stronger has been IFS sup
port by Presbyterian wealth.
This is very remarkable situation.
Dr.. Briggs practically gives up the old
theory of the inspiration of the Bible,
scouts it, rdicules it, and is doing his ut
most to explode it utterly, and yet the
greatest wealth and very much of the
highest intelligence and social influence
of New York Prcsbytcriansm are ranged
on his sidc SO powerful is this backing
that Mr.. Day warns the Presbyterians,
who arc attacking DR.. Briggs as Il hereto,
and trying to drive him from the semi
nary and the Church, that they are en-
dangering the religious enterprises of the
denomination "If this Liberal spirit is
pursued toward the Union Seminary and
its professors and those who sympathizc
with them, dare to prophesy," declares
Mr.. Day, chat the first marked result will
be that all the great Boards of the Church
will be crippled in their means

An Interesting Hotel Case.
(Springtield (IIl) Moni,or.)


The decision of the Circuit Court in the
locally contested case of Sundermacher
agt. rs. Block has been reversed by the APP
pellate Court. 1t will be remembered that
the plaintiff in this suit, together with an
other gentleman from MurpAysboro, were
arrested for having refused to pay the
regular rate per day for board at the. Ho.
tel Palace. Their refusal was based on
the ground that they had not taken al the
meals during the time they were register
ed. They had been served with n card
stating that these meals would be charged
to them, and the lower court took the
ground that the fact that they agreed to
remain at the hotel after being served with
this notice made them liable. This, the
Appellate Court says, is erroneous. II
holds that the serving Of these cards does
not constitute It legal contract, and that
there is nothing in the Inkecper's aci
under which Sun dermachcr was arrested
to compel guest at hotel to pay for
awht ne did not receive.

TAKE FOOD BEFORE SLEEP.
Why Some People Are Benefited BY "
Night Lunch.
Medical journal.

Some persons, though not actually sick

during The long interval between supper
and breakfast, and especially the complete
emptiness Of the stomach during sleep
adds greatly to the amount Of cmaciation

so often meet.
Physiology teaches that in the body
there is perpetual disintcgration Of It's

logical to believe that the supply of nou-
risIlment should be somewhat continuous

diminished while digestion, assimilation
and nutritive activity continue as usual
the food furnished during this period adds
more than is destroyed, and increased
weight and improved general vigor are
the result.
All beings except man arc governed by
natural instinct, and every being with a
stomach except man eats before sleep
and even the human infant, guided by the
same instinct, drinks frequently day and
night, and if its stomach is empty fol
any prolonged period it cries long and
loud.
Digestion requires no interval Of rest
and if the amount of food during the
twcnty-four hours is, in quantity and
quality, not beyond the physiological limit
it makes no hurtfnl difference to tho
stomach how few or how short are the in
tervals between eating, bnt it does make
vast difference in the weak and cmaciat-
cd ones welfare to have modicum Of
food in the stomach during the time OF
sleep, that, instead Of being consumed by
bodily action, it may during the interval

Rascally Pension Agents.

The condition to which the pension
business has come is Illustrated by the
following extract from the circular which
is sent out by Il Boston pension agent:
"If your pension is less than $l2 per
month, and You have any disease or disa-
bility that you are not pensoned for, you
can probably get SIP per month, 10 mat
ter whether it was received or contracted
before you enlisted or since yon were dis
charged" The shamelessness with which
pensions have been claimed-and gener-
ally received-for troubles which were in
no possible way connected with the SER
vice is one of the most disgusting and
disgraccful scandals which, ever smirehed
the fair fame Of this country; and the
worst of the matter is that precisely the
high-minded, courageous and self-sacri-
fcing veterans are those who are most
unwilling to go into the indecent and
often dishonored scramble after the pub
lie money. As for the agents who lend
themselves to this sort of thing, perhaps
the best thing for them would be the
horse pond.

at was the literal and artificial hand

take stand in defense of this principle.
1t seems hard thing to acccpt-how a
man can admit the existence of historical
and scientific errors in the Bible and still
hold to the Scriptures as the infallible,
inspired word of God on all matters OF
faith and practice The errors are there,
and those who see them may also accept
the Bible as divine There is no motive
on the part of Biblical students for bring
ing these errors forward. would almost
give my right hand to be able to say that
there we're no errors in the Bible.
ut has been said that there are many
learned men who deny these errors; WHO
say that what have been picked out as
errors have been subsequently, shown to
have been no errors at ali. But it is not
difficult to see whatemOtive these learned
men have for taking this position, or by
what haphazard method of cxegests they
disprove the existence of errors. The
editor of the leading Baptist paper, The
Examiner, told me day that no Baptist
was called on to believe in the absolute
accuracy of the Bible on matters OF his
tory and science. (Applausc.) | asked
