Bunting Is Never Wasted.

The question, "What is to become Of
all this bunting?" has been asked re-
peatedly the past few weeks by persons
who appreciate the fact that never be-
fore has there been such profusion Of
decorative display in this great metropo-
lis. A professional decorator answered
it thus: "Waal, yer see that this ERE is
only the beginnin of these Columbus
celebrations, and there'll be plenty of
demand fer these flags and things in the
next six months. Most all of this stuff
which is not private property is already
engaged. and it will be shipped to differ
ent parts of the country. L. you will go
over on the east side, where most of the
people did their own decoratin, you will
find men goin about buying up the bun
tin and the shields as cheap as they can.
It'll come in handy in decoratin build

Guests Loot a Marquee.

A singular scene, resulting in the de-
struction by a crowd of 1000 people of a
marquee and the looting of provisions,
took place at Ramsey, Huntingdonshire,
on Thursday evening. A grand fete had
been arranged by Lord de Ramsey to
celebrate the return of the Hon. Ailwyn
Fellowes, NJ P, for North Hunts.
About 4, 900 persons had been invited, in
relays of 1000 at time, to a tea, which
was arranged in marquee in the
grounds.
A shower of rain made the crowd
rush for shelter to the marquee, which
was already full. A scene of indie.
scribable confusion ensued. The crowd
made an attack upon the provisions
walters were knocked down and a clean
sweep made of the tables, much of the
crockery being destroyed. The caterer
cutting off the supplies, the mob pro
ceeded to the store and wrecked it, de-
molishing the provisions. A body of pc
lice attempted to disperse the rioters
but only partially succeeded. Lord and
Lady de Ramsey witnessed the scene
from the balcony of the abbey.-Lon

Illustrating the injustices and incon-
slstencies that this Act has opened
the door to, but sufficient have been
mentioned to satisfy any fair mind
that the Act ought never to be-
come operative, by being vetoed by
the sovereign. Another feature
also presents itself which is the
value of the veto clause in the Con-
stitution, it certainly is very desir-
able that this power should be very
sparingly exercised; but if it were
not for this power vested in the
sovereign, what guarantee would
the people have from such mis-
application of prerogatives as illus
trated by the passage of this Act.
The four Ministers having voted
against the passage of the Act, it
is to be hoped that they will advise
the Sovereign to veto the same and
save the country the humiliation
of being saddled by such a statute.

A New Society Leader

When James j. Corbett was hammer
ing John L. Sullivan in the ring at New
Orleans, and in the expressive language
OF sporting men making a monkey out
of him." Ward McAllister, who had
abandoned all his social duties for that
evening, was sitting in telegraph office
at Newport reading bulletins and ex-
periencing the most exquisite excite
ment.
Would Ward McAllister have done
this If it were not the proper thing to
dor And if it is the proper thing to do,
haven't all of us who are in society got
to do it, and do it hammer and tongs,
while the craze lasts?
The bruisers and the nose breakers
are the coming society men. Every sign
points that way. Society has been aching
for them for ten years, but it could never
see how it was possible to take them up
without recognizing their leader, Mr..
Sullivan, and there were some insuper-
able objections to his eccentricities of
manner. The first and the last time he
was invited into society he had an argu-
meut with his host and pasted him
in the jaw with his right. then kicking
the table and everything on it into
smithereens.
Now that the pugilists have leader
of refinement in the person of Gentle
man Jim," the doors of society will
gradually open to them. Mr.. Corbett is
sample of physical perfection and a
gentleman at heart. His future on the
stage will be devoted to the performance
of society dramas, but it will be in swell
society itself that he will shine most. He
has always moved in good circles. His
movements in one circle-the prize ring
have invariably been of the most sue
cessful sort. Why cannot he enter So
ciety and elevate it as he has elevated
the prize ring?-New York Herald.

doubt having been expressed as to
whether the bacillus which proved so

fessor in specially constructed cages for

satisfactory, he will visit Scotland to

Union is STRENGTH.

Mr.. EDITOR: 'Fe, Fl, 70, fun, 1
smell the blood of an Englishman p'
Your correspondent american"
seems to have made this grand dis
covery in the person of Mr.. Will
liams, Editor of the San Francisco
Examiner, and while giving this
individual drubbing, takes the
opportunity to roast up English
men in general.
When your correspondent insin-
yates that these "ear marks" etc.,
are the general characteristics of
the English, we think him a little
off, and would also remind him
that strong prejudice is not always
an evidence of good judgment; but
while We admit that his censure is
just in regard to a few individual
cases, it is unjust to Englishmen
in general. Shakespeare says that
England never was or ever will
lie at the feet of conqueror," and
she is as great in other respects
and as much honored and respect
ed as is America or any other ma
ton of the world. England has
ever been in the front ranks of
progress, and has done more for
liberty and civilization than per-
haps any other nation of the earth,
and it is to her that America owes
her noble aspirations of liberty as
we'll as her great progress, pros
perity and renown.
/ also believe that between these
two great nations there exists a
mutual esteem and regard which
brings them closer as years go by,
and will eventually bring them
and all the English speaking ma
tons of the earth into one grand
confederation which shall last for
all time, and its influence for good
shall extend to every part of the
earth. MEN in faith and hope may
disagree, but all mankind's con-
Germ is charity" In this little
Kingdom we would do well to for
get all race prejudices and stand
united together, ''for in union there
is strength"

Popular Government.

Mr.. EDITOR: Ever since 1887
Hawaii has been gradually espous-
ing the cause of popular govern
ment; the right of the people to
rule through their representatives
is being acknowledged step by
step, and Hawaii may ere long
boast as representative a form of
government as can be found any
where. In view of these facts,
would it not be well for those who
are elected by the people to repre-
sent them to be extremely cautious
and circumspect in their conduct
while acting as such representa-
tives, avoiding as much as posi-
BILE open defiance of the wishes of
the people, and in combining them
selves strictly to Legislative acts,
without trenching on the preroga-
tives of the executive, which is of
the legislators of Hawaii, a very
glaring example of which has just
transpired in the passage of an
Act regulating the working hours
of Government employees, which
requires that all Government Off
GERS shall commence their duties
at 8 A. NJ, and the offices to remain
open till 4 80 P. NJ, and goes on to
regulate how long a vacation each
clerk shall be allowed, (which, l
believe, is limited to two weeks at
a time,) ETC., etc. In the first
place, this Act is, 1 think, clearly
an interference on the part of the
Legislature with the Executive,
which should be discountenanced.
In the second place, it will have
the effect of creating friction and
irritation, elements which should
be carefully guarded against, in
stead of provoked. which this Act
is admirably calculated to do.
If the country is so deplete of
competent material to fill the Elk
ecutive branch of the Government
without the interference or assist
ance of the Legislature, it may be
truly said that Hawaii has reached
point from which even this last
great effort of the Legislature can
not save her. The conduct of the
Legislature cannot be too strongly
criticized in this matter; while at
tempting to squeeze an hour and 6
half's more work out of employee;
it opens the door to innumerable
abuses, as for instance, what is
there to compel the clerks of the
Post Office or the guards of tht
Custom House to work aftel
the hours set by this Act
and how about the overtime which
is constantly being put in b.
clerks in all the Departments whel
occasion requires it. 1t is a wei
recognized fact that it is a poo
rule that does not work both ways
and if the Legislature sees fit t
regulate the working hours of tn
employees of the Government AM
attach a fixed salary thereto, tn
employees will have a right to re
fuse to work after such fixed hour
without being compensated there
fore. Of course the well-knowl
working of oppression may b
brought to bear, and the poor cler
who refuses to work overtime @
asks for remuneration for the same
may be told to either do as ordere
or give up his bread and butte
and what good would quo wa
