chants have suffered to a considerable and ex-
tremely annoying extent by reason of the ina
bility Of the railroad companies to handle their
growing freight business. Efforts on the part
OF the Norfolk and Western company to extend
its road into the District were frustrated by the
corporations now in possession, although its
coming would relieve the freight situation very
much.
THE JOYS AND SORROWS OF STREET RAILROADS.&C..
Local street railway history for 1892 is inter-
estins. The most important feature was the
completion Of the cable road construction of
the Washington and Georgetown Company,
first operated on August 6, and now being run
successfully from Georgetown to the Navy
Yard and out 14th street to Mount Pleasant.
While the cable road was being laid the Metro
politan company WIS exerting itself to success
fully operate a storage battery system, but the
difficulties have 80 far been SUFFICIENT to pre-
vent the equipping Of more than three or four
cars. In addition to the trouble as to a new
motor, which the law insists shall be provided,
the Metropolitan company is now in the courts
defending itself from legal effort which the
Attorney General is making to annul its charter
rights. a proceeding which originated with
its failure to pay Judgment secured by the
District on an old tax bill. The Washington
and Arlington company did its utmost to OBJ
tain the privilege Of running its tracks over the
Aqueduct bridge, 80 as to connect with one of
the Georgetown roads. but was defeated. In
september the HOOK Creek road was formally
opened for travel and within little while there
will be rapid street car transit to Brightwood
and Takoms Park. The local authorities de-
clared the bridges across Rock creek at NJ street
and street, used respectively by the Washing
ton and Georgetown and Metropolitan COM
panies, to be unsafe, and Congress provided
that the two latter should be immediately re-
paired, one-half Of the expense being shouldered
by the railroad companies. A very determined
effort was made by parties interested in the
trolley system to have it adopted ON some of
the roads within the city, but the effort failed,
% did also an endeayor to make the crowding

Protestant Episcopal cathedral, probably to be
the largest and finest in the United States.
During the year the parish Of st. Stephens and
the Church of the Advent were organized; the
mission chapel Of the Church Of the Epiphany
at 18th and C streets southwest, the chapel Of
Calvary parish at 18th and Madison streets and
the North Capitol Methodist Episcopal Church
were dedicated. The Colored Young Mems
Christian Association entered its new home and
has prospered.
There have been no great revival efforts. but
missionary labors among the poorest and most
degraded classes were unusually active. The
congregation of st. Augustines Catholic Church
was somewhat disturbed over Q proposition
which would have attached st. Augustine's to
St. Matthews parish, but the trouble was
speedily smoothed out. Washington sent o
large delegation to the Christian Endeavor con-
vention in New York. There were but few pas
toral changes: Rev. Arthur E. Rodgers Of Sa-
lem, Mass, accepted call to the Universalist
Church; Rev. Samuel Van Vranken Holmes Of
Richfeld Springs, N. Y, became DR.. Sundsr-
lands associate at the First PresbyteriAn
Church; Rev. George W. Moore preached his
farewell sermon at the Lincoln Memorial Con-
gregational Church, at the close Of ten years
pastorate; Rev. George w. Douglas. rector Of
st. Johns, resigned, and the Rev. T. 8. Childs,
formerly Of the Presbyterian Church, was ad-
mitted to the order OF priesthood in the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church.
Church conventions Of importance were the
fifteenth annual meeting Of the Columbian Asso-
citation Of Baptist Churches; the annual convsn-
ton Of the diocese II Maryland; the eighteenth
annual convention Of the womsn's Christian
Temperance Union, and the meeting Of The

District courts have, as for many years past,
been overcrowded with work. Every justice has
done all that could possibly have been expected
Of him, and yet there are many important
cases that may not receive attention for months,
perhaps years, to come. because Congress will
not do that which 1t ought to do. Justice Mar
tin V. Montgomery and Justice Charles P.
James have resigned, and in their places the
President appointed Louis E. McComas and Dis
trict Attorney c. c. Cole.
Nearly 500 indictments were returned by the
grand juries Of the District during the past
year, covering about every offense known to the
criminal law. OF these indictments probably
not more than half we're finally disposed Of.
Not less than twelve of the indictments were

WAIKIKI.

Since the history of the Hawai-
ian Islands has been pretty well
ventilated of late, and nothing said
of the beauties or minstrelsy of the
country, the following lines from
the pen of Rollin NJ. Daggett, of
Nevada, who was United States
Minister at Honolulu during Presi-
dent Arthur's time, will be of es-
pecial interest, now that there is a
Iull in negotiations. The poem was
first published in the Honolulu
ADVERTISER in 1888, shortly after
the Kalakaua coronation, and re-
ceived the following complimentary
notice from the editor of that paper i:
"Amongst all the poesy which has
been inspired by Hawaiian scenes
or events, we have not met with
anything to equal these pleasing
lines. Indeed, for its music. its
happy expression, and its truly
bard-like thought, we must accord
to this poem a high rank in the
class of minstrelsy to which it be-
longs"

WAIKIKI.

The cocoa, with its crest of spears.
Stands sentry round the crescent
shore,
And algaroba, ID bent with years,
Keeps watch beside the lanai (z)
door.
The cool winds fan the mango's cheek,
The mynah 81 fits from tree to tree,
And zephyrs to the roses speak
Their sweetest words at Waikiki.
Like truant children of the deep
Escaped behind coral wall,
The lisping wavelets laugh and leap,
Nor heed old oceans stern recall.
All day they frolic with the sands,
Kiss pink-lipped shells in wanton
glee,
Make winrows with their patting
hands,
And, singing, sleep at Waikiki.
The closing curtain of the night
Is shading down the gold to gray,
And on the reef the ffaring light
OF brown-armed fisher az, far away.
Dyes red the waves that thunder by
The sturdy bulwarks of the sea,
And, breaking into riplets, die
Upon the breast of Waikiki.
Now come wild echoes through the
air,
And shadow of rugged face,
With iron limbs and shoulders bare
The chieftain OF dusky race (5);
Whose hostile front, with lifted lance,
And war-prows fiecking all the sea,
Swept through the palms with bold
advance
Along the shores of Waikiki.
And all unchecked, in martial course,
By menace or the spear of foe,
The misty columns move in force,
Their chieftain leading as they go.
Up, up! Nuuanu's rocky bed
Till looking down, through clouds
they see
The beetling front of Diamond Head,
And silver sands of Waikiki.
On! on The foe has reached the
And DER the Palrs e. awful side!
With shout and stroke, and battle
surge,
Is poured shrieking human tide!
Then all is still-the work is done,
And thus the shadows come to me,
When twilight clouds, kissed by the
sun,
Have bronzed the shores of Waikiki.
And then, with tropic murmurs blent,
Come distant voices, half divine,
While mingled with the ylangylang's
ca scent
Is breath of sage and mountain
pine;
And from Diablo's Isl vine clad feet,
From desert bleak and green Maui
NEE,
Are waited strains to me as sweet
AS e'er were heard at Waikiki.
=
0, Waikiki! (9) o, scene of peace!
y, home of beauty and of dreamsI
No haven in the isles of Greece
Can chord the harp to sweeter
themes;
For Hours haunt the broad lanais,
While scented zephyrs cool the lea,
And, looked down from sunset skies,
The angels smile on Waikiki.

Such executive persecution of members Of

nounced under ordinary conditions. The
black-lsting of members of the party Of

ordinary conditions, be regarded as a vio-
