THE BALL.

But the event Of Inauguration is the
ball. Without ball the inauguration
would not be legal, great many people
seem TO think. At any rate, 1t would lose
all the sweetness that attracts the ladies.
Possibly President Cleveland would much
prefer to pass quiet evening with few
friends after the review, but there IS 40
such good luck for him. Now he has to
assist while Mrs. Cleveland trlumphs:
course be feature OF the ball,
he will really stand little show
beside his wife of securing pub
lie favor that night. Generally the Pen
sion-O Office Is growled at and found fault
with for its architecture and for Its work
ings, but for one night at least 1t will be
about perfect in the eyes OF the great mob
that has been buylng tickets at all sorts OF
prices. There is, OF course, no other build
ING IN Washington where il would be pos
sible to hold the ball, unless 1t was the
Capitol aud bands were strung all over 1t.
For one night in every four years, instead
of being the Mecca of the widow and the
fatherless of soldiers. the Pension Bureau
will hide away all its skeletons and become
fairy palace under the wand OF the Horst
who has made 50 many Washington homes
beautiful and who has made wedding bells
for some OF the greatest bellies Washington
has ever had. For the first time in years
the floral decorations will be III the hands
OF a Washington florist, and he will simply
outdo himself. IL IS his intention to outdo
every previous attempt at floral decoration
that not only Washington, but also any
other city in this country has ever pro-
duced.
GREAT FLORAL BALL
He has determined that this Cleveland
inauguration ball shall be remembered for
years az the great floral ball. The up
holstery has always had most to do with
making the Pension-O Office beautiful ball
room, but this year the great dependence
will be placed on the florist. IN recognition
OF Mrs. Clevelaud's fondness for flowers.
1t is TO be perfect dream OF floral art. Ihe
orchestras are to be stationed under two
great arches built at the north and south
entrances to the building. They are to be

base. On one incandescent lights Will DO

Tramps Routed.

Through the combined efforts of our vigilant officers, who have made it their especial business to run down tramps and loafers about the city for the past few days, the entire fratern- ity has been forced to capitulate and seek other pastures more fertile and green. The officers were out bright and early this morning and ''took in" the entire city. AS a result, only enc arrest was made-a white tramp who was fined $15 and 30 days on the farm. This looks like business, and the officers deserve the thanks of the entire city for this rapid ex- termination of worthless characters, whom it seemed last week were des- tined to take the entire city.

NEW YORK SEN4T0RS.

The report from Troy that violent opposition has been manifested to- ward Senator Murphy is not surpris ing Matters in New York politics are far from settled, and the recent trouble between Mir. Hill and the junior Senator only increases the complications. The whole business started at the State Convention in 1882. It will be remembered that Daniel Manning was the recognized leader of the Democracy at that time, and the fact that Cleveland, Hill and Murphy, Mayors of three prominent cities, should present themselves as candidates for the gubernatorial nomination was matter of no little concern to the future Secretary. Messrs. Hill and Murphy naturally affiliated, as they Were both of the Tilden faction, while Mir. Cleveland had never met the Sage of Gram mercy Part. It is claimed that the nomination was effected solely because Mir. Clevelond was a Vest ern man, and, as fortune would have it, Democratic majority of 192, 900 was recorded. That settled the matter. From that time for ward the two factions were almost irretrievally separated.
 Hills antagonism has not been concealed. The election of Murphy in the face of the Presidents oppo- tion was expected, and the action of the Legislature was considered a direct blow at Mr. Cleveland. It was thought that at last New York had secured certainly two congenial Senators, if nothing else. It now turns out that the house is divided against itself. It is merely a ques- tion of Who's boss?n
 Itis to be hoped that the people will decide the matter It is bad enough for the city of New York to be in the hands of Tammany with out hope of redemption. The State should be spared that ignominy.

THE ALLLS GASE.

Saturday night about Il o'clock a verdict of guilty was rendered against H. c. Allis. late President of the First National Bank of Little Rock. It was one of the most inn portant criminal cases in the history of the State. The trial occupied two weeks and the jury was out thirty-four hours. The case was hotly contested on both sides. Judge Sanborn's charge consisted of about 12, 900 words, and was a lengthy re- view of the testimony. Objection was raised by the defense on account of the manner in which two of the jurors answered questions put to them in polling the jury, but the objection was overruled by the court. A motion for a new trial was made and the argument was heard this morning. The defense claimed that Juror Brickon has pre- viously expressed an opinion that Allis ought to be in the peniten- tiary, It is on that ground that a new trial is asked.

10000 Hungry and Cold.

Hilton Head, off the coast of South Carolina, is now called Hunger Isl land, from the great amount of sui fering and destitution there as re- suit of the fearful storm that visited that locality during the latter part of August. Gov. Tillman has sent a special committee to report on the actual condition in theisland. Fam lilies are found naked in their rude and hastily constructed huts, and receive the small pittances allowed them by charity through a crack in a wall in order not to show their nakedness. Their al- lowance is only peck of grits and a pound of pork, which is not calcu- lated to last much longer. These people are suffering for want of food and clothing, and their suffering should elicit the sympathy of the country. They cannot help them selves and must appeal to charity Send Gov. Tillnan, at Columbia, $. C., $10. $5 or $1 for these needy peo- pie, or if you do not care to send it, call on Mr. W. E. McMillan, a South Carolinian, at Walkers drug store and make such contributions as you desire. There are 10000 hungry and naked souls on the Islands, and the people ofSouth Carolina have almost exhausted their resources in provid- ing for them. It is deserving charity and there should be liberal response from the charitable people of this vicinity.

MR. KISSING, recently appointed Postmaster of Chicago, has sta tioned a policeman at his door to keep out office-seeking Democrats. It may be very pleasant now, but in the near future if Mr. Hessing should want anything in the nature of an elective office the policeman will, in all probability, not be on hand.
