Below are some opinions on the merits of

Below are some opinions on the merits OF
the McDonogh Club:
From the Baltimore Sun.
The visitors to the bazaar which is being
held at the Cyclorama Building for the bene-
fit of the Young Mems Christian Association
enjoyed last night an interesting performance
by the McDonogh Alumni Glee Club, under
the direction Of George Taylor. The club
includes also Russell A. Jones, W. IL
Drummond, A. r. Furguson, H. A. Robier,
II. G. Beauchamp, G. w. Ray and j. W..
johnson. The voices are in good training
and brought out the bright glees and choruses
effectively.
From the Baltimore News.
The McDonogh Alumni Glee Club gave a
most ENJOYABLE concert at Mt. Washington,
last evening which was considered far superior
TO any in the course.
The Eutaw Club.
The McDonogh Glee Club has been giving
delightful performances, charming their
audiences. by the splendid training their
singing evidences, and by the exquisite effects
of tone color produced by their delicate
standings and intonations, giving the rare
beauty of perfect male chorus singing.
From the Baltimore Sun.
A large audience welcomed the McDonogh
Alumni Glee Club at Lehman's Hall last
evening. The Glee Club made decided sue.
cess, its members singing together In good
tune, tone and time and receiving frequent
testimonials of the appreciation OF the au'
dience.
From Every Saturday.
The McDonogh Glee Club added another
palm to its prestige by its concert on Tuesday
night at Lehman's Hall. Despite the in.
clement weather good sized cultured au-
dience listened with more than usual appreci-
alton and pleasure to the numbers given on
the program and the Glee Club had to re-
spond to frequent eneores before the audience
was satisfied.

The Hawaiian Islands.

A vast amount Of nonsense has been ut
tered in reference TO the Hawaiian Islands,
since President Harrison attempted to annex
them 10 the United States and President
Cleveland undertook to reverse that policy.
The Republican press and Republican
members of Congress have been most blat-
ant in the hue and cry raised on this sub
iect. That President Harrison committed
an gorgeous blunder, is apparent to all
who are willing to see. He not only tran
.ccnded his constitutional powers in prop
ping the Provisional Government Of Hawaii
by United States marines, but violated the
recognized policy of this government to-
wards foreign nations from its foundation
until now: from Washington TO Harrison,
with the exception just mentioned. Mr., JEFF
son declared that policy in his inaugural
address at his first term of office, March Il
1901. In giving utterance to what he
deemed the essential principles OF our gov
ernment. in relation to its foreign policy,
he enumerated peace, commerce, and
honest friendship with all nations, en-
tangliug alliances with none. In revers-
ing the Harrison policy there is no evidence
that Mr.. Cleveland has done more than
simply to undo what Mr.. Harrison wrong
fully did. Beyond that we do not believe
it is the intention of Mr.. Cleveland to go.
So far, at least, there is no sufficient VI
dence to show that il is. 1t is the duty OF
this government to keep hands off, and let
the people of Hawaii shape their own des-
tiny. 1t is the duty of our government
neither to set up nor pull down. 1t the
Provisional Government shall be able to
sustain itself, and after giving to the world
reasonable proof of that fact it should seek
annexation TO the United States, it would
then become proper subject for the con-
sideration of this government But the
limited States is not robber nation to ex-
tend its jurisdiction over adjacent nation
aIiries by the employment of its marines.

Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, in his
criticism of President Cleveland in the
Hawaiian matter, charged that the appoint
ment of Mr. Blount as special agent or
commissioner, was unconstitutional. On
Wednesday Senator Vest, Of Missouri, sur
prised the Massachusetts, Senator and the
Republican press of the country, by citing
a number of instances fsuch appointments
by President Washington and other Presi-
dents. and stating that in the history of
the government three hundred and eighty
odd persons had been appointed without
the advice and consent of the Senate, just
as Mr.. Blount was.
On the same day Senator Gordon, of
Georgia, took Senator Frye, of Maine, to
task for his criticism Of Commissioner
Blount, and Senator Frye disclaimed any
intention or purpose of attacking Mr.
Blounts integrity.

Senator Voorhees,, Chairman of the
Finance Committee. introduced into the

of silver dollars, the retirement of small de-
nominations of gold and paper money, and
for other purposes. 1t provides for the
coinage of the seigniorage silver now In the
treasury at rate not less than S2,000,00O
monthly, (Which shall be covered into the

less than $1,000, 900 silver per month when
the seigni orage is all coined, and retirement
of all notes below SO, in favor of larger

Delegate Thomas L. Hartlove, of the
Brieklayers' Union, at a meeting of the
Federation of Labor, Baltimore, on We'd
nesday night, roasted the San on its edi-
torial that day on taxation and a new as
sessment. He designated the SIN as the
organ of the Tax Dodgers, and asserted
that selishness was the basis of its oppo-
sition to fair assessment law, because
such law would greatly increase the taxes
Of the proprietors. Gradually the people
are finding out that selfshness is the con-
trolling spirit of the San.

Some official papers relating to the Ha-
waiian affair are not on file IN the State
Department. In March, 1892, nine months
before the conspiracy to overthrow the
government eliminated, Minister Stevens
wrote to Secretary Blaine informing him
of the proposed overthrow of the govern
ment. and asked for instructions on his
course of action in certain contingencies.
Mr. Blaine, of course, made reply, but no
copy of the letter is on file This looks a
little suspicious, as the instructions Minis
ter Stevens received would show whether
he acted upon the advice Of the State De-
partment or exceeded his authority.

MEssRs. EDGToRs IL noticed in the last

talk of organizing a building and loan asso-

to attract and sustain more population and

An Historical Painting.

Mr.. f. B. Mayer, of Annpaolis, has nearly
COMPLETED "a painting, feet and inches one
way and 5 feet the other, of the planting OF
the cross by the Pilgrim Fathers of Maryland
on the Island Of ST. Clements, now Blackstone
Island, in the Potomac River, on March "A,
1884. The painting represents the planting
of the first cross within the present limits of
the United States. 1t is faithful symbol of
the religious liberty of the new colony, an
act of common belief of the colonsts in the
one faith and one baptism. All classes and
creeds took part in this great act of religion
here were the cavalier and the Catholic, the
mechanic, the soldier, the sailor, the courtier,
the priest, the governor and the Indians IN
their birch bark canoe, half hidden in the rush
ofthe shore. Six cross bearers carry the forest
made cross, and under the waving branches
of the greenwood. backed by the blue waves
of the Potomac, the sign Of common faith and
religious liberty was planted. The coloring
is fine, the wood, the picturesque garb OF col
onists, Indians, priests and soldiers, with
river beyond, gave the opportunity for pic
turesque effect and brilliant contrast. These
he has taken advantage Of, yet, with har-
mony of color that makes the picture wor-
thy representation of one Of the events Of the
continent. an act thai symbolized the religious
federation Of the Maryland colony, which was
the keynote Of American civil and religious
liberty. Sixty figures appearin the painting.

the people of the times, among whom are sew

Good Advice.

As the time for the wearing of overcoats,
scarfs, and furs is at hand, it might not be
out of place to speak of habit that a great
many persons, no doubt thoughtlessly, have
got into. Of pulling on overcoats, putting on
gloves, arranging furs, and, in a number OF
ways, making preparations TO leave place
of public worship as soon as the minister an
nounces the doxology, and, therefore, while
it is being sung, they are busily engaged pre-
pairing to leave the house, thereby destroying
the solemnity of the closing part of the wor-
ship. This is not only applicable to the
closing of religious exercises, but to public
entertainments, on account of which, some
times, "a very interesting part may be missed.
There is no occasion whatever for such
habits. Persons, both ladies and gentlemen,
should remain perfectly attentive until the
exercises, whatever they may be, are entirely
closed, and then get ready to leave the honse
in an orderly manner. II is hoped that this
brief allusion to the subjec: will be .reMem,,
bered by all for whom it is intended, and
that due respect be shown, at least, to all
places of religious worship.
