oranges. This he was to carry while accom-
pdnying me in the stable but the moment we
reached the door the herd set up such a

he dropped the apron and its contents and
scuttled off like a scared rabbit. There were
eight elephants. and when ! picked up the

The Presidents Hawaiian Policy.

The Presidents Hawaiian Policy.
The newspapers have a great deal to
say about Mr.. Cleveland's Hawaiian
policy, but they know nothing about it..
He has given no indication of what it is,
and it is doubtful if anybody outside of
his cabinet knows what it is. 1t is even
a question whether Commissioner Blount
has been taken into the Presidents con-
fdeuce. He was sent to Hawaii to per-
form certain duties, and as far as known
he is giving satisfaction. When his re-
port is received the President may give
out some intimation as to the course that
is to be pursued in the Hawaiian matter.
Annexation of protectorate may be
considered advisable, but it is more than
probable that the President would prefer
to see tine islands under a government of
their own. If he believes from what
Commissioner Bl0unt reports that such a
government can be maintained there
satisfactorily he may decide to give it q
trial
Tt is not believed that he has for a mo-
ment contemplated restoring the deposed
queen to her throne, or Of doing anything
to re-establish the monarchy. The life of
the deposed queen, from the accounts
that have appeared in the public prints,
while she was on the throne, was not
such as to command the respect and love
of her subjects And it is, not believed
that majority of the Hawaiians want
the monarchy restored.
The republican press is making a great
cutlery about the hauling down of the
American flag at Honolulu 1t ought not
to have been raised The protectorate
which Minister Stevens created was un-
authorized
If the flag had continued to float over
the public buildings of Hawaii it might
be claimed, if the President should sue
coed in having a satisfactory government
for Hawaii established, that the peo-
pie were coerced into accepting it.
The hauling down of the flag, therefore,
was a wise act. If the Hawaiian people
are to decide as to the form of govern
ment they are to have they should do so
feeling entirely free to do what seems to
them to be for the best.
Mr.. Cleveland appears to be pursuing
the right course and he will not permit
himself to be swerved from it by newspa-
per criticism.

MODS at Swell Weddings.


The sexton of the church in which Miss
Martin, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Bradley Martin. who was married to the
Earl of Craven in New York city last
week, describes the crowd of women that
got into the church Immediately after the
departure of the guests as a mob. The
fact that the groom was an earl seemed
to aflict them with a wild and whirling
rudeness. They pushed into the church
by the hundreds. They were richly
dressed and belonged to the better class.
but many of them did not conduct them
selves as if they had much self-respect.
They wanted souvenirs of the wedding
and they began to grab and appropriate
the flowers with which the church was
profusely decorated Orders had been
given to send the flowers to the hospitals.
and so the sexton and his assistant un-
dertook to prevent them from being car
ried of
The women, however, paid not the
slightest attention to the statement of the
sexton that the flowers were not to be dis
disturbed. They pushed and crowded
up the aisles until they reached the
chancel and then rudely and roughly tore
to pieces the floral decorations and
grabbed all they could get their hands on.
The sexton and his assistants pleaded
with them to leave the church Finally
force was used and the mob was pushed
back from the communion rail and out
| into the vestibule.
And it is said that such scenes are not
uncommon at swell weddings in New
York AT most of such weddings only in
vited guests are admitted to the church,
but it is not a difficult matter to gain en-
trance. Immediately after the cere-
mony the doors are not guarded, and
then it is that the mob of women rush in
and get the flowers. There are many
curious features in New York life and the
scenes at the swell weddings are not the
least curious Of them

A Novel SuRRastion.

Col. A. A. Pope, of Boston, who has be-
come known throughout the length and
breadth of the land as an advocate of
good roads, has struck upon another great
reform idea. The enormous losses of life
and property per annum by fire suggests
to him that there must be remedies which,
if properly applied, would tend to lessen
the danger from fires. Quoting from the
statistics of the Hon. Edward Atkinson,
he says: "The fire losses of the present
year are likely to reach $3.50, 1000, 900. The
cost of sustaining insurance companies
will not be less than $65, 600, 900. The cost
of fire departments cannot be less than
$35, 100000 l am not aware of any statis-
tics that give the number of lives lost by
fire. but think that thousands of lives
are probably lost annually in this man
ner"
Col. Pope's remedy is the establish
ment of colleges of instruction having for
their object the teaching of the most
! scientific methods for the prevention and
extinguishment of fires. The graduates
of these colleges would furnish the
country with competent fire chiefs
! If the fire department of the whole
country We're under central head, hav-
ing power to direct that none but the
graduates of fire colleges be given
command of city departments, and if the
government should establish one or more
fire colleges after plan some
what similar to its military
and naval academies, the idea
might be feasible. But it is not likely
that private capital would care to estab-
fish such colleges, or that the various
city governments would bind themselves
| to put only graduates of fire colleges at
] the heads Of their departments

A Result Not Anticinated.

/ The amendment 10 the constitution Of
/ Mississippi recently adopted hy the poo
PIE of THAT state which provides thltonlT
+ those shall vote WHO can read and write
/ is found % Dee exceedingly helpful To the
. rroh.b;tiolists. Mississippi has a local
option law, ana in counties i'm which in
! toxicatine liquor has been voted out
/ licenses cannot be obtained except on pc
/ titions containing the names of majority
of the registered voters.
Only few of the blacks have the quail
tications necessary to register, and the
names of many Of the whites, particularly
those whites who favor saloons. are not
on the registration books. Consequently
the people who DO not regard the liquor
business with favor have the power to
say whether or not that business shall he
carried on in their respective counties
and they are using their power. Within
the last few months they have closed
the saloons in seven counties and
they are pursuing their work with en-
thusiasm ana vigor. It begins to look as
if Mississippi would become prohibition
state within the next year or two.
iN i'N'llt " itp al y AilNl'll NIX upon Al''o
ing the saloons do not belong to the Pro
hibition party. They are democrats, but
they are satisfied that prohibition.
brought about by local option, is the best
thing for their state.
There is no doubt that local option is
the best method yet tried for stopping the
sale of Intoxicating liquor. A general
prohibition law cannot be enforced in To-
Calities in which the majority is
against it, The dispensary system has
not yet been tried sufficiently to deter
mine its merits. Local option is salts
factory and effective 1t depends for its
success upon public sentiment Wher-
ever public sentiment is against saloons
there the law prohibiting the sale of in
toxicating liquor can be enforced. This
is demonstrated clearly in many counties
in this and other states.
1t is worthy Of notice that while the
Prohibition party is very much stronger
in the north than in the south there is
more genuine prohibition in the south
than in the north This is due largely to
the local option method of dealing with
the liquor traffic in the south.
