THURSDAY EVENING. MAY %, 1888

Mr.. STEVENS, eN-Minister to Hawai-,
eovs the Sandwich Islands should be
annexed to the United States, because
the Queen is an immoral woman and
is promoting a condition of barbaric
and oriental sensuality" in her domln-
ions. Now everybody except Mr.. Stew
ems knows that there are more immoral
women in New York city than in the
whole of Hawaii, and that barbaric and
oriental sensuality is produced to as
great an extent in the city referred TO
as was ever conceived of in the most
barbaric and oriental nations. But,
leaving all that out ofview, what con-
ceivable business has this country to DO
with the immortality of the queen OF
another, or with the barbaric and either
oriental or occidental sensuality that
NAV prevail among her people? Mr..
Stevens should be arrested as soon as
he lands on American soil and be Sc
verely punished for the gross outrage
he committed upon a friendly foreign
nation. and ample apologies and offers
of preparation should be at once made
by this government to the legitimate
government of Hawaii.

robbers one mile west of the station at

PEELED the engineer to step oil his engine

ger Hammill to open the door. Ham
mill refused to obey the command and
one of the robbers drawing e

less he opened the door. He com
piled with the request and the rob

SENATOR STANFORD, whose advice
President Cleveland says he will take
rs soon as that of any body else, Col.
Mosby, and many other welL-known
Californians, democratic and republic
can alike, say the right-thinkins peo-
ple of the Pacific slope are not in favor
of the anti Chinese law, that in fact the
Chinese have made that slope as rich
and prosperous as it and that save only
and except for the Chinese, hun
dreds of thousands of the white people
now there would still be on this side OF
the Rockies. But the demagogues say
the negroes shall be chung to with
hooks of steel, but that the quiet and
industrious Chinese shall be not only
driven out of the desert they have made
to bloom like the rose, but out of the
whole country which, until recently,
posed as the refuge of the oppressed OF
all the nations of the earth.

THE PHILADELPHIA Press, republi-
can. comedies that the lot of the negro
in the North is hard, and is frank
enough to acknowledge that the cause
of ii is the RELENTLESS race prejudice. "
And yet the Press was an active and
pernicious advocate Of the Force bill,
the effect of which would have been
the subsection of the white people OF
whole counties, districts, and even
States in the South to the domination
of a race for whom the white people
of the North have RELENTLESS preju-
dice. What nature has put asunder
law can not join together, and northern
white people will not associate on terms
of equality with negroes any more than
will those of the South. Blood always
has been thicker than water and always
will be.

report of the committee on home mis-
sions was read. The report called at

mends that the publication of the Home
Missionary be discontinued as it is self
sustaining.
The committee recommends two an
nual collections for homo missions in
January and September. Special at
tention is directed to the necessary ex-
penditure of funds in Indian Territory.
A minority report on the whole plan
was brought in. The reports were put

A DISPATCH from Havana says
1.-The news that President Cleveland
had not called upon the Infanta in re-
turn for the Infanta's visit to the White
House has made an unpleasant impress
sion here. and the public journals COM
plain of President Cleveland's attitude
toward the royal guest of the United
States" This is only what might have
been naturally expected. Solecisms in
courtesy are less condonable when COM
mitted by people in high public posi-
tions than when those guilty of them
are in private stations, and the spirit OF
aobIessc oblige is as true under demo-
cratic. as it is under monarchical gov
ernment.

THIS is wool-growing country, and
lie facilities for manufacturing wool
into needful articles are not excelled,
and vet the price of those articles is
higher here than in any other country
in the world, and the market for
them confined within its own borders
The sole reason is the high tariff tax on
wool. This is lesson of the real effect
of protection so plain that it can be
learned by the most stupid pupil.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1893-05-25

IF THE protectionists be right, then
the governments of all the manutac-
turing countries of the world except
that of the United States are wrong,
for none of them imposes tax on the
raw material of the articles its people
manufacture. Those who really be-
lieve that protection is for the good OF
the many, and not of the few, may be
wise, but if they be, then all the other
ueople on the earth are born fools.

The Infanta Eulalic.

The reception given by the Princess
Eulalie to the members of the diplo-
matte corps was to have taken place at
nine o'clock in Washington last night,
but it was $50 before she appeared in
the reception room at the Arlington.
At her request, the diplomatic corps did
not wear The uniform of their rank, but
came in evening dress. The three Ia
dies parlors on the Vermont avenue
side of the hotel were used as the re-
ception rooms. They were not deco
rated in any way, thus giving the re-
ception every appearance of being in
formal.
At 1920 o'clock the Infanta and suite
took carriages at the hotel and were
driven to the British embassy, where
one of the most elaborate social func-
tons of the season took place. The
event was celebration of the seventy
fourth anniversary of Queen Victoria's
birthday. The handsome building had
been made bower Of beauty at the
hands of the decorators. The steps lead
ing to the entrance were covered with
blue carpet of soft material, and over
the massive portals were draped the
colors of Spain. The hall and grand
stairway, with decorations of bunting
and flowers, presented a pleasing ap-
pearance. In the general dining-hall,
where refreshments were served to the
six hundred guests, the walls and mir
rors were encased with the colors of
the United States, Great Britain and
Spain, and plants were arranged in the
windows and on stands. The ballroom
presented contrast to the others by
reason of the lack ofplants, only the
various national colors and few vines
constituted the decorations. In cor
ner raised dais had been placed as
miniature throne for the reception of
the royal guest. The British ambassa-
dor and Lady Pauncefote received the
guests at the entrance to the second
drawing-room on the left of the main
hall. The music in the ballroom be-
gan shortly after ten o'clock, and
dancing continued until late hour.

girls named hasten and Klage, were
executed in that city yesterday. Both

which the woman and man suffered
death were peculiarly atrocious. The wo-
man confessed that the hasten girl was
iured into a forest, where Erbe stran-
gled her. He then severed the head
from the body. He and the woman
stripped the remains and them buried
them. The girl Klage was also lured

fence, but their guilt was easily proven.

A Serious Accident.

On Wednesday morning the Elkhor..
freight started for the Gap, having a
fiat car loaded with poles just ahead of
the caboose. When rounding curve
about half mile south of the Cathol-
con at a good rate of speed, the stakes
on the side of the fat car that held the
poles in place broke and the poles rolled
off and flew like cindcrs from an engine
AL Williams, the fellow mentioned
last week as marrying the Kirby girl
in Jail, was standing upon the front
platform of the caboose. The poles
were flying thick in that locality, and
10y the time the train was stopped Will
liams was found badly bruised and
UNCONSCIOUS. The end of the caboose
was battered up, the iron guards torn
off, aud other signs Indicated that
that immediate locality had been a
dangerous place. This is all the dam
age done.
Williams was.brought to town, and
Drs. Cheney and Hargens summoned
to care for him. They report HIM in
a very critical condition. Besides hav-
ing large cut over the left eye and a
cash about four inches long cut on the
back OF his head; his left kidney is
badly iacerated, which is now giving
him serious trouble. The prospects
for his recovery are doubtful. This is
the first accident that has happened on
this line wherein any one was injured,
and the railroad men are not respon-
sible for this.

o'clock last night, and his bride of a
week is u widow. Cruel fate
