The social affair was informal aud

in dancing and listening to choice vocal
and instrumental musical selections.
The entertainment was preceded by a
serenade which was an agreeable eur

features of the evenings festivities was
the comic singing and acting OF Meyer.
At midnight an elegant collation. was
served which all thoroughly enjoyed.

CoMING events cast their shadows be-
fore. For months past Los Angeles has
kbeen filled with very superior class of
Tourists, many of whom are undoubted-
,Hy intending to become settlers. The
Speople who are coming here now form a
<marked contrast to those we were in the
fhabit of seeing during the past four or
Five years. Many of our present visitors
are men Of first distinction. They want
superior accommodations, and are will
Ting to pay for them. Their predecessors
were persons, generally, OF o very eco
nomical turn of mind, and paid for
Snothing, including board and lodging,
without q very searching inquiry as to
the price. All the signs now point to
the fact that the outside world ia fully
alive to the truth that one Of the splen-
did eras OF development, of which Los
Angeles has had quite number, is
about to set in, and many ssgacious
1 people from abroad are determined to
! take advantage of this happy conjunc-
ture.

A vIEw OF ANNEXATION.

1t is OF course quite natural that the
average American should warm up to
the idea of annexing Hawaii, but there
are many considerations that would
make an American protectorate OF the
islands far preferable. In the first
place, we should avoid the perhaps
hopeless attempt to assimilate hetero-
geneous population. In the second
place, by not annexing the islands we
should hold by our word, as embodied
in the treaty of 1875, extended in 1888,
by which we agreed not only not to
annex the Sandwich islands but not to
permit any other nation to annex them.
The third is consideration of great
force. Should we admit Hawaii into
the sisterhood OF states we should
be obliged to extend to her
the benefits OF the sugar bounty
of two cents pound. Persons
perfectly acquainted with the sta
tistics of sugar production of Haw aii
say that even as the case stands now we
should be obliged to pay to the sugar
planters of the islands $2S, 900. 900 year
in bounties. Nor is that all. It seems
to be an incontestable fact that the
greater portion of this large disburse-
ment from the treasury of the United
States would 60 to German and English
planters. There is nothing fascinating
in such possibility as that. 1t is of
course possible that congress may re-
peal this bounty; but then, again, it
may not. Nothing is more certain than
that the bounty was passed to encourage
an infant industry in the United States,
and not to enrich slave drivers in
Hawaii. By the annexation of the
islands our own infant industry,
which we at least ostensibly aimed to
build up, would be crushed out of ex-
istence. 1t would be absolutely out of
the question for the United States to
aim to compete with the cheap and de-
graded labor which is imported from
China and the Portuguese islands. We
are inclined to think that this pro-
gramme of annexation is q very diapha-
nous scheme to hornswoggle that $685.
100000 year, which would be quickly
swollen to double that sum. By simply
declaring protectorate over Hawaii we
should escape the necessity OF paying
this tremendous douceur, and enjoy all
the advantages without any of the draw
backs of annexation. This seems to be
pre-eminently case in which the old
time injunction, MAKE haste slowly"
would appear to apply with special sp-
positeness and force.
