Hawaii and Uncle Sam.

The provisional government Of Hawaii
seems to be strong enough to sustain it
self. But we regard that government as
standing for the United States. 1t would
never have had an existence but for the
knowledge possessed by the men who
established it that the most powerful ma
ton in the world would look upon it with
friendly eyes.
These men were fully acquainted with
the fact that for fifty years the United
States Government had declared again
and again upon occasion that it would
never willingly witness the transfer OF
the control OF the Hawaiian Islands
from the people of those islands to the
government of any other country, now
ever rich or powerful.
Those men knew the fact that Mr.
Blaine. the American Secretary of State,
had declared in writing that he could not
conceive it possible that the United
States would decline to annex Hawaii to
this country if proper opportunity
presented itself.
In word Uncle Sam stands, we re-
peat, behind the provisional govern
ment of Hawaii The credentials which
Mr. Cleveland prepared for Commissioner
Blount testify to the same purport.--
They bear witness that the strong hand
of the United States is ready to be laid
upon the shoulders of any nation that
might be tempted to try to annex Ha-
wall, or to establish there protectorate.
The explanation we last week made of
the new condition of things in Hawaii
is, we still suspect, the true one-name>
~, that the United States Government
desires the provisional authorities to be
prepared to make treaty.-R2chn1O7 30

Five girls belonging to the Junior class

the rooms of the girls. Last Wednesday
night, while the five members were hold.
ing a secret meeting in the bedroom of
one of their members about midnight,
nearly twenty of their classmates burst
upon them.
reception was to to be held the fol-
lowing night A solution of nitrate of
silver had been obtained and with this
powerful caustic pictures and letteres
were drawn upon the fair bosoms and
naked arms of the bevy of pretty danlsels.
Only by wearing high-necked dresses
and long sleeves could the disfiguring
marks be concealed. The caustic pro-
duced black scars and wounds upon the
tender breasts of the girls.
The same night the male students res
solved upon a hazing. Rivalry had long
existed between the members of Stigma
Zeta Nu,'' the junior class fraternity,and
the ''Delpha Omicron Alpha" sopho-
more fraternity. Five members of the
junior fraternity, were preparing to ini>
tiate a cIassmate, Percy Wilson, of Dele
ware, into the mysteries of the order
Suddenly the door was burst open and
a number Of the sophomore fraternity
rushed in upon them. Conqured by
overwhelming numbers the Juniors were
tied hand and foot. A strong solution
of nitrate of silver had been obtained,
and with sharp pointed stick the burn
ing caustic was ground into the faces Of
the victims
All Of the juniors with the exception
of viii Wallace and Perry Wilson had
the Greek letters ID. Q. A branded on
their faces. Horns were painted on their
foreheads. Denuded of clothing they
were laid upon their faces and beaten
with red-hot fire shovel. Gagged and
unable to more than moan the fearful
punishment went on, until it is said
some of their tormentors siclSened at the
awful sight, and the victims were left in
the hall until passers>by heard their
groans and released them.
Will Wallace was taken to a stable and
tied hand and foot to Q cow, where he
was left until he managed to work him
self free from his bonds.
The next morning warrants were
sworn out for nine Of the perpetrators of
this outrage, and they were taken before
Mayor Culver. Under section 6, 991 of
the Revised Statutes the offence is puns
ishable with from one to twenty years in
the penitentiary Their trial was set for
April 27th and each gave a bail bond in
the sum Of $500 to appear
The names of the nine arrested are:
H. Farrar, of London, O.; Harry Bell, son
Of Rev. Leroy Bell, of kenton, O.; ".
Philip, of Rosedale, O.; Ralph Harold,
of Delaware, o.; William Ennis. of
Columbus, O.; Peter Adams, of Highland
O.; c. Sumner Welsh. Of Delaware, and
Walter Evans, of Gambia, O. The young
men dlsfgured will in all probability be

WASHINGTON, April 23.-In an inter

corning the intentions of those charged

At every recurring meeting of the Civil
Service Commission, the public is given
an opportunity to read an admirable
dissertation on the advantages of the
Civil Service laws, and the administra-
ton of the same is picture in glowing
colors. Yet it has not been. six months
since controversy between Commits
sioner Roosevelt and ex-Postmastsr Gen.
Wannamaker, disclosed the fact that
these laws had been openly violated by
men holding prominent positions in the
Baltimore postoffice and instead of be-
ing reprimanded and dismissed, as was
pointedly recommended by the Commits
sloner, they were retained and their
course approved of by Mr.. Wanamaker.
Other instances might be cited, where,
in every Department of the Government,
men were removed under the Harrison
Administration on account of their po>
litical opinions, who had passed Civil
Service examination and supposed they
could not be molested. Take the Mail
Service, which passed under the Civil
Service regulations after the various
Republican heads of Departments had
had two months to remove the Dem.
ocrats, and did GUST the greater portion
of them. The law was frequently vio>
lated by these Chiefs, and when it was
found that few still remained, after q
most presistant effort to make a clean
sweep, they were furloughed and har-
11.,
handed in.
The Washington correspondent in
Sundays Richmond Times, states that
there is great rush of petitions to the
President and Cabinet officers to place
the present office holders, four-ffths of
whom are Republicans, under the opera
ton of the Civil Service law, and adds
that the reason for this mad rush is so
apparent to the President and his CABS
met, that it will fail of it's purpose. He
also suggests that it would have come
with better grace for these petitioners to
have urged this step before Mr.. Harri-
son went out of power.
We are clearly of the opinion that as
long as the two great parties are consti-
tuted as at present, the Civil Service
laws will be evaded, as has been done in
the past The victorious party is fairly
entitled to administer the affairs of the
government given into it's control by the
voice of majority of the voters, and it
should be no hardship to the party that
suffered defeat.
Here is what the Commission recon-
mends in part:
"The commissioners urge that the clas-
sified service should be extended as rap>
idly as practicable to cover every posi-
ton in the public service to which it can
appropriately be applied, as for instance,
to clerks and writers in navy>yards, to
almost the entire body of officials in the
District of Columbia, to the internal
revenue service and to custom houses
with twenty-five employees. They ear
nestly desire that some such measure as
that introduced in the last Congress
toltake the fourth class postmasters out
of politics may become law" |

A VICTORY FOR HOKE SMITH.
The Supreme Court Decides That
Contributary Negligence is For the
Jury to Decide.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-By decision
of the Supreme Court of the United
States rendered to day in an opinion
read by Justice Brewer, Secretary Hoke
Smith scored another success in one OF
the railroad damage cases the prosecu-
ton OF which made him famous in the
Southern country, even before he was
called into President Cleveland's Cabi-
net. 1t was in the case of the heirs of
W. D. Powers against the Richmond
and Danville Railroad Company, appeal
ed from the Circuit Court for the North
ern district of Georgia. Powers was
run over and killed at Lula, Georgia.
April IL, 1856, by a train belonging to
the defendant company.
On the trial of the case below, which
resulted in a Judgment for $500 against
the railroad, the company's counsel ask
ed the court to instruct the jury that
Powers was guilty of such contributory
negligence as to prevent recovery. This
the court declined to do; the company
appealed, and the Supreme Court of the
United States affirmed the judgment on
the ground that the question of contrib
utory negligence was one of fact for the
jury to determine, and not of law for the
court.

Church South


Mr.. Levi Cackley, father of Rev. DR..
A. NJ. Cackley, pastor of the NJ. 3
Church, South, at Martinsburg, died at

He was for over fifty-tive years an active

1t is well established fact, widely rec
ognized by Snowman, that the shows to
which people want to go are those to
which they think they can't get in.
However Indifferent they may be to a
performance, if they hear that the tickets
are all sold, or can only be had by special
favor, they are willing to pay apremium
to get them.
This was illustrated by the so-called
Theatre of Art and Letters in New York,
a society formed on the model of the
Theatre Libre, of Paris, to give perform
mances, by subscription, of plays that
might not otherwise got hearing. AS
long as these entertainments were con-
fined to Sne members they were great
success 1t was favor to get ticket
at any price.
One of the plays thus produced, by
the aid of excellent artists, made such a
hit that it was decided to allow the pub
lie to see it. So the performance was
given this week, at one of the New York
theatres, like an ordinary attraction at
ordinary prices. But the public did not
come. People had only wanted to get
into the swell circle of the subscri bers,
because it was supposed to be select.
When anybody could go, then nobody
wanted to go at all.
