Never in its history did Armory Hall
contain such a throng as gathered there

talked of Forester's ball. The place was
packed almost to the suffocation. point

was scarcely room enough to turn around
much less dance. Only portion of the
maskers could join in the grand march
which was a pageant the like of which
Sacramento probably never saw before.
The ball was a success in every way.
There were many beautiful costumes,
hundreds of comical ones, original char
acters, local "take-offs," etc., too numer-
Gus to mention. Among the most notable
characters were: California" delineated

great seal of California this was without
doubt the best character seen at the BALI;

WATCHING FARO GAMES.
What the Police Were Doing While tn
Burglars Burgled.

What the Police Were Doing While the
Burglars Burgled.
Many persons were inquiring yester
day where the police officers were during
the preceding night when the army OF
burglars were operating so promiscuously
ell over the business portion of the city.
As nearly as can be ascertained most of
the officers were engaged in trying to
keep a few men from playing faro. AS
between regulating three or four out-of-
the-way games and protecting the peo-
pie from wholesale raids by burglars,
it would seem that the latter occupation
would be regarded by the sensible portion
OF the community as more BETTING the
police.

Pope Leo has transferred all the
funds of the Vatican, even to
"Peter's pence" to the custody OF
the Rothschilds at Paris. This is
severely commented on in Austria
and in Italy as rejecting on the
stability of the finances of those
countries, and it is also comment
ed upon on account of. the Singh
lar spectacle which it presents of
the head of She great Catho-
lie church confiding all his
treasures to the care of the Jews.
Christianity's oldest church max
ing the descendants of the cruclfi-
ers of Christ the custodians of all
her treasures in preference to
Christian tinanciers, is a spectacle
well calculated to evoke comment.

usual level headedness is not

deal. Leo is the most astute oc-
of Peters chair that the
later ages have seen seated there.

fine institution, but to look at the
condition of that thorough

any more franchises to rail-
roads or corporations, it should
see to it that they do not
allow them to make perfect bog
hole out of our city. The Electric

REPUBLICANS FOR sPoILs.

Fhere is a movement among the
northern Republicans to curtail
the influence of those states which
do not add anything to Republican
success, so that they cannot dOmi-
nate the National conventions. 1t
is argued that these states are
only in the Republican party for
the spOils, and that they are not
working for Republican triumph
but for the distribution and con-
troll of federal patronage; that to
accomplish their ends they are di-
vided into cliques having no C ON
mon object but the sole purpose Of
controlling patronage, and that
they actually prevent the CONSOLE
dation of the party in such states
and the carrying of single district
for the Republican candidates for
Congress. 1t is proposed to divest
these states Of their representation
in the National conventions of the
party, and give them only the rep
resentatiOn that is accorded to the
territories, thus compelling them
to 60 to work, sOlidify their ranks
and elect at least one member of
Congress before they will be en-
titled to representation upon their
vote in the National conventions.
There is more truth than poetry
in this statement of the case.
The LIGHT has all along argued
against the undue influence of
states, that could do nothing to
elect a Republican president or
congress, taking such active part
in nominating the officers of gov
eminent. 1t will give this new at
tempt, to force the Republicans in
the Southern states to close their
ranks and go intelligently at work,
a hearty support. There is no doubt
that the itch for office and control
ling Federal patronage has pre-
vented the development of Repub-
licanism i'm the states south of the
old Mason and DiXon's line, and
any thing that will call down the
old carpet baggers and their fol-
lowers and put the party on its
mettle to add to it's influence
and numbers will be ac-
ceptable to all true Republi-
cans. There are thousands OF
good Republicans in this and in
other southern states than under
the conduct of healthy and
united Republican movement will
take an active part in the work Of
building up the party, but a:
things now are managed give ne
aid or support to it. The LIGHT
will hail any change with pleasure
that will cut off the Republican,
for patronage and put the party
under the guidance of those wht
are Republicans from principle.

Additional facts are unearthed
in England rendering more prob

one of those things.
