Would Not Endorse Parkhurst.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE presby-
terry of New York has refused to
adopt the motion calling for the
appointment of a committee to
prepare a minute recognizing the
reform work carried on by DR..
Parkhurst. After a strong speech
against the proposed action by one
OF the ministers, not a pastor, an
effort was made to withdraw the
motion, but it was finally decided
to postpone its further considera-
ton owing to the late hour and the
small attendance Of the conference
last night. The motion was Of
fered by Thomas 5. Strong, an elder
in Rev. DR.. ThOmpsOn's church,
the objection was made by Dr..
Mullaly. He criticised DIR. Park

A MISERABLE MURDERER.
HAUNTED BY THE MEMORY OF
HIS VICTIMS.
The Slayer of Kate Cling May be a
Wholesale Butcher-Hypno-
tlzed TO do the Crime.

MINNEAPOLIs, Dec. ll.-Claus A.
Blixt, the confessed murderer of
Catherine Cling, is pitiable OBJ
ject Now that the awful secret
has been revealed he seems utterly
shattered. The nerve shattered
murderer Is haunted with
the fair face of his victim and
is actually afraid to be
alone in his cell. The authorities
had some fear OF his mind giving
away entirely and the jailer was
instructed to speak encouragingly
to him and tell him he had moth
to fear as long as he made a con-
fession. He says he wants to die
now that he has told all he knows.
He asked that the chief of
police OF Canon Falls, Mime
sofa, where he once lived, be
sent for, and it is suspected
he has the weight Of another MUIR
der on his soul which he is anxious
to confess. 1t is understood that
Blixt's wife, in that village, died
very suddenly and mysteriously,
and the wretched man wants to
tell another gruesome story about
that tragedy. He also asked that
his relatives in Canon Falls be
sent for and when they ar
rive more revelations are ex-
pected. Ii it proves to be a
fact that he is responsible for
his first wife's death, it may also
turn out that Harry Hayward
knew of this fact and made use of
1t to strengthen his power over his
tool. The belief is growing that
Harry Haywood made use Of hyp-
notism to secure so strong hold
over his tools and victim, and BliXt
| said he did.
1t is now remembered that Adry
Haywood, in his confession, allud.
ed to the terrible influence Harry
had over him. He could not eX-
plain it. 1t is known that Harry
had wonderful influence over the
dead girl. She did anything he
told her to do. The question in
every mind now Is whether Harry
will confess. He was not told
of Blixt's confession until today
and reporters have all been denied
access to him by order of his at
torney. Sheriff Eye spent the night
with him in jail. Eye has a way OF
getting prisoners confidence, and
it Is believed that he will
he able TO get admissions from
the arch conspirator, il any one
does. Harry Haywood this morning
was given the papers containing
the story of Blixt's confession.
After reading them he said the
whole thing was a fake concOcted
by Blixt to save his neck. He said
he might himself have something
to say soon which would show
things in new light.

ONE OPINION.
C. w. Ashford Expresses
His Views.

4 HOLoHUA representative this
morning asked Mr.. c. Ashford
if be had seen the draft of con-
stitution submitted by the p. e.
to the convention:
Il have glanced it over very
hurriedly this morning" was the
reply
What do YOU think of it!' was
the next question.
1T requires bat glance at its
crazy provisions to stamp it as
the Iankest, rottenest document
of the kind ever issued from the
press" was the answer.
Whatever of good it contains
is copied verbatim from the con
stitution 1857. 1t propounds NO
new principle of liberty, but ex
tinguishes many of the guarantees
of liberty to life, liberty and pro-
perry previously existing. In
fact, not one of the elemental
prime pies of the liberty of the
citizens, as usually expressed in
the Bill of Rights with which
all constitutions make their bow,
is left in full force. and unimpair-
ed by the present screed. Not one
of the guarantees by which the
r ghts and liberties of the people
were surrounded under the detest
ed monarchy, but has been either
completely extinguished. or so
emasculated as to render ii i'm
potent for their protection as was
no doubt intended BY the trainers
of the present instrument There
is no guaranty of the right of
trial by jury, except in cases of
felony. What is to prevent the
Legislature from expunging the
word felony" from the code?
Free speech is orbdden, and the
press is gagged, except in adj
vocacy OF certain prescribed lines
of government; and others of the
fundamental privileges of the cit
izen are either absolutely exiting
uished or so limited and condi-
toned as to be valueless for the
protection of personal and pro-
perry rights. The right of fran
chise, as provided, is perhaps the
worst sample of a political abor-
ton ever performed, or sought to
be performed, upon the body poll
tic. Che rights of the President and
Cabinet, and of the Advisory
Council responsible to nobody
are unexampled and preposter-
Gus. There is no provision for
the ratification or other adoption
of the instrument either by the
people or any other body of men
or women.

The Sabbath in the South
Seas.

The closeness with which Ha-
wsiians keen in touch with
American civilization is illus
trated IN controversy that has
been recently carried on in the
islands as to whether or not a
band should be allowed to play
for the benefit of the public in
Honolulu on Sundays. The fact
that there is a controversy
indicates to the sagacious mind,
without further statement to that
effect, that there are two sides to
the question. One party objects
to the band playing as u profan-
alton of the Sabbath and brings
forward the usual stock of scrip
tur i texts to support its position
The language of orthodoxy is the
same the world over, an appeal to
that which was written Thousands
of years ago. The other party to
the strife has way of reasoning
that bears a curious resemblance
to that used in pleading for the
opening Of the gates of tie Worlds
Fair last summer. The tone of
light satire resembles that which
Ingersoli employs when attending
to what lie considers the un-
reasonable supers,it ion of church
people. Thus the orthodox argu
ment that the bands playing
involves labor which prohibited
for the seventh day by holy writ,
is met by the liberal Hawaiiians
with the rejoinder that labor
involved would consist merely in
pumping wind into ms ruments
of brass and that similar desecra-
ton of the day is already sane
toned by churches when thew
employ somebody to pump wind
into the church organ, and
another to handle the KEYS aud
stops. In the language of the
Hawaiian DIR. Briggs there
should be no straining at the
band gnat while swallowing the
organ camel. He also goes on
to assert that nothing in nature
shows any signs of rest on the
Sabbath, that the human BODY
continues its functions with un-
abated vigor on that day. and
that many Noted and pious
clergy men have been known to
work their stUmachs or Sunday
for ali they were worth. 1t is |
asserted that nature should be at |
once brought into harmony with |
the ideas of Sabbatarians, and |
that the latter should at once |
