AN ADJECTIVE CONGRESS.

Almost two months have passed
since Congress assembled in regu-
lar session and there is no more
knowledge possessed by the COun-
try today as to what the result Of
its deliberations will be than there
was when it was called to order.
The threat that was made by the
party in power that it would war
upon the protective policies Of the
Nation has been carried into effect
to the extent of destroying in great
measure those industries, but the
policy under which that destruC-
tion is to be carried out in the fu-
ture is no nearer enunciatiOn now
than it was before Congress as
sembled. The deficit grows larger
from week to week, and yet in the
face of this fact Congress goes on
in its senseless way decreasing rev.
enue, destroying industries, killing
confidence and paving the way for
national bankruptcy. To meet the
obligations of the government it!iS
proposed to issue bonds, applying
the same to meet the current eX-
penses of the government, pro-
cedure for which there seems to
be no warrent and which is OPP
posed as unconstitutional by some
of the best members Of both par
ties. In the meantime the Demo
cratic committee of Ways and
Means is antagonized by the party
creating it, and caucus decisions
for the determination Of policy are
contrary to the views of the au-
thor of the measure that is being
considered. Every industry of the
country is imperilled and every
industrial center ignored in its
representations of the inevitable
disaster that is coming. Petitions
with millions of signatures have
been treated with contempt
by the Ways and Means
committee, and the prayer OF
these millions that their capital
be not practically confiscated and
their labor destroyed, has met will
a brusque denial. Wages are going
down and mills are only running
to supply the imperative demand
of the present. Foreign producer

Masquerade Balls.

Germania Lodge, Knights and
Ladies Of Honor, gave their annual
masquerade ball at Mission garden
Saturday night, which proved to
be a decided success in every par
ticular. The costumes were unique
and many of them beautiful, and
the music furnished by ArtZt's Or
chestra, was good. At II o'clock
the masks were removed and after
an hours dancing, the grand
march was announced, and all re-
paired to the banquetting apart
ments where most superb lunch
was served. Dancing was again
resumed and it was early Sabbath
morning before "Home, Sweet
Homo" was heard.
Messrs. August Huth, NJ. Rosy,
f. Wiedenfelt composed the COM
mittee on arrangements, and the
floor committee consisted of Mrs.
A. NOrdmann, f. Teich, Mrs. A,
Huth, Mrs. H. A. Brown and Mrs
Oscar Bergstrom, Mr.. Herman
Heiligman was there in all his
glory and added to the pleasure OF
the evening by keeping the boys
and girls in good spirits.
Madam Donaldson gave her an
nual mask ball Saturday night at
the Arbeiter Verein hall and about
seventy-five couples were in atten-
dance. The event was one of much
| joy.

nation in times of peace by the
round sum of one hundred million.
There are Democrats enough in
congress who deplOre this action
OF their leaders to defeat this
ruinous policy if they would
join their forces with the Repub-
licans, but the party lash is
cracked about their ears, caucus
is invoked to whip the protective
Democrats in line and the destruc-
tive work goes on. Intelligent
members of this Democatic Cong
ress, who confess freely that the
policy pursued is going to destroy
the property of thousands of their
constituents, dare not abide by the
conviction of their own judgment
and are bounded into a policy that
betrays every trust that their dis
tricts have committed to them.
This is the edifying specacle pre-
sented by this Democratic Con-
gress in it's legislation on domestic
affairs. The picture is not relieved
when the other side is turned and
the foreign policy Of this same
is considered. The
prayer of distressed country to-
day is-from such a Congress and
such an administration, Good
Lord deliver us.

1t would take a close census to
determine how many who vote the
Democratic ticket for party and
personal consistency are really
Republican in principle, but there
is no doubt that they are legion.
William, of Germany, has gone
up a peg or two in the estimation
of his people for his magnanimity
in seeking the reconciliation with
Bismarck that the old Chancellor
himself was too proud to ask.
The Democrats are busy knocking
| out the national industries, but the
! tables will turn next fall and the
bees in the hive Of national indus
try will sting the Democrats out
of their seats in congress.
The weather last week was as cold
as the shoulder that the country
will turn to the National Democra-
cy when next the opportunity is
given to pay them out for their
freetrade foOlishness.
The Hoggies are ready to take
the Clarkites into the Democratic
fold as the Methodists do their
members, on probation, but the
probation idea does not work in
politics.
Hogg says that the causes OF
Democratic dissension have disap-
peared, but he does not explain
how it is that the discussions them
selves remain so distinctly visible

San Antonio has the latch string
on the outside and the decanter on
the sideboard for those railway
promoters who are to visit the city
tomorrow. The old city cannot
show herself any too friendly to
those who come within her gates
upon such an errand. She should
manifest such an interest in the
business that has called them to-
gether here as to encourage them
in their efforts to connect her with
the southeast and open to her trade
the magnificent country that lies
between this commercial center
and the mouth of the BraZOs. The
LIGHT not only gives these visitors
a welcome, but urges careful con-
sideration and hearty endorsement
of any practical plan for promoting
the Gulf road.

The gag game that Wilson ar
ranged for Congress in order to
shut out debate on the tariff was
played out as arranged and the
amendments that were in waiting
to be offered were smothered.
There will be one more chance at
that measure after the Senate rid
dies it, and that will be by the peo-
pie in the ensuing elections. Will
son cannot, with the aid of Crisp,
choke off that discussion.

There are few papers in Texas
that cannot forgive the LIGHT for
being Republican and for having
the courage Of it's conviction, but
these few do not count and only
emphasize the need of some one to
preach and teach the gospel of a
better political creed that the
Democracy SUI bscribe to.

When the Warrimoo passed
through this port on her last trip
she reported a clean bill Of heSlth,
but if accounts received from the
Fiji papers BY the same steamer
yesterday are true, there was n case
of measles on board when the steam
er left this port, which was not re-
ported to the health authorities
here.
According to the reports received,
a Mr.. Cunningham, a member Of the
Australian cricket team, was at
tackled by the disease when the
steamer was four days out from
Vancouver. He must have brought
the disease on board with him. He
occupied a cabin with Mr.. Victor
Cohen, the gentleman who went as
manager Of the cricket team. The
other inmate Of the cabin was lad
of about IA, a son Of Mr.. Cohen.
Ten days after the ship was out
young Cohen developed indications
OF measles, and was followed by
two little children of a Mrs. Le-
marie. The position was not very
comfortable, there not being any
sick bay" to which the patients
could be sent nor any medical as
sistance on board. However. the
best was done that was possible
under the circumstances.
DR.. Andrews, the port physician,
was asked yesterday whether the
officers Of the Warrimoo had made
any report Of the fact that any Of
the passengers had a contagious
disease.
"The Warrimoo reported q clear
bill Of health when she arrived, "
said he, and if there we're
measles aboard it was kept most
carefully from the authorities here.
This is the first intimation I have
received that everything was not
right on her last trip"

NATIVE SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
Quarterly Exhibition Held at Ks-
wsishso Church On Sunday.

The various Sunday Schools
connected with Kawaiahao met at
the old Stone church on Sunday
for the last quarterly exhibition Of
the year. Special preparations had
been made TO make the occasion
interesting and attractive, but al
though the day was perfect and
there were more visitors than
usual, the attendance of the
schools was smaller than at any
time before this year. Exhibitions
were made by the Kawaiahao
Seminary School, the Reform
School, Lunslilo Home, Waikiki
kai, Maunakiekie and Kakaako.
The Manoa and Pauoa Schools
failed to put in an appearance. Re
view lessons were given on The
Birth of Christ, Life of Paul and A
History of the International Les
sons and Temperance. All Of the
exercises passed off very creditably.
The singing was especially notice
able, particularly of the Kakaako
School, which possesses some singu-
larly fine voices, well trained. The
Reform School boys did themselves
credit. The Waikiki School made
the best appearance, having all
grades of scholars. Adults were
absent in some schools, where they
are generally plenty. Little chill
dren recited without hesitation
long passages of Scripture, a feat
in these lazy days.
The church was very tastefully
decorated, in part palms and flow
ers from Thursday evenings con-
cert. Considerable was added by
Miss Davidson, the teacher of the
Manoa school.
A number of tourists took in the
exhibition, and, from their express
sion of opinion, they enjoyed it.
While the attendance of the various
Sunday schools was small, larger
number of Hawaiians attended as
spectators than have been present
for many months.
At the close of the exercises, Mr..
Parker announced to the surprised
and pleased church that the gifts
of friends, with the amount realized
from the concert, had paid the
church debt, and for the first time
in many years the new year is en-
tered free from the burden of debt.
This fact will give strength and
courage to the church, which has
had s hard time for several years
past.

NEW YEARS DAY AT PEARL CITY
The Game With the Sailors a Walk
Over for the Kamehsmehas.

Between four and FIVE hundred
people went down on the o. r. &
L. Co.'S cars yesterday afternoon to
witness the baseball game between
the Kamehamehas and a picked
nine from the U. 5. 5. Philadelphia
and Adams. On arriving at
Remond Grove the passengers
hurried to the grounds in the rear
of the dancing pavilion, where some
of the Philadelphia and Adams
boys were already on the field
Very little time was lost in making
the preliminary arrangements, and
a little after 3 o'clock Messrs. 5.
Mahuka and McVoy, who were
chosen umpires, called the game.
The Kamehamehas were the first
to bat, and they scored four runs in
the first innings, for which they were
loudly cheered. The naval men
came next, bat they were put out
in short order without being able
to score.
There were no extraordinarily
good plays during the whole game,
except that Messrs. Meheula and
Koki, Of the home team, each made
a home run In the third and fourth
innings respectively.
Meheula pitched in biz uzual
good style, and he was nicknamed
Cyclone" By the naval men, either
for his heavy batting or for the
speed Of his ball.
Assistant-Surgeon Guest, Of the
Philadelphia, took Mahuka's place
as umpire in the fourth innings.
The Kamehamehas won the
game easily, the score being "a 70
