board OF managers of the international
union and the delegates was made by Rev.

PAN-AMERlCAN CONGRESS.

Notable Religious Gathering in To-
rontO--Objects of the Meeting.
Religion and education. the supreme
forces of moral and intellectual progress,
were the themes discussed before the
Pan-American Congress of Religion and
Education, which assembled at Toronto.
This congress may be considered as the
legitimate fruitage of the great parlia-
ment of religions of 1893, which set in
motion and gave powerful impetus to
those forces which make for unity among
the people of the earth. The object of the
Pan-American congress is to bring all
who are interested in the spread of the
true gospel into closer association, one
with another and into sympathetic rela-
tionship in all the great educational,
phllanthropic and reform movements of
modern Christianity.
The inaugural session OF the congress
opened at the Horticultural Pavilion in
the presence of several thousand citizens
and delegates. On the platform, which
was handsomely decorated, sat Lieut..
Gov. Kirkpatrick, the Rev. S. G. Smith
of st. Paul. President of the congress;
Mayor Kennedy, and many other dis
tinguished persons. The chair was occu-

INDIANA LAW is DEFEATED.
Legislative Apportionnnent act IS De-
clared Unconstitutional.

A suit to test the constitutiouality OF
the Indiana legislative apportionmcnt act
passed by the last General Assembly was
brought in the Circuit Court at Sullivan
and argument in support of the PROPOSE
tons advanced by plaintiffs were made
by Senator Turpie, eX-Congrcssman

1t was claimed that under article /, sec
tons and 3, of the Constitution, the
General Assembly had no power to enact
a law either by repeating valid and exist
ing laws or by passing new laws upon tie
subject; that the law was passed at an IN
constitutional period and not at n session
immediately following an enumeration OF
voters, as provided by the Constitution.
1t was also claimed that the new law de-
prived the counties of Nigo, Nermillion
and Sullivan of one Joint representation
A writ Of date was asked, restraining the

British Elections.
At the close of the polls throughout
Great Britain Wednesday the returns
showed that 40S members, out of a total

far are decisive, and all that shall occur
hereafter will merely enlarge the proper

bers already chosen DOG are tories and
"unionists." Only 112 members of all
shades of the opposition have been elected.
OF this number but 20 are regular liberals
of the Gladstone school. This is not a
mere revolution. The liberal party is
wiped out. 1t is not possible that out of
the 240 or go members yet to be elected
that party will secure enough TO make n
formidable opposition to any measure
which the tory government may propose

Observations.

To the man, possibly men,
of our nineteen rulers who
does any thinking we commend
two expressions of a recent
writer on peoples and Govern
ments. The one runs this
wise; the writer "did not re-
gard a government worth pre-
serving that was in danger
from it's own citizens" Now
it goes without saying that the
great majority Of the citizens
of these islands are not in
sympathy with the nineteen
who have set themselves up as
q government. 1t is an open
secret that the nineteen are
not in sympathy each with the
other; that there are grave
differences of opinion between
the individuals comprising the
nineteen; and, if the Bulletin
is to be believed, there is a rift

in social life and in the trade and

The reception was in the form
of a garden party, being held on
the lawn in the rear of the Com
nissioner's residence on Kinau
street. Extensive borders of
whits and scarlet fabric alternat-
ing draped the fences and served
as a windbreak. A detached cot.
tage was used as reception
pavilion. A large awning had
been erected over the steps and
the front of the building was lit
orally covered with flags of diff
ferent nations, British ens'gns
tastefully arranged being the
central pieces. Barn and Car

with flags, and, in short, gay

1t is in the air, we cannot
trace the rumor to a reliable
source, that the revenues Of
our unhappy republic are fall
ling away and that its expenses
are increasing. In fact the
figures we have are that the
revenues so far this year are
$150,000 less than for the cor
responding term last year, and
that the expenses are $4,000
greater. This is burning the
candle at both ends. We have
either to obtain more revenue,
spending less, or go bankrupt.
With such a prospect it is hard
for a taxpayer to be patient
while the government keeps
up a military and a police
establishment entirely out OF
proportion to it's needs. But
the government goes further
and keeps up useless patrol
of the waters between and
around the islands, in the hope
of-what? If to prevent the
smuggling Of opium why not
make q short cut and find out
what the Custom House ring
knows about the drug. If to
prevent the landing of men
and arms on the shores of these
islands, then why make them
selves ridiculous with such a
show of force? So far we are
told that the first cruise of the
Lehua landed an albicore, and
the second an ulua, and the
third the Port Surveyor. But,
putting joking aside, we say
seriously that the self-appoint-
ed junta that spends our taxes
had better take counsel of their
own adherents, for the pocket
of a p. G.. man is as sensitive
to a new tax levy as that of a
monarchist. Comparisons are
odious and just now they are
rife in the ranks of both P.G.'s

in the Cabinet that makes for
discord; that the nineteen be-
lleve, in this they may be a
unit, that their government is
'in danger from it's own citi-.
zens,"' otherwise why is the
city like a military camp, and
why do we hear of armed
organizations on Hawaii and
Maui where there have been
no evidences of armed opposi-
tion! The other expression
runs thus: "The theory is,
that a nation that cannot be
held together by love of coun.
try, ought not to be pinnet
together by bayonets." This
aphorlsm might proftably b.
considered by each of ou
nineteen rulers and their mino
rity of citizens; but it surel.
deserves the attention and con
sideration ofthe majority. NOV

that we are not revolutionist'

and collectively, how under ii

The Minister of Finance has

months ending December 3lst,
1894. According to the report
it is seen that the expenditures
of the Government for the last
two years have exceeded the
income by nearly $4,000 a
month or about $3.50 a day.
What the end will be is a pro-
blem of some interest to the
taxpayers. The report does
not show how much the Gov
ernment owes around town.
