A GRAND SUCCESS.

The Mother Hubbard Masked Ball Very
Enjoyable Affair.
The Mother Hubbard masked ball,
which was given at Hotel Salem Thurs.
day night by the proprietor WAS indeed
an ideal ball.
Shortly before o'clock the invited

beautiful, unique, gaudy and interest
ing. At $3.50 o'clock the ballroom was
open, and to the strains OF familiar
march, Mr.. Jesse Floyd. with Il. A.
Roberts. Jr led the grand march.
Mr.. Floyd's attire was simply lugu-
brious, and In voice as deep as the
thunder Of cannon" he called out,
first lady to right" etc.
" Is indeed diffioult TO describe the
costume Of Mr.. Roberts, but with a
short dress and golden hair hanging
down his back" he made an appearance
quite impressive.
The scene, presented to the eye. was
a composition of beauty, weirdness and
fanciful costume.
At 1890 every one present, about
twenty five couples, unm asked.
Mr.. Floyd then gracefully led the
german until near the solemn hour OF
midnight, when all repaired to the din
ing room, where delightful refreshments
were served.
After having partaken of the hospi.
ta]ity of the host the assembly re-
entered the ballroom where the german
was continued under the skillful guild

TIE 1LLAHAN CA.SE.

The Callahan case has again ex-
-emplifed the defects of our criminal
laws. Its in only a repetition of the
:farces called trials, still further
bringing the law into contempt.
Yet ND one can ascribe the miscar-
rage to any dereliction on the
part of the prosecutor, for he has
we'll done his work; no one can
'impagn the honesty and upright
ness of the judges, for they have
also acted justly and according to
the law. The fault lies in the Prac-
tice of the law, which permits tech
nicalities. Under the word techni-
calites are included so much that
to ingenious attorneys, the defeat
,of justice becomes an easy matter.
To the lay mind it seems that often
times that if little more common
sense and little less legS! nicely
were used in trials that there would
be a marked improvement. But as
it is, SO much care is used to pre-
vent an injustice to an individual,
that society finds ftseF continually
outraged. Evidently then we need,
and need badly, some remedial
Legislation, not a makeshift MOI
patchwork, but a thorough over
hauling of the laws. Certainly
there should be available men who
are competent to devise a method
of procedure which would remove
the Objectionable technicalities'
At present it is possible to pro-
long or postpone trial indef'
nitely, and when the lawyers agree
to trial, defeat the whole case or
a technically.
| By all means some effort shoulc
be made to correct and revise the
law as it now stands. 1t may cos
the State large sum of money; bu
it will in the end save it more. BY
removing the temptation to COMM
wrong by placing certain punish
ment, the criminal expenses will b
reduced more than enough to over
paw the sum expended.

The Topic OF The Hour.

Within the past year, and es-
pecially within the last six months,
finance has taken, as topic of
press discussion, the place occupied
for several years past by the tariff.
Contradictory and irreconcliable as
are the positions, complex and con-
fused as are the arguments. of the
political parties and leaders Of the
country upon the tariff question,
they are no less SO upon the ques-
ton of finance. The great Politi-
cal problem of the day in the
United States is the problem Of re-
forming the National currency.
The man or woman who pretends to
be well informed will not be con-
tent to learn the views Of few
newspapers only upon the financial
and other questions of the hour,
but will seek in some way to get
survey Of the press discussion in
| al parts of the country and upon
all sides of the question at issue.
There is no way to get such sur
vey except by reading a journal
that gives extracts and condensed
statements from all the leading rep
resentative papers and reviews.
Such a journal is PUBLIC OPINION,
published weekly at Washington, D.
c. In its particular field it is
unique and unrivaled. It covers
the entire range of current news and
comment, political, sociological,
financial, scientific, religious, liter
airy, both American and foreign.

urated an exceedingly helpful plan

Congressman Sibley, the only
Eastern Democrat in Congress who
favors the free coinage of silver,
made a speech one day recently in
which he took occasion to split the
President up and down the spinal
column with no delicate modesty.
He described the Mighty MugwumP
as ssa combination Of brains, brass
and belly" an Alternative definition
which provoked deafening applause
both on the floor and in the galleries
of the House.-Louisiana Appeal.
That is a very good inventory,
and puts the assets at their highest
value.-Shreveport Progress.
In applying such language to the
chief executive the Pennsylvania
CONGRESSMAN has made an indecent
display of himself. A man who
has enough sense to be elected tc
Congress and descends to the art OF
the common blackguar': is
stranger combination, in our opin'
ion. Our Populist friends will dc
their cause no good by filling thei
columns with such disgusting rot.

measure wise enough to save the

hard to even guess. President Cleve-

CORRUPTION Nv HIGH
CES.

The revelations of the Lexow
the disclosures of cor
ruption in New Orleans, Chicago,
and other large cities, should make
US pause and ask why these things
should be so. Long ago money
has been branded as the root OF all
evil, and undoubtedly that is the
one cause which has so debauched
the municipal governments OF the
day. Money per Sc is an excellent
institution in that it facilitates com
mcrce and makes possible progress
i've civilization; but unfortunately
pfosperity introduces luxury, and
develops a love of display. This
soon creates classes, and it is the
natural ambition of man to rise.
In our land at present, money is the
passport and money the mean
which sustains the classes, SO that
there seems now one universal de-
sire for wealth. Since our public
conscience ignores the means taken
to secure wealth and bows in hon.
age to it's possessor, there is no
restraint placed upon dishonesty
provided it be successful. With
such a public opinion, honor and
probity lose their virtue, and there
is nothing surprising when we find
corruption in high places, especial
ly, where office is for sale to the
highest bidder, and an honest eiec'
ton the dream of our forefathers.
Corruption is not to be legislateo

where the people are sovereigns, II
cannot be expected that the officer:

When honesty becomes badge O
honor, purity of life title OF nobll
ity, and beneficience the admiration
of all men, then and then only
