PENSION BUILDING CHOSEN
AS the Place for Holding the Inaug.
ural Ball.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The general in,
all arrangements for the Inauguration of
President Mckinley, held meeting tonight
and finally disposed Of a matter which has
agitated the citizens of the district very much
of late by selecting the pension office build
ing as the place for the grand inaugural ball.
People Of an esthetic turn Of mind had been
very apprehensiye that the beautiful and still
incomplete library building was to be used
for this purpose, but when Mr.. Hanna with
drew his suggestion to that effect the ball
was easily set for the pension building court
which has before served like purpose. The
general committee at tonight's meeting also
selected a full list of subcommittee to take
charge of all the details of the approaching

police department shows the largest deficit
having exceeded its appropriation by 81 1870
In the assessors department, the appropria-
ton was also exceeded to the extent of
$905. CO. This apparent deficit should be ex-
planned by the fact that another deputy in

salary paid from another fund. The fire de-

Senator John M. Thurston, of Nebras-

some time that the condition of things
IN Cuba could not be allowed to exist

hold out against Spain for any length
Of time, in spite of the extraordinary
efforts Of the mother country to ouelI
the uprising.
That being the case, I believe We
are justified in bringing about the in
dependence Of the Cuban people. This
government, by its position as the first
great republic of the new world, holds
position Of responsibility and trust.
In addition to that, our people have
very great property and commercial
interests in Cuba that are being de-
stroyed by existing conditions Spain

The manner in which the citizens of
Hilo are berated and belittled by pa
per of the capital is not calculated to
promote the good feeling which in the
natural course of affairs should obtain
between the first and second cities of
the land. 1t is not likely that the cap
ital of the great island has more than
the ordinary proportion or percentage
of calamity howlers, street statesmen,
disappointed politicians or incapable
individuals crying down the state Be
cause of their own shortcomings.
There is ample evidence that Honolulu
has her full quota of these gentry.
They are held in check and kept in the
background here just as they can he
handled in Hilo Within the latter
place there are many pioneers and
many newcomers as we'll who have the
proper conception of government and
of progress and whose familiarity with
the conditions" is not to be ques-
toned. They are good men and true
who are not to be lectured as boys or
incompetents. Let the community of
Hio Bay be measured by the acts of
the responsible, conservative men, not
ment found everywhere. Then will
be found that the destinies of the town
are in the hands of intelligent men
who have good records and who VII
work out results creditable to their
little city and to the Republic. There
appears to be some confusion and
some struggle on the surface at Hilo.
But The Star has noticed the place
has solid section which takes hold at
the critical time and which responds
promptly and effectively when there is
call from the capital. There is prob
ably not a bit more political grumbl-
ing at IIilo than right here in Homo
lulu and distance from the center
would logically make more. The men
there who are doing all in their pow
err for the governmental and material
advancement of the region deserve
better than ridicue. If they err il
makes no occasion for branding them
as unworthy. Most of them are amen
able to reason. Few of them, if they
are the men The Star supposes then
to be, will fail to resent downright
abuse.
