A SUCCESSFUL BALL.

One of the most successful balls
Butte has ever had was the first an
nual ball of the police department held
last evening in the Auditorium. The
place was crowded with merry dancers
and interested spectators. Splendid
music was at hand and an enjoyable
list of "a dances proved none too much
for the policemen and their friends.
The committees all performed their du-
ties in excellent style and the ball was
pronounced one of the best managed
affairs of the kind Butte has had. The
fund raised from the ball will be used
by the police to relieve such worthy
cases of restitution as may come under
their notice. About 900 tickets were
sold and the sum realized from the ball
will be large.

WHEN ALL ARE ABSOLUTELY
GOOD

The query whether, when the
millennium is reached and all peo-
pie are absolutely good, there will
be any poor people forms the topic
of an interesting discussion in the
Chicago Advance, a Congregational
publication. 1t is well said that
the question is more curious than
practical, and one which the people
OF this generation or a good many
to follow will never see the solution
of. The Biblical promise that "the
poor shall never cease out of the
land" might dishearten the semi
religionists who want the mission
aries to stay away from Africa be-
cause the poor heather there will
be better off in the next world if
they are relieved of the response
bility of ever having been enlight-
ened beyond the most barbarous
heathenism. They would let the
rich take care of themselves, and
the poor make the best of it.
The writer in the Advance,
however, seeks to show that
the poor, ministered to in the love
and wisdom of the Gospel, become
the riches of the social fabric.
Here, again, those classed as
Gods poor might raise the
objection that their large bank
account, in the. general uplift-
ing of society, was entirely too
theoretical and lacking in the
practical returns that minister to
physical comforts. But the poor
mans conscience is clearer than
the one whose responsibilities to-
ward his fellow men are greater
simply on account of his wealth.
In a strictly moral sense the prop
erty of the rich man is constantly
encountered with the wants of the
poor, and he is constantly schem-
ing to pay his debts. Steward
ship is the solution of our prob
blems of rich and poor, capital and
labor, the wise and the unWise,
and not some pagan device to-
oppres or annihilate the poor, nor
some communistic scheme to scale !
possessions down to a dead level |

SENATOR Brown says the relative
amount of taxes paid and appro-
priations received by the different
islands is a matter within the dis
cretionary powers of the Finance
Committee to make public. There
is reason why these figures should
not be made public. The desire to
know the moneys paid to each
island may be simply the result of
little rivalry between the islands,
but it is a matter in which the
public is interested. The Minister
of Finance has the comparative
figures at his command has Of
fered to make them public, and we
know of no reason why anyone
should stand in the way of his
doing it.

IT IS always with combined feel
ings of regret and pleasure that a
community learns of the retire
ment of one of its active business
men. Success merits congratula-
ton but at the same time the
business community never likes to
loose the active associates of one of
the staunch mem bers. Mr.. Alex
ander Young whose contemplated
retirement has been announced has
well earned the rest from business
cares which he now contemplates.
His business career has been most
successful one and although he
gives up the personal management
of the corporation with which he
has been most prominently con-
nected, his capital and progressive
influence will continue to be CEN
tired here and the people of Hawaii
will share in the benefit.

come depends in large measure or

If commerce treats the poor as
utilities, it becomes hard and de-
humanized if culture treats the
poor with contempt, it becomes
narrow, selfish and punctiliously
coarse; a ministry that does not
minister to the poor is leavened
with the leaven OF the Pharisees
and Sadducees. Wealth broadens,
strengthens and purifes when it is
consecrated culture dignifies in
proportion to its lowliness, and its
height is measured by the breadth
of it's sympathies."
1t is undoubtedly healthful, moral
exercise to contemplate what classes
will be reckoned as poor, and what
the conditions will be when all
people are absolutely good" Al
though it is reaching after infnity,
it has a tendency to cause people
to remember that there is something
besides a commercial scale on
which to base their thought and
action, and an equitable division of
dollars and cents will not complete
the happiness of mankind"
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-02-29

THE preliminary report of the
Minister of Finance shows that in
our country, where the corporation
interests are predominant, these
interests pay only three-ffths the
amount of taxes paid by individ-
uals. When individuals pay direct
taxes amounting to $92, 267 rs, and
corporations, whose returns to the
Interior Department show an in
vested capital of $27, 100000, pay
only $4,000 81, the people ought
to suggest to their representatives
that the individuals have carried
the major burden long enough. If
some of the men who are so anx-
ious for an opium revenue would
turn their attention to more
equitable adjustment of the tax
system, they would discover a
source of revenue that would put
opium in the shade. They would
at the same time be doing the peo-
pie of the country service which
would not be questioned as to its
good influence and beneficial re-
turns.
