The Mayor Refused TO Grant a Permit for
the salt River Mother Hubbard Parade
The Salt River Mother Hubbard
demonstration did not demonstrate
last night as intended. The Mayor re-
fused to grant the marchers a permit
to march. and consequently the boys
gave the idea up at the last moment.
Considerable interest and preparation
had been made for the affair and
many were disappointed. They how
ever. decided to abide by the wishes
of the Mayor and not transgress the
municipal authority.
While there is no ordinance which
requires a permit TO parade, yet the
Mayor has it in his power 70 stop any
demonstration when ne thought prop
er. Mayor Caldwell stated yesterday
when asked for a permit that he wish
ed that all demonstrations of a polit-
zeal nature should cease with the end
of the campaign.
In addition to this many objections
have been made to granting permits
TO any more so-called Mother Hub
bard parades, it being alleged that
upon the occasion of the last affair
of that kind many offensive remarks
had been made by some of the march
ers in line and that insulting remarks

HOW WOULD HAWAII COME IN?
The Boston Globe calls attention TO
the departure of Hon. John w. Foster
for Honolulu. and points out that this
mission appears to be q special one
and i'm connection with Hawaiian an
uexatiou. q scheme which this talented
Diplomat is understood TO favor, and
which. it is said. strongly commends
itself TO- President-elect Mckinley.
But the Hawaii Of to-day is not at all
i'm the position in which she found her
self when President Harrison
brought forward his plans for annex
ING her to- this country The white
residents of thc islands have had some
years of experience in local self-goy-
eminent They enjoy some, at least,
of the privileges of autonomy. Polit-
zeal leadership counts for something
more i'm Hawaii. independent, than it
would be likely to DO with Hawaii as
territory. or even as part of o State.
The ruling whites may not be willing
t1 accept status which might have
been acceded TO i'm Mr.. Harrison's time
without demur on their part.
ming that annexation should
again be proposed, what would be the
characteristics and conditions of the
scbeme2
Hawaii as represented by Mr. Dole
and his associates would probably OBJ
iect to- coming under the Stars and
Stripes merely as a territory, with gov
ernors appointed over her. Nor would
She be likely to view with approval
any plan TO make her a county of Cal
ifonia or auyother Pacific State. She
has enjoyed local self-government
But a proposition to invest the Ha-
waHan islands with Statehood, as an
immediate result of annexation, GER
ainly would arouse strong objection
i'm some quarters. The right of the
Kanakas to greater consideration and
influence than they now enjoy. the
question as to- the status under the pro-
posed new regime of the Japanese and
other emiuants-these and other mat
ters would evoke discussion and call
for settlement.
Hawaiian annexation may come, but
there are good many things to be
considered before President Harrison's
pet scheme is realized.

POLITICAL NOTES.


Some Of the members of a South Side
Church are criticising the action of their
pastor i'm taking part i'm recent political
demonstration. The reverend gentleman
walked i'm the midst of the parade and
his appearance was noticed and comment
cd on by many people. Those who have
felt reason to complain think that he
has lowered the dignity Of his calling by
participating i'm a partisan blowout in
defiance of precedent and custom. The
same gentleman is also said TO have given
ofeuse by INDUCING in uncomplimentary
remarks about the principles of one of
the political parties i'm a way that was
hardly dignided or commendable.
Squire J. w. Schultze. of the South
Side. is benie urged by some of his friends
as a candidate for the Republican nomin-
alton for Mayor. The Squire will prove
"a formidable opponent TO the other Re
publican candidates who are willing TO
have the honor bestowed upon them.
Much speculation exists as to who will
be Wheeung's next postmaster Mr.
George Wise is known to be a seeker for
this fat office and it seems to he the opin-
ion among many of the Republicans that

Tt is asserted that the new tariff bill

Machinery is a monthly iouru

Machinery is a monthly journal
published at johannesburg, South
Africa. In a recent number is an
account of a most remarkable clock
belonging to a Hindo prince, which
the editor thinks the strangest
piece of machinery il India. Near
the dial Of an ordinary looking
clock is a large gong hung on
poles, while underneath, scattered
on the ground, is pile ofartifcial
human skulls, ribs, legs and arms,
the whole number of bones in the
pile being equal to the number of
bon IS in twelve human skeletons.
When the hands OF the clock in
dictate the hour Of 4, the number of
bones needed to form a complete
human skeleton come together
with snap, by some mechanical
continuance the skeleton springs
up, seizes inallet, and walking
up to the gong, strikes one blow.
When O'Clock, two skeletons get
up, and strike, while at the hour
of noon and midnight the entire
heap spring up in the shape Of
twelve skeletons. and strikes, each
one after the other, a blow on the
gong, and then fall to pieces, as
before.
