The EXPresdent Makes an Eloquent Address Before the
Chicago Union League Club In Celebration Of
WashingtOIs Birthday

lack Of commemorative enthusiasm,
which is SO related to our pride OF
sAmericanism, that If we could be GER
tain of its sufficiency we would gladly
accept it as conclusive. It has to do
with the underlying qualities and mo-.
/ tiYes Of our free institutions. Those
institutions had their birth and nur-
ture in unselfish patriotism and un-
reserved consecrati and by Ii de-
gree Of fate beyond recall or change
their perpetuity and beneficence are
conditioned on the constant devotion
and single-hearted loyalty of those to
whom their blessings are vouchsafed.
But after all why should we attempt
to delude ourselves? / am confident
that voice your convictions when I
say that no play of ingenuity and no
amount Of special pleading can frame
an absolutely creditable excuse for our
remissness in appropriate holiday OBJ
servance
l The commemoration OF the day on
which American independence was
born, has been allowed to lose much
OF its significance as reminder Of
Proyidential favor and the inflexible
patriotism of the fathers Of the repub-
!, lie. and has nearly degenerated to a
revel Of senseless noise and dangerous
explosion, leaving in It's train far more
LOT mishap and accident than lessons
of good citizenship or pride Of country.
The observance Of Thanksgiving Day
lis kept alive through its annual desig-
nation by federal and state authority.
But It is worth our while to inquire
whether its original meaning. ais a day
Of united praise and gratitude to God
for the blessings bestowed upon us as
q people and ais individuals, is not
Ismothered IN feasting and social In.
! dulgence. We In common with Chris
/ tian nations everywhere, celebrate
Christmasbut how much less as i
day Of .commemorating the birth Of the
Redeemer of mankind, than as day
of hilarity and the interchange Of gifts.
I will not without decided protest be
accused Of antago nizing or deprecating
ht-hearted mirth and jollity. On the
contrary. am an earnest advocate az
every kind Of sane, decent social en-
/ joyment, and all sorts OF recreation.
! But nevertheless feel that the allow
ance OF an incongruous possession BY
them Of our commemorative days is
evidence Of a certain condition, and Is
symtomatic Of popular tendency
which is by no means reassuring.
On this day, the Union League club
LOT Chicago should especially rejoice III
the consciousness Of patriotic accom-
lpaniment; and on this day Of ali 9th
ers, every one Of its members should
regard his membership al badge Of
honor. Whatever else the organization
may have done, 1t has justified It's ex.
istence and earned the applause Of
those whose love OF country il still I'm.
clouded BY the work 1t has done for
the deliverance Of Washington's birth.

Grover Cleveland was the orator Of the
day at the celebration of the anniversary
Of the birth Of George Washington,
which is annually held under the aus.
pices Of the Union League club of this
city Mr. Cleveland addressed an audi
ence that completely filed the great au-
ditorium and his Grafton was greeted
with every mani ton Of approval. He
dwell less upon the history and achieve
nlents Of Washington than upon the
soundness Of his political faith and the
accuracy Of his economic wisdom. The
patriotism and glory Of the country will
be, according to the speaker, unbounded
and imperishab1e if the precepts of
Washington are actively recalled and
in general closely followed. Mr.. Cleye-
land said in part
The American people are but little
given to the observance Of public holi-
days. This statement cannot be dis
posed Of by the allegation that our ma
tional history Is too brief to allow the
accumulation Of days deserving civic
commemoration. Though 1t Is true
that our life ais a people, according to
the standard measuring the existence
Of nations, has been a short one, it has
filed with glorious achievements: and
though it must be conceded that it is
Z not given to us to see In the magnify
ing mirage Of antiquity, the exagger-
ated forms Of American heroes, vet In
( the bright and normal Light shed upon
/ our beginning and growth, are seen
grand and heroic men who have won
imperishable honor and our eyerlast-
ing remembrance. We cannot there
fore excuse a lack OF commemorative
inclination and a languid interest In
recalling the notable incidents OF our
conntry's past under the plea Of lack
Of commemorative material; nor can
we IN this way explain our neglect
adequately to observe days which
have actually been set apart for the
especial manifestation Of our loving
appreciation Of the lives and the deeds
of Americans, who In crises of our
birth and development have sublimely
wrought and nobly endured.
II we are inclined TO look for other
excuses, one may occur to us which,
though by no means satisfying, may
appear to gain q somewhat fanciful
plausibility by reason Of its reference
to the law Of heredity It rests upon
the theory that those who secured for
American nationality it's first foothold,
and watched over its weak infancy,
were SO engrossed with the persistent
and unacceptable labors that pressed
upon them. and their hopes and aspira.
4 lions led them So constantly to
thoughts OF the future that retrospect.
I ton nearly became with them an ex.
tinct faculty, and that thus it may
have happened that exclusive absorb.

ent and future, became SO embedded
In their natures as to constitute trait
Of character descendibie to their pos.
terity even to the present generation.

MARINE ENGINEERS
TAKE No ACTION

The Marine Engineers Benevolent
Society held a meeting last night in
the Knights of Pythias hall, at which
there were over thirty members of the
profession present While nothing in
detail could be learned from those pres
ent in regard to what passed at the
meeting, it is said that the situation
was discussed but that no action to-
ward strike against the Inter-Island
company at the present time was taken.
The meeting held was regular one
of the lodge, which holds sessions semi
monthly Until the next meeting on
December 9, there will be nothing do
ing. That the question of strike is a
serious one with the men is also GER
tain, and if their demands are not
granted they will leave the employ
of the Inter-Island and seek other posi-
tions, as they claim that the scale of
wages is by no means commensurate
with the cost of living in Honolulu.

CHARLES CREIGHTON
PASSES AWAY. SUDDENLY

Charles Creighton. a practicing at
torney in Honolulu for over twenty
two years, died suddenly at nine
O'Clock yesterday morning, at the
home of his mother. He had been
about town on Sunday The end
came in commissions, to- which he had
been subject for many years. His
mother and a sister. Miss Agnes NJ.
Creighton, are his only relatives known
here. His father was the late Robert
u. Creighton, for two or three years
Minister of Foreign Affairs, who came
here with his family from San Fran
cisco early in 1885. Previous to his
residence in San Francisco the elder
Mr.. Creighton was in public life in
New Zealand, where Charles was bonn
somewhat over forty years ago.
The deceased attorney was a gradu-
ate of Hastings College, San Franchises
He was a keen and clever lawyer, able
in handling witnesses and juries, q
hard but fair hitter. In criminal bust
ness there We're few who outclassed
him when he was in good form. Even
in his most depressed periods natural
geniality oozed out in his demeanor,
In the stormy legislative session of
1892 he was a member of Queen Lii
cabinet, as Attorney Gene
raj. just for the fifteen minutes it took
the Legislature to pass a vote of want
of confidence after that particular new
was announced.
The funeral will take place from
Williams undertaking parlors at 8
o'clock this afternoon.

EXEMPTS HAVE
THE TRIANGLE.

At a meeting of the exempt ffremen
in their rooms on Water street last
night invitations were sent to the
Easton Niggertown Fire Company
and the Belleville exempts to partici-
pate in the firemen's parade in this
city October II. The members of the
Easton company dress like negroes
when on parade and have an excellent
band of their own. If they accept the
invitation they will come to this city
about fifty strong.
After the meeting last night the
eXempts prepared a spread for the
Washingtons from whom they say
they took the famous triangle several
weeks ago. Only six of the Washing
tons came to enjoy the feast. One
of the exempts acknowledged today
that they have the triangle. He said
that the relic is in such safe place
that nobody will disturb it before the
day of the parade.

WANT DAMAGES
FROM THE CITY

Chief Special Officer John K.Lodge,
of the Central railroad, was in this
city yesterday and made an investi-
cation into the injury of John Ear
lima, the fiagman who was run over
and seriously injured by a city wagon
August 6.
In a conversation with Mayor Boil
schweiler yesterday Mr.. Lodge said
that the railroad would endeavor to
make the city pay for the accident. He
said that he had interviewed the wit
nesses of the accident and had found
| that the driver, William Flowers, an
employe of the city, was clearly re-
! sponsible for the accident.
Mayor Bollschweiler said this
morning that he will interview the
! witnesses and see whether or not the
railroad can blame the city for the
| accident The gates were not in work
/ ing order at the time and the mayor
thinks that the city cannot be held
responsible.
Mr.. Lodge also interviewed DR.. F.
c. Henry, who attended Zarinna, to
determine the extent of the mans in
juries.
