THERE is entirely too much gush
about this reception business in Canada.
The residents there Tor most of theml
are ready to initiate Sir Walter Raj

Offering their cloaks for carpets upon
which Lorne and Louise might tread.
Even the press effervesces with a gush
that is humiliating and which UNDER
mines its dignity. Here is a sample Of
a two column article In the Halifax
Chronicle: son a far off isle, on a
mighty nation, the mother of nations,

of millions in England and millions in

Tea Culture.

The introduction Of tea seed
from the Patent Office in this
community has led to much dis
cussion as to the practicability
Of its cultivation with a view to
profit. Several years ago Col.
Rice, former American Consul
in japan, came here with view
to engage in tea culture. From
several years experience in ia
pan and an examination of the
soil and climate of this section
he came to the conclusion that
all the conditions here were IA
vorable to the tea culture, and
he only abandoned the project
because he found that the labor
necessary for picking and curing
could not be had here on terms
that would make it practicable
to compete with the productions
Of Japan and China. 70 employ
Cinnamon here to do that work
would cost ten times Us much as
the same labor could command
in their own country. Tea has
been successfully raised in Geor-
gia and some others Of the
Southern States, but the cost Of
preparing it for market pre-
cludes its cultivation for profit.
The cultivation of small quaint
ties fer domestic use might be a
matter Of economy i'll families,

Hard Times.
ness.

The complaint of hard times
is in the mouth of every body at
the present time, and yet the
city and country is in as pros
porous condition as it ever was.
There bas been no calamity, no
shrinkage of values, no falling
off in products. The mills are
all running on full time; 500 tons
of coal are delivered upon ship
board daily; the manufacturing
establishments are all running
and some Of them increasing
their capacity; the demand for
merchandise is as great as ever,
and the only trouble is, that
there is not sufficient Of the cir
cul2ting medium to meet the
business demands of the count
ry, and hence the despondjng
imagine that this cityis going
to ruin. The cause of the present
financial crisis is, that there has
been more money invested in
permanent improvements than
our immediate products would
command, and there has been no
surplus capital, and no money
brought here from abroad for
investment. All the money or
property owned here has been
made here, and all the coal and
lumber which is now being ship
ped goes abroad to pay for the
railroad and improvements in
the coal mines and none return
ing to supply the requirements
of trade. The town is none the
poorer for this; but it Is very
embarrassing i'll carrying on our
ordinary business. This state
of things cannot last so long as
our resources. remain what they
are. With exports aggregating
81 ,co0.GC9 yearly and constant
IL increasing, it cannot be other
wise than that capital will eventu-
ally flow back upon US in suffi
cienL amount to meet the refieAre-
ments of trade.

John Randolph Outdono.

Here is one of the many amusing
anecdotes of this eccentric man of Koa-
noke. He was travelling through part
of Virginia in which he was acquainted,
and stopped during the night at an inn
near the forks of the road. The inkeep>
er was fine old gentleman. and no
doubt belonged to one of the first fami
lies of the Old Dominion.
Knowing who his distinguished guest
was. he endeavored during the evening
to draw him into conversation, but
failed in all his efforts. But In the
morning, when Mr.. Randolph was
ready to start, he called for his bill,
which, on being presented, was paid.
The landlord still anxious to have some
conversation with him, began as fol-
lows:
(which way are you travelling, Mr..
Randolph"
"Sir?" said Mr.. Randolph. with a
look of displeasurs.
Il asked" said the landlord, (which
way you are traveling?"
"Have 1 paid you my bill?"
eyes"
"Do owe you anything more?"
No."
"Well, I'm going just where 1 please.
Do you understand"
Eyes"
The landlord by this time got some
what excited. and Mr.. Randolph drove
off. But, to the landlords S surprise in
few minutes the servant returned to
inquire for his master which of the
forks of the road to take. Mr.. Randolph
not being out OF hearing distance, the
landlord spoke at the top Of his
BREATH
"Mr. Randolph. you don't owe me
one cent, just take which road you
please"
1t Is said that the air turned blue with
the curses of Randolph.

Honest InYestIN erts."

The Tacoma Herald, in speak
ing OF the speeches made on the
Northern Pacific Railroad bill,
says: " Mr.. WindOm's speech
was by far the most infiuential
Of the number. He presented
the subject in its most compre-
hensive light, untrammeled as he
was by pledges or professions Of
servility to the Claims or de
mands Of any particular local
NY"
The "untrammeled" Mr.. Win
! dom is good. \ man who was
, connected with the company,
the most of the time as a direct
or. when it was notoriously un-
der the control of a land ring,
composed of private spectators
who used the subsidy to advance
their own personal fortunes in
utter disregard of the interests
of the public or the stock-hold-
ers. Mr.. Window says: at
has been said that these eight
thousand five hundred stock
holders, who have put nearly
$50, 100000 Of actual cash into
this enterprise were the thought
less victims of enthusiastic
dreamers or dishonest specula-
tors, and hence are not entitled
to the favorable consideration of
the country. l Indignantly re-
pei this charge and will endeav-
or to show that it is wholly un-
founded" If Mr.. Window knew
this charge 20 be wholly un-
founded, why did he not show
it? As Director Of the COM
pany, he was in a condition to
show how this $4,000 600 of ac-
tual cash paid in by stockhold-
ers had been expended. Take,
for example, their operations
upon this coast: One hundred
and five miles Of railroad were
constructed, which, under a ju-
dicious expenditure of cash,
would not have cost to exceed
S4, 200, ,000-S40,00 permile. On
this the company received $685.
GOO acres of land, valued at
$3.50 per acre S6, 100000. A
large portion of this land has
been sold above. not an acre be-
|
low, the appraised value. The
land is worth, in actual cash, all
that it was appraised at; max
ing a clear profit to the COM
pany of s2,52o,000 On 1O5 miles
of road, without being out dol
lar of their own actual cash. In
addition to this there are the
town sites which were donated
to the company and by the Di-
.rectors transferred to the land
ring gratuitously; thus robbing
the honest stockholders and
bondholders Of their rights. The

about one-third of the nomina-
tiens. The ticket is as fellows:

If this arrangement was made
only with Il view to command
the best public services, il is
very sensible. There is no rea-
son why any mans political
views should disqualify him for
clerical services. That is the
very spirit and intent Of what is
called "civil service reform"
which both political parties have
endorsed. There is no good
reason why public services
should not be discharged under
the same general economy which
governs in private affairs. No
good business man ever thinks
of applying political party test
to his employees. No good citi-
zen of tolerant views regards
the political sentiments of his
lawyer, doctor, minister or
school master, as a test of his
merits IN his profession. Why,
in the name OF common sense.
IS that made Il test in the en-
plOymcnt Of men in The ordi-
nary evil service of the coun-
Try. Ia making public position,
with merely clerical functions,
the reward of party service, to
be bought, sold and traded for
through the machinery of party
caucus, is the great curse of pop
ular government, and the sooner
it is done away with the better
it will be for the country. The
Portland Standard apologises for
the action Of the Democratic
convention on the ground that it
was the only way in which a
portion of the offices in that
county could be secured to Dem
ocrats. If the explanation had
been that it was the only way in
which the most capable and hon
est officers could be secured, no
apology would have been neces-
sary. 1t has been the custom of
mere party politicians to de-
nounee and rule outof the party
those citizens who exercise
freeman's right to vote for can
didates of different political
views. But it is regarded as le-
gitimate to do 50 under an ar
rangement for a division of the
spoils, through caucus arrange
ment. How can we expect ever
to reform our civil service but
through the independent action
Of the voters? Party organiza-
ton is not only useful but nee
essary in directing the general
policy Of the government, both
State and general; but becomes
public curse when its ma
chinery is used for personal
ends in directing the division of
the spoils Of office.
