The above figures will DO interesting to such
as are disposed to reason by comparison; and
will doubtless surprise not few who have
been comfortable in the telief that things were
not so bad as represented. 1t will be nstruc-
tive to such as are capable of receiving ideas,
to note what might be called the equilibrium
preserved by Royal needs dnring the reigns
Of kamehamohas " and ", aud the singular
exaitations, as eoutrastcd herewith, that have
characterized the same under the reign of
Kalakaua. Things have alterly got so utterly
beyond logic, policy and precedent, as TO make
it an impossibilty to even guess what may
come next
Taking the time as included in the tables,
the average bionninl expenses incident TO the
support of royalty during the three preceding
rcigns, ammounted to little over $4,000 while
the average Ger that of tie existing reign, in
elusive of tie appropriations last passed,
amounts to somewhat over SOC 900: bat this
is exclusive OF the prospective expenditure for
the extra session Of the Legislature, purposed
to be convened in honor Of the coronation, and
other considerable items which have been in
advertantly omitted in the preparation of tho
tables. The income from the Grown lands
has also been pnrposely omitted.
In tho Legislature Of 1880, when Hon. 8. G.
Wilder was then Minister OF the Interior, in
reply to question from Member Of tho
House he stated thar the $4,000 then asked
would be amply sufficient TO complete tho New
Palace. II is TO be eupposed that he had some
knowledge Of What he was saying. But since
then, however il has been deemed expodient.
in addition thereto, TO expend the sum of
S2i6, 500 OF, an aggregate Of sums transferred,
IN most instances, from appropriations foy ,s4oes.
sary objects, comprising pnblic improvements,
repairs Of public works, water supply, and
essa NE public ksaM Now, tie character Of
our Legislature, and by what motives they
are governed, may be seen from the fact, that
while q great hue aud cry was being made
against tie iailhlessuess Of Ministers in trans
ierring certain appropriations, amounting in
all to less than slO0. 0t0, 10 purposes Of imni-
grafton, not a word Was heard OF tho $780,

PROCTOR KNOTrs STORY.
How a Delegation Of Rural BOOSTERS
Dlaed with A. 7. Stewart, In
New York, and
Occnpied His Private Box.
Journal. p

Courier-Journal, p.
Hon. j. Proctor Knott is a delight
full raconteur. He has a world of
good stories, and he spins them in a
way that betters them. Seated among
party of friends yesterday, he related
one, which isn't among the worst:
A number of years ago a party Of
Kentuekians swOoped down upon New
York City, "a-seein' of the sights" :"
Several of them were from the inte-
riOr of the State, and had never been
as far east before, while the leader, a
shrewd city citizen, glib OF tongue, pi-
loted the party through ways that
were queer and tricks that were equal
ly so. They happened upon Mr.. Knott
at one of the hotels and claimed him
for their own. He was the very man
they were looking for. Every sight
of the great city had been seen, ex-
cept A. I. Stewart, the merchant
prince. "Wouldn't he introduce
them y The hero of Duluth pro-
tested that Stewart knew nothing and
cared less for a country Congressman
like himself, and he had to decline.
lie finally convinced the delegation
that he couldn't accompany them, and
they filed slowly out of his room, after
expressing determination to seek
out and see the elephant on their own
hook.
Later on in the evening Mr.. Knott
sat in a parquette seat in Niblo's
Garden, iniently watching the show.
While gazing around at the strange
faces that lined the seats and peered
from the galleries, he was startled by
bow from the most elegant box in
the tier. Another head, dimly out
lined against the rich interior, courte-
sled, and his embarrassment and
curiosity became painful in its
intensity. A third person nodded and
smiled, and then only did be recognize
his Kentucky friends lolling around
in the luxurious quarters perfectly at
ease. At the head of the delegation
was A. I. Stewart himself, patronizing
and attentive.
How did you manage it2" asked
the Congressman of the leader next
day.
Easy enough. We deliberately
walked into his private Office after
leaving you and introduced ourselves.
We went on to say that we were from
Kentucky, and had arrived in New
York on an extensive pleasure trip,
during which we expected to see a
majority Of the great men America had
produced. We elaborated with glow
ing phrase and rounded period, and all
that, how we had seen Grant and the
other big dogs at Washington, but it
was the unanimous verdict of the
party that we shouldn't return home
until we lad seen the Napoleon of
commerce, A. T. Stewart. The old
gentleman was carried away with the
liberal supply Of taffy, aud when we
left it was only on a condition that we
should return later in the afternoon.
We did so and found an elegant supper
spread in the private office, after
eating which we were whirled away in
carriages to Niblo's Garden, and led
into the private box where you saw
