HUBBELL's DRAG-NET,
Some DiscreditabIe Work of the
Republican COngressiOn-
al Committee.

one-legged soldier, who is door
Keeper in the House of Representatives.
met a friend of his who happens to be q
western Democratic Congressman, a Ciay
OF TWO ago, and said, with some ankle
ty: don't know what to do about a
circular l got this morning from tha
congressional Committee asking me for
$2S. Twenty-eight dollars is a big lot
or money for poor fellow to pay out for
nOthlng. 1t Is very hard on me-" The
congressman made answer Don't pay
cent. You need all your small SALARY
for your family. If any one offers to
dlsplace you come to me at once, and we
Will ask the House of Representatives
about it."
The opposition circular sent to all the
clerks in Government offices here by tha
Civil Service Reform Committee in New
York has had bad effect on the temper
of MIR. Jay Hubbell, of the Congressional
Committee, and some of the sub-cOllee-
tors of assessments. They would not care
much about these circulars if it were not
that they check the stream of money
flowing in. A good many clerks do not
want to pay they cannot afford to ; they
have hardly got square with the world
after the repeated and cruel assessments
levied under Mr.. Hayes for the Garfield
campaign, and the poor fellows hold
back hoping that the President will be
kind-hearted enough to take their part
and interpOse to stop what hundreds of
these poor clerks, with wives and child
rem dependent on them, feel to be no
more than highway robbery, or that pub
lie Indignation will put stop to the
| whole mean business.
Meantime question is to be raised in
the House of Representatives next week
on the subject, or rather two questions
first, whether the Republican Congress
| slOnal Committee mean really to COM
NIT the indecency of insisting on the
| servants of the HOuse-its pages and
| dOOrkeepers-paying an assessment, as
they have been asked to do and second,
whether the leVying of the assessments
upon and paying of money to executive
| officers of the Government to secure the
election of the legislative branch is not
gross breach of privilege and an un-
| constitutional interference by one
branch of the Government with the for
nation of another. A third question is
much discussed-namely, what use is to
be made of the great sum of money
which Is getting raised by the Congress
| siOnal Committee. 1t will amount to
between 100000 and $500,O00. 1t is alb
surd to pretend that all this, or nearly
all, can be used for distributing docu-
ments and paying hired speakers, What
are they going to do with it ?-[ Wash

Some statistics show the decrease in
the use of liquor in the British Islands
during the last five years. Alcohol paid
into the Treasury in 1874, $155, 100000.
In 1881 the sum was reduced to $145,-
100000. The average yearly expendi-
ture on drink of each English man, wO-
man and child in 1875 was more than
500, and in 1881 fell to no less than SIC.
The effect of this diminutiOn in the use
of stimulants is shown in the immedi-
ate increase in the amount of money
deposited in the Savings Banks. In
1880 the working classes deposited
$285, 100000. In 1881 there were depos-
its amounting to 1925, 100000 in the old
savings banks, and in the postal savings
banks, just established, over $185, ,0O0,-
600. All these savings, however, do not
yet amount to 10 per cent. of the money
spent in liquor.

SPEAKING of the composition of the
Tariff Commission the New York Herald
writes:
of ms rs CoP1fseG WHOLLY ad 'ne inGetese thH
consumers nor the WOrkingmen are
represented upon it. But we cannot
make believe that we are surprised. We
never seriously expected any other sort
of commission. The commission busi-
ness in it's inception was a trick to post
pOne the duty of an immediate revision
of the tariff to help relieve the country
from the surplus taxation of hundred
and fifty million dollars year. We ex-
pect the trickery to continue to the close.

Among the words which Mr.. Skeats,
author Of the new chronological Die
tionary," can not find the origin of is
"pole-cat." This shows the folly of
writing on a subject before consulting
all authorities that are in print. If Mr..
Skeats had read the work of the late la
mented American etymologist, Artemus
Ward, he would have learned that the
name is so called because it is a variety
of cat that must be killed with pole,
if the killer has any regard for his
clothing; further, that the proper
length for the pole, except when the cat
is to windward, is three hundred and
sixty-fiYe feet.-New York Herald.

TADAPTED FROM FOR NANDER's ''POLY-
NEsIAN RACE" BY X. u.iK.J 80
Many generations ago there dwelt
on the island of Oahu at Lihue, In
the district of Eva, young chief
named Lolale. He was pOrtly, hand
some and proud. Many were the
daughters of various chiefs on Oahu
who would have been only too happy
to become the wife of the attractive
youth, but the loveliest maidens of
the island made no impression upon
his heart; for, although he secretly
longed for some one to love, he
would not consent to mate with one
whom he could not consider his
equal in beauty and rank.
Months and years flew by, and yet
Lolale remained unmarried. He was
urged by his friends to seek among
the other islands of the group for a
wife, and at their request engaged a
trusty friend at Waialua to embark
in his canoe with few companions
and repair to the windward islands in
quest of suitable young chiefess.
They visited tue islands Of Lanai,

in Eva, near the mouth of Pearl
river. Here she saw number of
people surf bathing, and memories
of old days in Maui, when this was
her favorite sport, returning to her,
she procured a surf-board and swan
far out from the shore; watching n
favorable opportunity she mounted
and rode in with a huge breaker,
excelling in daring and skill all other
bathers. The acclamations which
greeted her return to shore ,attf0eted
the attention Of the chief Kalamakua.

to Lolale by whom she was

chiefess of her station. Being
enamored Of the handsome Lolale
at their first meeting she became his
not unwilling wife, and so well
satisfied was she with her new
surroundings that she made such
representations to her brother, Moi
of Maui, as induced him to suspend
preparations for hostilities which he
was about TO commence in conse-
q,lenoe of her abduction.
Although the beautiful and gay

Kelea lived long with Lolale, life in
the interior district of Lihuc at
length grew monotonous to her,
and desiring to dwell by the sea
which she loved SO dearly, she told
her husband Of her determination to
leave him. Being chiefess of high
rank he could offer 10 objection and
gave reluctant consent TO the
separation, although his grief was
great at being deprived of his loved
Kelea. She left him sad and heavy
hearted in his lonely home at Lihue,
and travelling along the foot of the

only one such surf-rider and that the
stranger must be the famed Kelea;
and advancing to her side he envcl-
oped her in his t,tpa. She accom-
panied him to his home at Halawa,
became his wife, and lived happily
with him until her death. She bore
him one daughter, the beautiful La
