Politicians are searching for flaws in
Nichols record. The people know
that he is honest, that he will serve
them and NOT the politicians. He was
in office long enough to find out the
evil geniuses .of the State, and he will
be a better Go vernon on account of this
knowledge. He will not be deceived
by any of them, as he probobly was be-
fore and the very fact that he is going
to be Governor W ill tend to purify fu-
ture legislation by. making it distaste-
full for some of the evil geninses to be

SAME OPINION SILL.

"A lawyer, not over-stocked in the
upper story, and noted for verbosity
and shallowness, was trying a case
before Judge Gray. The case was
plain, so there was little use of
argument, and Master Shallow had
the strong side, but he was deter
mined to ''improve the occasion"
The judge leaned over and said,
"Mr.-, the Court is with you,
without argument ssBut will you
not hear my argument?' ooh, GER
tainly," said the judge. Then
ensued characteristic harangue of
an hour or two. At it's conclusion
the judge said, "Mr.-, the Court
is still with YOU"

King George Of Tonga.
The TROUBLES OF A SOUTH SEA
ISLAND SOVEREIGN.
DEMOCRACY. AMONG A SIMPLE AND
IGNORANT PEOPLE" ..

The crown of a monarch is in these
times planted with thorns, even, it
would seem, if he is only king of a
South Sea Island. There is some
thing very comic in the way in which
the troubles of monarchy in these
days--face to face, us il often finds
itself, with demands which it can
neither concede nor refuse-are re-
peating themselves in the case of
King George of Tonga. This Poly
nesian sovereign has hitherto been
regarded as among the most success
full and fortunate of his class. But
the wave of change seems to have
reached Tonga. Aggressive democ-
racy seems, judging from the report
brought back by II. M. S. Miranda,
to have raised its head at this hitherto
peaceful isle, and has made the
position of sovereign no longer worth
having. The burden has for some
time made itself too heavily felt by
King George, who, we are told, has
''refused to have anything more to
do with his subjects The tone of
this statement encourages us to eX-
pect that the retirement of the aged
monarch to another group to spend
the rest of his days in quietness was
the cause of general lamentation
among his deserted people. But so
far from this being the case, we are
next told that the Tonga people have
determined ''to destroy by dynamite,
or do some other violence to the heir
presumptive should he attempt to
ascend the throne This is very
distressing. We have lately been
assured by high spiritual authorities
in this community that it is the spread
of materialism which causes the
conspiracies against authority by
which Europe is honey-combed. We
may, therefore, fairly assume that
the same cause is at work at Tonga.
All this makes the case the more
deplorable. The spectacle of the aged,
Disguised monarch in retirement,
the lawful heir terrorised so far as to
fear to assume the crown, and a
population of materialistic and UNI
clothed savages dividing their time
between the study, of irreligious
scientific works and experiments on
the explosive properties of dynamite
regarded as a political weapon,
shows us. how the troubles of the
old world are, repeating themselves
in the Arcadian islands of the
Pacific.-Austrahoua paper.

The Japanese Government, some
little time since, sent mission to
England to enquire into the working
of the Christian religion; that mission
has reported to the effect that it
found so much drunkenness, crime,
and misery generally, that it most
emphatically set it's face against the
adoption of any portion of the Chris
tian belief, as the latter was infinite
ly inferior to that at present prevail
ing in Japan. Flattering, is it not,
to our State religion! / remember,
too, that like estimate was formed
of our manners and customs by the
japanese Commissioners to our late
exhibition. Owing to some intimate
literary business relations with these
little gentlemen, they were perhaps
more communicative to me than they
otherwise would have been. Conse-
quently, in the course of various con-
versations, / learnt the humiliating
fact that some of our people were
the rudest they had seen in any part
of the world. And now they despise
our religion. Paper.

PROSPECTIVE, SUGAR COMPETITION.

AdOlph Spreckels, of the firm of
j. D. Spreckels & Co., in converse
ton with a Call reporter, yesterday,
said that he anticipated rivalry in
the sugar business in the northwest,
in the introduction of Eastern sugar
by the Northern Pacific Railroad,
and the firm of which he is mem
Der proposed to hold the fort against
all corners that Il reduction in prices
there would in all probability be
made in the article manufactured
here. This is merely done to hold
the trade, but California would reap
but little benefit, as no reductions
will be made here. The rumors that
Eastern sugar would be brought to
this coast in clipper ships Mr..
Spreckels secuted, saying that, in
the first place, it could not be made
to pay, while, again, the sea trip in
jured the sugar. He said that the
establishment of Il refinery by his
firm, in Portland, was simply ques-
ton of time, how far distant he
could not say. In reference to the
report of the committee appointed to
investigate the charges of Congress
man Belmont in the matter of the
treaty existing between Hawaii and
the United States, he said he was
not surprised, as the charges could
not be substantiated.-S. II. CuW.

A dubious story from Hartford,

Mr.. G. Durham has been troub-

could get his cat to kill a rat. He
caught one and shut it in barrel
with cat. The second day after
he looked in, and the cat was sitting
on one side of the barrel and the
rat on the other. The next day, in
the afternoon, the cat was sitting
very contentedly with the rat
perched upon her back, apparently

Even Boston is not beyond sus-
picion:
A lady had a pet dog and cat
that were very fond of each other
and never quarreled. When the

he would stand by the door, and
puss would jump up, catch one paw
over the latch and press the other
on the thumb piece, and, as the
door swung open, she would drop
down ON the dogs back and ride in,
in triumph.
