Wild HoraeG

The celebrated Higday Bros, whose
specially is the capturing and breaking
of wild horses, have been spending the
week in Sidney. Their postoffice adj
dress is Dighton, Lane county, though
their headquarters are generally in
camps on the plains. Many wild horses
are caught in Lane county. Only last Sun
day a drove approached the corral of a
brother On these gentlemen, near Digh-
ton. These horses are extremely wild
when roaming at large, but when caught
they are as easily trained as any untu-
tored domestic horse.
In Scott county, west of Lane, wild

Minister Young says that he learns
from official sources that the census of
China, as taken last year for the purpo-
ses of taxation, shows a total popula-
ton of 255,OO0.0O0. This does not in
clude the Mongolian or other outlying
dependencies of the empire, but only
the eighteen provinces of China proper;
nor does it embrace various aboriginal
tribes. Including these, it is probable
that the population really exceeds three
hundred millions.

There are only two saloons running
at Hunnewell at present. The city
government raised the fine to $4,000
per month and the two most disreputa-
BILE were forced to close their doors.
The two remaining ones are compelled
to close their doors on the Sabbath.
There are two marshals that are paid
$4,000 and $500 each per month to
maintain order in the town, and af-
fairs are running smoothly at present.

KnMtIIK KNIII IfnNnR-

The events OF the past two weeks
have been in humiiating evidence that
commercial honor is rated at FAR less
than its proper value by some Of our
business houses. II is not enough that
commercial transactions should be ao-
cording to the letter of contracts or
verbal agreements. Technical honesty
is not enough. II may be honest to
drive a hard bargain" but it is not
honorable. And it is no good answer
to fault finding such as this that the
merchant who drives hard bargain
does merely what his fellow merchants
would do if they had the chance it is
the mcancst, the most cowardly Of
answers. If this is fair criticism OF the
private transactions Of business men
how much more fair is it OF those
transactions TO which the government
is a party. 1t is more dishonorablc to
OycucaCh the government thln to over
reach ones business ncighbor for
the government represents the people,
majority Of whom are not business
men and whose public servants as in
the present cabinet arc often ignorant
OF many Of the first principles Of busi
ness. We need higher business life
quite as much as we need the higher
life intellectual or the higher life spiri-
tual Honor in business is a splendid
preparation for honor in politics and
honor in morals and religion. We are
too apt, all of us, to attach undue
significance to brains, prestige, wealth.
He is smart, shrewd, successful that is
enough Perhaps this may he shrcwd
reasoning so far as this worlds pros
pcrity goes, and that is all many of us
take into account. But, if there be no
regard among some business men for
the demands of higher nature than
their business life demands, they ought
to reflect that every time they wink at
a questionable transaction, with busi-
ness neighbors or with government
officials, they are making it harder for
the community to remain honest, and
harder for their own children to gain an
honest livelihood.

ment prognosticating that, in the mind
of the sapient writer. in a year or two
all the stores in Fort street will be kept
open until midnight or later, as the greed
or avarice of their proprictors may de
mand utterly regardless of the health,
mental improvement, or social duties
OF the unfortunate employees who thus
may be compelled to slave from thehour
they leave their beds until they shall be
permitted to drag their weary frames
back to those same beds again. The
writer says "This old custom cannot
last much longer In these pro
gressive days trades people must be
awake or they will inevitably get be-
hind" Is the writer so utterly without
common sense that he fails to see that
the working salesman has as much right
TO his hours of heathful recreation, and
physical and moral improvement, as has
the artisan and mechanic2 Docs he not

Of fathers been "Givc us anhour or two
after our labor to see, to know and to
love and teach our little ones?" In cold
climates the evil has been recognize
and ameliorated as much as possible.
The long hours are but a relic of bar
barism and the writer of the article from

that long business hours mark CONNER

FURTHER SUGGESTIONS.

EDITOR SATURDAY PRESS. ,
| was pleased to see reference in your
last issue to some needed improvements
in the management of our inter-island
steamers, such as waiting-rooms for
ladies and Others at the steamer docks
at this port and at some of the landings
on other islands strangers and resi-
dents on Maui and Hawaii too often
experience the ncver.to-be-forgotten dis
comforts Of a night among flcas, reaches,
rats, and ours at such places as Maa-
lata and kaalualu, and can appreciate
the force Of your suggestions. But
another thing equally needed is are
duction Of cabin fares to more mode
rate charges Five dollars for night
on board, to or from Kauai or any
part Of Maui, eight dollars TO Kohala
Ior kona, and ten dollars to kau or
liilo, with discount Of ten per cent
for round trip ticket, If paid for a,
the oNn in 6dsaatS, viii certainly re-
suit in an increase Of travel, and pro
badly in an increase of receipts.
Surely the handsome profits now
earned by our steamers viii justify the
adoption of the proposed changes
without detrimcnt 10 the interests OF
the owners, while they will be appreci
aled by the constantly increasing mum
ber OF travellers who must OF necessity
patronize them for business or pleasure
Another change in the steamer pro
grammes might be made which would
meet with public iavor-vless time spenl
on the return trips from Hawaii lhs
steamer Likelike spends several hour,
at Mahukona On Kawalliae and thu

schedules would bring them into port
here IN the afternoon, instead of to
0 O'Clock in the morning, as now, thus
shortening the trip several hours. The
arrival at Honolulu of fifty to two

unnecessary annoyance and disturbance

of all inter-island travellers.

pOITTIC.II CRTTfCISM.

he following extracts from an article
by +. l.. Godkin in Scribncr's for
February, 1880, are so appropriate to
the political situation in these islands
to-day that we quote them here -
a" From the close of the war till 1876
the artificial organization of the
Southern States under the rcconstruc-
ton acts made them pcrforce Repub-
lican. We call their organization arti-
fetal, in the sense that it put in power
"a portion of the population which,
rightly or wrongly, did not represent
the physical and intellectual force of
the state. Government everywhere
and always tends, with a strength which
no legislation not backed by a powerful
standing army can resist, to pass into
the hands of that part of the population,
whether it be the minority or majority,
which is able to command the prepon-
derance of physical force, and this in
our day means intellectual force, be
cause 1t means capacity for discipline,
organization, and persistence.
The idea of the Republican party
seems TO be-that Our opponents are
corrupt, unreasonable, wicked, and will
destroy the government if they can get
hold of it. Arguing + is useless.
We shall very likely have to fight
them again in defense of everything
we most value, though we must 90
through the form OF contcnding with
them at the polls. Let us, therefore,
propose some candidate in whom we
have confidence for this crisis some
man on whose frmness and audacity
we can rely, and who, when the other
side try to cheat him out of the presi-
dency, as they probably may, will see
that he gets the place, peaceably if he
can, torcibly if he must This is not
Casarism, but it is the mental condition
which has always and everywhere pre-
ccded Cmsarism. 1t is the cry of the
weary, heavy-laden men, who are will
ing, not to sacrifice liberty exactly,
but to get rid OF the strife and turmoil
which attends the maintenance of
liberty through constitutional processes
for the sake of more quiet life
1t Is time that the party
in power only can take the initiative
in all matters of legislation, but the duty
of the opposition is something more
than criticism. 1t is bound whenever
1t objects, to say what it would do if it
could, instead of the the thing il objects
to. 1t is bound to give the country
some better reason for putting it in
possession Of the government than the
bad management of those who actually
hold the government Poll
teal criticism differs from literary or
artistic criticism in that it is bound to
describe the kind of work it would pro
duce in place of what it condemns
1t is only by taking this
opposition that any opposition can
make itself respected, or play any
useful part in politics, or earn any
title to public confidence. 1t cannot
rely simply on the failures and short
comings of the other side. 1t must
have a programme, and submit it fire.
quently for popular approval.
The party in power is an organization
for the transaction of business. Its
function, when in power, is not simply
to prevent murder and robbery, and
collect the revenue honestly, but to
make inccssant improvements, both in
legislation and administration

In ITS article on the labor question
the Advertiser said. "For some time
the necessity Of cooperation among
those who faithfully and honestly toll
for their bread and those who sincerely
sympathize with the bone and muscle
of the land, has been felt on account Of
the aggressivcncss OF capital upon the
rights OF poor but able and valuable
workers in every field Of industry.
We do not agree with the writer in his
conclusions. II he will show us spcci-
tie causes of the "aggrcssiyencss OF
capital We will cordially unite to com
bat that aggessiveness. But the sort ol
loose writing which would seek "a stir ~
strife between labor and capital i.
distinctly and only and always bad and
is TO be deplored by all right thinking
men.
