EDITOR GAzETTE:-AmUngst the other funny
things is the refusal of the country Post Offices
to give drafts on Honolulu when the Kalakaua-
Spreckels dollars are presented. Why, the writer
cannot see. Do all government offices refuse to
accept the kalakLua-SpreckelsD Dollar! 1t is not
so long ago that the cabinet ~ extremely
anxious to obtain them, much so in fact that
they illegally issued our gold interest bearing
payable in gold, bonds for al large amount of them.
or course We well understand that we will never
pay those illegally obtained bonds and that the
U. S. Government will never assist Its citizens to
compel the payment of bonds which so is
sued. writer in one of the papers proposes that
a lot of the kalakaua-Spreckels Dollars be re-
shipped and disposed OF for gold, would it not be
advisable for the holders Of those illegally obtain
ed bonds to take back whatever we do not want
of them and cancel that much of the debt \
good business man always prefers to pocket his
losses as soon as possible. MeSsrs Low Il Go
ought to see it. Certainly will have the rising
generation educated up To the refusal to pay for
what this generation has not had value for.
Chicanery wont pay in the long run, The honest
man lives longest. MAUI.

REciST returns made to the controller of Texas
show rapid increase in wealth and population
during the past few years. The increase in the
assessed valuation last year was over SGSOOO,OOO.
The total assessed value of the State in 1884 was
f5S3,OOO000, rs against ssh, 100000 in 1850, an
increase in four years of nearly S2T5OO0OOO. That
part of this increase in assessed value may be
due TO improved assessment methods is possible
but the larger part is probably due to wonderful
development of that State during the past few
years. That the assessment is still incomplete is
evidenced by the fact that the assessed value Of
the railroads of Texas is but SI0OO0OOO while the
actual value is claimed TO be over S2OOOOO,OOO
The school lands of that State are not assessed,
and worth about SIOO,OO0,0OO. According to the
State bureau Of statistics the population in 1884
was 2,2lj,7 100 as compared with l-9l, 200 in 1850
an increase in four years Of 625aj4, at rate of
$4,000 per year. That the real value of the pro-
perty in that State Is really much more than Is
reported Is evident, but the great inrCease shown
in the value of the property already assessed gives
prouIf1e of further increase in material pros
perity and wealth.

If tho seals arc broken on arrival at the
port of exit, and ON examination tho con-

for suspicion of fraud, ho will allow it to
proceed to its destination. If there is good
reason to suspect fraud tho car and contents
