AND NOW THREATS.


We certainly recommend those
parties who are debating the policy
of our evening contemporaries To en-
deavOr, no matter how faint the hope
of success may seem. to keep within
the bounds of decency and mOdcra-
ton. They were Custed in the poll
tical fight which has Just been de
cided, but this is no excuse for their
threats against the head OF this Gov
ernment. We refer more Yarticu-
larly TO the Bulletin because IL is the
most virulent and unscrdpulous organ
of the Opposition, though the Ha-
lCaijun is not far behind in its inn
piled warnings.
This pure and high minded mouth
piece OF pure and high-minded men,
who would not take an Office under
any circumstances, declared Tuesday
evening, that "things have come 10
the pass that continued silence
would be at the expense OF the public
good, and we shall speak of the King
hereafter in terms fr, crorn vitupera-
ton but plainly. He has placed him
self in position antagOnistic 10 the
best interests Of the whole nation,
and as an incumbent OF such a posi-
ton it is our duty,as pub!icjourna!ists
to discuss his acts"
This is deliberate and audacious
threat. They will discuss the King:
Who are they? BY what authority,
and under what seeming dc those
newspaper guerillas make this declar-
alton of intention? Half a dozen sore
heads, (half dozen we believe is
about the correct number) hire little

MORE PETITIONS.

MORE PETITIONS.
Within the last two weeks two petit
tions have been presented to His
Majesty. The first was circulated and
signed by some members of the OPP
position and their friends. No sooner
was it handed in than the Bulletin
and HUaU0ijun urged its favorable
consideration. The signers asked the
King to remove his Ministers. They
had no confidence in the Cabinet, and
they hoped that His Majesty would
entertain Il similar sentiment. Now
when the King received this petition,
to which 1859 names were attached,
he natural desired TO arrive at a cor
rect estimate of the importance of
this proportion of his subjects. The
petition was thoroughly analysed,
with the following result: OF 1860 there
were 3G4 foreigners, 37S HaWaiians,
and S29 Chinese. OF the foreigners 80
are voters of the HaWaiians 100 are
voters; and Of the Chinese none are
there are but 225 voters. The aggre-
gate Of foreigners and HaWaiianS is
742, giving the Chinese names on this
petition 81 majority. so we find that
S27 Chinese, with not u voter among
the lot, appeal % the King for q
change of Ministry Now, as we
have often stated, we believe in the
existence of good, healthy OppOsi-
ton in any Government. But we
sympathise with the respectable pOr-
tiOn of the signers of the petition
that its unwise promoters should
have given them such q terribly long
Chinese tail, and thus not only weak
ened, but actually made ridiculous
the entire document. Better the 742
names, even though they represented
but 225 votes, than this string of Mon
golians who have no care either one
way or the other for the government
or the cOuntry-who never spend q
dollar more than is necessary for the
actual necessities of life in the country,
and who, with few exceptions, carry
off every dollar they earn to spend in
their own land
The second petition presented To
His Majesty was an expression OF
confidence in the Ministry. This
bore over 2000 signatures, and every
name represented a vote. Under
these circumstances, il we assume

The Galveston Print says "there are
only IL Republican newspapers in
Texas, which is 10 too many" This
statement Is II little bit bigoted and mar
row-minded. No one will dare say that
the Republican papers are n damage to
the State In the least. They are rs Il
class ms well managed and printed as
any other, and have the welfare of the
State rs much at heart, and it is much
TO their credit that in the communities
where they are printed, they do'not re-
ceive their support from their political
friends alone. The Print is in error.
Texas needs several score of live, wide
awake Republican papers. Bourbonism
would die OF dry rot did it not have
these papers to show its many inconsst-
encies. They are as class more indie
pendent, because OF their minority, and
they act as corrective upon the body
polite by reason Of their independence.
The great State OF Texas is an empire,
and it is filled with people OF every
faith, political and otherwise, and the
Republican papers are as necessary
to the public good as any other one
agency. But it is commendable fact
that many Of the State papers, whose
political faith is Democracy, are be-
coming more and more independent
are quite free in their criticisms of
the men who are in power. and
who control the politics of the
State. The following from the
Blanco Star indicator is suggestive.
and intimates that while there may not
be many Republican papers, yet there
is falling off in Democratic papers. 1t
says: "We have often thought it rather
remarkable why it was that some of the
principal cities of Texas were destitute
of a sound Democratic paper. The town
of the State, the Alamo city, has but
one, the Times, while the capital itself
has none at all. True there is n paper at
Austin which claims to be Democratic,
but If any good Democrat will read it
carefully he will fail to find a single
Democratic sentiment in it. lie
Will be bound to pronounce it in direct
opposition to true Democracy, as the
term is understood and accepted by
those who follow the teachings of the
founders of the party, and others who
came after them, and whose Democracy
was never questioned. And then there's
Galveston, the great seaport town of the
State-it has no Democratic paper
either. It's all right though we suppose,
as they all appear to be getting along
well, but then, as we said before, it's
little strange-and Texas such strong
Democratic State too"

for operations in the Western States.
The object which the flnanciers who are
acting in concert have in view is to
transport into the United States OF
America the leading Industries of this
country. 1t must be well known to
your readers that for some time past
representative English manufacturers
have been prospecting in the States.
Their presence has been reported Mt
times in the coal and iron regions seek
ing suitable localities for establishing
works. The districts which have es-
pecially received their attention have
been the metal refuse region west of
st. Louis and the district on the
shores Of Lake Superior. Their at
tention particularly has been directed to
the facilities afforded by the Southwest
for cotton manufactures, and it appears
to be the general impression that great
Lancashire can be successfully founded
In such close proximity to the cotton
fields of the South as will eliminate, to
u large extent, the question of freight,
and deprive Manchester of her time
honored supremacy. These capitalists
consist of groups of manufacturers en-
bracing all the leading trades, and the
predominating idea is that by the sheer
force Of combination they will be able
to control TO great extent the markets
of the South and West. This may seem
almost too vast of comprehension, but
they propose to bring to its accomplish
ment resources that will exceed any
thing previously known in the history
of commercial enterprise. For instance,
the syndicate propose to transplant bod
lily whole colonies Of working people, to
found and build towns for their habita-
ton, work their own mines. acquire Il
controlling power in such existing lines
of railroads as necessary to their pur-
pose, construct new lines, own their
shipping-in fact, to secure for them
selves every profit from the first process
of production to the sale of the product.
The group of fnanciers which have al
lied themselves contingently to take in
itiatory steps in the enterprise are un-
derstood to represent some of the lead
ing houses in the middle and north of

THE "Man on the Avenue" in the

about the wages received by the warb-
lers: "Do you know the cost of these
high-prioed canaries that Abbey and
Mapleson are showing off to the coun-
try 7" asked well-known operate man
eyer Of the Avenue Man. Well, know
the figures, and here are some of them /:
Patti is paid 5000 night, Nilsson $4,000
per night, Sembrlch and Gerster $1,000
each per night. Sopranos of the first
quality get the highest salaries. Next in
value come the tenors, who can climb
the high notes with grace and agility.
Mezzo sopranos and baritones are drug
IN the market, especially the baritones,
unless they are phenominally good.
Contraltos and bassos of the best quality
are far below sopranos and tenors. For
example, Campinini and Stagno get
$4,000 per month each, while ScalcM. the
finest contralto in America, II not in the
world, receives $1,000 per month. Ire
belli gets $500 monthly, Valera $4,000,
kaschmann $1,000, Del Puente $500.
Capone $500, and Galazzi $4,000. These
figures are correct and serve to show you
that the golden plumage ofthese canaries
comes legitlmately by its color"
