w. NJ. Mahin, Esq, of Topeka, was in
the city yesterday. Mr.. Mahin is an expert
on ta1-titles, We think, with few equals in the
state. He has made that particular branch
q study now for several years. He has all
the decisions of the courts at his finger ends
and knows all the fatal points in such titles
and can tell in the briefest time, when once
admitted to the records of county, whether
tax deed will stand or not. He seldom, If
ever, fails. Those having had their property
sold for taxes and decided would do well to
address him with particulars. If county
clerk, sheriff, printer, or treasurer has made
mistake of any such character as would in
validate the deed, Mahin will pounce upon
it without fail, and there are very few tax
titles ever made in this state that will hold
the property against the original owner it
they are intelligently handled.

After a sermon at the Methodist church,
Sunday morning. from the text that it IS
more blessed to give than to receive, $42S
were collected for church charities. Apply
ing the text to that congregation, it, MEM
bers must have returned home very happy;
but there was one who felt, and still feels,
that the sum was far too large to ask from
such . congregation. The church Is new,
probably not yet entirely paid for, the town
is new and the people are new to each other,
and all in . new country yet to be devei-
oped in every conceivable direction; which
developments must be paid for by the pres
ent generation, and the burthen is . very
great one-much greater than the heads and
managers OF the church living in old and
wealthy communities can conceive OF. Four
hundred and twenty-five dollars in single
collection for charities alone from congre-
CATION containing not a single really rich
man is to us really wonderful thing. There
are churches in old communities. Of plnshes
and velvet., of marble and bronzes,
in whose pews lszily recline the owners
of millions, in which such q collection as
that mentioned would be called handsome
contribution. We are not complaining that
SO much money was given, that is, We are
not criticizing the great liberal hearts who
responded in such way, although We feel
that many could hardly afford it, but we
do complain of the conference, or power
which asked 1t. The widow gave all that
she had-her mite-and it was more than all
that was cast that day into the treasury, but
it seems sometimes that we in Wichita are
not only expected as q matter Of course to
do that, but to loan our credit also, which
We as people actually do, not only in char.
tiles in building schools and churches, but
in many other directions, even to the build
| ing of railroads. We have, for Truth, II
seems to US, the most liberal-hearted people
| in the world in Wichita, but sometimes w
feel like crying out in their behalf and
against the thousand and one schemes ant
things and extras to which they are daily
asked IN confribute

WELL, we are to have missions to various
parts of the globe. We are to teach the
Samoans how to manage their political
affairs. Our ENJOYS are to disport them
selves at foreign courts and we are to be
prepared to entertain foreign visitors.
The modest request is made for 900
for this purpose, and we may look for 1t to
be raised to a still higher figure when the
Appropriation Bill comes on for third
reading. The Minister of Foreign Affairs
made rambling statement relative to the
necessity of having this sum, and made a
sort of promise that any portion of it that
was not required would not be used. Now
experience in the past has made the tax
payers of this country knoMthat when any
money is voted for folly, the appropria-
ton is drawn to the last cent, and as this
$4,000 is in a great measure for pure folly
we may be quite sure that 1t will be drawn
as bare as the genealogical fund, the re-
suit of which was 1916 worth of bones and
S9,625 worth of salary. But we must wait
for the full flavor of the latter report, till
we see it in print.
Another thing we do not like about this
$4,000 is its vagueness. Foreign mis-
sions $4,000 How much for each foreign
mission? How much for the ENJOYS Elk
traordinary and Ministers Plenipotentiary
to the coral reefs to the southwark? How
much is going to be paid for uniforms
How much in travelling expenses? The
fact is that with so many leaks, the $4,000
would melt away and leave but memory
of dispatches in Micronesian dialects, a
few battered cooked hats and probably the
presence of German and Spanish men-of-
war in our waters, which had come to set
tie any little difficulties the said Ministers
Plenipotentiary had managed to involve
us in. Then we would have to vote war
fund, and the Minister of Interior could
cry "havoc and let slip the dogs of war"
No, on the whole we think on third read
ing that $4,000 had better be cut down,
not raised
The Hawaiian gazette., 1886-07-27

So THE Treaty is now definitely safe for
another year OF pamphlets pro and con,
there have been no end. The bitterest
writers against us have been Searle,
Browne and Moreno. Browne is most
persistent foe and has run forth stream
ofinvective, and an ocean of figures against
the Treaty, which must have turned peo-
pie in favor of it from very WEAKNESS.
Our own pamphleteers have worked hard,
and it is certainly not from want of infor-
nation. that any one could not make up
his mind on the subject
The chief work, however. has been done
in Washington, and the chief workers have
been Minister Carter and DIR. J. Mott
Smith. They have both been indefatiga-
bic in personally setting forth the advan-
tages of the Treaty, and it is lucky for US
that we have had two such untiring advo-
Gates, men who, by their social standing,
have won for US hosts of powerful friends.
Minister Carter, we understand, returns
here for a visit next September The
members of the Cabinet and our leading
merchants will have an opportunity Of
personally hearing and discussing the
