The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1886-03-13

a BOARD of Public Works is sug-
gested in New Orleans and a special
annual tax of 8 mills placed in their
hands for the purpose of paving,
draining and improving the City. This
plan has been adopted by Washing
ton and Chicago, and the National
Editorial Association recently in SEES
sion, were informed that Cincinnati
would soon follow by putting in
$4,00o,000 at one time. The City of
Washington to-day, boasts of one
hundred and twenty miles of streets
laid with Asphaltam, and her real
estate has quadrupled in yalue. Make
a Paris out of New Orleans and the
wealthy and fashionable people, not
only of the United States, but Mexico,
Central America and other portions
of the Universe, would spend much of
their time there and ponr into her
Golfers many millions Of dollars.

Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1886-07-24

Always remember that you are
married to man and not god; be
prepared for imperfections.
Once in a while let yoIr husband
have the last word; it will crafty
him and be no particular loss to you.
Do BIO reasonable; it is great deal
to ask under some circumstances.
Reasonable women are rare, DO rare.
Anticipate the discovery by your
husband that you are only woman
if you were not he would not care
about you.
Let your husband read the news
paper at the breakfast table; tits un-
sociable, but then it is only trihe
after all, and he likes it,
Remember that servants are made
of the same material as you are, a
little coarser grained perhaps. but
the same in essentials.
Read something in the papers be-
sides fashion notes and society col
umns; have some knowledge of what
is going on in foreign countries.
Try and forget yourself. AS to
your husband, forget that you mar
ried him, and remember that he mar
ried you. He will remember that
he married you. He will then prob
ably do the reverse.
Be companion to your husband,
IL he is a wise man; and If he IS not,
try and make him become your com
panion, raise his standard; do not let
him lower yours.
Let your husband know more than
you do once in while; it keeps up
his selErespect, and you will be none
the worse for admitting that you
are not actually infallible-
Respect your husbands prejudic-
es; respect his relations, especially
his mother--she is not less his moth
er because she is your mother-in-law;
she loved him before you did.

FRAUDULENT COMMISSIONS.

Those who have been in the habit
of reading our morning contempo-
rary for the last year or so past will
remember the accusations it has
brought at different times against a
portion of the mercantile community
of Honolulu respecting the illicit
trade in opium. 1t has charged
again and again that those who are
opposed to licensing opium are
secretly engaged in the business of.
importation and sale of the drug,
threatening great revelations and ex-
posures, which hitherto have not
been made. This paper has repeat
edly challenged the production of
names, but without success. Now
there is change of position. We
have charged that the government
has been defrauded by system of
fraudulent commissions, and the
Advertiser comes down on us like q
ton of coal, calling upon us to
"name the offenders, etc. - In
other words, our considerate con-
temporary asks of us favor similar
to one which he declined to grant us
recently. 1t is easy to reply, furnish
us your names and the proofs in the
opium business, and we will give
you list of those accepting com
missions. But does the government
organ really desire the names? o.
is it really ignorant of the fact a:
stated by us yesterday? We shal
return to this subject again, but il
the meantime would correct a mis-
apprehension. We did not point t.
''specific cases. etc., but simpl,
supposed cases, to illustrate how th'
thing is done.

WHAT is WANTED.

We have always held that the
main requisites of this kingdom are
roads, bridges, and landing conven-
fences. Increase of experience and
closer acquaintance with the coun-
try's condition produce no alteration
of our oft-repeated views, only in
the way of deepening the conviction
of their soundness. Since the in
PRODUCTION into these islands of civil
lized government they have been,
for the most part, unfortunately
governed by inexperienced and un-
practical men who have never
realized the paramount Importance
of the class of works just now
alluded to. What can lawyer, or
doctor, or banker, or an ac-
countant, or shop-keeper, confined
all his life to towns and cities,
though well qualified for his own
particular calling and deeply read
in the philosophy of money making,
