ESubiectMAn Opinion. =


One of the very rich men in congress
was talking to me last night about the
troubles of congressional millionaires.
Said he: ut is wonderful how fast mans
fortune grows after he gets to Washing
ton. When got to the capital supposed
myself, from an invoice Of my various pos
sessions, to be worth certain number OF
millions of dollars had not been here a
week before the papers began their esti-
mate of my pile, and think jumped
about $4,000, 900 higher in the course of
month. That is on paper, you know. l
have made money very fast at times in
my life, but never so fast as they make it
for me here at Washington.
"These newspaper reports that 60 out
from hero about my being such whole
souled, generous millionaire bring all the
beggars of the country down upon me,
and I get letters from everywhere, pro-
posing all sorts of ridiculous schemes.
Here is one, for instance" and the con-
gressman held out letter to me, apro-
posing that I furnish 100000 to start a
weekly newspaper, which the man says
will bring in $4,000 year when it has
reached 125,000 circulation, which OF
course it would very soon. He proposes
to charge twenty-five cents per agate line
for advertisements. AS he will get all his
news out of the daily papers it can be run
cheaply. Then I get scores of letters, en-
bracing nearly all the states Of the Union,
from men who want to lift mortgages OH
their houses, and other scores from chari-
table institutions who can tell me just
how. to use my money so that il
will do the most good. Some
of my letters come from boys who
want an education end I suppose If could
look these matters up I could find some
really meritorious instances. am both
cred great deal by cranks, also, and
can tell you that the man who is published
as rich has some troubles which the poor
man never thinks Of. I find that am
working harder since I have been con-
gressman than I have ever worked be-
FORE"
Continued the millionaire, II answer all
my letters, using, of course, stenographer,
and I make a rule to answer letter as
soon as I get it. have learned g good
deal in congress, and never have been
in place where felt that was able to
do so little alone before. think congress
is body of great intelligence but very
little wisdom, and have gotten from my
association here much higher regard for
the average intelligence Of the people OF
the United States. The members of con-
gress I find as a rule, are men of a
good deal of brains and considerable
culture. Talk to them individually and
they are sensible enough, but get them to-
gether and they act and talk like set of
blanked fools.n-Cor. Cleveland Leader.

Careless Use Of tho Lancet.

Madame Boissenot being afflicted with an

he was doing so she shrank suddenly from
the lancet, and he inflicted slight wound

Most Effective Bomb Yet Invented.

The most effective one ever invented has
not yet been brought into play. 1t is a
copper globe filed with nitro-glycerine,
and when used Is thrown like boys toy
bullet from strong rubber band. You
can buy these cartridges ready loaded from
any store where blasting materials are
sold from Is cents to 81. All that is nee
essary to keep them safe until you use
them is to sink them in cold water-a
wash-bowl will hold enough to butcher @
regiment, They are infallible. Wherever
they strike they explode, and one will
make a hole in the ground broader and
deeper than grave. An expert can send
such projectile a couple of hundred
yards with good, stout, rubber sling, and
so be perfectly safe himself except for a
shock to his nerves. The dynamite bomb
is only toy pistol beside such handful
of condensed DEATH Its use does not mean
murder, but massacre.-New York News

Tho Duchess Afraid of Fresh Air.

The duchess of Edinburg was present at
a concert recently in St. James hall to
hear Herr Joachim. Il was q hot night,
and the hall, at ~ uest of times and with
all the ventilation. that can be had, Is a
stuffy place. But her imperial and royal
highness does.not like fresh air. It was
her wish that all the doors, windows and
ventilators should be closed, and closed
they were. When one of the sitting and
gasping multitude ventured to open one,
an usher hustled up at once and closed it
again, sternly warning the offender that
such were the commands Of her imperial
and royal highness. Result, headache the
next morning and more unpopularity for
the duchess of Edinburg.-The Argonant.

The Poverty of French Painters.

aAll is absurd in the history of art" said
a dealer, the other day. "Millet lived only
by loans. So did Rousseau. So did Jules
Dupre, until ten years ago. Michel died
at a hospital, leaving many paintings on
paper because he was too poor to buy can
vas. A portfolio of ten of those paintings
sold for ten francs, all told. Recently one
of tho ten pictures sold for eight hundred
dollars. The success of an artist is mostly
a question of management If two or
three well-known amateurs lead, the
others will follow. They do not under
stand, but they will buy."-The Argonant

ABOLISH RRLCGiliES.

On the second reading of the bill
TO prevent the obstruction of streets,
on Tuesday last, Mr.. Gulick, then
Minister of Interior, objected to
allowing the erection of balconies on
overhanging verandahs in the streets
of Honolulu. He saw no reason
why people should be allowed to
increase their real estate by en-
croachjng on the public domain.
Others reasons against the balco-
nies were, the liability Of passers-by
being drenched and the streets rend-
cred unwholesome with slops dumped
from these overhangipg projections,
and the enhancement of danger
from fire. These points were all
well taken, and received no rebuttal
from the other side Of the question
to weaken them to any material eX-
tent. The argument that the widen
ing of the streets has obviated the
great risk of fire is not of much
weight, considering that the widened
streets are somewhat narrow, and
overhanging balconies on opposite
sides at an elevation where flames
attain free play are about the best
fire aids imaginable. 1t is true that
there is greater safety from slops
under verandahs than in the open
but it is usually from these balco
nies that the slops are thrown, anC
not from windows, SO that as rul,
where there are no balconies ther,
are no slops. We do not admit tha
Chinatown would be inexpressibl,
gloomy without this species o
verandah, any more than are tn
Campbell and Spreckels blocks
where they do not exist. To on
vision, deal boards covered witt
paint are no uglier than walls o
stone or brick. In fact, about tn
ugliest thing in new Chinatown ar
these unsightly balconies. The bil
comes up for third reading to-mol
row, and in our opinion the aboli
tion of balconies would be an amend
ment.

A ElNs.MlhuTE Rule.

The ex-AIinister of Foreign At
fairs in a speech few days ago, in
which members of the Assembly
were rebuked for their non-attend-
ance at the house, suggested the
adoption of "ivc minute rule"
By which we understand, q rule
confning each speaker TO five min
utes in the delivery of his speech.
Although q rule of this kind might
sometimes be a hardship to mem
Der bubbling over with great ideas
and an irresponsible longing to vent
them in q tlow of unrestrained clo-
quence, and probably could not be
invariably enforced, yet the adop-
ton of some means of reducing the
amount of useless talk and increas-
ing the amount of useful business
accomplished in a given time is cer-
tainly desirable. On the whole
there is too much talk. One member
swallows up twenty or thirty min
utes in saying what might have
been said in five minutes. The
next speaker feels it his duty to &C
over the same ground as the former
speaker and repeat the same things
Some members seem to regard it "a
an imperative obligation to rise tt
their feet, gesticulate, and get off ;
tedious harangue on every trivia
matter that comes up. Thus ;
large proportion of the time of al
most every sitting is wasted tha
should be given to needed work
Shorter speeches and less number
of them would not be damaging tt
the public business.

constant supervision of teachers can
be secured, partition in the dormi-
tory should be made to separate the
smaller boys from the older and the
windows so protected by bars that
they can be opened at will for pur-
poses of ventilation without allow
ing pupils to escape. AS at present
arranged the establishment is apt to
do more harm than good.
On visiting the Custom House we
found much need. of repair on the
main building. The iron shutters
throughout need TO be reset and
much of the lower floor to be re-
newed and supported more strongly.
The warehouse room is inadequate
to the needs. A temporary ware
house has been put up in the rear of
the main building which is not secure
from thieves and is so low that the
goods stored lose largely from eva
poration. At least one more new
warehouse. should be built as soon
as the finances permit of similar size
to the one lately built for storing
spirits. 1t would soon pay for itself
in storage received for spirits entered
in bond to be reshipped to America.
subcommittee visited the Post
Office, Station House, and schools.
The Post Office is in good repair. Ii
is undergoing changes which will be
of great benefit in promoting public
accommodation.
The Station House is very valua-
BILE and well built editice. The
several government schools are in
fair condition and seem to be OF
sufficient size to accommodate the at
tendance. Some repairs are needed
by the windows in the Primary de.
partment of the school on Punch
bowl street. The main room in tn,
Fort street school is poorly lightec
owing to wings having been built al
the sides and rear. This might b,
remedied to some extent by enlarg
ing the window in the front gable
and changing the desks and rostrun
so rs to face the sides of the room
This would bring the light so that i
would shine from the side of botl
teacher and scholars instead of being
directly in their back on face as a
present. The other buildings visited
by your committee require no specia
comment. Respectfully submitted

statement of the debts due by his
Department, giving dates, securities,
etc., in writing on or before Satur-

busy with such statements as were
asked. He would request that the
resolution be amended TO extend the
time till Tuesday next.
Rep. Thurston accepted the
amendment.
Minister Dare said it was the Gus
tom in parliamentary bodies, when
an inquiry was made, that notice
should be given. This practice had
not been strictly observed in this
Legislature heretofore, and this was
an auspicious moment for an i'm
provement in that regard. He as

required information would be ready,
but asked him to treat the matter as

act to provide for the lighting Of
Honolulu by electricity.
