Montgomery County sentinel., 1888-07-06

The country is the nursery Of the
towns and the towns are the nurseries
of our cities. 1t is just so everywhere.
Whom farmer gets rich enough to go
to town, he goes, for the town has good
schools and churches and society. When
a town merchant gets littlo ahead, he
gets ambitious, and wants to get rich
with more alacrity. He becomes little
uppity and bigity, and so moves to the
city. just SO with lawyers and doctors.
and even the preachers are not proof
against high salaries and beautiful
churches.

Western papers are discussing the
vital question, "What makes mans
trousers bag at the knees ?" and no one
has thought to advance the theory that
it is because the man wears the trousers.
We don't know of anything that will
make mans trousers bag at the knees
quicker than wearing them.

Conference on the Fire Department..

Last evening the select committee of
the Legislature on Honolulu Fire De-
partment affairs held conference with
members of the Board of Representa-
tives. Hon. H. S. Townsend presided,
and Hons. A. Young and w. E. Foster
of the committee were present, also
Chief Engineer Wilson and many lead
ing memb ers of the Department.
The principal matter OF conference
was the draft of a new law governing the
Department, which the Chief Engineer
has had prepared. It's main feature is
that it brings the Department more
directly than at present under the
control of the Minister of the Interior.
Also it gives the Chief Engineer in
creased power in some respects. Being
lengthy the reading of the bill took the
greater part of the time at disposal,
so that there was very little discussion
of its provisions.
At the close of the reading Mr.. G. o.
Berger was called upon, as representa-
tive of the Board of Underwriters, to give
the views of insurance men upon the
question of a fire patrol. He said the
underwriters were ready to pay Tor the
first outfit, to cost, say, 81 800 to $2,5OO,
if the Government would undertake the
maintenance of such patrol.
Some members thought the insurance
companies ought to pay part of the rum
ming expenses too. Mr.. Berger pro
posed, on hearing this view, to consult
with the other insurance men and see
how far they would be inclined to go.
Hitherto they had awaited instructions
from headquarters abroad, the receipt OF
which had enabled them to make the
present offer.
Considerable discussion took place as
to whether the patrol should be in con-
nection with the Department or an indie
pendent organization, the latter appar-
emily having the advantage in advocacy;
1t was held by some that men should
be kept on watch all the time; also as
desirable that they nave truck and one
or two horses.

A Chinese Boycott.

The great credit sale of Messrs. H
Hackfeld & Co. is postponed until Mon
day, August Goth. This is owing to a
combination of Chinese merchants re-
lusIng to buy at the sale, because the
nrm declined to sign a petition asking
Cne hIng to veto the bill requiring
accounts OF traders to be kept in Euro
pean or Hawaiian languages. A com
munication elsewhere discusses the new
situation. 1t is said that the incident
has frightened several large houses
doing Chinese trade into signing the
petition against their predetermined

Cratic shoemaker Of New Canaan,
Conn.,, Is q tailoress. A clothing manu-

When Jim got a chance he said:

1t is needless to say that Mr.. Manu-
facturer had nothing to say, and ap-
peared to suddenly remember that he
had business with man further down

taken time to explain wherein Dava-

for the paltry sum of 81 cents, the same
pair of pants that was afterwards sold
to her own son for $3.50.

This is the title Of the latest, and by
all odds the most charming book for
little people we have ever seen. It's
fables, or stories, are delightful, but the
Illustrations are simply immense.
The author, Palmer Cox, is q new
star in the juvenile firmanent, but he
shines with unique brilllancy. His
charming fables rival those ofthe world
famed Esop, and he far outshines that
celebrated literary comet by his inimit-
able illustrations. He dresses up his
birds, animals, insects, giants, fairies,
goblins, etc., in grotesque style and
makes them reason, talk, dance, and
cut up all sorts of the oldest pranks
immaginable, affording infinite as we'll
as excellent instruction to the young
The issue Of his book "Queer People''
has brought a perfect ovation of praise
from the brightest men in the land.
For instance, Gen. Clinton b. Fisk
says: at has set my children wild
with delight - and Col. Russell H. Con-
well, the famous lecturer says: "Don't
send me another such book, for can't
get my children to bed.n
The famous statesman diplomat, and
wit, Sunset Cox, says: "The kweer
apers are simply Incompatible, u
while the distinguished theologian,
DIR. Howard Crosby says: "They have
the fascination that belongs to Esop
and Uncle Remus,n and the venerable
poet, DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes,
writes II am sorry 1 have not nursery
full of little folks to enjoy its bright
pictures and stories.u
Esop's fables are enjoyed by old and
young and are quoted by the gseatest
orators, and surely these equally charm
ing stories, so profusely and exquisitely
illustrated will charm young and old
for generations to come.
The sale of this book will surely be
enormous. 1t is published by the well
known house of Hubbard Bros, Phila-
delphia, Chicago and Kansas City, to
whom any persons desiring an agency
should apply.

they were there and did hear General

in the meeting, use the bitter and
abusive language set forth in Mr.. VIM.

matter ofcOmment with them at the
time. 1t is positive testimony against
negative.
We further submit to the Gazette
that the story is not "a lie on its face.n
At that time, and for many preceding
years, favorite pastime with smart
Republican stumpers and orators was
to rail at the Irish people because they

While Mr.. Boothman was an attor-
ney at Bryan he seemed to have got
along very well without clerk, but as
soon as he became a Congressman, he
suddenly got the idea that it would be
o nice thing for him to have clerk to
do the work for which the people of
this district selected him, and he there
upon supported bill by his voice and
vote, favoring a clerk for each Con-
gresham at salary of $40 per month
to be paid out of the public funds.
And in his remarks upon this bill he
insinuated that if the people objected
to hiring clerk for him they must be
a "stingy, penurious and cheese-paring
class" How many farmers of this
community in two years make half, or
even one-fourth of the amount paid to
q Congressman, and they labor from
sunrise to sunset, and yet Mr.. Booth
man has the audacity to ask them to
pay him from $4,000 to $4,000 ses-
sion and hire clerk for him also. Mr..
Boothman, as his first term in Con-
gress has demonstrated, possesses too
extravagant ideas to represent farm
ing community like this, and do it in
the interests of the tax payers. Mr..
Boothman's record on the clerk bill
can be found in the Congressional
Record of Jan. II, 1888; pages sos and
sos, the latter page showing how he
voted Wduseon E'rpositor.
