A CHRIsTMAs GREETING.

We respectfully tender our Christmas
greeting to all the readers Of the TINES, as :
especially do we send them to the memb4
Of every Sub-Allianoe in the County, together
with their wives and children, and hope,
brothers, sisters and friends, that tho Christ
mas Of 1889 will be the most pleasant and
satisfactory you have ever spentj and that
every heart in our quiet country homes may
be made glad for the blessings received, and
and friends.
Let us older folks try to make the children
happy, for how pleasantly does memory re-
vert to the Chrstmasscs of our childhood
days. Then, from one Christmas and hog
killing to tho next, seemed almost an age,
and how longingly did we look for their re-
turn, and with what childish anticipations
were our little stockings hung up to receive
the presents conceived by the precious loved
ones, whose lifeless hands have long since
been folded to rest. And now that We, their
children, have taken their places and be-
come parents, may VIC transmit to our chill
dren fond recollections of innocent Christ
mas joys, as lasting as life itself.
What blessing and pleasure are the
happy, intelligent and innocent children.
Here we may build our monuments and
shape destines that will -l,sst throughout
eternity. What responsibilities for us!
And now what shall we say to you, my
cotemporary writer's for the columns of the
w r,,l, vbo ,ol
pleasant Christmas, q happy Now YeaA
long and useful lives. And to you, friend
+. W. j., and other young bachelors of the
quill, we hope you will have splendid
time with that sweet, innocent, modest little
maiden, and n speedy consummation of the
time when your destinics will be one. We,
too, experienced, in the years gone by, your
uncertain rest Of veal or woe. We wish
you success.

gas" The time for paying taxes. before

We now suggest that the law he so
changed that certain parties in the State
may take their own time in paying their
taxes; or, that no day he specified for the
closing of the tax books If :hc law gave
the lst of February a. the last day for pay

be urged to extend the time until after the
cotton season closed and the cotton buyers

Good Crops at Riverside--A Monstrssity.

RIVERSIDE, Dec. 1S.-Thc crop outlook for
some is better than was expected month
ago; others, however, and not few either,
have made n complete failure. Good crops
seem invariably to follow highly fcrtilizcd
and we'll cultivated farms.
One of my neighbors tells me he will make
one bale of cotton to the plow, while another
about mile distant, makes II bales to the
plow, with corn to feed the mule and hands
to work the crop. Eternal vigilance is the
price of success. What a pity more -of-iis-
don't keep supply Of That wholesome ingrc-
dient always on hand.
A farmer in the county Of Union, Mr., w.
A. Wix, makes this year 80 bales of cotton
with three plOws, and ST. 900 clear profit.
How will that secye for for an ,nRsWfr. tt29. thc

The government is in splendid condition
financially, the national debt being but

The Sandwich islands, Mr.. Hebard
says, are destined on account of their
location, to become of the greatest COM

a much Travelled route. Coal is brought
there from New Zealand, and costs $I9 a

made, and the well balanced company all
acquitted themselves admirably.
There is not room to give the artists
individual mention, but there must be a
word of praise for petite Edna Adams,
whose performances of Eva" was an ad-
mirable one. This little lady is one of the
brightest child artists in the profession and
her appearance with her diminutiye pony
is one of the features of the parade. Taken
altogether, the attraction is the best of the
kind that ever visited Colorado, and this
excellent company will be always welcome

HOME FROM HONOLULU
Messrs. Hebard and Van DeYanter
Returned Yesterday.
They Had a Most Delightful Visit
to the Islands.
The Country, Government, People
and Institutions.

City Attorney Van D~evanter and Alder
man Hebard yesterday returned from a
visit to the Sandwich Islands. The gen
tlemen had an altogether satisfactory
voyage and are greatly improved in
health. Both were interviewed by a
LEADER representative. The audience
with Mr.. Van D~evanter was brief, but
the alderman gave the reporter material
for a good story. He knows more about
the Islands than old Sandwich himself
and can give the cyclopedia mar some
valuable information.
The Americans practically rule the
island and hopefully look forward to
annexation to the United States. They
have formed a secret compact with all
other foreigners, are armed and ready for
any emergency. 1t was Mr.. Merrell, the
American consul wEo presented the visi.
itors to King David Kalakaua, who, by
the way, is a monarch without power.
Louis Kirk says that when Alderman Heb
ard gazed upon the king he turned to Mr..
at DCNdnbCl anu CACldlulCu III SUI III
why l didn't know he was a darkey."
OF course the alderman denies this but
does admit that he lost one meal on ac-
our of sea sickness. His royal nibs
was very gracious to the callers. They
tried on his crown and took observations
from the throne, which is really no throne
at all. kalakaua was elected ruler by the
mobiles over Princess Emma. who has
since died. He is subject to a liberal con-
stitution and the parliament and has
much less power than President Harrison.
Though a bankrupt he lives in fine style,
has an eleglant palace, a body guard of
sixty picked men. The band plays while
he Gates and he has every luxury. The
man has disappated much and is liable 10
drop off any time. Annexation to either
America or Great Britain will then fol-
low. Here is an excellent likeness of the
profigate ruler.
