Awl that glitters is not gold, because

If nobody had q passion for acquiring

All the worlds stage, and all the

Many young man who sows his

AWARD FOR A MUsTACHE.

The young man who looks hopefully
upon the first hirsute suspicion of
manly insignia on his frontal regions
would be shocked at any sort of money
appraiSement of the budding effort.
There are not many cases recorded
where the courts have been called upon
to adjudicate in this matter. In the
New York courts case was recently de-
cided that indicated the damage caused
by the loss of full-blown mustache. A
few years ago tailor, who had all the at
fractions his art could add to the gener--
osity of nature, had as his most striking
feature mustache that made him the
envy of all male observers and the
pet of the ladies. A brother artist,
who had been thrown into the shade
by its means, allowed his chagrin
and social defeats to take the
most malicious form. In the moments
of slumber of his more successful rival
he stole upon him with the scissors and
cruelty reft that ornament of its SYM
metry by cutting off three inches from
one side. This compelled the removal
of the remainder. The matter went
into court, the shorn victim suing for
$1,000 as the damage. The case has
been in litigation for years, but was
lately decided by an award of six cents
to the tailor. There were evidently no
young men Oh that jury. The mus
tache is very largely legacy of the
war. Martial fierceness was indicated
by it. But If it is worth but six cents, a
vast amount of care and nutriment are
expended to small financial purpose. In
this New York case the plaintiff wanted
to appeal to the United States supreme
court because the chief justice wears
the same style of mustache, but the six
cent quotation will probably stand.

Likes TO Give Things.

A man who is able to do 100000, 900 of
business In year, with generous finan-
cial frills crowding about him, can dis
pense sunny rays in his vicinity numer-
Ously. if disposed. Phil Armour, who
has been alluded to In connection with
cattle and hogs in Chicago. is said to be
q very genial and generous character
He does not, probably, take the Carne-
gle view, that he is only a trustee for
the public, but seems to feel joyial sat
isfactiOn in seeing others enjoy things.
One of his most common practices is to
send needy friends and persons in his
employ who do good service, to his
tailor for suit of clothes. and when
they come back for inspection. he will
look them over and say: '.By Jove,
you look as slick as scraped hog" or
something similar. He always remem-
bers those who do specially clever work.
They all carry gold watches, and wear
good clothes. One, a few weeks ago,
had balance of $4,000 due for house
wiped out. That is the great adyan-
tage of wealth. 1t can be used to make
things cheerful for people not able to
acquire it. Some who have it are, how
ever, unhappily forgetful on this point.

AFRICAN MIGRATION.

1t is reported in the recent dispatches
that quite number of the more intelli-
gent colored men ia Alabama are
anxious to avail themselves Of such aid
as is proposed in the BUTLER bill to go
to Africa and found a colony. If they
cannot be assisted by the government,
it is to be hoped that some colonization
society will enable them to make the
experiment of founding colonies that
may develop into great nation. Per-
haps there are more favorable condi-
tons than those that attended the
movements of this kind hitherto. In
the historic times it is not recalled that
any very notable success has been
achieved by the negro in the way of ex-
ploration or as the pioneer of civilization.
There have been In the past few years
movements Of considerable bodies of
colored people from one state to an
other, but no important results have
transpired. No new communities have
indicated the capacity of the race for
high attainment and self-assertion. It
would be well if enough could be en-
couraged to go to Africa to fully test
their possibilities. 1t is continent
best adapted to their race, and of almost
boundless natural resources. 1t may
always be dominated by blacks. If they
are capable of developing the highest
civilization and founding and main
tanning great and prosperous nation,
Africa apparently affords the only
available opening. 1t is not presumed
that any possible deportation could
sensibly affect the numbers of colored
people in this country in this genera
ton, but the time might come when
they would be able to migrate over the
water as the millions have come to this
country from the old world. Things
that used to be impossible are becoming
quite feasible.

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST
What the Solons May Do This
Week.

week.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-For the first
time since the present congress met the
house is to have an Old-fashioned sus-
pension day Tomorrow result of the
new code of rules. The worlds fair
committee will probably request the
house to adopt it's programme for the
disp ,stion of its bills and reports, and
,.4o simple majority vote necessary to
make this order will doubtless be Sc
cured. In case this is done, the work
ing days of the week will be devoted to
the presentation of the claims of the
cities contending for the worlds
fair and balloting upon the site.
The pension appropriation bill will
probably be reported to the house Tues
day and may be called up near the
end of the week for consideration. The
Blair educational aid bill is the unfin-
iShed business on the senate calendar,
and Senator Blair states that he will
call it up for debate at every opportu-
nifty. He will require two more DAYS in
which to complete his speech, provided
he is not compelled to yield any of the
time for the consideration of other bust
ness. The debate will he participated
in by a number of senators, including
Messrs. Stanford, Evarts, Higgins,
Chandler aud Wilson Qowa). Several
Republican senators have indicated a
purpose to call up the resolution, still
pending, asking the attorney general to
submit to congress the report, if any
has been made, by the United States
marshal for Mississippi on the assault
at Aberdeen upon Henry FAM, the In
diana man who united the rope sustain
ing the effigy of Secretary of War Proc
tor. Ii this is done there will be re-
newal of the discussion Of the Southern
political situation. Mr.. Sherman has
given notice that he will ask the senate
this week to consider his bill dec airing
trusts unlawful, and tomorrow Senator
Piatt, of the committee on territories,
will report fayorably with request for
early consideration the bill for the adj
mission of Idaho as state. The report
will embody the recent decision of the
supreme court affirming the validity of
the Mormon test oath contained in the
constitution adopted for the proposed
new state

Etiquette in Canada.

1t would not be surprising if a matter
of social etiquette should have material
influence in detaching Canada from the
connection it still has with the British
authorities. Lord STANLEY, the gov
ernor general, was familiar with So
cial customs in England, but not on this
side of the water. He decided to omit
the state ball this winter, nominally on
account of the i'll health of Lady STAN
LEY, but the local view is that he did
not want to have the common herd
focking into his august presence. To
add to the popular aggravation, he has
given or sent out the invitations for two
dances, and Disseminated according to
his personal preferences only. He in
cluded only those of the blue blood and
aristocratic persuasion, emitting all
faint of commOnaity. This left out
members of parliament. many of the
men of wealth, and the elite of Cana
dian society. About all the influential
classes are hot with rage, and the case
is striking object lesson on the absurd
Ity of sending over the water for a
chief ruler. i-

Press this week in commenting upon
the attempt of the Louisiana lottery to

These expressions are Interesting and
amusing to the readers of the Pioneer
Press who have witnessed the self-de-
hatchery of the sheet during many years
past by the surrender of advertising
space to the Louisiana lottery. At the
present time, the Northwestern News
paper union, which is virtually part
of and under control of the Pioneer
Press company, makes a regular prac
tice of publishing, in its ''patent in.
Sides" seductive notices of prize draw
ing sof the Louisiana lottery.
In one OF these sheets used by the
Chippewa Falls Workman, in its Issue
of Feb. 8, is such notice headed: SIN
creased Fifteen Thousand Foid-A Very
Lucky Countryman' In another of
these ready-made sheets print
ed by the Union and dated
Feb. 10 Qast Monday is a
similar notice headed: Earl Wheel
er's Good Luck" 1t will not be denied
that these are paid for and that the Pho
neer Press company shares we'll in the
proceeds, though such advertising is
contrary to law. But in the form used,
it presents the lottery infamy In the
most attractive way, and has an infiu-
ence more demoralizing than it would if
appearing In the display advertise
ments. The Pioneer Press has evil
IDENTITY little regard for the jewel of con-

TOO SICK TO GO TO SCHOOL.

When Brother Jack and 1 were boys,
Full twenty years ago,
We never feared to go to school
Through storms of sleet and snow.
But summer weather made US sick
When forests beckoned COOL
Not sick enough to feel bad,
But too sick 10 go to school.
On rainy days, thro' seas Of mud
Undauntedly we sailed,
But when the pleasant weather came,
Our constitutions failed.
Or if a circus CHANGED to come
II found US, as a rule,
Not sick enough TO feel bad,
But too sick to go to school.
Oh. often In the morning
We woke in woeful plight,
But after father went to work
Our illness all took flight.
We hunted up our fishing rods
And sought some shady pool
Not sick enough to feel bad,
But too sick 10 go to school.
One day our father happened homo
AS we come Struggling in,
And drew us gently Ger the edge
or the potato bin.
That afternoon we sadly sat
Beneath the teachers rule;
Quite sick enough to feel bad,
And too sick to- 60 TO school.

SOME one has made the computation
that in 1850 the capitalists had 81 per
cent of the wealth of the country. and
nearly 70 per cent in 1880. Then it is
noted that all the nations that have gone

wealth in the hands of the few. Egypt

that the present party in power is de-
feated. and that at least a majority of
the national reform party have been
elected. In general the natvIe and labor
element favored the latter party. On
the island OF Oahu, on which Honolulu
is situated, this party elected all the
nine mobiles for the Legislature and seven
