bees spread the pollen of meadow clo-
yer, which is large source of supply
for the honey-bee. No old maids, no
cats: with no cats, the mice would
greatly increase, destroy the humble

Of the world.
These thoughts owe their origin to a
thing Of somewhat like nature-the ap-
parent remoteness OF cause aud
effect. When THE GAZETTE Of
fered scholarship in Hardin col
| lege to a Texas girl who
should obtain the greatest number OF
votes in a contest for that prize, it had
| nothing in view save the comforting
upon worthy and popular young lady
the means OF obtaining good educa-
ton, and, incidentally. the starting up
Of something OF an entertaining nat
ure to enliven the dullness OF the sum-
mer months. The GAZETTE protests
| that nothing OF malevolence was in its
mind when this thing began, and that
the thought OF raising the spirit Of
poetry that this contest has broug hit
upon us was as far from Us as are the
poles from each other.
Who could have projected his mind
so far in the future as 10 suspect that
this scholarship contest would inspire
the preparation OF this:
Little drops of water"
Little grains of dirt
Mix il al together,
Makes quite lump
Or who, less than a prophet, could
have foretold that the outcome OF sim
pie trial of popularity between inno-
cent girls could lead to the affection OF
whole community in such manner:
A charming little city on the beautiful
Staked Plains,
Where it Eghtens and thunders and fire.
Quently rains.
Where cayotes MARBLE and the mustangs
sing,
And the scream of the plover and curlews
sing!
Before going further. THE GAZETTE
hopes to be pardoned for quoting the
subjoined cuplet as Jan awful exam
pie of what the spirit of poetry can do
when it spreads its wings and scars
aloft:
herewith chug in twenty-four:
And next week viii chug some more.
These are few, but very few, ex-
amples OF the fearful visitation that
The GAZETTE has unwittingly,b
upon It's readers. We forbear quoting
from the productions OF little Tommie
Pants. That depraved urchin is, I'M
like Falstaff, not only evil in himself
but the cause of evil in others, for not
only does he write poetry. but he in
vites the writing OF poetry by others
who, doubtless, would have been inno-
cent-miuded enough but for that pro-
vocation.
Can THE GAZETTE be held to blame
for these calamities: An unprecedented |
and fair-minded public If the public
can be unprejudiced and fair-minded |
under this load will acquit this paper
OF any intentional wrong-doing in the
matter, for, as we said in the outset,
and remote consequences
spring from events very
foreign to them, and q month ago The
GAZETTE could see no more connection
between balloting and poetry than
there appears to be between old maids
and honey.

same place in the Episcopal church as
the Young Mems Institute in the Cath

the young men are preferred.
The first address last evening was by
the Rt. Rev. Willard Nichols, D. d.

Rev. M. Taylor, OF Riverside, who or

WHAT BECOMES OF IT?
A COUNTY FUND WHICH MYSTERI.
,OUSLY DISAPPEARS.
Why Do the Supervisors Refuse to Re-
turn Money to Which They Have no
Claim-A Correspondents Queries.

EDITORS HERALD 1t might interest
the taxpayers committee to learn what
becomes of the fund accumulated every
year by the sale of property for delin-
quent county taxes, upon which the
taxes are really paid. When the owner
of a certain piece of land has paid taxes
upon it for years, he is often surprised
to find it ON the delinquent tax list as
sessed to some one else, or to an un-
known owner. In due time the tax col
lector advertises the fact that the taxes
are not paid on this land, and he finally
sells the land to some one who is willing
to pay the tax and let the owner redeem
it at his convenience, taking the penalty
allowed by law as interest on the money
he advances. When he learns from the
owner that the taxes were really paid,
he should be able to recover his money
by demand upon the board OF super
visors, but payment is refused and gives
rise to suspicion that this is a scheme
to provide fund for themselves. The
county tax collector may say that he was
not aware that the tax was already paid,
but ii he is not he ought to be, because
he has given receipt to the owner and
his books show the fact, and also that he
has again collected the tax for the same
year on the same land, by sale.
The buyer of the tax certificates feels
that he has been swindled his money
has been obtained under false pretenges.
AS those who have taken it refuse to
give it back, he tries to get the owner OF
the land to pay it, and so one wrong
brings about another. In the mean
time which one of the county officers
profits by this steal?
When such mistakes occur in the
office of the city tax collector, the
money is refunded, and why not by the

LiiiuOkalani Discourses on Hawaiian
American Relations.


LiiiuOkaIani Discourses on Hawaiian
American Relations.
SAN Francisco, May 1.-The Examin-
er's Honolulu special quotes Queen Lii
iuokalani as stating that in the event
of the rejection of the proposed new
treaty between Hawaii and the United
States, commerce between the two
countries would greatly diminish, and
eventually pass out of American control.
THE greater part of our provisions,
machinery, lumber, hardware, and nu-
merous other commodities" said the
queen, twill be rendered less profitable
by the action of the American people,
and will practically ruin permanent in
vestments now owned here, by many
hundreds of American citizens. These
investments are very large and valu-
able, certainly exceeding $4,000, 900,
and are largely increasing every year.
Queen Lilinokalani intimated that Min
lister Carter would resign his post at
Washington, as his sympathy was with
the Americans and not with the islands,
and being opposed to the new treaty.
Speaking of the congressional action
on surveys for cable between San
Francisco and Honolulu, the queen said
a cable would be of inestimable benefit
to the islands.

BOSQUrS FINE.
An Accommodation Which Savors
Strongly of Favoritism.

An Accommodation Which Savors
Strongly of Favoritism.
Is there such thing as favoritism
manifested by the authorities of this
city in their treatment of public often
ders? The following statement of facts
is sufficient to enable any one to draw
an inference for himself.
On the 2lst day of April officer Bos-
qui, of the police detective force, was
arraigned before Justice Owen on a
charge OF battery preferred by Max
Harris. Bosqui pleaded guilty, was
fined $25, and was given until 5 O'Clock
of the afternoon of the 22d in which to
pay the fine. That fine still remains
unpaid, or at least had not been paid at
a late hour yesterday afternoon.
A visit to the city auditors Office elic-
tied the information that Bosqui's de-
mand for eighteen days work, being up
to the date of his suspension for con-
duct unbecoming an officer, had been
presented and duly audited in the
amount of $42 on the Goth. On the
same day the warrant was cashed at the
treasurer's Office, to w. +. De Groot,
the broker, Bosqui having signed the
claim over to him for collection.
Why has not that fine been paid? II
a citizen is convicted of battery, and is
fined, he has to pay or go to jail.

THAT PRESIDENTIAL BANQUET
A Los Angelenos Talks About 1t in
San Francisco.


Captain Siemens [Seamans p, of Los
Angeles, was at the Palace hotel last
night, says Thursdays San Francisco
Examiner, full of the Los Angeles din
ner difficulties. Concerning the jeal-
ousies and Misunderstanding of the
the southern burg, he said:
"Why, the Republicans of Los Angeles
wanted the president to dine at the
Union League club the day he visited
us, so we telegraphed to Ell Paso asking
the president if he would dine. 1t cost
us $40, but we sent the dispatch. The
president accepted. Meanwhile the
three persons in the opposition, Messrs.
Harrison Grey Otis, Colonel Osborne
and Colonel Finley, set dinner in the
Hollenbeck more elaborate than ours.
The president didn't answer their dis
patch. but they seemed to think that
no news was good news, and went to
buying champagne and food. The pres
ident dined at the Union League, and
the committee at the Hollenbeck re-
ceived a petition from the Orphan
asylum and Ladies' Relief society ask
ing that any cold meats left over be ex-
pended in charity. So, if you hear of
ahy trouble in the Los Angeles camp
you may know the reason why"

embrace all loyal citizens, whether ma
tive born or adopted, who have
the love of our flag in their
hearts. l shall speak tonight,
probably, at the banquet of business
men, and will not enter into any lengthy
discussion here. Indeed, am careful
not to trespass upon any forbidden topic
that may not in the smallest degree
offend those who have forgotten party
politics in extending this greeting to us,
andI do not know how far / should talk
upon these public questions; but since
your chairman has alluded to them,
can say | am in hearty sympathy with
the suggestions he has made. believe
there are methods by which we shall put
the American flag upon the sea again. In
speaking the other day used an illus
tra,ion which will perhaps be apt in this
company of merchants. You recall, all
of you, certainly those OF my age, the
time when no merchant sent out travel
ing men. He expected the buyer to
come to his store. Perhaps that was
we'll enough, but certain enterprising
men sought custom by putting travelling
men with samples upon the road. How
everl the conservative merchant re-
garded that innovation, he had but one
choice-to put travelling men on the
road or go out of the business. In this
question of shipping we are in similar
condition. The great commercial gov
ernments of the world have stimulated
their shipping interests by direct or in
direct subsidies while we have been
saying, "No, we prefer the old way"

for your greeting and bid you good bye.
JOHN AND JERRY SPEAK.
Postmaster-General Wanamaker and
Secretary Rusk were then called on for
speeches, and responded in vein that
caused much laughter and applause.
In the course of his speech, the post
master general in response to cries of
'postoffice." said: ''I'd like to buy
something before go away, if anyone
of you can be found to sell it. For about
five years the United States government
| has been trying to give you a
postofice. You're all busy loading
your ships with wheat, but
no one seems to want to sell plat of
ground to the government to build a
postoffice on. One fine site am apt to
find is on Market street, and this one
is locked up, unless a certain price is
paid, and that price is the price of the
plat in about nine years in the future
So, gentlemen, we may have to leave
your beautiful state with nothing but
our best wishes"

After lunch the president proceeded
to the Mechanics pavilion, where the

pavilion was gaily decorated and crowded
