THE LANDLORDS SIDE.
BILL NYB TELLS WHAT BE KNOWS ABOUT
II Seems 50 Nice to Be BlOated Landlord, With
Rents Flowing in, But William Thinks
It Is Not Always Bed
Of Roses.
rcOpwtoat. 1892. ov Edgar ". Mel

Last year I became landlord and
Taxpayer of New York city. do not
say it In boastful spirit, but humbly
and with my nose all raw for having
groveled a good deal among the belgian
blocks and iron registers through which
the sewer gas now and then escapes.
For many years have heard and read
In the papers how naughty and cold and
wicked the landlord in great city Is.
In the melodrama also he is apt to be
heavy set man, with kohinoor in his
skirt bosom. / had never been one OF
those brutal but we'll fed parties with a
massive gold watch fob concealed under
beetling abdomen peculiar to the land
lord, so In little business deal which
had one morning just before | took me
tub l accepted pleasant building west
of the park as part payment. 1t con-
tanned flats, and these flats contained
tenants.
These tenants no doubt regard me
even now, as 1 write, and while the
toars are yelling up in these red, red
ewes and scattering all over my specta-
cles so that can hardly spell correctly
even now, say, doubtless those ten
ants look on me as cruel man OF great
wealth, who gets tired OF Europe twice
q year, and who sleeps in nice, fresh
crepe du chine nightie every night.
Instead of that l am here in North
Carolina on farm trying TO raise enough
on the place to keep my beautiful New
York hathouse coy and nice for my
tenants. When got the house / thought
that il would help TO maintain the farm
and buy large, nice baritone Shorthorn
cows for same, but 1t has not done so.
Soon after my purchase Of the place
the janitor said that he could not re-
main any longer If his quarters were
not greatly reftted and refurnished. A
friend of his had just got JOB in one OF
the new fiathOuses and his apartments
were so beautiful that my janitor wanted
something similar. sent for him while
in the city and had him come 10 me

l talked there with him quite awhile
to ascertain what he desired in the way
of refitting, etc. After an hours chat
learned that be wanted something sim

I did not throw her out on the street,
as the stage landlord does, or drag her
around over the floor or garnishee her
cork leg, as some would have done, but
l excused her, and she went away.
She said she had lucrative position
with Mr.. DepeW. l inquired about II,
hoping to get some rent that was still
due. found that she was engaged In
shaking the Administer aisle carpets Of
the New York Central and Hudson
River railroad parlor cars.
She saw me coming, and was about TO
hiss something at me through her
ciinched teeth when she remembered all
of sudden that she had taken them
out while she was ct work and left them
on the woodbox.
Professor Dwight says OF the relations
between landlord and tenant under the
common law that independent Of ex-
press clausesi IN the lease, the following
duties are imposed upon the tenants:
First-To pay reEk
Second-To Es6der iealty ~ -
faithful to TIE lsasnr.

Then came vague rumor that one
could get fine apartments in Brooklyn
for much less money, and with social adj
vantages which could not offer; also
club privileges and a straw ride. A
spirit Of discomfort sprang up, espe-
ciaIly in the fat occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Timberlake and a dear little dog
CESS. They were from Herkimer county,
and were living in New York, 1t seems,
for the purpose Of taking on an air OF
refinement, and if possible Mr.. Timber
lake would take on job. So soon az
terward they went over to Brooklyn,
thereby causing the hill On which my
house stands to settle three-quarters OF
an inch.
We now began to advertise at great
rate for tenants. Money that l had laid
aside to buy new set Of harness and
pole straps for the mules here on the
place was used in advertising In the New
York papers, and we could not find the
advertisement either. Nobody but the
man who collected for the advertise
ment could find it for US. He found IL.
But then he was accustomed to it. That
is his business.
It's not pleasant to come right out and
say publicly what lot Of disagreeable
things there are connected with being
landlord. Think Of being at rout or
ball enjoying ones self for q moment
and getting letter from your agent
saying that rats have taken possession Of
the building and are running the eleva-
tor of nights themselves in order to save
climbing the stairs!
Unfortunately the same man who
built my building erected a twin to 1t
on the same street, and another man
owns it. Somewhere he read In paper
that competition is the life OF trade.
and so he lowered his rent little last
pring. Since then / have had to give
my tenants more cut glass and buggy
rides in order to retain them. They
still grumble and threaten, and when /
am away lecturing to packed houses
they write to me If cockroach dies in
the house under suspicious circum-
stances and threaten to move away,
claiming that 1t Is not good neighbor-
hood.
The house is In an aristocratic loca-
ton, and my taxes are in proportion,
and yet one of my tenants, lady from
Shellsburg, Canada, who wears q cork
limb-so 1 am told by custom house
officer-came to me with tears In her
eyes and said that she hoped would
not think that because she now had to
hire apartments she had always been so
poor. Once she was an only child, the
daughter OF wealthy policeman in
Toronto. She was well brought up,
she said, and hated to pay rent. / soon
discovered that this was the case.

Third-To refrain from committing
acts of waste.
Fonrth-To make ordinary repairs.
Fifth-To render up possession ct
the end Of the term.
As landlord am forced to state that
all tenants do not pay rent. Some ask
you to give them months rent In order
to secure them as tenants, and then at
the end of the second month they get
mad and go away because you did not
kiss them good night, or something like
that. Some New York tenants have no
credit anywhere except with the truck
and van men. They lead anomadic life
and rest as well in van as they do any
where.
need not, / may say in closing, refer
to the other divisions Of this subject
made by Professor Dwight and other
eminent jurists. Even the second divi-
sion, requiring under the law that the
tenant shall render fealty to the land
lord, need not be discussed. / tried TO
get into my building shortly after ! had
| purchased IL, and when / told the jani-
tor that l was the owner he said that
was played out. He said that In Feb
ruary a man with q similar air and the
same kind Of red makeup scarf over
! flowing his breast like q bad break In
the Red river or hectic eruption OF
Vesuvius came there and wanted TO see
about the roof-said he was the owner.
He went up stairs and ignored the roof
entirely, but carried away a nice new
overcoat with the pockets full OF Christ
mas presents.
Fealty TO the landlord is now obsolete.
I went one summer afternoon to take
| the children OF my tenants out for
q walk In the park and nice ride In the
swanboats, but one Of them shot az me
with q rubber dip" and another rode
between my limbs on pair OF roller
| skates.
Also little Lord Fauntleroy looking
| lad-a dear mite Of a fellow---put q
large hoppy toad In my umbrella while
! was up stairs, and when l spread IL
on the street the toad fell on the back
OF my neck with q cold, warty PUNK.
/ hate such thing as that thor
oughly.

tried to persuade the rant pony TO do
the same. JIerck brought np the rear
10 q state OF sullen contempt.
At the cross roads Major Skerrett and
his companion met them. II was night
now in the woods. A red belt Of day
behind Dunderberg stared watchfully at
the party.
II will 20 down to the house alone, as
we arranged, whispered the major.
The negro will admit me to the dining
room. Do you be ready on the lawn by
the window at half past eight 1t will
be dark enough for safety by that time.
When open the window and whistle,
jump in and take our man. That Is my
plan. II anything goes wrong l Will
alter It. But nothing will go wrong.
Goodby"
He moved away through the dark
ness.
The party waited in the woods, listen
Ing to the sounds of evening. 1t grew
chilly. Jierck Dewitt retired again and
again, and slipped from his bottle labeled
"Hair OIL" He was ashamed OF himself
for violating his pledge TO the major.
But he solioQuized, 81 am only taking
just enough to keep my spirits up-just
enough to make man OF me after my
making baby Of myself at sight OF that
woman"
Just enoughl 1t is not pleasant to be-
tray the errors Of the past; but 1t Is
truth grave in this history that the un-
happy fellow had much more than
enough when, at half past eight, he
halted his party under cover OF the
shrubbery on the lawn at Brothertoit
manor house.

thing in Hawaii, as it did in Loui-

5. America will be indignant at
Hawaii's injurious act in giving
harbor to her enemy.
6. It is a loathsome act for Ha-
wall to take and swallow down
that filthy reptile which Louisiana
has just vomited out-the lottery
company.
7. Hawaii's name is now good
and honorable. Should this king
dom give harbor to that vile and
piratical thing, then the name of
Hawaii will be despised and
loathed from end to end of Amer
lea, and will become of evil motor
iety in all enlightened nations.
s. That half million is very
paltry price. During late years
America has subsidized Hawaii
from her duties with five or six
million dollars year extra bonus
for our sugars. Very possibly some
great benefit will again be bestowed
unless Hawaii acts injuriously to-
wards America, our great neighbor.
Therefore, Hawaii, cherish your
honorable name loathe this wicked
act; fear the Lord ; stand fast in
benevolence and righteousness, and
give reply to this foul monster, the
Lottery Company, as Peter did to
Simon Magus-"Thy money perish
with thee! !"

THE LOTTERY MONSTER.
sMITE IT, o HAWAII

sMITE 1T, 0 HAWAII !
TRANSLATION of Leaflet in Hawaiian by
s. e. b.
All parts of the United States
have lately resounded with the
outcry of Louisiana S struggle with
that octopus monster, the Lottery
Company. All Louisiana's limbs
were fast bound by the remorseless
tentacles of the monster. Great
sympathy and aid went out to
Louisiana. The leading men of
all parties throughout America
were unanimous in indignant OPP
position to the Lottery Company.
One cause of their detestation
and hatred was this; that lottery
sent out it's swindling tickets and
sold them in all the towns and
cities of the country. Thus they
pirated the quarters of the be-
guiled poor, and absorbed from the
INDECENT $25, 100000 year. There
fore all America Joined in one
accord to aid Louisiana, and there
was joyful triumph together at the
total expulsion of that piratical
corporation from the bounds of
their great empire.
But, as it would seem, their trou-
BILE is not over. This Satanic mon
ster is artful. He has sought a
new home for himself where to
abide and renew his depredations
on America. Here comes this great
octopus (tree squid) to entwine
Hawaii in his tentacles. He is
exhibiting the golden bait of $780,
900 a year, if we will permit him
to dwell in Honolulu and con-
tinue his robberies Of America.
Let Hawaii smite this monster
octopus, lest she become fast shared
in its tentacles.
1. The lottery is a business o.
swindling and robbing the poor
people in Hawaii.
2. Lottery tickets are mighty tx
upset mems reason, and send then
madly selling all their property t.
buy those deceitful tickets.
3. In seeking riches from tn
lottery, the multitude forsake tn
diligent labor that makes then
prosperous, and the land falls int
poverty.
4. All business, all the new:
papers, the stores, the banks, tn
courts, will become fast boun
under this malignant thing.

The MONITOR is in receipt of a COM
munication from a gentleman from
West Derby, in which he complains
that the Express and Standard by ac-
cident, perhaps, locates the Memphre-
magog Driving Park in Newport. He
inquired for information of the E1-
press and learned that the Park was
really situated near the village of
West Derby, and in Derby. While
the people of the village of West Derby
rejoice in the growth and achievements
of Newport, they sometimes feel a
little piqued, to say no more, to have
the neighboring village claim the
'Eearth," or that part of it east and
north of the bridges, which connect
the towns of Newport and Derby
The two villages are closely allied in
business interests, and they are each
in some measure dependent on the
other. There ought to be, and is for
the greater part, no feeling of rivalry
and no disposition to belittle the one,
or to appropriate more than is just to
claim on either side. 1t would be
well, however, to remember that the
Park is on the West Derby side, and
that several hundred people over
there are to q considerable extent
self reliant and self supporting. They
want what belongs to them; they
claim no more.
