IN BLEAK NEBRASKA.
\ Former Sacramentan VINO Intends
to Return Here.

TO L6eCuHn G1efes
MCCooK, Neb., Dec. Sth.
EDS. RECORD UNIoN: Over eight
months have elapsed since we left the
beautiful State of California, spending
two and a half years there, and since
leaving | have not seen any place so
beautiful. We are very anxious to sell
our real estate interests here and return
to our home in Sacramento. We are be-
sieged with questions about Sacramento
and California in general. People are de-
sirous of obtaining California papers, to
post themselves upon matters IN general.
Many ask what can one do to make a
living. A great many would go and in
vestigate for themselves if the expense
was not so great.
l would suggest that every means be
used to get as low rates as possible dur
ing the Midwinter Fair, as hundreds
would go, and finally settle and make
their homes there. l do not know of any
here who have taken trip to California
who are not arranging to return as soon
as possible. Quite party went from
here last month to settle permanently.
While you are enjoying fresh vegeta-
bleS and fruits, we have not seen them
for months. The fall has been unusually
nice, still we have had one light snow,
and the river was frozen over a month
ago. Most Of the housewives have had to
thaw out things to cook for breakfast
and have found their water pals frozen
over with ice half an inch thick.
l rejoice to think this my last winter in
Nebraska. Give me California, with its
sunshine. fruits and flowers.

Too Much Water.

The great evil threatening our fruit is
so much irrigation, and if It goes on to
the extent now carried, apples, pears and
everything else will become as tasteless
and watery as turnip. We have called
attention to this fact several times, but
the flooding still goes on, and will con-
tinue to do so. probably, until the grower
finds no sale for his fruit in an Eastern
market or anywhere else. The idea is
not only to force the fruit forward early.
but to give it large proportions, and wa
ter, water, is what is to bring this result.
Too much water is as bad, or worse. than
too little. and a profusion of it not only
takes away from the richness and strength
and sweetness of fruit, but so weakens it
as to destroy its keeping qualities, make
it tasteless. and heir to very early rotting.
Those interested in fruiU-growing in Cali
fornia may do we'll by yentilating this
extreme irrigation evil and helping to
check some OF its eXtrayagances. People
in the East. and also at home, will soon
tire of fruit that has nothing to recon-
mend it but size and looks. They want
to please the palate more than the eve.
The latter may be satisfied with some
thing artificial, but the former requires
something real, substantial, and pleasing
to the taste.

HoNoLULU, Dec. 5.-The steamer Ar

to allow Hon. Mckenzie Bowel, Minister
of Trade and Commerce OF Ottawa, Can

led by Theo. ii. Davies. An application

Reporters were excluded from the meet
ing, and it was impossible TO get Oft re-
port of the meeting by the AraWa,
though Mr.. Bowel carries with him

In his speech Mr.. Bowel asked the
Hawaiian Government for financial en-
couragement to the new Cana0ian-A Aus
tralian steamship line, and called atten-
ton 10 the available Canadian market for
Hawaiian products. He also spoke of
the importance OF the proposed cable be-

the Hawaiian Government 10 send rep

posal for new treaty to be entered into
on the part of England through Canada
with Hawaii.
In answer to your correspondent, one
Of the Cabinet said: "Of course no prop
osition has yet been made. We have
nothing before us, but it is not likely we
will enter into any new relations unless
forced to do so by the attitude of the
/ United States. Yes, am inclined to be-
lieYe that the hand and influence OF Eng
land is behind this proposal, and that
proposal tor new treaty Will be made
even before the time for the expiration of
the reciprocity treaty with the I nIted
States. L certainly believe England Is
trying to gain a fOothOld here"
The rumor of disaffectOn in the Gov
ernment here, which has been going
around for some time, proves upon in
quiry to be without foundation. The
| policy of resistance TO either internal or
external force has received the unanl-
nous consent of the Government This
/ is stated upon the best authority.
/ Although two applications have been
made by the Associated Press cOrre-
spondenC for an interview with the eX-
| Queen since the arrival of the steamer
Australia, both have been denied. In
each case he was referred 10 Hon. Paul
Neumann, who seems TO now be the sole
adviser and director of the eX-Queen's
policy and actions.
Yesterday evening the town was filled
with rumors that the ex-Queen was to be
restored this morning at 10 O'Clock.
Later it was learned that the rumors had
arisen among native boatboys. and was
caused by official visits in the morning
by United States Minister Willis to the
British cruiser Champion, and Rear Adj
miral Irwin to the Japanese cruiser Ma
uiwa.
Captain Whitney, who will be married
this evening, will leave with his bride by

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.-An aged man
was run down by a cab az Geary and Tay-
lor streets this evening as he alighted
from Geary-street car. He was taken
unconscious to the Receiving Hospital,
where it was discovered that his skull
was fractured. From papers found in his
pockets it was inferred that his name was
James Tyrrell, and that be was resident
of Sacramento. A racing ticket Indicated
that ne had played Raindrop at the Bay
District track at 40 to ,. There was also a
meal ticket on the Mint restaurant, and
receipt showing that he had paid George
Davis Sl7 80 for attorneys fees in the case
of Very VS.. Wilcox. He had $50 in his
possession. He was about 80 years of
age, and we'll dressed. 1t is probable that

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-Cashier a. J. Rob
inson of the wholesale stamp department
of the Chicago Postotfice was the victim
OF a daring and skillful robbery ct 1880
o'clock tonight. The exact sum of money
stolen is not made known. but is believed
to be several thousand dollars. Robin
son was alone in the Office when Il signal
rap on the door, such as is only used by
employees, was heard. On opening the
door Robinson was confronted by a
stranger, who said: docs your cash
balance?'
NO" said Robinson, sit doesn't"
SlThe stranger then said: Il sent my
boy over to-day for stamps, and he was
given too many. Pve brought them back.
This will probably balance your CASH.
Robinson extended his hand for the
stamps and received a blow on the head
with a club, which knocked him sense
less. He was unconscious when found,
three hours later. The thief left no clue,
as he escaped through window and
dropped money packages containing $3.50.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. ia special to the
Republic from Jacksonville, Fla, says:
1t is stated to-day that a few anti-fight
people here have perfected arrangements
for having Corbett arrested when he ap-
pears here snext Thursday. The Law
and Order League is very reticent,
but it is alleged that a committee
has already had the necessary papers
drawn, and will have an officer arrest
Corbett when he steps from the train
Thursday morning. Should the pugilist
be arrested, friends will be ready with a
writ of hsbeas corpus. This would get
the matter before the courts, which would
suit the syndicate, for it is sure of de-
cision in It's favor.

The news contained in the Associated
Press dispatches is in conformity with

further on the subject, Mr.. Thurston de-
clined, on the ground that it would be

tUde OF the United States Government
towards the country he represented as a

THE Eastern papers of the
better class are full of severe criti-
cism upon the conduct of Governor
Flower of New York in reappoint-
ing Judge Maynard to the Court Of
Appeals. Judge Maynard's orig
inal appointment was the reward
of great political service rend-
cred to the Hill Democrats
by him in stealing certain
election returns. The Bar Asso-
citation of New York city de-
nounced the appointment in the
first instance in strong terms,
and it has now entered an unavail-
ing protest against the appoint
ment. Professional associations of
lawyers and physicians are careful
and conservative bodies, and the
condemnation of a judicial candi-
date by the Bar Association of his
city should be of itself decisive
against him.

unwilling to say anything, but from
other sources it is learned the plan is
substantially this: Let joint com
mittee be appointed, composed of
Senators and Representatives who
will be in the next Congress. Let it
be selected at once by joint caucus.
Let this committee study the existing
reports and statistics, and with the
help Of the new Secretary Of the
Treasury, and experts whom he will
detail for its assistance, prepare q
complete tariff bill. Then let this
bill be published This would pro
badly be about the 1st Of next June.
Immediately the measure would
become the focus Of discussion for
every newspaper, magazine and
speaker in the United States. In
stead of receiving the criticisms of
$50 men in Congress it would be ex
amiued, pulled to pieces and tested
by the entire nation. Let corps Of
collectors be employed to arrange all
the published comments in conve
nient form. Then, when the new
SOuS1 SoO u6eIo III OSptSAOCl VI
October, let the Ways and Means
Committee adopt this bin as its own,
making such alterations as the ma
tional discussions have clearly shown
to be desirable, and put it through
under this plan.
The debate would practically be
over when Congress met. Every
thing would have been said that
could be said, and there would be
nothing left to do but to vote. The
bill could become law before De
cember, and as the public would al
ready be thoroughly familiar with
it, there could be no chance for mis-
representation or panic.
This scheme is likely to attract a
good deal of attention before long.
Representative Compton of Mary
land remarked to-day that the only
objection that he could see to it was
that it would be practically appoint
ing the Ways and Means Committee
in advance, but as the appointments
need not be ratified unless they are
satisfactory to the majority of the
next House, that criticism hardly
seems fatal.

scientific study in the use of the latest
and most approved instruments for the
testing of the eye; am ready to fit your
eyes with proper Glasses, correcting ALL
ERRORS OF REFRACTION, whether
simply NEAR or FAR sight, or the more
complicated SIMPLE or COMPOUND
ASTIGMAIISM from which so many
patients suffer, and which few Opticians
TREAT.
| feel that the public will appreciate
the above announcement as it has been
felt want here for years.
My intention is to give Optics large
share of my attention, and each case
separately Conscientious time and study,
so that the wearing of Glasses will do
what they are intended for, relieve the
strain, and not to tire the eye.
Please bear in mind that there is NO
CHARGE for testing the eye, and that
my prices for all Glasses are the same as
in the States.

TARIFF LEGISLATION IN THE UNITED
STATES.

In another column will be found
q description of a plan for prepar-
ing the Tariff Bill which the Dem
ocratic party will of course intro
duce into Congress. The scheme is
attributed to Representative Geary
and it proposes the formation of
a joint committee of Democratic
Senators and Representatives
to draft bill and publish it as
soon as completed. This would
give an opportunity for several
months public discussion of the
measure throughout the entire
United States, so that its merits
would be well understood when
Congress meets again in the fall.
The matter of tariff revision is
so important, it affects such
a vast number of interests and
affects them in such a complicated
way, that the fullest discussion is
desirable. From this point of
view, Congressman Geary's plan
recommends itself. 1t would oper-
ate to some extent as a referendum,
or submission of a measure to the
people for ratification. Respect for
public opinion in the United States
is so great, that not much would
be likely to be incorporated in the
bill against which there was a de-
cided preponderance of opinion.
The tariff changes in the United
States have always been of the
greatest consequence to Hawaii,
and they will certainly not be less
so in the future.

THE Senate Committee on Immi-
grafton is considering ways and
means for excluding the cholera
from the United States next sum-
mer, in case it should again rage
in Europe. The cause of special
anxiety is the fact that the success
Of the Chicago Exposition would
be wiped out if the cholera should
get much of a foothold. Homo
lulu is interested in the exclu-
sion of cholera from the United
States for a double reason. It's
own freedom from the infection
is of course directly involved. But
Hawaii is very materially interested
in the success of the Fair. The great
question how this country should
be advertised at Chicago has been
effectually settled by recent events,
and the Hawaiian attractions at
the Fair will draw plenty of atten-
ton. This is a grand chance for
the coffee-house, which will be
completely swamped by patrons.
