THERE is but a small volume of
travel from Europe to the Worlds
Fair, making a poor return for the
millions spent at Paris and Vienna,
and annually along the continental
xcursion route, by American tourists.
One reason for this neglect is doubtless
the location Of the big show. Chicago,
despite its size, is not worlds capt.
tai, and the impression made upon
the European mind by an American
exposition there is the same as the
idea a citizen of the United States
would get Of a French worlds" fair
at LYONS or an English one at Man
chester. The thing is looked upon
as a local institution. Then again, ar
European, who would be willing
enough to board steamer and &C
direct to the fair - as he could do If II
had been held at New York-has nc
desire to subject himself to 1000 miles
of land railway travel in an unfamliai
country. Therefore, he spends The
summer at his tavorite watering place
and let's Chicago shift for itself.

MONDAY, : JULY 81, 1898.
RESTORATION DAY.

This is the tiftieth anniversary OF the
restoration of the Hawaiian colors after
they had been lowered on these Islands
by Lord George Paulet and the British
flag raised. Just half century this
afternoon-on Monday, July 81, IS43
the ceremony took place. The plain
east of what was then the grass.hut
village Of Honolulu, region now en-
bracing Thomas square, was chosen as
the place ofassembly and there gathered
thousands of native Hawaians and the
whole white population. A flagstaff
had been put up and lanais and tents
were built up around it.
At 10 o'clock A. NJ. the king and
Admiral Thomas appeared and were
saluted by the British marines and the
field artillery. The British colors were
dropped in salute to His Majesty and
the Hawaiian standard was drawn tt
the top of the staff amid salvos from
the forts and the feet in the harbor.
Services followed at the old stone
church and there were luaus and sports,
including a great feast given by the
king at Luakaha, Nuuanu Valley,
which continued for ten days.
The act of restoration was long re
garded as one of magnanimity on
the part of England, but events proved
that it had been one of pique by
Admiral Thomas. 1t seems that Lord
George Paulet, commander of the
British ship Carysfort, whose flag had
been raised here, reported the facts
directly to the Admiralty, and not 10
the Admiral, his superior officer. When
the latter heard of it he came and
made good the affront to his dignity by
undoing Paulet's work. 1t is signifi'
cant of the way this act was received
in England that Lord Aberdeen should
have said, on hearing Of it, that if ii
had not been for the Admiraps course
the flag would not have been Withdrawn
at all. 1t was urged all over England
that Great Britain had lost a coveted
opportunity.
One interesting reflection, apropo:
of the day, is what the present state o
public opinion in the United States
would be regarding these Islands /
England had held them and incorpor
ated them with the British Empire. /
is certain that there would be unan
nous contempt for the policy which
had left for English seizure an 1slanc
which American missionaries had civil
lied and, one which lay in the track o
American commerce, and would have
SO great future bearing upon the de
fenSlVe WelIdTt Vi NSSttiu h'uSIitf'
1t would be pointed out in thousan'
newspapers now that the act had lief
England in command Of the Nortl
Pacific; and there would be
demand for millions TO fortify Sar
Francisco, Puget Sound and San Dleg'
against us. Certainly not voice
would be raised in the United State
against any reasonable method o
acquiring the group from England an!
more than there would be against TIT
peaceful acquisition of Bermuda.
And yet here is the United State
hesitating over a free tender of tn
Islands by their Government when tn
result of refusal to accept them nigh
be their acceptable prefer to Grea
Britain.

The fact that the American navy is
short of men is not at all strange. The
average young citizen OF the United
States has no use for profession III
which he cannot hope to rise and as
for the common run of sailors they
prefer doing duty in the merchant
marine to taking long billet with
Uncle Sam. If the American Govern
ment wishes to get plenty of good
intelligent American-b"rn sailors let il
recruit them as Napoleon did bis
troops. "Every French soldier" SAID
the great conqueror, ''carries a mar
shals baton in his knapsack." Thai
is to say, the volunteer knew that merit
would bring him the highest rewards

Of passing ones life in a hattouchine
existence, with a boatswain's whistle

FRIDAY
ADISHONEST SURVEY.

AS stated in a communication from
Gold Hill, Nevada, published last
week. arrangements are being made
to re-survey the boundary line be-
tween California and Nevada. Pro-
lesser Davidson Of the Coast and
goedstic survey, is preparing to run
the line from Lake Tahoe to the
Needles. The present Won Schmidt
survey places the angle of the bound
ary lines on the East shore of the
Lake, instead of within it, and it Is
possible that tho new survey will
take a small slice off four counties in
Nevada. As stated before, too much
interest cannot be taken in this mat
ter by the citizens of the State, for,
as can be seen by the records, it is
not long since line was run neces-
stating considerable expense and
labor, and from what we have learned
it would not be too broad to assert
that the scheme is being worked for
private interests, which will prove
detrimental to the citizens OF the
State of Nevada, and should any
action be taken which would seem or
appear in the least contrary to Justice
and the wishes of the people, pro
test should be made by the citizens
of the whole State.
California with its millions Of
wealth and territory, is not content
with sucking the orange, but wants
the peeling, and will finally convert
the core to its own selfish possessions.

What Might Have Been.

1t now transpires that Squire Alb
binnton left his millions to his
mother and done to Mrs Langtry.
1t must have given the Jersey
Lily feeling of keen chagrin to
learn the contents of the document,
for theSqmre had promised her nils
lion in his will. But these English
sporting men are very uncertain. 1t
seems to the writer that she would
have been lots better off had sh 9
taken his advice years ago when she
bought &c ceres of land in Carson.
Had she dol this she would have
settled down in the finest climate on
earth, married some good thrifty
farmer and gone to raising potatoes
and babies,
Think where she would have been
this Spring when spuds touched $50
a ton, had she taken our advice, IN
addition to which her kids could
have taken the measles, in a mild
form, from ours.
Water came down early from Lake
view this year and Schulz, Brannan,
Rafetto and Sweeny didn't mix up
in the annual water suit with the
Holstein ranch. This would have
given Mrs. Langtry an early start
on her adjoining 40 acres, and with
eggs in big demand, at 40 cents, her
hens would have been a Joy and
delight to her. 1t always seemed to
us like golden opportunity thrown
away when she neglected to improve
that 40 acres of sage brush property,
a proceeding that would have landed
her right into the hearts of the peo-
pie and the agricultural district.
She couldn't lose running a rancf

potatoes were only SIG a ton, sh'
could easily drop the hoe, hire TIT

The Next Day.

Some of the Shepherdstown folks
who went 10 the Inauguration last
week got enough Of the weather and
other discomforts pretty soon, and
Sunday they struck for home. When
they got to Shenandoah Junction
they found that no teams could be
driven between that place and Shep-
herdstown, as the roads were com
pletely blocked by snow-drifts. Then
il was a choice between waiting a
bic part of the day and night or
walking the six miles between the
Junction and Shepherdstown. 1t
was hard to decide which was the
worst However, good many walk
ed. and from noon until dark the un-
happy victims struggled into town
and sneaked into home the back way.
1t was tough walk. IL you took
the railroad you got tired to death
ip-tip-tipping along the ties that
were placed at such eXasperatingIy
uneven distance from each other. ii
YOU took the road for it you had first
snow. then mud, then more mud
next YOU would have to climb fence
and slip and slide through field, or
stick close to fence and have black
berry bushes scratch your face and
neck. A moderate estimate OF the
fences that had to be climbed is about
a hundred and fifteen. The railroad
ties numbered $3.50. While you
were walking you would think OF the
President in the White House, toast
ing his shins before the fire, with
champagne and milk punch at hi'
right hand and four or FIVE kinds oil
pie at his left-mavbe wearing gold
crown on his head-and drawing hi;
pay OF about six dollars an hour
Then you would take solemn oath
that you would never attend another
inauguration-certainly not within
the next four years.
And yet, for all this misery. those
who waited at Shenandoah Junction
envied those who walked home.

performances Early in the session
an effort was made to bulldoze news

it failed. Tuesday Mr.. Edwards Of
fered a resolution etnsuring the
Wheeling Register, someone added the
Wheeling MteHigsncer, while yet an
other wanted TO put OH the list the
Shepherdstown REGISTER and the
Charleston Gazette. After a consider
able amount OF talk by various mem
bers, Mr.. cambridge expressed his
opinion that the whole discussion
was ridiculous, and the resolution
was withdrawn.
