To SUBSCRIBERS.

Since the days commenced growing
short aud the mornings dark, there has
been much complaint among the patrons
of the REGISTER about the frequent loss
Of their favorite morning paper. The
complaint is general, but it is specially
annoying on Main street from the bust
ness centre as lar north as Seventh
street. That the majority otthese COM
plants are caused by thefts, the REG
IsrER has no doubt. II patrons will
kindly provide safe place for the de-
livery of the paper by the carrier, it
will help materially.
The REGISTER will pay $40 reward
for the arrest and conviction Of any one
caught stealing the REGISTER.

HOW IT BECAME POPULAR.

When people find an article much superi.
or to anything of the kind they have ever
before used, they are almost sure to tell
their friends about it, and especially if they
know of some friend needing such an article.
Dealers also soon learn the true value of
their goods, and when they have an article
of unusual merit they will almost invariably
mention the fact to their customers. This
accounts in a great measure for the large

I"EfO or 4 KIND.

1t looks as though the, Oregon
ian and the New York Times
would have to draw straws to see
which is entitled to the prize for
its misanthropic essay on the
character Of James G. Blaine.
Each cited act after act of the
dead statesman's noble service
to his country; of the various
broad and stateslDanlike measures,
both national and international,
Of which Blaine was the author;
Of the bgilIiancy Of his diplomacy

could command and the widest
enthusiasm to which he could stir
the soul of the entire nation; and
Of the hold pre- eminent he had
upon the affections Of the Ameri-
can masses. All this his critics
acknowledge; and recognizing the
facts, the verdict Of the magnan-
imOus world is that: "Biaine was

"TIfE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT.

The newspapes are slowly COM
inc around to the good old ego
Slow policy regarding Hawaiian
annexation. AS we anticipated
the windy talk is gradually dying
out. The San Francisco report
pointedly observes that there is
a great deal of wild talk by politi-
clans who want some hobby by
winch TO work themselves into
prominence; but thinks the United
States government will preserve
its dignity, hear both sides of the
squabble on the island, and do the
just thing by all concerned. The
Astorian, too, with deep, clear
vision into the true inwardness of
the annexation scheme, probes
into the would be made eXcres-
cence of American political job
berry with the keen steel of fact
that goes to the core Of the the
wiley piece of jugglery. 1t says:
Those who oTerthrew the native
queens rule did so for financial
reasons pure and simple, and this
is another complication. Claus
Spreckels, the wealthy sugar plant
er and refner. has already made
over 100000 out Of the revolu-
tion and the annexation talk. On
Friday last the stock of the Hawaii
Commercial Company was sold
at ten cents a share. Saturday it
Jumped to $6 share and, as
he and his sons had bought in al
that could be obtained, they are
almost the sole gamers. Now, il
the islands should become United
States territory the 100000 shares
Of this company would probably
60 up TO $50 Or more share
the figures they were quoted a
a few years ago-and the Spreckel:
would make millions out Of this
one concern alone.
Then there is the bounty Of
cents a pound to be paid to Amer
can sugar planters under the Nc
Kinley bill. If the United States
will continue to pay this bounty
and Hawaii becomes part of thE
| United States the Spreckles fam
lily will get. several millions every
year Oh that account. It is, there
fore, as clear as anything can b.
that the so-cailed revolution a
Honolulu and the demand for an
nexation are part of a schem'
having but one object, and tha
is putting money into the pocket
of the rich planters and thei
satellites. TO oblige them thi
country is to be burdened with
most undesirable population, ant
all that this implies, and more thar
our workingmen probably ever
suspect now.
