There exists widespread and ire
pressible mania for mutilating the sill
YER and gold coins of the United States
by turning them into loclsets, charms,
bowls for spoons and other articles OF
ornament and personal adornmcnt.
Happily, the fashion of attaching them
to bracelets as bangles has gone out.
The demand for bangles few years
ago brought into existence all over the
country, as if by magic, gilt and gold
pieces in imitation OF the gold dollar.
These found n ready sale, and in some
instances become current as genuine
money. A vigorous crusade against
the manufacturers induced them to
alter their designs. Clusters of coins
for paper weights and for the tops of
candy boxes to make them look as il
they were overflowing with money are
always popular. OF the latter the Sc
crct service captured and contiscatcd
several thousand during the last year.
The counterfeiter has found use of
his own for these clusters. When
caught in the act of making these
false coins he is provided with num-
ber of clusters already put together.
lie points to them as evidence that he
is simply engaged in making clusters
of coins for ornamental purposes

Ten years ago when fruit trees were
first introduced into the valleys of the
Gunnison and Uncompahgre it was
somewhat of and open question whether
they would bring forth reward for the
labor. But it is no longer question.
From the time the first trees came into
bearing there has neyor been crop
failure, and every year has brought forth
an abundant harvest Of the very choicest
fruits which have commanded the high
est prices on every market where they
have been introduced.
Thousands upon thousands Of trees and
vines are bearing every year producing
over 100000 pounds of choice fruit an
nually and this is but a commencement.
As nearly as the number can be comput-
ed by freight receipts, and the output Of
home nurseries Delta county fruit grow
ers in 1893 planted over 700,OOOfruit trees,
not counting the many small fruits plant
ed. The planting for 1894 promises to
exceed 100000 trees; one firm alone hav-
ing contracted for 100000 trees. When
of fruit will be beyond the grasp of
Imagination.
There is no fruit grown in the temper
ate zone which does not flourish in these
valleys. Among those in bearing are
apples, pears, peaches, grapes, ounces,
apricots, plums, nectarines, gooseberries,
currants, blackberries, raspberries, mul-
berries, Strawberries, and ell Of finest
flavor.
The natural resources which help the
fruit-grower are an abundance Of sun
shine; plenty OF water; no insects; no
tornadoes; no haistorms, and winters go
mild no trees are killed by cold weather
While the growth of fruit is the parti-
cular industry in which Delta county
excels yet there are other industries in
which it ranks well with other commun-
itics. There viii probably never be a
silver mine located in Delta county.
There is not known to be any gold mines
at present in operation in the county
except one or two placer diggings, but

The area OF coal lands is not computed
by tho acre, but by the mile, and the
entire side of the Grand Mesa for over
40 miles abounds in coal of the best
quality. But three mines are in opera
tion at present supplying local demand

bring a wonderful output.

An English naturalist, who is re-
marliably nbscnt-minded, recently cell
cbrated his silver wedding. Just MS
the first guest arrived, one of the
daughters was sent to summon the
father, who was all ready and came
into the parlor. The daughter noticed
that her father carried in his hand n
small wooden box, and rs he shook
hands with the nearest guest she saw
him drop it. The cover rolled off, but
she gave n sigh Of relief when she saw
that the box was apparently empty.
The naturalist, however, uttered n cry
of dismay and instantly went down on
his hands and knees in an attempt to
gather up something Have you

echoed, in evident Indignation ut her

The Utah papers are much exercised
over the project to remove the Uncon-
pahgrc Utes from Colorado to San Juan
county, Utah. 1T is claimed that the
section upon which they will be moved,
should the bill pass is ROW largely popu-
lated by whites.
AS we understand it, Il treaty was hold
with the Indians years ago and this land
selected as their future home. Tho gov
ernment should abide by its word. even
with Indiana. Those who pettled on the
land did SO at their own risk, and are en-
titled to no consideration.
II such treaty is in force the Utes
should be removed as soon as possible, if
not permanent reservation should be
eet aside for them, and there let them re-
main in peace.
1t is unjust and unwise to be continu-
ally moving these wards of the govern
ment from pillar to post. Should the
barren land upon which they arc invari-
ably located. happen to become of any
value they are hustled off, and, like the
" aiiecAiuS uON, dIt IiS'cE dt lIlCiF lOuF-
ney' s end.
IL tho government desires to deal hon
estly with the Indians-as it should do,
since they were forcibly disposessed OF
that which belonged to them-they
should be segregated as much as posi-.
BILE, as in the Indian territory. and in a
region whore hum an being could make
living.
1t is not the popular side OF the ques-
tion 10 defend the Indians, but it is tho
side of justice. While they have bocn
the fierccst enemies OF the settlers on
American soil, they were right according
to their code. Their only desire WEE to
repel invaders and hold that which was
their own; and this is human nature in
all races.
As civilized people, whose mission it
is to elevate, tho Indian should be tie
object OF our kindlicst consideration. He
should be taught to work and then placed
upon his own resources.
They havo worked out their own gal
walton in the Indian territory, because
they were settled in a fertile country in
stead OF a desert, and given opportunities
to progress. Such, We believe, would be

STREET SHADING AGAIN.

Now that the sun is drying up
the mountain streams, and the
reservoirs are running low, while
the dust is flying everywhere, the
imagination turns fondly to some
thing which does not exist in
Honolulu,-well shaded streets.
This is something which we earn
estly commend to the attention of
the next Legislature. Let political
bye-gones be bye-gones, let the
ghost of the monarchy be laid,
while we turn our attention to the
making of new and better roads,
and the better shading of those we
have.
There is not, so far as we are
aware, a single adequately shaded
street in the whole of this
forest city of Honolulu. There
used to be one or two. Emma
street, at one time looked inviting
and cool, but that was many years
ago. The telephone companies
''have changed all that"
Perhaps it is useless to attempt
to rouse this community from the
lethargy in which it is sunk on
this important question. Cassan-
dra shouted herself hoarse, but
prophesied to no purpose. She did
not, however, have the brazen
throat of the modern newspaper.
There is high authority for the
belief that things are to be had as
result of much importantly"
when other considerations are
powerless, and one hopes it may
be so now.
The Legislature should author
ize the road board 10 expend
portion of the money at its disposal
in planting suitable shade trees
along the sidewalks. As a rule,
the telephone wires interfere on
one side of the street only, and
there are places where they do not
interfere at all. The Waikiki
road, which now blazes in the sun
from morn till dewy eve, might be
shaded from King street all the
way to the park, as the park itself
is shaded, without any interference
from the wires.

FIGURES OF INTEREST.

An Eastern paper prints some
statistics on railroad traffic in the
United States which throw a good
deal of light upon the great strike.
The last report of the Pullman
Company shows that it generally
has about 5000 cars in operation,
and the railways which are under
contract to use these cars have
over 10000 miles of track. The
company carries about five million
passengers yearly. The American
roads carry, however, about $780,
100000 passengers annually, not

WILL ANYTHING COME OF IT?

1t looks as though some prac-
teal results might flow from Mr..
Emmeluth's proposition for labor
commission. A bill is being drafted
which will probably be presented
at the next meeting of the Coun-
ellis. The bill is being carefully
drawn, and it will give the COM
mission power to summon wit
nesses, administer oaths, and do
other things necessary to secure
fair and thorough investigation.
If the bill is wisely drawn, and
provides for an inquiry which shall
be Just to all the conflicting in
terests, it should be passed without
delay, and it probably will be.
There is not likely to be much OPP
position to the establishment of a
commission, though, doubtless,
many persons will be skeptical as
to the usefulness of such a mea-
sure. The real difficulty is to get
a good commission. If Minister
Thurston were not likely to be en-
gagged at Washington, he would be

freight. These figures show that
less than one per cent. of the pas
senger traffic of the United States
is in Pullman cars, so that the
strikers undertook To stop the
freight and passenger business Of
the railroads from New York to
San Francisco because q few, q
very few, Of their number had a
grievance against a company which
carried no freight at all, and only
an insignificant percentage of the
passengers. Nothing can put IN
clearer light the glaring nature OF
the strikers acts, and the danger
to society if firm stand IS not
made against the tyranny OF Or
ganized labor. The widespread
sympathy with the strikers is
easy enough to understand. 1t
is due to a feeling that working
men do not get fair play, and that
the railroads in particular are
greedy and soulless corporations.
This feeling blinds the judgment
and betrays people into a sympa-
thy with injustice, folly and crime,
as the railroad strike we'll illus
trates. The issue between the rail
roads and the strikers in this case,
was very unhappily chosen by the
latter. They did everything posi-
bic to put the railroads in the right
and themselves in the wrong. They
not onlypractically demanded the
right to control the management
of the transportation business OF
the country, but arrogated to them
selves functions which are assigned
by the Constitution to Congress.
A perception Of this truth proba-
bly, dictated the decided telegram
which Senator Davis lately sent to
a branch of the American Railway
Union of Duluth. The Union had
him to support IA resolu-
ton of Senator Kyle's, which pro
posed that no United States war
rants should issue against persons

of the train was INSTRUCTED con-
tanning the United States mails.

mentioned something about
digging into the earth for
. water. Mr.. John Ena while
! investigating on his own ac-
count on some Of his land
near Kamoiliili found a sub
terranean lake Of excellent
water. So far as explored the
water bed is nearly one
hundred and fifty feet square
and has an average depth Of
eight feet. Mr.. Ena expects
to pursue his exploration still
further and anticipates a rich
find. He is not free from
trouble in the matter for the
reason that should his hidden
lake cover an area of several
thousand feet he is not GER
tain as to the ownership 1t
is generally understood that
when a man buys a piece of
land he owns everything
above and below him and if
Mr.. Ena's lake should encroach
under his neighbours property
there will be some difficulty
in locating ii fence line and
regulating the stock of water.
Should the Government use it
for supplying the city it will
be a hard matter even with a
meter system to say whether
the water used during the day
belonged to John Doe or John
Ena. Then again if it should
be found that the water con-
tanned Bacteria it would be a
question for the Government
to decide whether Doe Or Ena
was responsible. There's no
use talking, nature does 81
great deal toward providing
things for humanity to worry
over, and an underground
lake will take the bloom of
youth even from the cheek of |
a councilman.
But Jokes aside Mr.. Ena's |
discovery is Of untold value to
the people of Honolulu, mas
much as the water supply is
not sufficient to meet the every |
day demand. The charms
which the Islands have held |
for tourists for years are grad
ually dying through want of
nourishing water, and steps
must sooner or later be taken
to remedy the trouble. If the
water in this hole is of the
right quality arrangements
should be made whereby the
holders Of water privileges
could be benefited.

Enamel Bath Tubs are as

bought one of us and put it in

In showing it to a friend the
other day he remarked that he
would not part with it for
double what it cost him. You
see he had got accustomed to
something good and recognize
ed the difference between it
and an ordinary zinc one.
Because those enamel tubs are
largely advertised and are
known to occupy places in the
houses Of well-to-do people
does not mean that they are
so high priced that they are
out of sight of everyone but

in cost and within reach of
