The Maori King Surprised when His
Hand Was Refused.


Not long ago brief telegram from
New Zealand announced that Tawhaio
H., the great Maori King, had died of
influenza. He was a genius in his way
and was fitting ruler for the fierce
race of aborignies who gave England
more trouble than the natives of any
other savage country she has conquered.
When finally subjugated Tawhaio be.

and expressed desire TO see the world.
This wish was encouraged by the
British authorities, who put a vessel at
his disposal, and with half a dozen sub
ordinate chiefs he sailed for England.
The King and his followers made the
journey in safety, and of course saw
the Queen. King Tawhaio was struck
with the appearance of the great Queen
and made proposition of marriage to
her. Her exact answer is not known,
but of course Victoria refused the hand

and the alluring bait he held out in the
shape of long and all conquering
kingly lineage. King Tawhaio was not
hurt at the refusal of the Queen, but he
thought she was foolish not to accept,
and on his return to his native land
often spoke of the matter, and in these
references considered Victoria the loser
by her declination.

The fayoritei in waterproof garments is
the long sleeveless cloak that will go
over the large dress sleeves without
spelling it. Over this is long cape,
plain and not very full. This combina-
ton is most excellent, leaving the arms
free, and completely covering the entire
costume. On some rain clOaks of this
description two full collarettes are seen
Others are PLAIN. Another style is the
triple top instead of the plain, single
cape. Some of these show the capes
quite long, quite the length of the arm,
while others, made like the Newmarket
shape for the long garment, reach only
to the waist. The storm mantles, hang
ing in folds from the neck and covering
the figure completely, are not so well
suited to the purpose, but are preferred
by many. The ornamentation consists
of a collarettc, usually of the umbrella
style, which seems appropriate in IL
storm cloak. Still another style shows
Il loose front, with fitted back and
pelisse sleeves. The double breasted
Newmarket storm cloak is made with
generous sleeves, and is quite smart
looking garment. The mackintoshes of
cloth, rubber lined, show the usual
checks, stripes in plain grays, browns,
blues and blacks. The cravcnette cloaks
are rather more comfortable than these
last mentioned, not overheating, as the
rubber does, when worn for any length
of time. The same shapes prevail in
this material as also in the rubber
cloaks, cloth stamped. Cravenette may
be had for Sl.70 per yard, and as gar
ment may be made from four and half
yards and upward, it results IN quite Il
saving if made at home, and one may
have little more originality in this
garment. Storm proof serges and
cheviots are less expensive and are the
most scrviceable storm cloaks, answer
ing for travelling as well, and also for
cold lnNs

BLACKBOARD JOURNALISM.

Several country Republican papers
which appear to have been very much
agitated over articles in The Herald,
to which they could offer no rational
argument, have trained their popguns
on the editor, attacking him person
ally and using epithets to which he
offered no response. These have been
followed by pretended quotations from
The Herald, garbled to suit the purpose
of the disputant and accompanied by
comments which would have no appli-
cation but for the Interpretations. To
these little bubbles we have paid no
attention, as they were evidently in

THE TENANT QUESTION.

In reference to protection for land
lords, subject presented in these col
umns a few days ago, we have the
subjoined communication from a land
lady of this city. We suggest to our
live legislators that it would be moth
ing but right to do something practic-
al to shield and preserve the rights of
landlords as against dishonest ten
ants. The present laws are an en-
couragement to the class described in
the letter, and any member who will
devise some effectual plan of relief
to the landlord which will do no in
justice to the tenant, will earn the graf
itude of many worthy people and at
the same time be performing a good
public service:

To the Editor of The Herald:

l would ernphatically urge as one,
that the present representatives of the
people in the Legislature take meas
ures to enact law that will afford
protection to landlords.
Some of the skipping unbusiness like
Republican representatives should be
a forcible example to all sincere Demo-
Gratis to use their franchise at next
election for more business like ma
terial to represent them in the enact
meut of laws. Legislators have no
right, as servants of the people, to
bring partisanship into question. They
should get right down to business. 1t
is too important a position for child's
play.

that it may be seen the support of the
secretary does not proceed from parti-
san motives:
Since Mr.. Carlisle has found his duty
and has resolved to do it. the business
men must rally to his support.-Phila-
delphia North American Rep).
Since the government needs to bor-
row money to pay it's debts, let it Dor
row it openly and above board, by the
issue of bonds.-St Paul Pioneer Press
Rep).
Secretary Carlisle can issue and sell
bonds to build UP the gold reserve to
the amount required and draw up
on this fund for meeting the obliga-
lions OF the government. as he has been
doing, and this process might be con-
tlnued finitely.--Omaha Bee Rep.)
The best and indeed the only course
practicable under the existing condi-
tons is to meet the known emergency
by exercising the authority conferred
by the resumption act to borrow what
money is instantly needed.-Philadel-
phia Telegraph (Rep).

national credit destroyed, the course

On the whole, Secretary Carlisle's ac-
tlon will be received by intelligent and
talr minded men with appreciation
rather than disfavor At a time like
the present, when the resources of the
treasury are at the lowest ebb in over
ntteen years, the first consideration of
sagacity and prudence is to strengthen
the treasury's position; all other con-
slderaflons are clearly subsidiary
Albany Journal rep.
Under the circumstances we do not
see that Mr.. Carlisle could do ANYTHING
else than issue 5 per cent bonds. at a
premium which will reduce the inter-
est to 3 per cent. The treasury must
nave the money, the Democratic Con-
gress will not supply it, and there is
no nope of increased revenues for
months to come 1t is Congress that
must pear the responsibility in this
case.-Springfield Union (Rep).
Word comes from Washington that
Secretary Carlisle is on the point of
advertising for bids on bond issue 1t

The hostility displayed by members
of Congress to Secretary Carlisle's re-
quest for authority to issue short-time
bonds for rehabilitating the treasury
reserve, is one of the most signal exhi-
blt1ons of legislative prejudice and ig-
norance that have recently been made
