WHAT is the use of the Honolulu
dog? Some people will say he is
no use at all and many more will
using terms which would make a
pirate blush, aver that his only
use is to wake you up and then to
keep you awake. How melodious-
ly one of these spindle-legged,
bony, rib-shewing brutes will COM
mence to ebay the moon" and how
instantly, will his gaunter friends
take up the tale and pass it along
till it dies in faint echoes towards
Maunaloa, or Waikiki and thence
return it again with interest till
you vow that you will proceed to
the police station next morning and
instantly apply for the position OF
dog slayer in ordinary. There are
those who think differently, as Mr..
Shaw will tell you at the tax office.
Nine hundred and sixty animals
have already been paid for-and
cannot be touched. Fancy nine
hundred and sixty destined liscens-
ed banks in Honolulu, from the
shrill yelp of madame's lap dog to
the deep bass of the big yaller dog.
What a pleasant prospect for the
coming year. But let them be
kept at $50 and let the dog catcher
do his duty by the other 1000 or so
who have not paid their taxes.
The Minister of Finance may
growl if the dollars don't come in
but the weary will have some
chance of rest and the $50 may,
we trust they may, catch the pre-
vailing epidemic of cold. Oh that
it would be fatal

ORGANIZATION is one of the STUN
bling blocks in Honolulu. 1t is
hard to get people to work together.
We would recommend organization
among housewives of the city for
protection against incompetent
house servants. If central bureau
were established at which servants
should be registered and some rec
ord kept of their migrations from
family to family, their experience
and their capabilities, it would be a
great boon. Such a plan ought
not to be expensive and it would
give a surety that when house
servant was engaged he knew
something about his duties. The
wages of domestic servants are
high, when compared with those OF
similar servants abroad. A far
better class should be obtained
than is done. There are dozens,
we might say hundreds of so-called
cooks who pass from house to
house, never staying anywhere
more than a week or so, who are
utterly incompetent, but who pick
up a sort of predatory living by
disappearing themselves. This
could be put stop to by organ
izing on the lines indicated. Will
some of our lady readers take up
the subject ? ra

A CORRESPONDENT enlarges upon
an article published by US Saturday.
The remarks are eminently to the
point. We are pleased to see that the
subject of the development of this
island is beginning to attract the
attention that it should. In de-
veloping this island we do no harm
to the rest OF the group. The more
people we have, the more products
we can put on the markets the better
for all the islands. he progress
already made shows what can be
done in the future by thoroughly
vigorous effort. Our correspondent
hits the right nail on the head
when he foreshadows that the city
of Honolulu can either hold its
position and go ahead or drop
astern in the race. The citizens of
Honolulu are directly interested in
the development OF Oahu. There
need be no fear of our competition
doing harm to the rest of the group.
The Kula corn and potatoes will
be even more needed than now.
Ranches which are now only strug-
Cling along will become ten times
more valuable. The more people
there are the more will require to
be fed. Prosperity for one means
prosperity for all.

WHAT can the civilized world dc
in the matter of the misgovernment
of Turkey in Asia ? 1t is all very
well to pass resolutions at irrespon-
sible meetings, but it is a very diff
ferent thing when it comes to Civ
ing actual form to them and start
ing out on policy of armed inter
vention. Any country undertaking
such a policy is bound to get its
fingers burned. But if large coun-
tries cannot intervene between the
unspeakable Turk and his actions,
at least they can send money, pro-
visions and clothing to the starving
population of Armenia. The stories
of the atrocities, no dou 1t are of a
kind that will bear takIa with a
considerable pinch of 81, but
enough remains that convict the
Turkish system of being weak,
brutal and venal. The cry from
America and Europe is almost
unanimous. Turn him out F"
while the Turk leans back and
calmly says, Who's to do it ?"

THE stability OF the country is
very well shown by the success OF
the sales during Christmas week.
We are credibly informed that the
sales have been twenty per cent
higher in the case of several retail
ers, and othere report correspond
ingly good accounts. We have
taken pains to find out the abso-
lutte truth of this and we are salts
fed that it is fact. This does
not look very much as if the bot
tom had dropped out of the coun-
try under the Republican Govern
ment.

THE case OF the Henrietta will
prove a very interesting one. Oul
revenue laws are somewhat obso-
lete, and the necessity for the
thorough revision of them will
most probably be made apparent.
1t is a question, among many
Others, that should occupy the at
tention of the coming Legislature.
In point of fact our laws should be
,codifed. Codifcation is a very
different thing from compilation.
Even our volume of compiled laws
is very much out of date. The
difference between codifcation and
compilation is clear. The former
is the collection, condensation,
systematizing and reconciling of
what is scattered and contra
-dictory." While the latter is
merely "heaping together" or,
practically, putting between a cou-
pie of covers what is scattered
through many volumes.

THE WAGES OF WOMAN.

The Massachusetts, Labor Bureau
has been getting up statistics on
the wage earning capacity of edu-
Gated women. The enquiry was
made among both employers and
employed, replies being received
from 104 of the former and 451 OF
the latter. The employees included
100 teachers, AZ librarians and as
sistants, % stenographers, % nurses
and superintendent of nursing, 10
newspaper editors and reporters, 10
clerks, ID Geographic operators and
Is type-setters, the rest being dis
tributed among fifty different occu-
pations. OF the 451, 6 reported
wages less than $25 per month IS
received $25 and less than $50 !;
IA received $50 and less than $75 !;
SS between SIS and 500; 10 from
500 to 5000; 2 received 5000 and
less than $500 and 2 over $500.
The next question investigated
was whether men were employed
in the same kind of work, and PSI
replied in the affirmative. This
was naturally followed by the ques-
ton whether men receive more pay
than the women for the same work.
In $50 cases the pay was less than
that of men similarly employed /;
in 95 cases both men and women
received the same pay, and in 5
cases the pay was higher than the
pay of men doing similar work.
These figures are very interest
ing. They show the gradual adj
vance that woman is making as a
wage Garner. In some employ
ments the services of men are more
valuable than those of women, but
here are undoubtedly many in
which the skill and brain power of
5he woman are on an equality with,
md in some cases superior to, the
skill and brain power of the man.
Thirty years ago the idea ola woman
wages equal to those OF
men would have been secuted. But,
given equally good work, why
should not woman have equally
rood pay? What woman requires
o do is to thoroughly fit herself for
whatever she takes up. Thus we
lave here many female workers,
,ut they have not all properly fit
ed themselves for their work, and
he consequence is they get lower
'ay than they would otheSwise.
IN inquiry into woman's wages
ere would be very interesting, and
re would recommend the idea to
hose ladies who are striving to
make woman self-dependent.

THE alleged conspirators have
been committed for trial, the evil
dence already given being deemed
sufficient by Judge Perry to war
rant that course. We rather i'm
agine that when even this portion
of the trial reaches the Coast it will
put damper upon the aspirations
of adventures OF similar stripe to
Underwood and Sheridan. There
is any quantity of penniless men
floating around the coasts OF the
Pacific to whom the chance of an
overturn is the chance OF their
lives. They have nothing to lose
and everything to gain. Any pun
ishment melted out to them, when
they fall within the clutches of the
law, is as nothing. They have no
character to lose, and in nine cases
out Of ten are masquerading under
false names, which they are as ready
to change as a snake is its skin when
the proper time comes. What does
it matter to such people whether
they get into prison or not? How
ever, prison is very good place for
them: it keeps them out of mischief
for a time.

IT is said that Congress will be
asked to appropriate $350,000 for
the expense of a Commission OF
Engineers to make a further ex-
haustive report on the Nicaragua
Canal. The New York Herald
says that until this commission,
which will require at least eighteen
months to do its work, has report
ed it is impossible that the adyisa-
bility of conducting the canal can
be safely determined or intelli-
gently considered" On the other
hand the New Orleans Picayune
says that everybody has become
thoroughly convinced that an jim
teroceanic canal under American
auspices must be built. Even an
increased expenditure will not pre-
vent the energetic pushing OF bills
before Congress in favor of the
early resumption of work on the
canal. 1t begins to look as il
with the interest shown in
both the Panama and Nicaragua
Canals that our chance Of being a
prominent station on one of the
main lines of the world, is by no
means far distant. What change

THE festive fire cracker got in
his work with great effect on Christ
mas day. Every one has right to
enjoy himself in his own way, but
we think that it would be well if
some regulations were made by
which fire crackers should not be
allowed during the hours of church
service. A very beautiful solo was
marred at one of the churches by
the continued popping OF fire crack
ers. Most probably the annoyance
in question was caused through
thoughtlessnes, but it was an an
noyance, nevertheless.

Honolulu is truly very charita-
bic place. Within the last few
days very large sums Of money
have been donated, by those who
have wealth, and even those whose
means are small, for Frightening
the lives OF those who are less for
tunate. May such a spirit always
pervade our community. We have
many national faults, but we have
a good reputation for kindliness OF
heart which we must never lose.

ately to represent as bankrupt.

Timely Topics


those who use goods that is
l in our line.
As Shakespeare says: Sc
: haliow'd and So gracious is
the time" that We are tempted
, TO mention a few of the items
that we consider are in season,
viz: all kinds of team collars,
best chain harness, best har-
ness and saddle leather, all
kinds of breeching rings and
harness fittings. These goods
are seasonable if ever they
are. Something is always
bound to get out of order no
matter how careful you may
be, and you had much better be
prepared for an emergency
than to be placed in a pre-
dlcament, when you cannot
afford to lose any time. This
is not case of whip whip !!
hoorah ! but Of a whip that
will give you value received
for money invested and is
conseeded to be the best re-
preventative of the kind in
Honolulu, and comprises buck
skin lashes, whip lashes and
whip stock, for four, six and
eight horse team. In fact we
are up-to-date in what is
wanted by the plantation men
for every day use.
Going further in this line
we have all kinds of plows
needed by planters, from the
Hendry Breakers (the best
pillow made) to the smallest
of rice plows; from the large
double furrow to the Io-inch
plows SO popular with
planters.
Some people like to make
their own butter and we can
them with the churns
to do the work whether they
want sufficient for a small
family or for the "Richelieu."
Those who make cocktails
should try one of our Gem
Shavers" as all the experts
agree that the best kind can
be made by using one of these
shavers. You pour your
liquor into what looks like
snow, and the result will
make even the father OF a
arge family feel as if he own!
ed the world and did not care ,
whether school kept or not.
We have sold most of our I
Aluminium Ware, but have a
'ew of these handsome white {
brush and comb sets which
are the best and cheapest
things of their kind ever s
Introduced.

Of putting our own wares. but |

We wish to call your especial
attention to, and know that

req uire the authorization of from $780,
100000 to $1,000 100000 of new bonds as
basis of circulation. You will, at once,
retire one-third of your circulation and
call on one-half of your loans. Be care
full to make money stringency felt
among your patrons, especially among
influential business men. Advocate an
extra session of congress for the repeal
of the purchase clause of the Sherman
law and act with the other banks of your
city in securing large petition to con
gress for its unconditional repeal per ac-
companying form. The future
life of national banks as fixed and safe
investments depends upon immediate
action, as there is an increasing sent-
ment in favor of government legal tender
notes and silver coinage.

AN ENCOURAGING SIGN.

Five gentlemen, representing colonies
of discontinued farmers in Illinois and
Wisconsin, recently paid visit to Eddy,
Roswell and other parts of the Pecos val
ley for the purpose of personally inspect
ing that fair and fruitful region with view
to securing locations for themselves as
we'll as re porting the results of their obser-
vations for the benefit of others. The gen.
tlemen were 80 charmed with what they
saw that they purchased 1900 acres Of
land near Florence, and, as soon as they
harvest their crops and dispose of their
homes in the northwest, will return to
the Pecos country to stay. They also said
that many other families in Illinois and
Wisconsin were only waiting for their
favorable report to move with them to
New Mexico. The fact that 80 many such
desirable people, after careful investiga-
ton of our climate and resources, are
eagerly seeking permanent homes in this
territory is most encouraging. 1t Is not
only the strongest possible testimony to
the attracti veness of New Mexico, but
the introduction of the modern methods
familiar to these people is certain to con-
tribute very much toward the rapid and
satisfactory development of this resource
full region.

The Broken Bank 9.

Grant county people are still wonder
ing if the end of those Deming and Silver
City bank receiverships will ever come.
Let's see; about eight years, isn't it, that
this matter has been dragged along?-
NEW MEXICAN.
Not quite so bad as that. The banks
failed February 3, 1892, nearly three and
half years ago, and no to the present
time the depositors have received just 40
per cent of their deposits at the time of
the failure. The last dividend was paid
considerably more than a year and half
ago and it is not believed that the pros
poets for further dividends are very brill
liant. The comptroller of the currency
assessed the stockholders in the bank
here so per cent of the amount of stock,
but it has turned out that An assessment
of 100 per cent would not more than have
paid the depositors in full by this time.
Quite number of worthless judgments
have been obtained, but it is questionable
whether they could be sold for enough to
pay the court costs in obtaining them, to
say nothing of the attorneys fees.
The murmurs of the depositors have
reached Washington, but 80 far they have
been productive of no good results. The
former president of the two banks is
working for his board in the territorial
hotel at Santa Fe and this fact is COM
forting to some of the losers in the
banks, but they still have to mourn the
loss of their money. Silver City Eagle.

The Advertisers Explanation.

The NEW MEXICAN is mistaken when it
states that the Advertiser is only airing a
personal grievance, although there is no
objection to anyone believing that way,
anyway you put it, The Advertiser gath
cred an exhibit of over fifty boxes of
mineral, containing many valuable speci
mems, borrowed for the occasion under
the superstition that the man placed in
charge at Chicago was to be under bond
for the return of all valuables. The editor
of the Advertiser went to Chicago (pay-
ing his own fare) and while there received
a voucher for $239.75, it not being stated
what the money was for. As the exhibit
taken there by him was fully one-half of
what was there, that may have been the
one-half value of the whole, but no one
supposed so at the time. If so, what was
done with the money over and above the
$500? However, that is not the trouble.
A number of those borrowed specimens
we're never returned, and tho Advertiser
will be forced to pay for them. Now it
may be perfectly proper according to
the New MEx1oAN) to rob a man, but it
sn't honest, and the man in charge may
be responsible, but if man was sent
there to control him, that man is respon-
sible. What the Advertiser OBJ ects to is
that Mills was paid $8,577.9l, and some
one else more than $4,000, without the
people being allowed to look at the ac-
counts.-Socorro Advertiser.

A SCRAP or HISTORY.

A little more than year ago it was
decided by the associated banks to force
a special session of congress to stop the
purchase of silver by our government.
To that end it was determined to make
money scarce and precipitate hard times,
the results to be charged to the silver
purchasing law, the object being to man
ufacture public sentiment. This was the
origin of the business wreckage of 1893.
The panic, deliberately planned by the
banks, got beyond their control and they
had to share freely in the ruin impelled
bv themselves. When that conspiracy
was shat ped in New York the following
was sent to every national bank in circu-
lar form, II lie we'll worth reperusal and
preservation:
Dear Sir: The interests of national
banks REQ uirs immediate financial legis'
lstion by congress-. Silver, silver certifi.
Gates and treasury notes must be retired
and national bank notes upon gold
