There's a Bell and Vance, a
Henderson and a Whipple,
Wallace and a Leacock, Lind
say, a Carson and Marks, an
Atcheson and hosts whose bank
account may be smaller but
integrity is just as sure We
summered and wintered in that
little town whose name is Eureka
but should be Philadelphia when
it's re-christened one happy day.
The people have two prime aubi-
tions only. The first is the entire
removal of that dreaded sand bar
and the second is the railroad from
Eureka to Ukiah, the journey now
being made by stage over rough
country. One may walk the
length and breadth of fthis beautiful
clean little town on good wooden
sidewalks, see in the distance on
one hand the hills, snow-capped
from December to April, and on
the other beautiful land-locked
Humboldt Bay--see flowers in
every garden, a wood-pile in
every yard, and look in vain for
anything slip-shod or poverty
stricken kents; meat and fish are
as cheap again as in San Fran
cisco and the beef is of the best.
Tie smallest, humblest habi-
tation seems to have "home"
written all over the front. You
detect it in the fresh white cur
tains, the bit of garden, the few
roses and geraniuns, the vegeta-
BILE patch, the chickens, the we'll,
the child in the path with his
little cart loaded up with sun
shine from his own baby face, so
happy about nothing in particu-
lar-just to be let ''out doors"
and let to stray about at his own
sweet will, joyous and free as the
birds.

Popular Topics Of the Day.

Honolulu has as many machin-
lists considering the population as
any place we know of - and
they're good machinists too, men
who can take a steel rod and with
the assistance of a lathe fashion it
into parts for the most intricate
machinery for an engine. To do
this, OF course, requires a know
ledge of tools as well as the hand
ling of them.
In our store room one depart
ment contains the most complete
assortment of machinists, tools in
the city. Look at them and you
will find they are all of first
quality (the price will give you
the impression that they are
thirds) every one of them shining
like an Africans heel. The as
sortment consists of hammers--all
sizes and shapes from the cute
little one used by the jewellers to
the heavy one which the boiler
maker uses in riveting the steel
plates together. Then we have
the Handy Pipe Wrench, new
device without a fault. This tool
will be found a convenient one even
in the house where none of the
occupants are machinists. Hand
vises for machinists can be had
of US in every size manufactured,
so can Pipe Vises and Cold
Chisels. We have every thing
used by metal workers in their
trade. '...
Then we have stock of car
penters wood working tools
second to none in the city-frst
only in quality. You cannot
call for a tool used by carpenter
that we do not have in stock.
Another thing you may be in re.
ested in is an axe that will hold
its edge-a new thing in axes and
something every one needs about
the house.
Bird cages have been mention
! ed in another paper; just here we
will say that the stock we carry
is complete.

Art Work.

The exhibition by the Mem

art an impetus such as has not
been felt for years. The China

and some handsome specimens
were shown in the art rooms.
The material for doing the
work came from us and we
now have in stock an elegant
assortment of Lacroix Tube
Colors and Brushes, Burnishers
Stipplers used in this class of
work. Our ctock is complete
with the finest assortment of
'colors, brushes, canvas and
frames for art work.

THE TREASURY SURPLUS.
Verify" Correots Some Newspaper Mis-
statements.

Verify COrrects Some Newspaper Mis-
statements.
To the Editor of the Register:
Sir: Very frequently one hears that
newspaper statements cannot be relied
upon, and a sample of the kind OF
journalism which produces such in
credulity or lack of faith, has just come
under the observation of the writer in
an editorial published in the evening
paper of Wednesday under the caption,
The National Bond Issues" whereain
President Cleveland and Secretary Car
Isle are said to destroy their own
argument" by asserting that the
various bond issues were not necessary
in order to meet the current expenses
of the government as well as maintain
the gold reserve, and then following
with figures according to the aforesaid
evening paper which show that after
bond issues aggregating S165,000,000,
there is still S100,000,000 surplus in the
treasury. The conclusion is inevitable
Says the evening paper that had the
bond issues not been made, instead of
possessing a surplus of 100000, the
national treasury would not be 65O00,-
600 worse than broken"
To the great number of those who
have not read the Presidents message,
this statement will probably, be accept
ed as true, whereas 1t is m!s-statement
or a juggling of facts. which the writer
Of the aforesaid article may learn by
a careful perusal of the message. The
aforesaid writer has also to learn the
difference between a treasury surplus
and the gold reserve; that they are sep
arate and distinct funds, and are Great
ed for separate and distinct purposes
and from entirely different sources.
What President Cleveland did say in
his message to Congress. was that at the
time of each and every issue Of bonds,
there existed a surplus over and above
the necessary expenses Of the govern
ment. the first time Of over S1S,000,000,
the second time over s42 100000, and at
the last issue Of bonds there was more
than 800. 900. 900. and. says the message,
ct now amounts to S9S072 400 30"
Besides all this the Secretary of the
/ Treasury had no authority whatever TO
issue bonds to increase the ordinary
+ revenues or pay current expenses"
The bond issues were for the express
T ana Simple puIpUSe Oh uULdiuluS SUiu
with which to supply and maintain the
gold reserve. and the treasury surplus,
obtained from the revenues of the gov
eminent. over and above the expenses.
could not produce the gold, unless the
I secretary went into open market and
bought It. which is prohibited by law.
/ and would place gold at premium.
/ T. takes bonds 10 get gold or, rather
the buyers of bonds must pay gold for
them.
Why newspapers will insist that there
/ is a deficit in the treasury, and the
revenues are insufficient to meet ex-
penses. in the face of the statements Of
the Secretary of the Treasury and the
President. that there is a surplus, it is
hard to understand.
According to the newspapers that
make such assertions, either the Presi-
dent and Secretary lie, or do not know
what thev are talking about, but the
presumption is that thew are correct,
and should be given full credit for their
statements. VERIFY.

According TO the Chicago Tribune
The leading Republican paper of the
West, the claim that Senator's Jones and
Stewart. Of Nevada, ale to return to the
Republican fold at this session Of Con-
gress is n0c borne out by the facts.
The Tribune reports Senator Jones as
saying. in view Of an anticipated sill
verite convention IN that city, about
Christmas time:
The best thing for the silver men to do
is 90 get together ar Chicago ana oulll.c

people have been pretty well educa le..i;
and thew know quite wen what free ana
unlimited coinage of silver means 10 l-5g ~
business interests. Tn my opinion d Ul9
tiuctly silver party could win.
senator Jones is naturally more pro
nouaced in his Republican tendencies
tban is Senstor Stewort He believes
in the theory OF government now pre-
vailing in that party. He is a strongly
b.gh-tar.n man. and holds that the un-
deriving principle OF McKinleyism
should be applied for the protection OF
silver.
He believes. also. in the Republican
theory Of q paternal government and in
large expenditures. Buc. according TO
the Tribune. he apparently VIII not ac-
cept any Of this wiJhou, silver is in
cluded. and therefore. calls more stur-
Oily for a new party than ever.
In fact. IN his disagreement with his
party Jones most emphatically empha-
sizes his Repu5licanism the keynote of
tha. fa.tu being. Look out for Number
One. or. as It has been more delicaJely
put. Enlightened SeIf-InteresL Jones
IS looking ont for his silver mines, and
i'm the meantime his party and his coun-
try. too. fo- .1aJ matter can go to the
dogs. if they won't help him out in his
own little scheme Of special private pro
lection.

Speaker Reed Expected to Make His Com

of the House who have had interviews
with Speaker Reed during the past two
or three days on the subject of COM
mittee appointments believe the COM
mittee list will be announced before or
not later than the 18th of the month.
Formerly Speakers have not been
able to make their selection before the
Christmas holidays as a general rule,
but Mr. Reed has had the advantage of
q year. practically. in which TO make up
his mind. He has said to several that
he is anxious TO have Congress finish
its business and adjourn as soon as
possible. and all the time he can save
on committee selections will tend to
that result.
That he has not yet finished his list
is apparent because to-day he told two
or three Congressman who talked with
him about their committee assignments
that he wanted another interview with
them.

difficulties Mr.. Reed is contending with

THE IMPERTURABLE HOTEL
KEEPER

I once witnessed in a hotel a perfect
commotion started by an Englishman
who had dared to express his dissatis-
faction at the way he was treated. He
was in the hall. This is the worst
managed hotel l have ever been in" he
exclaimed to the clerk. Where is the
proprietor? l should like to speak to
him." The proprietor was in the hall,
thoroughly enjoying the scene. He was
pointed out to the guest by the clerk.
The Englishman, excited and angry,
went up to the proprietor.

house?" h easked
We'll" said the proprietor, with his
cigar in his mouth and his hands in his
pockets, Il thought l was-till you

is the appointments from his own State.
Messrs. Dingley, Boutelle and Milliken
would each be entitled to a chairman
ship under ordinary conditions, because
they are among the oldest members in
point of service. The naval affairs
would fall to Mr.. Boutelle and public
buildings to Mr.. Milliken, but to have
the Speakership and three chairman
ships given to State with four mem
bers might provoke feeling in the less
favored delegations. How to make an
equitable adjustment of this matter and
incur no resentment is about the most
knotty problem with which the Speaker
has to deal, apart from a decision OF
the relative claims of Messrs. Dingley,
Cannon and Henderson to the chair
manship of appropriations, and Payne
and Dalzell to ways and means.
