the successor OF the Northern Pacific,

did not result in any great shock locally,
rs it soon became known that the action
was taken mainly to protect the property
and prevent litigation.
The California Trust company, which
made application for the placing OF the
Investment company in charge Of the fed
eral court, was the same corporation
which undertook to float the bonds in
England over a year ago. 1t had adj
vanced about sos 900 on the bonds, and
had agreed to wait until January ! A., in the
hope that Mr.. Schulze would succeed in
placing the bonds in the eastern markets.
Mr.. Schulze had made the necessary ar
engagements; but on such terms that Re-
ceiver Paine, OF the Northern Pacific,
(Which company is also a creditor) would
not approve. Mr.. Paine, however, after
inspecting the canal property and inves-
tigating the affairs of the Investment
company, agreed-on behalf of the North
ern Pacifc-to guarantee the bonds, thus
making them marketable at their face
value. The details Of such an arrange.
ment, however, take time, and could not
be perfected by the first of the year and
as result the California Trust company
made Its appliction for the appointment
of receivers.

the placing of the bonds and the settle

The celestial deities OF China, who
reigned on this earth many centuries be-
fore the dawn of Christianity, will be
honored on the 25th of this month by
every faithful Chinaman the world over.
1t will be the twenty-first year since the
birth OF Kwong Sin, the reigning emperor
of China, and the 46Slst since the birth
of Quong Gong, who is known and rev.
erenced as the father OF his country. He
is renowned as the martyr of honesty, the
liberal giver and the happy hearted NOR
tai. In "Lu Twoi," the book of the
prophets, it is recorded that he was so
dearly beloved that the very ground he
trod on was ever afterward sacred.
The day observed as New Years by
the Chinese is likewise observed by the
Japanese; but, owing to the slight differ
ence existing between the two countries
just at present, the lack OF respect felt for
kwong Sin, and the prevailing hard times
it is given out that the celebration this
year will not be on the usual scale of mag
nificence; which probably signifies that
there will be fewer fire-crackers, less punk
burned, diminished quantity of rice
wine imbibed, and that the number OF
ducks, pounds of pork and birds nest
delicaces for the customary three days
feasting, will be greatly curtailed. A

The board of county commissioners
has been in session all OF the past week
and will continue until Monday noon,
when it will adjourn sine die. Blu. little
work has been done, other than that nee.
esssry in auditing the usual stock Of bills,
in looking over and filing the annual re-
ports for the twenty-seven road districts of
the county, and in approving the bonds
of the newly elected ofiicers-which lat
ter duty is yet to be consummated, and
the reason for which is given ia one
name; County Prosecutor, Jared A..
Rockford.
That official has discovered that the
law requires two sureties for the full
amount of each bond. and contends that,
for example, two men cannot qualify for
$4,000 each on a 10000 bond (even
though having real estate or cash in
double that amount, as required by law
and thus constitute a legal bond. Mr..
Rockford claims that two others must
qualify, both OF whom are liable for the
full amount. The inference is plain.
Every officer filed bond equal to that
required by Mr.. Rockford two years ago
and even later, in the instance OF Ap.
pointee Stair, treasurer to fill vacancy
and expected no trouble in taking office
Mr.. Rochford's arithmetic will not, how
ever, allow him to see it that way now ;
so each new official has had his bond re-
turned and great hustle" has been GO
ing on among the republicans and demo.
Gratis to see that the required amounts
were obtainable.
In all instances, save one, this was
comparatively easy. The auditor, clerk,
sheriff and attorney had but to raise &c.
600 instead of 5000; Commissioners
Stephenson and Rich. $3.50 In place of
$500; Assessor Carpenter, $4,000, in
stead of $1,000; and the county superin-
dent and coroner, $1,000 instead of $1,000
Coroner Heg has fled his bond and it
has been approved Commissioners
Stephenson and Rich will file before the
court commissioner. All OF the rest,
however, are still holding off; but the
bonds will be in by Monday noon, at the
latest.
Upon Treasurer-elect Bartholet the blow
falls the heaviest. The largest bond ever
before required from a treasurer was $751;
000 although G. o. Nevin gave one in
the sum of $50, 900 and d. w. Stair fur
nished 81, 900. This year Mr.. Rockford
demands of Mr.. Bartholet $4,000, or
double that ordinarily thought to fill all
demands of the law. As THE HERALD
goes to press. Mr.. Bartholet has not COM
plsted his bond. Those who have agreed
to 90 upon it, and the several amounts
for which they qualify are as follows:

True Christianity.

EDITOR YAKIMA HERALD-I have lately
come to the knowledge OF fact which
wish to communicate to you in order to
have it published in your estimable paper
for the edification of the community.
Truly Christian people perform their good
works unostentatiously, because they do
not seek their reward from man. Christ
forbade the beneficiaries OF his divine
bounty to publish his favors. yet they
proclaimed them all the louder. They
obeyed the promptings of their hearts.
Neither do wish to offend the humility
OF a man so worthy OF praise as the pas
tor of St. Mlchael's Episcopal church, in
publishing one of his good deeds. Many
good sermons Rev. Mr.. Brown has
preached in his life, and l hope God will
grant him health and grace to preach
many more; but OF all his discourses none
will be so fruitful and practical, none so
far-reaching in their effect as the one he
addressed the children OF his Sunday
school, when he inculcated in their young
hearts love of their neighbor, especially
OF the needy. The generous Christmas
offering OF the children of St. Michael's
parish to st. Elizabeth's hospital, done at
the suggestion of their pastor and OF that
noble and charitable lady, Miss Scudder,
is truly admirable. 1t made me exclaim :
"God bless them may they never know
want!" There is the man who knows
Christian doctrine, and who will shine as
star in the armament for having taught
others unto justice. UNIVERSAL.

appointed to wait upon the Water COM
pany and request that the company bear
the entire expense OF the phone at the

the purpose of securing full force Of water

Hill, Badger and Cox were appointed
on the board OF health, to act with Health
Officer Frank.
An order was made TO draw the war
rants for the city officers on the general
fund. The MAYOR minated that it might
be proper thing to make up the war
rant discount to the city officers, but the
subject was incontinently dropped when
Councilman Hill stated there were plenty
of competent men who would be glad to
fill the offices at present pay.
The mayor read some of the thoughts
and ideas he had jotted down, the most
important being the suggestion for the re-
placing of the present species of trees
along the streets with those of more
durable, attractive and clearly character.
He spoke of the responsibility resting on
the council, and the extravaganza and
recklessness of such boards as rule; and
then he administered tsffy in large doses
by telling the members what implicit
confidence he placed in every one of them.
With this sweetened morsel in their
mouths, they adjourned

Mere denunciations against extrava-
gance do no good. From the time of Isa-
iah there has been an uninterrupted cat
ena of denunciations. But the great fact
remains tlr,t wherever wealth is in excess
of culture, there also will be silly and
selfish extravaganza in dress and living.
Only when the mental and moral quali-
ties of the rich are in excess of their
money do they spend wisely. Then they
build colleges and homes, and libraries /:
then they do something to make the
dreams of the well wishers of humanity
come true. In this glorious capability lies
all the poetry of wealth, all its great and
gracious power, all its uncalculated bless
ings. As an evidence of this fact, take
the one great idea that has permeated the
religious world-Jew and Christian-for
1000 years, the restoration of the Jews to
Palestine. When this fact is accom-
plished we are led to hope for a brighter
day for all, and the accomplishment is
quite within the power of a COM
pany of rich men. A clever writer
on this subject long ago pointed
out that any ordinary emigra-
ton agent would take contract

Joppa that proper companies could cover
the bare hills of Judea with terraces of
olives and vines, as is done now ut the
Riviera; that n proper architect could re-

in great measure, the dream of ages
lies in the chcque books of the rich. In
the same way Sir Thomas Moore's Utopia
could now be realized, and if too rich for
ordinary living and modest expenditure.

1T Is GROWING.
Pennsylvania's Big strike Grows ssrI-


Gus.
PITTsBURG, March The strike of the
miners of the Pittsburg district is on in
full force, and it is expected that to-day
will see a general suspension of work ex-
cept by less than 1000 men. 1t is esti-
mated that before night 1900 miners will
nave quit work.
Reports received at the miners head
quarters up to noon show general sus-
pension of work throughout the district.
From the report of the com ssioner of
labor, 1t is estimated that the number on
strike is over $1,000, and the number en-
ployed at the mines where there is to be
no strike is about 1900.
The Hackett Coal company at Findley-
vile posted a notice that their mines will
resume tomorrow at 60 cents demanded
by the men. The men at Catsburg, on the
Monongohela river, have returned to
work, the company having conceded the
scale. Reports from all parts of the dis
trict tonight confirm the earlier reports
that the strike is complete with the excep-
tons mentioned.
