Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1896-06-02

1t is not Il little strange that when
Judge Wallace Of the Superior Court
of San Francisco was placed upon the
witness stand to testify as to the
value Of his personal property listed
for taxation, he was quite ignorant OF
its worth, and really did not know
just what he owned Of movable chat
tells, and what such as he remembered
having are worth. Yet Judge Wal
lace is reputed to be a very rich man,
and to maintain a very stylish estab-
lishment. Still, according to him, his
personal property is mainly a lot of
old rubbish, upon which for taxation
purposes a low valuation has been
placed. Strange, how different it is to
the fellow whose OK is gored.
The astonishing fact has been re-
vealed that about One-third of the
pupils of the Chicago schools have
never seen a live sheep or hog, al
though they are familiar with lions,
tigers and elephants The Park
Commissioners will be requested tc
place specimens of sheep and hogs in
the geological departments of the
parks, so that the school children may
be able TO see them.
1t has been some months since Tren.
NOR Coffin bribed a witness to leave
the county, but there is no effort being
made either to punish him for mis-
crime or disbar him. The APPEAL
however knows exactly how and where
the cinch was applied to squelch ac
ton, and in due season will give the
public the facts in the case.

THE CENSUs.

If the Independent would pay
heed to the old proverb about
judging unfinished work, its in
tiuence upon affairs might take
on some appreciate weight. Its
structures on the mode of taking
the census are absurd in view of
all the explanations that have
been published. The BULLETIN
is not prepared to either maintain
or deny that Superintendent
Atkinson's means for sorting out
the complex mass of nationalities
here domiciled is the very best
that could have been devised. Yet
it is convinced that the plan is a
great Improvement on previous
censuses. Census taking is not
an exactscience anywhere, and it is
beset with peculiar difficulties in
this country. There are captions
in the schedules for the present
census which this paper criticized
obJectingly at the outset, but most
of the objections were satisfacto-
rily answered by the Superinten-
dent. Some of the objections
from other quarters we're entirely
without reason in view of the
practice of other countries. For
instance, that relating to property
statistics. The religion columns,
on the other hand, the BULLETIN
considers would be better left out
altogether than have them exclu-
sively for Protestant and "Ca-
tholic," which will make the re-
suits absolutely worthless for in
formation. In respect to nation
alities, however, the principal
theme of the Independents carp
ing, there is good reason on inves-
tigation to believe that Mr.. At
kinson will produce the most
complete analysis of the popula-
ton ever made. At all events, let
us await the completion Of the
tables before pronouncing judg-,
meut

steward James.

An item from a San Francisco
paper relating to Thomas X.
James, the genial and highly
popular steward of the Australia,
published in this paper the day of
that steamers arrival, proves to
be correct. 1t would be ungracious
to say that Mr.. James leaving of
the direct Oceanic service between
here and San Francisco is regret.
ted, because it is to be presumed
that he makes the change to shore
life for the enhanced comfort of
himself and his family. Yet it
must be said that Steward James
will be sorely missed by the peo-
pie of Honolulu, not only those
who have travelled with him, but
those whose acquaintance with
him is confined to the
coral strand, amidst the bowers
of light and music and flowers.
No steamship corporation en-
ploys more popular officers than
the Oceanic, and none of these
are better liked than the retiring
steward of the Australia. All
who have travelled in that steamer
will agree that his place will be
hard to fill. His unvarying
courtesy and geniality have been
only equaled by his efficiency in
his duties. Travellers have been
heard to say that no other steamer
in these vast waters affords bet
ter living for the passengers than
the Australia. Sorry to lose him
from sight, the BULLETIN wishes
Mr.. James and his amiable wife,
who has occasionally visited Ho-
nolulu, abundant happiness and
long life to enjoy it in their new
home on terra tirma.

WV. DIMOND,S

Some time ago there was
an item going the rounds of
the press in the United States
to the effect that a young lady,
who was i'll, wanted to secure
one million postage stamps,
to give a physician who had
promised to cure her on re-
celpt of them. The girl who
did that was a man, and he
was deluged with stamps;
then he came to Hawaii and
he is here yet. While he was
collecting postage stamps, little
Dolly Washburn was on an
other lay. She wanted to save
her poor dear mother all the
time she could around baking
days, so she invented an egg
separator, which takes the
yolk from the whites with
the greatest ease. The sepa-
rator sells for so cents and
Dolly has already made enough
out of it to employ a good
cook and live in New York.
Ia this country most ser-
wants light fires with the as
sistance of kerosene. Those
who live through it get along
all right, but they waste lots
of oil. We have a contriv-
ance whereby oil may be
saved and all danger of ox-
pIosion may be averted. The
price is little.
Mr.. Paxton must have been
a man who hung around the
kitchen a good deal, for he
has given to the world a
combination dipper, strainer
and funnel, that is about as
cute as anything ever seen
in the kitchen. You can
STRAIN soups, milk and other
things or you can have a dip
per or a funnel combined,
for a quarter.

land settlement for small farming
and diversified industries. 1t
supported and defended Rep
resentative Dole's original
homestead law many years
ago, when that law was
hampered by executive evasion and
inaction,as well as being the sub
ject of carping criticism by the
official press. At a later period it
was highly gratifed at the privi-
lege of being the first journal to
describe and admire Queen Liliu-
okalani's very liberal and intelli-
gent demonstrating scheme upon
her lands on the island of Hawaii.
Therefore, this paper is entitled
to feel peculiar qualification over
the advancing fruition OF all the
agitation and legislation upon the
subject.

There is something wrong in
modern arrangements, when a
great advance in the price Of
wheat does not benefit the farmers
who raised the article. 1t is very
convenient to those whose hard
toll produces the staple to have it
bought even before it is harvested,
but it looks like outrageous in
justice that spectators who toll
not should reap all the advantages
of rise in value before the wheat
is shipped to the consuming
markets.

Timely Topics
ON -
STUMBLE DIGGERS, SHAW
ERS AND CANE Gull
TIVATORS.

We want to call attention
for a few days to three ma
chimes suitable for sugar land
cultivation.
First-Avery'S "MALLON'
STUMBLE DIGGER, the peer of
all sugar land implements. The
superiority of this machine
over all similar ones is evil
denced by the fact that until
this season the manufacturers
have been unable to supply
the demand for them. Their
features of absolute merit are
as follows:
(a)-Metal wheels with re-
Movable hubs.
(b)-Solid steel teeth.
(c)-Great strength with
lightness of draft.
(d)-Improved flanges with
movable teeth.
Avery'S"M ALLON" IMPROV-
ED STUMBLE SHAVER. This
has lately been greatly i'm
proved and now runs on four
wheels in the funow. The
knives can be raised or lower
ed with ease, with one lever,
without stopping the team.
Can be regulated to shave at
any depth. The knives are
protected by shields, so that it
is impossible for the mules to
be cut by them. There is no
weight on the mules necks.
This Shaver can be turned as
short as a cart and is light
draft for two mules.
Third-Avery's IMPROVED
"MALLON' CANE CULTIVA-
TOR. This implement is used
in the culture of both corn and
cane from the first drifting of
the crop, through the entire
cultivating and Laying by
season. Is simple in con-
struction, strong, durable, light
draft, easily operated and
understood. 1t has the re-
volving sectional discs, which
work on each side of the row,
thoroughly cutting and pull
verizing the soil. The desired
quantity of dirt thrown to the
plant is regulated by changing
the angle of discs on the drag
bar. The operator can pass
rapidly over the crop without
the trouble heretofore ex-
perienced by moist earth stick
ing to the discs, cleaners being
attached to the axle, which
effectually prevents the discs
from Clogging.
These three valuable planta-
ton implements are now in
use at the Pepeekeo, Onomea
and Wainaku plantations and
we shall be pleased to show
testimonial letters from the
managers as to their respective
merits.
To intending purchasers we
would say that the prices of
these machines have been ma
terially reduced this season.
We keep them in stock.

How "Uncle SAM Got His Name

The nickname, ''Uncle Sam,' as
applied to the United States Govern
ment, is said to have originated as
follows: Samuel Wilson, commonly
called, "Uncle SAM" was Govern
ment Inspector of beef and pork at
Troy, New York, about 1912. A
contractor, Elbert Anderson, pur-
chased a quantity OF provisions, and
the barrels were marked ''I1. A."
Anderson's initials, and ~. 81 for
United States. The latter initials
were not familiar to Wilson's work
men, who inquired what they meant.
A facetious fellow answered.: ST don't
know, unless they mean Uncle Sam. ."
A vast amount of property, after
ward passed through Wilson's hands
marked in the same manner, and he
was oftened joked upon the extent of
his possessions. The joke spread
through all the departments OF the
Government, and before long the
United States was popularity referred
to ass'Uncle Sam. October Ladies'
Home Journal.

The Southern Confederacy. also. is

The Southern Confederacy, also, is
sued papermoney on a plan similar to
our own, and at the close of the war
1T became worthless. With the col
lapse OF the government the notes
could not be redeemed.
LET US FREE OUR MINDS
from the error that the government
can make money, real money. Ii it
could. it certainly ought to be able
to make enough for it's own needs.
and would have no excuse for taxing
the people: All that would be nee
essary would be to set the printing
presses in motion. It would be y
cruel government, also, if it did not
make enough to satisfy the needs OF
everybody and Danish poverty alto
sether, when it can be so easily done.
This reduces the argument to an alb
snrdity. No, real money must be
produced by labor. Let us not get
confused, but learn to make the dis
tinction between the promise of a
thing and the thing itself.
The issue Of the greenbacks was a
war measure. The aggregate issue
Was $45O,0OO,OOO. When the war
was ended, it seems that the right
thing to have done would have been
to call them in and pay them as
soon as we were able. They are
simply a war debt. A private person
would have done the very thing.
The Secretary of the Treasury
thought that WAS the proper thing
to do, and by authority of congress
he proceeded to cancel these notes as
they came into the public treasury.
This act has been characterized by
our populist friends as the "burning
OF money" and they think it awful
that millions of dollars should be
destroyed. But there was nothing
more terrible in this than it is for the
fasIner- to take the notes lie has paid
up in the fall. and throw them into
the fire. Nothing Of value would he
destroyed, they had all been paid.
The law authorizing the retirement
OF the greeubacks was repealed, wise
.ly or unwisely, and we have $346,-
6S1, ,O16 outstanding at present, and
as soon as redeemed they are again
re-issued, forming the so-called "end-
less chain'' for depicting the treasury
of it's gold.
