4 HAPPY DIsCOYERY.

70, Happiness! our beings end and aim!
 Good, pleasure, ease, content, whate'er thy name!
 eternal sigh,
 For which we bear to live or dare to die. Which still so near us, yet beyond us lies,
 Overlooked, seen double, by the fool and wise.
 Plant of celestial seed! if dropt below, Say in what mortal soil thou deignst to
 grow"
 This ancient and anxious inquiry has
 at last been answered, and answered, too, in exact accordance with the fitness of things. The mortal soil in which
 Happiness deigns to grow is, naturally
 enough, the soil of New Haven, and, as is most proper, the head man of the will lage has gathered the first-fruits. He
 announces that he is happy, and by this
 announcement gives New Haven the
 boom that she has been looking for,
 and also gives his subjects good hope that they, too, may yet have whack
 at the fruit of the Tree of Happiness. It will be a great thing for New Haven that Happiness has grown, ripened and
 been plucked here The Chamber of
 Commerce can use this glorious fact to
 great advantage in it's dealings with the South American republics and in all
 the advertisements of New Haven
 which it distributes throughout this re-
 public. As soon as 1t is known that
 Happiness grows here there will be
 rush for the place greater than the
 rush for Tombstone, Cripple Creek, Dead Mans Gulch and other melan-
 choly places where only gold and un- happiness have been found. Everybody wants to be happy, and we feel sure that our happy and unselfsh mayor is l as ready to show everybody where
 Happiness grows as everybody Is to ask him. The town will soon be full of seekers for Happiness and it is our sin
 cere wish that 1t may also be full of finders thereof.
 We cannot doubt that the mayor is happy. That would be treason and also against the interests of New Haven. It would also be blow to the hope of others which we do not feel justified in l inflicting. But when we read that he
 intends and apparently expects to con- | tinue happy the experience and the wis dom of the past cast an ominous shad- ow over the brightness of the present. Of course we do not know why he | shouldn't continue to be happy. We | heartily hope he will, and it may be | that he who has discovered that New
 Haven is where Happiness grows may be able to continue to pluck it peren- | nially and sempiternally. But the wise have always looked upon those who i thought themselves happy and expected l to continue happy as in danger. One
 wise man, and a head man, too, in or l der to remind himself and one of his l fatterers of the sad vicissitude of 1 things had a sharp sword held only by a single horse-hair hung over himself
 at one of his banquets. Another wise
 man said, Count no man happy until
 he is dead" And another said: ''Ye who listen with credulity to the whis- pers of fancy and pursue with eager
 ness the phantoms of hope; who expect
 that age will perform the promises of youth and that the deficiencies of the
 present day will be supplied by the
 morrow; attend to the history of Rasse-
 las, Prince of Abyssinia."
 But such wisdom and such forebod-

An interesting feature of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach's budget statement was the comparison between what the Eng fish monarchy formerly cost and the sum required for it's maintenance to- day. Under George I. there was civil list of e1,Oo0,ooO But from this His Majesty paid the salaries of numbers of government officials. Under Will liam T., after relieving the list of many burdens, Parliament fixed it at s510,- 900. To-day the entire appropriation for the royal family does not exceed G400,0 while the income from crown sources available for the public needs cuts the actual expenditure for the monarchy down to e185,0O0. Thus Queen Victoria, notwithstanding the amount of the funds provided by Par liament for her family is undoubtedly the cheapest monarch England has seen for many generations.

Paris boasts of an official rat-catcher
 He has served his town in this capacity for over thirty-five years and he tells with pride that during that time he has caught, unaided by trap, over a mil lion rats with his own hands. He is eX
 tremely proud of his profession, and on his card is emblazoned a crest formed by two rats rampant. Nowadays the labors of the strange man are not par ticularly remunerative, but during the siege the official rat-catcher made a small fortune; then not only the com mon folk, but the purveyors of the great restaurants, were only too glad to pay a franc for a well-fed rodent

 That's easy enough, isn't 1t? And yet the expense of conducting this associa- tion for one year was one third of it's entire receipts. It will never be able to pay back the money paid in as capital, not to speak of interest, and yet it re- ports interest earnings of more than 1S per cent per year, or, In it's language, ''27 per cent. for the average yearly in vestment"
 So much for the endorsement of the state. Another concern placed $100,000 security with an adjoining state in or der to use this endorsement all over the country, when, as matter of fact It wasn't worth a cent of security outside the state where deposited, and where the concern avoided doing business. Thus the bill calling for the appoint ment of commissioner for the examin- ation of cooperative building and loan associations in this state is a very im- portant measure.

The flour mills in the Washington cities bordering on Pugent Sound are said to be running night and day on account of the big demand for bread stuffs from Japan and China. The peo- pie out there are now boasting that they are prospecting "even under the gold standard for their exports are sold to foreign countries that pay in gold. Not only that, but in the min- eral countries east of the Cascade mountains gold mining is fourishing. In Spokane there is not a vacant house, and 1t is hard to rent even room, on account of the activity in the gold min ing region contiguous. There is prob ably not another city west of the Mis- souri river where there is so much stir and business activity, and it is all bas- ed on the yellow metal.

After June Cleveland, Ohio is going to attempt to have every passenger on the street cars have seat.

A provision in the ordinance is that whenever the must hang out a sign labeled, sNo seats," which is to constitute a suff- cient warning to prospective patrons not to board the car.

Want The CABLE
Japanese Correspondents
Will Seek Information.
Are on Pleasant Excursion and In
cidentalIy Studying the Con-
dition of Islands.

The newspaper representatives who
are here from Japan, came East to see
Honolulu and write TO their papers the
conditions as they find them rather
than furnish fash head stories for their
papers. In a conversation yesterday
one of these gentlemen said:
I'VE did not know Honolulu until
we arrived here; the trip is rather a
delightful excursion for US all. We
have met friends instead of enemies
and have been cOurteously treated by
everyone with whom we have come in
contact.
THE Naniwa will remain here 100
days and l think we will return on her
Before long the Heyo, a sort of train
ing vessel, will arrive in Honolulu and
will probably return to Japan when the
Naniwa leaves here. 1t is quite likely
Japan will send war vessels here fire.
quently, not as menace, understand,
but because of the effect the presence
of war ship will have upon the thous-
ands of Japanese in Hawaii.
while we are here we will inquire
about matters which concern our peO-
pie; if we can get new ideas in your
newspaper offices or anywhere else,
ideas that are improvements on ours
we will use them. Our people feel that
the negotiations by the two Govern
ments in the labor difficulty will be
very promptly settled; there should be
no delay because it is really nothing
complicated / am told that COM
munication was sent to the Hawaiian
Government by Minister Shimamura,
II days ago, but no answer to it has
been received; probably they have been
too busy in the Foreign Office to give
it their attention. But when the an
swer is received it will not take long
to settle up the business, l should say
20 or 80 days at most. Just now we
are sending off budgets of correspond
ence of our views of Hawaii and the
conditions.
What Japan needs very much is a
cable and that is one of the items we
will inquire into while we are in Ha-
waii. l am told, though, that the bene-
fit, or revenue is not commensurate
with the expense of building. Hawaii
needs cable connection with the Unit
ed States quite as much as Japan with
Hawaii, and l am surprised that one
has not been built before this"
A brief history of the cable projects
in Hawaii was related to the cores
pondent, particular stress being laid
on the franchise question.
81 am quite sure Japan would be
Willing to appropriate more money,
in the way of franchise, than Hawaii.
If Hawaii is willing to pay $4,000 a
year franchise, Japan will pay $4,000
because we want the cable. The capt.
alists of Japan and the Government
are anxious to do everything possible
to further the scheme and 1 hope
will be able to learn something about
it before we leave"

charge of the store on Fort street just
mauka Of McLeans blacksmith shop
when the man in question, a sailor by
the name OF James Burns, entered the
store and, it is said grabbed a lot of
change amounting TO about two dollars
which the Chinaman was counting
over. He then ran out of the shop and
up town The Chinaman was after
him, pigtail flying, and as stated above
followed him to the police station
where Burns was locked up for investi-
cation.
Bun Kee, the owner of the store
came up later and verified the story
told by his store-keeper. The case will
probably come up in the Police Court
today. Burns denied that he took the
money and said that what he did have
in his pocket was obtained by selling
his coat. There were a number of ma
tives in the store when the thing took
place.

ton was held in the hall of the Cham
Der of Commerce last night.

these the association will elect three
judges, one from each club.
In regard to choice of positions on
the first year, the clubs will draw
Should the Myrtles draw first choice

year. The clubs drawing second and
third places will take the choice on the
second and third years of the compact
The races are to be Towed on the
second week of September over the

Other rules go on to provide for
fouls, etc. Minor matters will be left
TO the discretion of the judges.

Fourth of July committee had asked
him to call attention to the association
of the sports set for the Fourth. The
association will take action on this
on the next meeting.
