OUR ROYAL REPRESENTATIVE.

The Register this morning presents
an interesting historical and personal
sketch Of Robert William Wilcox, indie
pendent Royalist Representative to Con-
gress from Hawaii. His career has
been romantic one, and his election
as an Independent candidate is open to
such doubt Of its validity that it is I'M
derstood that his seat will be contested
when the new Congress assemblies next
spring. Mr.. Wilcox, whose genealogy
is given with some minuteness, is the
only avowed royalist who has held a
prima facie title to a seat in Congress
since the foundation of the government,
and his election is an indication of the
mixed assemblage of lawmakers we
shall have in the years to come, when
we have assimilated few more node
script peoples.

The Philadelphia Times is authority
for the statement that the substitution
of automatic" for hopper" closets in
sixty thousand residences in that city
has resulted in daily saving of 6.000,-
900 gallons of water, and that if the
improved device were generally adopt
ed there would be a daily saving of
100000 gallons. The waste of water
in American cities constitutes one of
the chief drains upon the taxpayers
and yet plenty Of fresh and pure water
is a good thing.

The Subsidy StpaI
Philadelphia Record.

FhliaGelphla Record.
An organ of subsidy says that it
ought to make America blush to read
the increasing list of foreign steamship
lines which are engaging in our grow
ing carrying trade, while not a single
new American line is announced. The
only cause for blush is over the pol
icy which persists in perpetuating this
condition of things. Repeal the navi-
cation laws, permit every American
owner of ship to foist over it his
country's flag, put stop to the lure
of an immense subsidy, and an Amer
lean merchant marine will rise as by
magic on the high seas. The official
reports which pretend to show the
small amount of tonnage in the ocean
carrying trade are utterly worthless

Down In Hardy.
Special to the Register.
KEYSER, W. Va, November U.s.
Wardensville, Hardy county, and the
section of mountain territory there
about is probably one of the finest
hunting grounds in the State. At
present there are great many hunt
ers in that vicinity. A party OF three
Parkersburg and two Wheeling MINI
rods few days ago were chasing
large five pronged buck. which be-
came so badly frightened that it dash
ed headlong over cliff of rocks, sew
enty-five feet high, killing itself in
stantly. Wade Haycock, citizen Of
that section, has large bear to his
credit this week, but the greatest catch
of the season was an immense deer,
which was shot last week by Miss Lou
Funkhouser, whose father and broth
ers were away from home when the
dogs chased the animal into the river
nearby, whereupon Miss Funkhouser
took her fathers Winchester and killed
it at the first shot.

remedy for overcrowded school houses
is so simple that everybody wonders
why it was not thought of long before.
1t is really strange that while truant
officers were engaged in arresting rum
away pupils for whom there was no
room in school, and While eager chill
dren were forced to stay at home all
of half the time, no one should have
suggested the portable school build
ing. Each Of Boston's portable school
houses is twenty-five by twenty five
feet in measurement. This allows to
each Of the sixty pupils thirty cubic
feet of air. The cost of the buildings
is S1,250 each, and of the heating and
yentilating apparatus $3.50 more. Only
ten days are required to put up port
able school-house ready for use. The
Boston architect who planned the struc-
lures has solved a problem which at
times eonfronts every large city.

TAHLEQUAH LETTER.
Interesting News From the
Cherokee Council,
Tahlequah, I. t., Nov. IA.

for the past few days was a petit
ton from David Muskrat, Daniel
Gritts and Frank Boudinot claim
ing to be an executive committee
of the eastern or emigrant Chero-
kee council, showing that they had
employed one John Vaile Of Fort
Smith, Arkansas, with his asso-
ciates to collect the greater portion
of the s4,3O0,000 claim of the
Cherokees against the United
States, alleging that a greater por-
ton of this claim belonged to the
eastern or emigrant Cherokees and
asked the National Council to en-
dorse the action of the So called
eastern Cherokees in contracting
with the said John Vaile and his
associates and giving them ID per
cent for making the collection.
The following is the resolution
council was asked TO pass, to-wit:
"Be it resolved by the national
council, that the United States is
respectfully petitioned to pay with
out further delay the amounts
found due the Cherokee people
under the Slade- Bender account
ing, and to give full weight and
credit to the organization OF the
eastern or emigrant Cherokees Of
the Cherokee nation and the con-
tract made with John Vale, Esq,
Of Fort Smith, Arkansas, by the
authority of the emigrant Chero-
kee council for the collection of
the money due the said eastern or
emigrant Cherokees. y
The senate referred the matter
to its committee for action.
Senator B. G. Fletcher Of Flint
district then introduced resolu-
ton which is now pending before
the senate, protesting against the
secretary Of the interior approving
the contract with John Vale.
The following bill now pending
before the senate, having been in
troduced by Senator G. ]. Harris,
will probably pass with some
amendments. Some people are
inclined to think that only chose
who are enrolled by the Dawes
commission should be allowed to
vote at the next election.

The following important part OF
the report of the board of educa-
ton touching upon the orphan asy-
lum has been referred TO special
committee who will visit the in
stltution and give it an airing:
This includes only the money
appropriated by council, and does
not include the produce OF the farm
and stock, which yields, approxl-
mately. 1881 bushels of wheat,
corn from 181 acres: 10 tons OF
millet, 80 bushels of oats from ten
acres of land; 300 bushels of pota-
toes, 175 bushels Of onions, $500
pounds of pork, $500 pounds OF
beef and 900 gallons Of milk
On considering the matter care
fully the board has come to the
conclusion that $11, 100000 is am
ply sufficient, even for a larger
number of inmates, if properly
used, but we found the superin-
tendent labOring under two great
disadvantages, to-wit: 1st. Buy
ing large quantities OF supplies at
retail prices. 2nd. He sold his
wheat at less than 81 cents per
bushel and paid 1920 per hundred
pounds for -four. He pays $2.2O
for one hundred pounds of flour
when three bushels Of wheat val
ued at about s1.55, yields one
hundred pounds of -four plus the
bran and shorts, thus losing the
bran and shorts and 65 cents on
every hundred pounds Of flour SO
purchased.
