There is an excellent and well-patron-
lied restaurant in this city that the
general public knows little or nothing
about. 1t is situated on the third floor
of the main Office of the Harlan and
Holnngsworth Company, and 1t is pa
tronized by the employees of the main
office of that firm
Formerly the main office closed at
$50 o'clock. and the employees were
Iallowcd one and a-half hours for
lunch Then o new rule went into ef-
feet. closing the office at 4 o'clock and
allowing the men half an hour for
lunch 1t was then that the company
conceived the idea of establishing a
restaurant to be run on a cash basis
for the benefit of its main Office en-
ployes.
A hrst-class chef and colored walters
are employed and an excellent menu Is
served every day. In fact much bet
ter lunch is to be obtained for quar-

CITY WILL GET ALL
TAXES VOW UNCOI.LECTED
Collectors Must Settle Their Accounts
Or Their BOndSmen Will be
Called Upon

Judging from recent stories In local
papers, Wilmington Is in a dangerous
financial condition. because OF derelic-
ton OF duty on the part of the city tax
collectors. This hue and cry is uncalled
for inasmuch as the money spoken OF
will not become due until July ].
Just where these stories came from
is not known. but it IS GER
tain that they never came from the
city tax office. From street gossip it
has been inferred that there Is about
100000 due the city In delinquent
taxes that have been standing ioI
years This is a false impression and
II q person Is at all conversant with
the law he will readily see that such a
state of affairs is impossible. or almost
so. under the laws governing the bond
ing of the collectors. The city holds
bonds against the officials which are
not surrendered to the collectors until
all delinquent taxes are paid. When
Collector Mitchelrs term in Office ex.
pired, July /. 1888. there remained un-
collected the sum of S49, 9,415.95 Mr.
Mitchell continued as collector for two
years. at the expiration of which time
he having collected the delinquen
taxes. balanced his books. settled witt
the city and stepped out Of office. Thi
/ left Collector Thomas Lewis none o
the back taxes of Mr. Mitchell's term u
collect.
It will be the same in the case Of Nj
! Lewis. whose term expires July j o
this year All taxes not paid him b.
that date will be delinquent, Mr.. Levi
will continue to collect until these ar
! all in. and he can then take up hi
bond. George Mccall. who succeed
him. will not have any of his delin
l0uent taxes to collect.

THE CONTEMPT CASH.

The citation of Thurston's Adver-
tiser outfit for contempt OF court will
bring to an issue how far a manifestly
malicious press can go in voicing d
personal and political spite by misrep-
resentatiOn of the courts edicts and a
continuous struggle to ridicule and dis
credit the judges acts.
Thurston's campaign to discredit the
judges of the First Circuit Court Of tho
Territory started in on Judge Humph-
reys. Failing to accomplish anything
but his own downfall the leader of the
"thirty-seven" and the owner of the
Governors official organ turned his
batteries Of Misrepresentation upon
Judge Gear. As Gear went on dispens-
ing justice and paying no attention TO
the attacks, his indifference appears to
have angered the maligner OF tho
courts and led him TO adopt methods
which find no endorsement and offer
no palliating circumstances in the es"
timation of any honest men
Following Judge Gears decision that
prisoners convicted during the "transi-
dict were Illegally convicted and held
Thurston's Advertiser has sought, by
continuous reiteration and warping OF
facts, to represent Judge Gear as the
agent for turning criminals loose upon
the country. Thurston knew and the
people of this Territory Wflo took the
trouble to find out by seeking for facts
which were not stated in the columns
of the Advertiser, that Judge Gear did
nothing of the kind nor were his Judi.
cial acts guided by any such purpose
or intent Relation of facts. however
seemed to be farthest from the purpose
or intent OF Thurston.
Thurston's purpose and intent as
voiced by the news and editorial re-
marks OF his paper has been to place
the Second Judge Of the First Circuit
Court as a friend of criminals and
opener OF prison doors. This was evil
denced in the case OF two Portuguese
boys Of tender years brought before
Judge Gear for theft Hawaii has no
Jail and rather than send these boys

common in the courts OF Hawaii and of

ed, when 1t was found that owing to
carelessness in drawing the law the

on trial,
These are the facts. but Thurston has
seen 1T through his newspaper to take
this incident as the foundation of di-
rectly inferred charge that Judge Gear
is the friend and protector of the wife

than tho home.
