The death of tlie I on. S. G. Wilder is sin event of in'.ional con cern. Scarcely anyone i i the land could have departed this life, leav ing so many utul so deep-felt regrets behind. Although it had been pretty generally understood for several days past that there v;n3 not the slightest ground of hope for the afllictcd gentleman's recovery, the announcement of his demise, be tween 7 and 8 o'clock this morning, produced a sudden gloom among all classes of the community. The whole town has worn an aspect of sadness throughout the day. Every body bears the impress of a sense of loss. The nation mourns the de parture of one who has done more for the advancement of the country than any other citizen one whose place it will be hard to f.ll. He has passed into the unseen world ; we mourn his departure ; wo feel our loss. DO THE FACTS AND ARGUMENTS AGREE? In the discussion in the Legisla ture on the item in the Appropria tion Bill for extending the electric light system, to include the lighting of private residences, etc., it was held by the Ministers that by the Government undertaking such works the cost of supply would be cheap ened to the people. An argument of this particular nature, if accepted as valid and true, naturally makes the proposition popular, and the 'Ministers who used it well knew that, otherwise they probably would not have , adduced it. We con cede, that on its face it looks like a reasonable argument ; for a private party or company requires to make a profit from the capital invested, whereas the Governraeat may lose sight of this object altogether, and aim only at paying rurning expen ses, while supplying a demand. Hut how does the argument comport with general facts? It is held by some writers who have studied the question, that the argument is be lied by the facts, that the Govern ment production is usu.iily as costly as, when not more cosily than, the production of private enterprise At all events, this point is easily verified, that a private enterpiise usually costs less to ni.i than a simi lar venture conducted by Govern ment. Here in Honolulu the water works are Governinenjt property and we are of opinion that they should be, for sanitary reasons but will anybody say wo have cheap water? Don't think bo. MONOPOLY ALL THE SAME. One argument used by persons who favor the idea of Government undertaking such private enterprises as furnishing people with light in their houses, is that it would pre vent a monopoly. How, pray? If tho Government declines to allow private enterprise to take up tho firKfrift, Venture, ami reserves the . otitlro tight of the undertaking to itsolf, is not n monopoly thereby created, a Government monopoly? It is so strango that some men cannot understand that a Govern ment monopoly is just as much a monopoly as a private monopoly 1 There may, perhaps, bo some good reasons for preferring a Government monopoly to a private monopoly, and there are also some good rea sons for reversing the order. Gov ernment monopolies arc no new thing, and we think the balance of testimony is in favor of the private article, where it is a matter of choice between the two. A private mon opoly can be restricted, limited, and regulated by the Government, but can the Government monopoly be affected in the same way? Tho Government is supreme, and the weak cannot affect the strong as the strong can affect the weak. The contention that because the Government is from the people, the people can therefore regulate the Government, is very plausible, but experience shows the doctrine to be more a myth than a reality. Really, what control has the people over our Government meaning the Executive and the Legislature at the picsent time? If this question be met by the assertion that they (the men constituting the Government) are the people's choice and represent the people, wc venture the opinion, in reply, that if they now appealed to their constituencies for re-election, a large proportion of them Mould be left out in the cold. In truth, they follow their own bent, and concern themselves a very little about the views of their constitu encies. Then besides, what control can the people exercise over the Government meaning the Execu tive between the sessions of the Legislature, pci iod of about twenty months? None whatever. It is sheer nonsense lb say that a monopoly in the hands of Govern ment is preferable because it can be controlled by the people. A Gov ernment monopoly, too, experience !hows to be the worst kind of a monopoly, and seldom falls short of being a tyranny. A DRUMMER'S EXPtRUNGE. "mO.M WIII'.XCLCOW'STTHOU, 1'AISU?" One thing I like about these "Knights of the Road," is that they are great fellows lor secret societies. Most of the drummers belong to everything that is going, from the "Grand Knights of the Diamond Gaiter" down to the "Sons of Tem perance." I am quite a hand for all such mysterious tilings myself, so I get 'olid with all the boys. My old friend Ciookston called on mc the other day to see if I needed any drugs and have a visit. Wc had a jolly old time. While we were sitting in the office a chap came in and wanted to bor row 82 on account of a remittance not coming to him as expected. I toid him my 82 I kept to lend was in now, being sent in the day before bv Johnnie Mclntire, but I never lent it except to drummers. He said, "Thai's me." 1 gave him the grand hailing sign of the Odd Eel lows, which he tumbled to. Then came the great "hail in the sooth grip of a Pylhonic." lie tumbled. Then Crook gave him the G. 13. of the Sons of Malta. He was on to it. Then I tipped him tlie hair poker signal of a good Tippler. lie smiled and said, "O. K." This is chemical term meaning "water." Then Crook stuck out his hand and gave him tlie 1. D. Q. sign of a Arch Brick Mason. lie "got tliar" on that. Then Crookston examined him as follows, to make sure he was a drummer: "From whence comist thou, pard?" "Erom the Lodge of the Holy St. Johns., Michigan." "What seek ye here to do?" "To take a few orders and collect a bill on Bilson." "Then you are a drummer?" "I am so taken and accepted by all the boys." "How may I know you to be a drummer?" "By my cheek and my fifty-pound sample case. Try me." "How will you be tried?" "By tho square." "Why by the squaro?" "Because tlie square is a magis trate and nn emblem of stupidity." "Where were you first prepared to bo a drummer?" "In my mind." "Wlieie ne:U." "In a printing ofllco, adjoining a regular post of ilrummeis." "How were you prepared?" "By being divested of my last cent, my cheek rubbed down with a brick, a bunion plaster over each eye, and a heavy sample case in each hand. In this fix 1 was con ducted to the door ot the post." "How did you know it was a door being blind?" "By first stepping into a coal scuttle, and afterwards bumping my head on the door knob." "How gained you admission?" "By benefit of my cheek," "I-Tnd you tho required chcekr' "I had not, but Bears had in hie pocket forme." "How were you received?" "On tho sharp toe of a boot, ap plied to my natural trousers." "What did this teach you?" "Not to fool around too much." "What happened next?" "I was set down on a cake of ice atid asked if 1 put my tni9t in mer cantile reports." "Your answer?" "NoLif I know myself, I don't." "How were you next handled?" "I was put straddle of a goat, made 2x1, and trotted nine times around the room by four worthy brothers, and then brought in front of the left power for further instruc tions." "How did he instruct you?" "To approach a customer in three upright regular steps with my busi ness caul extended at right angles, my arms forming a perfect square." "How was you then disposed?" "I was again seated on a cake of ice in front of a dry goods box and made to take the following horrible and binding oath: "1, Charles S. Bobinson, do here on and herein most everlastingly and diabolically swear by the Great Hob Tail Flush that I will never rc vc.il and always steal all the trade secicls I can for the use and benefit of this most August Order. And I further swear by the Bald Headed Jack of Clubs, that I will never give, carve, make, hold, take or cut prices below the regular rates. And I fur ther swear by the Pipers that played before Moses, to never have any commercial dealings witli any man or his wife, sister, grandmother, old maid aunt or uncles, unless they, he, she or it is sound on the goose. Binding myself under no other penalty than to have my gripsack slit from top to bottom, my dirty shirt and socks taken out and my reputation removed and buried in the river at Pearl street bridge, where the Salvation Army ebbs and Hows every two and one-half hours. So help me Bob Ingersoll, and keep mc in backbone." "1 was then asked what I most needed." "What was your reply?" "Money." "What did you then behold?" "A copy of Duncan & Co.'s re pot ts open at chapter 'Muskegon.' Upon the open book rested a p.iir of ding scales, in one of which reposed ten pounds of concentrated lye, and in the other sat a small silver jack ass." . "What did this emblem signifv?" "The scalcs'indicatcd the balance between debtor and creditor. The other emblems repicsented lie abilities and assets of bankrupts." "Did this teach you any lesson?" "You bet: It taught me the fact that the former are generally so al mighty much better than the lat ter." "Shake, brother. Will you be off or from?" "Both, if I can borrow money enough to get out of town on." "Have you any cigars?" "I have." "Give 'em to me." "I did not so receive 'em ; neither will I so impart 'em." "How will j'ou dispose of 'em?" "On sixty days time, ora per cent cash f. o. b." "All right, begin." "No, begin you.' "Nn, vuu beuin." "'Up 'Em Set.'" "Set 'em up." "The words and sign are right. Brother Crooks he i3 a yard wide and all wool, and you can bet on him." "Brother Crookston and I each lent the chap So and be left with many thanks and kind wishes. "Now, you can see by this what a help it is to a feller when he gets dead broke among strangers to have these little tilings to fall back on." Michigan Tradesman. SUNDAY SERVICES. C A.
