I v. V Lebanon Express. , H. Y. K1RKPATR1CK, Ediior - and - Proprietor. City omGial Paper." Lot us either take Hawaii or leavo it alone. Tim protectorate idea is bosh. Carried out, it would involve us in diflicultite without dignity. It would not give Hawoii the government she needs, mid, worst of all, it would give to the I'nited States an impossible role. The protectorate is not a form of government practicable for" us. ew York Sun. Selfishness will kill a town, liberality nd public spirit will build it up. When men serve their ends without regard to the city's interest they strike ;i blow at its progress. 'Between a town with money and another with enterprise we would choose the hitter, Mon eyed, men are of but littlo benefit to a town unless thov are of the right kind unselfish, generous and public spirited. Money alone will not make a town or cause business to grow and thrive. Behind it must be willing, wide-awake, ener getic men with push. The use of electricity in the kitchen for cooking purposes will be a godsend to housekeepers and their help, if the electric fluid can really be made to render as good and sure service there as is render ed by coal, wood or gas. It is al ready used successfully arid satin faetoriiy in some establishments, both in Boston and elsewhere, and Kdison is not the only person who can tell of its superior serviceabili ty as a broiler, roaster, boiler, und b i cer. Cheap, of course; why not? We cannot surely run short of elec triuitv. Ex. ' i hese. p a bill before the. legis I v ii re for "an act to exempt homes'-, nis from jxeeution," that is u.j using tiroad smiles to appear on tie fjiees of all dead-beats, who p, av earnestly for its psfiage. flie hil' proposes that every hjiuse 3nMci' having a family shall be en titled to an efitiJtv ot hvasestead to si he extent ill value of $1,000, 111 the farm or lot of land and huild hiifx thereon, owned or possessed -by him by lease or otherwise, and .that the same shall be exe.npt to t he above amount for attachment, i'u'fgment, levy or execution, or le or the payment of his store bills. The enthusiastic efforts of Port land people to restore to the China man his kidnapped wife, are very commendable. Portland people are not always consistent. Their di vorce calendar shows a stiong en deavor to separate man and wife, and divorces are an every day .occurrence. This endeavor to hting together again this lone f i ini ui and his almond-eyed wife, would indicate a change of heart. We heartily approve of their efforts to right a grievous wrong, but the thought occurs to us. why do the authorities make so much fuss about a man's wife being kidnapped, while their efforts to evenge the murder of Chinamen aod even white men are often so weak. Has murder become so common as to attract no attention? "Does advertising pay?" is a question some business men ask themselves. If they will take par ticular notice of the "ads" in the different papers and magazines that come into their hands, the answer should be evident to them that it does nav. For instance W. L. ;ouglas, the great shoe manufac turer, advertises in nearly every paper and magazine in the United fHafcei. . AUlllfc VI irllD GUMIUU'UO expense tht advertising is to him It he did not only know that it paid him all expenses, but also a huge profit besides, do you think lie would have advertised so ex. i tensively all these years? Of course not. Advertising is wimi nan umuc a large portion of his money for him. All the wealthy business men have built up their business, d thus gained their wealth, by YortisitiK. Another point is, :r pay strict attention to their " and secure good positions, i ' thev will be read the most, t sit does cost a trifle more, as low tho returns will be in If you have a business that 111 bear advertising, advertise it. There is nothing that will so help to build it up and always .re member to carry out fully your promises in your advertisements. The best, advertising in the world is in newspapers that circulate and are read. . The Express is one of this class, and the readers tire com ing in thicker every week. The two rival legislatures in the far-famed state of Kanstis nre at war. Each house had long ago or ganized Populist and Republican and have been enacting laws making, appropriations, etc, re gardless of each other. The Gov ernor sides with the populists, and they seem to have the advantage. The republicans attempted to ar rest the populist clerk who was de fended by his party's champions. Innumerable deputy constables and sersremits at-arins have been sworn in. The militia has also been call ed out by the Governor to suppress the republicans. The populistB are on top, and seem determined to stay. The democrats are few, but they are having lots of fun watch ing the otherB kill themselves physically and politically. Noth ing more riotous and disgraceful was ever seen in any other legisla tive body be the fault with the Republicans or Populists. Kansas has suffered enough from elycloneB droHths &c, without having in their midst such a disgraceful scene. A Bargain. W. C.
