A HOMllY ON TASTE.

1t is held by some to be the duty
of those who undertake to cater for
the public to strive to fulfil the pub
lie wish. This is applied to pro-
fessions, trades, business, callings,
and every line of enterprise depen-
dent on public patronage for exist
ence. Others contend that where
it is optional with the public whether
they bestow or withhold their
patronage, it is also optional with
those who offer their knowledge,
talents, or wares for what they con-
slider quid pro quo in cash, to en-
deavor to please their patrons or to
be perfectly Indifferent on that
score. But there can be no differ
ence of opinion on this one point,
that the public caterer will receive
public support in proportion to the
extent of his satisfying the public
taste. This is as true of the stage
actor and professional musician as
of the grocer and baker. Demand
for an article is not necessarily
measured by the intrinsic goodness
of the article, but by public taste.
The really good and pure may beg
in vain for recipient, while the
spurious is in large requisition.
Thus, superior musical composition
or classical drama may be received
with stolid indifference, while Yam
kee Doodle or foolish farce elec-
trifies the same audience from
centre to circumference. 1t is q
matter of taste, and as taste is O
matter which has never been de.
cided by the arts and sciences
every man has an undoubted right
to his own taste. As matter OF
fact the taste of the majority in
most communities is not in the direc-
tion of the classical, either in music
or drama. Through inability or
unwillingness to recognize this
truth, some gifted public entertain
ers fail where they might otherwise
succeed. If, for instance, instead
of playing lengthy complicated COM
positions and singing fine operate
selections in a language that is moi
understood by the audience, short
pieces and popular songs in plair
English were substituted, less would
be heard about empty seats anc
lack of appreciation. OF course,
respectable minority admire ant
prefer the classical, but the maj
ority do not. 1t has been said tina
Honolulu is unlike other places
that the people are so cultured an
refined that high standard music an
acting will always attract crowd
If so, why should admittedly abl
artistes sing and play to. empt

be well for any who may seek OF

A Confederate. Cavalry Generals Way.

"Ieb Stuart was a very daring fellow

produced. At the second Manassas. soon
after we heard Of the advance OF Mellow

moment. but he requested Stuart 10 wait
awhile. Thereupon Stuart turned round
in his tracks, lay down on the ground, put
a stone under his head and instantly fell
asleep Gen. Lee rode away and IN an
hour returned Stuart was still sleeping
Lee asked for him, and Stuart sprang TO
his feet and said:. Here / am, general
Gen. Lee replied: Il want you To send
n message to your troops over on the ieft
TO send few more cavalry over to the

Il would better so myself, said stuart,

New England Beans for Congressman.


Every day or two | see the Massachu
sets members vending their way IN
groups over to the senate wing of the cap
itol about lunch time. That queer under
tow which keeps the two houses so far
separate, though they sit within stones
throw of each other, also generally makes
the members patronize their own restaur-
ants.
On inquiry ii turned out that the Massa-
chusetts men went over TO the other end
to get some baked beans, which Senator
Frye's protege, Landlord Page, serves in
regular New England style. Those over
at the house are weak in their color and
baked in II mass. while Page has Il knack
of putting his beans upon the table with
the real Yankee red tint and each bean
perfect in its form. This is what catches
the New Englanders, who all potronize
Pages bean-pot during the week. But
he tells me that he has made no money
since he came To Washington, and on the
contrary has actually lost some. He says
the senate restaurant is not paying
property, unless liquor is allowed 10 be
sold over the counter.
