The wise heads of the Senate have
settled upon financial scheme of their
own, which they apparently consider
as quite sufficient to meet the demands
of republican progress for one session
of the legislature Time alone will
prove the wisdom of the Senate. The
attitude of the upper house toward the
financial policy of the country calls to
mind an incident in an old New Eng
land town, where the good fathers of
the hamlet turned out to move house.
All went well until the house had been
moved to the bottom of a steep hill.
At this point a vinegar-faced corner
store orator announced that there were
not enough oxen in the whole town to
take the building over the hill. The
energetic leader of the house-moving
aggregation shouted Drive on" while
the orator stood by the roadside, shout
ing, '.Ye can't do it, We can't do it,
Mid the vOciferation of the counter
factions the drivers goaded their oxen
to the task, the house was taken
over the hill, and the Vinegar-faced
orator retired to the corner grocery.
The general sentiment of the country
has been in favor of broad and pro-
gressive financial policy, but the Sen
ate has announced that rye can't do it, -
and unfortunately has enough votes to
prevent it's being done. The financial
progress of the Senate is piece-meal
makeshift that would suit the New
England fiour-barrel orator.

:. EXPANDED TELEGRAM~.

Some very amusing information about
expanded kilograms has come out in
the course of a trial in London. The
Literary Digest furnishes the result OF
the trial and gives some extracts. The
case was the London Times versus the
Central News Agency. The charge was
improper expansion of kilograms. p"
The case came up through japanese
paper publishing an article showing
that the kilograms had been largely
manufactured in London. and that those
coming from the seat of war came
from Toxic. The counsel for the Times
said:
The Times thought the kilograms
genuine and even commented upon the
excellence of the service in it's editorial
columns. AS matter of fact, the words
received by the Central News during
the war amounted to lab. OF these
1887 were in II kilograms for which
there was no authority. The Times was
supplied with SO, 112 words altogether.
The Times, therefore, paid for an excess
of 9186 words. Among, the instances
in which the Central News representa-
tive had drawn considerably upon his
IMAGINATION was one in which Al words
had been expanded into All. The
Times was not the only paper supplied
with these kilograms. A large number
of publications received the news at
sixpence per line The following are
samples of kilograms which were high
ly edited before they were sent to the
patrons of the Central News Agency:
.''Upon attack Old Nan Ching found
foreign missionary who Immediately
taken under our protection
.This was sent to the Times as:
"'While the Japanese were having
heir desperate fighting in the streets OF
Did Nan Chang they found in one of the
houses brave British missionary, who,
lespite the danger, had determined to
'emain at his post. A special japanese
guard was Immediately ordered to pro-
ect him.
I'm another case the message received
vas:
General Weifor Ping Wang defeat |
d beheaded'
This was expanded into:
A Tien Tsin dispatch states that |
ieneral Wei was beheaded this morn
ng. The Imperial Council had repre-
ented to the Emperor that in retiring
rom Ping Wang before the Japanese
ad commenced their attack upon the
lace, General Wei had been guilty of
owardice before the enemy, and had
to the defeat. Therefore
is death was ordered. General Wei
let his death with fortitude.
One thing can be said for the Homo
Ilu papers. They do not expand the
ews, but they work very hard to con-
ense it. The humor of the above stu
ton lies in the payment of ''sixpence
line" for the expanded" stuff and
hen praising the service in the edi-
,rial columns. Sharp fellows, those of
lie Central News Agency. Stock should
ave sold high!

THUMB MARKS AND TOURISTS.

In considering certain improvements
in the administration of the Registra-
ton Act, the tourists coming to this
Paradise of the Pacific should not be
entirely lost to view. AS the law now
reads, every person arriving in the
country is obliged to register, hand his
thumb mark to the authorities immedi-
ately upon landing. Here again senti-
ment and the thumb mark come into
collision. In this case it is not unlikely
that the collision may cost the coun-
try a good sum in cold cash. As hosts
OF large number of sight-seers, it is
good business if nothing more to make
the life of our visitors as pleasant as
possible, and as free Arom irksOme rules
and regulations.
Under the present reading of the law
the tourist is brought before the regis
trar whether it is his intention to stay
in the country six days or six months
To the Russian the obligation to COM
ply with the thumb mark regulation
not doubt that as the Russian presses
his finger on the ink pad he will glee-
fully whistle Home Again from a For
efgn Shore" or some kindred rounde-
lay. Unfortunately, however, the ma
jority of the public guests who bring
money into Hawaii nei are not of the
Russian disposition, and will not look
upon our new law with the same pleas
ant reflection. Hawaii has not reached
the pOit where a strict police surveiI- |
lance is required over every new conner !
that lands on the wharf, and it is not |
fer the best interests of the country,
financially or politically, to force this
impression upon the people who remain
here only short time and go on their
way about the globe, spreading broad
cast their ideas upon matters and things
Hawaiian.
If it is impossible to exempt the tour
list who comes to the country for a
month or six weeks from registration.
he can at least be given the privilege of
placing his signature-provided he can
write English-upon the registration
blank, instead of leaving the outlines
OF his thumb for the statistician and
police official to ponder over.
1t isstrue that the tourist is no bet
ter than the average citizen of the coun-
try, but it is impossible to make out
what is to be gained by recurring peo-
pie to register who have no intention ,
# becoming citizens, and who will get

The reasons given for the failure OF
the House Of Representative TO take
I'D the current receipts appropriation
bill are as numerous as the individuals
who have opinions to offer. But what
ever the true inwardness of the thing
may be. it is about time the House be-
gan TO grid up it's loins and show signs
of greater activity in connection with
this important measure. The Legisla-
ture has about twenty days in which
TO finish up the work of the session, and
there yet remains no small amount of
work to be done. This is no time for
diIatory measures. and unless the Rep
intend to go home without
passing the appropriation bill, it is
about time they gave the measure their
undivided attention. If the present tao
tics are followed out, the last few days
of the session will find our worthy
legislators up TO their ears in important
work that will either be cleared away
with a rush or left unfinished.

The present income tax in force il
7 Great Britain and ireland is dividec
into five heads, known as schedule
A, B, c, E, D. The object of the tax i
to reach incomes of every sort derived
by residents from sources in and alsC
out of the country. Another object i:
10 avoid unnecessary prying into the
circumstances of the taxpayer. 1t was
with this object that the tax is divided
| into five heads.
! Schedule A deals with income from
lands, including houses, the rent or an
Schedule B deals with the benefits de-
rived from the use of land by the agri-
culturalist. Rent forms the basis of
assessment, and the measure of charge
is one-half the rent value in England
and one-third in Scotland and Ireland.
Under schedules A and B no deduc-
ton is made for repairs. The occupier
pays both taxes, but deducts the tax
under schedule A from the next pay
ment of rent. The landowner in his
turn deducts a proportion of the tax
from any annuities or other charges
there may be on the land and the in
come is thus traced to it's source and
the burden of tax equally distributed.
Schedule G. deals with income derived
colonial or foreign The tax is deducted
from the dividends and paid into the
Bank of England on account of revenue.
With regard to foreign investments, the
persons charged with the payment of
the dividends in England deliver ac-
counts to the special commissioners,
who make out the assessments.
Schedule e deals with official sal
aries or the salaries of those employed
by corporations. In the case of official
salaries the deduction is made from TIE
pay in each department of government.
In the case of corporations the treas
urer makes the assessment.
Schedule deals with incomes from
professions, trades and occupations, be-
sides any miscellaneous sources of in
come not included in the previous sched-
ules. Under this schedule are six cases,
as in Pitts Act of 1899, alluded to in
article. Case l., profits from |
trade, manufacture and commerce. |
Case H., professional incomes. Case III, |
profits of uncertain annual value. Cases
~. and V, income from abroad, from |
sources other than those mentioned in /
Schedule c. Case VI, profits or gains
other than those classified.
In cases l. and II. the charge is made
IN the average profit of the last three
ears And this is eminently just, as
he profits of merchants and the in
ONES of professional men vary consid-
rably from year to year.
The exemptions are: 1. Incomes un-
Ter $3.50 H. Incomes of charities Ill
hospitals, public schools and aims

"FAUST.' y

Henry Irving's version ofGoethe's
aEonstj at the auditorium is the
ndouncement for May 9Th at that
svorite play house. The text of
Wr, Grifith's version of Goethe's
maiestic drama clings closer to the
nreat poets masterwork than that
e any other version now extant,
and Mr.. Griffith makes Mephisto
snirit who increasingly denies"
Re makes him an intellectual devil,
whose business is to present all that
is opposite to good. Grifith's Me-
pbisto does not tempt Faust directly
and brutality, but rather ensnares
him by a strain of reasoning, which
the latter cannot answer because
thew are but reflections of his own
doubts and fears. Retaining Me-
phisto's cunning, his searching rid
icule and savage cynicism, he ech-
oes all the reckless unbel1es of the
human race. their rebellious i'm
pulses, their indulgences and mega
ton of virtues, love and faith, al
ways willing the bad, but always
thereby working the good in spite
of himself. The production will be
magnifcently staged both scenically
and electrically, particularly in the
rpvels on the Broken, which is said
to be the finest scene of the kind
staged.
