The MOana'S Trip.

The Alameda left Honolulu at 1913
O'Clock yesterday morning, after a fast
trip from the Colonies. The Moana
was scheduled to leave San Francisco
yesterday at o'clock. Her maiden trip
to the Coast was a fast one. Some
where in mid-ocean the two vessels
will meet, and should they come with
in speaking distance, the two captains
will be able to inform each other of the
time each vessel has made from port.
1t will be interesting to calculate
which will arrive at it's destination
first. Should the Moana make as fast
time coming to Honolulu as she did go
ing up, she may be expected Wednes-
day forenoon, even without the extra
of wishing to make rec
ord over the Alameda's time.

"FINANCIER" SUGGESTS.
Thinks the Revenue Sufficient
Without Income Tax.

MR.. EDITOR: = Kindly allow a
faithful Government supporter to make
a few remarks on revenues, taxes, etc.
Some days ago one of our evening pa
pers stated that the Minister of
! Finance depends on the income tax for
a large part of the national income,
and what is going to replace the deficit,
should the case go against the Govern
ment. We are continually told the ex-
penditures in all branches of the Gov
eminent are steadily reduced. and put
on a business-like basis. 1t is a mat
ter of fact that the revenues derived
from the Customs Department have
largely increased since the advent of
the present CollectOr-General, because
he makes the importers pay the proper
duties and does not accept any f1ctf-
tious values. The income from the Wa
ter-works has also increased by strict
attention to the rules.
The revenues from the Interior De-
partment proper have greatly added to
the income of the Government; there
are several new heads for licenses alto
gether. Then we have the new License
Act, anyway. Most of the firms pay
greatly increased license fees under
that law. Most everybody that has any
taxes to pay will have noticed in the
last three years that an efficient Tax
Collector, to his credit, be it said, has
largely increased the general tax in
come by putting proper values on our
real estate and personal property.
The earnings from the Postal Bu- |
reau have also increased, besides, the |
has seen fit to reduce the |
interest on deposits on Postal Savings |
Bank and on Post Office bonds. We |
also hear that expenses in the Military |
have been cut down. L, |
for one, think that the people pay
enough taxes, and if the income tax |
should go against the Government, |,
for one, fail to see where it can be
much out.
A suggestion I should like to make
for the benefit of the Government, and
one that should receive a little atten-
ton by our next legislature. We
should have special license officer, a
person that would keep the run of all
the different licenses and have all eX-
amined once year. At present, it is
the duty of the Police Department;
but that bureau has enough work on
hand already. In order to be just,
make every business or profession
(that is carried on for profit take out
a license; no matter if they sell for
eign or homemade goods. Peddlers in
all sorts of ware should also pay Ii
cense Mr. Editor, excuse the length of
my remarks and deal kindly with me,
as I am not a FINANCIER.

HESPER TROUBLES.
First Mate Strikes Sailor Over tn
Head.

The American bark Hesper was
about ready to depart for the Sound
yesterday morning when there cropped
up signs of trouble aboard. The mate
got into a quarrel with one of the men
and struck him over the eye, inficting
a deep wound. The mate said that he
used his fist, but the men of the ship
say he used a rock. From the appear
ance Of the wound it would seem that
the latter was the truth.
At first there was an appearance Of
a lot of trouble for the ship in the ac-
ton of the mate, but matters were ar
ranged so that the Hesper will get
away today. The sailor was allowed
to leave the ship quietly on considera-
ton of receiving a months extra pay.
1t is probable that had this not result
ed there would have been extreme
warmth aboard the Hesper.

LEES RAGGED VETERANS.
A Story About the Great Confederate
Commander aud Little Girl.

~------~N--N->~
The following story of Gen. Lee was
told the Dallas News reporter by an
eX-confed craze soldier, Adjt. Robert
Walker, of Sherman, Texas:
"a few mo,ths after the battle OF
Gettysburg, 1 was made a prisoner of
| wariand carried to noi thern prison. A
| few days after my arrival there pick
ed up an old Philaoelphia paper, pub
| lished few weeks ter The battle of
Gettysburg, which contained r number
OF clippings from papers published in
that part of Pennsylvania through
which the confederate army had pass
ed. All these clippings contained
stories, scenes and incidents pertaining
to the late invasto Some were anus
ing, some pathetic. The one in regard
to Gen. Lee made a Ia 5ting impression
upon my boyish memory, and was as
follows:
ga few days before the battle of
Gettysburg the confederate army pass
ed the residence of a wealthy and
prominent citizen, at the front gate OF
which quite group of ladies had taken
a stand to see that famous band of
ragged veterans pass. Accompanying
the ladies was pretty and bright lit
tie girl of 10 or IL years, who had
provided herself with a large United
States flag aud was waving it at the
rebels as they passed. Not a rough
bells, in fact they seemed to admire her
childish zeal. Finally she inquired of
the soldiers where Gen. Lee was, and
bow would she know him? Some one
told her that Gen. Lee was just in rear
OF that brigade and that he would be
along with the first of the mounted
men who would pass, and she could
recognize him by his large gray horse,
and that he would be on her side of the
pike. Presently the general and: his
staff appeared. and the little girl step
ped out and took a position on the
mounting platform" where she could
wave the flag in the very face of the
great confederate chieftain. The gen.
eral took in the situation at a mo-
ment's glance, and taking off his hat,
he reined his horse up before the ex-
cited child and gave her pleasant
smile, bowed and gently pushed back
the folds of the flag. The little girl
dropped the flag, turned quickly to her
mother. and with clasped bands, ex-
claimed: oh, mamma, don't you wish
he was ours?' -
