The Governor an Economist.

The Governor, it is said, is some
what riled, over what he has discovered
and charges to be a Encouragement on
the part Of the Southern Maryland To-
bacco Inspectors in running their re-
spective Warehouses. Too much ex-
pense is incurred, in that too much help
IS employed, and other expenses
are incurred in the rivalry existing
among the warehouses tomake a good
showing as to receipts which are un-
necessary Of course the Inspectors
should not employ an unnecessary force.
ana while a fair and GENEROUS rivalry
between the warehouses to out-do each
other in securing consiguments of T.
bacco is light and proper, in carrying
on such a friendly warfare
the public should not in any way be
made to suffer. As%to the former
charge there seems to be no foundation
The Inspectors are all prudent, practi-
cal business men, upright of character
and standing, and as they deny the
charge, we must accept their statements
as absolutely ktrue. 80 the charge of
an unnecessary expense in draying to-
baeco from one warehouse to another at
behest of the owner or owners, his or
their friend or friends, they plead guilty
We are informed as to the fact of such
practice eNhhng, deplore it, and
you'd like t~ee it brok@h sp. 1t ex-
Sled long before thegSsn ]. % office,
and in Difference to the Mshss of the
shippers it has since been purst. a as a
: practice, they have felt bound to Sserve.
So. it seems the alleged charges
amount to nothing and are simply
much ado about nothing" But
even were there anything in these So
eallg offenses to arouse the ire of the
most sensitive sentimentalest on the
subject of practical economy in the
management Of public affairs, does it not
seem Strange that the Governor did not
discover the existence of the pernicious
practice ere this. In justice to the In
spectors they should have been notified
of any particular line of policy his Ex-
cellency desired pursued when in put
in office. The Governors idea of ,rm
in small matters seems to have coM up
on him rather suddenly He seems to
have had no idea of economy when he
opened No. 4 warehouse few months
ago at heavy expense when the open
ing of the same was altogether unneces-
sary. No one asked that it be done
He did it of his own volition and in Do
ing so expense did Whot seem to fgf 9
in his calculations. &His action in u
latter respect is not consistent with p
present position. If economy is The Aal
motive underlying his attack upon the
Southern Maryland Inspectors, it would
look better for him to first close up his
warehouse he opened unneG 4rily and
stop that expense and then foll6y up
policy His action in this particular as
it now stands looks disingenuous.

Among the habitues behind the
scenes at the Philharmonic, she
mentions a certain Major Larkins I;
and adds that he got down on his
luck, went out to San Francisco,
took a Mrs. Muybridge out driving
and was shot by the aggrieved
Muybridge. 1t was in 1871 or IL
that a Major Larkins came down in
the Idaho to Honolulu, and cut a
great swathe in the society of those
days. The Major could talk, or
was supposed to talk, many Ian
guages he was great at croquet,
danced divinely, was wealthy, etc.
He foregathered with a kindred
spirit a certain Captain Nicholson,
and the two took what was then
known as the Allen house up the
Valley. All went merry as mar
riage bell till the bills began to
come in, and then the whole affa +
collapsed and the wealth was found
to be non-existant. Some kind OF
an arrangement was made, and the
pair got away. In San Francisco,
the tragic end came to Larkins
career, Muybridge distinguished
himself later by taking photographs
of horse in motion.
This little incident from a distant
past makes one wonder whethel
Honolulu is any wiser now than i
was then-whethe the adventures
does not have as good time and
take in as many people now as ht
did a quarter of a century ago
The plausible rogue still haunts ou
beach and sometimes makes a gooc
strike, forsakes sack, as Falstaf
says, and lives clearly for a time
but he always gets bowled out a
last. So it is very doubtful if Homo
lulu is any wiser now, in 1897, thar
it was in 1872. The race of rogue
still exists, and the gulls exist 70
their advantage.

Be ides the Trans Mississippi Elk
hibition Of 1898, there is the Paris
Exposition of 1900 to be thought
of, and, as the two are close to-
gether, preparations for the one may
be made with the idea of continuing
the exhibit in the other. There is
already a bill in the United States
Senate appropriating $780, 900 to
defray the cost of suitably repre-
senting the United States at Paris.
This bill directs the heads of the
various departments to prepare ex-
hibits illustrative of the history,
statistics and methods of admins
tration Of the government; it also
provides for a director-general and
assistants. When our next Legis-
lature meets an eye will have to be
cast tor an appropriation in this
direction. 1t is the best kind Of
advertising, and we should spend
literally. AS has been urged in
these columns, when previously
speaking of these exhibitions, what
we want to do is to show modern
Hawaii with its products, its adj
vanced education and its dvantages
for tourists. We do not want tc
show a collection of stone ADDE'S,
fusty mats and poi calabashes,
Those are curios belonging to a by.
gone age; we want to show the
growing Hawaii of today. Thi:
can be done, and we'll done but il
will require working up, and in.
terest taken in it by all. By al
means, let US make a good and q
worthy showing.

Daylight Events to be
Shot Off.

Yesterday was great day for the
trapshooters, both at live birds and in
animate targets. The season was
opened by the Pelican Gun Club with
hvebird shoot, and the kindergarten ele-
ment carried off the honors.
J. M. Morrison condescended to ap-
pear before the traps and try conclu-
sions with the Kids" After missing
four birds straight, as a starter. Cap
tain Yoerk presented him with a pair of
field glasses with instructions to look
leetle out'd," and a small fire was
kfndled near the traps for his special
benefit
1t was great day, cool and crisp,
with lot of good birds and enthusiastic
shooters.
John Gerber was seen once more be-
fore the traps, and he grassed his birds
In his usual one-barrel style.
Captain Ruhstaller was there to see
that his friend, the ex-champion, had
falr play but he did not have quite
enough strings on the birds.
r. A. Nicolaus of the kindergartners
carried off the honors of the day. He
shot in good form, while F. c. Yoerk,
also one of the gang" dropped into
second place.
w. E. Gerber wanted a team shoot,
but when reminded that the last event
of that kind was won by the Kids"
and that the proposed theater party had
not as yet materialized, he concluded
that they could not afford to put up too
much amusement for the aspiring
champions.
The match was at IS birds, and the
scores Were as follows.
